Thanks Peach, yes this is what i was worried about having low progesterone, i know doctors say to try for a year first but if i have a problem then i definately want to know sooner rather than later. Im not too sure what doctors are like around the world but here in Australia they are pretty good, im positive my doctor will do any tests i ask for without questioning me. I will let you know how i go and what they say. I wont make an appointment until i definately get the i will then print out my 5 charts that i have and take them in so i can show her too.

progesterone is a simple blood test so they shouldn't give you to much heck to have it done, it is the test you do on CD21 or at 7dpo in your cycle. Good luck!

 

[SarahMelissa]

Thanks Kelly, i just hope i O sooner than CD20 this time so i dont have to wait as long for the test, will see the doc in the meantime anyways with my concerns once i get hit by the

The witch should arrive for me on friday. We are still waiting to hear back about DH's latest SA... I really hope the FS calls me today! I hate the waiting.

 

[SarahMelissa]

Your temps are still up Kelly....fingers crossed, mine however are now down under the coverline, witch hasnt shown her face yet, but she will at any minute.l

[Kelly9]

hey Ajsmommy, welcome, that big dip at 6dpo could be a very good sign for you.

Sarah, I know my temps are still up but I still have tomorrow to get through to, they will come down sometime they don't until the 1st or 2nd day of witch. It if it higher tomorrow I will test as that would be very unusual for me.

Oh btw I am leaving my job a week sooner! WHoot!!!!!

 

[Kelly9]

So we got DH's SA results for his second one... the FS says it's a bit better but overall more of the same, she did however tell us his sperm count is really low which we though she told us last time he had a very high sperm count, I guess there was some kind of miscommunication so this one was worse. His overall count went from 14.6 million to 22.6 million which should be 40 million and higher to be normal, his morphology went down from 10% to 8% which should be 15% to be normal and his motility the first time was 51 and 37 (after 3 hours) to 46 and 44 (after 3 hours) it should be 50 to be normal, so a few things went up. I guess the increase in counts is good but we thought he had a lot of sperm so basically I bawled my eyes out on the phone to a friend for an hour. We might be doing ICSI or IVF now instead of IUI... but we have to wait for our appointment for that to find out more. F**K! I hate this it's all bull s**t.

 

[SarahMelissa]

Kelly im so sorry

got me

 

[Kelly9]

So I just called the fertility clinic out here and it turns out we're on the IVF waiting list which is shorter then the general list so we'll be in within 2 to 3 more months instead of 4 to 5!!! And while we wait the additional 6 months for IVF from the date of our first appointment we are allowed to do our 3 rounds of IUI so there won't be as long of a wait for IVF if the IUI's don't work! Yay some good news finally... oh and witch showed up today after my record high temperature!

 

[SarahMelissa]

Sorry the witch got you kelly but that is great you finally have some good news.

 

[Mrs_N]

thats good kelly, you deserve some good news!

cd7 for me today, the week has gone quickly yay! yesterdays temp was really high - ognored it cos I'd taken it late, but today it is still up there - any ideas? It's never been this high at this stage of my cycle before

 

[Peach Blossom]

I really can't believe it... I've been using opks for 4 cycles and they've never ever worked. Even when I KNOW I've O'd they've been -ve. OH is away tonight and we are officially waiting til we get the test results before trying again, but I'm keeping an eye on my cycles still... Did an opk earlier today and for the first time ever ever ever its a +ve... typical!!

 

[Seity]

That's great news Kelly!
Hey Peach, it's a +opk, so that's good. If you see it once, there's a good chance you'll see it again.

 

[Kelly9]

yay peach!!!

SO witch actually started today.. cramps are killing me, I'm all doped up on advil.

 

[SarahMelissa]

Thats good you have finally seen a positive OPK peach.

Well witch is basically gone for me, only seems to hang around for about 2 days (might ask the doc about that too at my appointment on thursday) so now its just waiting to O again, really hope i dont have to wait until CD20 again this time. Come on O CD14 PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I enjoyed a nice glass (or two) of wine today for lunch.......its my once a month indulgence

About us:

Can I join please??

#? 29??

My story: We've been together forever but wanted to enjoy some time together after we were married before having kids so we decided we'd start TTC before I hit 30.

I'm now 31, 32 in October and we've been trying since November 2007 But, in all fairness we didn't have a bloody clue about when I was fertile or anything until about 2 weeks agao, so I don't entierly count myslef in the LTTTC club, for all that it has been far too long.


Been together with OH: 15 years! Marriied 3 years ago, but been together since I was 16, but didn't live together till after the wedding.

TTC for: officially on Cycle 19, but this is the 1st cycle I've actually done any research into how best to get pregnant!


Charting for: 2 weeks today!

Other Children: none

 

[Kelly9]

welcome, when leelee pops in next I am sure she will add your chart.

Sarah mine only last 2 days as well and I was told its normal and that I should live it up cause we don't get it for a week! Mine is also quite light, just a bit more then spotting each month for those 2 days. I hope you don't O on Cd20 again either. I am hoping for cd 17 again.. but thats still 15 days away... the crappy thing about having a shorter period is it doesn't get you through half of the 2 weeks or so before Ov!!!! Makes time go by slower.

I am on cd2 so I expect some spotting tomorrow then thats it, I am still quite crampy though, they really got me this month.

 

[SarahMelissa]

Yeah im the same Kelly its only a couple of days and not very heavy at all by the second day its pretty much just spotting, but if its normal than i certainly wont complain, they used to be about 6 days long while i was on BCP. You are right about the waiting though it does seem like forever now until O, im doing very well this month so far though i havent been upset and i am staying really positive and not stressing so hopefully my O will come on time.

I have a good feeling about this month.

oh and welcome 555ann555

 

[Kelly9]

I wish I were on cd5! Mine were 5 days on the pill they used to be 5 days before the pill to but FS said it's normal for it to change as you age. So I wouldn't think anything of it. I wish I could say I have a good feeling about this month but really they chances are quite slim to nil so on I go waiting for my apt.
