Scerena, thanks it is hard to here a Dr that is so close to me, tell me he can't help me anymore Rather sad

yes, IVF is always an option, along with ER... Just financially is an issue, plus the fact that I need to be monitored more that normal, makes the costs go up even more.

 

[pink mum]

thanx scerena
dun worry PRETTYPINK,it will b fine soon

 

[Justwantababy]

Oh pretty, hugs to you
But ultimately it's a great thing that your doctor is being cautious....it's just not worth the risk with your health. I have faith in acupuncture, and I think it's a great option for you just now.

It will all work out honey, I'm sure xx

 

[beanhunter]

Thinking of you pretty.
My temp hasn't gone up yet so can't join you in the 2ww. It's lonely here!

[TeddyBearPug]

pretty-it is good that your dr is being so cautious especially with your history. I think a FS will be a good thing and give you more answers. Has he scheduled your appt yet?

JWB-no progesterone test for me. I'm just waiting it out. Since i am temping, i can see my ovulations. I had my FS test me on my first cycle of temping and it was correct, so i'm just going with it.

 

[pink mum]

Hi girld h r u all doing

 

[prettynpink29]

Thanks Girls! All of you are such a great support and comfort! We haven't really told anyone we are TTC. But a close friend of mine that I work with told me recently that they have been trying for 5 months for #2. After talking to OH, I think I am gonna open up to her about our struggle. It is nice to have someone so close TTC and having struggles also.

Question girls..

Since this is an all natural cycle, Dr. decided he would do progesterone test to check for ovulation 5 days past 1st +opk.... From what I have read, you are suppose to get that blood test done 7dpo? What should I do?

TBP, here in CA I can just make an appt to see FS all on my own. Most of them wont see you till you have been TTC for 1 year, but OB says I will not have a problem getting in with my history of cysts and endo. But we are going to wait until I see FS (endo specialist) at the end of the month. He doesn't do IVF, but does IUI and we are curious to see how far he would go with helping us and what his opinion is on the whole situation. Since he has been my Dr since 2009, I feel fairly comfortable with getting his opinion also.

 

[TeddyBearPug]

Pretyy-It is a good idea to open up to your friend who is ttc. She may need your support as much as you need hers. Its always good to have people to talk to.
I would follow your dr's advice and do exactly as he says. I'm sure they have progesterone levels for all days after ovulation to know where you should be. So if you do it your way (7dpo) and he thinks you did it his way (5days after +) the numbers will be off. Does that make sense?

 

[Justwantababy]

Hey pretty, I think TBP is right - it's important that you and you Dr are on the same page when looking at the results. Or you could always question (in an 'I'm interested' rather than a 'Do u know what you're talking about?' way....in my experience Drs can have sensitive egos!) why he's ordering a 5dpo test rather than a 7dpo...he might have a specific reason, or he might be equally happy for you to move it to 7dpo. Or even do both.

After my trigger shot was given too early last month I was so cross at myself for not speaking up and voicing my concerns. If you say nothing, then your 5dpo progesterone looks low when u get the results, you'll only drive yourself nuts thinking what if you'd got a 7dpo test.

At the end of the day you're the customer here, you're entitled to ask!

 

[prettynpink29]

Dr also said he would like to see my level around 25... I am hoping my body can make it there with help of the soy

TBP, thanks! Yea that does make since... I read around on the internet and I found most of the tests are ordered ranging from 5-8dpo, so I will just go with Drs advice.

JWAB, thanks! Yes, I did ask my Dr why 5dpo and not 7dpo, he said because that is the way he always orders progesterone tests to confirm O, he said every Dr is different (which I know LOL). But he told me I could chose to do 7dpo if I thought it would make a difference, but he didn't think it would matter either way. Just going to go with his advice and do 5dpo.

 

[Justwantababy]

Good plan - sounds like you've got a great doctor. Good luck chickee xx

 

[beanhunter]

Morning all. Think I got a temp rise so hoping FF will give me those nice red lines tomorrow!

 

[Justwantababy]

Ooh nice beanhunter! I'm hoping I get my lines in tomorrow as I know I ov'd on Friday (after my trigger). But a bit concerned my temp hasn't exactly rocketed...hopefully it's just a slower riser.
