The RN told me the problems with baths are:

1) hot baths raise your core body temperature beyond embryo tolerance levels--not just hot tubs and saunas, but even a regular hot bath. And I do love my baths very very hot.

2) bacteria or various bath products in the water might wash up inside.

3) toxic tub cleansers might wash up inside.

[TreeFrog7]

So what's the thing about hot baths? I've noticed it mentioned a lot ...

[AliceW]

Goat cheese in ashes? Maybe I'll try that later :) I'm surprised by your dr's caution about progesterone; it seems to be given out so matter-of-factly. I hope the tests give you a comprehensive picture of your insides (literally and figuratively).

Laura: it sounds like your follies are working hard and growing strong. Quality over quantity! :D

Sherri: I'm going to try a little meditation. I usually have my "meditation" time during long, hot baths with foamy herbal bath products, and now that I'm restricted to showers I miss that.

4dp3dt, 7dpo: I feel totally ordinary!

Hi Alice!

Ok, here's my two cents. Three days must be too early to feel any symptoms, right? I don't know for sure, but I'm guessing. So try to just focus on feeling good! And I agree re: not letting the family member get to you, but I want to take it a step farther. Try not to worry that, even if you did let her upset you momentarily, that that has doomed anything! As long as you don't let her keep doing it over and over, I'd say a few moments of anxiety shouldn't make or break this.

Take it easy on yourself! You're doing great! You're doing everything you can and you're handling everything just fine! Minimize the stress the best you can, and that is all you can do! A few times a day, maybe try closing your eyes and taking a few deep breaths and consciously try to slow down your heart rate and keep yourself as calm as possible. Maybe try meditation? (I love when I give advice that I don't even take myself! Lol!) :-)

Praying for a successful outcome for you and sending RSSBD to you and everyone!

:-) Sherri

Alice;  my lovely cat decided to PEE on my DD's bed yesterday!!!  Uggghhhhh  I had to "let it go"  Then this morning my DH was annoyed that I had to go to NP for an US this AM, he was having a moment, & I looked at him &v said "okay, you need to knock it off, & be thankful that YOU'RE NOT a girl"!!!  cuz I'm the one that has to do 99.9% of all this fertility work! Geeeeez, I told him that I was trying really had to not be negative, since I'm over all this right now;< So to NOT add anymore stress on me!  
He of course said "ok, sorry" ;o)

Well, it's a good thing I went this morning,  geeeeez my follies are weird! On Monday I had one @ 13 & 2 @ 10  48 hours later, on the same dosage I had one @ 20 & one @ 16 & one @ 14!  I new something was up last night cuz I've been having my O discomfort, & I stated getting CM yesterday.  So I go back tomorrow AM & I bet I will trigger tomorrow or Friday.
I was HOPING to have 5-6 mature follies this cycle, but I'll take 3 good ones too;)

I really am calm about it all, probably cuz this will be our last try for a while, & we'll do all we can, but it's out of our hands.

Good luck ladies;)

BTW I'm a Brie girls;)  Of course organic & PASTURIZED!

I hope so, because now I'm craving it too!  I love weird cheese.  There was this one I bought once: goat cheese rolled in ashes- sounds strange, but it was yummy!

I saw the new doctor on Monday, but she wouldn't give me a progesterone prescription because, since she doesn't do hospital calls, if I had complications she wouldn't be there which would compromise my level of care.  I felt like saying "I don't care!" but didn't.  So I still have to find a prescription- I feel like a friggin' drug addict or something: I just need a dealer!  The good news is that she's testing my blood for everything under the sun to see why I feel tired and dense a lot of the time.  AND she wrote a prescription for an ultrasound to see why my ovaries ache a lot after ovulation.  So I'll get a lot of good information, a sneak peak at my insides, plus I like her approach- very no nonsense and yet human too.  She recommended an RE in the area for that elusive prescription.  

I'm 7 dpo and being very patient.  

Alice, don't let that family member stress you out!  I've spent a lot of time deflecting other people's negative energy- I just relax and remember it's their problem, not mine, then say something nice but neutral to remind them of that too, like "oh, that's too bad: would you like some help cleaning that up?"  I think it's normal for women to feel like everything is their fault--- but it's not!
