Your blog ...Angela, thanks for stopping by my blog! Your blog is beautiful! It is kinda making me cry actually! Your heartfelt honesty and your story is very touching. I am glad you are trying NaPro! I've heard very good things about them and know a few ppl who have used them. We use the Creighton Model.

I think I was disappointed after my first one, too, that things didn't materialize immediately ;) And I was only 3 months into the journey (didn't go for "infertility," obviously, but for weird bleeding/mucus patterns... but we WERE TTC).<br />The cumulus oopherus as Kaitlin said is evidence of the egg - the egg itself it much too small to see with u/s, but around every egg a "cloud of cells" forms (latin: cumulus oopherus). But it is not always seen. Whenever it is seen on my u/ss I am literally giddy with excitement, though ;)Amy @ This Cross I Embracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04766112822487858490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2510621618501312993.post-77940555629444567322010-06-26T00:03:32.475-04:002010-06-26T00:03:32.475-04:00So glad to have found your site!

It's pretty much the exact same protocol I had (minus the Free Testosterone, DHEAS-I don't know anything about that).<br /><br />The cumulus oophorus is the egg inside of the follicles. Sometimes you can see it on an u/s and sometimes you can't. We never saw one with my study and didn't even see an egg in any of the follicles the month we conceived. So it's not an exact science, but can be helpful if they do find it to put you at ease a bit.<br /><br />The TSH and T3 stuff all has to do with your thyroid. NaPro looks a lot at thyroid levels and has found a correlation between messed up levels and fertility. They will probably look at this a little more in depth than a regular OB.<br /><br />It sounds like having surgery from that doctor would be awesome! I really hope that works out-as it has been key in diagnosing so many problems for many of us.<br /><br />I'm so glad you are going down this road-keep us posted and let us know when you have questions! And Happy Birthday!Kaitlin @ More Like Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02260649249438520187noreply@blogger.com
