Cheers to BFPs in 2-0-1-7!

[Sheece]

Well I just spoke to clinic - Im going in tomorrow morning for a snapshot blood test, so they will let me know after lunch what my body is up to and we'll go from there.

By the sounds of it starting IUI mid cycle isn't really something they do, so will have to wait and see.

@Sheece
Please let us know the results of your blood test! Fingers crossed it's good news

AFM - I called my gynecologist again today to see if I can move my appointment (July 21) up, but they are completely booked so it's a no So I will have to wait out this cycle and the next one before I can find out what is causing my long cycles. Hubby says that everything is probably fine and I'm just worried over nothing *sigh* It might have been totally naive but when I read early on that most couples conceive within the first 6 months, I had thought we'd already by pregnant come summer ._. Trying to stay positive, but I'm having one of those days today it would seem.

 

[Sheece]

My results were -

Oestrogen (E2): 920
Lutenizing Hormone (LH): 121.7
Progesterone (P4):2.8
FSH:14.7

These results: LOOKS LIKE YOU ARE OVULATING AT THE MOMENT

I go back on Friday to re-take them. I don't know if LH & FSH elevate around ovulation time but wow, my numbers are sky high, which would correlate with my feeling that my PCOS is flaring :/

They say Im ovulating but could just be pcos making my body try to ovulate again. I did have a big temp dip today though so fingers crossed. Not holding out much hope I'll have good eggs now though, on day 51!

Fluffy - thats a bugger about not being able to move forward your appointment I know how frustrating it is to have to wait. And you're allowed to have one of those days Sometimes you just need to vent and get it all out then move on to the next day.

 

[MeepMeepHP]

Still possible by summer Fluffy, at least where I am it's definitely still "Spring" averaging in the 40s (F).

I finally figured out FF and embedded it in my signature! I noticed anytime I'm off taking my temp by an hour it marks my temp unreliable...seems extreme...I just wait for the cat to wake me up for breakfast.

 

[Sheece]

Meep - ive tested it because I thought it was a bit extreme too. My temp does fluctuate quite a bit if its taken over an hour later or earlier. I just set my alarm now heh

Well girls, touch wood but it seems I may have ovulated yesterday as per those blood test results. Had the biggest temp spike Ive had all cycle this morning

Going in tomorrow morning for another test to see what my levels are doing, but fingers crossed!

 

[MeepMeepHP]

oo good luck!

 

[MeepMeepHP]

Annnd my temp dropped below coverline this morning at 7dpo If it's AF I'll be very confused, I have not had such a short cycle since I first went off the pill 2 years ago.

 

[Sheece]

Meep, it's normal to dip in the LP too, so don't worry too much Either an implantation dip, or a dip due to hormone fluctuations. I usually have one or two if that helps

 

[Sheece]

I just got my second blood test results -

Your hormone levels from today were as follows:
Estrogen (E2) : 394
Lutenizing Hormone (LH): 15.1
Progesterone (P4): 9.8

These bloods show: YOU HAVE NOW OVULATED

CALL ON DAY 1 OF YOUR NEXT PERIOD TO START YOUR INSEMINATION CYCLE

Yay! officially 2dpo, finally can get things happening

 

[abennion]

Yay!!! Hurray for O!


I have no idea when I O'ed this cycle. I know I have because my temps are post O temps (as they have been all cycle) with almost a week since I finished my antibiotics. Could have been earlier than expected, might be later. No idea. Guess I'll just have to wait for AF.

