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

[Milty]

Pbl: to be honest my 2 WW is not good. I hate to say this but I think my docs Pregnitude plan is not going to work for me. It's causing me shorter LP, lower temps and spotting.

I'm a little down about it because I'm just not sure if there is anything left for me to try except IVF. Which I'm not likely to do.

 

[pbl_ge]

Milty. Hopefully someone who knows more about pregnitude will weigh in, as I know nothing. I do hope you have other options!

 

[Milty]

Ugh almost forgot...

Laps are not really bad ...

 

[SweetMel]

Milty, I don't know anything about pregnatude. Sorry.

Elpha, sounds like a good plan. It will be interesting to see how your cycle is this month.

Pebble, I hope you don't have endo. What kind of surgery?

Sis, looks like you will o soon. Good luck.

BF, it won't be too much longer. Yea!

I'm feeling better. That was the toughest sore throat I've ever had. I think illness delayed o because I'm having o pains again at like cd 27 and still waiting for a good temp shift. My chart is crazy if you care to check it out.

 

[Sis4Us]

Sweet... Your temps are all over the place but illness will do that !!!
Did u test w OPKs this month or just going by temp... I kinda see a O around cd17 but maybe that's when u got sick
GL

AFM.... Still getting a Blaring + OPK this AM hope that eggy is takin its sweet time getting nice and big!!!
Idk when the last time I actually Od on a Normal cycle of CD14-15

Hope everyone has a Great Friday and a Super Saturday!!!

Milty - How long have you been taking Pregnitude again? It caused some really funky things to happen to my cycle the first 2 months I was taking it... but by the 3rd month (which was my second cycle) it had helped me to ovulate sooner than my norm. It never really did much for my luteal phase length or my progesterone levels though. Also, it doesn't work for everybody unfortunately. I wouldn't say it has done a TON for me... but I know women with PCOS who were 100% annovulatory before taking Pregnitude and after about 3-4 months of Pregnitude their cycles returned. So that is pretty huge for them. I also know it did help my insulin resistance some, but not enough to stop taking my Metformin completely. It just takes 3-6 months to see full results for most people.

AFM, I just wanted to pop in and show off my day 3 test results! For once, a test to REALLY be proud of!
Estradiol: 29.7 (they like it to be less than 50)
FSH: 7.74 (they like it to be 10 or less)

So, according to all that I am completely normal and should have plenty of eggies left! Now to just keep making them suckers mature properly!

Had to come share....... but now back to my busy work Friday! 13 hour days on Friday should be outlawed!

Sis, funny story about those opks I ordered. I ordered them from Amazon, and granted I haven't bought a whole lot of stuff off the internet, but I'm getting the hang of it. lol. Anyway, I ordered three things: a battery for my HTC EVO phone, a bottle of lavender essential oil, and the pack of opks and preg tests. I received a few emails after that telling me there was something wrong with my card. There was nothing wrong as far as I could tell. Several days later I recieved the lavender EO, and the battery, but I never did get the opks. It is the strangest thing. I don't think I was meant to have them. If they would have come, I would most definately gotten upset at having to pee on them everyday for at least two weeks straight. As for the temps, crazy right? I could almost think that I o'd on cd18 because that is the only time this cycle that my cm was stretchy, but it seems like I've had o pains since then. For example, yesterday I felt a little frisky, had right side pains for about an hour, and then my temp jumped up to 98.08 this morning. I'd like to think I finally o'd.

 

[Milty]

Sweet I think you were gearing up to O but didn't because you were sick. Now you probably have a second follie coming around...maybe

Elph: I actually just finished my 4 th month. I think since I don't have PCOS it's lowering my testosterone to low or something. To be honest I really don't know because I usually have a strong O

 

[Sis4Us]

Elphabaa ...... !!!!!!

Sweet.... Oh well just do it to it!!!!!!

Milty..... wait does that say BFP???

AFM..... Think I Od last nite or this AM..... Been tired all day and my BBs are starting to hurt.... P must be increasing!!

 

[Sis4Us]

Ok ladies FF still hasn't given me Crosshairs .... My temp has gone up Lil by Lil.... I need to know if I can take my P???
Thanks for the Help!!!

 

[pbl_ge]

Sis, you're *probably* safe to start with the P. Does your doc tell you which dpo you're supposed to start? If you got one more good high temp in your could be confident. I'm not sure anything bad would happen if you waited a day, but you could probably start if you like living on the wild side.

Sweet, sorry about the shipping annoyances. Looks like you finally did O! Hope you caught the eggy!

Nothing new for me. Just waiting for the scan and consult on Wed.

 

[Butterfly67]

I agree with Pebs sis, you will prob get crosshairs tomorrow. I thought a lot of people started P at 3dpo so no harm in waiting

 

[Sis4Us]

K ladies Thanks .... Just getting worried cuz those Red lines haven't shown!!!

Wondering why.. I'm guessing cuz my temp increase is so small

Kinda afraid something went Amuck !!!

 

[Butterfly67]

Well yu won't get crosshairs til 3 dpo and likely you O'd on cd14 or 15 os either tomorrow or the day after I would think

 

[Sis4Us]

Well still no Crosshairs today I must have Od on Sat according to FF!!!

I feel like Poo... Itchy Scratchy Throat Sneezing ache body!!!!
Boo Boo Boo

 

[Elphabaa77]

Well still no Crosshairs today I must have Od on Sat according to FF!!!

I feel like Poo... Itchy Scratchy Throat Sneezing ache body!!!!
Boo Boo Boo

Looks like more than likely tomorrow FF will give you cross hairs indicating you O'd on Saturday. Your Saturday temp was right on par with your prior 6 temps, so probably considered it your actual O versus Friday.

 

[Sis4Us]

Yea that's what I figured too!!!

Just wondering why I'm the only one w this cold BS now
Hope I feel better Tom. I hate being Sick... No ones Got Time For that!!!!

 

[SweetMel]

No ones Got Time For that!!!!

You will have to try my sore throat recipe. Here it is incase you didn't write it down. 4 tablespoons wild honey, 4 minced garlic cloves, and 1 teaspoon ground red pepper. mix and take one teaspoon each hour. It works! But if it doesn't, your breath will be so awesome that no body will want to mess with you.

I just got a sore throat yesterday but tbh I'd rather have that than try your recipe

 

[pbl_ge]

There's a hippie restaurant in Seattle that serves a similar Flu buster drink. Measurements here are approximate:
1 c OJ
1 c apple juice
1/2 c lemon juice
1 tbsp ground fresh garlic
1 tsp cayenne
Honey (or agave for the vegans) to taste

Drink *hot*.

It's actually quite wonderful!
