NSN - Congrats! What a rollercoaster you were on!! Beautful pictures.

Thurl - This cycle I had a BFN still at 11 dpo and did not get my BFP until 13 dpo. I have everything tightly crossed for you!!

Lexi - what great bump pics! You do look like you have a little cantaloupe in there!!

 

[monro84]

Thurl--FX for you hope this is it.

Lexi--great bump pic's

I am not sure what is going on. Usually my temp is alot higher than this but I had a postive opk the other day and a big dip and temp rise so I should have O'd. Nothing was wrong w/ progestrone last cycle I actually had test at 21 done and it was 24. However RE gave me some to insert as soon as 4 dpo which is tomorrow but I don't want to waste it if I am not. Can low progestrone affect temp? But even after my later m/c and chems my temp was low but never this low. My boobs were really sore like pregnant sore the day of O and day after now hardly sore at all which is usually a good thing? I am so confused

 

[Emmediva]

Lexi, welcome back! Glad you had a good vacation! Love thebump pics!

Thurl, I think I used FMU when I tested, if you got a faint line on the dip test, it may be the beginning of something!!! How exciting! Try again tomorrow with FMU. Good luck!!! I hope you caught the egg! Temp looks good

NSN, Louis is just gorgeous, can't stop smiling when I see the pic o you and Paul holding him

Monro, it does look like you've O'ed, I bet you'll see the crosshairs on FF tomorrow. My temps have always been low, my pre-O temp is usually in the 96's & post in the 97's.

AFM, my doc told me to take the progesterone supplements through 16 weeks, I ran out Friday so that night was my last day taking them. I had some sharper pain OB my left side today though and am a little worried. I've had what I think to be round ligament pain since 15 weeks, dull pain in my abdomen, but today it was like sharp for a couple seconds. Lexi, I know you stopped progesterone around 14 weeks, did you notice anything after you stopped it?

 

[thurl30]

Thanks everyone

Lexi you look awesome, so exciting

Monro I'm sorry I really don't know anything about progesterone, I have my fingers crossed for you though, are there any environmental factors that could affect your temp?

Emme hope you're ok

I bought a FRER but decided I couldn't wait and I wanted to do it when I got home I had held my wee for 4.5 hours but it was absolutely a bfn. I need some guidance on what I should do now, I have 1 more FRER left, do I use it tomorrow morning or Wednesday morning? If it's totally bfn tonight then is it likely to change between now and 7am tomorrow?

 

[lexi374]

Emme yep i stopped at 14 weeks with no problems or side effects, i have been having stretching pains at the sides recently i think its all fairly normal though from what ive read. I think you should be fine.

Thurl it would be best if you can hold out til wed...... maybe see what your temp does in the morning? Fx for ya x

 

[lexi374]

Monro i agree it looks like you have ovd, see what your temp is tom x

 

[monro84]

Emme--I hope I have cross hairs tomorrow. I would be ok but normally my post O temps are 98.0 and above starting out sometimes they are low starting at 97.7 but usually by now they are 98.0 if not close. RE gave me progestrone to start at 4dpo but don't want to waste if if not 4dpo tomorrow. But that is the only thing I know about progestrone.

Thrul--The only thing I can think of environmental wise is that we just moved to another house but air conditioner is not any different than old house. The only thing different which is not good was that the old house had mold everywhere and this one does not (thank God). We lived at previous place for 8 yrs. I know mold is really dangerouse and it was not good living there but we could not afford anywhere else and when we could buy a house everyone thought there land was made of gold. My dh seems to think that the mold might had been the reason for all the miscarriages. I think on some he might be right but on the one last Aug I think it was the partial septate. I mentioned it to my RE and he said no way to know. I just hope there was no long term damage for living there for 8 yrs.

I would do another dip test before I would do the frer just so I would not waste it. On this last m/c I did not even take a frer untill I had my second beta done. The dip test kept getting darker. Kup fx this is it.


