I'm a Canuck Cathlete (from Edmonton) hoping to be one of the lucky 105 going to the road trip!!

Not a Disney question I don't have a Disney question but I have been dying to connect with you in this forum. My co-worker told me it is a good idea to do cardio a few hours after a strength workout. He said the cardio will actually improve the gains made by doing strength. Is that true?

Bethany I am so sorry to hear that!! Are you still doing acupuncture? I know how you feel. I went through so much before I concieved my daughter (now 9 months old). I went to a fertility doctor and took hormone shots in order to get pregnant. I know things will work out for you so take...

Bethany I remember talking to you about your short leutial phase as I had one too. So did acupuncture work for you then? I was SOOOOOOO happy to read that you are pregnant. So happy for you and the rest of your family.

best for legs Jennifer; You are doing so great! Remember that working out is only half of the story. the other half (or perhaps more than half) is what you eat. I had a very hard time losing the last 10 pounds after I had my son and I was working out like a crazy person. Then I started...

LPD Bethany; That sounds great! I too was going to recommend the Clearblue Fertility monitor. It's fool proof and worth the money I think. It recognizes a hormone serge so it did tell me I was ovulating when I wasn't "ovulating well". It would be interesting to see if it tells you that...

LPD Bethany; Oh, that is such great news. The acupuncurist sounds great! I'm sure you will ovulate again. Did she tell you to keep taking your temprature and/or use an ovulation monitor? Just curious. Jackie

LPD Bethany; My GP tested my thyroid, prolactin, testosterone and the first thing the fertility specialist tested was my estrogen and progesterone one week after I ovulated. She actually tested those hormones two seperate times, both one week after I ovulated. From that she learned that my...

LPD Bethany; I also had the dye test done to ensure my tubes were open and not deseased and my husband had the sperm test as well. We are Canadian so these tests didn't cost anything so I just did whatever the Dr. recommended. The doctor tested my estrogen and progesterone 7 days after I...

LPD Hi again Bethany. I forgot to say that I went on Clomid for three months and it didn't work for me. The idea is that Clomid tricks your body into thinking that you aren't making any estrogen and so it makes more thereby increasing the hormones that make you ovulate. So in theory it could...

LPD Hi Bethany; I too thought I had a LPD defect as mine was only 4-7 days long. That was after being on depo then the pill. When I went off the pill I didn't get a period for a long time and when I did it was with a short luteal phase. I bought a fertility monitor which said I was...
