8 dpo looking for buddies " 4 BFP" "Welcome Jacob "(old thread )

[skittles76]

Hello ladies!!!

Good for you , I hope your doctor agrees with you. Then this month, might be your month. Make that, our month.


For me. Cd 10 and just enjoying the day, still not stressing about ttc. Still drinking the green tea. After hearing so much about the soft cup, I might invest in some this cycle.

 

[mzswizz]

how is everyone?

AFM, im on cd14 today and my temp is at 97.42. About the spotting......it has officially left the building So 13 days of bleeding & spotting. How do i manage sometimes Oh I forgot to tell you ladies that on cd12...i had terrible cramps and i bled heavy with clots for like 30 mins. My mom gave me tylenol and a heating pad and I laid down. After awhile it went back to light bleeding and the cramps subsided. So maybe dh and my theory was right and I do experience early m/c's when i experience long bleeds. This morning was another shocker. DH is surprising me daily now i see...and i like it Well this morning while he was getting ready for work...we started having a conversation like normally but this time HE brought up the whole ttc conversation not me Well this is how the conversation went.

DH: "So what do you want to do until you get fixed?"
Me: (figured out he meant what do I want to do trying wise until i go to the doctor and fix the issue )
DH: (waiting for response)
Me: "Nothing different"
DH: "Well, i know WE can get pregnant. I dont want to keep trying and you keep conceiving and you have to suffer another m/c." (aww )
Me: "Well, I will call up and schedule an appt and we can work from there."
DH: "Well tell him the issue and then if he doesnt prescribe the progesterone...then you tell him what's the problem and have him prescribe it" (does he sound like me or what?! )
Me: "Ok babes will do."
DH: "Ok..dang it im running late for work love you"

So as you see..from what Im use to until now..DH has completely changed. I think what changed him is he finally understands my cycles and listens to me but the major thing is...because i keep suffering from early m/c's and i need progesterone. Just like him..i dont want to go through it again sooo im glad we working on it and if we are right..then that means i have been getting pregnant with no problem like every other month or two months and since my progesterone is low...just havent been able to hold onto it. So we WILL get pregnant before 2012 ends. Thats our goal.

Hello ladies!!!


That's an eye opener for me, because I never had af lasting this long either, 9 days. I am usually a 5 days, with the 5th day no bleeding at all, not even spotting. And just like you, I had cramps on cd 8, also blood clots, which was weird cause I thought af was gone. I might need to also check with my doctor. Thanks for the tip.


CD 12, egg white cervical mucus already. YAY!!! . I drink so much water, it would of been weird if I did not have any mucus . Let the bd start. I am making sure we bd only twice a day, morning and evening. Last cycle we did it too much , we must of drown my cervix, I am giving the little swimmers time to be stronger .

 

[mzswizz]

you're welcome and fxed for you.

AFM, my doc appt is monday @ 10:45am. And dh and I dtd today so im one happy camper

 

[skittles76]

I am running on almost a day without bd, too busy. I can't wait for Dh do get home . He's been running around all day with his cousin. Seriously!!, how long does it take to buy an I pad and to get a hair cut.

Still drink lots of water, and my Cm is still on egg white, thicker. Weird, I still have not fell any pain for ovulation. Any day now.

 

[mzswizz]

I get a pain every now and then but i dont think its due to ov because im still spotting again.

AFM, well cd15 for me. My temps have been pretty stable. Which is good. Still having spotting. Dont know why so will let my doc know on Monday. Yesterday was nice. DH and I went out with my SIL and her two kids for her birthday. We had alot of fun. And just so happens, my snotty boss was there and I didnt even notice. I was telling my SIL about how terrible she was to me etc and then i only noticed her when she was leaving with her family and they were like 2 tables across from us. So hoping she didnt see nor hear me But all was well. Today im off so i get to relax finally. So we shall see how today goes.

 

[HitTheJackpot]

Hello girls!

MzSwizz, so glad you are going to the doc! Hopefully he will be on board with the progesterone and we can get you a BFP!!

Skittles... men are so funny. They say WE take forever when we go shopping, but send them out for something and see how long it takes em! HA!

