Forums New posts
Tested with an unsurprising bfn this am. Not sure why I bother. :nope:
 
Elpha are they going to up your dose of clomid then? There is a lady on another thread who was in a similar situation and as soon as they upped her dose to 150mg she got pregnant :thumbup:
 
Pbl..... I fell ya my temps are dropping .... I fear AF is Approaching.... Had a terrible back ache yesterday and wanted to rip my hubbies throat out!!!! :haha:
:( I fear it will never happen ... Oh well I didn't have much hope for this month but it's still a let down none the less!!!

Its still early so dont give up hope at least UR temps are still Up!!!!!'

FX!!!!!!
 
PBL - I feel ya, I typically just do not even bother with the pregnancy tests because I hate the dang disappointment. Alas... I took one yesterday and it also was a BFN. Only took it because I keep worrying about the stupid progesterone problem. However, when I see the glaring negative it just turns into me being even more freaking depressed. So :hugs: to you!

Butterfly - They are upping me to 100mg next month and I imagine I will repeat the blood work 7 days after my positive OPK. The nurse did tell me that she has always had long cycles and the only time they were a normal 28 day cycle was the 2 cycles she took Clomid and they did the same protocol for her that they are doing for me. So I asked her if it worked, and she said yup! Of course, then after she had her baby her cycles went back to being long. So even if most of the time she is a fountain of misleading information, she at least redeemed a few points with me by sharing her optimistic personal story.

Sis - Sorry to hear you think AF is about to make an appearance. She is so unwelcome, yet she keeps showing up anyhow! :hugs: My temps are still hanging in there at 10 days past ovulation, which is unusual. Usually they are starting to decline by now. I don't believe I am pregnant though, I am just thinking maybe Clomid helped an itsy bitsy bit and maybe I can get 1 more day out of my luteal phase. That would at least be progress in the right direction! :thumbup: Keep your chin up even if the witch does show, and try not to kill the hubby! :haha:
 
Went to the Natural hormone Dr today.... Fasted for 14 hrs cuz they took forever to get my blood but I got A lot of info and will be starting Armour Thyroid Tom and Prog. CD 15 !! :thumbup:

Looking forward to feeling better and hopefully getting Balanced so I can get my :BFP:

GL Everyone I hope U All have a super week!!!!!
 
Hey Sis, glad to hear you got some answers! :thumbup:

Why are they starting you on progesterone on day 15? Are they guessing that you ovulate on day 14? (I haven't seen your chart, so just asking) If you start the progesterone before you ovulate, I think it makes your body 'think' you already ovulated and so you won't ovulate. I just thought it would be worth mentioning because day 15 seemed pretty early to start progesterone unless you know you ovulate before then. Some doctors just guess that is when you ovulate. Just like the nurse trying to tell me to come in on day 21 for my 7 dpo blood work. If I hadn't spoke up and said, hey, I don't ovulate that early why are we doing this? I would have had wasted blood work, because I could have told her I did not ovulate.

Of course your cycle may be normal and you've already went over all that with the docs. I just hadn't seen your temp chart, so I was not sure what day you ovulate. Figured it was at least worth mentioning.
 
My little update... as you can see in my chart thumbnail below, my temps took a serious nose dive this morning. So if AF doesn't show later today, she will be here tomorrow. No extension of my luteal phase like I had hoped. Looks like I will be starting Clomid 100mg more than likely on Saturday.

On a positive note though, at least AF will be gone by the time we celebrate our 1st anniversary and take our trip to Chicago! :happydance: That dang witch seems to ruin all vacations including my honeymoon, so glad she won't be ruining my anniversary trip! (Now if she could just stay awake for my week long trip to Myrtle Beach in June... pregnancy please?)

Probably won't be in my fertile window when we are in Chicago, but if Clomid 100mg works I should be in it starting Monday or Tuesday of the following week! *fingers crossed*

I actually O early usually CD 10 but last month it was CD 12(according to me)
CD 13 (according to FF) :shrug:
I'm going to get a call in a week to go over my bloodwork and I'll ask if I should wait till day after O or CD 15!!??!!
 
