CD1 on Jan 2 - anyone close and looking for buddies?

[ZooMa]

BFNs for 7 days in a row... then CD 1 starts again on 1/29! I’ve only been charting two cycles but looks like I have a 25 and 27 day cycle… Was hoping they’d be longer. I think I’m gonna call my OB just to see how long i should try before I come and given that I’m 39 in a couple months. She said I don’t need to wait the whole six months that “they” say you need to wait after 35 years old. I’m really closer to 40. Yikes!

Good luck, ladies!

I'm out ladies, af got me on Saturday. On to the next cycle. I turn 37 next week but I did have bloods done last month to make sure I'm still ovulating and they came back fine. My man is getting tested this week. Next cycle will be our 7th.

 

[ZooMa]

Well, here’s to February, jesstula (and others!). Maybe this will be the month... baby dust all around.

 

[jesstula]

Fingers crossed for us all. Good luck x

I called my Obgyn office the other day and asked when to start an infertility workup (since I know things are cycle day sensitive and you can’t necessarily get all the info in one cycle) and she was willing to some basic stuff now. So, I went to the lab to get the ovarian reserve blood panel drawn in cycle day 3, but I don’t think results are back for a couple weeks. I know it’s early to worry, but my cycles are shorter than they used to be (now 26 days) so I don’t want to waste time. And, if my numbers aren’t good I may try the adoption route rather than farting around with treatments for me.

Plus, I know as soon as I start taking action I’ll end up knocked up - isn’t that how it goes? Maybe. Good luck!

 

[jesstula]

You've made the first step now, hopefully you have tempted fate and like you said you will end up conceiving! Do you have any other children or would this be your first? I'm in the uk so I think things are different as in tests, hospitals etc. I hope you get the results you want hun. Hopefully this will be our month!

 

[jesstula]

Just read back and can see that you have other children! Same as me

 

[ZooMa]

Well, I’m about average for my age when they put all the hormone levels together. I’m getting a saline bubble Yltrasound on Tuesday which might identify any big physical impediments (fibroids, etc) that could challenge conception. I didn’t want the radiation of an HSG so this may help. It may also “clear things out” so we will see. Valentine’s Day conceptions, here we come!

 

[jesstula]

How did yesterday go? X

 

[ZooMa]

Thanks for asking! Actually, we didn’t get insurance preapproval and I didn’t want to risk a $900+ medical bill, so I canceled the procedure. I’m not really high risk for any obstructive issue other than c section x 2 which the ultrasound wouldn’t really address anyway.

I think ovulation is any day now. However, after a hellacious 1.5 hour bedtime tonight with screaming kids, hubby and I are NOT in the mood.

Do you know what the best birth control is? Kids.

Just kidding (well only sorta). Hopefully we’ll have energy tomorrow morning.

How are you getting along???

 

[jesstula]

$900! Wow I don't blame you for cancelling! I've always said kids are the best form of birth control! Lol. Every time mine have a tantrum I say to my other half ' you sure you want another one?!' Lol. I think I will populate today or tomorrow, I haven't been testing this month as I feel a bit fed up with it all if that makes sense? We have just been doing the deed every night, man I'm tired!! Lol. X

 

[ZooMa]

“Populate”... ha! That’s a great attitude!

I think tomorrow is O day for me as well. We always peter out before the final day, but hopefully something g is still sticking around this time.

 

[jesstula]

Populate lol what the hell!! Bloody auto correct! Lol. No children tonight so should manage to get plenty of bd in!

 

[jesstula]

Hey hun. How's it going? Any symptoms yet? I've got sore boobs but I'm pretty sure I had that this time last month to! Lol I've also got a sore throat and sores in my mouth. Other than that nothing really x

 

[ZooMa]

Nah, I don’t try to symptom spot. I did break out a wondfo early and of course BFN. I have a feeling it will all be BFNs for a while.... maybe I should look in to adoption again. We are such procrastinators though that we’d never get around to filling out the introductory paperwork.

How are you??

 

[jesstula]

I've been pretty laid back this month as previous months have just done my head in! Lol. As well as sore boobs, sore throat, headache I've been having really vivid dreams. I did test at 9dpo an it was negative so haven't bothered since. Fingers crossed for us both x

 

[ZooMa]

Well, here we go again..,,

 

[jesstula]

Yep, af got me, now on my last day. This is doing my head in! And to top it off the other half has lost his job and my car won't start!! Aarrggghhhhhh

 

[ZooMa]

Oh no!!! That sounds like so many life stressors right now. I really hope things get sorted out as soon as possible. Virtual hugs sent your way 🤗

 

[jesstula]

Thanks lovely. Car should be alright think it's because we have so much snow at the minute an it was to cold! Lol. Lots of bd to keep us warm!! Lol. Good luck for this cycle x