Lexi-thanks I hope I get cross hairs tomorow.

 

[thurl30]

Thanks Monro, the mold sounds horrible thank goodness you have moved now

I don't have anymore dip tests left, I used the last one this morning I will see what my temp does tomorrow and Wednesday and if it goes up more then I will take the FRER. As daft as it sounds I cant even be sure I am post O! will see what happens later in the week.

 

[monro84]

Thrul--That is exactly what I would try to do. Key word try lol. I just ordered 50 wondfo test. I am going to try to hold out testng starting saturday (8 dpo maybe). Do you a have a dollar store or walmart cheapy test around you could go get.

I guess I am going to be starting my progestrone tomorrow

 

[horseypants]

Emmediva, from what i've heard, round ligament pain can be a sharp pain. I hope all's well and I'm sure it is xo

 

[Ladyfog]

Just wanted to pop in and say hi to everyone.

Lexi - love the bump shots - you'll really notice your bump 'popping' over the next few weeks, I noticed a bit difference between 20 and 25 weeks. Glad you had a good holiday in the sunshine too

Nicky, I know it's a little while ago now but sorry about the chemical fingers crossed for some more happy news for you soon.

Emme - round ligament pain can be really sharp! Sometimes they took my breath away as I got bigger. The dull pain will have been your uterus stretching but you also have ligaments that connect to the side and underneath your uterus and as you stretch these will pull. Towards the end it gets more like a stitch as your tummy can't support the weight of your baby so well. All sounds very normal to me

Thurl, FX'd for you this month, as Lexi said wait as long as you can to test again.

Congrats NSN - I'll post in your journal too.

Hope everyone else is well - sorry if I've missed anyone. lots of to everyone who needs it and too.

I'm good and Elsa is doing really well, feeding well and getting bigger by the day! I'm feeding throughout the night so I'm feeling a bit sleep deprived but every now and then I get 4-5 hours sleep in a row and that's heaven! It's amazing how much time everything takes and sometimes I'm feeding every hour so sometimes a whole day can go by and it feels like all I've done is have a baby attached to my boobs! I'm enjoying every minute though and sometimes just look at her with a tear in my eye feeling very lucky indeed.

 

[BeachChica]

Monro - I think progesterone does affect temps somewhat so maybe you will need it. It does look like you O'd but I wait to get the crosshairs before you start it just to be sure. I started mine this time at 5DPO. What form of progesterone are you taking?
Emme - maybe you are just feeling stretching etc...? I think you should be fine coming off the progesterone as your placenta has now taken over.

Thurl - wait until Wednesday and use FMU.

Awww Lady - so glad to hear from you and glad everything is going well! Is Elsa up a lot during the night?

AFM - I am starting to get a bit of insomnia. I usually sleep really well but the last week I have started to get up early in the AM and have had trouble going back to sleep. For the last week it was at about 5:00am but last night it was at 3:30am. I don't know if this is normal or I am just stressed! I have a big exam coming up on the 23rd and then of course being pregnant after 4 losses also has me nervous.

 

[wookie130]

Beach, that's completely normal. Insomnia has always been my first pregnancy symptom, actually.

 

[lexi374]

Hi ladies had my scan this morning, everything looks good measuring spot on, only thing was that i have a low lying placenta so have to back for another scan at 32 weeks but she said 99% of the time it moves out of the way.

Baby had its legs firmly shut but she had another look at the end and we got a quick peek, saw 3 white lines...... so we are team 97% accurate she said but im pretty sure there was no dangly bits lol! x

 

[lexi374]

Beach totally normal i had insomnia too. probably doesnt help that you are under stress as well.

Lady aah bless hope you manage to catch up on sleep soon.

