F.A.I.T.H. (Forsaking all, I trust Him)

[somedaymama]

So you know how I was whining the other day that I am almost six weeks into my cycle and I haven't ovulated? Well, I just entered my temps from my paper charts into fertility friend, and FF says I am 16 dpo. I swear it doesn't look like that on my paper chart, but I am so hoping they are right...and that tomorrow my temp stays high!!

I'm going to try to put in my chart for you all to look at...let's see if this works: https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/2b1f22

edit: I can't figure out how to get a link for my chart that you all can see without being logged into my account. help anyone?
edit2: I got it to work! yay!

Somedaymama,

Yes Depo really messed me up and I think if i never got that shot. I would of had my baby by now. Yes i took it back in 2006 and i never went for the 2nd shot because of the side effect it was giving me then. Joint pain and also no period for 11 full months after.

Yaa our first bfp in this group and you know what? MommaWannabe wasn't trying to rub it in our faces like some people on bnb. Monday i'm going to the Ob and see what's going on. I wanted to go to the ER to see what they will tell me but then i said nah..I didn't want to wait that long. So i'll wait until Monday

I feel the same way...it is so frustrating, and I feel so bad that something I did is probably what is keeping me from having my baby.

I was on it for one year, four shots all together. The only side effect I had was constant light bleeding, that was annoying but bearable. I didn't gain any weight like some people do.

I have an appointment with a reproductive endocrinologist in January, so I will finally get to find out what is going on. I suspect my estrogen is low.

Somedaymama,

Reproductive Endocrinologist, is that like a FT=Fertility Specialist? I wouldn't mind going to one. I would have to talk with the OB and see what she is going to tell me. I've always wanted a summer/early fall baby, since my 2 oldiest were late fall/early winter babies.

I know you can be picky with everything. But also i wanted to know how bad depo did me. One of my hormones is low, either the estrogen or pregestrone. One of the two. And no i'm not going to read into my sypmtoms and if I do..I wouldn't post them here lol.

Yeah, they specialize in infertility. They'll be able to test hormone levels and check for other things that can cause ovulation dysfunction like thyroid problems. According to a website I was reading about this on, they deal with
*hormonal disorders
*menstrual problems
*infertility
*pregnancy loss
*sexual dysfunction
*menopause
They have completed a residency in ob/gyn, and have further certification to become a RE.

I was recommended to the RE by my regular doctor. Talk to yours about it--I think they can do more specialized testing than your regular doc can.

Yes I agree my RE was very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. She did my work up immediately and found out I had PCOS. My OB/GYN had referred me to her because she felt like my issue was out of her scope. Also once you get BFP, the RE will follow you for about 10 weeks to make sure everything is ok! GL

 

[im_mi]

hooray, steph!!! thats great news! Praise Him.

without going into too much detail, the Lord has really helped me tonight. i asked a friend to pray for me earlier, to pray that i would be strong in a very awkward situation i have found myself in and to pray for the situation to not get any.... awkward-er. and this evening some things have happened that have prevented the situation from worsening and i am just so grateful. Praise Him! I am so lucky.

 

[Guppy051708]

Thanks Imogen!

Aww, praise Jesus Im_mi! Aren't you so thankful for God's Grace and Mercy? I certainly am! Im so glad that the Lord is working great things in your life and giving you the grace to work through situations that Satan puts us in

Raschael, could you please change my date to December 15th, please? I think im actually starting to get my cycle down...well...for the most part! Thanks dear!

 

[somedaymama]

ooh, I think I can have a date now! I'm still not confident that I ovulated, but I am going to go with fertility friends' calculation. So...I'm going to test on Wednesday, November 18. According to FF, I will be 18 dpo by then. I did POAS yesterday (because I'm addicted...haha) and it was BFN. Fingers crossed it's on Wednesday!

 

[Guppy051708]

somedaymama! Your chart is looking awesome!!! Im willing to bet you WILL be seeing a on Wednesday!!!

 

[somedaymama]

thanks guppy!! that's really sweet of you to say.

 

[Tigger Momma]

My husband and I have been trying for close to two years, the doc has me on Clomid because he thinks I dont ovulate on my own, I have only 2 days will I start trying to hit ovulation.

