ok sooo....

i wake up to a temp of 97.50 and i get really excited! a temp that is with in normal range!!! so i go to the bathroom and im feeling these lil pains in my side...thinking how wonderful! im ovulating!!! well i go pee and when i wipe the tp feels heavy so im thinking ewcm! wronge im bleeding! and the lil pains become really strong cramps!

so i go to the doc and from my charts he decided to do a u/s. on the u/s we found that i have a 13mm follie! he said that it looks like i may have just o'ed! he said my linning looked nice and "bright." when you produce ample p4 your linning gets bright in color on the u/s meaning that it is responding to the p4 and is preparing for implantation.

so just to be sure that i o'd i had a p4 test done...i get the results around 3ish today...and if its high then we are good to go and theres a chance this cy isnt lost! however if its low thats a whole other story!


if the p4 is low then i will go back onto bc today and have the lap procedure done in june. from there we have multiple out comes:

1. if the procedure comes back all clear then once i have a period i can go off bc and i can continue ttc on my own or with aid.

2. if it comes back with being endo. then i will stay on bc untill next year when dh is ready and we will do iui and injectables.

3. if it comes back with cyst or something empeading o'ing then we will try to do what it takes medically to ttc.


the doc said that while he is in there he will remove anything that shouldnt be there and get me all nice and dolled up for ttc!

oh and i forgot... my re got onto me about "playing" with herbs! epo is an estrogen! oops no more experimenting for me!

Tia - I hope that your p4 comes back high today. Will he test again in a week to see if it has gone up? I'm so glad that you are finally able to set up a plan. Best of luck to you sweety. I hope that you get pg before June and don't need the lap but at least you know you will be able to get some answers. Best of luck to you!!!!! You are such a positive and supportive person on here that it only seems fair for you to also have your "Glory Day". I hope that you get your BFP soon!!!

Nice to get the ball rolling on things. You got more guts then me to play with herbs ...lol. I'm nervous about trying that on my own without someone who is educated in that area. But I do think herbs are worth a try.

Good Luck and keep us posted.

What an ordeal!! I know that this is all a rollercoaster of emotions for you, but you are not alone in this. I hope you get the answers you seek, and the peace that can get you through this. Sounds like you will be squeaky clean for ttc'ing though!! That's a plus!!! I hope it happens naturally for you, but i guess the end result will be the same no matter the route!

Well, now you have a plan of action to cover all possible outcomes. I personally like outcome #1. So, have you gotten your results from your p4 test? I really wish nothing but the best for you hon. Even if you don't get the outcome you wish for, at least you know what the next step will be! The lap will definitely get you all cleaned out so a bean can snuggle right in.

I guess I didn't realize that epo is an estrogen either. Would a little extra estrogen really hurt? I take 2000 mg from af to o, then I take flaxseed oil from o to af. Maybe I shouldn't be taking them. Actually, the only reason I started on the epo is to help alleviate pms symptoms. I get pms so bad sometimes and was hoping it would help some.

to you!

my p4 came back at 6.0....

im waiting for the nurse to call back to see what the re plan is.

for me extra estogen is bad...it blocks fsh production. i already lack in that area. shilo ( on another board) had mentioned epo may cause a later o' date...the estrogen in the epo is the cause.

good luck to you sheri! i hope you herbal plan works for you!

I'm not really sure what crosshairs are but you seem happy to have them, so
I have a week left before AF or preggers, so we'll see. I'm not too convinced about this cycle... not alot of sx, but it seems when i have alot of sx, it has always been a BFN, so maybe just the lack is a good thing? I don't know what I'm talking about....I have been very grouchy though, sorry DH!! I'm trying not to focus on the 2WW, yeah right!! I've been taking walks everyday and that seems to calm me a bit, also i could stand to lose a few KWIM??? I don't know when i will test. AF is due around WED of next week so probably TUES. Hope ya'll are well.

Nice crosshairs, Michelle! They're nice pretty solid ones, too! Welcome to the 2ww. I hope this is it for you!

Andrea, I hope af stays away and you get your bfp next week!

Not much going on with me. No sxs what so ever! How am I supposed to obsess? It's still early though. Maybe in a few more days something will happen. Talk to you all soon!

I hope you all are having a fantastic day!

I guess 2ww is coming up soon. Still charting and using my monitor. Neither has given me much indication that I'm coming into the fertile times.

Friday is my appt. with the new doc. I'm also debating to either wait and see what and if AF shows up later this month and see if AF sticks around longer then the what seemed like a 12 hour AF, or just go ahead and make an appt. now

Lots of
