Morning ladies

Meg sorry you re feeling yukky - i suffered terribly and found that ginger biscuits and ginger ale - the non alcoholic stuff not ginger beer helped lots. Its a great sign!! Not long till the next scan now OMG a mouse i would have died!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Barbs gosh so exciting the countdown is on, i really hope you are taking things easy i so pray that embryo is digging in deep!!

Erin sorry about your bleeding, it does sound like to me it was strong ov bleeding or a cyst, sometimes clomid can irritate your insides a little as it is forcing a strong ovulation ...i was told that i may bleed i think (can't promise as was so long ago but it rings a bell!) Great that you got your pos eeek ladies you are all so close together! I'd def ask for a scan hun next cycle just to check its not a cyst - if it is they can give u some meds to help keep it in check or worst case remove it which is quite simple.

Nat great news on your temp rise - i'd say you BD at the right time as once the temp rise has happened its ususally too late anyway! So hopefully those sammy sperms are charging full pelt after your egg hehe. I'm so sorry DH was in a mood and you are upset these bloody men can be a nightmare They also have no understanding of how delicate we feel at certin points of the month grrrrrrr

Thanks for your kind words ladies on family politics i'm ok today, mum and i have always had a great relationship i hope this doesn't spoil things as i'm not prepared to budge on it haha :0 Well after me saying about the darkish opk yesterday todays is totally stark white so hopefully now it will build up again and get darker! We BD last night just to get started as i really don't know when i will 0.....told oh there was no chance of getting preggy i was just feeling cheeky - he didn't believe me lol i had to show him my chart lol lol lol I'm trying to keep him sweet so when the time comes he can't complain too much hehehe. Hope i don't have to wait too long for my 0. I'm wondering if i will get the same as i have the last 2 months...a positive opk CD14 but no temprise then 2 days of pos opk's much later on followed by ov.....makes timing BD hard as I have to assume the first one is actual 0 just incase...... Harrison is much better today so i'm hoping we have turned a corner

Hi Sis hope you are ok.

Sorry if i've missed anything i'm a bit like a zombie today as not had much sleep at all for the last week! x

Hey Barb. I did tell DH but unfortunately he didn't listen. I told him three times no stopping for a drink after and when we get to their house he puts me on the spot with "what do ya say Meg?" Hmmm I did have daggers at that moment. Afterwards I said DH I told you I was not feeling well and need to go home and he's like well it's not as if you were throwing up?? I said never again!! lol and I mean it ....

Off to get ready for work. I am dreading it right now with this fatigue and whatever else is to come lol xx time for some Cheerios

And my cat is an indoor cat. Think she got it in the basement. Sigh. Terrorist cat !

Because you weren't barfing that made it OK?! UGH
He' owes you BIG!!!

How are you feeling today btw!? YEs, happy Blue Berry! lol

 

[nimbec]

I'd second that Barbs!!!! hehe and yes HAPPY BLUEBERRY week can't wait to see you as a watermellon - bump pics will be necessary with each fruit then i think?

 

[Petzy]

Ohhh oh ....happy blueberry week meggy .

Natalie xxx

Omg hehe I didnt notice at all what the heck you guys were talking about and then I clicked in! Thanks girls A blueberry! Been upgraded hehe....

Just as I was typing that i feel good so far today I felt a wave of crampy/queasy lol.. its hard to explain - its not really nausea but its a bit crampy and queasy - sort of like the feeling when AF is coming on... anywhoo a bit of that at the moment but hopefully it passes I have my preggo sour candies with me at work now haha - may need to stock up soon.

1 week and one day till next scan. Nervous. Oh well i will distract myself with all your testing!!

 

[eyemom]

I agree with Barbs too! I'm thinking he owes you a foot massage and a day out, maybe a mani/pedi or something.

I was doing the OPKs pretty frequently, got my first positive last night (it was for sure negative yesterday morning), and I already have a higher temp this morning. Not as reliable b/c I was up in the middle of the night briefly, then I temped after 4 solid hours of sleep. Usually this doesn't throw my temps off so much so I'm wondering if I could have ovulated already...? Less than 12 hours after my LH surge?

 

[barbikins]

The mind is strong, Meg. You could convince yourself you're queasy. I've done it many times LOL

Acutally I'm having these weird pangs right now. Crampy. Although Doc said this can happen. Although I'm also bloated. So I'm not sure what's causing it.

Erin, if you went back to sleep & slept I think is ti 2 hours strait, you're OK? Smth like this.

 

[eyemom]

Barb hope it's all fine and it's just doing that because something good is happening in there!

I've heard 5 hours is best, but minimum 3 hours. So it's not ideal but shouldn't be too bad? So probably a real temp spike. So weird! I kinda makes me hope that the weird thing that happened was related to O, but I'm still not convinced since at that time I had for sure not had my LH surge yet.

