My New Year's Resolution: Get pregnant. Anyone else? SIX BFPs so far!!!

[Sis4Us]

Thanks Ladies..... I'm sure most women will disagree but I just don't see how Asperation will help in the long run!!!

I'm sure once all my Hormones are Balanced I won't have all these problems.... I just know if I take BC it will only mask the issue or make my hormones worse!!!
Hope everyone can understand!!!!

Sorry to hear PBl..... At least testing will help iron out the issues!!!
Looks like UR OHs is better than mine... My DH motility is not good but dr says its Doable

 

[Sis4Us]

Hey ladies questions on these Cheapies ..... Does the test line get lighter as LH approaches???
My test line is lighter and the LH is a tad darker than yesterday???
Gotta figure this out so I can get an US!!!
Thanks

Sis, the test line for me is usually blaring dark when I O--it's supposed to be darker than the control line, but you'll get to know your patterns. I only test in the AM, which makes it easy, but if you're doing it in the afternoon you want to be consistent about time since last pee.

AFM, the u/s looked good. Now waiting on blood work results and will start Femara tomorrow!

 

[Sis4Us]

I meant the control line was lighter and the test a tad darker than yesterday!!!

That's good news so no cyst or anything ??? It was prob. To early for any follies huh??
Glad to hear it went well hope ur bloodwork does too!!!

 

[pbl_ge]

The control line is meant to be a comparison point for the specific test as a whole. If you were to analyze it scientifically, you would set the darkness of the control line at 100% and calculate the darkness of the test line relative to it. Hope that makes sense.

They saw follies, but they wanted me very early in the cycle so that they could discern cysts from developing follies.

Sis, PBL is right. The tests can be different for everybody but you will learn what yours is. I typically have a fade in and fade out pattern over a course of 4-5 days. My test line gets really dark but not quite as dark as control. That is how I know when my test is positive. I am not typical I guess, but I read some women do not produce enough LH as the test measures to produce their definition of a true positive. (aka as dark as or darker than the control) We have confirmation I ovulated this cycle and I think I ovulate every cycle. Just how my body is. Also probably why the digital tests never worked for me.

You will figure it out!

 

[Sis4Us]

Yes I hope so .... My LH line was darker this AM but then it was completely gone when I test this Afternoon!!!
Hope I ovulate this month!!!

 

[Elphabaa77]

I find testing in the afternoon can be difficult if I have drank a lot of water. My pee is more dilute and sometimes my test does appear slightly lighter. Drives me nuts!

 

[Sis4Us]

I think maybe that was my case cuz it was GONE.... This AM the line is still lighter than yesterday's but my temps dropped so we will see!!!

I'm afraid I'm not going to ovulate cuz of the Cyst

Hope I'm wrong!!!

I have to go get this stupid Rootcanal done today so hopefully that won't Jack everything Up!!!

Elphabaa .... Did the get U??? Sorry If she did .... Your cycles are gettin back to norm lookin

 

[pbl_ge]

I'm afraid I'm not going to ovulate cuz of the Cyst

That definitely happens.

Hope the root canal goes okay!

 

[Sis4Us]

I've never NOT gotten a +OPK for the past 2 yrs been testing !!!! This is just crazy

Do u guys ever get a dark day then a light day then a dark day???
I'm hoping my surge come back Tom but I had EWCM yesterday and today sticky!!

FX!!!!!!

Rootcanal... Done... After 2hrs drilling 3hrs in the chair!!!!
Lunch Time BD..... Done .... Time for a rest B4 I get the boys!!!

 

[Elphabaa77]

I haven't really got a dark then light then dark again but it could happen. Especially if you have trouble ovulating your first follicle then your body can select a second dominant follicle to ovulate 3-5 days later.

I am spotting today but AF will be here either overnight or tomorrow I am positive.

 

[Sis4Us]

Sorry to Hear AF might be heading your way.... Hope she stays away!!!!
Ur cycles look shorter and a Lil More Reg which is a good thing and Ur P went up which is even better!!! Hope u get that BFP soon!!!!

