Early 30's TTC #1

[rosababy]

Oh, Soleil. I'm so so so sorry you are going through this. How awful. I can't even imagine how much you are hurting. Keep praying. Maybe adoption will give you a beautiful baby and take the stress off just enough so that you conceive on your own...? Then, you'll have two beautiful babies. God has a plan for you, and it will be great whatever it is.

I just borrowed Sing You Home by Jodi Picoult from my mom. The protagonist is pregnant. I inadvertently found a *major* spoiler on an Entertainment Weekly review of all places. (I had read this in March when the book first came out, and all I wanted was a general description, and I ended up w/ a huge spoiler. Kinda makes me mad). Anyway, I'm sure I'm going to cry when I read this one, especially because she is pregnant.

I'm afraid to read Jodi Picoult because I've heard all of her books are so sad! I like to listen to chick lit on the way to work, but the last one I listened to (Promises to Keep by Jane Green) made me sob everyday to work! Kind of defeating the purpose... I like Sophie Kinsella and Madeline Wickham. She has cute, funny stuff.

Hi ladies, I hope you all had a good weekend. I wasn't as distracted as I thought I'd be but I tried to keep busy. didn't come! But I'm too chicken to test!

Today I'm at CD30, my cycles range from 27 to 30 days (my longest ever) and so, technically, I'm not late yet. I was getting little twinges off and on all throughout the weekend but it never grew into the normal full-blown cramps.

I've decided to skip my language class today, in preparation for If she makes her ugly appearance, I'll be doubled over in pain since I won't be able to take an Advil, it always starts slow for me and I want to make sure before I take it. I will be doing piles and piles of laundry instead, and it's about to rain so alls well!

I can't believe you're not testing yet! I understand about being scared to test, though. I'm always scared to test. I hope this is it for you!!! Keep us updated!

Can I join you please?

I was 30 on sat My AF arrived this morning and this will be our first month of TTC My cycles are between 26-28 days. I have sort of been using OPK to find out when I ovulate, but I will be doing them religiously this month

I got married on sat and am hoping we will be on honeymoon when I ovulate so plenty of time for

to you all xxxxxx

Welcome, congrats and happy birthday!

Afm, just chillin' waiting for AF. I go back to the RE tomorrow for an initial exam, cultures and sonogram. Kind of nervous...has anyone ever done the sonogram? She said they do it vaginally...that can't be fun. AF is due Sunday. Feeling little twinges and little things here and there, but I've noticed that with clomid, so I'm sure it's nothing.

I totally understand. I have to be in the right frame of mind to read her books.

I have had two internal ultrasounds. Not the most pleasant thing I have ever had done but definitely not the worst either. I would rather have an internal ultrasound done over a MRI (horrible things urghh )

Good luck with your appt Rosababy.

Sorry to hear that it was BFN.

Hi Lilyrose13. Welcome.

 

[Crumbs]

I'm awake now (I went back to sleep after testing) and I'm about to catch the bus to school. Swedish lessons will drown my sorrows!

I just wanted to say good luck to the rest of you testing and nearing your O!

 

[mrsmax]

Soleil - i cried reading your post. What you are going through is unimaginable. I am soooo sorry hon. Sending you masses of hugs and love and hope

 

[rosababy]

So my sonogram was this morning. Said looks like I o'ed from my right ovary, but that my left ovary was UNDER my uterus. What does this mean?? Has anyone heard of this before? He said it could be endo, but not necessarily, and that I shouldn't worry. Ha. He said we'd keep running tests.

I googled it, but couldn't find much. Anyone heard of this? Is it similar to a tube being blocked? As in, it's still possible to get pregnant, but will take much longer?? I'm feeling so scared.

Hi Lilyrose - Welcome

Crumbs - So sorry about the BFN. Might it be a bit early yet?

Rosa - Well I had an internal ultasound with my MC (two actually) and one of the techs was telling me that ovaries move around a lot (I guess mine was being elusive) so I wouldn't worry about the position of yours too much - sounds like it can still function..

Well guys... I tested.. I am in shock but there was a faint second line there on the FRER.. I had completely expected to see a negative..

I got a Birthday BFP! But I don't want to get too excited yet. I'll wait til I see a dark line to know it's not just a chemical pregnancy.. And with the last pregnancy that ended in MC, I knew from very early on that something wasn't right, so I hope this time to get the opposite sense...

 

[rosababy]

OMG, Susan!!!! Really?! Can you post the pic?? Congratulations!!

Thanks for the encouragement about the ovaries...I hope it's not an issue.

Susan,
Congratulations! I wish you the best of luck in your 9 months

Rosa, I did some searching and found this blog. I didn't read on to see the conclusion or if she wrote about it or not, but perhaps you can msg her. https://thepitter-patter.blogspot.com/2010/09/dude-wheres-my-ovary.html
Apparently, it's not so rare so try not to worry too much.

As for me, I'm waiting for DH to come home so we can buy some paint and then to our doctor's appointment. Then I realized the date ... June 21. WTF?! How the heck did we manage to read it as May 24?! I blame him, he said it was this Tuesday and like an idiot, all I did was double-check the time. Sigh.

But ... no sign of I'm fatigued but that's probably because I woke-up at 5:00 to POAS.

Thanks, Crumbs. I checked it out...hopefully it doesn't mean much. Just a freak thing. Why can't I be NORMAL?!?!

Susan, that's definitely a line!!!!!
