I was hoping no one had got a white and dark chocolate Easter egg

Hi peb well I tried one of the bullets in the front door yesterday and today got a wadge of creamy stuff when I wiped so I am reverting to back door just poke it up there at night time and forget about it. My poo does get a bit of a creamy ripple in it the next day (tmi?!) but that's about it

OMG I just laughed so hard I cried.

I see we are All in rare form tonite!!!!!!

 

[Elphabaa77]

bahahahahahahaha that was hilarious! Glad I stopped with the Cadbury Creme Eggs last week!


We didn't end up getting any in while at my sister's on Saturday. We 'tried' to get it in Saturday morning before we left for my sister's, it was part of the reason we decided to stay home Friday night and head up in the morning. BUT hubby's 'issue' crept up like I figured it probably would eventually and he could not finish. I marked on my FF chart that we had sex, but only because I am hoping some of the pre-stuff maybe helped? It only takes one and many of women have gotten pregnant off of the pull out and pray method!

So... I am hoping that we did enough. We got the two days before the positive OPK in and the day after the positive OPK (but before my temp spike) in. So hopefully that will be enough to do the trick. The day of the positive OPK was out of the question because of our stupid work schedules. So I am not feeling overly confident right now, but who knows?

PBL- Did you have trouble at all with the soft cups? I bought those things and have yet to even open the box! I guess I need to 'man up' for next cycle! Were they easy to get out? I am concerned that I will never be able to reach it to get it back out!

[Elphabaa77]

Sis - Sorry the FS was a big let down. This TTC stuff and all the 'tests on certain days of your cycle' get so frustrating! I know I am frustrated and I am only really beginning all of the tests I am sure they will end up doing. Already had the HSG and now the 7dpo blood work. I am sure the day 3 test is coming, but maybe not until I am officially referred to the FS. Good luck!


Went for my blood work (the 7 dpo one) this morning. I was up in the air on whether I was supposed to go 7 days after my positive OPK (like the ignorant, misinforming nurse had told me) or 7 days after ovulation. I figured it probably did not matter 'too' much, especially since they told me if it falls on Sunday, to come in Monday. So I opted for 7 dpo and went first thing this morning. I was there when they opened. The lab tech told me my doctor should have results this afternoon, so they would either call then or early Monday.

Meanwhile... my body is a little bit different this luteal phase. My breasts are not even remotely sore. Usually the soreness is kicking in by 7 dpo, but nothing except a little bit of itchiness. I am also severely bloated... so badly bloated that I am noticing some food aversion. I made mac n cheese yesterday afternoon and couldn't finish it. It tasted funny. Then this morning, my meal replacement shake that is usually quite tasty... well, I could barely choke it down! My belly just feels too full and like I have too much fluid in it? If that makes sense. My bloating is never like this. The biggest thing I have noticed though is that my temps are higher on average than any cycle before. So I would say the Clomid at least helped my progesterone levels this month. Still not ready to start 'hoping' that this will be our month. I hate the feeling of being letdown.

 

[Butterfly67]

Fingers crossed for everyone

 

[pbl_ge]

Wow, lots of promising stuff here!

Wouldn't it be great to good a bunch of BFPs this month! I know Jax had some promising symptoms, too, but THEN SHE WENT AWAY FROM THE INTERNET! So, we're having to wait until Sunday!

What is everyone's philosophy on testing? I used to be a no early test kinda gal, but then I got a bunch of internet cheapies, and things changed. I'm trying to decide when I should start torturing myself with negative HPTs this month. :shrugs: What do you think--11 dpo?

Sis, I baaaaaaaaaarely resisted testing this AM. It's really too early, so I wouldn't worry too much about your bfn. FX it changes to two lines!

Elphaba, let us know when you get your results--FX!

Hugs to one and all!

I'm procrastinating, so should get back to work.

