ooooohhhh exciting!! Well i think it is!

 

[lenorajoy]

I hope so!! I'd be totally fine with not going into labor until Monday or Tuesday, but this weekend would be great timing, too. I just hope baby doesn't keep us waiting for too much longer!

I don't know how to link my chart. I use my phone... today is cd21 so I doubt it's just late. The darkest opk I had was monday, but it wasn't positive. I had the pressure and cramping that went away Tuesday evening, so if I wasn't doing opks or charting, I would've thought that was O day. I won't be trying clomid again because I had zero response to it, so I'm guessing I'll try a higher dose of Femara. If that doesn't work, I have to try to get back in to the fertility clinic and see if I can do a trigger. Unfortunately fertility treatment gets really expensive. I scheduled a progesterone draw for tuesday to see if I really did ovulate when it felt like I did, but I'm not holding out hope. I'm hoping it doesn't take so long to Ttc this time around bc my fibroid can grow back requiring surgery again.

August- usually for the bromelain in pineapple to do anything, you'd have to eat at least 7 entire pineapples, including the core. Which is likely to result in diarrhea and heartburn due to all the acid! 🙊 And as a labor nurse I beg you, please don't try castor oil. Lol

What does castor oil do? I've heard the same from other people, so I'm curious.

Hi ladies,

First I want to say I have PCOS very badly, both ovaries are covered head to tow in cysts per the ultra sound I had about two weeks ago.

I have also had cervical cancer stage 1b1 and have had two surgeries to remove it. I am now considered in remission and luckily I didn't have to have chemo or radiation. I have to go in for screenings every three months to make sure it stays away, and if it ever comes back I will have to have chemo and radiation...so I'm hoping it stays away!

Anyway so I don't use OPK's because they are ALWAYS positive due to my PCOS so I just go based on my body symptoms and typically I always get sore boobs the day after I have ovulated and I also get super watery/egg white CM the day of ovulation.

Also I had tests done for my PCOS and it showed high levels of testosterone which my doctor put me on Metformin to help lower it, she also said it may make me more fertile.

So this past weekend I'm 100% sure I ovulated on Sunday, the next day my boobs were sore and I was nauseous Sunday (another symptom I get of O.) Well me and my OH did the deed this weekend many times and since I'm on Metformin, maybe I have a chance?

So I'm 5DPO today and my symptoms are the following:

-very neausous
-fatigue
-dizzy
-sore boobs
-smell aversions
-bleeding gums when brushing
-mild fever (99.2-99.5)
-weird face pressure (no sinus infection or cold...)
-extreme hot and cold flashes
-headaches
-heartburn

If I got pregnant it would be a miracle!

Sorry for the long post...

Cupcake- No need to apologize for a long post. I also have PCOS. I did try metformin and it didn't help me. I do know a few people that it worked for first cycle. Your symptoms sound promising. I am a believer that some people can tell or have symptoms very early. I started telling my hubs at 3 dpo that I was pregnant. Baby dust to you!

 

[drjo718]

Lenora- castor oil tends to give people terrible, uncontrollable diarrhea. Which is not what you want when you're very pregnant lol. It can make you very crampy but not actually put you into labor.

 

[lenorajoy]

Cupcake - the ones that stand out to me are the bleeding gums and hot and cold flashes! Not so easily explained by other things, and I had both early on! Fx you've caught a good sticky egg! When do you plan to test??

 

[lenorajoy]

Drjo - uncontrollable diarrhea and cramping sounds awful! I would imagine like most any kind of induction it's only effective if your body is ready for labor, otherwise it won't work. I'll definitely ask my midwife about it before trying it should I go overdue. I'll definitely try the sweep first, though! It sounds awful and painful, but labor itself is bound to feel awful and painful, too. Not like castor oil, though!

7.5mg is the highest dose of FE.

Are you new to the group?

 

[PinkCupcakes]

August - Thank you! PCOS stinks! It's so weird that Metformin made me O so soon after starting it! I literally just started it about 3 weeks ago and then a week after I started I Oed! Is it weird that I just feel like I could be pregnant? I've never felt like this before so its very strange and new to me!

Lenora - I am very impatient lol so I tested this morning and of course it's stark white.... Also strange is that my nausea seems to have disappeared completely, along with my headache!

onErth - Yea I'm new! hehe!

 

[PinkCupcakes]

Okay so maybe my test isn't stark white? It's still wet and I swear I see a line..

https://i65.tinypic.com/2w3p0fc.jpg

Maybe I'm just going crazy and have line eye?

 

[drjo718]

Onerth- we go up to 12.5mg here.

 

[OnErth&InHvn]

onErth - Yea I'm new! hehe!

Youll need to follow the rules on the first page of this thread

Onerth- we go up to 12.5mg here.

Interesting!! So they go from 7.5 to 12.5 or is there something in between?

10mg is in between.

 

[OnErth&InHvn]

High on CBAD digi
Low on CBPink

Almost + on $Tree... the kind that makes you wonder if its it + or so close youre staring forever.

so we are going to BD tonight just in case and then go from there. I *THINK* i should get PEAK/+ tomorrow...

We also decided ( DH & I) to not trigger this cycle. I havent told the dr. It was so stressful in oct and we dont know if trigger messed up things or what happened so we will skip and see what happens on this last FE cycle!

Plan:
Mucinex tonight w/BD
Sunday (hopeful + OPK) BD
Monday BD
Skip BD Tuesday
BD Wednesday (hopefully see temp shift to confirm!)

BUT i could totally be off on this and the plan go out the window again!!

I'm two days from my due date and having some issues with insomnia and muscles that ache like I'm coming down with the flu! I hope what I've read is true that this may mean I'm only a few days away from labor. Keeping my fx! I'm so ready.
