I don't react well to BCPs so they used a "lupron stop protocol" with me - used an OPK to figure out ovulation time. And it worked - I'm 17 weeks along! (it was on my 3rd IVF cycle but on the 2nd nothing grew, never made it to retrieval on that so it became an IUI). Good luck!
I need to get a pedicure but am pregnant and heard the nail fumes can be unhealthy for the unborn baby. I also just don't like the smell of the chemicals. Can anyone recommend a well-ventilated place to get a pedi in the Bethesda/Rockville/Gaithursburg area - or in NW DC?