CD14 for me today and I had my follicle check this morning. I have one on each ovary. I explained to my doctor that I have had a good deal of pain from my left ovary, and when he looked at the follicle, he said "No WONDER you've had pain! That thing is HUGE!!" ahahahah! So, apparently my left ovary is an over-achiever and the follicle is currently at 34mm. My right ovary has one that is 21mm, which I guess is closer to normal

Sooo.... tonight between 8 and 10pm I will administer the Ovidrel shot and at 9:30am on Sunday, I will have my 2nd IUI. And so begins the tww/excercise in patience. On track to poas on the 6th.

 

[mzswizz]

yay hitthejackpot! Cant wait for you to be in the tww. Im on cd15 so we are a day apart from each other. Im just hoping i dont ov before i go see the doc and get the progesterone. Hopefully, it falls into place so we can be expecting a 2013 baby!

 

[skittles76]

Hello ladies !!!

Welcome back HitTheJackpot, good to hear about that follicle. Can't wait for the tww trip.

Cd 13 and still no bd . Dh is too busy with shopping and me before he did. He had his cousins over until past midnight. This morning he woke up too late and I had to get breakfast and lunch ready for him. And to think I have the good cm ready. So tonight, is the night .

 

[mzswizz]

skittles-hopefully you can get some bd in tonight

AFM, today marks cd16 and also the spotting has officially left the building this time. I havent had any pink since last night and dh and i dtd last night and this morning and still no spotting So im happy. Also my temp went up to 97.51 so im assuming that the spotting is officially gone. While i was having spotting, it usually stayed in the 97.40s range the most. Well I work today but I get off early so im happy and then im off from sunday-tuesday I got my doc appt in 2 days so im happy. DH and I even talked about what i should say and everything and when I should say what i think is the issue etc. He gave me some good tips i must say. I dont want to just say in the beginning that its a progesterone issue without letting the doc do all the necessary things to come to that conclusion. Sooo im going to just tell him whats been going on and get his opinion and THEN say well i think its this thats the issue. He probably is going to do bloodwork which I am okay with. As long as i get an answer. Also, if he doesnt prescribe the progesterone, im going to ask him can he prescribe it to me. But we shall see if he does it on his own. Cant believe im on cd16 already. If ov occurs around the same time as last cycle or earlier, then i may ov in 7-9 days Doesnt seem like its going to be coming around so fast. I guess because i have been busy with the spotting and family and work etc that i really didnt pay attention to what cd i am on even though I always type it in. Now i actually paid attention and my cycle is going by rather quickly. In 4 more days, I will be on cd20 already. Cant wait until Monday

 

[skittles76]

Hello girls!!!

Yes Mzswizz, I did make up for the late bd. Oh boy!! I did.

Cd 14, still no ovulation pain, but, lots of egg white mucus. I hope it's a good thing. Since af lasted so long I might be ovulating late.

Four more cycles and I'll definitly be going to see a specialist. I did not want to go after the year mark because I had a rough past year. I think all the stress contributed to the issue of not getting pregnant. So I gave myself the extra few months. I hope I don't get to see that specialist.

 

[mzswizz]

Ugh spotting after sex again! Grrrr

 

[skittles76]

I am sorry too hear Mzswizz, I can't even imagine mine lasting that long. Make sure tomorrow that you remember to tell your doctor about everything. I know when I am at the doctor's office I tend to forget a lot, and I get to be more focus on what the doctor is saying. I am already writing everything that I am going to ask the special when I get to see him. I have been taking notes for the past year. Well I am cuckoo like that .

For me cd 15, still no ovulation pain, but lots of good cm. Let's go , boo oo to the .

Today I had a good day at my convention. As soon as I got home, dh did not even give me time to change my clothes. Me who was thinking that he could not perform because he was suffering from a big migraine all afternoon . I was happily wrong . I hope some of those little swimmers swim north .

