Well I think I've fully accepted it by now. The bleeding got worse and worse as the day progressed yesterday and today it's very red, thick, and heavy. The pain in my right side is now just a dull ache, which is better. I'm not supposed to work out until the pain and bleeding stop, which is...

Yesterday I noticed pain in my right side, the side that always hurts when I ovulate. It got worse and this morning when I woke up I started bleeding. I took a digital test again and it actually said "not pregnant." So my OB advised me to go to the ER, where they did the blood test. I only have...

Thanks everyone! This is so surreal! I love how excited DH is too... I don't know who is happier!:D

I'M PREGNANT!!!!!!!:eek::D:D:D I honestly wasn't sure if this day would come. DH and I are beyond thrilled. Now I'm afraid to breathe wrong for fear it won't stick. Maybe I'll stop doing the HiIt workouts, just in case? I had 40/20 on the agenda for today but I'll probably just do Step...

Tomorrow will be 14 DPO and if I don't get a period by then I'll test again. My longest luteal phase length has been 11 days so I'm cautiously hopeful...but it feels like I can bleed at any time. Sissy, DH and I DID see a faint line on the Equate brand of First Response...but then I bought...

Thanks Kate and Liann. My temp was still high this morning, which will put me at one day longer than my longest luteal phase length if I bleed tomorrow. It's hard not to be hopeful, but I also have to be realistic. I bought some digital tests and will test again in a couple of days if I...

Well I tested this morning and it was negative. I should bleed by tomorrow. There was a very faint line, but I used the cheap Equate brand test and in the past that line was faint but still negative...so I don't have much hope. Jen, did you test again later after 10-11 DPO? If so, when did...

Thanks for your responses. Fertilityfriend.com says that my test date is tomorrow, which is 11 DPO. I guess because I have short luteal phases normally? I'm almost afraid to test since seeing that negative sign always breaks my heart...:( Sissy, did you get a positive result at 10 DPO? If...

Just curious how many DPO you all have waited to take a test. Each day is like AGONY!:p

I wish I knew the answer to your question! We've been trying for 1.5 years but things are unlikely due to my irregular cycles. Like you, I was more regular when I wasn't exercising so much. The other part is body fat - are you too low?

I absolutely LOVE Glee. I was in a show choir in high school, and it's funny how we had some of the sterotypical characters like the know-it-all girl who always tries out for the solos (Rachel) and the nice guy football player who was conflicted with being popular and doing what he loved to do...

Jeanette, I don't have experience with Fertility Blend but I took FertilAid for awhile, which also has Vitex in it. I also tried acupuncture along with chinese herbs. Honestly I don't know if those things did anything for better or for worse - my cycles didn't become any more regular and my...

Melanie, I'm so sorry for your loss, how heartbreaking. I sometimes lurk on the pregnancy forum and was wondering about you. I don't know enough about the progesterone...I would assume it's worth a shot though? I tried acupuncture for 2.5 months to help with my luteal phase defect and 50 day...

My OB said it can take ~3 months for cycles to normalize again after taking BCPs. You can always call your OB if you're still concerned, especially of you are trying to conceive.:)

I can't wait!!! I wonder how many will be there too. Call me selfish but I hope not too many!:p

Yes, she wants me to keep taking my temps and to bring my charts in to each appointment. I also have the ovulation kits but have had a heck of a time reading them because the two lines always look the same to me!:confused: I'm also writing down my diet for a whole week.

Well my first visit with the acupucturist went great! She actually listened to me and completely validated my concerns. She took one look at my BBT charts and said there's something wrong and Clomid wouldn't help because I don't have a long enough luteal phase to build my lining up enough for an...

Melanie2, Thanks so much for the encouragement! I think we'll save our money for now and skip the tests and try the acupuncture for the time being. It's actually cheaper. My first visit with the reproductive endocrinologist was $285.:( Congrats again on your pregnancy, hopefully I'll be...

Jackie, the doctor didn't mention anything about testing my estrogen and progesterone levels 7 days after ovualtion. I wonder if I should've asked about that. He only mentioned the dye test, the sperm analysis, and starting me on Clomid. My biggest thing is, they haven't found what's wrong...

Jackie, Congrats on the birth of your little girl! Did they test certain hormone levels before putting you on the shots? How did they test to know that the eggs weren't mature enough to be fertilized? I ask because the Reproductive Endocrinologist (RE) wasn't going to test any of my hormone...
