First Gyn Appointment for TTC-Obese

[Ursaula]

Gagrlin: That sounds like a good idea! That way you save money and any disappointment from early on BFNs. I just really like POAS and tweaking the tests, it gives me something to fuss over.

Aayla: That's really annoying. I'd consider bringing up to the doctor how useless the nurse is. I'd do your letrozole as normal. If he wanted to do the IUD he would for sure be seeing you. Let me know what you decide either way

I have tested again and can't tell, I'm probably just seeing things as I have started cramping. Af is due Friday/Saturday so...I guess we'll see! I'll find the photo that best shows what I'm seeing then I'll post it on here for you to look at

 

[Aayla]

Yeah..I decided to just do it the way I always have. Took my pills today. there's no going back now.

Yay for test porn!!

 

[Ursaula]

Hehehe! Test porn time! I'm deciding if I want to test again tonight for fun...hm.

Fx'd for you this cycle! Will you be doing anything differently?

The first photo is of it within the time frame. I used the little ^ again. The second photo is after it was dry. Do wondfo tests typically have evaps?

 

[Aayla]

I think I see a thin line. I have only used 2 wondfo tests (I just bought them and decided to try to see how they work), hours later I didn't have an evap. and evaps only happen once the urine is dry. If a line shows up within the time limit it is usually positive.

not likely going to try anything new. Oh, I did drink the grapefruit juice last cycle so I am going to go and pick up a whole bunch tomorrow. that really helped my ewcm.

other than that I will be using opk's, but cheap ones as we really can't afford the more expensive one. Plus I can get 5 for $3 at the dollar store which means I could spend $20 and be able to test 3 times a day.

I'm going to start temping again tomorrow morning. and in order to keep hubby from getting exhausted lol we will be doing it every second day ish up to cd 15 and then every day from then on.

 

[Ursaula]

I decided to test again because I love it. Once I get the photos on my laptop I'll add those too!

That sounds like a good idea to try what you did the previous cycle and to start temping again. I waited until af was done also to start temping again, it gave me a week off.

Yay for cheap opks! The only option I have where I am are $2 tests at the "dollar store" or the expensive ones, so I decided to order a bunch online, which is why I keep testing like a maniac because I have so many!

 

[Aayla]

Once ovulation is confirmed i will be testing a lot. i bought a bunch from amazon as well. So my test start date is June 25. ish.

 

[Gagrlinpitt]

I have twenty wondfos but I used three last cycle and one this cycle at 7dpo. My temps dropped yesterday and today so I'm thinking Im out this month...

 

[MrsC10]

Sorry. Jumping in to see how this goes. I also have PCOS and conceived using Clomid.

I can see a hint of a line there. Very faint, but there. I've not had any experience with Wondfo though so can't help you with their evap stats.

Fingers crossed.

 

[Ursaula]

Aayla: Let's go June 25! Fx'd

Gagrlin: You aren't out until af shows!

Mrs. C: Welcome! What amount of clomid were you on? Also thanks for taking a peak at the tests!

AFM: I have to keep this short because it's on my phone. I had a promising test. Picking up a FRER will update later.

 

[Aayla]

oooh exciting!! can't wait to see

 

[Gagrlinpitt]

Aayla: Let's go June 25! Fx'd

Gagrlin: You aren't out until af shows!

Mrs. C: Welcome! What amount of clomid were you on? Also thanks for taking a peak at the tests!

AFM: I have to keep this short because it's on my phone. I had a promising test. Picking up a FRER will update later.

I guess we'll see

 

[MrsC10]

Mrs. C: Welcome! What amount of clomid were you on? Also thanks for taking a peak at the tests!
.

I was only on 25mg as a starting dose. Started so low as the Dr didn't want to over stimulate my ovaries.

Waiting patiently on an update

 

[Ursaula]

Sorry for being slow on the update! S/o and I had an argument on which pregnancy test is the best. Long story short I just picked up the FRER! Should I test on a 4 hour hold or with fmu?

 

[Aayla]

4 hour is usually ok. Quite similar to fmu as that is just a 5-8 hour hold. Why would men argue about this? Like they know what one is bet.

Hubby wants me to do a digi next time. He doesn't trust the lines.

So I got great news from the doc. Short story of it is that I am staying on the letrozole as he also thinks I may have not ovulated due to my cold. Or I did and just missed the progesterone peak.

We will be staying this track as long as I O as we save for IVF and I lose weight. Hoping we don't have to go that route but he says it is the next logical step if I don't get pregnant. It triples our chances.

 

[Aayla]

did you test?

 

[Ursaula]

I like your doctor's idea in keeping you on letrozole until you are able to do IVF, it gives you a chance every month!

My s/o is legally blind and can't even SEE the test anyway! I was upset about it...haha! I did test, it looked bfn at first until after the 3 minutes. I might just have really bad line eye though! Sorry I took forever to post also, I had my gyn appointment this morning. She says it's still a little early for testing...hmm. I'm being started on a thyroid medication also as provera messed it up apparently. Hsg will be scheduled too as soon as af arrives (IF she arrives ) If af isn't here by Sunday I'll probably test again.

 

[Aayla]

I feel like I see a hint of a line. your first pic looks like how my 10dpo pic looked on my bfp. It is still early of course. Some don't get good lines until after af is late.

I say keep testing.

 

[Aayla]

this is the pic of my 10 dpo test on my bfp cycle. some people saw the line, some didn't.

 

[Gagrlinpitt]

I'm pretty sure I'm out. Tested and bfn. Now just waiting for AF to arrive.

 

[Aayla]

How long are your cycles? you are only 11 dpo. I didn't get a good positive until 13dpo.
