MAY we all be blessed with baby! May 2013 and beyond (BFFs Seeking BFPs)

You could always start taking the cream as soon as you get ur bfp, then when u call to schedule an appt, tell them u have been using progesterone cream. Most drs will prescribe pills/suppositories if u tell then u have been using cream because the pills give u a set dose where the cream can vary if u use just a tiny bit more or less.

I thought the cream would be taken as soon as ovulation is confirmed by a temperature spike?

From what I have read you are not supposed to use the cream until after ovulation.

That's terrible they won't see you earlier. Do you think if you take your charts to them as sort of evidence of low temperatures and any short luteal phases that might encourage them since it is hard evidence that they can see. What about a midwife or seeing someone else?

"Low progesterone can be detected by a blood test after ovulation or by charting fertility. Another sign of low progesterone is a shortened luteal phase that lasts less than 10 days." Perhaps you can say here are my fertility charts that show my temperatures and luteal phases, now help me! You could ask for a blood test after ovulation to determine progesterone levels. It seems that if they do not want to see you that they should have to perform this test at least. If the blood test shows low levels that would be the next piece of evidence to show them. I know it is so hard to demand the coverage we all deserve. I feel uncomfortable speaking up for myself sometimes.

Is there something else she could do?

Ok I am having major troubles sleeping. I was in bed and every time I woke up it made me mad so I left the bed. This is very strange for me cause I can always go back to sleep, ALWAYS!! Part of my problem is my nose, and the back of my throat is very dry!! It shouldn't be cause we have finally had a big melt here so the air is moist. Then on top of it I am HOT! OMG I am sorry for this. I am just so frustrated and need some sleep!

 

[pennymarie]

I can try all that because if they say no, then they say no. And they might say "why not?" and that would be worth it. Just so nervous....

I can't sleep either; an hour ago I started AF-like cramps. Like my period is going to start NOW...we shall see

Bottom-line: I want to do everything I can. I'll probably try a doctor, but if my temperature is too low. I'm using the cream.

The bump suites you!so cute in it.

 

[lesh07]

Well got no symptoms yet. But then only a couple of days past O so don't think they would start just yet anyway. Really hoping that by the end of the year I can say "I'm pregnant" xxx

@pennymarie I've been looking for some information for you. I am including links to sites that may help.

Link One: speaks to the issue of Louisiana's medical plan and a law that mandates coverage for diagnosis and treatment.

Link Two: listings and reviews of fertility clinics/doctors in Louisiana.

Link Three: how to boost progesterone through food.

Link Four: how to test for low progesterone.

Link Five: a blog from two women who struggled with low progesterone, difficult doctors, and found success.

Hope it helps somewhat.

Ladies I have a charting question. This morning about five minutes before my temping alarm was due to go off my son came through to our room and I obviously sat up and spoke to him etc then I seen the time so I took my temp anyway but do I bother putting it on my chart as its not accurate or what?

 

[Hopeful2014]

How is everyone else doing? Waiting to ovulate, having any symptoms, struggling to wait to test, let me know!!



I had the worst right-sided pain today- my cbe opk was positive and my ff predicted o today, so I'm pretty sure that's what was going on. Gonna be pretty impatient for the next two weeks! Ach.

That's so awesome that all of the signs matched up perfectly! That takes some of the guessing out for sure. Good luck!

I think I would add it to the chart unless it was extremely off from what you're expecting right now. Perhaps add it and just make a note to remind yourself what happened. If you notice it impacts the chart after tomorrow's temp you could discard it to see what happens and then always allow it to be added again. I imagine that it should be fairly accurate as long as you had about the right amount of sleep and you didn't move around too much.

Honestly when I was charting last month and in the tww I would sometimes take my temp again after I laid there to see where it was. (I know...I know...that's crazy) However, there was never a large difference in the two temps. Sometimes people say it goes up a bit, but I noticed mine would drop a small amount. That's probably from taking the comforter off. But it was never much of a difference.

Is it an off temp compared to others?

 

[burgbrandy]

I'd leave the temp and make a note of it.

And yes, u can start the progesterone cream after o is confirmed. Some drs just don't prescribe it until after a bfp.

I always add it cause usually i need to potty before i can temp , anything more then a half hour off i don't put on my chart

Welcome to our group! I'm really sorry about your loss. It's hard when those dates come. I really hope that if April turns out not to be your month that May gives you a BFP. Fingers crossed.

Hi ladies. Need some advice. I am officially 2 dpo but i am convinced that I O'd on day 10 and this afternoon have all of a sudden been suffering with very loose bowels. Does anyone know If this is a early pregnancy symptom???

I had some in my early part of this cycle and now I am a bit constipated/dry, cause (sorry tmi) there was blood and it hurt!!

 

[lesh07]

I just all of a sudden felt this urge to run to the toilet and I never really suffer with loose bowels (It has made me very sore).The only time I do is at the end of my pregnancies just before I go into labor. I don't want to read to much into it as It is only my 1st month ttc our next baby and I think that as it usually takes us around 2 years it's unlikely to happen this quick. xxxx
