Hi Ladies!

Sis, hope you're feeling better.

Milty, looks like the witch got you. Boooooo!!!!! Hope you're pampering yourself lots.

BF, is it my imagination or have you been two days from injection for two days?

Elphaba, how's your waiting to O going? And more news in your doctor's saga?

Sweet, looks like your chart is playing tricks on you. How are you feeling?

How is everyone else?

Had my consult yesterday, and will be doing the lap mid-June. I'm trying to see this as a positive, diagnostic thing, and one which might address the problem, if there is one. In other news, he's testing me for PCOS hormones, based on my high AMH. So, for you PCOS ladies--are there guidelines or websites you'd recommend for me to look at while I wait and after the results are in? He did the DHEA, testosterone, SHBG, some pre-diabetes indicator, and possibly some other stuff. I forgot to write it all down and I don't have a copy.

Hope everyone is doing well!

Had stabbing pains on my Left side yesterday and dull back pain this AM.... But I'm not Symptom checking

Hi Ladies,

It's been ages since I posted in here ............... I've been keeping up with all the news though.

Pbl_ge - will be interested to hear how you get on with the lap, I am currently waiting for a date for the same thing. In all honesty I'm scared witless - it's the thought of a general anesthetic - but well it's something I need to do if I want to move forward on this ride

So for the past few months I had been feeling a bit disheartened however once again I've given myself a good talking to and have put things in place for June. So I'm now taking my wheatgrass every morning - it took a bit of getting in the habit - I actually enjoy it now. I've asked for the referral to the Fertility Clinic so that went off yesterday, I'm waiting on a date for the laparoscopy - that's actually for something which may or may not necessarily connected (since Christmas I've been getting period-like cramps throughout my 2nd half of my cycle) but they are going to dye test my tubes as well. I've signed up to two yoga classes a week and I'm going for acupuncture.

On top of the above I've also cut refined sugar out of my diet and am eating more healthily. I want to lose 7lbs and tone up.

Looking forward to a long weekend - and right now the sun is shining!!

Love and positive fertile energy to you all!!

Hi Shinyshoes - i was having the exact same thing in my 2WW particularly during the first week for months....real period pains.....in fact i thought it would be down to cysts or blockages of some sort. however, i have had a scan on which they could see no cysts, endo etc and an HSG/dye test which showed clear tubes...puzzling. I have to say this 2WW i have found to be almost period pain free [so far] ...perhaps the acu is doing something at last

 

[shinyshoes]

Hi Blythe

Gosh it's really interesting to hear you've had the same thing - first time it happened I was convinced that there was something really wrong - I've had blood tests, several internals (ugh!) and a scan with nothing showing up and tbh I think its maybe just the way it is but will have the Lap and the dye test so at least I'll know if my tubes are working! I used to get spotting about a week before my period was due, that had stopped for a few months but started again today and I'm due next Friday, so not sure what that's about but when it happens I know it's a BFN this month but I'm feeling ok about that as I have the above plans - I need to feel like I'm taking charge!

Am also starting Acupuncture very soon too and I'm feeling very positive about that!! Oh and I'm going to give temping a go - especially after the question around whether I ovulated this month. With that and getting fit there are plenty of things to try!

And there's me trying not to let this take over my life.....

 

[Blythe]

Me too, me too!!! I'm a spotter....what a drag....although some months I don't get it at all. I've been using a progesterone cream so will see if that makes a difference this month. Some spotters do get their bfp on spotting months so you never know.

 

[shinyshoes]

Lol, Achers & spotters eh - great things to have in common -

I didn't know that some spotters also got BFP's that month - I've always assumed that's it and to give up hope. Be interested to know if the progesterone cream makes a difference.

You've made me feel so much better about several things Blythe - really, really appreciate your help

 

[pbl_ge]

It's good to hear from other suspected endo folks! Shiny, I am definitely terrified, too, although people keep telling me it's no big deal. Someone said, "They wheeled me in, I felt the prick in my arm, and then I woke up as someone handed me animal crackers." Apparently this used to be routine, and can really help a lot of people conceive. So I'm trying to be positive about it.

From what I've read luteal phase cramping can definitely be related to endo, but I'm really just learning about this stuff. Blythe, my tubes and ovaries are clear, too, but they still seemed pretty certain about the endo. I'll update after the lap.

I definitely had spotting my bfp month. Of course, it was also in the wrong place, but I honestly don't think that had anything to do with it. You can still get a bfp with a little spotting. It just depends on the cause. It's unclear to me if spotting is related to endo or not. I think no?

Hope we all get bfps soon!

 

[Butterfly67]

Shiny and Blythe I am the same - having spotting from about 7dpo and having like stomach ache in the second half of my cycle (although that has been better recently) so I'm with you on that - and it is annoying Progesterone didn't seem to help my spotting and I have not been diagnosed with low progesterone

 

[Sis4Us]

Butterfly.... Did u get Ur shot today!!!!?????

Hope everything is going smoothly for ya!!

 

[SweetMel]

Hi everyone. I'm just checking in. My cycle is boring me to death. I'm ready to move on.

 

[Milty]

I'm bored with my cycle too. I have ordered black cohosh and I'm hoping to get it soon. It may be to late for this cycle but for sure will be for next!

Also I quit the Pregnitude which was not good for my LP. I do want to put in the little cavat that I wasn't using it for its primary purpose of PCOS. I was using it for better implantation.

Hi butterfly..... Isn't it frustrating. I've only had 2/3 day 21 tests and they have never shown an issue with prog levels. I've had mixed results with prog cream. I don't recall ever getting issues with spotting when I was younger. I've wondered whether it had anything to do with the supplements I've been taking for the 2-3 years to TTC. I'm hoping this cycle was be spotting free....I used black cohosh this cycle (CDs 1-10) and I've had nice steady post ovulation temps.
