Trying to Get Pregnant

Spotting, spotting, go away!

CD 9 and still spotting.  I called the RE today because I'm worried about my chances of being able to get my ovidrel shot on Saturday.  She didn't sound too concerned but said that it DOES mean my uterine lining isn't building up.  She said it's just due to my low estrogen -- UGR -- and that hopefully it will sort itself out by Saturday.

In the meantime, I have bought two large jugs of POM....and I"m chugging.  COME ON ESTROGEN!

  • Eat eggplant, it is a natural source of estrogen.

    I hope your spotting goes away soon. Hopefully they'll be able to figure you out on Sat if the spotting doesn't stop.

    AH GREAT! I loooove eggplant.  I have googled all sorts of foods that are supposedly rich in estrogen...and I plan to have some "interesting" flavor combos for dinner for the next few nights.

    I didn't know about eggplant.  Interesting.  I was going to say yams, but I think that might be progesterone.

    Yea I hope so also!

    DH was really cute and when I texted yesterday to say that I didn't think "this wkend would be 'our' wkend" he met me at home that night having already made dinner (or bought pre-made food...same thing, right) b/c he knew I was having a bad day.  So cute!

    Yep, yams, eggs, red meat...for progesterone :)

    Estrogen is a little harder...eggplant is really good and I think avocado. Soy is a source of estrogen but doctors DO NOT recommend having too much soy while TTC.

    Ha, yes...I'm just holding my nose...seriously -- I just had 16 oz of it.  (I know you really only "need" 8oz a day...but I figure maybe, the more the better....) And that will be all for the day -- thank God!

    I hope it helps you!  When I drink pom juice, I have to cut it with something because it is too thick. I like to mix it with some Fresca.

    I hope the spotting stops soon!

    That is hardcore!  It does remind me of medicine, so the fact that you are holding your nose to drink it just makes it more medicine-y.  I hope it helps, it seems like you've been through the wringer.
