1 DPO, who wants to obsess with me???

I did the cycle I got pregnant with my ds. But neither of these two cycles.
 
I'm doing baby aspirin this cycle!

But given the test results I got back from my physician today, I'm thinking it won't do much for me.

Apparently my estrogen levels are so low, they're at post-menopausal levels! I'm only 31, I shouldn't even be PRE-menopausal, let alone post-menopausal! We're almost at an official PCOS diagnosis, too. I'm just waiting to hear back from the specialist for a for-sure diagnosis.

I'm excited, though. Getting my hormones to normal levels could mean a sticky BFP soon!
 
Sounds like you guys are getting some answers! That must be a relief to be close to a treatment plan!

I have pcos. I haven't had my hormones checked since having ds so I'm not sure what things are doing. If I don't get a sticky bean soon I think we need to retest.
 
man y is having a baby so hard for some people but so easy for others??? I hate how partiers, drug users, and people who just don't give a crap about kids get preggo so easy...and then people like us who loooove babies and just want another one to love soooo bad have such a hard time. its just not fair.

on the bright side, my FRER was darker this morning!!! :happydance:
 
Mondays, then todays...am i crazy or is it darker?? :wacko:

Definitely darker. :)

And on the issue of drug addicts and partiers... that's my younger sister. Partying all the time, smoking pot, drinking in excess. She has FOUR accidental/unplanned babies, two of which were conceived while she was on birth control.

Therefore, they don't understand how come I don't have babies, and I keep getting the "relax and it'll happen" phrase thrown at me. Ugh. So frustrating.
 
I know my fair share of those people too...and they've never suffered a MC or cp or anytbing . They just accidentally get pregnant and bam have a baby. Never even doubt that something would go wrong
 
Right! They get pregnant and it's an automatic baby in nine months. My youngest sister, too. Accidentally pregnant the very first time, not a single issue the whole pregnancy, baby 9mos later. Both sisters were unemployed (by choice, not applying for jobs, no physical limitations preventing them from working), mooching off the system, no reliable partners to help them raise said offspring...

DH and Me? We actually WANT a baby, have a steady income, decent housing, medical insurance, etc. and can't have one. Not even one! Ugh.

But with any luck, I'll get a BFP soon. My mom said yesterday, "Maybe this time next year, I'll be a grandma! Har har." Mom, you have 5 grandchildren already! :dohh:
 
atleast your mom is supportive....all my mom says is
"jesus jami, do you really need anymore kids? im waiting for your brother to finally give me some grandbabies! I hope they have twins."

my brother is 5 years younger than me. but obviously been the fav forever. not his fault. I love him too. but my mom is not shy about showing her favoritism...but the fact is she doesn't take care of my kids, pay my rent, bill, or daycare. infact she lives 9 hours away and sees them about 4 times a year. so I don't think she has any say in how many kids I have. as long as my husband and I support them, were not on gov assistance, and are good parents...I say we can have as many as we damn well please!!!
 
Yeah, have as many as you want! I'm sorry your mom thinks you don't need another one.

I don't have any, though. So that's a little different. Plus, my mom wants me to have girls. There's only one girl and 4 boys, and she thinks I'm supposed to even the score I guess?

Personally, I think 2 children is my magic number. And then when my GYN told me I'd have to have a total hysterectomy as soon as I was done having babies, because my particular type of cancer always comes back at some point... well, 2 is enough, I guess. I'm already risking a re-occurrence of the cancer, since it's been two years since my surgery at this point.

I just don't have the time to have 3 or 4 or more kids! :dohh:
 
I hear ya on the time thing girl. I wanted 4 kids and said id be done by 30. babies in my 20s, raise them in my 30s, then in our 40s my dh and I could travel the world and what not...but at the rate ive been going lately I might not even get my 3rd before im 30
 
Psshh, don't worry about that! People are living longer and longer these days. My mother is in her 50s and looks/feels like she's still in her 40s. Your children don't have to be in their 20s before you can travel with DH, either.

You'll get it, no worries! Don't "borrow trouble," as they say.
 
Id like to have two before 30. Its not looking good either since Ive been trying for two years with no bfp. I turn 27 this year so time is ticking. on a positive note I finally received a faint line on an opk so I may have actually ovulated. today is either the day I ovulated day before or day after.... this tww will feel super long. this is the first one that ive actually looked forward to since I havent ovulated in 18 months.

Yay. :dust:
:dust:
:dust:
:dust:
 
BDB - Do you have pics of your OPK?

If the test line was as dark as the control line, you could be ovulating soon! FX'd that you are this cycle! :)
 
CBD still says 1-2 :growlmad:
this is crap...I even opened the tests "i know I know...big no no", and the one from today had way more dye than the other days. so what gives?? I was sure it was gonna say 2-3 today ](*,)
 
I always hear bad things about the blue dye tests. Dye runs, the scanner reading 'em wrong, false positives due to dye sticking in an evap line, etc.

Don't worry so much about what that digital says on the front, just watch lines getting darker and know that HCG is increasing! :)
 
Yep, I agree with Jami. Don't worry to much about what the digi is saying. Your frer was great.

I really hear you guys on irresponsible people having kids. I just want one more and that seems to be the illusive goal right now.

Although I was thinking about it and my mom had my sister when I was ds age and to be honest I'm glad we didn't get the 2 year age gap I was hoping for. He's really hitting his terrible twos hard.

But I guess no matter the age gap the option is to adjust and make it work right.
 
BDB - Do you have pics of your OPK?

If the test line was as dark as the control line, you could be ovulating soon! FX'd that you are this cycle! :)

no. Now I wish I would have taken a picture of it.....

I will take another test tonight to see if tonight is darker lighter or gone.....

It was about half as dark as the control line.

we bd the day before then all day yesterday my left side hurt so bad I thought I was dying so I took an opk to see if that was it and I saw the line. I also had sticky cm. way more than I EVER have. so Im guessing that my O was yesterday...... bc today the pain has subsided a lot. still tender but not as bad by no means.....
 
BDB - The thing with OPKs is they only indicate ovulation if the test line is as dark as, or darker than, the control. Most women have some kind of line on their OPKs all month long, because the hormone that makes those work never fully leaves your system.

It's entirely possible that you O'd yesterday and maybe you missed seeing that dark test line though! Especially if you had the stretchy, egg white kind of CM at the same time. :) Good luck!
