LTTTC while feeling left behind Room - Welcome

Then today temp of 97.04??? That's not a post-O temp no matter how ya slice it! Maybe I'm ovulating today still???

Maybe not for you but for me that would be a really high temp I stay around low - mid 36.

 

[oneKnight]

Today I got 98.0. Usually I hit high 97's and low 98's post O. I'm sure I have ovulated now, I feel dry down there now.

But call me Mrs crampy!! I was a bit crampy last night. Then OH wanted to BD this morning, as soon as he got near my cervix I felt cramps and had to call it off! I'm never THAT crampy!
I was finally getting over the HSG-related cramps in my upper abdomen and now I'm campy low near my girly bits.
I feel like one big ball of cramps, although they are pretty mild.

I think I may cancel my blood test this month and try temping all of next month so I can be sure of my O-day. I'd hate to have to pay twice, even though it shouldn't be too much.

Holy moley my temp is "off the charts" today. Since when was 98.6 a BASAL body temp???

Now, I hadn't been asleep very long (3ish hours) and I was thrashing around and woke myself up because I was cold and hubby had tossed my extra blaknet over off his side - so I had to get up to get it and temp'd before I got up. Maybe not accurate?
Slept 5 more hours comfy, with my blankie. Temp was 98.9 when I woke again (vaginally, so not a fever)

So I am getting doubtful the IUI worked. I know I shouldn't have, but I tested this morning and it came back negative. Bloodwork HCG tomorrow afternoon, so I will know for sure, but I'm pretty sure it's not going to be our month. Breasts aren't sore anymore either. Just not looking good. AF should be here this weekend. So frustrated, but I will wait until after tomorrow's result before I get too upset!

 

[Lazydaisys]

Don't be sad, lets see what tomorrow brings first. X

Sib, it ain't over till the fat lady sings!! (or in your case, I guess your blood test)
FX!!


I bought the 5 pack of digi pg tests today, the POAS-addict pack I told OH, it's basically getting a free one!

Got up around 1am to let the dogs out. I was only wearing a T-shirt and leaked something on my leg. Turned out to be watery cm twinged with rust colored spotting!
So either AF is impending a whole week early - which would explain thr cramps and decreased appetite (but my temps are really too high for that) or FX hopefully it's implantation spotting! I am 6dpo, (7 if you consider after-midnight to be the next day) according to FF, though my chart is a bit ambiguous this month. FWIW I always chart things that happen before my longest sleep as the day before - no matter what the clock/date says. Just a habit from working graveyard and I stay consistant with it in my charting.
Or maybe this is just the cycle of the spotting. Can't believe I had both pre-o and post-o spotting for the first time ever in the same cycle, but I hope it's good!

Here's to NO AF when I wake up in the morning!! FX

Got my progesterone results back - low, but not terribly. I think she said 5 and they wanted 6.
I don't feel very progesterone-y this cycle, boobies aren't even sore, and I'm still spotting slightly which could just be low progesterone I guess.

SA results were not so great.
Count great, 30.5million,
morphology fine 6 (they wanted at least 4)
BUT motility 43% out of a desired 50% AND of that "fast motility" only 3% out of a desired 25%
She said "don't worry, it's usable"
And I have a follow up consultation next Tuesday to discuss the results from all these tests.

One knight I really hope it's implantation bleeding! My fingers are crossed for you and sib4owen x

I'm afraid it's not. From what I read, 6 progesterone would be low-normal and I got 5. Regular would be 8-10, and pregnant would be 12-15 so with a level of 5 even if I did have a successful "conception" this month it's probably not gonna stick. If per chance I did ovulate on my second opk peak it will probably be too short of an LP to stick either. AF is due Wednesday the 3rd.

We will discuss progesteone supplements next week, and will probably be on it next cycle - but this one is probably a wash.

I feel.....depressed a little. I thought I would be happy to finally be going somewhere with treatment, but right now I'm just so sick of feeling icky and now knowing it's probably not "worth it" I just want AF to start already, these cramps to get over with, and lets get started on some medication!

And I have an appointment with my GP tomorrow about the residual pain from my HSG and fever. Sure hope I didn't catch a pelvic infection and fuck up my "clear" tubes!!! I'm tired of hurting and feeling bleh from that as well. Been hurting 5 long days and additionally cramping for 2. I also had a particularly hard week at work last week. This week has been physical hell, although I felt unusually chill at work and less stressed than usual, despite the extra long shifts.

Sib4Owen, any update????

