Hey all, when it comes to Omega 3 fatty acids here is some information that may help.

Omega-3 fatty acids can help you with conception in that they may be able help to promote natural ovulation. In particular, some studies suggest that Omega-3 fatty acids can help you to conceive by extending the portion of your cycle in which you are fertile. Certainly the benefits of Omega-3 fatty acids for a woman once she has become pregnant have been sufficiently researched. Evidence suggests that Omega-3 fatty acids can help avoid miscarriage, as well as helping avoid certain birth defects and helping to reduce the risk that the woman will prematurely go into labor.

If youâ??re trying to conceive, give Omega-3 fatty acids a chance to help you conceive.

This is from baby hopes.

Hey ladies! I've been MIA just waiting (yep more waiting hehe) for my appointment with the OB/GYN. My wait is FINALLY over!

So, when i came in the exam room, the nurse asked me a bunch of questions about my cycle, if I'd had any operations or if my husband had. When the doc came in, he read my u/s reports and I learned more from him reading (really fast might I add) those than I learned from my doctor.

So I have a cyst on each side, about 2.3-3 cm in diameter. They have been getting bigger. From the report, he already had a pretty good idea of what could be wrong: either PCOS or endometriosa (don't remember why he called it sa and no sis). He says it's mostly unlikely that I have PCOS because I have a regular period which means I have 70 % chance of ovulatoin every time.

He did an internal exam, collected some cell samples. He then pushed on my tubes and he said they weren't moving much and it hurt when he did it so he suspects my tubes are blocked by the cysts. So, I am to go for blood tests on specific cycle days to check for hormones and other things. From there, he will decide what to do.

I think he mentioned anitbiotics to shrink my cysts but he was talking so fast I didn't quite catch everything! He also mentioned an operation through my belly button to open up my tubes, but I have to get my blood tests results first. So I have to wait yet again, 6-8 weeks before I see him again.

Phew! So that's how my day went. I wish I could just get pg in my own! This is exhausting!

It's edometrioma - not sa

Hi Ladies,

edsangel - Welcome back sweetie! No matter how hard they "try" guys just cant seem to understand what we go through when we m/c... and that for them it may be as simple as moving on and trying again, but for us it is never that easy. Hope you're doing well hun - glad to have to back!

AFM - I'm sick... Stupid dh gave me his stupid cold and now I have a super sore throat and a stuffy/runny nose... lovely.

Hi Ladies,

So I am pretty convinced I O'd yesterday. Not only did most people say my opks were positive, but yesterday afternoon I had the worst cramping I can remember. I've heard your ovulation pains can be worse after a miscarriage, but this was worse than I expected. Have any of you experienced this?

On to the TWW!

I hope everyone is doing well. There hasn't been much chatter on here in a while.

Gummybear- yes I have had more ovulation symptoms since my ectopic in December.

Caved and took my first OPK yesterday, negative! Will probably test everyday from now on as it feeds my poas addiction! Have to pick up some plain Robitussin at the store to see if that helps any this month.

How do you ladies handle and ttc with your significant others? I am starting to get some gripes from DH that I only want to when I am ovulating, which is not completely true we just a lot more during that week. How do ya'll handle it? I'm feeling guilty, but at the same time don't want to hide from him when I'm ovulating as this is both of us making a baby...

Hi everyone!
I've been busy with work so I haven't really had chance to get on. CD10, Still a looong way to go haha about 30 days until my period. And about 10 days til my 'fertile period'.

Jacksonwest - My DH is a bit like a Woman really he only will BD whe he's "in the mood" lol so even if I was ovulating my ass off he wouldn't do 'it'. We are alright though we usually manage to BD about 3 times a week.

gummybear - good luck with your ovulation!

expecting2expect - sorry you've got a cold

2ndbaby2013 - congratulations

edsangel32 - sorry about your loss

1stbabytry - hey your appointment sounds like mine lol I was at the clinic on the 1st. My belly hurt when my doctor pressed on it, I didn't realise that could be the tubes :/ eek. I'm having HSG test in June so hopefully that'll reveal things. GOOD LUCK!

Jackson - I feel the same way. Before, DH and I BD'd a lot more during ovulation and then after that it's about once or twice a week. Last time we BD'd about 5-6 times in a row and DH asked if we could tone it down a bit. Ha! I told him we will just BD when we feel like it and I will take my opks and just BD when I get a positive opk. I think that keeps the pressure off the both of us. The good thing is my DH is very determined to have a baby too so it usually isn't a problem.
