The Ball is Rolling

We have put in a referral for a fertility doctor. I have also started the complicated charted and mapping. I am  testing for lh surges to chart ovulation when we can afford it. The tests in Canada at Walmart are pretty hefty in price. Seven tests for 45 $. If you can predict around when your ovulating its not so bad. Then you only have to use 2 maybe 3 sticks a month. I on the other hand detected a surge on the 10th and 11th of one month- I think that was May when I tried it and now in Sept my surge was detected on the 16th and 17th of the month .HUH. I cant afford to test every day and other methods of detection have also been a little unreliable. HMMM Hopefully the doc will help with all that. I am not good at this, it almost seems like a numbers game. It seems rather confusing to me.

Also I do have to make sure I am ovulating. Just because the lh is detected doesn't always mean you release an egg. My regular doc thinks the prognoses is good now because after Jack was born I started to become very regular. Before Jack was conceived I had light, short periods and sometimes no period at all. We haven't had any success yet though, so maybe the fertility Doctor will find some other problem. Who knows, I'll just have to wait and see.

Love you baby, Jack and Mummy forever

I completely undestand screwed up ovulation cycles. I went through that for so long. No period, or period with no ovulation, or ovulation coming at different times every month. Like you said it gets darn expensive to buy ovulation tests and even more spendy to keep going for u/s to get the follicles looked at.
But I am glad to hear you guys have got the ball rolling and hope things go well.