 

[HopefulB]

Sheece thats great news!So lovely when things are moving forward!
Abe I hope you are feeling better and the antibiotics have done there job?
Fluffy I hope your hubby is right and who knows keep BD and you may even not need the appointment fingers crossed. But its horrible this waiting around! Thats the worst bit about all of this not knowing!
So I O yesterday, but I am very low about it as my DH has been too tired since Monday so no chance that this is my month! We are going to the Doc on Tue to talk next steps and if I am honest I think I believed we wouldn't need the appointment as thought it would have just happened for us after the lap to clear all the endo etc. So now we go and discuss what hormones to pump back into my body, i am so tired of that as for the last 6 months I have loved just being me no outside influence and now that going... I love my oh to bits and he is an amazing person but today i really dont like him much! Not that if we had bd it would have happened but I am so very fed up now knowing its defiantly not happened this month! Mix that in with the feelings of rejection and now out of nowhere low confidence and this is a tough day!
Hope everyone else has a lovely Friday! xx

 

[Fluffycookie]

@Meep
Thank you, I still have hope it might happen before then but...

@abennion
I'm no expert, but personally I would guess CD14 might have been the day for you and the earlier spikes could be due to the infection.

@Sheece
Woo so exciting ^.^ Good bye to this long cycle for you

I'm trying to interpret cervical mucus again this month but... it still all looks the same to me X.X


My Ovulation Chart

 

[Sheece]

Sorry Hopeful, that would be a horrible, annoying feeling knowing you haven't done as much as you could because of DH. I hope you're feeling better now!

AFM - FF gave me my crosshairs today, but two days too early! Lol whacko. it says I am 5dpo but I'm really 3. Check out my chart, There's no way I ovulated when it said I did.

Thanks for the good vibes and thoughts girls! Counting down to IUI now, with a small hope of not having to do it at all

 

[Fluffycookie]

@Sheece
Looks like a very clear CD51 to me, no idea why FF thinks it's two days earlier XD

@HopefulB
Trying to keep positive, but I think we might well need that appointment in July... but we keep trying regardless, hahha! Frustrating that you're out this month Hopefully I should be approaching ovulation in 10 days or so, but no way of knowing with me really. Hubby has just gotten a big project underweay at work, so I'm worried he'll be all tired out right around my ovulation this month as well. Don't feel rejected though, if he's just too tired it has nothing to do with you at all I totally understand how you feel though. Maybe treat yourself to something you couldn't do when (possibly) pregnant? I'm planning to make and eat some unbaked cookie dough with cream cheese this month when AF hits

 

[MeepMeepHP]

Welp, I'm out for this month!

I ordered some Wondfo strips, hopefully they will work better for me than First Response.

 

[Sheece]

Sorry the witch got you Meep

 

[abennion]

Sorry Meep, hopefully next cycle will be it!

 

[HopefulB]

Thanks Sheece and Fluffy, it wasn't a very nice weekend tbh as I was so annoyed with Hubby, think my appointment tomorrow is also making me nerviness. I am feeling better today though and fingers crossed I get some good news for moving forward tomorrow, although I am not sure what I want to hear. I am taking your advice though and going out with the girls on Saturday! A few drinks and a dance always makes me feel better!
Sorry Meep! It sucks every time

 

[Sheece]

How did your appointment go Hopeful?

 

[HopefulB]

Hi Sheece, so just got back to work after appointment. DH has to do his test again. They said his results are borderline so not bad but they want them done again to decide what to do moving forward. I saw the main Doc thats been dealing with my Endo and he said he wants us to keep trying naturally until Oct then to go for IVF which is different to what the other Doc said in Feb as she wanted us to do these three months then go to fertility specialist. I said this and my Doc said we are very happy with your operation in Sep and don't want to start you on hormones before we have too, so lets see what the new test says then go from there. (I think he was really saying this is what I have decided) I am strangely relieved. I really am sick of hormones of any kind and am loving being myself! I think in the next few days I may feel disappointed not to have a date as such but fingers crossed lodes of BD maybe we can avoid the Oct appointment?! Hubby came with me and after I said to him you cant be avoiding my ovulation date etc any more as that stressing me out. He said he didnt realise he was! I tell you men you cant tell them as its too much pressure but if you only hint they dont get it We are going to talk more about it this weekend so fingers crossed we get a system? Maybe I will have to hang a hat on the front door for him to see when he gets home or something
So now three weeks till we can start again! Hope you ladies are having a good day xxx
