CD1 (6/13/11) Come 1, Come All!

[chocbunni01]

hi ladies hope all is well. Hey Snip, TTC aww lookie the lil beanie...

 

[Snip]

Thanx TTC, I have used clomid before.
Gynea gave it to this time to kickstart ovulation and to get my ovaries back on track.
He did test all the hormones and thyroid and couln't find problems. He said it could be that my body are still recovering from breastfeeding LB..but it's 8 months now and things aren't back to normal yet. I breastfed LB till Dec and only got first AF since his birth in dec/jan...so maybe I'm just being to hasty.

If you look at my charts then May and June should be one...I did not get AF between the two. The first month (may) was anovulantary then got no AF and went on to ovulate in June...but did not know what was going on so I missed that eggy. this time I luckily know what to expect so if AF doesn't show I'll know exactly when next O will be.
Sorry for this weird story but I dont even know why it's happening

 

[Snip]

oooh, I got a great site that may solve my problem!!

Hey ladies: What color is spotting? Is it normaly brown or can it be red?

Can be red...but shouldn't fill a pad within a few hours.
sometimes it can be like a light - medium period

 

[here_we_r]

I went to the loo and have bright red on TP. need a liner probably so trying to figure if this is my cd1

 

[SKAV]

hey all,

Snip: so sad and angry with that BFN ? was it a digital you used?? y r u so sure that's its BFN??

here: hey lovely, hope u updated ur journal, will be going there next to see what there..do u normally spot b4 ur AF?

ttc: am so glad m/s is fading away..

bunni,popcorn: how r u doing??

OMG; ladies..am throwing up like hell Today was the worse day ever...I don't know what I will do..even sipping 7up doesn't work..even crackers!!!! I just throw up everything I eat..let it be ice cream,olives,grapes,crackers,water,7up..argh any ideas??

 

[chocbunni01]

hi Skav, you poor thing with the m/s... all i can remember from the past is them telling me to get out of bed slowly and nibbling on crackers. i remember certain lotions, soaps and perfumes making me wanna so is there anything in your environment causing you to become nauseated?
afm: i have an appt 8/17 to talk to the doc about this goofy body of mine. otherwise staying positive and excited about doing my workouts and eating like a bird. just 1 1/2 more days and i should be down 1 lb instead of running from the site and feeling down and out i decided to join the diet and fitness thread and started my own journal. nothing too interesting and im not sure how to put it in my sig anyway... Rest of you ladies

 

[ttc11786]

oh no skav!!!! feel better!!! i hope i do not get like that!!! im praying that i stay like this-no nausea and feeling pretty good! still exhausted though, and the gas pains are killing me but ill take those over nausea!

choc: good luck with dieting and excersise! mine has gone completely out the window but still lost 7 lbs! cant wait to start excersising again

 

[Snip]

Skav, I 99.9% sure it's the same that happened 2months ago.
My own conclusion.....My left ovary get ready for ovulation and maybe do O (or not) and then the hormones to build up the lining isn't there or not enough and the lining are shed right after O...it's not build up again for AF either. SO even if there's an eaggy that get's fertilized it cant implant.

It actually all makes sence to me now....but why does it only happen every second month??

 

[Want2bMum]

hello girls!!!

@skav, i am so sorry hun you are feeling this way... ms is supposed to ease as weeks pass by, i know it's little comfort now but hung in there, i am sure you'll feel better very soon!!!

@ttc, glad you are doing well only with gas pains, hopefully they will go away too!!!

@snip, i am so sorry hun. i am overly tired these days so i couldn't go back to the thread to see what everybody wrote.... but are you going to see a specialist? i don't know if it was you asking about clomid (so sorry but my brain decided not to work at all!!), my specialist told me that if you are sure you are not pregnant then you can start clomid any time during the cycle,but it is better to start after inducing af as the lining would be too old otherwise... good luck girl!!!

@bunni, i am on diet and exercise too!! ...but i am liking my diet as it is for pregnant women and it contains a lot of calories... so i can have almost everyday my beloved pasta!!!!

how is everybody else? i am sorry i am not here as often but i work during the day and during the evening when i come back home i feel as if i didn't sleep for the past week.... i fall asleep everywhere i sit...

Hey Want....ahh that tiredness aren't nice hey...but if it means having a LO it's all worth it!
FS here in SA are very expensive and not covered by medical aids. SO the answer is NO!
I just know it's the same as last time and my temps show it. You can see on my chart when AF should've started and I marked it with light AF so that FF can go on to the next cycle. Oh the other thing is that there's no lining build up so no old lining. remember the last time the lining was shed right after O and no lining build up for another 3 weeks when I was at the Gyno....this time same happened...lining was shed right after O..so I believe no lining build up this time either and that's the reason for not getting AF....no blood there.
sorry for the long story but that's how I understand it.
I really think I should try the clomid without AF....nothing to loose right??

 

[Want2bMum]

hi snip,

i certainly wasnt updated with your story so thanks for sharing it again! So, did the gyno performed ultra sound and told you there was no lining? this was 3 weeks after O?

if so, maybe your hormones aren't balanced and you need estrogens like clomid... and if it sheds right after O, maybe you need more progesterone?

anyway, i don't think clomid will harm you, if you are sure you are not pregnant!

my specialist told me i could take it any time if i dint get af...

the estrogens in clomid would hopefully build a good lining and produce good follicles...

will keep my finger crossed for you!!!

