    I didn't have Nor E prior to stimulation. So you follow what CHR nurses say and just go back on 9th. There is another thread on Nor E with Prof. Maybe you can find some answers from some sisters there :) Do dye your hair before ER. I regretted not doing so and now I have lots of white hair...

    Hope4bb, I had pre-menstrual like cramp with each 2ww. I took 2 panadol each time it woke me up from sleep and it was alright. Ectopic pregnancy pain doesn't come on so early.

    Princess 14 : during my natural FET, I had LH in blood checked and also scan looking for follicle size & endometrial thickness from d10 of my menses. Prof said that if I did not ovulate by d21 then will abandon natural fet, move onto medicated fet when menses come again. I ovulated on d16-17...

    Good question lainelaine. I have also read the verse and a few others when I could not conceive. I was quoting it back to HIM when I thought I was going to have another chemical pregnancy during the bleeding too.
