The first phase of the menstrual cycle is the
follicular stage. This is the time when the egg is ripening for ovulation. The
follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is a hormone that regulates the growth
and development of eggs in women. FSH is required for ripening of the
follicle, and estrogen production.
Menstruation is caused by the shedding of
the endometrium (uterine lining). When the egg from the last cycle is not
fertilized, estrogen and progesterone levels drop and menses begins. Your

Day 1: December 8, 2002 |

12/8
Cycle Day 1: First day heavy flow. I had a longer luteal
phase last cycle! I used a progesterone cream.
Did you know that stress or illness can delay ovulation, which in turn will
delay the onset of menstruation? That is a very important fact that I recently
learned.

This is my Conception
Plan for this month. I will be taking Clomiphene Citrate on cycle
days 3-7 for Superovulation.
"In women who do ovulate regularly, clomiphene may be used for "superovulation"
where 2 or 3 eggs are produced. This increases the number of "targets"
for the sperm, thereby increasing the chance of pregnancy" ~Epregnancy.com
