CRC- yup~ a UTI or symptoms of one can be a preggo sign!
I hope it is for you! I think there are a lot of factors to look @ when deciding to get fertility assistance- like what you've been through- how long you've been trying- your age- your cycles, etc. I think a consult never hurts anyone! In January- I just saw my OB who is also a fertility specialist but he only does so much. This time- I am working with an actual fertility specialist!
LittleBird~ you do have to take Clomid in the beginning of a cycle that you know is from AF.. like you could take it on cd2-6,3-7, or 5-9.. those the typical days that it is prescribed. I took it 3-7 when I got preggo in january. I know my doc said the HSG is usually done on a certain cycle day too- but I never had that done and I don't know if other doctors care what cycle it is on. My OB said he typically doesn't do Clomid in the same month than an HSG is done.. but I've seen people who DO have them both done @ the same time so
I'm over in the "assisted conception" threads on here and they are really helpful too if you're looking for some info!
Hanskiz~ you can never have too much ice cream
It's still early so you have plenty of time to BD!
babyhopes2011~
for the positive OPK! I am glad you were checking!!! Now we just need those
to get in there and bring down that egg!
mercedes2010~ are your OPK's getting any darker or are they still really faint?? It can change VERY VERY quickly so just keep on testing my dear!
As for me~ I went in to have my u/s today to check my ovaries and how things are looking- shows what side I will most likely ovulate on.. there were 3 follicles in there (I think that's what they are called!
) but there is one big one leading the pack he said. Typically the goal of when you take Femara is to have MORE so you can release more than one egg to increase the odds. I told him about my hospitalization, pancreatitis, and the meds I am finishing from the rash I got due to a reaction- and like I had read- they actually sometimes prescribe it to help with fertility anyway so he wasn't concerned at all. Things are looking good.. I am glad there are no cysts or anything. I had a corpus luteum cyst when I was pregnant in January and I think it was still hanging around after the miscarriage- so I am glad that is completely gone and no issues there. He guessed that our IUI will be Thursday which was exactly what I predicted. I did an OPK this am and it IS getting darker- so Thursday is for sure my guess!
Oooooh lots of us are coming up into the fertile window and we need to get some back to back BFP reports in here in just a couple of weeks!!!
Oh, and was able to get my
in last night. Wooot Wooot!!!! baby dust!
Lots of baby dust your way!
and strong
