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

[pathos]

I had no obvious symptoms. i fell asleep after dinner few times begore af was due. After bfp, I remember i was worried about lack of symptoms - and only after quickening my worries eased.

Kksy9b, i cannot recall you had pcos or something? I hope you wont need intervention and can take a relaxed approach ( if that exists), good luck.

 

[kksy9b]

Pathos- thank you! I hope we caych quickly too! no, I don't have pcos or anything. We were very fortunate with DS that we caught on the third cycle (my cycles were always perfect- 28 days, O day 14). However, pregnancy, nursing and weight loss have meant I have not had a normal cycle since then. DS weaned last September and was having short LP cycles (9 days). After a couple cycles, my doctor put me on AC and b6 to try and regulate. I've had 5 full cycles since then - 2 anovulatory, 2 with a short LP and one good one (12 day LP). I started temping this cycle and am hopeful I ovulated yesterday or today. Its one thing if I'm getting an egg out and not catching- its another if I Dont even have a shot. Really thankful to have a great doctor and hopefully we won't need intervention.

Thanks for reassuring me, ladies. I needed that. I'm still not feeling optimistic but better than the other day. Last night, I had a horrendous bout of diarrhoea. I was literally withering on the couch in pain then ran to the toilet. Afterwards, I rested and about an hour later, I was fine. Very weird.

Hoping you have oed and you have a good length lp.

 

[kksy9b]

Thank you newbie. I got my CH today so now just to see how long LP is. If it follows what it has been, AF would be here next Saturday and then we will finally be trying!

How are you doing????

 

[kksy9b]

Yes, how are you???

 

[newbie2013]

I'm ok. Napped on the couch, fully clothed yesterday for three hours - so unlike me. Really wanted to today as well but couldn't nap. Still not feeling optimistic about it all but we've already spoken about doing a fet as soon as we can if this doesn't work. Blood test isn't until Tuesday but still considering sneaking on tomorrow or Sunday at 9 or 10 dpt. Undecided.

 

[kksy9b]

It will be here so quick. Tiredness is a good sign but I understand about not wanting to get your hopes up.FX your little bean is settling in well

 

[newbie2013]

I'm spotting. Only a little and it looks like old blood. I keep trying to tell myself that it is very common and likely nothing to worry about, but af is due tomorrow... maybe it is on the way. I can't bring myself to tell Dh because I know he'll worry and won't understand that it is common. Going to try to clear my mind and get some sleep. Hopefully, by morning, it will have stopped.

 

[kksy9b]

 

[newbie2013]

I *think* the spotting has stopped. I spoke to Dh about it this morning. He was very concerned as expected. I tried to reassure him.

Did your temps confirm o?

 

[newbie2013]

Spotting has not stopped. I am extremely stressed and can't find a way to relax. F***!

 

[kksy9b]

Oh newbie, I hope it eases up for you. Is it red or brown? I know lots of women will get brown blood around when their period is due

 

[newbie2013]

Brown. Like old blood. Just read this: In my experience, where I use vaginal progesterone on all patients, I see almost 90+% of them complain of some light bleeding.

I'm taking it vaginally... Feeling relieved to a point.

 

[athena87]

Newbie sending prayers and sticky vibes your way!

 

[kksy9b]

I'm glad you have a little relief. Has there been any more?

 

[newbie2013]

Yes, but just spotting. Nothing heavier. Hopefully it will have stopped by the morning. Good night!

 

[ProfWife]

Yeah, vaginal progesterone can do that to a LOT of people (makes vessels swell, sometimes irritates the cervix). I'm surprised they don't have you doing progesterone in oil shots. That's the most common among my friends who have done IVF (6 different pregnancies).

Try to hang tight. You're almost to your blood test!

 

[newbie2013]

You may not remember that I don't live in the west. Here there is the oddest mix of modern technology (ie. I did icsi) and super old school (suppositories). I'm going to send my doctor a message today to let him know and see what he says. Maybe I'll go in for an early beta to put my mind ant ease. If I do, I'll get them to check my progesterone as well. Maybe that's a bit low...

 

[newbie2013]

Spotting seems to have slowed again! Thank goodness. Thanks for posting about possible irritation from the suppositories. I asked Dr. Google... And tried it (tmi, sorry) in the back door this morning. Seriously yuck but I have had hardly any leak out and apparently it absorbs much quicker that way. None lost, getting the full amount and no aggravation to my cervix. I can suck up the disgusting feeling for that - at least while I'm at home this week (thank goodness for an early spring break!).

Will consider buying a hpt IF I go out today, which is unlikely at this point. Midday and still isn't my pjs!
