ok, as the january thread reached 1800 posts exactly, well it did at last count, I think it's time we started the February thread. Now February has lots going for it, valentines, extra reasons for BD, it only has 28 days, the average length of a menstral cycle, .. so me thinks feb will be a very positive month for all of us!

Happy BD to all! (((hugs))) xxx

well let's hope that it'll be good news for the pussycat.

Am making appointment to see my GP next week to try and find out why I'm not getting PG. Am sure there's something up especially considering this month's AF was 4 days late and only lasted for a bit over a day, that just can't be normal.

Never been to canada, but heard it's lovely. SIL was talking about emigrating there but they decided not to in the end.

We've just moved here after 8 years in Ireland, should change my name really! I'm Canadian but we're in a different part to where I grew up. It's great to be back though.

We're fine thanks.

Will be in touch.

skerriesmum · 26/01/2006 14:34

Pretty good. Cold and snowy here in Canada. By the way have you or anyone else used cheap OPKs, I bought some off the internet and have no clue how they work. No instructions came with them. One end of the stick says "mark" with a peelable clear plastic bit, and the other end has a green paper tip. I assume I pee on the green bit?

trace2 · 26/01/2006 14:30

hi skerriesmum how are you?

skerriesmum · 26/01/2006 14:29

trace2 · 26/01/2006 13:55

thanks it dont make ant sence to me but i am having to fast for them going to check every thing

pussycatmomma · 26/01/2006 13:50

right hun.........if this is first bloodtests you are having, it says this-
"Blood tests will be first investigation if you are having problems concieving, and will tell your dr if there are any probslems with
-follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels
-Oestradiol levels
-Luteinizing hormone (LH) levels
-Prolactin levels
-Progesterone
Additional tests can be run on a blood sample to check for:
-full blood count
-thryroid hormone levels
-rubella
-toxoplasmosis
-cmv
-inhibin b

It continues to say -
"Follicle stimulating hormone is produced in the pituitary gland: as its name suggests, it stimulates the follicles to produce oestrogen; it also stimulates the ovary to produce an egg. The oestrogen produced then in turn affects the pituitary gland to slow down the production of FSH. This is called "negative feedback"; the effect keeps the FSH level low under normal circumstances. The lower the FSH level, the better this will be read by your doctor on days 1-3, in conjunction with oestradiol levels; a raised FSH Level is an indication that the ovaries are beginning to struggle, higher levels of FSH are necessary to produce the same effects"

Phew! sorry i am not very fast at typing darling.
Does this help?
Sounds like they are making preliminary tests, and the book also says that lots of women assume they are not ovulating but they really are.

trace2 · 26/01/2006 13:34

ok thank you pussycat

pussycatmomma · 26/01/2006 13:28
