Hi all!
Happy, I'm glad to hear the bleeding stopped. I think its very odd that the doc wouldn't do an hcg test which would give a clearer indication of how far along you might be. I guess you could call another Ob/gyn to ask if that's standard protocol? Or ask a friend? In any case, when you get your first scan, they'll have a much better idea of how far along you are. The bedrest bit sucks. Take good care not up get the flu! Over here they make us all get the flu shot.
Dawnlouise, sorry to hear about the bfn. Hoping you ovulated later than you thought and a bfp is around the corner.
Creative, how are the birthday preparations going? An all natural cycle sounds good. It might at least give a clearer picture as to what's going on. And maybe it's just what you need.
Jchic, let us know how your appointment goes. Your doc seriously sounds amazing. Really hoping you get that bfp this month and won't need iui.
Afm, the witch has left the building. My periods are super short since coming off the pill. 3 days. Is that normal? My appointment is one week from today! Funny story - I had to call over there yesterday to ask if my husband could give his "sample" at our first appointment, as he's very busy at work and would prefer not to have to make a second trip. It was so embarrassing! I had to explain that dh knows from his first marriage that a sample will be needed. Awkward! Unfortunately, it won't work, as he'll need a referral for the SA, and by the time he gets one, the lab will be closed. The receptionist reassured me that that "it doesn't take long," by which she meant that he can get back in for the sample very soon after our first appointment. I thought she meant it doesn't take long to collect the sample, so I said, "believe me, I know it doesn't take long!". We had a good laugh!
