~*~ Hoping for Our Special Stocking Stuffers! ~*~ December Testing: 7 BFP's, 1 angel

[ERosePW]

Got my solid smiley today, yay! It's the little things, ya know?

Hopethisyear, I agree with the others. I don't think you're supposed to consider it a new cycle until you have a full flow. Did you have the same types of cramps you'd have if on AF? I think I'd keep the chart going if I were you. You can go back later and enter that as AF if you never get a full AF, and ff will adjust your charts for you.

Yay ERose! Have fun, babe.

 

[Sis4Us]

Yes I thought for sure I would get a +++++ OPK today but it was lighter not darker

Guess I'm probably Oing from that Bumm right ovary

Hope everyone is well ....back to packing I go!!!

 

[charlie15]

Have fun ERose!

Sis4 us, what is wrong with your R ovary?

Thanks for input on OPKs ladies. I am a real guzzler, I drink loads of water and I try not to before I test, but I think my idea of not drinking is probably too much. Today I was stricter and saw 2 lines, today slightly darker than yesterday. I am on CD 12, last month O'd on CD 17, but think my body was really ready to O on CD14 or 15! Really hoping it comes earlier this month!

Great news, GL sealing the deal. Lots of coming your way ...

 

[terripeachy]

Charlie-I hope your positives come sooner too. Good luck!!

 

[Sis4Us]

Charlie my right Ovary has been squished by both boys so it sits low and tends to produce smaller Follies !!!
I've had a Ton of scans around O so that's why I say that!!

 

[MomOf3Girls]

Good luck, ERose!

My chart is so screwed up. This dang trip. And that's just the temps! And I'm a seasoned charter, charting since 2001. Then, I have an opk issue. I did an advanced digital on Friday afternoon. For me, it usually goes, neg one day, two days of flashing smile, two days of solid smile, then o day. (Reg digital goes neg, two days of solid smile, then o day.) Since Friday afternoon was completely neg, I figured Sat would either be neg or day one of flashing smile, then today would be either day one or two of flashing, so either way, today should have been flashing. Didn't test at all yesterday, and now I'm kicking myself! Today I tested from the same cup with both an advanced and a regular. Both had a solid smile. No flashing smile at all! If it would have flashed yesterday had I tested, that would have made only one day of flashing, not two. Would yesterday have been flashing or solid? It's solid today, why was it not flashing on Friday? Will I o tomorrow or Tuesday? I thought I had my patterns all pegged, and now I'm confused. Need to time bd'ing right for boy, temps are messed up, not sure if I'll be able to confirm o day with them, and need to confirm before starting my progesterone. Plus, why solid today, cd 12. I've NEVER O'ed on day 13 or 14. 15 is the earliest ever. Unless that super P I used last cycle REALLY balanced things out for this cycle. Thanks if you made it through my rant. I'm so confused right now, when normally I'm never confused about what's going on. Everything is all different. Could still try tonight anyway, but if I end up o'ing Tuesday, there goes trying to sway the chances for boy. If we wait for tomorrow night, and I o tomorrow, I could miss the egg.

 

[Sis4Us]

I could never use those flashing OPKs they never worked right for me!!

I can say as a Mom that's been swaying for a year almost timing is the least important thing to worry about Look up Ingender.com!!
Also your temps should tell u When you O I wouldnt start the P until u get CH!!!

I ended up doing another o test this evening, and neg this time. So, we ended up deciding to try tonight anyway, hoping that means o is going to happen real soon. I think I'll keep doing the opk's though just to be sure. Normally I can rely on temps, but they're all screwed up bc of this dang trip. Not being able to temp one am, this am temp was disturbed, not to mention I'm three hours out of my usual time zone. I hope that as a few days progress, I can figure it out. This has been one wacky cycle. I think I'll be shocked if I get a + this month. Thanks, sis, for the link. I'll check that out.

Hi ladies,

Momof3, can you put a little angel next to my BFP? We have lost another one.
Feeling...angry. We are trying to decide what to do next, as we have the option of going to a doctor here. I hesitated on doing that earlier because my last doctor here (the one who DX my blighted ovum and performed my D&C in 2011) was a bit of a blowhard. But it is the best hospital here...the other major hospital here is waaaay overcrowded and I feel I would be relegated to cattle status.
Still, that D&C resulted in the conception of DD, and I think that is something I need to pursue with a doc here.
I am so thankful for my DD. This tells me once again what a miracle she is.
Anyway, rambling a bit. Just wanted to vent to a sympathetic audience.
I won't disappear, but I certainly won't be testing again in December. On to January for me!
Ugh.

Older mum, I am so so sorry

Thanks, guys. I knew there was trouble when my nausea went away yesterday...sure enough, the test was waaaaaaay lighter today than four days ago. Tested with other types of tests to be sure. Yup, chemical.

No, no, noooooooo!!!! Muthering gotingdamnit to fking hell! Ugh! I'm so sorry doll! It's just not right, it's not fair . I hope you can get in with a doc that's right for you soon. I keep reading about taking 5,000mcg of FA for those of us that are over 35 (in fact I'm sure you've seen even the thread someone posted in this forum). Also, have you been tested for MTHFR mutation? I don't know that much about it but IIRC it causes your body to not use the FA properly. There's one poster I've seen, Curligirl, that had 3 losses before finding she had the mutation as well as Protein S and C deficiencies I think (my sister has Protein S deficiency and clotting issues, she's had a m/c at 15 weeks, lost a baby to PTL at 24 weeks, and had a m/c around 6 weeks; she had a daughter and a son b/w the first two losses and the last loss and needs blood thinners to carry to term). Curligirl was put on high dose FA, conceived her son, and carried to term. As a precaution I take 800mcg methyl folate on top of the 800mcg FA in my prenatal but who knows if that's enough and I've not seemed to have issue with my boys but . I just hate this has to be so hard for some of us . I don't know if any of this rambling helps but that's what was on my mind and I put it out there. Big to you. It just sucks so bad and I'm sorry it happened again...

Your post made me laugh, thanks- I needed that!
Yeah, I will up my dose of FA, I think I need to roughly double it (was taking about 2400mcg). Maybe I will totally go off of caffeine (lowered dose this month to under 50mg/day). As I said in an earlier post, I am not sure if the docs here do those advanced tests...but I should ask to be sure. I think that I have some immune issues, and I also think I should have a repeat HSG done to make sure these chemicals aren't ectopics (I have endo, so it is possible).
Sigh. I hope the wait isn't too long to see a specialist....
