I just saw this on fb and I thought of all of us ladies.

"God will grant you the desires of your heart. But He will do it His way, for His reasons, and in His timing".

This was posted by a fb page called the praying woman. I receive and agree with it for all of us!!!

Thank you MrsWard. That's beautiful, true and much needed today!

Ladies, just left the doctor's office and he had no real answers for me other than my ovaries feel fine and my blood pressure is perfect (90/60) so off to the reproductive endocrinologist/fertility specialist we go. Luckily he is in-network and he will see me on December 19th! I can't wait to get some answers.

Praying4Alit1 - I will be praying for you and that you will get an appt soon with a fertility specialist and that it is in-network. I pray that you will get postitive and hopeful answers. We have our appt on Dec 10th with a fertility specialist. PLEASE keep us in your prayers as well.

Cd15 for me. Just playing the ttw game now. I'm not really sure when I O'd because I don't temp or I'm not doing any o kits right now. I have in the past. My cycles last month was 21 days and it has been in the past but it also has been as long as 29 days. It makes it hard to really pinpoint ovulation.

Hope you all have a WONDERFUL "Hump" day. Literally. LOL!

@MrsWard, LOL. Happy Hump day to you. There won't be any humping going on at home as hubby is at the firehouse until tomorrow morning. I, however, hope the rest of you have a great hump day.

@MrsWard, I have my first consult with the fertility expert on December 19th and yes, he is in-network and has his own in-house IVF Lab. My insurance company pays 100% of treatments but we are capped at $50,000.00. I will keep you posted!

I will be praying for you and all the ladies!

Good morning ladies.

No hump day for me either. Lol cd2 and she is here full force. I'm looking forward to this cycle. My dh has changed his work schedule. He will now be home during the day so we will be able to bd alot more being home with me.

I'm on my way to the gym.

Chat with you guys later.

Hello Ladies!
I am hoping some of you can help me make sense of a few of these medical results.
I had my labs printed out but I am having issues deciphering some .
As far as I can tell these are the most recent labs. I have had the same tests don31.6

e several times.

Day 3 Estradol 38.2
Day 3 FSH
Follitropin 6.7
Lutropin 4.2

Day 10 Estradiol 457.5
Day 10 FSH
Follitropin 9.3
Lutropin 9.8

Day 10 progesterone 1.1

Day 21 Progesterone 31.6

Then I am confused by this statement from my HSG test.

The uterine cavity is mildly capacious, right greater then left. It doe say prompt filling of tubes bilaterraly with prompt free spill .
I had these done over the past 12 months and am just trying to make sure they are all normal. I know my Dr said all tests came back normal but I like to know what normal range really is.

TGIF! I hope everyone is having a good Friday and are getting ready to enjoy the weekend.

@Tigerette, unfortunately, I'm away and only have my iPad with me so it's hard to view a side by side comparison of your test results but from looking at this site, http://www.fertilityplus.com/faq/hormonelevels.html, they do seem normal and your scan is also fine. It means that there's no obstruction in the ovaries. That's the best I can do with my limited resources right now. I hope the other ladies can give you better insight.

AFM, POD11 and AF is going to be here soon as I started spotting this morning.

Happy and blessed day to all!

Two Week Wait Activity List â?? Surviving the Two Week Wait
14 Things to Do when 14 Days Seem Like Forever, by Lynn Steen

As any woman who is trying to get pregnant can tell you, the two weeks from ovulation to the due date for your next period are pure torture. You promise yourself youâ??ll just wait it out, distract yourself with other activities and you wonâ??t even THINK about taking a pregnancy test until youâ??re at least a day overdue. Then something happens â?? your breasts start hurting in a slightly different way than they did before, you get slightly nauseous, you have some spotting, or nothing happens, but you find yourself waking up wishing you could go to sleep again so that it would be another day closer to knowing. You canâ??t think, you canâ??t sleep, you canâ??t work, and you start taking HPTâ??s days before they are even possibly meaningful. You are deep in the abyss of THE TWO-WEEK-WAIT!