 

[nimbec]

Hi all ....i've become a bit of a gurue for temping with broken sleep as Harrison is still up SEVERAL times in the night grrrr I have found that as long as you have 2hrs its ok - stable enough to spot ov however i've had to use a bbt ajuster calculater at times as i've not been asleep at the right times - it seems to have worked the last 2-3 cycles however this cycle my temps are all over the place which is a real pain as i'm not going to know if i get the 2 surges when i ovulated lol typical

Great that u got your spike and you bd'd before it lots so at least you don't have to wait aaaaaages to be in the dreaded 2ww. Hope to join you all there soon!

meg sorry u are having 'waves' of nausea uuuugh but hey its all worth it!

Barbs sorry you are feeling off too - hopefully a good thing! If you are very bloated do you think its worth a phone call to the clinic? I know when i was ready to start they where very concerened about OHSS although i believe this happens before transfer...i'm sure you are waaaaaayyyy more informed than me though so feel free to tell me to shut up! haha

As for me i'm having a relaxing night with hubby so i will wish you all a good evening and speak tomorrow xx

 

[eyemom]

Meg hope you're feeling alright. That queasy feeling is as bad as it got for me with DD. Hopefully that's the worst of it. Not that it's pleasant but at least you feel pregnant, ya know?

Thanks Becky. Yeah honestly I wouldn't think anything of using a temp after 4 hours of sleep as I've done it several times (not recent) when DD was younger. I was just more inclined to question it because I was NOT expecting my temp to spike until tomorrow morning. The timeline leading up to O has just been totally weird. I think we'll still DTD tonight just in case.

If I end up having to do a few more rounds of Clomid (which I expect I will), I for sure won't be waiting on a +OPK to get busy! Glad we covered our bases this time. At least I think we BD enough, but if I ovulated earlier on CD14, we just DTD on CD12 and later on CD14. I know that's enough but I still kinda wish we'd BD on CD13 as well.

Have a great night.

Oh and I got reply back from my Dr office. I messaged the nurse a couple of times with my original question then answering her follow-up questions:

Dr. _____ reviewed your message. He said that he thought it sounded like you ovulated. If your pain continues he would recommend and ultrasound to make sure a cyst did not develop.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions,

To which I replied:

I hope it was just ovulation! Thanks for getting back to me. Does he think then that the cramping and bleeding were from ovulating? Is it likely that would have happened before I detected my LH surge? I had 2 negative OPKs the night before the cramping/bleeding, then another negative OPK the morning after the cramping/bleeding, then the +OPK that evening after.

 

[Petzy]

Becky have a great night with DH.... you deserve it! xo

 

[Petzy]

Erin thats great you got a reply from the Dr. Office! Was that on email or what?

 

[barbikins]

Erin, that's good news if they believe you ovulated. I wonder if Clomid screws things up with your OPKs. Maybe do some reading or ask the nurse if it would alter the results?
Fingers Crossed it was Ovulation!

Becky, have a great night with your man
And I should be in the clear of OHSS. I have digestive issues so I get bloated. Plus a bit maybe from the cycle but there's no real pain or major discomforts. My bloating is on/off. Also I do believe it's usually around ER that it would have been evident. Naw, I'm not worried about that

ARGH Can it be Feb 1st, already? Thanks.

There's a thing we can log into to view all our appointments, lab results, etc. And there's an area where I can send any of my providers a message (similar to email but just within this site we log into). So then we were able to message back and forth on that. I get an automated email whenever there are any updates on my account, so then I know to log in and view my messages.

Wow that is freaking awesome!! I wish I had that haha... And I thought we had it good!

 

[eyemom]

Haha it is nice! Sometimes I can see my lab results within just a couple of hours.

I got a reply from the nurse. She said:

"Hi Erin~
Yes, he did feel it was from ovulation. From here we would wait to see what happens at the end of your cycle and to see if you have a period. Please continue to keep track of your symptoms and let us know."

So...if I continue to cramp and I get a period, then I'm looking at an u/s before I do my next round. But for now we'll just hope that everything continues to be ok and I get a BFP.

Maybe I just released Super-Egg(s)!!??

I guess we just wait and see.

I feel ever so slightly crampy, just when I'm sitting still. It's not enough to notice when I'm moving about or not thinking about it. The really mild stuff I would have halfway expected...?

I'm already having fake symptoms too. Did I post this already in this thread? I already have sensitive nipples.

 

[Petzy]

All my fingers and toes are crossed for you Erin! Xx let the symptom spotting begin lol !

 

[eyemom]

Hahaha I don't think my sanity can bear it, lol. Besides isn't it pointless until implantation time anyway.
