Femara Friends!

[LolaM]

@MK - That's soooo great!!! Keep us in the loop

@Zadee - I agree with Cridge. The best way is to know if you've ovulated is to track your temperature. I've only used OPK's with the lines and I always have a hard time reading them. I haven't tried the expensive ones that spells out "positive" or "negative" but I refuse to buy them because I don't fully trust OPK's.

@cindy (siblingwishes) - I didn't know that femara can weaken the lines! Interesting .. THANKS!!! Btw, how are you feeling?

I dont buy the expensive ones because I'm cheap and poor. I do both temp and OPKS because i was always getting + on my opk but not getting preg so dr told me to start temping and bring him the chart--he is always pleased.

But can i tell you guys something gross??? Hubs and i tonight and all the stayed in, the last time we BD it felt like everything ran back out-EVERYTHING. This time, nothing came out, i guiess i dont understand why this is happening because it hsould have stayed in last time because it was my fertile period and now i am past my fertile period. The last time i had my hips elevated for 30 minutes, this time, i didnt elevate....

Hi ladies..

Chook - So sorry for your loss, hang in there



I went in for my blood work yesterday and STILL have yet to get a call! It said on my lab paper that they were supposed to fax over results same day as draw..so I was assuming my RE would call me by end of day yesterday, but NOPE. Blah! I may go ahead and just call if I don't hear from them sooner than later, I really wanna find out TODAY! Did I ovulate? God I hope so!

"sypmtoms" in this TWW ...(think I'm 8DPO now)
1/22 (CD21) fatigue, sensitive nipples and sore under my Right armpit, and just a feeling of heaviness..
1/23 (CD22) Just fatigue
1/24 (CD23) Pressure "down there", stomach feels like its been stretched, (TMI) feel like CM but nothing ever on undies, light cramping on and off on both sides of abdomen, increased appetite all day, nipples slighty sensitive, kind of bloated
1/25 TODAY ...so far I've just been hungry! I just want to eat! And still feeling that CM feeling, but not as much..so who knows what's going on!

I finally did buy a BBT thermometer..took my temp on 1/24 and it was 97.8 and this morning it was 98.4...I know I'm only supposed to start on CD 1, but thought I'd work on getting the hang of it. LoL.

Maybe all of these symptoms mean AF is coming?? If it came on it's own, that would be a progession too, so I guess I'll just have to wait and see...OH the waiting, I JUST HATE IT! LoL.

Anyway, just a little one of my "journal" updates.

Baby dust to all!

Thank you. I have antinuclear antibodies which prevent normal implantation. I was told if I caught it quick enough and started clexane injections in my belly daily and progesterone supplements it may all work out ok. I think we are going to stop trying for a while and do iui when we are ready again. They will give me the injections before hand then. I hope this hasn't stressed you mk! As you can see mine is a unique case and I never really had much of a chance. Everything is going to work out fine for you!!! Thanks again xox

Oh my darling girl you haven't stressed me, but that you so much for thinking about me. I have done enough of that to myself, I will feel little better tomorrow when we repeat the beta test, if I know its raising I will settle down with my worry. What will be will be...

 

[Chiles]

Sorry about your m/c Chook

My RE put me on predisone before ovulatiion and after ovulation to lower my immune system to help implantation. I looked up online that the immune system will attack the zygote since 50% is from daddy genetics. Etc. Wishing you the best

 

[Shareena]

I am so sorry for your loss Chook . I pray you will heal soon.

AFM: Well, AF found me today so I am CD1 which I am glad because now I can get ready for the IUI.

 

[Chook]

Thank you for that information chiles! I will certaintly look into it xox

The last few nights, I have drifted off to sleep with one vision...my husband holding a baby and talking to it in our living room. i know he will be a wonderful father but ive never really ENVISIONED him with a child.

Now I have to somehow get motivated to do a 4-6 page paper that I could not POSSIBLY care less about

so i'm scheduled for a blood preg test on monday....but i'm dying to test!! i had a trigger shot of 10,000 units on friday 13th and should have ovulated on sunday the 15th...so ladies, do you think a urine test would give an accurate result or should i just be patient?

My thought is that you might want to give it a few more days...are you having symptoms?

not really, i dont even feel like AF is coming. i should start on sunday or monday and usually i can tell i'm going to start but i got nothing...that's probably not a good thing huh?

preg symptoms dont usualy start until 4-6 weeks, so it doesnt really mean anything. I think that you should wait until 14 or 15 DPO before you do any testing.
I felt a little PMSy today--or was that just the Sunday drivers that dont know what that skinny pedal on the right is for? I also seem to be having mild cramps on both sides, especially if i lay on one side or the other for too long.
