January testers?

[krissie328]

Ash that has got to be very hard to deal with. Hugs, and hope you get your bfp soon!

Afm, I got my first bfp at 12 dpo along with some brown spotting. Then at 13 still getting bfp with more brown spotting. Then this morning at 14 dpo bfp and no sign of spotting yet. Could this still be from implantation and just not making its way out until now?

Good luck to all those that haven't tested yet this month!

Congrats!

Hey ladies- sorry I haven't been around much. I am having an anovulatory cycle and just feeling really down. I am thinking I will start my 10 days of progesterone tonight.

Hi ladies! I was out for a couple days waiting for the witch to leave and she finally did. I am CD 6 and will hopefully start the SMEP method in a couple days. Also getting opk digis today to start using in a few days.

Congrats on all the BFPs. Looks like it's starting to be a lucky month!!

I'm so sorry Ash, that is really hard when babies are having babies. And it's hard to hear where it happens after one "try" and here we are on multiple cycles. Hugs!!

And I missed the intro:
My name Leah I'm 29, DH is 38. We have a 7 yr old son and 15 month old daughter. 3 fur children (Ava, Samson and Bruzer) DH is a stay at home dad and I work in a hospital.

Well...I thought I was out, but I now have vvf lines on a bluecross, a truestick, and a clinical guard. What are the odds that all 3 are wrong? Waiting here until I have enough saved up for a digital and ept. I'll be ok if they're false...I was already there mentally, but really really hope this is it. Fingers crossed!!!

Hi guys! I talked a few days ago about still losing uteran lining and weird cycles and such so I wanted to update. I'm currently being kept in the hospital for a few days. I'm pregnant, but they can't tell yet if I'm miscarrying, having an eptopic, or it's viable. I had horrible pains last night and started bleeding (at day 19, so very unusual) and apparently it was from my ovary having a large cyst that started to bleed into my abdomen. They're monitoring my numbers now, so far they're right in the middle, so it's possible it's early viable pregnancy or that they're falling from miscarriage.

I won't know more for two more days unless things get worse. What a crazy way to start the new year!

This ept is a bit clearer. What do you all think? Dare I say you can put me down as a BFP?

Def BFP!! Congrats!!!

That's definitely a line! Congrats!!

I'm thinking I'll have CH tomorrow or day after. We are going to be at my sisters tonight and will be drinking so my temp will probably be up. If I can still manage to get a decent amount of sleep and temp at a decent time I will still temp tomorrow but if we stay at my sisters (which we probably will just to be safe, even though I live about 10 minutes down the road) then that may not happen.

Looks like if I O'd on CD18-19 then AF is due Jan 8-9 (10 day LP), so my test date is the 10th/11th. That's still early at only 11DPO but AF will be 1 day late at that point. If I wait all the way until I get into the middle of the week then I don't know if I can handle it before work and I don't know if I can hold off until the following weekend!

SugarBeth Oh no! Hope everything is okay!! Keep us updated as you get more info.

Krissie - Sorry about this cycle. Is the 10 day of progesterone to force you to have a period and start your cycle over?

This ept is a bit clearer. What do you all think? Dare I say you can put me down as a BFP?

Def BFP!!!!! Congrats!!!!!

 

[mrscletus]

SugarBeth... Hope everything is ok and that pregnancy is viable.

Congrats to those with BFPs already!

AFM- I got my pos OPK today.. Well this evening. So we will be going for 3 days! Have already done some serious bd'ing this cycle... Just hoping it's all paying off!

 

[lesondemavie]

I'm so sorry to hear that you're going through that SugarBeth. I'm hoping for the best for you and your family.

I'm also sorry to hear about your cycle Krissie. Hoping for the best in the next cycle! FX to you!

 

[krissie328]

Angel- yes it is to force start a period.

 

[krissie328]

This ept is a bit clearer. What do you all think? Dare I say you can put me down as a BFP?

Definitely a bfp. Congrats!

 

[krissie328]

SugarBeth, I'm sorry things are so confusing. Fx it is a viable pregnancy.

 

[Frizzabelle]

Sorry to hear you are in hospital sugarbeth, really hoping this is a viable pregnancy for you and you are home resting soon!

Congrats on all the bfps! So exciting xx

 

[Weebles]

I'm out for the 1st. But I get to test twice this month so please put me back on for the 28th!

