Thanks for the thyroid info and link clandestine. I went to my doctors fully equipped with new knowledge and I have been given a low dose of the medication to get my levels back into normal. I found website link helpful also. Its lovely to have the support and network on this thread.

10 dpo tomorrow, I haven't tested so far. Do I test? or wait it out? Usually I would have done 3 tests by now! X

Oh, and my mil was over yesterday and my dog jumped up on her lap on the couch. She just showed me a bruise on her leg and said my dog did it. Fml!

Oh Hopeful, not fun - hope you're okay now.

Well cd 3 ultrasound went well. I had follicles on both side so hard to tell which one i ovulated from. She did day it's a myth that you ovulate alternating sides each month and that the right tube can catch the egg from the left tube so that's a bummer. I have my cd 13 ultrasound July 29th to see which side I'm dominate on. Fingers crossed its the right side! For now picking up my clomid and noverall.

Oh and I got married today!!!!!

AFM Well, I had a very interesting day. We planned a big day with our niece. All was going nicely until the air conditioning stopped putting out cold air. It was EXTREMELY warm and we were about 30-40 minutes from home and about 20-25 minutes from our destination. I'm in the backseat fanning her with a magazine, playing, and entertaining. Everyone else is fine. I'm feeling very warm and end up vomiting in the car before we can pull off the main roadway. Heat exhaustion at its finest, I guess. I do not get sick like that often, but I cannot stop it when I do. We pull over and she exits the vehicle with my husband to get me a super dorky shirt while I repeatedly tell her not to look at me. Trust me-it's not the way you want to see anyone and not a lasting image I want her to have. Can it get worse? Yes, finding nothing else to use in the car I pull out a feminine product and use it to clean before they get back. Husband and niece return with said dorky shirt and a mixture of wet and dry paper towels. I definitely feel much better by this point and we go on our way to our destination. Husband then buys a new pair of jeans at a shop while we wait in the restroom. I finally emerge in a new outfit, feeling somewhat better, and we spend the rest of the day enjoying ourselves. Okay, I did still feel a little queasy and a bit unlike myself, but it all worked out. We all soldiered on and I've made a decision. I suggest it to you all as well. I'm going to carry a plastic bag with me on all car trips from here on. I usually have something, but I will be certain from here on![/QUOTE]

Oh no! Hope you feel better!!!

 

[Kalush]

Hopeful - hope you are feeling better.

Dannixo - congrats!

Momwithbabies - glad you have a game plan, fingers crossed for a quick bfp!

Burgbrandy - glad they are going to do something about the dog.

Mamapeaches/mommyxofxone - sorry about the witch

Hell YES. So glad there seem to be a lot more doctors willing to listen to reason/ solid science these days!

Whether or not to test is "whatever you are comfortable doing" - I will say, from now on, I'm going to try my best to wait to test until I have a reason to (e.g. late cycle start).

Just talked to health dept. They had been notified by the hospital. They sent out a letter to them yesterday to make them quarantine the dog for 10 days and then they must provide proof from a vet of rabies vaccination. The dog warden told me that they will come out hopefully today and deem the dog dangerous and they will have 10 days to contest. If they contest, we will be in court. If not, they will either put it down or take it away.

Oh, and my mil was over yesterday and my dog jumped up on her lap on the couch. She just showed me a bruise on her leg and said my dog did it. Fml!

Glad they were notified. And if they put it down before the 10 days, it'll have to be rabies tested, and then well that would be just really sad. And i'm pretty sure the health dept. makes them pay for that too.

and lol to your mil! figures!!!

i don't know your history on what that's a bummer about the egg switching but awesome about getting married!!! congrats!!!

HA! i say that to my self almost every time, i'm going to wait to test til it's a late cycle. i never can!!! it's a disease i swear. my favorite is the times i test the day of af, because it's not there, and then she shows up like 15 minutes after i test.

@mommyxofxone: I've been an admitted POAS-aholic from the start - usually started around 7 or 8 DPO. And then I had those faint lines on the el cheapos last cycle, so I am now done with el cheapos and done with early testing. 99% sure it wasn't a CP, just wonky tests - roller coaster was not fun and I'd rather test less, been so much testing the last 9 months. So taking a break, at least that's the plan... we'll have to see if I can hold myself to that at the end of this cycle!

 

[mommyxofxone]

i hope you can!!!

 

[Kalush]

Clandestine - Good luck taking a break and trying not to test. I did the same thing when ttc DD, I decided to not test early because I was tired of being disappointed for even longer. It didn't work out too well though, I think I ended up testing at 11dpo after work one day after realizing I had some nausea for the last 3 days. I'm not sure I'll be able to this time if I ever make it to 10 dpo, I may have to test.

I think I may actually be Oing today or tomorrow. After the opk's were being annoying I stopped, so just going on cm and such this month. We've been good with the bd and will try to keep it every other day at least for awhile longer. I'm trying to stop obsessing so much. No more spending all my free time reading the same information over and over again. I know what things I can try, other than time or DD suddenly wanting to stop bf. So I'm going to start catching up on some for fun reading, I'm really behind in my book clubs for the month. Also trying to catch up on my sleep from the week, it's tough with the hot weather. I try going to bed early and end up laying in bed being really hot wishing I was sleeping.

 

[Dannixo]

Thank you ladies for the congratulations!

 

[Hopeful2014]

@momwithbabies Thanks! I'm with you! I will not go without those things now!! We were actually borrowing one of my husband's parents cars. They serviced it before we left, but none of us knew that would happen!

@mommyxofxone Thanks! I'm all better today. I totally understand the waiting process. I feel like I'm always waiting for something.

@gabbygabz Thanks! I will never leave home without one again! I plan to put a couple plastic bags and some paper towels in both of our cars for any future problems. I hope you never need it, but it will be so good to be prepared!

@burgbrandy Let us know how it goes.

@Lazydaisys I'm so glad to hear that your doctor is working with you and that it should all get sorted out. Good patience on testing!! If you test, I would wait until 11 dpo (seems to be the first day when a false negative is somewhat less likely on stats) or you could wait until right before af might come. Great patience so far!!

@KatyW Thanks! I'm much better today. How are you?

@Dannixo Fingers crossed for the right side! Congratulations!

@nikkilucky77 Thanks! It was definitely unexpected. I hope all of you try to stay cool in this weather! How are you?

@Kalush Thanks, I do feel much better! I totally agree about reading the same information over and over again! I do it all the time and every cycle. I keep looking and hoping to find new information or I guess just hoping something new will pop out at me. Bding as much as possible and following your own body signals will definitely be good! I have a stack of books I want to read. I need more motivation!

@ClandestineTX I tested in March because I was a little off from my usual cycle number and it was my first time temping so I wasn't used to lp length. I noticed I would always dip a little on 13 dpo so I told myself I will only test on 13 dpo if I still have a high or higher temp. It was in June that I did have a higher temp on 13 dpo. I had the three faint positives that month after af was due. I only tested in July because I was so confused about ovulation date since the sites disagreed, but I'm back to the waiting to test until a high temp on 13 dpo.

Congratulations, Danni, on getting married!

Hopeful - I'm glad you're feeling better. I'm doing well, fun weekend planned, start of a new cycle (AF came today) so we can move on to this month.

Thanks. I hate every time af comes (even before ttc) but I know this month will be better for both of us!
