Hi All! This week is almost over. Yay!!!!

@Waiting, don't get discouraged just yet. You're not out until AF shows and your symptoms are very promising. I'm keeping you in my prayers.

@Athena, what's in the fertility tea and where do you get it? Best of luck to you this cycle.

AFM, we had our first visit with the fertility doctor today and although it wasn't terribly disappointing I think we have a tough battle ahead of us. Because I'm mid-cycle there wasn't much he could do as far as checking my hormones but he did take a ton of blood to check for genetic defects, etc. He also did a transvaginal ultrasound and apparently my ovary reserve is low, which means that I probably won't be a candidate for IVF. Anyway, DH is dropping his sperm tomorrow morning for the semen analysis and I'm supposed to call him once I get a positive OPK so he can do the next set of tests. All in all, at least we are now on our way to getting some answers.

Baby dust to all!

This is the website. I ordered mine from amazon but you may find it cheaper on ebay. If you have trouble ovulating or irregular cycles it can help with that.

Tara - any new tests? On your question about angry outbursts, I have them a lot, so I know exactly how you feel during and after. I read something at the pharmacy the other day that said outbursts & angry gesturing increase your odds of a heart attack for hours afterwards. I never realized that, it has me worried, and I'm trying to figure out how to stop from doing it. You are under a lot of stress, so it's completely understandable. I wiish I had hints to tell you on how not to have them. Apparently deep breathing and walking away are good places to start.

Athena - I may try the rhodiola, too. I read a lot about studies on it last night, and it may help me, too. What dosage did you start with & what supplier

Took 2 more tests. I walked in on the 4:30 minute mark and saw a definite pink line and ran out to grab my phone. Came back and it was gone. Stupid dye got stuck and finally moved after I saw it. Such a tease. Tests were negative despite shadow lines. I checked my cervix too and it softened over night with lots of creamy cm so I'm 99% sure the witch is bringing me a red christmas gift. I'm doing...ok. Not angry now, just sorta numb. Yesterday was my bat s**t crazy day lol! Dh was super sweet to me last night. Offered to help me with everything to keep calm. Poor guy...think I scared him. I'm keeping myself busy and trying to enjoy Christmas preparations. Not gonna let the devil ruin my Christmas!
Looking at it in a positive way. My babies get to celebrate Christmas in heaven and I'm one cycle closer to bfp. Looking forward to possibility of getting an IUI in march/april. AFTER holidays are over, I'll concentrate on getting my body healthier so treatments are more effective.
Can I get a big group hug?!

*hugs* Tara!

Phat this is the one I'm taking. I can definitely see a difference in my mood.

Tara I'm so sorry hugs!

Athena - thanks! I need a mood booster for sure. Pretty sure AF will be here by tomorrow, and I didn't want her here for Christmas. :(

Af has shown...time for a hotbath and spiked eggnog lol.

@athena, thank you for the information. I will definitely try it next cycle.

@waiting, sorry AF showed. Hugs

Have a good weekend everyone.
