Does anyone else know??

Good morning girls. I'm having some very light spotting and am on my 4th day of stims. Getting a little worried. Does anyone know if spotting while stimming is normal? I have an appt. on Monday for an U/S follicle count. DH and I had relations yesterday nothing crazy, but spotting started after that. RE never said no relations during stims I'm not sure .

Just a reminder to you all. Dont forget to eat/drink your yogurt when you start your antibiotics. Antibiotcs can cause yeast infections. I started mine today (I usually forget and end up with a yeast infection).

I guess all those years of bad cramping helped me to prepare! The doctor talked to me as he was completing the test. I watched as the dye entered my uterus and my fallopian tubes. He said everything looked perfect! I am on my way to being !!

- I received my "pharmacy in a box" today with all my meds! I can't believe I will be taking all of them but I will do anything! Yeah!!

I'm so happy for you that the HSG wasn't bad at all! And what wonderful news that everything was clear. You are all set! Enjoy those meds!

Hey ladies ~ Hope everyone is having a GREAT weekend! Any exciting plans??? Definitely, Jennifer (Giggles) does!!!! for you! It's awesome that we're getting started!!! We're all on our way to an exciting month and soon we'll all be !

I had my 1st Lupron shot last night, DH was so cute ~ he was acting all "cool" about it, but right afterward, he was like "Did I do it right?" I'm like "yes, you were perfect!" He's like, "I don't want to mess this up!" LOL - it was funny.....

Anyways, all went well! Enjoy the rest of the weekend!