Hey Snip:
My RE told me from the sono I had on Thursday that my lining looks thin. (Are we related...same cycle, same LP, now lining) He said it could not be but it looks that way because he should have seen something (idk) on the screen being that AF was about to start. He is going to do a hysteroscopy to see.

I was trying to read up on this and it says that signs are are scanty or 1-2 days of AF. I don't have a scanty cycle and have 4 days of a cycle. So I don't know.

AF info in the spoiler

Spoiler

I have noticed after my chemical that I have more of a slimy AF. when it settles in the loo it looks like clots

I read up on some stuff and some natural ways to remedy thin lining is:
1. baby aspirin
2. Pomegranate juice - 100%
3. Green Tea
4. Super B Complex - to help stabilize hormones

I went shopping today and obtained all these. I just don't want the B complex to lengthen my LP. I'm afraid of that. 14 days is enough.

 

[SKAV]

hey girls

The thread is quite silent these days..thought i was the only one missing..

want: i can't wait till this horrible feeling passes...how r u doing? any nausea??

bunni: GL with your diet..remember no Oreos !! hehehe maybe 1 or 2

snip: i dont understand anything about clomid but guess Want gave you some points..

here: so has your AF started, 'cos you had to get an appointment once you get your AF right?? or am i just carzy ??

ttc: I just want the nausea to go away...

popcorn,scooter,tx : how are you girls??

AFM, *touchwood* I did NOT throw up yday and today (till now 12.40noon) but I do feel terribly nauseated and queasy... All i sip is 7up and nibble on some crackers...hope it works..

Hv a lovely day ladies

 

[Want2bMum]

hello skav!!!

i thought the same.... thought it was only me missing due to extreme fatigue!!!

it's good that you are feeling a tiny bit better hun, fx it will last!!!

as for me, no nausea anymore... no bloating... nothing... it's being hard for me to feel pregnant... and of course i am sooooooooooooo worried!!!

the only thing is af type cramps always present, more during evenings but a bit also throughout the day.... and don't know if it's normal...

i won't see my midwife until i am 12 weeks... and i am anxiously waiting for my first scan on september the 2nd!!!

luckily you are always here girls.... for me you are a source of info.... couldnt do without!!!

xxx

 

[SKAV]

hey Want

so great to see you here!!!
The REAL nausea hits during the 5th or the 6th week I've heard..Hope u don't have to go through what i went/go through now...It's a mess but down beneath me I say to myself I will go through whatever God want me to go through IF I could have this baby ( let me precise A HEALTHY BABY GIRL )

AF cramps were on and off for me too..now I don't feel anything except for sharp stabbing pain once in a while..DOn't worry..the beanie is fine..

Oh, so you won't see midwife till ur 12weeks..but thanks to the scan on the 2nd..it's long wait right?? See...it's always a WAITING GAME!!

Same here WANT, you girls are like my family..I have to come here daily or else my day is not done!..

ps: do u speak/write italian ??

 

[here_we_r]

Hey Skav: Yea AF started Sat. I guess Sat is CD1. You know its funny how at any other point I'm pretty confident of CD's and when something major is about to happen I start doubting. Ok..so here it goes. On Friday I had spotting of red enough for a liner. Would that be my CD 1 or full flow which was Sat? HELP!! And yea I get to call tomorrow and schedule my hysteroscopy for him to check my cervix and all and get any meds I'll be needing..I'm really excited. Yesterday I was in a funk. Aww man..I was so depressed yesterday that it was pitiful. I was playing the pity party!

Hey Want: Your stretchy and crampy feeling is normal. Its your uterus stretching and making more room... congrats again honey!

 

[SKAV]

hey here: lovely to see you I would state spotting on friday and full flow(medium/heavy) for yday's that saturday..
I know exactly what your talking about..you're gonna get a baby soon...that's all i am saying... everything will go perfectly..!!! am sure.. Keeping FX'd !!!
remember the DOMINO EFFECT!!! ITS HAPPENING !!!!

Love your profile pic !!

 

[Want2bMum]

hello herewer,

i know what you are going through.... i was so so depressed when it didn't happen i would cry all day!!! i would ask to my self "why? why me?" and i really meant it, i couldn't understand why this was happening...

then i got my little bean and the shock of it didn't pass yet.... so yesterday i was thinking again of the past year and i realised that this little bean is 100 times more cherished and more wanted that it would have been a year ago.... i don't mean we wouldnt be extremely happy if it happened when we started to try, i just think that now we understand the value of what we have got.... and i am sure you do too after all you went though... so think that when it finally happens for you then your little one is going to be so much wanted and so much cherished... he/she is going to take over the house ah ah ah!!!

at what time did the spotting start on saturday? if it was early enough like before evening and it wasn't only on tp than i would consider this as cd1 with a light flow...

@skav have you tried the gender prediction from chinese calendar? my family went back generations when they discovered it and apparently the predictions were all right...

i speak, read and write italian as my mother tongue.
