Any Cysters? TTC #1. Today is CD 1, looking for a buddy!

[Linzalora]

I'm so sorry about the negative. That just downright stinks, but I have a gut feeling we're going to be bump buddies soon!

Happy 10th Anniversary! Florida sounds fun. My family vacationed there when I was little. We did the Disney parks and Panama City Beach, and we made some really happy memories. I hope you have a fabulous time!

 

[BrendaJ]

Thanks for the sentiment! I'm pretty sure I'm out though. I think I'm ready to go to the doctor and take my 2 charts from FF (since that's when I began metformin) so they can do blood work. I'm going to call today and see if I can get in Thursday before I leave. Maybe they can give me something to jump start my period after a pregnancy blood test. FX'd anyway.

Just called my fertility specialist and got an appointment for June 22nd, he is out of town at the moment . I am so sad, but at least I am taking the first step and getting in there.

Enjoy your time off . As soon as I see something different, I will update.

Hey Linzalora, I created a thread for my chart in the TWW section and asked people to check out my chart since I felt like O had not happened for me yet, or maybe it was a later date due to the Neg OPK's.

So, although only one person commented, she thought it was very much a possibility I might have O'd on CD 23 since my temps seemed higher then.

I went back on my chart and read the notes on the one ridiculously high and abnormal temp spike that I had on CD 21. I ended up discarding it because I took it about 1 1/2 hrs earlier than my normal time, I didn't get enough sleep from the nervousness/ excitement for the graduate (I was going to a HS graduation -sister in law)on that day; lo and behold it chaged my CH to CD 23. I feel more confident with this date because I only had received negative OPK's before.

Unfortunately, I cannot know for sure because I stopped taking opk's, I also stopped recording when I BD'd, and EWCM.

This cycle has been the cycle from H-E-L-L! Such a rollercoaster. I am sorry for putting you through this, LOL. So embarrassed. Since my new CH, I am back down to 8 dpo... I still consider this cycle a bust, but it explains why my AF hasn't shown. This is just too much for me to handle. Luckily, I have an appointment to my Fertility Specialist that will put a stop to all this madness.

 

[Linzalora]

Silly goose, don't you worry about me! I look forward to peeking at your chart every day. I've thoroughly enjoyed sharing stories with you, and you are a wonderful friend!

That is very interesting about the later O date... Makes a lot of sense, actually. I have one ovary that is "weaker" than the other, and you might too. That would explain the differences between last cycle and this cycle. I've seen other women's charts that show a similar pattern.

I'm sorry this cycle has been so mean to you. I'm sure the doctor will use the data you've collected, check you over, and give you a good plan to make things easier.

But my fingers are still firmly crossed that you get a surprise BFP! Don't lose hope! You'll have #2 all snuggly in your belly soon! I read Luke chapter 11 last night, and it helped me focus and find some calm.

 

[BrendaJ]

Hey Linza, according to my new CH on FF, today is 10 dpo for me. I tested with FMU and still bfn. I am not counting on a bfp this month, but I am hopeful, lol. Gah, this cycle has been soooo long for me.

One thing I am thankful for is a longer LP! Last month, by this time AF was in town. So I guess that's going good for me .

I leave on vacation tomorrow, and will only take 1 IC test. I am not sure when I will test, but it will probably be at 16 dpo, which is June 17, IF AF doesn't show. I hope not because it would totally ruin my vacation if she shows-- BOOOO. It is what it is! Take Care and will update in a few days!

 

[Linzalora]

Safe travels and have fun!

 

[BrendaJ]

Hey Linzalora, I'm still on vacation but AF decided to come! So it's CD 1 for me. It was a really long cycle for me but I did end up ovulating on CD 23, and my LP went up to 14 days!! That's great for me! On to TTC month 3. Third one's the charm! FX'd . I still have the appt. with my specialist so I'll go from there!

Well, it's been so nice chatting with you! I wish you the VERY best and I hope you have a Happy and Healthy 9 months!! TC Linza! Hugs!!

 

[Linzalora]

Awe, I'm sorry, Brenda.

