Allie I started my period at 11. I was told my follicle count is above average for my age. I dont think you have to worry. I think it is possible to have more than one dominant follicle which would mean twins. I'm guessing your doc was only looking for dominant follicles. I've never had a regular gyno check my follicle count. Only fertility specialists have. I think you would have to ask for it as it isn't normal practice for someone your age.

 

[Megg33k]

You're right, Amanda. While its possible to have more than 1 dominant follicle, its not common unless taking meds. The dominant follicle is the one that will go on to produce that cycle's egg. There would have been more antral follicles.

 

[Allie84]

Thanks ladies! I feel better now. I'm always looking for something to worry about. I think a lot of us can relate.

 

[Megg33k]

Me? NEVER!

My other pregnant friend who was due around the same time as me had her baby this evening. His name is Hudson!

I'm happy for them and also relieved both of my friends who were due around the same time as me have finally given birth. It was kind of weighing on my mind that they were pregnant and about to give birth. Now that they both have actual babies, and my mind never even made it that far at all when I got pregnant, it feels very removed from me...if that makes sense. It's no longer an 'Oh, if I was still pregnant I'd be where they are' but more of a 'Here's another friend who had a baby' kinda thing.

I had the most vivid dream last night it felt so surreal. I acctually thought it was happening til I woke up

I was shopping in a shop and I was looking at something on the shelf and all of a sudden I fell to my knees and was on my hands and knees like a dog, then I started screaming and panting, someone who worked there came upto me and asked if I was ok and I said does it look like im ok? Call an ambulance and my husband before I have this baby in your shop yes I was in labour, when I got to hospital I was pushing and I thought the baby was coming there and then but something else came out of the wrong hole I had pooed on the hospital bed :blush I was so embarressed but the nurse was so nice and told me it was common and not to worry anyway I carry on pushing and half an hour later (in the dream) along came a baby boy I was over the moon, then I started pushing again I thought this must be the afterbirth? Then why does it feel the same as when I pushed with my son? Anyway pushed and pushed and 15 minutes later out popped a baby girl I was like I hadn't known it was twins then just as I was holding my beautiful babies I woke up then reality hit me that it was just a dream

[Megg33k]

Aww! Congrats to your friend, Allie! I can see how it would sort of be a relief!

Those are the worst, Dawn... Well, the waking up part! I hope it turns into a reality soon, honey!

hahaha I am mildly reminded of Megg's own words "STOP TESTING!" after I took over 25 tests in one week!

Yes! But I've only taken 6 or 7 total! I'm still miles away from your 25!

hahaha Granted...but I have to say that test experiment has really helped some ladies out there with regards to testing. You should start labeling tests so that when people ask what they looked like on certain days you can show them.

 

[Megg33k]

I have all the pictures labelled with the appropriate info. That's why its been so helpful to me to have taken pics after my trigger shot... Its let me get a feel of what a test looks like FOR ME at a certain level, ya know? And, I'm getting the impression that my tests don't look the same at certain levels that most people's tests would. I think that there should be more of a line on my 2.5 and 3.5 day post-trigger tests. So, either HCG comes away from my system quicker than it "normally" would or I really DON'T filter it like "normal" people just like I've said all along.

 

[Dazed]

Good morning ladies.

I'm back at work (booooo) and feel like crap!

Megg, glad you are finally feeling better about things.

 

[heart tree]

Wow it's petty quiet in here today. Dawn that is such a powerful dream. Sorry you had to wake up from it.

Lisa what a bummer you are back at work! How come you feel like crap? Are you sick?

Where is everyone?

My temp shot up today and confirmed ov on my chart. I'm 3dpo today. Yesterday and today my uterus has been achey. I wanted to take a pain reliever but didn't want to jeopardize a possible bean being formed. I had a small amount of brown spotting mixed in with cm when I wiped last night. I'm concerned that my uterus isn't working properly. 2dpo is too early for spotting. I'm praying there isn't anymore today. I'm guessing the cramps and spotting are all a result of the adeno I have. Blah.

 

[Dazed]

I'm not sure if I'm sick or not. It may have been because its kinda toasty in my office because it seems to be going away.
I know what you mean about being achey. I'm generally not like this after suspected ov. Wierd, but I hope its a good thing.
Maybe your spotting is due to ov? FXed it is.

 

[grandbleu]

Hi Hearty :wave: I'm here

We're almost the same cycle (like before). I'm DPO2 - no symptoms and I promise myself not to symptom spot this time because it drives me a bit nuts and for all my supposed symptoms I usually end up with AF anyways.

Who else is with us...there's at least one or two more of us that are cycling similar???

Great job on the BD...you timed it perfectly! I am definitely going to invest in OPKs the next time (a secret purchase) so I don't have to force OH into a marathon session next time...we all know how that ended.

 

[heart tree]

I had some pinky spotting 2 days before ov. I'm hoping the brown yesterday is just leftover and it is all related to ov.

Liz, Lisa (Dazed) is also our cycle buddy. Sugarlove is too, but I'm not sure if she was trying this cycle. I'm not sure there is anyone else. I think the three of us who were trying definitely bd'd on the right days. It is impossible for me not to symptom spot. I wish I could avoid it but I can't!

Lisa I hope it is just the heat making you feel yucky. Although feeling sick is a symptom. Just sayin'!

 

[grandbleu]

Hearty and Dazed! Nice to have some cycle buddies I guess it's just wait, obsess, wait, obsess, wait, obsess, POAS, and for three!

​

PS. Hearty - I say I won't symptom spot...ummmm that's probably not the truth though I'll be secretly documenting every twinge, food aversion, bad smell, CM change...

PPS. Dazed - sorry you're feeling under the weather. Take care of yourself...could be a symptom but I definitely don't want you getting the flu. Hope it's just the heating!

 

[Dazed]

I'm definately not looking for symptoms. I am going to try to stay as calm about this as possible, but any money says that as we get to the last week, I will be going slightly nuts.

 

[grandbleu]

Off topic - well not completely but anyways just throwing it out there for anyone interested in reading...this is an amazing baby journey...it's from the NYtimes so you might have to register to read...not sure since I'm already registered. Here's the link:

I was hooked right away and still in the midst of reading. Just wanted to share...babies can come in many different ways!

 

[Dazed]

I'll have to read that when I get home and settled in.
Got a new car yesterday, so I am going to show it off to family today. I'm so excited!

 

[vickyd]

Hearty some spotting is considered normal during ovulation, have you ever spotted during ovulation before? I wouldnt jump to bad conclusions honey...I think its very good that for two cycles now you are ovulating at a perfect time in your cycle!

I had a nice day today, went book shopping and then had lunch with some friends, I decided to order something light since ive been eating way too much so i ordered a broccoli soup. I think they made it with cream though and im feeling super full like ive wolfed down a huge steak...Why do they make something so healthy so rich ill never know!

 

[LucyJ]

Hearty I really hope this is your month don't give up hope yet it sounds like old blood so I would assume it is to do with ovulation. I'm keeping everything crossed for you Hun

Good luck to all you girls who are in the Tww hope it is your month everything crossed for you all

Lisa hope you feel better soon. Liz I'll have a read of the article.

Vicky that sounds like a lovely day I've done hardly anything today it is so miserable here foggy and wet! We went to the supermarket and that's about it that and chilled out at home I fell asleep on the sofa so pretty sure I wont sleeps tonight especially as I slept in this morning, opps