 

[mzswizz]

yay for you being able to dtd yesterday. DH and I would've dtd..if we both wasn't tired and if the spotting would've stopped

AFM, today is cd18 and my temp is at 97.42. So the bleeding is still here. Today is my doc appt so I am sooo ready to go. I have printed out my charts and FF gave me free VIP membership trial for 5 days so now when i printed out my charts, it is more detailed so that's good because now I won't have to explain all the symptoms etc that I've been having. I must admit, I am a little nervous which is normal every time I go to the doc because I don't know what to expect. So hopefully all my questions will be answered and I will have prescribed progesterone by the time I leave the doc appt. So we shall see how today goes. DH's grandma had said that she better see a car seat in the backseat of our car soon So dh said well the boss has spoken so we have to make it happen now We both were talking and I think the reason DH really wanted a child all this time is because his grandma when she said that around 2 weeks ago. Hey im happy she said that since it pushed him forward DH wants to bless his grandma with a great grand and I understand. She is a wonderful lady and you can tell she loves us to the death so I have no problem giving her a wonderful gift like that. Well I see Ih ave become long winded Well that's all for now until I update about the doc.

 

[HitTheJackpot]

Good luck with your Dr's appt, Mzswizz! Will be thinking of you and DH today! Let us know what the doc says!

Had my IUI yesterday morning and it all went quite well, I must say. Afterward, I was able to go home and just rest. DP and I cuddled up in bed and just slept for a few hours and let the re-animated little swimmers make their way to the destination(s) (since I had **2** good follicles) Spent the rest of the day just relaxing and making dinner with the partner. What a happy day!!

 

[mzswizz]

Sounds like a lovely day! And 2 follicles woooww what if you get pregnant with twins?! And thanks. Will be updating when I leave the doc!

[HitTheJackpot]

It was very nice... and stress free!

Yesterday my temp was 97.47 and today it was 97.57, so I'm right on target with the trigger shot I took on Friday, so I have no doubt that we caught ovulation. The hard part is just knowing that it is out of my hands entirely now. You all know that feeling too, I'm sure!! I think the TWW was designed for torture

So glad you get to take the improved charts to the doc! That is bound to help! I must say that I am very impressed ... It is wonderful that DH has been so supportive and INVOLVED in so much regarding your fertility! So many women deal with it mainly alone until it's time to bd. Kudos to him! And to YOU! We all have our moments, but you are always upbeat, or at the very least HOPEFUL. That's wonderful! You're an inspiration!

BUT I LOL @ grandma wanting that baby seat! How adoreable is that?? Sounds like DH is even more motivated now!

 

[mzswizz]

Hitthejackpot-fxed for you this cycle.

Hey ladies. DH and I went to my appt. Sorry it took long to reply, i was tired. Well, doc checked my charts and said i have o'd last month and this month it looked like i tried to ov but it didnt happen so i didnt ov yet. He wants us to try naturally for 3 months with opks and then if we dont conceive, when i go back july 23rd...he is ordering a full check on my uterus, fallopian tubes (hsg) and SA for dh and work from there. We bought the cb digi opks, the month supply and i will start testing once the bleeding stops. Also, no progesterone for 3 months because he wants to observe what my body does on its own and then work from there. So let's see what happens.

 

[HitTheJackpot]

MzSwizz, I'm so glad you guys went and have a plan with your doc! I suppose if the next three months will help him understand what is going on better, then it is worth it to keep trying naturally for a while! Hang in there sweets!

For those who temp and understand the patterns... I have a question. Today is 2 dpo/IUI for me and I was perplexed when I took my temp this morning. Now, remember that I am brand new to temping so have little understanding of it yet. Since we went straight into the Clomid/Ovidrel, I didn't have a need to temp previously so this is my first cycle with consistent temperature readings.

So, Sunday (the day of IUI) my temp was 97.56 and Monday it was 97.57 which is approximately .5 higher than the previous week's temps ... so I was certain that we hit O with the IUI, but this morning, temp was 97.98. Does that sound right? I can't see how we could have missed it since we use the trigger shot, but would love some opinions from those with more experience at this than me

Otherwise, the IUI went just fine and I'm on day 2 of my TWW. Another couple that we are very close with are using ICI at home and just had their first try last night, so I have someone to go through the TWW with in person, in addition to all the ladies here! How lucky am I??

 

[skittles76]

Hello ladies!!!

Sorry about the MIA, I was kidnapp yesterday by my neighbor. She just lost her ex to stomach cancer on sunday, and needed somebody to talk and keep her occupy. And now I am heading to Key West for business.

@HitTheJackpot, I am doing the early for you. You go girl with your "2" follicles!!!

@Mzswizz, .
