Mama Bears TTC a rainbow - join us :)-- (69 ladies so far)-(29 BFP's!)

Spirit, I had sometimes regular cycles with femara. Femara changed it to always regular cycles. Stuff is awesome for making you ovulate on time. The trigger helps even more by making sure that egg pops when it is at optimal health. I hope that helps with all the chemical pregnancies(cps) I know you said you were experiencing in the other thread. Everyone here has lost a pregnancy here, or 2 or 3 or many more. Sorry you had to go through them too. It is frustrating and sad to see those lines go away.

Your doctor is spot on with her advice. Cps can happen when the follicle holds on to the egg for too long. So even if your cycle is "regular". It might not be kicking out the egg while it is still viable. My doctor is doing this step with us also this month. It also helps your post ovulation progesterone since you get good follicles, which can be another cause for recurrent loss.

That's a great way to explain it. I was hesitant at first because I didn't feel that the problem was fertilization since it was starting to work frequently, but it does make sense that the egg could not be released at the right time and making it unable to move on with the pregnancy.

And, great news that it doesn't seem to change your periods or cycles at all. After the first cp, my periods had become really painful and a little irregular (whereas they used to be spot on 30 days)- I also started getting terrible pms symptoms I had never experienced before that were really disrupting things (breasts so painful for 1.5 weeks each month I'd be in tears, terrible cramping for 1.5 weeks each month before period started, extreme fatigue etc.) and I worked really hard (with acupuncture etc.) to get everything back on track- I think it had just completely thrown my hormones out of whack.

So, that is why I was also hesitant to start something medical- I was worried about throwing things off balance again. Good to know that it has a very short half life.

We are going to take it easy for cycle 10 (just started) and then will do fermera/ultra-sound/trigger shot cycle 11.

It's almost the New Year, here's to healthy pregnancies and babies in 2015!!

Well I presented hubby with his early Christmas pressie and he refused to open a pressie early as it goes against his principles... grrrrrr... so I changed it to an end of term pressie and he opened it. All he managed to say was wow...! Not often he is stuck for words. Now just gotta see if we can keep quiet over Christmas. Its well known I like a few drinks. .

 

[GingerPanda]

Who doesn't like early presents?!

His reaction was cute. Keep a wine glass filled with dark grape juice or something. No one will know.



AFM, temp dropped below coverline this morning. Expecting AF either tomorrow or the day after.

 

[hmmohrma]

Yay Bug!!! Everything of mine is crossed that lines keeps darkening!

I'm back online because I'm on winter break from my students! After two cycles past d&c we have been given permission to ttc again! All my testing came back normal, so let's hope for no more bad luck!

You can certainly fake the drinks! Just make sure you or DH make them. Nobody will notice if they're all drinking, too. Congrats and Merry christmas!

 

[confuzion]

Yay for trying again hmm! I agree with the other nugget, fake it! Love the reaction

GP, must be nice to finally see what a normal LP is like for you?

 

[Squig34]

Good luck hmm!

Ha ha Nugget

Good luck for the next cycle GP - I know you had mixed feelings for this.
