Cycle Buddy Central!

I fell back to sleep at 9am-12pm. I took another dollar general pregnancy test and it is also neg. My ankles are swollenish and I just changed into actual cloths and took off my sports bra and my boobs bounced and OMG I nearly cried due to the pain. If I'm not pregnant this month I'm going to go to the doctor to find out why my body is tripping out so damn badly.
 
Haus-I hope that off feeling you are having is a good sign! I also hope your fur baby is ok :hugs:
 
Just got back from my appt. Good and bad news...Good news is I love this dr. and he is so thorough, like night and day from that last RE I saw. The bad news is I won't be on a medicated cycle again probably until October. He wants to run a lot of tests and get to the bottom of why my cycles are screwed up. He wants to fix that problem then tackle the whole getting pregnant thing. I am so impatient so the thought of having to wait that long kills me

I am going to the lab tomorrow morning to get bloodwork done for a ton of different things including: FSH, Estradiol, Anti mullerian hormone, TSH, prolactin, testosterone, insulin, hemoglobin, glucose tolerance, rubella antibodies. I can't wait to get the results for all of that! DH scheduled his SA for a week from today. Also I am hoping to schedule a test called saline infusion sonogram between day 4 and 11 this cycle if there is an opening. He wants to do all of that first then if all is clear he wants to do the HSG next cycle. I asked if I could at least get started next cycle on some meds while I get the HSG done and he said no because on the HSG cycle because of all the irritation there is a higher risk of miscarraige. I never heard of that but whatever I guess I will trust him. I am happy with all the tests he is performing and how thorough he is but I really won't have a realistic chance to get pregnant again until October at the earliest and that makes me sad :cry:
 
Rachel :hugs: I am seriously thinking about taking a TTC break for this month. I have all my tests and fertilitea this month but I think DH and I are going to NTNP this month. I think I'll just keep temping and that is all. I feel like maybe I'm waaaay too focused on it happening and maybe it's the reason I haven't conceived yet. It's our 8th month this month.

Don't worry I'll still be checking in on all you ladies of course though but I def feel like kickin back, having some drinks and just trying to take it easy for awhile.
 
Sweetpea I think I am going to do the same this cycle and maybe next as well. I have to focus on other things so I don't lose my mind in the meantime. I will probably still temp starting around CD 14 but I'm taking a break now. As for coming on here I still will but I am going to try to cut back for a bit and focus on other things.
 
i'm sad to see you two go, even if partially for a little while. if it does the trick and you get accidentally prego, you better come tell us first. don't go! :cry:

meanwhile, i will be being overly dramatic, crying over every little thing and trying to :sex: it up. cd 9 for me and i'm hoping my cycle is getting shorter again. i saw a pregnant lady at the bakery this morning, and a daddy with a baby strapped to his tummy. curses i want one or two. i've taken to praying that my OH will get a great job in some godforsaken little town and i will get to live the dream: barefoot and pregnant. the fact that this has been so hard makes it ok for me to indulge in utter fantasy.

i'm back at work for the first day after glamping (the so called glamorous camping).

OH MY GOSH I GOT A TICK

and had to go get this hot doctor take it out yesterday lol he was colombian.

i saw my xboyfriend yesterday randomly walking down the street in san francisco and got to tell him im engaged now

lkbkmom, keep spilling it i love your posts.

rachel, thank goodness the doc is thorough. what a long road this is : ( at least you are going about it all the right way, with all bases covered. you are going to be in tip top prego shape here before you know it. and then the crazy thing (i bet) is when you get prego, that time will fly by and your life will change permanently forever. i'm sure there is no way around the fact that you will look back once in a while when you have time to breathe and long for these lazier days.

sweetpea, :cry:

haus, what's the update on you? how is our kitty kat? ....going to stalk ur chart. who else is going to be in the 2ww wait with me in the second half of august?

one more thing about me, i'm doing a little bit of that strenuous early morning schedule here and there throughout the summer. my next early wake up days are friday and monday, so my chart's gonna be useless.. but i'm temping anyway darnit.

oh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! new person! xoxoxoxoxoxoxxox let me catch up on my reading. thanks so much for joining us. :hugs:
 
libbyam, about that drink..... i know, right?! it sounds delicious. i am so going for it asap. lbkmom, how exactly do you make this.... this "colorado bulldog"

are there dangers of milk curdling if you do it wrong? what kind of milk do ya use? do you use ice? we needs to know.
 
Horsey-I said I will try to cut back try being the keyword :haha: I wil still likely be around, I am just going to try to focus on other things a little more. Normally I obssess on BNB all day reading things and posting because I am home bored and have time. I am still going to pop on liklely once or twice a day during the week but I am going to just check in for updates and try to move on to focusing on other things.

I MAY be in the TWW with you the 2nd half of August if my body cooperates. That will be remained to be seen though. I am on CD 4 and I went to get my bloodwork this morning. They checked a ton of things and they took 7 vials of blood, the most I have ever had drawn at once. The lab tech said it was because they were checking so many things. I had to do the glucose resistance test which took forever. They take your blood first as a baseline and then they have you drink this REALLY sugary drink that has 75 grams of sugar in it, then they put me in a room with a TV and a recliner so I could relax and wait 2 whole hours then they take my blood again to see how my body metabolized the sugars. I scheduled my saline infusion sonogram for Tuesday and DH gets his SA done on Tuesday I hope all the tests come back ok or if something is wrong it is a somewhat easy fix.

horsey sorry to hear you got a tick, yikes! :shock: What you said is so true that one day I will look back and miss the lazier days. I need to really take it in and enjoy it while I can and look at the positive side of not having kids yet :thumbup:
 
Well early this morning I got bored at work and I took an ovulation test with me LOL I've been taking ovulation tests since 5dpo and they have been light and last night it was darker then it has been. I'm hopeful, I'm also trying really really hard not to start using my FRERs until Friday!!! Which is why I have been taking the ovulation tests and cheapos LOL.

whoah. the opk is certainly darker.... i have no idea how that works. fingers crossed for you.

rachel ok just you "try* to cut back. you like kitties? i will post more kitties for you :) what else do you like so i can "help" you "cut back"
 
I hate blue dyes on preg test and opks but the OPKs pick up both LH hormones and gHC hormones for some odd reason.
 
I love kitties! Here is a picture I found and it made me laugh so hard I almost peed myself!