 

[Butterfly67]

I'm an early tester I'm afraid Pebs I figure the tests only cost about 20p each so why not If I don't get a line by 11dpo (like this month) then I am pretty sure it is a no go. However, I know people get BFPs later than that (including myself ) but I think the majority happen by then

 

[Elphabaa77]

Test was bad news... which was particularly devastating since I was quite certain it was going to be good news! I mean, my temps have been up a little more, my boobs aren't sore. I figured if anything, the Clomid was increasing my progesterone a little.

She said my progesterone was 7.5 and they need it to be 10. It was the nurse that I do not like that called. The one that has misinformed me before. She actually said 'your progesterone being 7.5 tells me you did not ovulate.' I will dispute that! I think I DID ovulate, but that it was an immature follicle and immature egg which explains progesterone deficiency. I mean seriously ladies, look at my chart? Or my prior charts for that matter! I ALWAYS have a temp shift right around the time of my positive OPK, and then 11-12 days after the temp shift my temps fall off and AF comes. Even my OBGYN told me in January after seeing my charts that it looks like I ovulate. She was just concerned about my 11-12 day luteal phase. Now I know she had good reason to be concerned!

I know progesterone needs to be 10, so it is obvious I have a luteal phase defect. No progesterone supplements though. She said that was one of the worst things we could do right now as we are trying to figure out how my body responds to the Clomid. If I took a supplement, then my numbers will show normal and they will think the Clomid dose I used worked when maybe it did not. She also did say that I need to take a pregnancy test a week from today (if AF does not show on Thursday like she should). If I DO get a positive, I need to call them immediately so they can get me in and get me on progesterone. My levels are low enough that if I am pregnant, they will want me on it. She did say that I would only be 4 weeks at that point, so if I were to miscarry it would probably happen progesterone or not. I am not really sure that makes a lot of sense to me, other than Friday will already be TOO late because my progesterone will have already plummeted by then.

I have read about doctors who supplement with progesterone at 2 dpo (as well as what you ladies have said) but I have also read of where they only start progesterone once a blood pregnancy test is confirmed. So I guess I just gotta trust?

Onto Clomid 100mg next month......

 

[Elphabaa77]

The past few cycles I am not sure if I ever really tested at all. I just waited for AF to show and figured if she didn't show up when expected I would test.

Given my progesterone situation, I think I am changing my opinion this month. I may even test tomorrow at 8 dpo. If I would by some miracle be pregnant, I want to know ASAP so I can get into my OBGYN and get progesterone supplementation. I don't want to get a positive when I have already seen my temps start to plummet and it is too late to save.

Besides... I think I have the better part of 20 HPT sticks laying around at home. So I can burn through a few to be safe. For me, if I don't see even a hint of a positive at 10 dpo, I pretty much give up since AF will probably show the next morning. My temps dive for a day or two before she arrives.

 

[Sis4Us]

Elphabaa .... I would start testing I wish they would have given me Prog. In Oct I think that is the reason I had a MC and my AF is weird and all over the place !!!
Ive been having the same issue W my stomach... Feel like I swallowed a bowling ball!!!! I've had heartburn and feel like I constantly have to burp..... It's extremely uncomfortable to feel like your Tummy is full to the brim ALL the time!!

FS took my blood Wed fro 7dpo and still I wait

GL Everyone..... FX!!!!!!!

 

[Elphabaa77]

That is crazy Sis! You should have your results by now! Mine was taken at 8:30 am and they called by 3 pm! I would be asking your doc what the hold up is! Was your blood work done in the office or did you have to go to and outside lab? Mine was right in my OBGYN's office. Maybe that makes a difference?

 

[Sis4Us]

It was done in the office but by a Lab Corp person so IDK.... It's was Before 12 on WED.

Also I think they are closed on Fri. Soooo lucky me.... Like I said before I wasnt very impressed!!!!

 

[SweetMel]

Sorry for the tummy trouble Sis. Do you think you have over done it on the acidic food trying to sway for a girl?

Elpha, . I'm sorry they were mean to you today. Would it help if I came there and kicked there @$ses for you?

AFM, I'm still waiting to o. I've had loads of cm, but my temps haven't jumped up yet. I still have this full feeling in the ovaries like they are swollen.
