Oh well, the
showed up bang on schedule at 2.30 this arvo. She does like to show up on time, and I mean within an hour of her ETA! I'm not too upset, well just a tad, but I'm always happy when she shows up when expected. I know I should have waited until tomorrow - that way I wouldn't have wasted a test, but having only done 2 HPT in my life, I don't think I'm totally addicted to POAS - yet.
We/I use the Clearblue Fertility Monitor - as after 19 years mostly on the pill, I didn't have a clue what my cycles were like, or if I even ovulated. I enjoy using it - and then endlessly studying the sticks. I label and keep them, so I can compare one month to the next. Though I only have 2 months worth to compare at the mo. The first month I used it was my anovulatory month/3 weeks, but for research purposes I have kept them too. Luckily I have relatively short cycles, and OV on day 12, so only get through 6 sticks, which is lucky as they're quite expensive!
So onto this month, I will be taking EPO and maybe Robitussin up til OV - the Robitussin will be a new thing this month, I will take Soy Isoflavones from days 3-7, took 100mg last month, might up this to 120mg this time. I take Soy as my GP told me that my body has to push hard to ovulate, so I take the soy as a bit of a booster. I have been taking a B-Complex, but don't really think I need to, so will go back to the women's multi-vit that I have, it still has B6 and 12, but not as much as the complex, and of course our friend the Folic Acid.
I also ordered some clearblue digital pregnancy tests (the ones which tell you how far along you are) from eBay this morning - in the hope I wouldn't need them &/or as a way to ensure AF showed up!
It's still crappy weather outside, so I'm going to make another coffee (de-caf of course), get back under my blanket, keep reading my book and eat a bit of chocolate. I have painted a wall and glossed a door-frame today - so I haven't been totally slovenly today.
Deb111, do you have a list of questions to ask the specialist? I'm trying to think what I'm going to ask when we get our appointment through, but can only come up with "What do we need to do now?", which is a bit vague, but I figure it's their job to devise the best course of action for the best possible outcome.