I'm kinda afraid I was gearing up to O yesterday and the Cyst blocked it.... It's still early so hopefully I'm just being negative!!
Hopefully I'll get a darker line in the AM I've been Oing CD13 since starting the Vitex so I'm a Few days Away... DH and I are BDing everyday just in case!!!

 

[Milty]

BF have you started your meds yet?

 

[Butterfly67]

No milty I'm starting in 10 days time

 

[Sis4Us]

Well my temp dropped again this AM but the OPK is still very very Faint!!!

Not sure if I should just go ahead and get the US to be dissapointed or wait till Tom!!

Really afraid it is trying to go on the left side Again

Got a Lunchtime BD just incase!!!!! FX

Happy Hump Day Lovely Ladies!!!!

Hi ladies!

Hope you're all doing well. I think most people on this thread are waiting to O , which is always the LEAST exciting part about TTC.

Elphaba, so sorry AF got you. But at least you can expect a shorter cycle again! Did you talk to your doc?

Ooooh, Milty, you're in the TWW! How's that going?

Sis, hope you O soon. Seems like it might be coming! How was the root canal?

Sweet, I saw in your journal you're not feeling well. I hope you have a quick recovery!

Bf -- NINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's coming up!!!!

Jax, how are you, lovely?

AFM, lots going on over here. All test results have come in, and everything looks good. The problem is that I've had a constant, mild pain near my left ovary for about 10 months, which I thought was a cyst. If it's not (no cysts on the sono), then something ELSE is wrong, which means they now suspect endo. So I have a consult next week to discuss possible laparoscopic surgery. Had about a 48 hour full-blown freak out, but I think I'm okay now. I'd really like to find out what's wrong in there.

In the meantime, I'm on day 3 of taking Femara. We shall see!

 

[Sis4Us]

Pbl.... Sorry to hear about the Endo.... But they could be totally wrong so don't get down about it!!! : hugs:

I've been feeling sick to my stomach since yesterday hoping its not the Cyst and it's just lash back from the Rootcanal !!!!

GL everyone!!!

 

[Elphabaa77]

PBL - Glad all your blood work looked good! Not so glad for the suspected Endo. BUT even with Endo, women get pregnant! I have a friend from college that was diagnosed with PCOS AND Endo. It took a trip to the RE and some Clomid, but she did get pregnant! Twice! She was also in her mid-thirties when she got pregnant, so not necessarily a spring chicken. It can happen, so if that is the diagnosis at least you know you are doing the right things to get past it and still conceive! You got this! Good luck with the Femara!

Sis - I am sorry your cycles are still being troublesome for you. I hope it isn't the cyst, but probably best to check and make sure.

BF - Good luck with the meds!

AFM - I called the clinic today and scheduled my day 3 blood work for tomorrow at 8:30 am. Then we shall see if my FSH and Estradiol levels are good or bad and go from there!

I also called for my Clomid and Estradiol prescription. Going to mention the fact I have had 2 anxiety attacks this past cycle when I haven't had one in over 6 years. It's probably worth letting the doctor know. I probably SHOULD tell them that I more than likely won't be around at 7 dpo for my progesterone test this cycle since I will be on vacation in South Carolina. I did the math, and if my cycle is like last cycle I will not be here! So I am afraid to tell them that, because they could cancel my Clomid cycle this time. So I think I will just 'forget' to mention it and then call when I ovulate. If I ovulate earlier this cycle everything will be A-O-K! But if I don't... then it won't. Right now Day 20 should fall on Monday, June 3rd. We leave on Friday, June 7th. I need to ovulate before June 1st to make it work. I don't think it should be that big of a deal for me to miss the test this month since I do temp chart and track my cycles. If I do ovulate early again, my temps are elevated again, and my luteal phase is 14 days again, no reason to assume my progesterone is bad? So I think I will just fail to mention the fact I won't be around.

to all!

 

[Sis4Us]

Elphabaa .... Sounds good to me FX u O earlier!!!

AFM... Got a +OPK this Am went for US and guess what I have a 17 mm Follie on my right side!!!! We have BD every day this week so FX!!!