 

[monro84]

Beach--I got my cross hairs today so I started my progestrone it is the cream that you insert it starts with a C like crioson or something like that. RE said to start it at 4dpo so today I am suppoes to be that. I guess I will see if the temps are higher tomrorow. Can't wait to start testing Sat. Oh when I was pregnant I would go to bed early but wake up at 4 or 5 am and could not get back to sleep that was about 5 and 6 wks.

Lexi--congrats that great your having a girl!!!

 

[Emmediva]

Lexi, I am pretty sure it is round ligament pain, I just freaked a little when I felt the sharp pains, since coincidently I'd stopped taking the progesterone supplements so, I went and got another refill I am just doing this week every 2 days and then I'll stop, I'll feel better that way I think. And yay!!! for being team are they doing another ultrasound later just to double check lol. I was undecided about finding out the sex, but as time goes by I am more for it!! Once I hit 7 months (God willing) I can start to buy gender specific items!!

Monro, Yay you have crosshairs, I told ya the progesterone supplements will make your temp higher, but for me it wasn't too much of a difference. I know for others it is... And yeah Mold is not good, although I don't know if it has anything to do with fertility. I'm glad you got out of there.

Thurl, I see your temp dropped a little this morning, I would wait until tomorrow and see if your temp rises before you use the FRER. Sending you lots of baby

Lady, Elsa is just adorable, perfect little lady enjoy the time with your princess, when they are little time flies by so fast.

Beach, insomnia is normal, I've had it off and on with this pregnancy. I am actually starting to get it more as time goes by. Plus starving at midnight, and imagining food is not helping

Nicki, Bumble, Soop, how are you ladies doing? Sending you infinate amounts of baby

Horsey, keep up the temping hope you catch the egg.

Wooks, glad all is going ok.

To anyone I may have missed

AFM, feeling better today since I refilled my progesterone supplements, took one yesterday but won't take another for 2 days. Abdomen pain has actually gotten better, or maybe my mind is playing tricks on me... Boobs on the other hand are throbbing now, I am already a D cup, so kinda worried how much bigger they will get... Oh and areolas have already gotten darker.
I texted my OH this morning and told him to have a nice day that I loved him, and he replied that he loved us lots too. US?! Sounds so nice

 

[thurl30]

Monro I might go and raid the supermarkets if I decide to test again With my temp being so low I'm not going to bother at the moment. Sounds like you are well stocked with tests too

Lady lovely to hear from you, so pleased to hear you are doing well and still on

Beach I have heard insomnia is quite a classic symptom, I think you're doing good What's the exam?


Lexi congrats on team pink Really really pleased for you, such lovely news

Emme thanks for the tips , I was gutted when I saw my temp drop this morning Such a lovely text to get from your DH

Afm I'm totally not believing FF, I don't even think I have O'd, my chart doesn't really convince me, the only significant temp shift I have had is when I was really ill last week I have been getting random sharp kind of pinching pains in my left hip throughout today, could be O day today? ridiculously late though as I'm CD29 today! I don't know what to think

Just came back on here to edit this post, I just went to the loo and there was a bit of pink, I'm guessing af is on her way

 

[monro84]

Emme-- Thanks I hope I caught it this cycle. I am having cramps on and off but can't be implantation maybe the progesterone. I was feeling good about this cycle until my temps remained low so not so sure now but maybe what I need is an unusual cycle to get my stick baby. . I am sure a lot of women have gotten pregnant when there cycle was out of the norm for them. What other symptoms might I experience on progesteron?

Thrul- I think I am good for this month at least maybe next. The only problem is when you test early the test that have dents in the are not good to use so I usually open them and inspect them before I test and if there is a dent I leave it in the package and get another one until I get a noticable bfp then I use the dented ones. So I got a good bit of dented ones left from last month. Hope these are not as dented.
I hate to say this but I think I agree with you that you did not O yet. So you still have a chance did you say opks don't work for you. If they do I would get some of those. The ferning thing even works sorta to.
Sorry your going throught this I hate long cycles and the longest I had was 41 days once. GL FX O is not far off.
