8dpo Monday.... Waiting waiting waiting

 

[loolindley]

Aaah, so you DID O early!!! I really hope the HSG has made you super fertile. Only a week to go! xx

 

[fisher640]

Well. I mean as far as I know. I didn't temp do I can't be sure. That's just based on when EWCM peaked. I usually dry right up the next day but it kind of tapered off over the next two days so I guess well see. My bbs were already tender by then though so I think I'm 8dpo. I don't think I'm going to hold out to test though. The temptation is too high. I brought 4 tests home from work. 14dpo is Sunday, but AF usually shows by 12... Stupid short LP well see... I'm trying to hold out til at least Wednesday 10dpo?

Wednesday sounds good!!

I love that "I bought 4 tests home from work". Perks of the job, eh?!!!!

That's right
again this morning. I'm not feeling terribly optimistic. My bbs are still sensitive/bruised feeling I'm just so depressed & irritable that I'm sure will return this month, my PMS is almost always depression like.

 

[loolindley]

What a horrible feeling I remember too well. I could cry for you when you say that, because I just know how you feel. But I will save my tears - because like I had to tell myself month after month.....it aint over until the stupid b!tch shows up!!

You still have 3 more days of tests honey. xxxxx

 

[fisher640]

Oh and PS: I did call my doctor yesterday and left a message saying yes we were interested in pursuing further testing and would like to hear some more details on what that would consist of. Now I'm waiting for a phone call....

 

[loolindley]

For what it's worth, I think you have made a good decision.

Again this morning along with cramps and the beginning spotting. CD1 will officially end up being later today or tomorrow. le sigh. Hopefully my gynecologist will call back soon so I can find out what the next step is. I'm assuming it will be bloodwork to determine if I'm ovulating and whatnot. I'm fairly confident I am though because they say one of the best predictors of that is regular cycles which for the most part is true, and I spent so long taking my BBT and my impression is that's a fairly reliable indicator of ovulation too. How frustrating and depressing.

 

[loolindley]

Ahhh, your kidding! That's really crap hun. That is the bloods taken around cd21 isn't it? So with any luck they will do it this month to get it out of the way. It was the first test they did with me, so I think they will do it just to be sure - something they can cross off the list as it were.

I'm really sorry, and I just hope AF is not too horrible to you.

 

[loolindley]

Hi hun. How are you?

Did you hear anything back from your gyne? I hope they have something in place for you this month. x

 

[fisher640]

Not yet, I called again on Friday to find out why I hadn't heard back from her and the person that answered the phone this time had me on hold a long time and said she went back through my chart and couldn't find any record of my last phone call, so we she was making a note and leaving a memo for the doctor who would be in the office again on Wednesday... So we wait. Again.

DH has totally come around after feigning being forced into all this BDing . I mean seriously, poor you. Anyway, he's now back on the "I want a baby too" train and even had a dream we had a daughter a couple nights ago. I'm in a somewhat better mood, although certainly not cheery. I had a couple of emotionally-draining-for-me patients this week because of their circumstances and me TTC. But we're BDing away, so far every other day since left. Which is good, and I hope we can keep it up, I'm noticing a change in CM so I should start with EWCM any time now. I decided to take evening primrose oil this month cause I just saw it in the medicine cabinet - I hope it doesn't muck anything up too bad

 

[loolindley]

Don't forget to stop the epo when you O, as I heard it's not good after then! I have a packet of it, which I was going to start in my next cycle! I've still got a cupboard full of b6, b12, soy, epo and allsorts! In the end I only took b6!

I'm so glad that dh has climbed back on board! And just in time too by the sounds of it!! Get honey! As much as you can, so there will be no wondering if you did enough in a couple of weeks!

I really hope you get a phone call back. I would have been so annoyed! Don't they realise that you opperate in 28ish day cycles! Humph!

Go forth and multiply!!!!!! xxxxx

 

[fisher640]

Yeah I actually didn't take it last night because it makes my CM watery and I'm kind of freaking out about it. I started another forum about it but no one has answered me yet. I mean I've read that both watery and EWCM are fertile, and I've read that EWCM is better than watery, so I'm not sure what to believe. I wasn't sure if it was fluke last time but then it happened again this time. I always get TEXTBOOK EWCM every cycle, and both cycles I've taken EPO I get watery CM that's closer in consistency to preseed, so I don't know if its a good thing or is mucking things up. So I quit taking it last night

BUT my whole reason for posting is I got a callback from my doctor, who didn't really have much to share other than she thinks it's time I see a specialist, so she gave me two sets of doctors to call, one at the hospital I work at (where my gynecologist is too) and one at a freestanding fertility clinic. I called the free standing clinic and got an appointment set up for the 26th BUT I'm counting the days now and I'll probably be thick in the middle of then UGH. I guess I'll wait and see when I O, maybe I'll O early and AF will be done by then??? I'm CD 12 today, and all things are good down there as far as cervix position goes, I just don't know if the watery CM is okay or if I'll be getting EWCM this month or not? I mean EWCM hasn't worked so far and I get it religiously right? I don't know this is all so confusing

Go forth and multiply!!!!!! xxxxx

I know I was having a good laugh at myself the other day about how A: when I broke up with my college boyfriend how relieved I was to see after we broke up....

AND B: how paranoid I was I would get knocked up when I first started dating DH and I was still taking birth control pills and he convinced me to DTD for the first time ever without condoms.... I was positive I would get knocked up even with the BCPs How was I going to tell my parents that I was 24 and knocked up?!

Funny how much that all has changed huh?

 

[loolindley]

Ha! Tell me about it! I would not have bother pumping my body full of birth control injections and bcp if I'd known it was going to take as long as it did!!! When we were in school they would make you believe that you only had to look at a boy and you would be pregnant!!!

Am so glad that you have your referal through. Don't cancel it yet, you're AF may never come, and if it does, it might not be when you expect it. Plus, they might not want to do anything with you 'down there', it may just be a chat and to book you in for day 21 bloods?

I think you have done the right thing by stopping the epo if it is doing funky things with your CM, especially when you have always had such reliable cm...having said that, a change could be good!!! xxx
