happy monday girls!
Sorry for being so MIA all the time on the weekends....
camp - so, so sorry about AF. This last one hit me HARD so I hope it didn't hit you as hard.... though I must say Disney is a great distraction...not to mention beautiful weather! (it's at least much nicer than up here though I shouldn't complain because it really is so mild right now). big hugs
It seems that your O is very regular so if you do O on xmas eve - the day before the the big day to BD so hopefully you can get that in before the craziness sets in!
tex - that REALLY seems like an implant dip to me. I don't want to get your hopes up though but I must say that any time my temp has dropped below coverline, it's never come back up to where the previous temps have been.... FX FX FX!
smille - agreeing with all the other ladies. really seems like it's fine - not only from the lack of dr contact with you but also from what I know about cysts. but I can't blame you for feeling worried - since TTC EVERY little thing sets me off. My headache today has me wondering if I'm sterile so.....
def give them a call for peace of mind
trix - wonder what is up this cycle? so odd! looking like CHs are just around the corner though.... I don't think opks are as reliable as they claim to be! last month was a total wash for me but my temps showed a great O....
TTC - hi!
hope you are holding up okay. So with a D and C you should bleed for a bit afterword - lightly/spotting. I know that you can't use tampons for that blood to avoid infection and the same goes for DTD so I wanna say you can't have sex for about 4 weeks after just to be safe and heal, but after that I think you are all set to begin TTC again. I was told 3 months but they specified that was because my ectopic led me to get methotrexate with is a chemotherapy drug so I think just taking one cycle off will be their recommendation...
drum- LOVE the new pic
how is your TWW???
AFM - so I got the book "taking charge of your fertility" that I keep hearing so much about. It's great - although us gals could write half of it by this point. I've picked up a few new pieces of info and one of them was very big for me. The author writes that if you are charting so that you know exactly when you O and you've timed BD perfectly with no BFP after FOUR months to seek help. She says the year recommendation is for those who don't chart or aren't able to time BDing properly. So I'm just feeling really empowered and even more motivated to finally get a hold of the fertility clinic and I wanted to pass along that tidbit of info!
The clinic ONLY has an answering service - even during regular hours. I hate when places do that. So I've emailed and left a message but haven't heard anything back. I'm sure they are super busy but I'm ready to go! Have my acupuncture consultation tomorrow - want to talk more about it before jumping in. Bought black cohosh, vitex and maca for myself (thus far only SO is taking it) but only started taking the vitex for now. don't want to overdo it.
But bottom line is that I'm kicking a** and taking names. My due date is just around the corner (in fact it should be the day before next AF is due) and I'm not messing around. Taking charge of my fertility!
we got this, ladies!
