[Closed] Per Ardua Ad Astra

[Fezzle]

Fx for you lynny and bug!

Tui- she said that there was more chance of twins with Clomid. I told OH and he was all for it. When we first started TTC, he didn't seem keen on the idea of twins, but now that it's been taking so long, he sees the advantage of not having to go through TTC again, especially considering our ages.

I've had pains in my ovary area, though I wonder if it's something to do with the all sperm going up the tubes since before I O is when we start having more sex too.

 

[kwynia]

I had an all day general crampy/tenderness before O this month with a negative opk, then woke up the next day of with stronger cramping on one side and a positive opk. I was just starting to get concerned when it eased up. Then that night we BD I had tenderness in the same spot. Worried about endo (as I always have heavy periods, but don't normally have pain during sex) or possibly cysts cause I'm now 5 dpo and still getting occassional soreness from the same ovary? If this cycle isn't bfp then I will be going back to the obgyn anyway, I will tell him about O pain and see if it's normal or not.

 

[Tui]

I think I'd be excited to have twins now. Never would have said that at the beginning either!

Kwynia, I only have twinges, it never hurts. Not for more than a second anyway. I have seen other people say they get terrible pain but I've no idea if its normal. I could see why you would worry but with no other symptoms I'm sure it's nothing. Don't cysts come and go on their own?

If one more person says to me "just stop trying so hard and it'll happen" I think I'll scream!!!!!!!!!

It's just not that easy! Grr! Sorry ladies, just getting so fed up.

Blue - while I'm glad there's nothing wrong, I get the frustration of everything being unexplained

FX Lynny & Bug!

Fezzle - great that you have a plan in place now

Tui - except between m/c's 1 & 2, I've always felt my o, sharp twinges. However, since last m/c, it's been EXTREMELY painful all day, and in the days leading up to it, I've been twingey and crampy. This is the third cycle now, expecting to ovulate tomorrow or Tuesday and I've had pains the past couple of days.

Theres nothing like a 22 day cycle to kick you when you are down. Awesome. Pink spotting- which means AF will be here tonight or tomorrow.

Sorry bug!

 

[Lynny77]

Ahhhh Bug maybe it's implantation?

I hear you Bluefish! I've done it all. Relaxed, not relaxed, legs in the air everything.

Been cramping all day so I think af is about to rear her ugly head. You know when you just know it's going to start any minute? That's the feeling.

 

[cutieq]

I'm battling between doing nothing and do I start talking my temps again. There's a part of me that would like to know what's going on with my cycle especially after the loss and be able to tell my doctor where I am in the cycle but the other part of me thinks it's 100% pointless until they can tell me what's wrong.

I'm still spotting from the chemical but it's getting lighter finally. I'm praying I can get an appointment in the next week or two to at least test the progesterone.

 

[Lynny77]

Cutie this month I didnt do anything. I was up until we left on holiday and I hadn't ovulated yet but it's making me mental not knowing where I am. I know I'm nearing the end of the 2ww but is af due tomorrow? Wednesday? Yesterday? Who knows! I just like knowing where I am in my cycle. It's gives me a sense of control in this ttc process. That being said everyone is different! If temping is making you crazy maybe it's good to take a step back.

 

[cutieq]

It's not the temps that make me crazy. It's getting pregnant and then my body losing it. Temps actually kept me pretty sane. Like you, I think I might be better off knowing at minimum where I am. After my first chemical, AF was 9 days late and it drove me crazy.

 

[Tui]

Oh girls, sounds like we are all fed up right now.

I've just been winding myself up comparing my fsh and estradiol levels to whats considered normal. I couldn't work out why my paperwork said I was normal but the sites I was looking at were saying I was possibly looking at diminished ovarian reserve. Turns out estradiol is measured differently in different countries. Here its in pmol/l which is 3.67 times as much as what the US measures it in ! No wonder I was freaking out. Stupid woman!

I highly doubt it- this is how AF always starts. I just don't understand why she is so early... My "short" cycles are 25 days but usually around 27 days.

 

[Tui]

Did you o early bug, or has your lp shortened?

 

[Bug222]

I got a pos OPK on cd 12- same as last cycle - my LP was always 11ish days until the second MC- since then it has been 13 to 14 days. If AF is here tomorrow like I am expecting my LP would be 9 to 10 days

 

[Tui]

Hmmm that's a shame if it's shortened but I'm sure it's just a blip. Mine has been a regular 13 days but since my mc it has been 12, 15 and 12 again. I think the 15 may have been a chemical but can't be sure. Confusing really. Would be perfect timing for implantation spotting though. Hope it is bug.

 

[Bug222]

Deep down I hopeful it is IB- but my rational mind is telling me no. I guess I will know by tomorrow.

Has anyone else read a book about vampires, witches, werewolves etc by accident and actually found they enjoyed it so much they read the whole series ?

I have done that and it was only my the 5th book that i realised it was supposed to be erotica and i promptly stopped reading them after the werewolf shagged the human... Haven't accepted a book from that friend since haha..

On a side note, have my second scan tomorrow at 8 weeks am terrified cause its the exact same timing as finding out about the blighted ovum ...

 

[bluefish1980]

Good luck Taz. Fingers crossed it all goes smoothly for you.
