Wow, there was so much to catch up on.

Good luck to everyone testing soon and nearing ovulation. Glad all the new moms are getting acquainted with their little ones. Glad to see those who are pregnant reaching milestones. Lisa, sorry about your recent loss.

AFM, I quit my job yesterday. I hated it, and it was time to go. I'm dealing with some clinical depression, and I have limited energy these days. Fortunately, it has lead to weight loss, and I only have one pound to go before I am no longer over 200 lbs. So, usually the weight loss would be bad, but for someone who has been trying to do so for a while, I'll take it. I hate to go back on meds, but I don't have a choice.

DTD yesterday on CD 14 after having some pretty intense ovulation cramps, so I'm hoping I got lucky this cycle.

 

[Kat S]

ES, I'm so sorry you are having trouble with your depression. Having a job you hate does NOT help. Glad you quit.

Good luck this cycle!!

Stress is physically, mentally, and spiritually draining so good call on leaving behind something that does you more harm than good. GL!

 

[eyemom]

Sorry it didn't pan out ES. Glad you can get out of there.

 

[Pinkcasi]

Good for you es I know you've been hating your job for a while and I know how it can get you down if you have to go somewhere you hate every day, I'm not keen on my job either but unfortunately I can't quit especially now, but I'm lucky that I only have 6 weeks then I'm on maternity leave.

Sorry you're suffering babe, ttc is a super stressful thing for anyone but fig your prone to mental health issues it really takes it's toll I know I've been there.
Glad to hear it's helped the weight loss but be careful you don't go overboard the other way.
You know we're all here for you to bounce off and if you wana chat to someone who has suffered with anxiety, depression and self harm for a great many years then feel free to msg me x

 

[nevergivingup]

Eswemba: sorry to hear about everything going on but great to hear you let one of your stressors go your job no need to be misrable when we can at least do something about this situation. Glad to hear your having strong O cramps. So sending as they say "baby dust" your way ES, you deserve it all! O and I understand ab the weight loss, sorry u had to lose it that way, I hope things turn around for you ES, it has too soon.

Good night ladies.

 

[Starry Night]

ES - sorry that your job wasn't working out but it is important to look after yourself.

 

[ESwemba84]

Thanks everyone for the support. After quitting my job, I have this huge weight lifted off me. I am feeling a bit better!

Today is busy. First I have a job interview to help this woman with a business she runs out of her home. She hand paints wine glasses and needs help with painting and social media. Sounds so much better than the hospital. I love art! Then I have an appointment with my fertility doc to see about rechecking my hormone levels, and getting her opinion on what should come next. Then one more doctors appointment and I'm done. Things are moving in the right direction.

Eyemom, did you test again? If not, when do you plan to?

Kat, I'm hoping you negative turns positive. Or if AF comes, you at least don't have any cysts so you can do IUI next cycle.

Pink, your nursery looks great. Hard to believe you only have a month and a half left of work!

Mowat, hopefully your new doctor (naturopath?) will help. Good luck!

Starry, how are you?

Left, when is your ultrasound? Is it the gender scan?

Never, I love how you're in class and browsing B&B.

Everyone else, I hope you're doing well.

 

[eyemom]

That's sounding great ES!

I haven't tested yet, was going to try to hold out til 12 dpo, which is Monday. We'll see if I make it that long. My guess is probably not.

I feel like I may be getting a yeast infection. It's hard to tell with me because I've had asymptomatic ones but usually it's just itch and no discharge. Maybe I've just never let it go long enough, but I'venever had the discharge.

Anyway, started feeling itchy last night, and this morning I can hardly stand it. Last time this happened it was a few days before I found out I was pregnant with the one I ultimately lost. I put that down to using too much Pre~Seed though. This time there was really nothing out of the ordinary.

 

[Starry Night]

ES - good luck with the interview! That sounds like a great opportunity for you! And since the woman is working from home I'm sure it will be a more relaxed environment. It could be the right place for you! And your day does sound quite busy! I hope you find the doctors' appointments helpful and reassuring.

eyemom - yeast infections are terrible. I hope you aren't coming down with one.

afm - last night I thought I was starting to get 'signs' and I started to feel excited but I think I ate something that didn't agree with me as this morning I feel normal and "out" again. I plan on testing Wednesday so if 'signs' don't start appearing over the weekend I won't be holding out much hope for the testing.

 

[Pinkcasi]

Oh good es an interview already you sound very pro active about it all.

Eyemom good luck for mon or however long you can hold out lol

Good luck to starry too fx'd for wed for you.

I've just come back fr seeing the physio, I have crutches and a girdle which is basically just tuby grip for support round bump and pelvic area.

She gave a few tips like tensing my pelvic floor before getting up or sitting down, Wowey that's amazing it doesn't hurt! The crutches really help as I was sorta limping before but on both sides the crutches just help support a bit.
Gotta go back and see her in a few weeks to talk about labour argh! Perhaps a water birth would be better.

 

[Kat S]

Starry, fingers crossed!! Signs are good!

AFM, got my period this morning. Out yet again. Hopefully I won't have cysts again and can finally go back to doing IUI.

 

[Starry Night]

Well, yesterday afternoon I started to feel quite off and gagged a few times and now this morning I woke up with terrible nausea. It's calmed down for now but my stomach feels "jumpy". No fever, headache or diarrhoea or other signs of a bug or food poisoning at the moment. Starting to feel like maybe I can start crossing my fingers and hoping. Up until yesterday I really felt "out". Wednesday can not get here soon enough. I have a few other of my "signs checklist" being ticked off too but they're minor ones that could have other explanations. We'll see if these feelings pass or not.

Kat - sorry that AF caught you. When do you get checked for cysts? I hope they don't find any and you can continue with IUI.

 

[eyemom]

twitchy thumb on my phone, duplicate post

 

[eyemom]

Oh starry I'm so hopeful for you.

Afm there had been a few subtle things that gave me a tiny bit of hope, but I am really feeling out now. I always get insomnia before my period starts. No problems falling asleep, but I wake up way too early and can't fall back asleep. Usually it starts sooner, so that was one more thing that was giving me hope...but it just started yesterday morning. Yesterday I woke up at 5:55 am. Which sucked but wasn't horrible. But now it's 3:30 am and I can only hope I'll be able to get a little more sleep at some point. From what I gather, the insomnia is a result of the estrogen and progesterone going back down.

I can't even temp properly when it's like this. It's frustrating on so many levels. At least when it's like this I can look forward to my period because it's relief from the exhaustion.

 

[mowat]

Good luck Eyemom and Starry. Really hoping this is your month. Sorry to hear AF got you Kat. Can you do the at home method and do IUI too this month? I'm not sure how all that works.

My temperature is finally rising and FF gave me some cross hairs this morning. Yeah for ovulation! Anyone know if the luteal phase stays the same even if the first part of my cycle was longer? I need to do my hormone test 8 days before AF, but I don't know how to figure that out unless I assume my luteal phase will be the same length as it used to be before the last miscarriage.

 

[Left wonderin]

Hi MOwat , I am nearly sure it stays the same even if ov has taken longer .

 

[Kat S]

I'll probably go in for my scan tomorrow. Wish me luck that I don't have cysts again!!

Good luck to those testing and those going for O!!

 

[eyemom]

Yes, in general the LP will stay the same no matter how long the follicular phase is. Though mine seemed to change from 12 days to 13/14 after my m/c. No idea if that's typical though.
