Cycle 1 day 1. Who's with me? *update* It's a girl! Congrats baby_bray!!!

thanks. me too. i'm so emotional this week. just thinking about it makes me tear up. really hoping it all turns out well.
 
That is heartbreaking! I know a girl who would get a positive test at home and go to the Dr.s and her tests would be negative or inconclusive (like a level of 6). This happened multiple times, so I don't think it was due to evaps.

if it was the same batch of tests, it could be evaps. but if she had level 6, isn't that pregnant? anything above a 5 means pregnant i think. maybe she had a chemical
 
And Moter... I just looked at your chart. I'd keep testing if I were you. Your temp is way up after a fall. I think you may have a chance. I could be wrong but your chart looks hopeful. Twinkie may have a better insight as she's been charting longer.
 
Moter- You definately are not out yet! Your temps are still high so there is a chance it could just be too early.

Well just went to the bathroom and I am sure AF is starting early cause there was lots of red blood on the TP (I know tmi) and I am starting to cramp. So if this is the start of AF, that puts my last cycle at 21 days with a 7 day LP (and that is while I am on progesterone supplements). Freaking great...
 
I just counted up that I only have 38 days till my second trimester. .......I pray that everything stays well.
 
well, i am sick right now so that's probably why my temps have gone up. caught some bug over the holidays. hoping it won't be too bad by new years eve or i will be stuck at home all night. i think i'm out cause cervix just dropped really low. happened last month around this time too. and i'm cramping again. oh well, there's always next month right? i'm looking back at my previous charts and i just realized this is only my 5th cycle ttcal, so maybe it's not all that unusual that we haven't gotten a bfp yet.

twinkie - sorry AF got you. is there anything else dr's can give you to lengthen your lp? have you tried the vitex? that is supposed to help. it's that fertilaid supplement. i read reviews on amazon that it helped regulate women's cycles and lengthened their lp.

Well I think I am going to avoid all natural supplements next cycle and hopefully I can get in at my OB/GYN to see what he says. If he won't help I will look into those. I might see if he will give me a stronger dose of progesterone to take. I kind of expect him to put me on clomid at some point.

I kind of want to see what my GP says about my thyroid, because I read somewhere that low progesterone and underactive thyroid are linked. (I don't really know which causes which). So I am kind of just waiting this next cycle out. We will still "try" unless on of my Dr.s say not to, but maybe give myself a natural cycle.

Have you ever taken B6 to lengthen your LP?
 
So sorry Twinkie. Really hate that the witch got you.

Berdc.... I can't believe it. That's amazing.

I have a question... Should I go by when I think I ovulated or by lmp for my date. I ovulated on day 12 and have a short cycle so they put my at the 6th by lmp and the 3rd by ov guess it doesn't matter. Lol
 
Moter... I still have a niggling positive feeling for you. Can't explain it.
 
hope you're right mail! for my first, the dr's went by my lmp for due date, but i went by my o date. you took opk's so you know when you o'd. i ended up having ds 5 days before my due date, 8 days before my lmp date. i think o date is more accurate, but in the end i guess it doesn't really matter all that much. LO will come when he/she is good and ready.
 
Hey girls...

Much better day with twinges yesterday. Trying to remember what, if anything, we did differently. Still chillin in bed playing words with friends, reading posts and watching water birth videos. Wow! Women's bodies sure are amazing.

Glad you all pulled up that conception information. Hope that gives you some hope.

Well, hubby just asked what we're doing today, so I guess laying in the bed isn't an option, eh?:blush:
 
Nurse just called with first HCG numbers...2498! I'm between 20 and 18 dpo. That sound ok?

Doc wants another quant on Monday and to schedule an u/s for next week too. I already had the Hysterosonogram scheduled for Friday and that included the regular transvaginal u/s, but I think I want to schedule one for sooner than Friday. ???
 
So, AF has officially gotten me. I'm out for this cycle... onto the next one I suppose...
 
Sorry, Colta. At least we now know that it's normal to take a few cycles to catch the eggy.
 
OK, back from the Dr. He thinks I am either hyperthyroid or anemic. I disagree. I think I am hypothyroid. First off, I only had about 4 weeks in my life where I had any symptoms of hyperthyroid. Secondly, How in the hell can I be anemic taking prenatal vitamins every day for the past 8 months???? I think my Dr. was focusing on the fact that I lost 20lbs in a short period of time and my heart rate was really high, but he didn't really listen to any of my other symptoms... Oh well he wrote me a script to get my blood test that is all that matters.

The script is for:
Fe (Iron cause he thinks I am anemic which I really don't think I am)
TSH (Thyroid stimulating hormone)
TSI (Thyroid stimulating immunoglobulin)
Free T3 (part of the thyroid hormone)
CBC (complete blood count)
BMP (basic metabolic panel)
Lipid (Cholesterol)
Vit D
Vit B12

And my bleeding seems to be letting up, so now I don't know if this was CD1 or just heavy spotting... wth. I guess I will see what the rest of the day brings before I make a decision on how to classify this. It was heavy enough I needed a tampon and I was passing red blood and clots, but now it has turned kind of brown, but my progesterone supplement should be kicking in so maybe in a few hours the bleeding will pick back up? I guess we'll see. I was going to call my OB/GYN today and see if I could make an appointment, but now I kind of want to wait and see what the rest of this cycle does. I don't think I will get a BFP out of it 'cause it was a lot of bleeding, but it would make me feel better if my LP was longer than 7 days. Hmmmm confusing.
