dr said that with pregnancy tests being sensitive enough to pick up preg hormones up super early is actually a bad thing, the emotional pain that women go through knowing they have lost a baby even in the earliest stages is awful, considering in the past we would not have been able to know so early

he has advised me not to test so soon next time

will i listen to his advice??

will i heck

seriously he doesnt understand our need to know, even if it doesnt go the way we hope

I think it is also educational to know too. If a woman continues to have CM she may want to see a specialist after a while to make sure everything is fine. I am very thankful for all the genetic testing, follicle testing and numerous other procedures etc. that are available to make sure the body is prepared, healthy and ready to carry a baby to full term.

 

[froliky2011]

Oops, that CM could be mistaken for another CM, but you know what CM I am referring to.

I'm so sorry ticking xx

Hi Everyone, I am new to this site. I posted on the How To/Success Stories with the list of questions on DIY insemination. I am 38, single, havne't found that mr. right yet, so I am just hoping for "mr. ok". But- I am not ok with not being a mom. I just did my first home insem Tuesday 10/25. I think i did it to early though (day 11). I am absolutely freaking out, think of nothing else but- did it work, did it work....it didn't work, etc. etc. So- I am happy to of found this forum! Look forward to getting to know you all.

I managed after the 4th time ... You have to be patient but it works. the longest was to search the sperm donor (site co-parents net) ... and I am 3 months pregnant.

Welcome Cary,

Feel free to ask any questions you may have. CD 11 sounds a bit early for insemination unless you have a short cycle and tend to ovulate early, but I hope it works for you soon!

 

[Nimyra]

As for me, my temps have finally started to rise so I'm feeling more hopeful that I ovulated on CD 17 or CD 18. Now in the TWW... can't say I'm terribly optimistic about this cycle but we shall see!

 

[LunaBean]

Yaye for 2ww! Good luck!

Im in 3rd tri from today!! And 6 months from LMP 2moro! Bumps getting huge!

 

[mammawannabe]

good luck to all the ladies and fx in TWW...i'm not quite there yet. i am still waiting to Ov. I usually O on CD16, getting a +opk on cd15, however i am still neg -on the OPK today (cd15)...getting nervous and frustrated that i am going to Ov late or not at all...I usually have 28-30 day cycles....

I have been inseming since cd8 every other day and daily since cd 12...

has any one with reg cycles get +opk's on different days?

thanks
krista

 

[LunaBean]

Krista,

I have to know, how did you manage to convince your donor to donate every other day from cd8 and daily since cd 12? Many donors are only willing to donate 1 to 3 times per cycle, usually starting from +OPK.

Hopefully you will ovulate soon. I was a couple days off this month, which can happen. Try not to stress!

Luna,

Your bump is looking great!