In my opinion, itâ??s no use advising women to stop obsessing, itâ??s impossible. Instead, I give you a list of more productive ways to obsess. Please note, however, that there is a limit that each woman must define for herself, between indulging in some baby daydreaming and going overboard. Iâ??ve included some examples below:

1. Take a walk around your neighbourhood and figure out what will be the best route for strolls with the baby. Find areas with nice pavements and easy curbs. Go ahead and daydream. But do NOT buy a stroller for the dog.

2. Clean out your wardrobe to make room for the maternity stuff youâ??ll be buying soon. Try on anything you havenâ??t worn for six months. Yes, if you wish, you may put a pillow in your undies to see what will work as maternity wear. But taking a picture of yourself like that is going too far.

3. Start a journal. Write down everything youâ??re feeling. It will be a great opening chapter for your childâ??s baby book. If you canâ??t put your feelings into words, draw something; try to create a symbol that expresses the frustration youâ??re feeling. Donâ??t get that symbol tattooed on your ankle.

4. Plant a hope garden. Or a hope rosebush. Or a hope citrus tree. You want to grow something inside of you, well start by growing something outside of you. Nurture it. Feed it. Give it water. Talk to it. But do not send out birth announcements.

5. Get better at photography. Really learn how to work all the buttons and settings on your camera. Experiment! If you have a digital camera, get all the downloading and editing stuff worked out. You will be well prepared once you have a baby, and will be able to get some great shots and get them emailed to your family before the childâ??s graduation. Do not take photos of your cervical mucous, even if Toni Weschler begs you.

6. Make an appeal to the committee meeting going on inside you. Sperm, egg, uterus, corpus luteum, progesterone â?? they are in there either making a baby or not. Treat them like any other unruly committee youâ??ve ever addressed. Yes thatâ??s right, go ahead and talk to them. Put your hands on your stomach and tell them how much you respect them. Make your best argument in favor of a baby, and then let them decide. Itâ??s out of your hands. Addressing the committee within earshot of normal people is not recommended.

7. Paint your toenails. Imagine how difficult this will be when you are pregnant. Go shopping for the perfect pink and blue nail polish in preparation for a celebration polish. Alternating colors on the day you find out youâ??re pregnant, or a single color for the day you find out the babyâ??s sex. Donâ??t be tempted to paint a cycle day countdown on your big toes.

8. Make a cup of herbal tea. It is a nice ritual: boiling the water, adding the tea leaves, pouring into a nice china cup, adding some milk or sugar, sipping peacefully. Ahhhh. Thereâ??s nothing that a nice cup of tea wonâ??t help. Yeah right. Well it does kill a little bit of time.

9. Swim laps. Think about the sperm and how they need to swim to your egg. Imagine that you are a sperm, the end of the pool is the egg, then GO, GO, GO! Donâ??t wear a tail or anything. Just imagine it quietly.

10. Make lists. List all the people you will tell when you get pregnant, and in what order. List all the little jobs you need to get done instead of obsessing about this 2WW! List all the healthy activities you intend to do this week. List all the girl and boy names you like. Lists are helpful for all sorts of things, most of all for passing time rather than actually doing something.

11. Create a fertility dance. Choose whatever music speaks to your soul and make up a dance routine as a prayer to the universe for the growth of an embryo. Move your hips, rotate your belly, let your arms flow â?? but close the curtains.

12. Prepare a folic acid feast. Cream of broccoli soup as an entree, followed by spinach lasagne, enriched whole grain garlic bread and frozen orange juice sorbet for dessert. Dedicate the meal to your baby-to-be. Just donâ??t set a highchair at the table in his or her honor.

13. Delegate the burden of the two-week wait. Clearly someone has to worry constantly during this time, but does it have to be you? Divide the days up among your best friends and closest family. On their assigned day they are required to think, wonder, and worry all day about whether you are pregnant or not. At the end of the day they have to call or send you email describing how agonizing it was. Also they have to report to you if they had any â??symptoms,â?? such as sore breasts, excessive urination, nausea, bleeding, fatigueâ?¦ you will be surprised how many people, male and female, have early pregnancy symptoms if they just look for them.

14. Write a list of 14 thin
