How exciting Caroline, I hope this is finally your cycle!!

Are you on the progesterone again?

Yes. I'll start the progesterone on Tuesday.

I think I'm going to temp until I get my crosshairs and then stop. I got my hopes up too high last time and I just don't think I can do it again.

Your temps are looking good so far!

 

[foquita]

yay caroline! I've got everything crossed for you

so we have rachel and caroline in the 2WW? hope we get two BFPs

I'm just waiting to O, two days to go to see if I ovulate at the same time as I did last cycle, fingers crossed I do!

it's 5.57am here and I'm en route to work listening to the same prince song on repeat

does anyone watch breaking bad? we're on season 3 and I'm hooked!

 

[mrsc81]

Yes love breaking bad, only seen season 1 though i think, im trying to get them on blu ray but dont think there released here yet, can only import them.

 

[bnporter81]

Thank you girls for your input on the Provera.I'm still waiting to see when I can get an appt...I'm supposed to call back in and check for an opening next week. I've just been researching and trying to educate myself on what is typcially prescribed. I saw that it also came in 2.5 mg. form and I was just wondering what women usually get for inducing AF. Nothing much going on here. I have dotted crosshairs today but I'm not getting excited over it since I've already had that happen once this cycleHowever, it would be nice to actually have an AF and not stress out over it. At this point, I just want a period and conceiving would just be an added bonus...how awful is that?

Rachel, your temps are looking awesome!

Caroline, I hope this cycle will be it for you and Rachel. A couple more BFPs in here would be great!

Nat, I'm so glad your body is not giving you the long cycles like you had beforeI know it must make you feel better that your body is starting to cooperate

Well, back to waiting, waiting, waiting

 

[Rachel789]

Nat-I really hope you do end up O'ing on the same cd again, that would be amazing!! Keep us posted.

I LOVE breaking bad. DH and I watched seasons 1-4 in a matter of two weeks and are now watching the current season. It's our new favorite show.

Caroline-I don't blame you for stopping the temping. I keep going back and forth with stopping but I get so addicted to it during the TWW. I may stop when I get closer to AF being due.

Bethany-I don't want to get your hopes up but it really does look like you might have o'ed. I hope your temps stay up!

 

[Diddums]

Beth I agree with Rachel. It really does look like you might have ovulated. Fingers crossed that is the case! And I totally know how you feel about getting AF. I've had to wait 6.5 months and only got AF because of the provera! I honk 10mg over 10 days is the average provera dose.

Good luck to those in the TWW. AF is on her way out and I'm taking third dose of soy tonight. Fingers crossed I O! Xxx

 

[raventtc]

ok i don't know what breaking bad is, so now i have to look it up

caroline i totally understand not temping cause sometimes our temps can look soo good and af shows...i have thought about not temping too, but like rachel said its like i am addicted. i don't even have to set an alarm most times cause i just wake up when i am supposed to take it and then go back to sleep. last night i woke up at 3am and couldn't sleep it was crazy i just kept laying there telling myself to go to sleep now since 6:30 comes early!! and it did indeed. now i am back to working from home but with that comes getting up early...oh well such is life!

talk to you ladies later!!

 

[Diddums]

Evening ladies

Breaking bad is excellent! Currently watching the 4th season with hubby

Just been on a quick 4 miles cycle before bed to keep exercise levels up I'm very proud of myself. Taking this exercise and healthy eating thing going and being happy while doing it

 

[MommyDream]

So glad to hear about the healthy eating a exercise Kayta! Well done!! hooray!

Raven/Bethany/Rachel - great looking charts! FX'd for you!

Nat - I just started watching Breaking Bad (mid season whatever season is on right now), but I think I need to watch starting from Season 1 because I don't know whats going on!!

All is well with me - I have a 9 week ultrasound on August 31st and am excited to see the heartbeat again and just get reassurance that all is well. The only issue I have is living in fear of going into the office for work some days. This is definitely TMI, but ever since my BFP, I feel literally like I have IBS (irritable bowel syndrome). I'll suddenly feel like I have to go and its within minutes that I have to go (and sometimes I'm meeting with people etc etc, and not close to home!) - and not fun at all.... LOL. So no morning sickness or nausea but just runny poop. Joyful, I know

 

[jbk]

Hey ladies!! My FX'd for all of you!! Hoping we will all get May-ish babies!! Congrats to those who are in their pregnancies and a H&H 9! I currently had a positive OPK last night and this morning on Day 17 of my 40 day cycle. Hoping this is also my month. I have never been able to feel the ovulation pains and I have this month so hopefully a good sign!!

