Nicole2014- I'm sorry you're going through this! Sending all the good and sticky vibes your way!! (((Hugs)))

Big hugs Nicole! And I'm pretty sure that ice cream counts as medicine in this situation. Or at least health food!!

**hugs** Nicole! Hoping your little bean decides to stick around!

Thanks guys.

Speaking of medication...I was looking at my blood work, and there were no proteins or traces of bacteria in my urine, only blood. Buuuut, I was bleeding down there to begin with, so it may not have been a clean catch. Ugh I HATE being on antibiotics if I don't actually need them.

So I just spoke to the nurse at my dr's office. I have not had my progesterone checked! Doesn't it seem like that would be one of the things you'd want to check first?!

Jossph - not necessarily. All depends what they are looking for.

Good luck nicole xx

Yeah the reason my doctor wanted to check my progesterone was because I wasn't ovulating correctly. If you're ovulating regularly then that's probably not the problem. I'm hoping that's not my issue either because I don't want to be put on hormones. We'll see.

I had once progesterone checked by my OBGYN. I did not know at that point when I ovulated so it was done at somewhere between 5-12DPO. It came out to be 11 (I think) so she just told me that I ovulated but because I was getting so much spotting in the cycle and my DH sperm analysis they send us to fertility doctor.
Now we are re-doing that test just to see how my progesterone levels actually look like at particular day.
After that he will know how much Clomid to give me and IUI next month if this month natural BDing did not work.
Screw you endometriosis !!! I will have my baby !!!

I am excited that at 6DPO I am not spotting. At the end of 2013/beginning of 2014 I would start spotting a week straight before AF would show up. It seems that I got a bit better (knock on the wood) that that is the case.
