Shadow - bummer. I agree, brined turkey is the best. Why am I not having Turkey this weekend? I may stoop to buying one of those roast things you can stick in the nuker and a can of cranberry jelly. Love that stuff.
Ok, now the progesterone - yeah, what Cejae said. And this to add - if your LP is shortish and you want to lengthen it, try B vitamins, specifically B6. I'm taking a B complex that includes 50 mg of B6 and a bunch of other Bs and it seems to be helping, though something in the 100 mg and up range is better. It's Ok to take two pills of the B50 complex stuff.
Also, you can try a topical progesterone cream, which is what I'm doing this cycle. In either case, whatever you do, plan to keep it up once you get a BFP and you keep taking it through the first trimester, though if you get your levels checked and they're high enough, you can wean off earlier.
Lyndzies: no, it's the perfect time to be implanting right now. That all sounds promising.
Cejae: good idea - I decided it seemed wasteful to drive two hours each way to the beach, so we went for a big walk in the woods with a friend who doesn't get outside much. It was awesome, my dogs are zonked from the exhiliration of being allowed off leash in the woods to chase as many squirrels and hikers as they wanted.
AFM - I tested BFN this morning at 14 DPO, but the pee was not all that concentrated, so I vowed to test again tomorrow, and I'm keeping the progesterone up for now, because not starting CD 1 until as late as possible would be beneficial for me, because I have a trip out of town planned in two weeks, so if I can put AF off by a few days with the progesterone, it will buy me some time.
But, in more recent news. . .my CM looks pink. Not enough to say I'm spotting, but a touch of pink. I'm hoping it's just that cervix is annoyed with me, rather than actual bleeding, but I'm sure thats foolish.

Really the only thing I'm mourning is the lack of a bio-sibling for ds. I don't know what our plan is at the moment. A few calls to make, nurses to talk to, feelings to sort.
spcd. Sorry. It's not a sign of a problem. Frozen embies are sometimes just not as strong.
That's the kind of strength I hope to have come the end of the week.
