Well...AF showed up. I'm a little devastated. I knew I shouldn't get my hopes up after my first IUI but I really felt like it worked, like I really could be prego. Trying to keep my head up but it's hard.

So sorry AF got you R22

Oh R22, i'm so very sorry thinking of you






afm: temp is going up and no ferning this am. not even partial. but it's seemingly harder than i remember? you have to have the exact amount of saliva or it doesn't work. Had a neg on my opk last night. doesn't seem like any fertile cm either. it looks creamy. cramping and sore bbs so probably still coming but doesn't make me feel very confident seeing the temp go up today.

R22

FX for you mommyxofxone!

 

[mommyxofxone]

think it's a long cycle

 

[nolansmom]

Sorry the ugly witch showed up R22.. How annoying she can be!!!!

mommyxofxone - any news?

I haven't been in other treads and now with BFP I have checked betas twice (yes I'm OCD about it after chemical) - and they have gone from 24 10dpo to 103 13dpo which is fantastic and makes me feel completely relieved of the whole chemical thing.. Oddly enough I bought Soyx2x90tablets for next cycle and was planning on BD in Cuba for 12 days.. Now I will go to Cuba and BD just for fun....

The point is (long winded) but I have 2xsoy that haven't been opened that I would gift (I'll cover postage) if someone or 2 people want to try it?? It's the GNC concentrate 50ml.. Not sure what site rules are but I'm not selling them - just gifting someone part of this thread..

Is that allowed?

I think it's allowed since you're not charging people? and trying to give to someone to help out

afm.... temp up again, ferning gone, opks have all been neg (haven't tested today yet) bb soreness gone, cramping gone.... we dtd last night but really scared something is wrong with the opks and i've missed my surge. but my normal o day is cd 21 (after looking back on old charts) so i really don't know, and feel totally confused and like i missed this month. really down.

Hey ladies!

Just wanted to say I'm sorry I've been pretty quiet, but I'm lurking! Wednesday night I had this horrible stomach pain and ended up going to the ER. Long story short...c-scan points to pancreatitis but my labs really don't point to that. My stomach still hurts but not as bad as that 1st night, so I spend most of my time in bed, sleeping. And I'm on a liquid diet...best diet ever! I'm down 4 lbs already I'm just joking, I would love to eat solid food...it just irritates my stomach.

Anyway, as for TTC...of course this would happen during my fertile window OH refuses to have sex with me because I am in pain The 1st night before things got bad I was able to fake it like oh yea the motrin is helping, NOT! lol Hopefully I get better before my OPK hits pos.

Good luck to all our ladies waiting to OV and waiting to test! Now that we are officially into august I have changed the thread name again and the August testers are on top! Come oooon lucky August!

 

[ClandestineTX]

And LillyTame... sorry for not thinking of this while on your journal... if it's pancreatitis, maybe try moving up the food chain with things that are not going to require the pancreas to work/ release insulin - like a teensy bit of meat - if the crackers/ other heavy on the carbohydrate items are causing irritation.

 

[jessthemess]

Did the first OPK, for this cycle, (not first ever) and its CD9 and a negative. This was my first clomid cycle and I don't know when to expect to ovulate. Typically I do not until CD19 or so. But figured I would start early to be sure to catch it! I am starting back up on temping tomorrow too. Haven't temped in forever because I didn't have a cycle for seven and a half months! Fingers x'ed for this cycle!

Sorry for all the ladies who started good luck and baby thoughts for next cycle !!!

 

[mommyxofxone]

looking back on old charts, it goes 30, 40 something, 30, 40 something. So if this is the next one since last was 30, i may have to wait 10 more days ugh. See i wasn't temping in those , (seems to be 41 or 42 days every other one.) i just wrote when i got af. and the longer cycles, af was here a day or two longer than normal... and this one was longer than normal by a day. Great. so i could have a 41 or 42 day cycle brewing. Well, at least i have a pattern of some sort. DOn't know if that kind of cycle is good or bad. Do you ladies know anything about longer cycles? shouldn't really affect anything right?

 

[ClandestineTX]

If you are regularly having cycles longer than 35 days, I'd mention it to your doctor. There's tons of relatively minor things that can delay ovulation, but some of the things that make cycles long can also interfere with TTC (i.e. PCOS, hypothyroidism, etc.)

I've never found any drs that really could help me out unless they put me on bc, and i hate that, my cycles have been pretty whacked since dd, yeah :/ but i really don't want to go back on anything unless i'm done with babies. Really hope it doesn't cause much issue


i just got partial ferning again on my microscope after days of nothing, which could mean it just picked up my estrogen the first time, and then i'm really getting ready to o which would put me most likely... cd 21. i'm hoping it's that, because i don't want to wait til cd28! this is the second ferning i've seen so crossing my fingers that my opks pick something up.

ff is saying i just o'd on cd 15. which is a bit early and again opks and ferning didn't confirm so, not sure. We dtd the last two nights, and everything says we did a good with timing. So now i'm just waiting to see if it really was O and if i'm in the tww or not? lol so much waiting.

small cramps starting again this am.

I agree birth control isn't the solution, mommyxofxone! They've never taken labs to look at your hormone levels? Ever? Because irregular cycles (< 21 days, < 35 days, or range more than 7 days in length) are almost always the result of a hormone imbalance somewhere and especially because you are TTC, fixing that would likely help you out big time! What is wrong with half the doctors in this country?

nope no one ever did anythign for it!!!

never did labs or anything. AND before i went on bc, i was really really irregular. i mean, i would get it one week, off a week, get it for TWO weeks, off a week, have it again, not have it for weeks, get it for a week, skip like a month, finally on bc it regulated me. When i came off, always about 30-33 day cycle. then after dd? had one 6 months after dd, another 6 months later, stopped bfing at 13 months, came almost every 2 months ish after that until jan when it finally regulated to htis new pattern of 30, 41.

 

[ClandestineTX]

I would find a doctor that will look into it, because they are definitely irregular! Even with PCOS or something ovulation still happens, just not as regularly as it does for someone without it. Seems silly to fight an uphill battle if you don't have to!

 

[mommyxofxone]

well i figure if it's only moving O around, not really bothering me personally. If i wasn't trying for a baby i really wouldn't be bothered by it honestly!

 

[jessthemess]

As long as you are sure that it is only moving O around. The hormonal imbalances that cause irregular cycles can also make it hard to get pregnant and hard to sustain a pregnancy. The most common is a progesterone deficiency. And that's as easy as taking a pill to fix.

 

[Jett55]

Sprained my foot yesterday the good news is it should be better by my next fertile window if this cycles another bust to be honest I don't have high hopes for this cycle. Just a few more days to go

 

[MIZZYD]

Oh No Jett, how that happened? I hope you are ok and not in pain.
As for me I went to pee like at 6am and noticed some brownish color on the toilet paper, kinda just ignored it and went back to sleep, at 10am I woke up to check my temp and it was still the same it has been the past few days, and still some more spotting after on the toilet paper. I am worried that I am getting my period too early since I am only 9DPO, I usually always spot like 2 days before. I hope I do not have short lutheal phases, now just waiting.
