[sadie]

I temped this morning. Still no ovulation which is good. It just needs to wait until monday!!! I think temping is great.
Im thinking about u sarah! Do u tempt to see if the bbt remains elevated to confirm p?Anyone else? I love it.

This is my first cycle back at temping, but I do it throughout the whole thing. Now granted, I am still TTC, so no pregnancy verification...for me, it has been AF verification, lol.

Sarahincanada, rooting for you BFP! Wanted to give you an update as I had 4 follies when I took my trigger shot before my iui. Scan yesterday and one baby! As our specialist indicated, at 37 the chance of multiples was minimal. Take good care and you are in my thoughts and prayers, you all are! It took us over 2 years to get our bfp so keep the faith that you will too!

HI Ladies,

Have been reading through most of the posts, (there are so many!!!!!!!), am feeling very low at the mo and thought you might be able to offer me some pma.

I've just turned 39, and am blessed with a lovely 2 yr old girl. We fell pregnant again last May but had a mmc in the July, a year ago tomorrow. Since then we have been busy trying in vain to get pregnant again. I went to see my doc in April to ask for tests to check everything ok but she sent me away saying 'relax, have a glass of wine, everything looks fine'.

Well I went again this week and she agreed to have some tests done, but she is still convinced all is ok. I'm not!

So I had some blood taken on CD2, got my 21 day tests in a couple of weeks and my dh is having a sperm analysis some time in next 2 weeks. (He is soooooooooo thrilled!!)

I guess I am just starting to panic that my fsh score will be horrendously high and that we've just run out of time. I have regular (within a day or so) 26 day cycles, although they are lighter than before mmc, am also worried is is a really bad sign that everything is going pear shaped. The worst part of it all is the stress on us, we have barely talked ton each other the last few days .... just when I need him the most .........

You all sound so positive, I am hoping that whatever the results I can pick myself up a bit!

hi!! yes I do temp, in fact my temps are really low this month. Not sure if clomid is messing them up. Im going to ask about this when I go for next cycle, I remember the nurse saying 'I see you are not getting luteal phase support' so I think theres support available perhaps where they test progesterone. My lining was perfect but if my progesterone is low perhaps thats a problem. Or my temps mean nothing as some people mention not to temp when you are on medication! BFN too

@flosseroo- I am so sorry for your loss.

I know it is so easy to let you mind go into a panic, but try not to do it.

You are headed in the right direction with getting your testing done and hopefully that will give you the answers you need and somewhere to start!

Please keep us posted on your progress.

awww I think the hardest part is going for the tests....then when you get the results you can start a plan of action. However it can be frustrating....all our results are perfect but we are just not getting pregnant. You have been pregnant before (sorry for the loss ) so thats a good sign, Ive never been pregnant and wonder if it will ever happen. Please let us know what the results are, Im sure you will be fine, and if not theres lots of options to help, sometimes its just something small

Hi everyone
i cant remember what I have posted in what forums! lol Just a reminder, I am 38 and ttc#2 for 7mths. This cycle I did femara CD2-6, duphaston CD15-25, for thin lining, positive test on 11dpo, 12dpo, 13dpo (a little bit of an addict and needed convincing!!). OB appointment on 13dpo. She did an internal ultrasound and couldnt be sure she could see anything, did a normal ultrasound, also couldnt be sure if she could see a sac. I had blood taken to do a betaHCG test, rsult scame back positive at 131 (not sure on meanings of levels). The one thing she said that completely freaked me out.....she said that as she couldnt see anything for sure there was a slight risk of an ectopic pregnancy and to be aware of any stomach cramps (and to call her immediately). It has been 7 days now and still no cramps! Still worried though. Every slight feeling of a trickle, I run to the bathroom, expecting to see blood. Scared stiff. I am booked for a scan on the 12th July, approximately 6 weeks. She wants to check sac and thinks she may get a heartbeat. I am not going to panic too much if no heartbeat, as I know it can be later sometimes. I am also back on duphaston, twice daily for 4 weeks to begin with, to help with my lining and progesterone.

Ha ha just a short reply!

wow thats so not fair, its like you cant enjoy your bfp as you are worried. I didnt think they would see anything at 13dpo regardless?? as its just burying into the lining then isnt it? havent they checked your blood again to make sure hcg is rising? I will be keeping everything crossed for you

great thanks, will update my chart tomorrow, good luck to everyone!!

They havent checked my levels again. I have not really enjoyed any of the first 10 days of my BFP. I came down with a head cold/sore throat the day before I found out, so I havent slept well or felt good since. Feel more human today and now sleeping 10:30-6ish, instead of waking at 3/4am!! I guess I'll just wait for my next appointment on the 12th July. Still no pains, so thats good.

I also thought that 13dpo was too early to see anything, as my period was not even due then! and the little bean was probably still implanting itself! Doctors really can freak you out.

 

[sadie]

well, i now need to vent. i am on cd13 and am actually feeling major O pains on my left side. Unfortunately I wont be with DP for another 24 hours. Temp definitely went up and I am sure I am O'ing. this sucks. I'm so mad and upset. The damn thing couldn't have waited another day?? So now I'll only have next cycle to try and then a big maybe to the end of august, but with my luck, as has happened alllllll year long, the timing was just off. (reminder to some: my dp lives in another country, across the pond!! ) So upset.
