I am actually gonna call today and see if they want me too!! with military I have learned to not just expect things so yah!! did a didgital test yesterday and it said PREGNANT!! My first appointment is March 6 !!! which is completely crazy but I went and got me some of those one a day prenatals...OMG have you seen how big their pills are holy cow!! lol

congrats!!!! that is wonderful news. I talked to my obgyn yesterday about my pre-natals and he said most of them were pretty good. He just said to make sure I didnt have one with too much Vitamin A b/c that has been linked to some birth defects. He also recommended taking fish oil, b/c it can help with the baby's brain development.

I can't imagine waiting until March 6th! I would go crazy with impatience.

I'm so excited for you! now we can be bump buddies! what will this make your due date?

 

[mommypaula]

how much is too much Vitamin A?? now scared lol
The one a day prenatals have omega3 (fish oil in them) so yay!!
Ya March 6 they wont see you at the dr until your atleast 6 weeks which is poo i will be 7 and half at that point so something I gotta deal with!!
My Due date Is OCTOBER 20th ...... which is pretty cool cause halloween (well close) baby!!!

YAY for bump buddies !!!!!!!!!!

I think my due date is October 17th, so that is really close!

I think any pre-natal vitamin should have an OK amount of Vitamin A. I know I read that a pregnant woman should not take a regular multi-vitamin b/c it has too much Vitamin A. You're probably fine if it is made for pre-natal.

SO had a woderful weekend NOT!!! Thought I was having a miscarriage I took a Pregnancy test Sat afternoon cause I just had one left....it was a big fat neg i was like holy wtf is going on!!! about an hour later started spotting!! Called the after hours place they told me to go to ER ....so I went and after being violated 2 times (ya that sucked) and thought of possible ectopic I found out it was actually a Chemical....Damn Dr said all false positves on the tests but luckily thanks to this website I know what a Chemical is so ....Ya I hada chemical it never actually implanted!!

Congrats Lori! Sorry ive been MIA for a while, just finished my last clomid cycle, cd10 ultrasound tomorrow. What are considered mature size follicles?!

 

[lorileigh]

Thanks Cpkmomof2! They told me that a follicle size of anywhere from 20-24 was considered mature and would most likely be released.

They are supposed to grow about 2mm a day, so if yours was on CD10 and you typically Ov on CD14, you would add about 6-8 to your sizes(depending on what time of the day your scan was...)

On my CD10 scan, I had 9 follicles. 5 on the bad side, 4 on the good side

There sizes were:
Left (bad side): 17, 14, 10, 9, 9
Right (good side): 15, 10, 6, 7

----------------
By CD13 and I had my second ultrasound.

On the left side I had a 24 and a 17
On the right side I had a 20

------

Hope that helps! What were your sizes?
