CD 1 OCTOBER 27 (Anyone With Me?)

[amanthony]

Ok, here is the deal. Before my ultrasound, I asked them how long it will take to get the results back and they said: It usually is 48 hours before you hear anything UNLESS the results show an emergency situation and you will hear back today!

Well....after my test (they did ultrasound on the outside and then the vaginal one)....she took the results to the radiologist and then came back and said "Your doctor will get the results TODAY" and I was like TODAY!? She said yes and that is all she could say.

Now from what they told me before the ultrasound, only in an emergency situation do you get the results today......so what in the world!?!?

I called my doctor's office on the way home and told them what the radiologist said about today.....they said that wasn't good because the longer it takes to get the results back, usually the better, meaning no problems. The nurse said they haven't gotten anything yet, of course it was only a few minutes after my ultrasound, so they probably haven't sent them over yet.

So now its wait wait wait......and stressed stressed stressed! Throughout the ultrasound, the lady wouldn't tell me anything but yes that was my uterus, she wouldn't say what anything else was!

I'm in pain still of course........waiting by BOTH of my phones to hear something. My doctor leaves around 5 I think, its 335pm now.......waiting...

Oh goodness Krazy, I'm so sorry! PLEASE update as soon as you hear anything! You'll be alright. You're in our prayers.

Still no call.....guess it wasn't that urgent, so maybe that is a good sign? I had called and asked to speak with the doctor but they said he is seeing patients that have been waiting in rooms for him, so not sure if he will even get to my results today. Gee thanks.......did I mention, I'm switching doctors after all this? The growth on my urethra is causing pain but all I got from the doctor was "wow, I've never seen anything like that before".......that isn't what you want to hear from someone who has been through medical school you know!? Then all these other symptoms, I'm just waiting for an explanation. I'm in pain, I'm thinking of taking a few painkillers tonight and just trying to sleep off this anxiety.....I can't believe they didn't call me, knowing how in pain I am and how much I'm worried over this. I prayed that God would make the doctor have compassion on me and call! Sorry if I sound like a whiney baby......I'm just really stressed out, what started as a happy month the beginning of October to TTC has turned into one of the biggest headaches of my life lol.

krazykat I really hope everything is ok, make sure you get back on the phone to the doc first thing, its not fair them saying your doc will get the results today and really scaring you and then not getting back to you.

I have been up since I took my temp at 5am just wanting to cry, why is it for the past year I have had really irregular long cycles, never knowing where I am from one month to the next and this month my hubby goes away and I thought that as I have long cycles he would be back for ovulation but noooooooo, my temp has gone up this morning and I have loads of watery cm, I know i am going to O this weekend and I've not had sex once this cycle. So I guess thats me out this month

I'm sorry to hear about your O coming and hubby not going to be there. I know it must be frustrating!

Krazy, I watched that michael moore film, about the american healthcare system, last night.. my god, I was shocked!! I will never complain about our NHS again!!!
Praying that no news is good news hun xxx

Ald that is such a bummer, how bloody typical! Could be good news your cycles are getting more regular though?

I'm deffo going to ovulate sometime between today & tomorrow going by past cycles. I did an OPK with 2mu, just to see (I know its too early in the morning to do one really!) and its positive! I'm pretty happy about that as i've switched to the less sensitive ones this time & wasn't sure how dark they'd go.


Edited to add: here is my OPK from mid morning..

Ov time!!!! Woo hooo....

 

[dan-o]

Amanthony, any more signs of ov yet?

 

[jaytee]

Hey girls!

I hope everyone is doing ok today! I'm in a little pain. I have bad cramps!!!! They began last night and are still here. But its weird because I'm on cd9 and the ended about four days ago. This is so very weird!

Well I have to go and get some work done!

 

[amanthony]

Amanthony, any more signs of ov yet?

YAAAAAY YOU, Dan-O! That's the kind of no-questions-about-it POSTIVE OPK that I'm waiting for!!! And it looks like you're getting a lot of action in this month, too! Gearing up for that ! WOOHOOO!!!

As for me...yesterday I had what I thought could be EWCM, but wasn't sure. Still figuring this out. It was (WARNING: TMI ALERT! PROCEED WITH CAUTION!) mostly clear and stretchy, but still a little bit opaque and after stretching would end up in a clump. Also more slippery/watery present, but the large amounts of the other CM...it's what my creamy had been transitioning to and I'd still been charting as creamy, but as it was more clear I thought, "maybe it's EWCM?". Last night, however, it was DEFINITELY watery. So I'm thinking maybe that wasn't quite EWCM and we're still on our way there? Because I'm still getting NOTHING on those OPKs. So maybe it will be EWCM today? Or maybe I just don't know what EWCM is yet! WHO KNOWS!?! But I think I'm getting closer! Hopefully I'll be right after you!

EDIT:

DAN-O, do you hold your pee for 4 hours before doing the OPK? I try to, cutting my liquids down to almost nothing 2 hours before. It's hard, though! I have a tiny bladder! Is 4 hours preferred, or just 2? I keep getting mixed information...

