My Q n A's Thread

[carterclan02]

hmmm well girlie im sorry I just don't know..I am sure anything is possiable..fx for you!!!

 

[SKP]

Okay, thanks for your help

How do you know you ov'd on 20th Oct hun? Are you going by cm alone, or do you temp use opks? Just asking as cm is not a reliable sign of ov at all. If so it's quite possible that you didn't ov then - you might have had a delayed ov - may be till now. It's not usual to ov and then miss a period (without being pregnant) - most non-pregnancy missed periods are because ovulation didn't happen or was delayed.

Another question - what birth control were you using before TTC?

 

[SKP]

I dont know exactly when, I just enter in info on sites, when you put in You LMC, and it says the ovulation days, and stuff like that.

BC: Umm I cant remember it was over 6 years ago. All I know it was little pink pills. And the ones I was on for 3 months before August were progesteron lo? I believe.

 

[magicvw]

Ok - those sites don't tell you when you have ovulated chicken - they just give you an estimate based on your LMP. You cannot use them to accurately predict when ov will be, or to confirm that ov took place.

If you want to predict ov, use OPKs, check your cervical mucus or cp.
If you want to confirm that you ov'd, you need to chart your basal body temperature.

If you missed a period, the chances are extremely high that you didn't ovulate at all when you thought you did. There are lots of reasons why that might be - many women don't ov every month and it's perfectly normal. Others don't ov often at all and there might be an underlying health problem like PCOS, for example.

If you don't know for sure when you last ov'd, you can't count how many DPO you are. Sorry hun The menstrual cycle goes af - ov -af - ov. Sometimes an ov is missed out, but (as far as I know) it's not normal to miss out af when you have ovd - you can go af - af - ov - af, but not af- ov - ov -af.


Only asked about the birth control because some types can cause fake pregnancy symptoms - i don't think that's true in your case though

In your position I'd wait till next af and then start checking your cm and using opks - that will help you to figure out what your body is doing. I'd forget those online tickers - they are pretty useless. Tickers like the one in my siggy are based on charting basal body temp and are accurate - you could try that too, but I'd probably go with cm/opks at first! Good luck and give us a shout if you have more Qs!!!

Ok everyone... SKP is simply telling you ESTIMATED OV's based on her TYPICAL calender info. She isn't definitively stating THIS IS WHEN I OV'd. No reason to jump the gun on her over it. And I only track using my CM and other body changes and do not use OPK's and have found my method(personally) affective

She is very confused and is only seeking help to her strange situation.

SKP- Basically, you might still be pregnant but HCG levels are too low to pick up on those tests. Have you had an ultrasound?? That is your best bet to confirming whether or not all this is because of pregnancy.

Otherwise, it could just be Anovulation or hormone imbalance. Make an appt. with your gyno and make sure you tell him/her EVERYTHING that you have been telling us and demand they look into it further. If not pregnancy then what!?

Keep up updated and hope they can give you the answers you deserve

 

[SKP]

Yeah

Thanks magicvw for your help . I never tracked before, I just entered in my info and basing myself on that.

wintersong4: I have booked an appointment with a gyno, it will be my first appointment. Kind of freaked out about it.

Doctor wont do an ultra sound cuz he says I am not pregenant becuase of the blood test. And simply said I missed, and that I should have one by Dec 8th.

 

[WinterSong4]

Yeah

Doctor wont do an ultra sound cuz he says I am not pregenant becuase of the blood test. And simply said I missed, and that I should have one by Dec 8th.

Wow. That doesn't sound right to be at all. You are the one in charge of your body. Even if he was "right" it still helps with your piece of mind. If you want an ultrasound then he/she better dang give you one!!! He isn't one to run your life

Just be firm...give me an ultrasound..what can it hurt?! Nothing

Good luck and keep us posted

 

[SKP]

I never specifically asked for an ultrasound, I just think he wont becuase the blood test is negetive. I will wait until after Christmas to see how this all goes. He could be right for all I know and it was simply a missed AF. But it sure is strange to have symptoms. The only thing I have is cramps for when AF comes. Never anything else, Until this past month and a half. I didnt even have cramping at all.

Still No AF . I am 2 days from my calculations for AF and that marks the end of my cycle; I have no indication of AF coming. And I am 15 days from my doctor's expected date for AF.

 

[SKP]

Anyone find themselves tired all the time. I can get a full night sleep, then in the middle afternoon, I just wanna crash. And today I only ate once in the afternoon. I just don't feel hungry becuase I dont feel right. I havent for the past 2 months.

 

[SKP]

What is the best lube to have? That is not a spermicide.

 

[WinterSong4]

Preseed. Its the most gentle environment for the sperm. You can find it on ebay and I do believe Babyhopes.com

 

[SKP]

I found the KY, it says its not a spermicide, is it still good?

 

[WinterSong4]

KY is not good if you are trying to get pregnant. You need to either use your natural lube around Ovulation or use preseed. Preseed was specifically designed to be environmentally safe for the sperm to survive in while being able to swim.

 

[SKP]

And its only online?

 

[SKP]

Me naturally I cant as much. Only during Ovu time and I can tell. But it hurts the hubby with out lube. Like say we just happen to spontanious BD not during the ovu time. I have to use lube, doesnt hurt me, hurts the hub.

 

[SKP]

Is it possible to have undetected HCG levels, but still ended up pregnant?

 

[WinterSong4]

I have only found preseed to be online. You may be able to ask your doctor but, probably online only. And, unfortunately, even in the spur of the moment randomness of sex, stopping to pull out the lube no longer makes it spontaneous! lol But, any other time if it does hurt him then, yes use the lube.

Yes, your HCG levels can be very low for detection on a HPT. Some women don't show a positive HPT until 6 months in. Blood tests and ultrasounds are your best options for confirmation.

 

[SKP]

Yeah, my blood test was negetive. Getting tested again next week. The doc is laughing at it tho, so hes pretty much humouring me.

 

[magicvw]

Really?! I hope you get that BFP and can laugh right back in his face! Some doctors are so rude!! As you don't know for sure when you actually ovulated, the first blood test might have been too early anyway. There must be some reason for the lack of AF and pregnancy is by far the best one! When is your test?
