I'm so desperate to poas

Lol meeeee toooooo!!! I hate the two week torture!! Since using opks it drives me nuts cuz I just know we did everything right and it "should" happen!!!!! No symptoms bubble guts but that's normal my boobies don't even hurt yet which is common for now maybe I didn't o???

 

[Poppy84]

I have absolutely zero symptoms so far.

The TWW is the absolute WORST! Good luck you guys!

I'm so desperate to poas

Aww Poppy Just remember the longer you wait, the more reliable the results!

AFM, I am still waiting to O. Did TWO OPKs today ... I know, I know, bad girl! And both had nothing more then a faint line So now I have 3 OPKs left. I guess I will have to stop at the dollar store tomorrow or the day after and pick up some more! Well I'm hoping it will come up positive before I need to buy more lol. I for sure have ewcm today. Although its not as much, nor as stretchy as what I am used to. Nonetheless, it is still ewcm! Probably won't be any BD'ing tonight as DB and my work schedules don't work out well today. He worked all day, so if he works tomorrow (he's a temp so his shifts get cancelled sometimes) he'll be asleep when I'm finished my evening shift at the hospital.

Also, I think that whether I get a BFN or BFP, at the end of this cycle, I'm going to be going to the walk-in near my apartment that has specialists on site. I have believed for the last couple of years that I have hypothyroidism. My family doctor didn't do much about it, saying that a TSH of 9.5 was not 10, so it wasn't hypothyroidism, even though I had positive thyroid antibodies. He did get an ultrasound of my thyroid, and sent me to an endocrinoloist since I wanted to, but it seems even she didn't think I had it either. Anyway, since I've started doing my temps in the morning, I've noticed that they are REALLY low. I've been as low as 95.3 F. I remember when doing the FF certificate, they showed a chart with low temps (and mine are lower then the example they used) and that if your temps always seemed low, you should get your doctor to test your TSH and progesterone. So this really makes me think I really and truly have a thyroid issue that no one else but me seems to realize! For all I know, it could have caused my miscarriage (as having thyroid issues increases your chance of miscarrying!)

i hope you are able to get someone who will help you, Shellie. that is so frustrating! 9.5 seems close enough to 10 to me! i hope you get some answers. my friend knows a girl who had 2 mmc's and it turns out they were due to thyroid issues. she now has a beautiful daughter.

another bfn for me this morning. maybe tomorrow.

I think i really should start buying OPK's. I didnt buy any last time and it just happened. I had my last HCG test on 23rd, the one before that was on the 17th, that was 40 and the one on the 23rd was below 5 but i think my HCG went to normal mid last week as my MC started increasing and changing but i dont know if i ovulated, im starting to feel like i dont want sex unless its gauranteed to get me pregnant and we have only been trying for a week or so lol i just want to go back to being pregnant and planning the year around me, e.g. not drinking, not being able to do certain things etc.....being unpregnant sucks! ha xx

Ahh I know exactly what you mean its prob worse for me tho bc we do use opks so we know we are baby making on top of using preseed and we tried my diva cup this month!! So sec is more like a surgery lol thank God the boy is amazing and is totally uneffected for the most part hes just like "sex yeaha" some men cant take the pressure so..anyway if it happened quick the first time it will surely happen fast this time

Whats a diva cup lol and also do you know what FF is?? that is true, i think im better off not buying OPKs because as you said, you got the added pressure, right now we just do it every other day which suites me fine, before we were trying we would only about twice a week haha it doesnt bother me if I dont have it lol im too tired all the time, yeh my OH thinks of it as a good thing, so hes fine!!

 

[too_scared]

FF is fertility friend, a website used to track your signs and temps if you decide to do it. if you don't want pressure then you definitely don't want ff...

 

[CherylC3]

Hey I didn't start using OPKs till jan and fell pg straight away so I just wish I started using them before then cos I came off the pill in may last yr ntnp and we do hav a good sex life and do it around 3 times a week and I didnt get my BFP till I used them so I just now wish I didn't waste all tht time not knowing when I was oing...xx

 

[MissMummyMoo]

Just a quick question girls. I had a slight bleed 18 days ago and I don't know if that was my AF or not. I was on holiday last week and done 2 OPK's ... one on Monday and one on Wednesday/Thursday (can't remember when ) and both were negative. Done OPK's daily since Monday and all have been negative again. Could I have ovulated between my last OPK and Sunday as technically I would have been 13/14 days after the bleed. If I could have ovulated when would I test? x

 

[too_scared]

mrs mmm, are you tracking your cm? ewcm is a good indicator to know if you have ov'd or not, but even that is not 100%. opk's are 100% either. the only way to know for sure if you have ov'd is to temp.

i really wish that i could help you. i know how horrible it is to be in limbo and not know what is going on with your body. i was in the same place after my mmc. have you seen your dr lately? maybe they will be able to give you an idea?

i am considering not using opk's next cycle... :S i don't know if i will be able to survive it without poas! i am temping now so i think i might try this cycle without opk's because i find poas is really obsessive and maybe not too healthy for me. i don't know. i am considering it now but who knows what will happen when the time gets closer.

 

[MissMummyMoo]

I don't know what my CM is like normally so no I haven't been tracking it. Yeah I know it's really really annoying! I've been to my doctors a couple of weeks ago and she never really said much tbh! I am thinking about taking my pill again to try and force a period. I have never TTC before and think temping is just way too complicated for me ... especially as I haven't had AF yet either!

This is probably going to be a bit TMI and totally off the mark but I guess google does that! I have had a few lumps on my vulva for a while ... upon googling I am almost 100% certain that they are sebaceous (sp?) cysts. Upon reading more info, they are caused by blocked sebaceous glands, swollen hair follicles and excessive testosterone production. Now I also looked into excessive testosterone production and it can cause miscarriages. I am wondering if this high level of testosterone may have caused my miscarriage. I have also read that excessive testosterone can cause irregular periods ... this could also be why I haven't yet had a period. I am probably reading into it WAY too much and am completely off the mark but I am thinking of heading to the doctors and mentioning this and maybe having a test to check my testosterone levels I just want to know x

ETA: Just had a quick look about high testosterone and some of the symptoms are hair loss which I've had for a few months now and acne which I have had for a good few years and am currently o medication for it ... maybe I should look at a trip to the doctors x

 

[too_scared]

dr. google can sure be scary! i think that if you have concerns you should go to the dr. but i don't think that self diagnosis is good for your mental health i have done it before too. i hope you get some answers soon!

I completely agree with too scared! I have convinced myself I had many a horrible disease by google searching symptoms. In fact, my DH has banned me from doing it any more because, while I am usually very level-headed and rational, google self-diagnosis makes me absolutely go CRAZY! But if you are concerned, definitely go see you doctor and I hope you get some clear answers!

 

[too_scared]

mrs. mmm, i also wanted to mention that temping is not at all complicated. i was like you before i started temping, thinking i would never be able to do it, thinking it was too much for me. but, now that i have started it is actually very easy. i promise i just set my alarm for the same time every day, take my temp, enter it into my phone ff app, and then roll back over and go to sleep if it is not a work day.
