2%?

Fucking A!!!!!!!!

I read a post last night. Someone mentioned that if you have unexplained infertility, you have a 1-5% chance of conception each month. You know what? I think I could have done without that piece of information!

So, I've been noticing that for the past 6 months or more, I am ovulating about 3 days earlier than I have my whole life.

I just read in another forum that this is a sign of perimenopause.

Anyone know if that is true? My doc said that with perimenopause, my cycles would jump all over the place.
They are not doing that, but there is definately something changing.

OMFG no! Are you serious? I might as well stand outside and wait to get struck by lightening.


Ready, when do you start the Femara?

I'm not sure.

I'm hoping the beginning of January. We'll see how my work schedule looks. I'm not sure if I'll be able to change a bunch of work days to accomodate scans and IUI. We'll have to wait for cd1-then see when cd12, 14, and 15 will fall. If it's a weekend that I'm scheduled to work, then I probably will wait a month.

I really wanted to do it this month. I have a big group of days off. But, they are closed for the holidays.

Although, as it looks, O will be on Christmas Eve. I have to work 12 hours and we usually stay up late to wrap gifts. So, maybe I'll wake up at 5:15 to have sex before I go to work (I hate that), but I don't want to miss my 1-5% chance!

If that's the case, then I will need to bd again on Christmas night after we visit at 2 different houses.


Honestly, I can almost guarantee that it won't work out according to my plan this month.

We will be too tired to fit it in.

Maybe I should just scratch it all and wait til January.

My fertile time will be around Xmas Eve as well; we have family here too, so IDK how this will work.

To be upfront, my doc said the same thing about the early signs of the big M....but, if your LP stays about the same, then he doesn't count it. He told me 6 cycles of an earlier OV, with a different LP....and changes with AF have to be 6 cycles as well.

Despie-so sorry to hear about your Mum in law lung cancer really is an evil disease. Sorry you're feeling rough

D-mon- no I wouldn't be monitored with clomid so not really sure whether to take it or not.

Sorry so many of us are feeling sh**
I think we should tell the 1-2 or 1-5% to go a f*** themselves and try and get some PMA going (hard to do i know) but those percentages what are they really based on? MY FS did stutter and mumble when I asked him to explain to me he research beyind the %'s!! Anyway, we are going to be in the 1-5%!

Seems like there will be a fair amount of over Christmas! FX it results in some lovely

Ready-sorry your dates are a bummer for IUI, fx you get dates sorted around your cycle for Jan/Feb. I reckon you should get loads of before ovulation so you'll have lots of waiting for meet your egg,

Suki, what do you want to do?

Yep, this is me.

Changes started June of 2009 (at the old age of 33!). I told my doc I thought it was perimenopause. I changed my thryoid meds this June, (which really wasn't even out of the normal range, but at least it was something I could work on), and things got better for 4 months. But this month, with a perfectly adjusted thyroid, I spotted again. I was hoping spotting was based on my thyroid. Nope.


Now I'm off to go rock in a corner and suck my thumb.

God knows I choke while typing this, but have you considered TMX instead o femara? We all know I had a very long LP with it and my temps stayed higher.

D-mon- I don't really know what to do with the clomid, for some reason I feel like I shouldn't take it. I don't know if it's because I'm worried it'll thin the lining of my uterus and if we go for IVF I want a good lining! I am a great believer in gut feelings and it doesn't seem right. Maybe I'm just a freak
Take care
