Quick question, any of you ladies spot or bleed with O? I noticed red on my panties just a bit ago and EWCM, so may that happens on Clomid? And it's a boy full moon tonight I think!!!

LMN7 - I don't think your dh needs to skip breakfast. Mine does but he's been used to doing that for years already because of his busy mornings. The only time he used to eat breakfast was on the weekends but stopped when we started the diet.

Thanks to everyone for your advice, I actually feel so much better today and will most likely attempt in march. My d/h and i had a talk last night lots of tears from me because he just does not get it ( the swaying) He thinks it is so stupid and he is so angry at me for wanting to sway.. He really just wants me to get preg and wanted to try in feb and i some how talked him out of it and so now looks like march it is. He will not help me with my sway at all and i mean NOTHING at all so i am quite upset about it but i am just going to have to get strong and try my best to sway by myself. Its going to be a hard one !!

Pinkin, I told my DH (because he always seems to be away when I need him), that he should just leave some sperm in a cup in the fridge before he goes away and I'll do the rest! Glad you were able to talk to him about it all anyway.

LMN7, it sounds more like a virus to me. It is likely unrelated to anything he is doing toward the sway. He obviously had a very high fever and rigors (shaking) and that can cause delerium and hallucinations. Firstly try some paracetamol to get the poor guys temp down and go from there. If you are worried about low potassium, feel his pulse on the inside of his wrist. With a fever, it is likely to be fast (over 100/min), but that is ok so long as the beats are regular. If his pulse feels slow, then fast, (jumping all over the place), or skipping beats, that can be an indicator of low potassium and/or low magnesium. GL- hope he feels better soon.

AF is starting for me. I will count CD1 as tomorrow (Thurs). Here we go, here we go, here we go...again! Should O somewhere around the 22nd or 23rd, but who knows with these cycles.

KraizyDaizy, I don't get spotting at O although I have heard some women do. I just get it for days before AF starts, I hate it.

It seems to come part and parcel with the universal health care for some reason. Personally, I think that lack of information, and sometimes the long waits to get in for certain procedures are the biggest downfall of our system, BUT, my parents live in the US and I don't think I would sleep at night knowing how much private medical costs Geez, I'd be downright broke right now after the birth of our youngest son if I had to pay for his NICU stay! I actually found it interesting (well, irritating at the time) when my son was in the NICU almost a year ago, that they would do tests on him without consulting me; gave him his first bath without so much as telling me; and not "permitting" me to look at his charts. I personally think we have a right to that info, and it irks me that we can't just see it when we ask, but from what my midwife told me, technically in our system, that information belongs to the government, and we can request it, but it's not just handed over. Weird! I am actually a doula now, and have spent countless hours in the hospital with labouring women, and it never ceases to amaze me how once you get in those doors, the "system" seems to take over, and the choices are less transparent. Wow, that turned out to be quite the rant....LOL! I do love Canada and our healthcare system though, don't get me wrong!!!

I'm a American in the UK who used to work in the healthcare system back home and now work for the NHS. I'm a loud supporter of universal healthcare as a result of the experiences in both and have really caused some noise with family back home if I see them sharing very inaccurate or not factual information about systems that provide healthcare for all, free at the point of service.

WhileI have always been able to ask questions here and was always given a copy of the report from the ultrasound, it could be a type of protocol in place for patient's in Canada, maybe that particular area? Protocol varies widely but it's always in the patient's best interest and not necessarily to withhold information. Possibly to make sure the report is accurate and thoroughly looked over, I.e. no information is shared after a CT/MRI here for clinical reasons as sometimes the answer/diagnosis/findings are not immediately obvious and for the patient it is best to make sure they are given a fully accurate diagnostic result.

YAY YAY YAY !!! cd1 for me !!!!

[suregena]

I wish it was CD1 for me. . I'm wondering if the later this goes on if I will even be able to attempt this month. I have to go to the states the week before Christmas so a baby must be over 6 weeks old and I also have to be well under 36 weeks preggo. I need to do the math to see if attempting this month is even possible... the longer this cycle drags on. Officially 1 week late for AF!

[suregena]

A later AF means a later O which means later in November due date = I might not be able to attempt this month!!! Ughhhhhhhhhh.
