Disco Derail! - TTCAL/PAL Discussion and Support!

[heart tree]

Allie, I don't think your chart looks bad at all. Have a look at my 3 pregnancy charts on 9/30/08, 11/11/09 and 5/17/10. You'll see drops on all of them, but I stayed above the coverline except on my first pregnancy which was clearly an implantation dip. Yes, the progesterone will make you sweat. Oddly, I'm not even taking progesterone and have been dripping in sweat. I wonder if it is the Femera.

By the way, I got pregnant all 3 times using pre-seed. I tried Conceive Plus and didn't get pregnant. I'm not convinced that Conceive Plus is better to be honest. I think they both work well as I've heard lots of women getting pregnant on both. I was trying for 8 months without anything and then the first cycle I used Pre-seed, I got pregnant for my first time. Just sayin'!

Ok, so I hate to whine, but if Monday was bad, so far Tuesday is treating me like crap. I woke up to a kitchen full of ants!!! GRRRR! We tend to get them in the rainy season, but not as bad as this morning. I almost missed my bus to work because I spent my morning killing ants and scrubbing my counter tops. Please let the rest of the day be mellow. Please!

YEAY!!!!!!! Sugar, thats a great FSH score - well bloody done you (like you have conscious control over it)

Under 6 = 'excellent' so you are pretty damned close to excellent

I think you should discuss the ratio with your dr though, Im sure its absolutely fine and most sites say thats ok, but a lower LH might indicate something to discuss with the FS according to what this Dr says, referring to a ratio of 6.1 FSH to 4.3 LH

https://www.askmedicaldoctor.com/medical/doctor/index.php?xq=39060

although he also says the difference might be down to the measurements the individual lab takes - also hypopituitarism is usually associated with low FSH and LH, not a different ratio so i suspect he might be talking bollocks, but ask FS just in case

Allie, that temp drops looks suspicious to me. I will be watching for a rise tomorrow. Eyes crossed.

AFM: i am back in phantom pregnancy mode, having pretend implantation cramps (at 3dpo, ahem). I love how i still have phantom pregnancies when i havent even had sex.

ps my one time i got pregnant, i was using preseed too. Maybe in the photo, they are all camera shy and hiding at the edges.

i am still advocating a cup of green tea a day for ewcm.

I had phantom pregnancies when I was still a virgin! I guess I've always been crazy...every month was always a potential baby in my head whether or not I had sex...I never got the "talk" so that might have had a lot to do with it!

Oh no - I've already ordered Conceive Plus...need more positive CP stories ladies! Glad pre-seed works though.

I drink like 5 cups of green tea a day...me thinks too many but really if it's for TTC there's never enough, right???

 

[jenny25]

aww dawn that is postive hunny yay you and me on the same day yay

i know i will need to jump him when he gets in maybe i should nap now so when he comes in im more awake lol xx

 

[NatoPMT]

hahaha!! you are defo more mental than me bleu. You are a high ranking mentaller.

I am putting my stern face on to remind you that too much green tea can inhibit vitamin uptake, inc folic acid.

bugger though, do you take EPO? green tea is supposed to work in conjunction with EPO

also, cough medicine gave me a tiny bit once.

edt: Heart, boo again at another crap day squishing ants.

Ok girls havnt read back but need some advice and well a hug to be honest have had a lovely day out but on the bus home it was pacted with tiny babies and pregnant women and it was all to much I could feel the tears coming and couldnt stop them managed to make it home before I broke down in sobs which I did on my bedroom floor steves not home yet I just feel horrid it was just to much The trigger I've had some bleeding this morning and a lot of cramping its dark red/red blood similar to AF I assume that it is starting but now its just pinky but only when I wipe nothing in the loo or anything sorry if to much info I'm so confused I'm at the most 10 dpo AF isn't meant to be due till saturday so I guess I cant be pregnant just as I got my hopes up and now I'm worried that I've started so early assuming thats whats going on is this just a one off never had this before I've always had the same cycle 29-39 days should I be worried, should I go and speak to my dr I'm so confused and then seeing all these tiny babies was just to much its not fair. I'm so sorry for a me me post and to be so whingy its just hit me really hard in the last half hour.

Right going to go back and catch up.

 

[grandbleu]

Hugs for you Lucy...sorry for the sucky ride home with all those fertile ladies and babies. UGH!

 

[dawny690]

Jenny how many days is your cycle? xxxx

 

[NatoPMT]

ahh, Luce, this is one of those times where you can have one of my bagged hugs



I think at this early stage after mc, anything can happen with cycles, and its not something to worry about. I know the disappointment is there if this isnt your month, and the reminder in the form of children everywhere but remember when Vic said that her dr told her that 5 cycles in a row is considered investigating if this new cycle type is the norm

If its spotting or early af, its nothing to worry about at this stage.

[dawny690]

Lucy xxxx

 

[jenny25]

hugs lucy xxxxx

dawn - it depends hun i can have a lp of 14 days start spotting on 14dpo or 13dpo or sometimes af doesnt come till 15dpo so my cycle can be from 31-32 days hun just depends when i ovulate hunny xxx

 

[hoping:)]

to everyone having a crap day. I am too... I am just so tired and out of it. I was having af cramps yesterday and was sure I was about to start but nothing yet... I'm sure she will show her face in the next few days.

Lucy- I wouldn't worry too much about your cycle because like Nato said cycles after mcs always take a little time to regulate. Sorry for your run in with all the pregos and babies... it just feels like another kick in the face. I have moments when I just can't help but want to scream or cry but it is natural.

Jenny & Dawn- yay for ovulation FX you both catch that eggy!

 

[dawny690]

Ooooo whats your EDD Jenny? Mine would be 3rd Sept 2011 sounds like we wouldnt be far behind each other my cycle last time was 36 days xxxx

 

[VGibs]

Lucy - I hate to be the pregnant girl saying this...when I had my last MC there were four other people in the waiting room. Two women were pregnant and were chatting non stop about how amazing being pregnant was and the one other lady was screaming at her little baby girl because she was crying. My OH actually stood up and told the pregnant women that we were in the middle of loosing our baby and asked for some sensitivity. I remeber feeling so hopeless and so angry that I was here with all these people who were where I wanted to be. So I just kind of melted into my OH and started sobbing in the waiting room.

There is nothing to be sorry for or to worry about and if you felt like crying on the bus then you should have darn well cried your heart out and hang what anyone would have thought. As mothers of angels we deserve to feel these saddness' and to have broken hearts. As unfair and awful as it may be, it is still something we all struggle with and we all have our own ways of dealing with it. So I say cry and be sad, you are entitled.

 

[sugarlove]

Allie that's not a temp drop, it's way above the coverline! I've heard great things about conceive plus and preseed so stop your worrying

Lucy, sorry you've had an upsetting day. Like the others said, after a mc your cycles can be messed up for a while. I wouldn't read too much into any bleeding at the mo. It's still early days since your mc

Thanks for the advice Lucy. I've read in my Zita West about normal levels, and she says anything under 7 is good for LH and 6-8 is good for FSH. I'm putting my FSH in the under 6 category which is excellent as I was only just above it at 6.2
I've also got prolactin levels back. They are at 109. I freaked when I looked in my book, but I've just realised that they are measured in ml/l rather than ng, so I think I'm ok. Where are my E2 and testosterone results god damn it to pt me out of my misery! Think I'm going to have to wait till tomorrow for those Arrrrrgh!
