Question for you ladies. Has your RE recommended eliminating gluten? Is there research behind it that suggests it's helpful in those who DONT have Celiac? My RE hasn't mentioned it at all but I've heard things here and there.

My first acupuncturist mentioned it within 5 mins of meeting me and berated me when I pushed back a bit. It was the reason I stopped going to her. Not saying she is wrong but her approach rubbed me the wrong way. I did some research after that and didn't see anything convincing. Gluten can cause inflammation in the body so that is the theory behind it but I didn't find anything to support increased pregnancy rates by going gluten free in those without celiac.
So, after testing on Wednesday and getting a negative and feeling completely down in the dumps. I tested this morning and almost completely missed the result!
The tests are positive!!!! Like from stark white 2 days ago to this!!!!! I am terrified still that it is going to fade or not stick. Loss brain is kicking in hard, but for today, I am pregnant! Betas are on Monday and we will know more.

Blah. I'm anxious to call back our RE tomorrow. I had a call with their billing department Friday because apparently our insurance hasn't paid them for our initial visit or my HSG because our insurance fucking SUCKS and can't get their shit together. We are covered and did everything right so they're resubmitting. But from my conversation it sounded like they didn't want to move forward with monitoring THIS upcoming Friday until they get paid so I have to call in the am to see if it's fine that our insurance is resubmitting and we can move forward this week.

Hey, can I ask you guys too...is there any benefit to using like, one of the digital ovulation detectors vs wondfos for a cycle where I'm *hopefully* having ultrasound monitoring?
The last few cycles I haven't gotten a true positive with a wondfo but they have faded in an out enough for me to call it a positive.
AND, if you use the digitals or whatever, what brand or type do you recommend?

I tried using the digital ones (CBE, I think?) with my first monitored cycle but still didn't get a positive, so I finally gave up. It sucks because I have to pay the $150 for the trigger shot every IUI to get the timing right, even though I do O on my own, but never getting a + was starting to get old. My RE did want me to try with the digitals for a few cycles first, just in case those worked better than the Wondfos.

My first monitored cycle the RE advised me to use the CBE digital (NOT the CBE Advanced Digital - he said it's not as reliable). Luckily I also used my cheapies, bc I never got a smiley face on the digital but I did with my cheapie. But he said for many people the experience is the opposite.
