    they've tested 'my thyroid' several times and it always comes back normal. ??

    oh yeah....I've learned ALL about all that stuff...more than I ever thought I would or could or wanted to. A good book is 'taking charge of your fertility' by toni weschler. We know all about abstaining at the right times and timing sex and predicting ovulation and all that. I even own a saliva microscope and a fertility monitor amongst many other books...

    I have NOOOOOO idea of course....but just wanted to chime in and say it definately sounds like it's time to make a switch of Drs. I've learned in dealing with our infertility even that you so often have to be your own advocate. And I refuse...REFUSE to go to a Dr. that treats me like that and would even think to say things like 'you have more time YOU research...

    yeah the urologist recomended several vitamins and things he's been taking for over a year now. One os the vitamin c, and several others they said were good to try and help swimmers....hasn't done anything for us yet though. Course he hasn't had an SA (semen analysis) since then so maybe it has made SOME difference? Not enough apparently though. Anyhoo. ...

    So I'm reading all about people losing hair and teeth and gum issues and skin issues and all kinda of stuff I had never thought about. And I'm wondering too....I haven't had hair loss (then again my hair used to be SOOO thick that if I've lost some maybe I just didn't notice?) but I have noticed a change in my hair these last few/couple years. It used to...

    I've been on metformin/glucophage before too when it was thought I might have pcos (still not for sure but checking out other things now) so I know what kind of pills you're talking about- those are the kind that should NOT come out whole. They're large and very...well the consistency of asprin or something...it's not coated or anything like that. AND they...

    oh wow...I was just thinking about this yesterday and wondering if they had tests like this. Interesting. My husband had to do the same thing with urine...had to collect it in a jug over a course of a couple days and take it back to the dr. lab. So when do they like for you to do this test? That's one of my BIGGEST problems is the big d and all those...

    oh really?? I didn't even know you could go independant like that in russia- wonder if you can still?? Hmmm cause that's another detterent (sp? eek) from that country...as it's one of the higher costing ones...close to $30,000 and up from what we've seen so far. Very discouraging. Seems so unfair but that's another post on another board. Male factor...

    oh my goodness...you guys are making me so hungry!!! the chinese stuff- I haven't had that in forever anyway cause as I tell my husband...I like it okay but it doesn't like me....so that's something I've avoided anyway and won't miss. But twinkies and bread.....!!!! It's so hard....I'm new here btw- hi! I'm not diagnosed yet but my mom has all...

    you know I got to thinking.....I actually tried going without dairy for several weeks by the recomendation of my Dr. cause he thought I might be lactose intolerant....but I didn't notice any difference....course that was also a year or two ago. I'll have to give that thought I guess. I LOVE cheese!!!!! Carla- actually our issue is male factor....and...

    NO not cheese!!!!! Oh sadness I hope not. My mom hasn't been able to have dairy for awhile...but then they just told her she can have certain cheese and can make her own yogurt and stuff- something about the cultures. Did I already mention that? I'm so forgetful. So the bacon should have been okay then? I actually just orered a book recomended by...

    I'm SO excited lost is back on!!! I think it was pretty good...a little slow moving sometimes for a season premier maybe? But hey it was LOST and I loved it. the parts with sawyer in the cage trying to get a fish biscuit were my fave too!!! LOL

    Okay....I'm not sure yet that I even have a gluton intolerance or anything but the chances that I have SOME kind of tummy/bowel disorder is very strong as that stuff runs in my family. Actually my mom is being tested right now to see if she has crohn's disease or the ulcerated something rather. She's had gallbladder disease as well. I've had bathroom...

    Hello fellow Kentuckians!!! I'm from Louisville too! I haven't been diagnosed yet with the gluten intolerance but the Dr's said to try the gluten-free diet for about a week and I'm getting ready to do that...just so overwhelming!!! Anyway I had just heard about the group here in louisville and hope to attend a meeting next time. I'll have to look it up and...