 

[amanthony]

ALD - I'm SO sorry about the horrible timing. I know we all wish that we could figure out our bodies and get them on a schedule (or at least I do). Maybe your body is just gearing up, but will stay in the waiting for O mode for a while? Don't get discouraged just yet. Because even if O does come early you can be happy that your body's getting more regular, like Dan-O said.

KRAZY - Please keep us updated. That's so frustrating. But like you said--maybe no news was good news. And you really should expect to hear something today. Annoy them until they give you answers, if nothing else! Then be sure to let us know! We're here for you!

JAY-TEE - I had weird kind-of cramps this cycle too. I don't know what that is all about, but I just figured...maybe the weird little differences in this cycle are what's going to set it apart and make it the one that gets us that !

Ultrasound came back normal, nothing found, uterus is empty. (they mentioned chemical pregnancy is what gave me those 2 positive readings) Next step, they are sending to me a specialist to check the 'growth' on my urethra. It gets so big sometimes it blocks where I urinate....so didn't realize it could be causing the pelvic pain.

Good news is, if we want to try here in few days we can seemingly. So I have to think about that because I would ovulate in 4 or 5 days from now. I thought of stopping and trying to lose weight for a few months. I'm 5'4 180 pounds, so that is considered obese. I would like to get to around 145. What do you all think? I just want some advice.......should I keep trying, or wait to get that growth tested out or wait to lose weight, etc?

Thank you all for being such a great support! It has helped!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY!!! SO glad that everything's alright, and you FINALLY have an answer on the constant pain you were going through! Poor thing!

In my opinion--and it's just that, one girl's opinion--if you CAN put babymaking on the backburner and not make it your focus, maybe you should. Don't do anything to prevent it, just don't focus on it. Focus on you. Getting your growth taken care of, getting healthier, feeling good in general. And most of the time, from what I've learned, that's EXACTLY when people get pregnant. That's what I'd love to do, but I have to be honest with myself, and I'm not at the point where I can let go just yet. I wish I was. That's probably when I will get pregnant. I just don't know how to make myself do it just yet. Either way, let us know!

 

[hopefulfor09]

Dano-o - that's a lovely +OPK - now go catch that eggie.

KrazyKat - I am so sorry to hear what you have been through these last few days.The good news is that now you know. As for whether or not you should hold off on TTC - that hunny is a question only you can answer. But I do agree with amanthony - don't prevent but focus on yourself and I bet you get preggers! I think losing weight is important for both you and you're little bean to be - but you have to do it healthy. This journey is an emotional roller coaster and we're here for ya - whatever you decide.

Ald - Sorry to hear DH is away - that has happened to me 2x - Dh has to go away for work right I am O'ing. Frustrating I know but isn't that the way it always seems to happen? Hang in there.

Amanthony - I too am waiting for O - using opks but still nada. Line is getting a little darker though. I am on CD11 of a usually 25 day cycle so it should be anytime - gonna jump DH as soon as he gets home from work. Hee hee. And tomorrow too.

Ladies let's all get down to BD business and catch our eggies. Babydust to all.

 

[krazykat]

Thank you both for your input!!

Here is what I have decided: I'm going to try and lose weight. We are not going to be actually "trying" to conceive but if it happens, it happens. Basically its in God's hands but we won't be doing it on certain days, etc.

After I get to a healthy weight, we will actually TRY for a baby.

Soooo many people on here get BFP's doing just that!!!

Yes I have been seriously molesting my dear chap!!!

Unfortunately disaster struck last night & we fell asleep before we managed to dtd (both worked really hard on our house yesterday) & this morning he was too grumpy to have a go before he went to work. He's promised some action later but won't be home until after 10. I think I've probably already ovulated anyway, but no harm in a bit of extra action shhhhh
This egg should be fairly well covered, but if not there is always next time. If my cycles are going to be this short, I don't mind waiting so much, lol!!


I find that when my OPK's turn positive most pee will give a good result, unless I've drunk a lot of water or a beer, then the line is lighter.
Afternoon & evening when I haven't drunk much is usually best, but not necsessarily held in for a long time

The problem is you need to drink plenty to help make more fertile mucus, you can't win! pmsl

Ohhh and the CM you talk about, I get the exact same thing right before it turns watery/eggwhite! I have no idea how to report it on FF either??

 

[dan-o]

Hopeful, good luck to you too, are you ovulating soon?

Looks like I'm miles ahead of everyone else (again!) now my body has decided to start these short cycles, trouble is my luteal phase is quite short too, so I need an early implanter to stand a chance of it sticking!

So I've heard! It would be funny if I miss this cycle's AF and get a BFP by not even trying ha. Well I'm ready to start shrinking, hoping to be at a decent weight by Feb/March to "try" again.

 

[dan-o]

I should probably lose a few pounds too!
Oh well at least i thought about it (it's the thought that counts right?)
