2013!!!!! January Testers!(140) (40) BFPs! 9 Angels Come find a Buddy today!!!!

[LilyBump]

I'm so sorry to hear, Nats..I'm afraid to even imagine 1 let alone 5 I hope you figure out what may be wrong and get your sticky bean soon!

MrsMM, I apologize-but could you please change my test date to the 18th? Considering I truly believe that if I did O, then it was mostly likely on the 13th..so it changes FF's prediction of my AF to the 15th. Given my cycles most often range between 29-31 days..it would make the most sense to test on the 18th. We'll see if I even hold out that long though! I guess it will depend on how I'm feeling..I have off of work starting on 5dpo-9dpo so I have a feeling I'm going to become symptom obsessed during that time..


I hope everyone has a good day today! How is everyone feeling?

I am bleeding so ff started me a new chart. Temp went waaay down and that gives me a 8 day annomes reminding me why they said years ago.... " wow if u hadn't concieved 3 times you would be considered infertile" so what do I do now. I'm so upset I can't even tell you how depressing this feels. Well I know u all know but ya... Can I cry now

 

[Tower6]

I have NEVER started early. Like ever. Even after iuds and never having periods I would go right back to 28 days and now this... I'm so sad

I guess I test again the 24th which seems strange but hey throw the name on there and at least I have all u girls to chat with. I guess I can look at my 3 little miracles and think how much MIRACLES they really are

 

[HWPG]

tower! so sorry and many hugs! you have three kids already? squeeze them extra today!

 

[lizlovelust]

so..... I think im about to O! EWCM yesterday and watery cm today! we bded last night, temps real low today too!

 

[ClandestineTX]

Sooo... new cycle is supposed to start today, but my temp rose this morning and I still have sore/sensitive nipples - usually the day a new cycle starts I wake up to find that there's no longer a noticeable sensation present in them. Since FF has no prior LP data on me, it rescheduled my witch's visit for Monday (despite only having 27 and 28 day cycles) after it confirmed ovulation on CD 17. Not sure how optimistic I should be, but not disappointed yet!

Clade - Your chart looks so much like mine! I'm wishing you a whole lot of !! Have you tested yet?

Do you have a link to yours? I've become a chart stalker, love to look!

I've been testing daily since 8-9 DPO - all BFNs, even though I know it's way too early. The cycle I get a BFP, I want to get a negative before a positive so I know I found out as early as possible. We all have our silly things in this ttc journey, right?

I did have serious pinching/ pulling going all off-and-on all day on CD 25, 8 DPO. IF that was implantation-related, the earliest I should get a positive would be tomorrow or Saturday (4-5 days after implantation). FF, after moving my estimated cycle start date to Monday 07 Jan, also added 11 Jan as my test day; however, I'll be continuing to test with FMU every morning until I get a new cycle or a BFP.

Have they tested your thyroid recently? Some women get post-partum thyroiditis and subsequent hypothyroidism and it can cause secondary infertility (infertility after having successful pregnancies). Information on the post-partum bit here: https://thyroid.about.com/cs/pregnancy/a/postpartum.htm

And hypothyroidism here: https://thyroid.about.com/cs/hypothyroidism/a/checklist.htm

If they've checked your TSH level lately, get a copy of the labs to make sure the level is 2.5 or less (what's recommended for women ttc or in their first trimester of pregnancy).

Sorry the 27

My mom has hypothyroidism oh wait I think it's hyperthyroid actually where it looks like she doesn't have one. Soooo I better look into that ASAP

 

[Mrs A]

:wave:ill be testing on jan 10th xx

 

[Stevi11]

Started my 5th round of clomid but first on 150mg, Lastnight. I go in for my HSG test tomorrow. Wish me luck. I'm kinda nervous.

Underactive thyroid would be HYPO. Getting a copy of the labs is a great idea - what some doctors consider 'normal' is often underactive as far as TTC complications go.

I have hypothyroidism. I've had it since I was a kid.
It's easy to test for and easy to treat.

Thyroid disease (hypo or hyper) is inherited a lot. I'm third generation hypothyroid. My grandmother and great aunt suffered the lack of available testing - my grandmother had two MCs at 5 months after she had my mom and my great aunt was never able to have kids (she's now in her 90's). The thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) test is somewhat new (25 years or so) - my mom's thyroid didn't require treatment until she was in her early 40's (after having my brother and I with no problems in her mid-20s), but mine was tanking by the time I was 29 - glad it got caught before I started ttc. It's very treatable. But I've also read that UNTREATED thyroid disease is the #1 cause of fertility issues - at least in the U.S.

tower, i knoww lots of women have had success with vit b complex to help lengthen LP - while i've not had BFP, i have seen an increase in LP since starting the complex, if you have seen this be a problem in the past.

Underactive thyroid would be HYPO. Getting a copy of the labs is a great idea - what some doctors consider 'normal' is often underactive as far as TTC complications go.

Here's actually a page with general information about thyroid levels for pregnancy:
https://thyroid.about.com/od/hormonepregnantmenopause1/ss/pregnancyguide_2.htm

There's a link at the bottom "See a detailed summary of the Guidelines for Hypothyroidism, Hashimoto’s Disease and Pregnancy." That will give you a 30-something page document to show your doc, if necessary. Labs usually consider a level of up to 4 or 5 "normal" but the recommendations for women ttc and in their first trimester are 2.5; and then 3.0 for the second and third trimesters. Fetuses don't have a functional thyroid until nearly the second trimester, so it's an important test - really for anyone ttc - but especially if you have a family history or other symptoms of a thyroid issue.

I have started taking a folic acid and lp has went from 12 days to 16 so I know it works for me and the folic acid 400mg helps promote good eggs.

 

[Beautifullei2]

Stevi- Take some advil before you go so that way you dont feel the cramps as much after. Its not all that bad I promise
Hope all goes well!!!

AFM: af is due at anytime!! had cramps off & on since yesterday but still no sign of her!!! If no AF by saturday then I will test.

 

[hopeforbfp]

Nats I'm so sorry I really do hope you can find some answers. You should ask for progesterone supplements. I know my doc doesn't believe in them but many women on this site have gone to have healthy babies with the help of progesterone.

Junebugs that's funny. I hope your interview goes well. I joke with DH all the time about moving to Canada.

Liz keep the BDing going. This would be another non medicated ovulation for you right? Ill be stalking your temps.

I know nothing about thyroids but can someone tell me what the signs would be to even be concerned that there is a problem. Can fertility issues be the only sign?
