Anyone LTTTC Number One?

[wannabeprego]

I always though the bloodwork should be done 7 days post ov to show if you had ovulated since that is when it peaks?

Who knows, I'm just following instructions. They wanted the progesterone checked 7 days after my positive OPK at home.

I attached the pics I took this morning just to prove that I'm not really crazy? Right? You see a smiley face and a dark line right? I'm keeping all the internet cheapie ones for comparison this cycle. I updated DH on the mandatory for the next week because of ambiguous bloodwork results.

Yup, I definatly see the positive OPK and the smiley face so it looks like you ovulated to me...No i dont think you are crazy hun.. You got the proof right there...

I know... that's what I thought. But they said my bloodwork says I'm not because my LH is too low?

 

[jeoestreich]

I have my HSG tomorrow. Excited but kind of nervous.

 

[Dazed]

Your LH could be too low because you could have a short surge. I wonder why it is that we sometimes know more than our docs.

Good luck hun... I have mine on Friday morning along with DH's second SA as well. Please update us and let us girls know how it went for you!!!

How weird?? Sorry hun, But I dont know what is going on...What did the DR tell you when you told them that you got a positive OPK??? I am not sure if it is possible for an OPK to be positive and be different than blood work results???...

Hi ladies!

Dazed, I was mostly talking about Canadians on this thread, I barely have time to catch up here so I don't spend much time on the rest of the site, except when I want to research something (always 2WW related!!)

Welcome Sketchy

Fisher, I hope that you can sort this out, how confusing!

Wannabe, I'm happy for you that your tests are good!

I'm a little upset tonight because we were supposed to have our 1st GP appointment tomorrow, but it got cancelled because DH didn't renew his Medicare card on time. So I told him to put the appointment on my name, I figured either one of us would be fine, but by the time he called back they had given the appointment to someone else and we have to wait a month for the next one . Anyways he's not being to nice about it so I really don't feel like DTD tonight.

Who is in the 2WW at this point?

 

[fisher640]

Jeoestreich & Wannbeprego – good luck with the HSGs, don’t forget to take something for cramps 2hrs before you go and it will be over before you know it. Keep us all posted with how it goes.

Wannabeprego – they know I got the positive on the kit (although I did not force them to look at the pictures like you all ) because that’s why I was getting the blood drawn in the first place – to confirm the home results.

Dazed – It’s probably because we spend infinitely more time fixating on what every little nuance in our bodies could mean for TTC, even people like fertility specialists cannot possibly be thinking about TTC as much as we do on this forum.

I know, it seems bizarre – I almost want to say the bloodwork is wrong? Because everything BUT the bloodwork seems to point to Oing today or in the very near future. EWCM, CP seems open, Crampy pains, positive OPK, sore BBs. (Nice! Big! follicle!!!)

(Although CD 13 would admittedly be early for me)

I would agree with the short surge theory (like maybe it happened over night and the bloodwork caught it just on the way down but it had built up in my urine overnight, but the bloodwork was only an hour after I POAS? I guess I’ll keep track with my temperatures and see what happens. I had crampy O-type pains this afternoon and my BBs are sore now like I O’d but it could all be in my head now that I’ve had the positive OPK. I guess stay tuned and I’ll keep you posted on my temperatures! I would totally be okay with Oing this afternoon since I got to BD twice the last two days and used the softcups both times

Oh and PS:

Since DH tends to fizzle out with on demand after a few days (Oh woe is him) I emphasized when I got home from the scan how there is ONE big follicle and ONE follicle = ONE baby and if he wants to avoid clomid and the possibility of MORE THAN ONE follicle or MORE THAN ONE baby, he needs to get on that. For the next week. With regularity.

 

[Dazed]

Good luck Jeo.

I'm in the TWW, or at least for the next few days. OPKs were a little confusing this month, but I figure I'll have between a 29 and 32 day cycle. The only thing I have right now is my lying tits (as you girls put it).

