Hi everyone!
Tui - How exciting you told your mother and that she was pleased. It is hard to believe you are already 8 weeks. Still feeling okay other than tired?
Lola - Yes, it does feel nice to have things moving along and know that we might have some answers soon. Hopefully they are good answers or if something is wrong that needs fixing, that it's a simple fix. More waiting to find out though. Lessons in patience. Ugh.
Skweek - Good to hear from you! Definitely don't envy you in trying to sell your house - it can be such a stressful (but sometimes exciting) time but I certainly hope that the viewings lead to an offer soon. I would start TTC if you can convince the DH - like you said, you never know how long it might take to sell the house. Looking for houses is fun, though. I love that part - it's always fun to try to imagine what a place might look like with your stuff in it. Good luck!!!
Gonimi - Glad to hear that things are better with your partner. I asked about your luteal phase length as that part of your cycle tends not to change much. If you know that your luteal phase last cycle was 13 days, then it's likely to be around that same length each time, it might only vary by a day either way - so 12-14 days. So if you had spotting on 9DPO then that very well could be implantation spotting (which I have read about 30% of women have). So maybe things are looking up for you this cycle - today you would be 13DPO, correct? If AF doesn't show by tomorrow - maybe you should test.
The scan or HSG (which stands for hysterosalpingogram) From what I have read, it is an X-ray test that looks at the inside of the uterus and fallopian tubes and the area around them. During a hysterosalpingogram, a dye (contrast material) is put through a thin tube that is put through the vagina and into the uterus. Because the uterus and the fallopian tubes are hooked together, the dye will flow into the fallopian tubes. Pictures are taken using a steady beam of X-ray (fluoroscopy) as the dye passes through the uterus and fallopian tubes. The pictures can show problems such as an injury or abnormal structure of the uterus or fallopian tubes, or a blockage that would prevent an egg moving through a fallopian tube to the uterus. A blockage also could prevent sperm from moving into a fallopian tube and joining (fertilizing) an egg. A hysterosalpingogram also may find problems on the inside of the uterus that prevent a fertilized egg from attaching (implanting) to the uterine wall.
As for the bloodwork - The typical Day 3 Bloods usually refer to the hormones E2, FSH and LH. E2 refers to estrogen, the main female reproductive hormone which is secreted from the ovary. FSH is the acronym for Follicle-Stimulating hormone. This hormone is released from the brain and stimulates the ovary to mature an egg. LH refers to luteinizing hormone, which is integral in the final maturation and release of a mature follicle. We'll see what I hear back.
My regular bloodwork (thyroid was the main thing they were looking at) came back normal so that's good. I won't hear back about my CD3 numbers until tomorrow or Thursday. DH goes in on Thursday for his semen analysis (SA) - which he is not too happy about - but I convinced him it is the only thing he has to do in all of this and he stopped whining about it.
I called the OB/GYN that my doctor recommended and her first available appointment I could accommodate was July 15!! That seems like a lifetime away. I don't really have any other viable options though so I guess I am learning more patience.
let us know how your doctors visit goes.
stays away for you too. I just had bloodwork done too - my results should be in by Wednesday so we can compare notes. 
I did. Two BFN 9but none with morning urine. So I am not clear on whether I am 11 or 12 DPO today. What do you think should i test tomorrow with morning urine? Does anyone actually get positives that early? I continued to think I am not pregnant (even though very intrigued by the blood on 9 DPO) especially since i just got the hallmark of my impeding period, namely the unbeatable urge to buy and immediately consume Haagen Dutch ice cream. It only happens once a month and it's invariably the day before my period. So perhaps i will get it tomorrow we'll see...
