Well...
I had my labs drawn today - they were CD3 labs (as in AF is currently here).
So funny...
I think since they KNEW I was on my period, they didn't want to tempt fate, so they made sure they got me in there right away. LOL. I didn't have to wait - AT ALL.

Anyway, the ball is now rolling and I am SO NERVOUS about what these labs are going to say.

Thinking of you today. I'm glad you didn't have to wait, lol!

Beadin! That's great. I was looking at all the options to start looking into and was wondering about the cd3 test but thought we should probably do hubby's testing first. Thinking about that when his new job's insurance kicks in. Anyway- good luck with your testing! Fingers crossed for lots of happy healthy little eggies!

Yesterday I had some yellow EWCM when I wiped throughout the day. Now I am just wondering if I ovulated after all!! Anyone get yellow tinged ewcm after ovulation?? Last month it was just creamy.

Navy - I had yellow ewcm and creamy cm almost every day after O. I kept saying to myself, "this is quite strange. I never get yellow cm or any cm for that matter". Rooting for you!

Oh my gosh, Mrs. P and PFP- I jumped on here to post the crappy news that AF showed with a vengeance...but I got a good laugh from you girls! Hahahaha! Pee on anything that moves. That's how I've felt for the last ten days, LOL! Thanks for the cheering up.

Mrs. P, it's all you!! When was your last test??

My plan for tonight is a glass of wine, some cheese, a good movie and comfy pajamas. Then strapping back into my (looser) LE diet, and off to buy some more soy for cd 3-7. Come on, cycle six!

Hitting the dislike button for you craving! I told that witch to stay away. Grrrr!

Kasey - DISLIKE

Beadin - Praying for some good results!

Mrs. P. -

What are cd3 tests? what does the blood work look for?

[cravingsalt]

Ovarian reserve. It looks at your levels of FSH to determine how many good eggs you have left- Apparently the number increases as you age and more stimulation for your eggies to get developing for o. Sound about right, Beadin?

[BeadinMom]

Sounds right to me, Craving...
That's my understanding, too.

We actually did have my DH checked out recently...when I first started swaying a few months ago, his ph was high...it was right when I found GD. I mentioned it was high to Atomic and she told me that I should have him checked out, that it could be an indication of infection - which he is prone to. You should've heard THAT phone call...LOL! He made me call his urologist and tell him that I was checking his ph and found it to be high. LOL!! Grrrrrrrrrrreat!! After a pause, the nurse said, "Umm....you must be in the medical field or something."
Anyway, they thought I was NUTS, but I told them we were trying to conceive and wanted to make sure everything was in working order.
The doctor ended up ordering a Semen Analysis - which turned out to be completely normal, although on the VERY high end....as in, no doubts why we have boys.

So...I know he's not the problem...it's me. I just hope that my anxiety has been keeping me from conceiving and that once I find out everything is normal (which I'm praying that it is) that I'll relax and everything will fall into place with a BFP.

[BeadinMom]

I really am anxious to know what this test reveals...
I hope I don't have to wait until the 25th to find out.

Hahaha! Beadin, what a story. Something to laugh at when you are holding your little bundle and talking about what it took to get there.

I had my hubby checked out when we were taking so long getting pregnant with ds1. He was fine. He was moooore than fine- I forget what his count was but something like 6x’s more (quantity) than what the threshold would be for “enough”. (No wonder we have boys too!) So I was kind of pleased that his output has been less this time around (noticeably). But hopefully he’s not shooting dusty blanks- that won’t sway anything!

What we actually *think* it ended up being was a blocked tube. We did the HSG (dye test) and I saw the dye shoot straight through one tube, but in the other it go to a certain point, slowed down, stopped…then shot right out. The tech said it might’ve been a little blob of mucus. A little mucus blob that gave me heartache for over a year! The next month I got pregnant. Coincidence? I don’t know. I do have two tubes but at the very lease that little blob may’ve cut my chances in half over the long term.

DS1 was 6 months when we pulled the goalie to try for #2. One month later, pregnant! I’m thinking of having another hsg test done to see if we can knock another blob loose… but I’ll give it a couple of months first. This month’s plan: soy and evening primrose oil! And the LE diet, but not going to go overboard with it like I was. Better choices, portion control, that kind of thing- versus the white rice/pasta/parmesan cheese/crystal lite diet.

I guess I’m on cd2 so I’ll stop posting in the 2ww about my stuff.

For all you other ladies waiting- good luck! Warm up those hpt’s for us and get the next bumper crop of bfp’s going! Meet you all in the due date club very soon (positive thinking, positive thinking). Especially you, Mrs. P!