Fisher, I would go by the OPKs and forget what the doc said. If you keep testing and you get another positive, maybe they were right but I am doubting it. Just keep bding to keep your bases covered.

Haha!! I love how your brain works!!

I have my fingers crossed for you hun!

Thanks Djibou

Fisher it is of course possible that your body geared up to ovulate but then stopped for whatever reason? It is quite common, especially in us LTTCers as stress apparently can only delay ovulation (get so peeved with people telling me it is the stress I bring on myself being the reason I'm not pregnant, so I researched it and if you have confirmed ovulation, no problems!)

Stick with your BBT hun, if that confirms ovulation then your bloods are wrong, if it doesn't then the OPK is. I always use both to ensure my body has done what it should and that we don't stop until it is confirmed!

I never saw the member's names before when viewing Talk about dense

Well I have self induced lying tits Last night I thought 'aye up these are getting a bit sore' carried on over night and then this morning when I reached for something I remembered I did a work out yesterday and it is my pectoral muscles that bloody ache not by boobs

I am also in the 2WW, the is due round about Monday but I can honestly say this isn't our cycle as I am just not feeling it. On the plus side I have pretty much refrained from being TTC obsessed this month which must be a good thing

Am I the only one that is finding it harder and harder to enough during the fertile period? Each month that goes by I seem to be doing less and thinking it is pointless stressing myself out or causing an argument with DH as nothing seems to make a difference anyway

Good Luck to all my 2ww buddies, would be nice to be able to celebrate a xxx

No your not, I find it very difficult to maintain the enthusiasm, i think its because there is the element that if you want to have a chance of a BFP this month you have to have sex during that time and not that you want to have it.

But I agree we've been trying so long now that I don't stress out about it, if we're really too tired then we just leave it, cos all the time we have had sex even when we haven't wanted to it hasn't led to a BFP anyway!

i think i'm just starting my 2WW (still not temping and had what i think was a positive OPK on monday) so good luck to everyone else who's in it already!

[Dazed]

I don't find it hard to get going around the fertile period, but I do get tired of always doing it. DH is always up for it, so he makes sure things get done.

I've also convinced myself that its not going to happen this month, but I have also convinced myself its not going to happend ever. Not a good way to think, but I guess thats what happens when you are LTTTC!

 

[Sticky Beans]

Well we managed pretty much everyother night around our 'fertile' time, thing is I have dif length cycles every time, I can't temp, opk's don't work & I get no other signs so we've taken to BD'ing every other night from Cd10 to CD20! This month we actually started from Cd8 - you never know right?!

I'm always up for it DH goes through phases - I think he should count his lucky stars he gets so much sex! Last night was Cd20 so last attempt, you can imagine we're both a little tierd of it now, so I try to keep it alive, wiggle over to him, he turns around and says 'come on then let's get it over with!'...... Well you can imagine my face, horniness went straight out of me, cue massive argument! Safe to say we didn't have it in the end!

Hi Everyone!

I am a newbie on this site, I have been on another forum for donkeys years. They didnt really have a place for LTTTC and even the ones that were, were a bit to nicey, nicey for me! Lots of 'its just as hard trying for 2 months as it is 2 years' - balls to them!!

The LTTTC forum and you ladies seem much more up my street!

Anyway, introductions...I am 24 and DH is 26 been together for 9 years, married for 18 months and been trying for 18 months also. Have done all the pre-investigations (bloods SA etc) turns out hubby has super so the problem lies with me I think. First FS appointment on the 31st

 

[Djibou]

Feisty, don't give up hope, it could still happen even with no symptoms

This month I'm finding it very hard to get in the mood as well. The past cycles were not as bad. I'm also in that state of mind: no BFP even when we had tons of sex, so why bother when I'm exhausted at the end of the day. Hopefully it gets better next month, because it makes me feel old and boring!

Good luck pinkfee, sticky beans and anyone else who is in the TWW limbo

Welcome OiskyPoisky! I hope you like it here
