Yay June, welcome back! I was thinking about you and wondering if you were going to come back. Glad you did! I didn't know you couldn't put OPK results in when you're not a paying member of FF - mine is about to expire and I wasn't planning on paying for it. Hmmm, oh well. Keep track of it somewhere and if you have to adjust FF's date then you'll know when to do it. If you go back in one of my previous posts I put some stuff about how OPKs work and when you actually O based on when it detects hormones.

thaele - FF gives you a more "conservative" date for testing when it's not sure what your normal LP length is, cause it doesn't want you to be disappointed. I totally understand that, but I don't blame you for wanting to test earlier, either.
FX = fingers crossed

Heather - don't count your chickens before they hatch (or assume af is coming until she does). But if you are concerned about your LP length, take your charts to your doctor. Yes, shorter than 10 days is considered a "luteal phase defect"... I think I found some info for Tabitha (tguichon - sp?) in another post if you want to look that up. I think there are some "natural" things you can take to help regulate that, but you'll want to know the cause of it before you worry about treatment. I wouldn't try things without talking to your doctor about them first. Vitamin B6 can help, but do NOT take double-doses of prenatal vitamins cause there are things in there that can hurt you if you get too much. If you want to *try* (B6 is really hard to overdose on and it's worth a try), you can just buy B6 tablets from any place that sells vitamins. You have to take the same dosage the entire month to see if that makes a difference.

Lizard - I think the ultrasound results should be ready similar time to the blood. When I had xrays the technician told me it's 48 hours max. My blood work usually gets in next day. Did you book an appointment to go over the results, or they'll call you when they're in?

Ok, I really do need to get off here. I just dropped over $1100 on advertising for my company, so now I need to do some work to pay for it!!!!
See you all after the weekend, hope it's a good one for all of you!

Melissa

PS - Lizzie, I cleaned out my inbox.

Melissa,

I'm very sorry to hear everything that's going on right now.  My thoughts and prayers are with you.

We are away from home since Friday night.  I forgot mythermometer so that sucks I have no idea....  The brownish CM i was have Thur and Fri has seemed to disappear and turn back to regular CM...  I have had some cramping so I don't know but AF has decided to take her time and come to me differently this month...  This isn't like her.  NO AF today and she is due...

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!
