Ok...so I have a questions for a friend, and I know usually when people say that it's really about themselves, but this really is for a friend. She's 25 and has some fertility problems. I don't know a lot of details, but I know she has endometriosis and her doctor recommends her getting a hysterectomy someday soon, but she says she has taken tests in the past and she does ovulate. She is getting married in two weeks, and really wants a baby. They haven't used protection in two years, but she has never gotten pregnant. (Not that they were really trying, but they weren't trying to prevent it either.) Anyways, she is on day 11 of her cycle that is usually 30 days, and took an at home Clear Blue Easy Ovulation test, and she is freaking out cause only one like appeared, so she says she must not have any LH in her body so maybe she can't get pregnant. Is this true? I guess I should also mention that she took Clomid this cycle as well. From what I read online having one line is fine, and it only should turn to two lines right before you ovulate, but I may be misunderstanding it. She wants me to go out and buy a test to take so we could see my results cause I know I ovulate, but I'm thinking having one line isn't bad. Who's right?? Anyways, any information you can give would be helpful. As for me, I get IUI done this weekend, and I have an ultrasound on Wed to check ovulation!!!! Thanks for your help!

OR

You're right Lindsey. The line appears and gets darker as you approach O. It will get as dark or darker than the control line to be considered positive. I'm not too familiar about treatment for endo, but it's great that she is Oing and still wants to try. Maybe she should get a 2nd opinion. All the best to her and hubby to be. I hope their dream comes true.

And good luck to you as well!

Where did I come from?" the baby asked its mother. She answered, half-crying, half-laughing, and clasping the baby to her breast: "You were hidden in my heart as its desire, my darling. You were in the dolls of all my childhood games. In all my hopes and my loves, in my life, in the life of my mother, and in her mother before her, you have lived."
