@athena-I haven't ovulated. I just started taking it on Saturday. This was my first month and I plan on taking it up until I ovulate.

AF is still here...last time I went to the bathroom, so who knows what is going on. Yesterday it was super light. Still light, but there.

Congrats on your BFP :) You just knew this was your cycle!

Oh sorry I misunderstood. I thought you took it last cycle. Maybe you should wait til after af is over to take it.

Well from everything I have read about it, it tells you to take on CD1. I am just going to go with it this cycle. Nothing to lose since DH's status probably won't change for a few more months anyway.

Well just so you know. Fertilaid definitely works we may not have conceived without it.

The nurse just called back with the results of my blood draw today.

HCG - 905
Progesterone - 26.9

She said they were very happy with my numbers, and unless I got nervous, I didn't have to come back until next Tuesday.

That's good news Rebecca! Hopefully that's put you at ease a little for now.

@LSchrader- Hope you get to the bottom of your af. Like you say could just be down to EPO and making it light. I've been a busy bee researching fertilaid, eve primrose oil & watching Alisa Vitti...I'm the first type af, very heavy to start, clotting then tapers off to light. I think I have an hormonal imbalance which is why I went to GP in Dec because it was making me so weak, dizzy etc, just waiting for referral to gynaecologist to come through.

Hi @Sky! Oooh I never thought I would be excited when someone said they can't fasten their pants! Your getting a little bump, even if it is bloat, your going have to get used to it! Tried watching Fringe, my mum loves it but it was a bit weird going from scientific to paranormally stuff! Everybody is raving about Luther, may have to watch it!

Coming up to my fertile window thank god, its dragging this month, i've been super excited about actually pinpointing ovulation that I cant wait for it to happen, never mind catching the little bugger (egg)! Need to bring my feet back down to the ground cos if it doesn't work I will fall hard.

@athena- dh is taking fertilaid. Hope it works!

@rebecca- hoooooooray!

@LSchrader - I did some reading on it too, definitely sounds like the EPO is the cause of your irregular period. That's good to know, hopefully taking it on CD1 in the future will eliminate the disruption.

@athena - It's lovely to see all those lines!

@rebecca - 905! Hooray! I know it's still super early, but I'm glad those numbers are rising as they should.

@Bean - Luther is amazing! Aw, I'm sad you couldn't get into Fringe. Ugh, yes, I definitely look pregnant from the bloat. :-P I hope you can keep the expectations in check, it's no fun to have a big let down. :( When I have a minute, I will share my cheat sheet for grocery shopping according to cycle phase based on Alisa Vitti's book!

I know skyline I can't stop peeing on them to see the line. :) I have an appt with my obgyn next Wednesday. Yay!!!

@athena - Yay! I hope your appointment goes well!

AFM - I heard back on my labs today, everything was normal except I'm boarder line low on Vitamin D which wasn't a surprise, I haven't been taking it for very long and she said I needed to be taking more than I was, so that was good to know. That was my first physical exam, it was nice getting a clean bill of health, I bet you it wouldn't have been the case a couple if years ago!