 

[mrscletus]

Not a big rise today after the positive OPK, so guessing I am going to be O'ing today, tomorrow at the latest. Things didn't work out for last night, but today isn't too late, and no use in forcing DH when he is tired. I'm sure we can still catch it this month!

 

[SugarBeth]

Thanks everyone. I'm currently bleeding a bit, but they still can't tell if it's just ovary cyst bleeding or miscarriage (or what kind of miscarriage). Trying to hang in there until tomorrow when we get the answers. I wanted a bfp for January so badly, but this is definitely not what I was envisioning!

You wouldn't have guessed how much our situations are alike.. Last march I had this same cervical procedure because of my abnormal pap and CIN3 levels. Please feel free to ask any questions you'd like. The procedure itself was fine. Just one day of menstruallike cramps. The days after I felt tired and sometimes some discomfort. After a week I was good to go. We waited 4 weeks to have sex again. Last september I had my first check up and I was fine with a pap1.
I totally know what you mean about having the full 30% chances. But hey, we just need one shot right? FX for sure for both of us!

I got a note from my doctor that my pap was abnormal this year. It's been 3 years of normal but this time abnormal again but thankfully negative for HPV and the cancer cells are negative too. She said that the procedures have changed and since I'm now in the 30+ category (oh yay....I'm old..... ) even though it was abnormal I don't have to do another pap for 3 years because the tests were negative. I was unsure about this and asked some follow up questions (via the messaging portal my clinic has) so she made a point ot call me today and go over the new recommendations from the cancer guidelines and stuff. I really do love my doctor. She also said that if waiting 3 years makes me uncomfortable we can do another pap in a year, not a problem, but she doesn't think I need one in another few months. Unless I get pregnant and then we'll do a follow up.

I had something very similar a few years ago, an abnormal pap and then 3 months later another abnormal so they had the biopsy and it was abnormal so I had to go in and have a procedure done. Thankfully it was negative for cancer but they had to get rid of the cells and while I don't remember which procedure they did for me, it was not too bad. I was a little miserable for a couple days (a little worse than PMS cramps), and bleeding (but not allowed to wear a tampon, which was the worst of it because I am sensitive and pads make me uncomfortable) and really swollen for about 2 weeks I think. I don't remember how long we abstained from sex because it was years ago and I was with my ex, who was an ass and I tried to avoid sex most of the time anyway.

Good luck! Really hope you get that peak smiley soon though!!

I wanted to thank you both for your comments about my situation. I've been better about it since TTC this cycle, but I was so upset and anxious about it when I found out. I've had an abnormal pap result before but I didn't have to have follow up testing. And I'm positive for HPV, which of course I have one of the two worst strains for grubby cervical cancer.

But yea, I had an abnormal pap this year, then I went in for a closer look and a biopsy (she took two). One biopsy was normal but the other one came back as moderate to severe or between CIN II and CIN III. And since CIN III is the last step before it turns into cervical cancer, the doctor recommends a LEEP procedure. It's a minor surgical procedure and they remove the abnormal parts of your cervix. It's supposed to be pretty successful (though if it's not and you have to go back for a second procedure, there's greater risk for the negative possibilities). And I've read plenty of stories where everything was fine and women went on to have perfectly healthy pregnancies. But of course, you also find plenty of not so great stories. I'm worried about those "small chance" possibilities (difficulty getting pregnant, difficulty carrying a pregnancy to term, scarring making delivery more difficult) since I feel like I haven't had the greatest luck so far *lol* I've always been somewhat worried about not being able to/having difficulty having kids (for no reason whatsoever). But then I had two early mc's last year. That combined with this gives me a significant amount of anxiety. And I think not being able to have kids scares me just as much the big C. (I might add that I find it completely ridiculous that I have to worry about the word cancer at 27)

So after talking to the doctor and DH, we decided to schedule the surgery. Which is set for Jan 19th right now. DH and I are giving this cycle a shot. I know it's like a 30% chance, so I feel like if it happens then it's meant to be right now. Otherwise I'll have the procedure and we'll start TTCing in March or April. Original plan was the summer, but with everything, we've moved plans up. Hopefully, if I have the procedure this month, all the abnormal cells will be taken care of. But if I go back after 3 months for the follow up and there's still abnormal cells, I won't have another procedure until we have a baby. I won't risk the possibilities of a second procedure before we have a child.

Sorry for the epic post, it just all came out!
