Fertility Friend is not my friend at the moment...

If they do a beta I will have results back that day, it only take 3 hours for results.

AAah right, gotcha, so you get the progesterone test in 7 days, beta same day

I don't test unless I'm late, which makes me quite unusual by BnB standards

 

[ittybittycoy]

I try to hold off as long as possible too, but I am pretty sure they will do a beta... every time I have gone in and been "late" they test. We shall see what happens, 3 days and counting , lol.

 

[NorthStar]

in the UK I'd have to be practically dying to get any kind of blood test!

 

[ittybittycoy]

That's crazy, makes me very happy with the health care we have. Now I have a doctor appointment tomorrow, not related to TTC but I am going to try and bring it up.

Ever since Saturday I haven't been feeling well, my throat hurts and my nose/ears are clogged... I have heard this can be a sign but trying really hard not to symptom spot as I have before and got my hopes up. Plus since I am only 8-10 DPO I am kind of skeptical I would have this symptom already.

 

[NorthStar]

I've never been a believer in random stuff as a sign, but I think a lot of people on the forum do

 

[ittybittycoy]

I don't know if I believe it either, I have been pregnant twice and don't remember that at all. However, that was several years ago and we weren't even trying and to be honest I don't remember many symptoms from the beginning.

 

[NorthStar]

Me neither, but I've had people on the forum say an itchy rash is a symptom and all kinds of random stuff...

 

[ittybittycoy]

Well as suspected, they did a beta because I am late... it was a ... although I am upset I am taking it better than I expected.

I still have my appointment on Friday, and am curious to see what happens then, I am starting to think I may not have ovulated at all... my temps are still around my coverline. Hopefully they will do a progesterone check so I can know for sure, if I haven't ovulated yet I am suspecting they may give me Provera again, ... I wish I knew what my body was doing.

 

[NorthStar]

FF is a lot more sure that you ovulated than either of us

Still sounds like your doc is going to be proactive and you have the option of taking meds to end this cycle. Unless its driving you really mad, I'd leave it another week and see if it sorts itself out.

 

[ittybittycoy]

I told my DH and he said we will talk about our options when he gets home... I am just so confused, dang FF... I am wondering if it is wrong, I am going to bring my chart to the doctor's with me Friday and see what she has to say, then evaluate my options from there.

I have done everything my doctor has told me so far, well other than the NuvaRing situation. I quit working out like I was told because he assumed that was causing me to be anovulatory... I know it may take a while, but after 2 months I am ready to go back to my gym. He also said I am underweight, although I don't know if I agree, either way I have gained 3 lbs in 2 months... probably not enough, but I am trying.

Uh, why do things have to be so complicating, we didn't even try with our first 2, they were surprises and two wonderful ones at that.

 

[NorthStar]

I don't think it's necessary to quit working out unless you are training a marathon or something?

I still work out 4-5 times a week and my doctor said that is fine, I don't think you should have to put your whole life on hold.

 

[ittybittycoy]

That's the thing, the gym I go to is intense training. It is called CrossFit, not sure if you have them in the UK. My trainer at the gym didn't even start her cycle until 18 or 19, plus her and her husband have been together 5 years now (using no protection) and have never conceived. That makes me believe it is part of the problem. Plus to top it off I already have elevated testosterone levels, I am curious if they will draw that Friday and see if it has gone down, if not I am definitely going back to the gym.

 

[NorthStar]

Aaah ok, I just go to a normal gym , and do Les Mills classes, IDK if you get them in the USA? I do Body Combat (kick boxing typed class), Body Attack (full on cardio aerobics) and Body Pump( weight training).

 

[ittybittycoy]

Sorry its been a little while since I responded, it was a little chaotic around here yesterday.

Anyways, so after yesterday's , the doctor said not to give up, it may still be too early. Do you think this is possible? I myself am a little pessimistic, however FF still swears I ovulated. I really think FF and my doctor are wrong, I wish I could be that optimistic. I was just wondering what your thoughts are, yesterday was 11DPO according to FF... wouldn't a show on a beta by then?

Should I just consider myself out? I have no signs of AF at all, so that makes me have a little hope, but then again if I didn't ovulate that would make sense too.

 

[NorthStar]

I'd probably consider myself out at this stage because of the beta, and start thinking of next cycle. I'd probably write this one off on the basis that your body is still settling down (but it would be nice to be wrong).

 

[ittybittycoy]

Thanks I agree and now so does FF, today it has taken away my crosshairs... at least all of this makes a little more sense. I still have my appointment today, so I will see what the doc suggests and go from there.

Thanks for all your help, I really appreciate it.

 

[NorthStar]

No worries, and good luck with everything. At least you have a good doctor, so you have some options here to get things back on track.
