My testing ..
My blood work came back normal.
The dr. said my latest Progesterone trest was well within the normal range.
Im going to give it some more time. I may even take this month off, other issues really need to take precedence in my life right now, no matter how badly I want a baby. I dont knwo yet though.
We are gonna try another 2 cycles and then DH will have the sperm testing done. If thats normal, she will do sonogram, possibly an endo biopsy and if normal procede with IUI.
So I will keep trying during the summer and wish for the best.
It takes a lot out of you.
good news is there is no hormonal issue as far as she feels...and is almost positive ( as I believed as well) that its a cervical issue..either scarring or somethng not allowing CM to produce..etc.
so thanks for listening!

Re: My testing ..
Donna,
I am glad to hear your bloodwork came back normal. Maybe you should have DH get tested sooner...it may be him and you may be wasting your time. I read that 30% of fertility problems are related to the man.
Good luck in whatever you choose.

Re: My testing ..
Donna that is really GOOD news that everything so far is coming back normal!!!
I'm glad you guys are going to TTC again for a couple months and then do more testing if need be.
I KNOW you will get PG soon and have a HH 9 months...I know it TOTALLY S*CKS waiting for it to happen though!
Hang in there - we're here for you!!!

I agree with Gerty...maybe your DH should be tested sooner, even if you take this month off, it might save you from 2 months of disappointing BFN...

Re: My testing ..
For cervical mucus problems, I highly recommend, carrot juice...vitality drink from Trader Joe's, evening primrose oil, lots of water, green tea, and alfalfa. Give it a try. I drank tons of Vitality along with taking the other things and my CM completely changed and was ewcm.

Re: My testing ..
It was tested at exactly 7 dpo. thanfully I didnt go at day 21 but at 7 days past O instead.
It was at 15-16. (mid way)
The Dr also told me to try Flaxseed oil and Evening primrose oil this month. She said it help siwth Cycle length and producing better quality CM.
She said Raspberry something too, but I was having trouble finding that.

Re: My testing ..
15-16 is a great level.....so no progesterone problem for you :) and that also means you definitely ovulate....please try the carrot juice, evening primrose ....lots of water, green tea etc...... if your tubes are clear with the right CM you will probably 'conceive' if your dh.....has good sperm count.

Re: My testing ..
I have also heard that V8's berry blend is good for CM...the diet version, not the regular...I have no idea why....

Re: My testing ..
Donna, I am so happy everything came back normal re: bloodwork, progesterone, etc.. that is WONDERFUL news!
I know things are trying for you right now, so take things day to day and see how you feel about TTC this month ... there is nothing wrong with taking a month off.. OR perhaps just keep on TTC .. whichever you decide, I am here for you sweetie!
I also thank those of you who posted about all the ways to increase CM on this post ... I dont really have a problem with CM BUT it is good to read some of these natural ways to help it along .. thanks to all of those for the advice!
OK sorry to hijack your thread Donna  Again I am very very very HOPEFUL for you and I truly feel that before long, you will be PG
