FXd for good levels this time Lamago

 

[lamago]

Thanks! One more day to go until I find out my progesterone levels. Sigh, how fast (and then slow) everything goes.

I think but don't quote me Clandie will know better or Snacks or Lamago but after O you need good progesterone in order to be able to sustain a pregnancy if your levels are too low they can give you medicine to help the levels i think low progesterone can lead to short LPs that is my understanding anyway

Good luck Lamago

Great news Snack

Lots of ladies

You did a super good job! That's basically it. Progesterone causes the uterine lining to thicken to support an embryo, until the placenta is fully developed. hCG actually causes a feedback loop to cause progesterone to be secreted after the length of a normal LP (preventing a new cycle start). It's also why PMS and early pregnancy symptoms are identical.

FX. Just remember, even if they are really low - it's REALLY easy to treat with supplemental progesterone. Biggest thing is knowing whether or not your need it.

AFM... no anniversary BFP, but I did get an early anniversary +OPK on holiday. Hoping all the sex we had all weekend pays off with a BIG FAT POSITIVE. Plus a psychic told my husband I was pregnant now or would be very soon (much longer version in my journal). So... FX... and carrying on.

 

[lamago]

Clandie,

I actually read you post already too, what a story, I bet you do end up having twins with so many in your family!

 

[txbiscuit]

Good luck lamago! And good luck Clandie! We are due for some more BFPs in here.

 

[Ameli]

Yes it's definitely time for the baby crops to produce some more BFPs!

 

[LillyTame]

I know...my testing thread had 8 BFPs back in July, we've only had one since then! I feel jinxed! I would have closed the thread this month but everyone wanted me to keep it open. If we don't get 3 BFPs this cycle I might dump it

 

[ClandestineTX]

I would totally be OK with a singleton pregnancy - just any pregnancy.

Woke up cold, coverline temp and all. Still cold. Having a dark, damp, dreary day in Texas. Really just shot my optimism to hell, hopefully, my temp (and optimism) will return tomorrow. I'm feeling like we need a break from sex, plus Hubster got up at 4 AM to cram for a test he has at 7 PM tonight - I'll likely not see him until after 10 PM.

On the up-side, O-spotting is gone (finally) and had slow-moving BM (not quite "constipation"), which is usually a post-O symptom for me, so FX that I actually did ovulate at least once!

And for those of you who don't follow my journal... my grandmother (father's mother) is the oldest of 9, two of her younger sisters are fraternal twins. She went on to have 5 sons, no twins, of her own. My mother's father was a fraternal twin, he and his brother have one older sister. My mom was an only child (her mother miscarried two single pregnancies at 5 months, after she had my mom). And my parents had my brother by accident and me within three months of trying. So it's like part of my family is super-duper fertile and other parts, not very fertile at all - so it's anyone's guess where I'll fall.

 

[Twag]

OMG your going to have twins jumping the gun maybe but I don't care

I hope you are right! I'll just keep my FX that the anniversary luck and weekend away did the trick. This is going to be the longest TWW ever, for sure!

 

[lamago]

Didn't get a call from Doc today, they are like that sometimes and so I'm thinking of switching, just have to wait for insurance to kick in.

. Twins,twins sooo exciting!

 

[Snackimals]

When are you testing Lamago?

 

[Ameli]

Ugh, sorry they left you hanging today Lamago. Hopefully they call and let you know something tomorrow.

 

[lamago]

Hopefully, I'm actually take te progesterone suppositories so I'm not as worried about it. But still it would be nice to know.

I should be for Friday but usually clomid extends my lp. Without it I have between 25 and 28 day cycles.

I'll probably wait for af as long as possible. I hate the bfn. Plus I'm still feeling cramping on and off so I'm worried af is coming. Then progesterone might be keeping it from coming. When doc calls they will let me know when to stop. Hopefully.

 

[Ameli]

I hope stays away!

 

[lamago]

I hope so too, these cramps feelings are really putting me off.

 

[Twag]

Sending ladies

 

[Snackimals]

Well, I am totally here with you Lamago!
We, you and I, are the last ones left of this cycle- with no AF.

I also refuse to test, will NOT see another BFN. I have a blood-test scheduled now for Monday, should I not have AF by the weekend. (Although seriously, that would be insane! My LP is not that long, I should be on my rag by tomorrow! So, if the weekend rolls along and 'nothing'... I'll probably have some psycho-break-down and lock myself in my bedroom for 24 hrs).

 

[lamago]

It will be a tough weekend for sure, but if it doesnt come them Monday might be the day for that BFP! =) I'm keeping faith for you!

I called my doc today and left a message, we'll see. Since i'm taking progesterone I think I will be forced to test on Saturday, when I'm supposed to have AF and its 14 dpo then test and if no BFP i stop progesterone. Thats what I read on the blogs, just waiting for doc to confirm.

 

[Fezzle]

Fx, Snack and lamago!

lamago- I hope you hear from your Dr soon!
