Happy New Year! AF found me again. That’s ok. It’s kind of better to end the year not pregnant so that 2011 remains just about that pregnancy. Now, I can look forward to 2012 and a new healthy pregnancy. I saw the First Response Fertility test at the store, and thought I would give it a try. You use it on the 3 day of your cycle, and it is suppose to check your FSH levels. I was nervous it would give me a bad result, but I couldn’t resist knowing. I found the reviews for the test to be mixed.
On day 3, I was thrilled to find normal results. I was relieved. My DH was less impressed. He said “of course you’re fertile- you were pregnant just 7 months ago.” Still. It was nice to get normal results.
I’m still worried about a weak ovulation because my LP is on the short side. I’ve been taking B6, but my LP was only 9 days last cycle. Hopefully, I’ll get lucky with a strong ovulation this cycle. I’ve read that you can take Soy Isoflavones. It’s a supplement/vitamin you can buy at any pharmacy. It’s suppose to act like “clomid.” I’m a little hesitant to do it since all the press about clomid possibly causing birth defects… I don’t think I need to worry about that as well given my history of birth defects. I’m going to leave the soy isoflavones alone for now and just focus on trying to lose weight.
