Reassurance over impatience

We've decided to wait on TTC and do the tests that the specialist recommended.

I have to be adament about recording my temperature and have to test for positive ovulation. All tests need to be done within a certain time frame of your cycle. I'm charting on fertilityfriend.com : http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/23bdf2

The first one, Serum Progesterone, is done 8-10 days after your ovulation date.
Second one, endometrial biopsy, is done 6-8 days before your next menses (around the same time as above for me).

Third test, HSG xray, is done 4-5 days after the beginning of your cycle, so most likely will be around early January for me.

Then we're done and can go right ahead and try. However, would need to wait 2 weeks for the results. I have a feeling that will be around or after my next ovulation date. I would hate to miss another cycle, but it also wouldn't make any sense for us to do the tests but not wait for the results before trying again.

So in short, nothing has changed. I will wait until Feb to try to concieve.

Good news is my AF is completely normal. It stopped bleeding in 3 days and spotted for 2. As of Sunday, I've been free of it.