 

[oneKnight]

I'm having a bad pain in my right side/stomach/abdomen. Had another x-ray taken of it today, and another blood test. X-ray was clear, looking into my liver function and gall bladder!!! Eek!

My pms-like cramps are minimal now, but I'm still spotting off and on enough to need a liner. I guess either my progesterone is rediculously low this month (no sore boobies, nada) or the hsg just upset my lining for this cycle. I'm not really concerned about it, in light of my other issues. Of course, would be my luck to fall pregnant the month I get a thousand abdominal x-rays and take a lot of pain medicine, but it doesn't seem likely.
I was gonna poas Saturday, but since my progesterone came back so low I think I'll just wait till AF is late - IF she's late.

TMI: AF showed, kinda clumpy and almost a week early.

I went to the ER today because the pain was so bad and I was feeling dizzyish.
The only thing they found wrong was swollen ovaries and a cyst on the side that's not hurting. Maybe I have a cyst bleeding that is causing this intense pain? I dunno but this is AWFUL

That and my potassium was low was probably why I felt faint - I've had very little appetite and been sweating in the heat I'm sure is why.

 

[Lazydaisys]

Sorry your feeling bad and having a rough time. Hope you feel better soon. Any explanation for the swollen ovaries?? Xx

 

[oneKnight]

He said best he can say is from the hsg test, but to follow up with my gyno.
He said I have "complex" ovarian cysts.

 

[oneKnight]

My gyno friggin "retired" Friday afternoon!!!!

Seems suspicious to me, sudden retirement at the end of the work week? Sounds more like retire or get fired.

So I get to see someone else on Tuesday, of the 3 at the clinic I opted for the one that I haven't met yet. So I can judge between him and the one who did my HSG before I decide which one to actually see.
They are also gonna look over my CT scan results.

Hi im new here Me and DH were trying but not preventing for almost 4 years now, haven't gotten pregnant not one time, got both of ourselves checked out, both healthy no problems. Doctor diagnosed us Unexplained. The Doctor referred us to a specialist, We're going to have an IUI scheduled but I'm so scared of disappointments. I don't know what to do??

 

[Lazydaisys]

I'm in a similar situation samoorah. Unexplained and waiting to try iui. It's horrible. I try to protect myself from disappointment which is hard as you have to be hopeful also. I've already prepared myself even for the waiting list time and worrying also about the procedure and of course with it being unexplained there's always that chance of a small miracle before that to stress about.

I've watched loads of iui procedures on YouTube which put my mind at ease. I think it's best to go into it not expecting it work first time then see.

I love your bunny picture it's soo cute xx

I got a job interview for a job that I applied for back in February!!!
It's for police dispatcher and pays way better than my current fast food job, and I expect probably has better benefits and hopefully, better insurance!! I am "happy enough" at my current job, but I told my boss last week if I found one that paid significantly better I would leave and he said him too LOL

I'm just soooooo surprised, I'd almost forgotten about the application! I go see a police captain tomorrow!!
I expect there'll be a drug test lol so I got a copy of all my prescriptions and doctors who prescribed them today from my pharmacy. I have current scripts for 3 "controlled" substances right now from all the pain meds that I've received recently (like, in the past week). I'm all legal of course, but it's laughable that I've never had ANYTHING to remotely possible to even show up on a drug test in all my working years, and now that I've got a great opportunity I'm all doped up! But, like I said, shouldn't have anything to worry about really since it's all prescribed to me.

I saw my new gyno today, I like him. Maybe better than my old one. He said I have a large, hemorrhagic cyst on my left ovary that is bleeding and causing all this pain. He said there really isn't anything to do to make it go away or be absorbed faster. I asked for a script for Tramadol, because the Percocet that my GP prescribed makes me throw up. He did, and said we'd do another scan next cycle to make sure it was gone before proceeding with fertility treatments. He seemed optimistic that we could prevent more and proceed next cycle, moreso than me lol I'm afraid I'll sprout another cyst next time I "ovulate". I'm not even sure I ovulate properly, I think I may have LUFS, but I guess I'll have to wait for a real diagnosis on that.
AF is still going pretty strong, this is a looooong one for me, and quite clumpy. Usually I only get clumps on CD1-2. I hope this is a good clean out of my system, following the HSG!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Lazydaisys]

Ooooh great news on the new job. Sounds good. Glad you like the new gyno.

I'm so nosey, I want to know the real reason the other one suddenly retired. Maybe he won the lottery? X