Sis - You are a lucky one with an early O! :happydance: I am super jealous! You could almost have 2 cycles in the amount of time it takes me to get one! :dohh:
 
:rofl: :rofl:
U know U R LTTTC when u actually want to get 2 :witch: :witch: in one month!!!

Well looks like we are ALL out this month and onto Another cycle... Except Sweet Mel I think she didn't O until last week so FX for her!!!

I see Suzy Q got a :BFP: what ever happened to Jax???

AFM still freaked that AF showed on CD24 after my O got pushed back 2-3 days .... Everyone keeps saying My bloodwork is normal but I just can't understand how a 24-25 day cycle is AOK!! :shrug:
I have had way more cramping today but Ive also had more flow so hopefully it's a good thing at least I'm getting some part of normal .... Not a Fun part but Some part!! :haha:

GL to everyone on your New Cycles!!!
 
I just ovulated three days ago so I'm in the tww. Sorry AF showed girls. :growlmad: if we could all hang out with each other our cycles would probably sync up. :haha:

What kind of progesterone are you girls taking?

yes we need Suzy to come back on so we can declare 2 BFPs on this thread :happydance:

Jax went on holiday for a week and hasn't come back on since so I can only assume the :witch: turned up :nope:

I also had a 24 day cycle this month :saywhat: - not overly happy about that, not that it really matters with the IVF etc coming up, but still not good I'm thinking :shrug:
 
That's what I keep thinking that something has to be going on and I just keep getting my Numbers are good!!!! :shrug:

I guess drs just consider U a Number so why am I surprised!!!
 
Sis & Butterfly - Did your doctors do a 7 days past ovulation blood test to check your progesterone levels? How long are your luteal phases? (post-ovulation to AF) I was told progesterone needs to be at least 10 by 7 days past ovulation to not indicate a progesterone problem.
Sis I think you said you O on day 10? If that really is the case, then it looks like you probably have normal progesterone levels. Some women just have early ovulation. :shrug: I have read in a lot of places that a normal cycle is anywhere between 21 and 35 days. So I am just thinking you ladies are the lucky ones! :haha: Well, at least when TTC. If you weren't TTC I would imagine AF showing up that often would be frustrating!
 
Well it bothers me that it has changed slowly gotten shorter and shorter !!!

My last blood test was 7dpo and they just told me it was Normal no Explanation... That makes me mad I really think I need to find a different FS!!
But since I started yesterday I need to go CD3 AGAIN Tom so guess ill look to change after those days .... I just don't want to start Clomid if it's not needed!!

Elphabaa according to FF I ovulated CD13 so that would put my luteal phase only 12 days which is a Lil short!!!
I always got a +OPK on CD10 but my temp would never drop for 3 days which makes me wonder if I surged way early than O since my hormone levels are a Lil low maybe the OPK was reading it wrong??!!??!
After taking Vitex last month the + OPK was morning of O in my opinion if not the next day according to FF!!?!!!

I've been told that when U O early the eggs might not be mature enough and when Ur luteal Phase is short that interferes W implantation!!??!!?
Either way a short cycle seems to be an issue but nobody wants to tell me so:shrug:

DH goes to the Uroligist today so we will see maybe its ALL his fault :haha: JK!!
 
Hi all, thanks for asking about me! So far it seems all the coQ10 and Dhea I took (not to mention injectibles, IUI and donor sperm) are sticking. I'm just on pins and needles hoping this is a sticky bean but for now, declare me the 2nd BFP and keep at it ladies! We can do this!!!
 
Congratulations Suzy. That's so great. I'm really excited for you. I wish you a happy and healthy nine months. I love the new ticker.
 
My Lil guys was born on Dec 5!!!! They are a ball to have around full of ideas and nonstop action I tell U!!!

Hope that Bean is a sticky one for Ya!!!!! FX

AFM DH is at the Uroligst as we speak we had a Freak cool front it just dropped 30' in 30mins!!!
I go for Another blood draw Tom or Fri!! CD3 AGAIN W Ultrasound!!

Waiting on the Fridge repair guy!!! :gun: :haha:
