Is your baby bed ready?

Trying to figure out if the infertility treatment cycle is proceeding as planned can be arduous. We do get clues. We can look at the estrogen levels, both early and later in the cycle. If they rise quickly to over 150 pmol/l on day three there is a good chance of pregnancy.

Heavy menstrual Bleeding Menstrual Period Norms The menstrual period's normal physiologic function to shed the lining and then prepare the lining for a pregnancy. Thus a sample of the lining under the microsope looks like it has glands within tissue. It’s hard to know if this is a heavy period, or one that is really so heavy that you need treatment without really checking completely with your gyno! Experts have used a number of definitions to determine if the period you are having is too heavy. Your perception is important. The actual amount of blood lost is important, but that can be determined by collecting each pad and weighing them before and after blood collection. So gynos have struggled with how to determine the formal definition of heavy bleeding.
