Michele, Asking us to check our CD is just asking for trouble. Ha.Ha. You put me forward an extra day. Today is 25, but don't bother changing it, tomorrow will most likely be Day 1. NJ was in the 70's today too. Too hot for AF to show. Jessica, Sorry you don't think you got it this month. But it's good that you feel normal. Laurel
I just got the calendar out, I am 11 dpo, should I be expecting AF in 3 days? I normally wouldn't expect her until May 27, but I o'd early do to the IUI. This is all way too confusing, sorry to be a pain Michele, I'm sure you have this all figured out already! When I went to the bathroom this morning, I swear I saw a tinge of pink, so I guess she's gonna save me the guess work and just come on. Who the heck knows. For the most part, I don't have any AF symptoms yet, but it's early.
I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend so far, it's gorgeous here, low 70's, sunny and breezy. About the only good thing about being laid off is NO CLEANING ON SATURDAY'S. It's all done!

Michele...Yes, I take the aspirin from CD1 on...continuously!
And, by the way, I am CD 10. Sorry to be a problem! LOL! I would have redone the list but figured you were still in the time frame that you could just edit the list! Thank You!

Thank you for the info Lisa! Laurel we tried to I'm not all full of stamina though, unless it's O time then I can't help it. When it's time it's time... no doubt it's just so obvious. Still BFN here. I really don't think we got it this month. I feel totally normal. Don't know-- try and keep AF away from us ok? I have to laugh though watch you are the one who gets the BFP!
I found this info and just thought I would share it with you all. Steff is right...alot of OB/GYN and fertility doctors recommend taking one low dose aspirin daily. I had talked with my doc about this on my last visit and he said that he did definitely want me to be taking aspirin to try and help prevent any possible future early loss/M/C. His theory is that it DOES promote the uterine lining.
Just thought I would share!
*********************** The Benefits of Aspirin
Baby aspirin, or low dose aspirin in a dosage of 81mg per tablet, is very beneficial to fertility. There are many other benefits to taking aspirin - such as benefiting the cardiovascular system (because of it's anticoagulative or nonclotting properties), pain reliever (analgesic) and fever reducer. People with heart problems take an aspirin daily, as a precaution to ward off potential heart attacks. If you are allergic to aspirin, have gastrointestinal problems or have problems with your blood clotting, I would suggest not taking it. In fact, anyone interested in beginning aspirin therapy should first seek the advice of their care provider.
You should consider the benefits of aspirin, especially if you have suffered from a miscarriage. But even if you haven't, taking the aspirin can still be beneficial in helping to prevent some future miscarriages. Some miscarriages are caused by a poorly lined uterus. Some are caused from the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies. These are proteins which appear to be related to coagulation problems -which can cause recurrent fetal loss. This happens when there is a disruption in the placental blood flow, due to clotting. The aspirin reduces the risk of clotting.
As for helping with the utering lining, it is believed that aspirin helps with the blood flow to the ovaries and uterus. Though this has not been fully researched, taking an aspirin a day certainly cannot hurt. Because of the benefits listed above to the cardiovascular system, it stands to reason that if it also helps with fertility, why not give it a try? I took aspirin myself for about 6 months after my 2nd chemical pregnancy and quit taking it about 2 weeks after I found out I was pregnant.
Some doctors will okay taking low dose or baby aspirin in pregnancy, though the majority will not. Ask your doctor, as soon as you become pregnant, as to whether or not to continue with the aspirin.
It doesn't matter what brand of aspirin you choose, as long as it has no more than 81 mg per tablet. This will be in either the chewable baby aspirins, or in the adult low dose aspirin. The tablets are very small and easy to swallow. You only need to take one tiny pill per day to reap the benefits. Taking one low dose or baby aspirin (81 mg) a day is a good thing to add to the supplements you are already taking. If you are suspicious about miscarriages, or have suffered from them in the past, ask your doctor about aspirin. It could very well be what the doctor orders.

Chrissy, I'm so sorry. Jessica, I'm only half trying. I POAS this month and BDed when we were supposed to, but my heart really isn't in it. It was so easy 15 years ago. I guess I'm feeling my age and letting fate take over. I don't think I have the stamina as everyone else. My heart breaks for those who are having Clomid side effects, MC, EP, and all the bloodwork. Laurel P.S. When AF arrives tomorrow, I'll keep her in NJ away from you, Donna & Christina.
My heart goes out to you both! I am so sorry for your loss. There are not words to describe nor to comfort. Only I am there if you want or need me to be!