 

[foquita]

bethany I agree that it looks like you've ovulated for real this time

thanks everyone, I hope I do too - my OPKs have so far been negative but I'm really hoping for a + today meaning I will O tomorrow! I've got my hopes up so high, I'll be so disappointed if I don't but I'll get over it, I think we are all used to dealing with disappointment it'll just be another one to add to the long line

I am really struggling to keep up with BnB, I avoid coming on because I don't have the energy emotionally to catch up with all the journals and I don't want people to think I'm rude it's just taking me so much to muster up enough energy to give people support

so glad other people watch breaking bad, lil you've got to watch it right from the start!! I don't know what we'll do when it's finished!

 

[mrsc81]

Well done on the exercise and healthy eating Katya

Nat i see youve got your fertility appt tomorrow, good luck with that

 

[bnporter81]

Thank you, NatI hope you get your positive today!! And yes, it does kind of look like I O'd, but I'm still skeptical. I mean, I never got a positive OPK in the days leading up to my temp. spike. And as of last night I'm getting a pretty dark like on my OPK...kind of like I might O. soon. If I had already ovulated wouldn't that surge be gone and my line would be really light?I'm sooo confused over it all.

 

[Rachel789]

Nat-good luck at your appt tomorrow! Will you be finding out any test results? What will you be doing?

I really hope you get your + opk today, keep us posted.

I totally understand what you mean by having trouble offering support when you are going through so much emotionally yourself. Take all the time you need away from bnb. I feel like that a lot too these days.

I feel like I am going through Breaking Bad withdrawl because it is only on once a week DH and I watched seasons 1-4, we wathced 2-4 episodes a night for about two weeks. Then the new season started and it was only on once a week, that is a hard transition! There are only two more episodes and then we have to wait a whole year Next summer is the last season. Well technically this is the last season now, they made season 5 into one long season so 8 episodes this summer and 8 next summer and its over

Bethany- With that temp increase today, you had to have o'ed! Not sure what your opks are doing but I wouldnt worry. A lot of times I wouldnt get a + opk before I o'ed. When were you able to BD around O time?

I slept REALLY bad last night, woke up every hour if not more. This seems to happen to me a lot after I O so it must be hormonal. But I HATE it

 

[foquita]

thank you louise

Bethany don't worry about the OPK today, you've had false positives a few times haven't you? going by your temps it looks so promising

Katya I can't remember if I said this already - well done on your weight loss

rach, I'll be getting my AMH results tomorrow every single appointment I've had has brought bad news so I just can't shake the feeling that the results will be bad I can't wait for it to be over. then they'll give me either clomid or femara I'm hoping they don't want to monitor me because I want to do it in my own time! if I ovulate tomorrow I don't know if I'll even take it to be honest.

gahhh that sounds like torture! I might wait until the first part of the fifth series is done and then watch it all at once

 

[Rachel789]

Nat-I wouldnt worry about the results for your AMH. I had mine done and they were really high and that is normal with people that have PCOS. So odds are you have tons of eggs

In regards to taking meds or not if your cycle is still normal. Some people still take meds even if their cycle is normal because it typically helps you have a stronger and better ovulation with a longer LP. My LP increased a day or two and my temps were a fair amount higher which to me indicated a better O. So you may want to still consider the meds but if you are not comfortable with them then obv do what makes you feel better.

 

[foquita]

I probably will then just wasn't sure whether it was worthwhile iykwim?

I know the odds are in my favour but seriously knowing my luck I will be pre menopausal or something

 

[Rachel789]

I understand not wanting to get anymore bad news. That's why I was so nervous for my appt last week because I felt like all I get is bad news.

Check out this article about AMH levels https://www.advancedfertility.com/amh-fertility-test.htm and if you scroll down you will see a chart that shows normal levels and how the higher range says often PCOS. My AMH level was. 13.11 which is really high but it means I have a lot of eggs. I think having that many follies can make PCOS patients good responders to meds but sometimes with injectables you can respond too well and have OHSS.

 

[foquita]

fingers crossed mine is high too then, I will feel relieved after the appointment that's for sure! I just want it over with, I hate them

I hate this whole bloody thing
