Aunt Flo Came to Visit -- Damn She's Angry!

Monday, May 11, 2009
filed under: Meredith

Meredith: Well, it happened ... Aunt Flo came to visit and damn is she angry. Hopefully after this month I won't have to deal with that b*@$! anymore.

Thankfully, she came a bit early, which means my husband should be in town to do the deed. Or many deeds, as the case may be. My husband travels a lot with his job. We just went over his traveling schedule and if all goes well, we should have a few days in the ovulation window. He does try his hardest to be here when I need him, so that is pretty good of him. As I only have a few days in the ovulation window, I want to know what has worked well for others. I am an avid online researcher. So if I have a question, I ask the almighty Google. So far, missionary is the position to be in. But, my husband and I are open to suggestions.

Before I jump the gun, or John, rather, I have to take a scary test in another couple of days. It's the First Response Fertility Test. Eeeek! I am so terrified of that test because it determines if you can or cannot have a baby. Seriously ... how can a stick I pee on tell me that? But it does. What happens if it comes out bad? No, no, no ... la la la ... puppies ... bunnies ... babies. I am trying to suppress all of the negativity that enters my head. Everything will turn out great! Or at least that is what I am going to tell myself until I take the test. I will only think good thoughts. Or try, anyway!

I need to take something for my serious cramps before I do any more thinking. Talk to you later!

The First Response Fertility test looks to me like it’s an equivalent of the Day 3 bloodtest for ovarian reserve. Did your doc suggest taking this test? Because from what I’ve been going through (I’m doing my second Clomid Challenge Test this week) one blood test isn’t the answer to anything. Good luck, and don’t panic!

Hey Kit, that is exactly what the First Response Fertility test screens for. I was freaked out about this test because I have had the 3rd day bloodtest before and got a high result for someone of my age. Apparently, this level can fluctuate from month to month. The First Response doctor suggested all of us take this test. You are right though…one test or pee stick test is not the be all end all to anything. Good Luck to you too!
