33 1/2, ttc #1.

Well I'm totally pissed now... I woke up in the middle of the night covered in blood. Af wasn't due until Sunday! That makes this month an 11 day LP. WTF! I am not impressed with my body at all right now. I'm waiting for lab results on my hormone levels, I think I'm going to email my Dr about this too. Being a woman really sucks!

A sudden af always sucks and catches us off guard. I'm sorry babybutton.

 

[NDurham12]

Well. I took the hsg yesterday and got a call 5 minutes ago from my Dr directly. Failed. Tubes may be blocked. She's referring me to a specialist. Very bummed.

Sorry to hear that, Nona. From my Googling, sometimes those show blocked tubes just because the iodine doesn't go all the way up, and it ends up being fine. FX for you that that's the case. I'm sorry you have to get another HSG and see a specialist!

Thanks for the google Mrshan! I do appreciate it. I got the call 5 minutes before a conference call, so I haven't had time to research anything.

I think there is another test that I can get done, as I don't want to go through that again and it the test itself not work.

You're welcome! From what I read, they just kind of push the fluid up there so that it'll show on the scan and kind of rely on the fact that liquid tends to fill up whatever container it's put in. Like if you're chugging barium to get a GI scan, it's easy because your muscles are designed to move that stuff along. Same with doing a heart scan by putting something radioactive in your blood. I think it's different all up in your hooha: it's not like we really have a mechanism to draw liquid up from our cervix to fallopian tubes. That's why the swimmers have to swim!

button, I am so sorry AF showed up! What is going on with these short LPs? Hopefully you can reach your doctor to find out some more information, including your hormone levels.

NDurham, I chat with a girl from another thread and she recently had the hsg test done with the liquid dye. Not sure all of what is involved but she said everything was clear on the one side. On the other side it was quite painful for a few minutes, it was blocked and the tech gave it more pressure and the liquid pushed through and cleared up some gunk that was blocking her tube. I know absolutely nothing about these tests, but it sounded like hers results were given to her right there while they were doing the test.

Hi Savvy,

I'm not sure. I now have an appt with a fertility specialist to do an ultrasound and make sure things are ok. This does totally suck. Not even interested in Bm. Not to mention that that test has my back hurting like af is coming and my left side feels pressure. My Dr. Said that the right had nothing and the left didn't drain fully.

Guess well see. More waiting.

 

[imphope]

Ok girls. We need a turn of luck here. I am sorry to hear about af Button and Mrshan. And Ndurham, so bummed you have to go through these tests. I guess the bright side is you'll get a new perspective from your new doc/specialist! When is our turn?!!! I hope by the end of this year/beginning of next we can all be holding sweet babes.

I'm just sitting here in the silly TWW. No symptoms. Don't feel anything at all. Nada. Waiting for results from yesterday's labs. My arms are so bruised! The lab tech is so rough. She was digging around in my arm and had to switch to the other one which was already bruised from Friday! Ouch!

I am so sorry you have to go through all of this. Do you have an appointment booked with the fertility specialist?

I hope soon! I had a weird thought today, all of a sudden I was bummed that it was March but my second thought was this time next year I will be holding a baby and my life will be completely changed.

Hey ladies, wth is up lately? We all need some good luck! I had the HSG done, it was very painful, and they told me both of my tubes were wide open, so i can't even imagine how bad that would have hurt if they were blocked!

I got an email from my Dr with my test results. Here they are:
estradiol: 62
prolactin: 14.3
tsh: 1.17
progesterone: 1.01

She said that if my labs were done between CD 19-25, which they were done on CD 23, then my progesterone is very low, indicative of no ovulation. But I got a temp rise for 3 days after O. I emailed back asking her what the plan is, and let her know about my unexpected visitor this morning. I have never had an early period in my life, so I'm flabbergasted. My flow is also so heavy today, which is concerning. I use a divacup and I have been filling it in less than 3 hours, usually I can go 5-6 hrs on my heaviest day. I hate this! If it's not one thing it's another!

 

[savvysaver]

button, I hope that your doctor gets back to you soon about a plan for this cycle. Awful with such a heavy flow...hopefully it gets back to normal soon. We all need a little luck around here this month!

 

[buttonbaby]

Thanks savvy. My dr replied this morning, she's quick. She wants to repeat lab work on CD 19, 21, 23 this month before she deems me as having a medical issue. I think that's a good idea. I find it odd that I'm getting temp rises which confirms O but then having such a low progesterone level that the dr says it's annovulatory. Perhaps I am Oing, just have very low progesterone. Bring on the

Glad that you got a quick reply! I think my cycles might be similar to yours - It seems I O since my temp does go up but I don't think I have enough progesterone to sustain the pregnancy and I have the short LP (9 days). My doc said he would give me something if I was low or even normal. Ugh, this is not so fun...why can't I be one of the "it happened on our first try" girls??

Have a great weekend buttonbaby!

No kidding! I'm so tired of hearing about people's accidental pregnancies!

Have a good weekend!

Hi everyone. Hope you all had a good weekend!

My DH and I finally went on a weekend getaway! It's actually our first time to just go somewhere for a quick trip with no family obligations, no weddings, no agenda at all. It was really nice. I admit I wasn't as relaxed as I hoped because I'm near the end of my TWW and I guess I will know soon if this cycle worked. I really don't feel anything that gives me hope of a BFp and I'm trying to convince myself I can wait a whole extra week to test. I'm torn though. Do I want to wait for AF to confirm it or should I test to see of I'm having another cp. I don't want Togo through the stress of a cp again, but shouldn't I know if it happened again so the doctor has that information? This is really tough. Also, my cousin announced her pregnancy to the family and I am secretly a raging jealous monster but I can't really tell anyone that. And this weekend I am going to my best friend's baby shower where there will be exactly 5 other pregnant friends attending. Isn't it fun that they all get to be pregnant together. Still waiting for last week's progesterone lab results too.

Eeesh this is going to be a hard week.

 

[savvysaver]

imphope, It is nice to just get away sometimes! Glad you had a good weekend. Here are my thoughts on testing early...I had my m/c at 6 weeks and I said I would never test again and just wait for AF or if I was super late then test. I quickly changed my mind, if I have another m/c I want to know so I can alert the doctor and hopefully be able to help my situation. If I had a bunch of chemical pregs in a row but never tested then I would just think I couldn't get prego again. Obviously you need to choose for yourself. Just wanted to give you my thoughts. btw I hope neither of us have to go through the pain and loss of another m/c.

I know the feeling...SIL is prego again with #2. Super jealous and my hubby knows it! I told him no more baby news unless he is telling me that I am pregnant!

AFM: No + opk yet, though my lines are getting darker. I am hoping for a + this afternoon! I will find out soon. My temp took a huge drop today too...

 

[savvysaver]

I got my + opk this afternoon!

 

[imphope]

I got my + opk this afternoon!

Yay! It's shark week!!

 

[imphope]

So FF predicts my period to start on Friday, but I feel like AF will get me before that. No spotting yet, but I just feel like she is coming. I'm so bummed. Another month where we did everything 'right' and it probably didn't work. I kind of hope the doctor calls and says there was something abnormal because then we can treat it. If it's just low progesterone, that is easily treated. Right? I hope she calls soon.