 

[Guppy051708]

Welcome Tiger Momma! :wave:

Welcome Tigger Momma! I hope that this ovulation in two days is IT for you! It's good to give your fertility to God. After all, He is the one forming the baby in your womb.
(a tigger for you...lol)

[Tigger Momma]

Thank you very much for welcoming me........I realllly appreciate it. This is one time that I have given it to god and I feel at peace with it. Its ironic how I just found this thread after all the time I've been on BnB. God must have led me here, because he knew I'd appreciate the like minded support.

I dont actually ovulate in 2 days but my fertile period is supposed to begin around then, I dont really know when I ovulate but Hubby and I are gonna BD everyday until the 26th of the month atleast so that I have no doubt that we didn't miss it. Im so excited..........Do any of you ladies know any really helpful promises from god to commit to memory that would relate to fertility. I know that ALL of god's promises are great to remember but do any of you have any fav's???

AF is due December 4th, so here's to a BFP and lots and lots of god's miracle dust to all

 

[somedaymama]

Oh, I see. Well, lots of for your trying period!!

This is my very favorite Bible promise for TTC...the story of Hannah. She wanted a baby more than anything but couldn't have one. She begged God for a child and told him that if he would give her a baby, she would give him or her back to God. She prayed so much that the priest in the temple thought she was drunk because her lips were moving. Well, God gave her Samuel. Hannah fulfilled her end of the bargain and her son Samuel became one of the great prophets of the Old Testament.

Somedaymama, I hear they are very expensive, so I'm going to see if my Ob will give me a referal to see a RE? This will be my first time dealing with a RE. Because i would love to know why my cycles been all over the place. There was a time that I had a cycle of CD 42. My period came on CD 42 and i never went that long starting. Maybe from that depo shot.

But before i thought the depo will be out of my system by now since i first got it in 2006 and never went back for my other shots. I pray that OB's do give out referals for these type of apointments, because GOD knows i don't have $10,000,000.00 to give out now looool

I heard about PCOS, where the ovary doesn't release a egg by itself every month. Now i wonder if the depo does this? That is something I should write down and bring it to her when i see her(Ob).

You're right, the specialist is probably more expensive than your ob/gyn, depending on how your insurance works. Maybe you could ask your ob/gyn if s/he can do the hormone tests. The problem is that ob/gyns are often trained to deal with normal issues, not infertility. Maybe call your insurance company (if you have one) and see what they would cover. My doctor sent a referral form to my insurance company saying that I have "ovulatory dysfunction" so I need to see a specialist.

Let us know what you figure out.

Somedaymama,

I'm sorry but I had to copy your ticker. This ticker is so cute with the little bottles and all lol ...Yes i'm going to call my insurance tomorrow and see if they cover a RE. The RE's I've found are 1 hours and 45 minutes a way from where I live. I don't care. As long as I know what's keeping me of getting my bfp. I tried to talk about the depo issue to one of the nurses and they want a debate that the depo isn't causing this. And i read to many women complain about it. So i'm going to see for my self.

Wow i'm cd 4 all ready. What's everybody's plans for Thanksgiving?

 

[somedaymama]

Medical professionals deny up and down that depo does anything but prevent pregnancy for 3 months, 6 at most. I have no idea why. There needs to be more warnings about the long-lasting consequences, but that won't happen until doctors and nurses admit it messes up women's systems for so long. It just can't be coincidence that so many women have such a hard time getting pregnant after depo when they never had trouble before. Sorry, this isn't the place for ranting.

I like your ticker!! I The balloon and basket are cute.

I'm going to St. Louis to see my whole family for Thanksgiving. I'm sooo excited! My 15 month old nephew has just started taking a few steps and I can't wait to see him walk.

 

[Rdy2BaMom]

Guppy congrats on showing up!! and I changed your test date. . . hope you get your

someday-your chart looks pretty promising! I will be keeping you in my prayers! Oh, and I added your test date too.

im_mi- I am so glad God is answering your prayers so quickly! Isn't He so good!?!


Welcome Tigger!! So glad you can join us!

As far as my plans for Thanksgiving, my uncles are coming to Texas from New Mexico, so we are all getting together at my grandparents here. I am so excited!!
