CBFM Buddy

[Mrs.B.]

Thanks Ladies, I read that vit C can help on AF, I went and bought some super strength chewable tablets and took since Saturday ... coincidence?? haha x

 

[jchic]

Daisy - how are you feeling?

UGH - so listen to this - the nurse from my obgyn's office called and said my blood tests were totally normal BUT back in Sept, I had something called High Anti TPO (some thyroid antibody) but that the rest of the thyroid was normal and this month the tests came back normal. The range is up to 352 and in Sept mine measured 353. She said nothing to worry about, etc. BUT of course Google is my BFF so I am sitting here thinking I have like a million Thyroid diseases! WTF!

 

[mammawannabe]

i know!! thats so funny that we are on the same cycle...we are in sync.

Jchic~ YAY! we def. are cycle buddies. When are you planning on testing?? I have about a 12day LP so i'm due to test on dec 10th. That would be awesome if we could get our BFP's together!

 

[mammawannabe]

Mrs.B ~ haha, maybe it was all that vit c you took, whatever it was, it worked and now you can move forward in this cycle! YAY!

Jchic~ i really wouldn't worry at all about that 353 number, it was only one number off so really that doesn't count as being HIGH (maybe slightly elevated)...and this month was normal, so DONT WORRY....Google can be the devil...also being a RN i swear i think i have every problem and/or disease you could think of.

 

[DaisyQ]

Very interesting mrs. B. I've also heard views ska chasteberry is good for regulating cycles and irregular periods. Have you heard that?

Jchic, I wouldn't get too worried about one barely elevated test. Sometimes labs can be a fluke and just wrong, and that's why it's important to redo any abnormal labs. Going to definitely ask for labs at my appointment next week.

Creative, how are you doing?

Afm, still sick. No fever though, although my temps are sill high, post o temps.

 

[DaisyQ]

Arg. Not views, vitex. I hate autocomplete!

 

[1cre8tivgrl]

Hey girls...staying quiet over here..nothing exciting happening with me. just waiting for the witch to leave.

jchic and mamma when are you guys testing?

I hope you start to feel better soon Daisy!

 

[jchic]

Hey All!

Daisy and Mamma - Thanks! I am trying not to think I have everything under the sun, especially since this lab a week ago was normal - I literally was thinking:
Hashimotos Disease
Thyroid Cancer, etc
I am a hypocondriac, LOL. I think I am going to test same day Mamma! How are you feeling so far?
Creative - how was your holiday?
Mrs B - you are going for your tests today?
Daisy - when do you go to the doc?

 

[mammawannabe]

YAY jchic....so happy we are testing buddies!!
I'm feeling ok..no diff yet, although i just came home from work and shoved any food product i could find into my mouth...ex: kraft mac and cheese, pepperoni and english muffins with melted cheese and salsa. WHat is that? in what world would that be considered a meal. AND...i already ate dinner at 3am when i was at work. Not really considering it a symptom,(just thought it was funny) but still...came home ready to eat the house. lol.
How are you feeling? Anything to report?

Mrs. B ~ good luck on your blood tests today. FX for you that everything is fine.

Daisy and Cre8tiv ~ how we feelin? hangin in there?? do you girls plan on doing anything different this go around or stayin the same?

 

[1cre8tivgrl]

Mamma I did the same thing last month, 2 and 3 dpo, I couldn't get enough food!! I'm thinking for me it was a PMS symptom...it drove me nuts though. I ate like that all day long, I think I gained 5lbs that week

I am going to be taking FertileCM if it shows up on time...patiently waiting for it to arrive. Hope it comes in time. Also going to try taking B6 (50mg) this month and see if that does anything for my lp. Do you girls know if you spot days before AF if it effects your lp or not?

 

[Mrs.B.]

Heya

Yes went for my base hormone level and rubella bloods today, she took 5 vials! lol

Now just to wait for 19 Dec for the second lot for comparison. Scans next Monday in between tho to keep me occupied

Hope your all doing good today

[jchic]

Hey all!
So my doc told me that my thyroid antibodies were at 353 not 35.3! Thats realllyyyy high but my actual thyroid etc results were norm. Said he wasnt going to refer me to an endocronoligist but I went anyway because better to be safe! She said I may be having the very beginning of a slight hypothyroid. She ran blood to compare to sept results amd said if it is the case, a small dose of a hormone replacement will fix it and to continue ttc its all safe. Heres hoping!
Mamma- 5 dpo today woohooooo! R u nervous to test?
Daisy- hows your cold?
Creative- how r u?
Mrs B- when do u get ur results?

