Hi ladies!

Katie - YAY!!!! Sounds like you had a great appointment!! And they are actually doing something NOW rather than just talking which is awesome!! So cool that they will tell you how close to o you are by bloodwork!! So happy everything went so well!!

Nicole - Woohoo!! Good blood test results!! Can't wait to hear how they are doubling on Friday!! And I totally think the high progesterone levels are a sign that this is your sticky bean!! so happy for you!!
Just out of curiosity, did you take your epo from cd1-o or from the end of af-o?

Jil- I cant remember what percentage it was, but a lot of ladies seem to have luck using epo on the very first cycle! (Worked for me on my 1st cycle ttc both times) Just make sure you only take it from either cd1 or end of af until you O... dont wanna take it after o cause it can cause contractions that could cause a m/c. But DEFINITELY worth while trying!

Amber - Good luck with the job, hope you get it!!

Lindsay - Thanks hun! LoL, I keep forgetting that a lot of you ladies havent been around since this threads conception, sorry! BYOB stands for "Bring Your Own Baby" ...not really sure where it came from... this original threads were called something like "AF Christmas Girls" or something to that effect... then we all started talking and somehow ended up with the BYOB thread! Haha!

Bumble - Sorry to hear about your test results... but I hope you enjoy your ttc vacation! Are you gonna go back for your 2nd iui after this next cycle?

AFM - Exhausted and off to bed.

First blood test results already and it's too early in my cycle yet so next blood test on Saturday so hopefully they say to get busy then! So I'm chuffing down the water, epo and robittisen to help as much as possible with my mucus!!

lol so for the first time ever i missed calculating o time and had 3 days of sex for nothing. af is gonna start today 3 days before which means 2 weeks ago i o'd on the thursday nt the sunday and only started having sex friday night,sat,night then sunday morning.ugh what a pain all that work for nothing.. jut dreading the cramps that come with the endo and af, but whatever i have my f.s. app on june 6th so just gonna relax until then... I didn't want a february baby anyways

Katie - Wow! It sounds like everything went really well. I'm glad they are going to be checking you often. FX'd for this cycle!

Aroma - Have you tried opks? I hate when AF comes and you realize you BD'd on the wrong days. Ugh!

Nicole - Yay! Those sound like promising numbers. I've never had early blood test so I'm not sure where they should be, but it sounds like others know.

Snow - I have had ewcm about a week prior to O. It can be confusing, but if you are using opks or charting I would go by those results. I've never tried EPO, but I may start using it if this next cycle doesn't work for us.

AFM - AF is gone and I'm waiting to O. I think it will be next Thursday. We are going to try BDing every other day until I get a pos opk and BD that day as well. Here's to a fun 3 day weekend!

Hello all. I haven't been able to post because work has been crazy. There has been so much going on that I was only able to read the last posts.

Katie - It sounds like you had an awesome appointment. Doesn't it feel great to get such personalized care and feel that you are now somewhat in control?

Snow - I thought that you needed to start taking EPO from the beginning of your cycle but I'm not sure. What I do know is that once you have ovulated you should stop taking it. Charting will help you see that you have ovulated based on the rise of temps due to the release of progesteron (sp?)

AFM - I had awful cramps on Sunday and Monday. It seemed early since AF is not due til Saturday but my temps started to fall so I figure AF is coming. Yesterday my temp was 97.52 and then this morining it was 98.06? I thought yay I'm gonna test but when I peed and wiped (sorry tmi) I saw some bright red blood. I usually spot a couple of days before so I figure here we go. Then a few hours later I went to the washroom and it is brown. I have never had brown spotting before my period and I'm 40. I've had a lot of periods. I'm so hoping that this is good news. Please God?

krunchie29 - yay sounds like your appointment went well and there'll be a little baby on the way for you really soon! My next appointment was on the 2nd of July haha but I got a letter today saying it was now the 31st boo

I had my scan on Tuesday and I don't think it went well. Ths man doing it said he'd send the results to mu consultant and I'll not be getting them til the end of July BUT he did tell Me I have a retroverted/retroflexed uterus (rather than it flopping forward over your bladder mine flops backwards towards my spine. I also have a 'tiny' cyst on my left Ovary and... a Fibroid

Next step is HSG when AF shows her face next week.

Well today my cervix is so high I can't touch it and I have lots of cm that kind of resembles egg whites but it's sticky. If I ovulate today (25th) I'll have a 24 day lp! I'm gonna buy opks on Tuesday I think. I just hope it's not too late.

Sticky mucus is usually infertile

Hello ladies! I don't have time to post individually now. It's 11 pm and I am just getting done packing. We're leaving at 7 am tomorrow to Idaho to visit relatives. It's a 10 hr drive from where we are, so with a 2 1/2 yr old this could be interesting!

Not sure if I'll be online at all while I'm there, so I may not be checking back in until Tuesday.

Good night ladies!

-Nicole

Wow, you can really tell when we are all waiting to O. Not much thread chatter.

I will be entering my fertile time tomorrow and hopefully O on Thursday. Having a 3-day weekend really helps with the BDing. :)

Hope you all have a great Memorial Day weekend! And a good weekend to those who don't have Memorial Day!