Praying that you get some answers and a good plan from your doctor, and that I'll see you in the pregnancy forums real soon! Keep me posted!

 

[Linzalora]

Hey Brenda, did you find out anything from the fertility specialist? I hope your trip was a blast in spite of mean AF. Thinking of you!

 

[Linzalora]

I am miscarrying. Going to the doctor tomorrow.

 

[BrendaJ]

I am miscarrying. Going to the doctor tomorrow.

I'm so sorry to hear that Linzalora... I am keeping you in my prayers. I am sorry I didn't get back here sooner, I was counting on getting e-mails from this thread since I was subscribed, but I never received anything.

There are no words to describe the sorrow I feel, I too have experienced the pain of a MC, all I can say is, may God hold you and your husband in a comforting and loving embrace.

As far as the fertility specialist, he said we would start fertility meds my July cycle, if I would have gone sooner, I would've been able to take this past cycle on day 3, but I was on my last day and it was too late. My only problem is, that now that I took my trip, I don't really have the extra money for my meds, and now I might have to reschedule my new appointment till I have the money to purchase them.

For now, I am still taking the metformin, and keeping my FX'd that this is my month without having to purchase fertility meds!

 

[BrendaJ]

I know this is a difficult time, but I want to let you know I am here for you!

 

[Linzalora]

Hey, Brenda, so sorry I've been out of touch. Thank you for your keeping us in your prayers. It's been really rough. I just flew back to the states from Malaysia. I was bleeding very heavily, so the flights were no fun at all. I'm glad to be home, though. Thankfully, the bleeding has tapered off today, and I am physically feeling a million times better. Hopeful that I can move forward and heal now.

I'm sorry you missed this cycle, but your chart looks beautiful! How 'bout that awesome positive OPK?!? Nice! FXed that you won't even need to start the other stuff 'cause you'll get a BFP this time.

Yea, I really hope for a this time, so FX'd. My opk wasn't a true positive, it was very dark, but not as dark (a tad bit lighter than the control, but it could pass as positive at a glance). I'm glad I didn't just rely on opk, because I would've been confused, BBT really just confirmed it for me. I'll attach my opk's, what do you think? At this point I know it's positive, but you can see that it's a tad lighter than the control line. I'll keep you posted as to when I test!

 

[BrendaJ]

Hey Linzalora, I feel so down, so discouraged . My temp dropped dramatically and it's only 5 dpo. I have no clue what it could be, except that my husband left the ceiling fan on at high velocity today... however, this is too much of a drop just to blame it on the ceiling fan. If it would have been later in my dpo, then I could have counted this as implantation, but it's entirely too early. Don't want to kid myself and get false hope. Just a lil down, that is all, wish it could be late at night already so I can go back to sleep and wake up tomorrow for my new temp. Praying that it shoots right back up.

I wouldn't be so down if I had the money for the meds, but I am now seriously considering asking for a small loan for it... I don't know.

 

[Linzalora]

Ah! The response i wrote yesterday never made it on here! Ugh.

Your temps look amazing. That dip could definitely be implantation!!! Don't worry- you look like you're definitely on the right track!

I'm house hopping from relative to relative, in-laws and blood, and I think they might drive me bonkers. I just want to be alone with DH, getting my body and mood back to good. I gained ten pounds with this miscarriage and it makes me feel bad.

 

[BrendaJ]

My temps are better, but still not getting my hopes up especially after last month's emotional roller coaster.

I hope you guys get some much needed alone time. Peace and serenity.

I go back to my specialist tomorrow, I'm going to ask him for a pregnancy blood test before we start meds. I'll update you tomorrow!

 

[BrendaJ]

Hi Linzalora, I went to my specialist and have the orders in for my fertility meds!! I went in for and ultrasound of my ovaries and everything looks good. I asked for a blood pregnancy test and they will be calling me tomorrow. FX'd! My brother will be lending me the funds for the meds and I am ever so grateful to him! FX'd I won't need them though. Either way, I am excited!

 

[Linzalora]

Hooray! I'm so glad things are going smoothly. FXed for you!