 

[DaisyQ]

Hey Mrs. B, glad to hear your tests are underway. I think you'll feel so much better now that the ball is rolling.

Jchic, glad to hear that it's only *possibly* *slight* hypothryroid - that's pretty minor stuff and should be just fine when corrected. My BFF has severe hypothryroid, and had 4 kids in 5 years.

AFM, nothing much happening. Cold is much better, but still lingering a little. Mainly just very tired. Temps finally dropped down to pre-O levels today. Still taking my B50 complex - I think I'll keep it at 50 for this month, to see how it affects my LP and spotting, since last month may not really count since I started taking it post O. If I don't see much of an effect this month, I may up it to B100 (I'll just take 2/day). Not really planning on doing anything else new this cycle, just going to keep on using the preseed etc.. I was thinking about using soft cups? But I'm a little intimidated - scared I won't be able to get it out!

My gyn appt is for next monday. Actually wondering if I should go ahead and make an appointment with this fertility specialist (reproductive endocrinologist and OB/GYN) who comes highly recommended by a friend who was trying for 4 years (their issue was male factor). Not sure if it is completely premature to do that after trying only for 4 months?? I'll be 34 next week and just don't want to wait too long before getting checked out and am not confident that my regular gyn will be able to do much?

Anyway.... I digress

how is everyone else? Creative, hanging in there? Are you feeling a little blue? I am...

 

[Mrs.B.]

Thanks Ladies, Yes feels good to have things underway

I wont get blood results until Ive had my second lot on the 19th Dec

I dont know anything about Thyroid, but I do hope you are sorted soon

I like softcups, I feel less messy using them as nothing falls back out, I am a fan They are a little difficult to get our at first but you find your own way I reckon xx

 

[jchic]

I am SCARED of softcups, LOL....I bought a box and was too scared to put one in. I am such a wacko! hahaha

 

[1cre8tivgrl]

I'm glad your feeling better Daisy! Yeah I'm a little down too..i just hate the thought of starting all over again, it takes (or seems like it) forever to get to the tww again. I just look forward to the leaving which should be in a few more days.

Jchic my husband has an underactive thyroid problem, he's on meds for life...we've had 2 kiddos...not sure if that makes you feel any better I personally think your fine, if the doctor isn't concerned about it I wouldn't stress yourself out over it.

Things are going to happen for us all very soon!!!

A christmas BFP would really be SO cool, huh Creative? It will also be our 6 month anniversary...

Just made an appointment in January with fertility doc - just in case... I really think I might have a progesterone issue, and in any case, I will feel better just knowing I've been checked out. By then we'll be on our 6th cycle trying.

I could tell you were feeling down - me too - I know we all feel like it was supposed to happen already. Just trying to be present in TODAY and appreciate what I have. My mom got hurt over the holiday (somehow she tripped on my stepdaughter - not sure how, I wasn't there) and she cracked a rib. Ended up in the ER last night in severe pain. Just makes me realize that I should turn my focus to appreciating the people in my life right now, and stop stressing about when baby shows up. Although it's hard to stop stressing!

 

[DaisyQ]

And thanks for the reassurance on soft cups Mrs. B! I might get some if I can find them at the drug store!

 

[1cre8tivgrl]

Yes a Christmas bfp would be awesome!! We could get up early, wrap up our + test and put it under the tree for our hubby's to open...how cool would that be??!!! I too am wondering if I have a progesterone issue...if it doesn't happen this month I am going to book my appt as well. I just had my thyroid checked and that is fine so 1 by one we'll get this figured out! In the meanwhile I am having a day where I just want to escape from everything, I feel so restless and I'm not having any luck calming myself down, just stir crazy I think. So greatful I have a nice classic Christmas party to attend tomorrow...without my kids!! LOL

4 more days till I can pee on my first stick this cycle Its all I have to look forward to
