Arm well I might go MIA for a bit myself girls. Just going to try to relax for a little bit, feeling my anxiety levels rising which is not good. Will update you ladies on my first midwife visit which I don think will be until week 8 I'm only 5 week so far. Sending you all lots of pos vibes love n have a great weekend xx

 

[Snizuitz]

Can't wait to hear the updates, Laura! Best of luck and happy 9 mos!

This weekend, my hormones went NUTS! I was happy, then tired, then moody, then happy again. So messed up. I'm not usually like this during ovulation. I wonder if the dye test might have made things go haywire in there?

Anyway, got a positive OPK on Saturday, but my temps are still all over the place. At least we've be BD'ing every other day, so we'll hopefully catch any eggos that might make their way to the correct tube.

How were your weekends?

hi all - my russian MIL is in town (may have already mentioned). she's driving us nutso, ha! but she leaves thursday, and we'll be sad when that happens. sniz, i hate when hormones do that! ugh, and you cant even reign it in, ya know?
afm, i am spotting today and temp crashed. i am feeling... many feelings about it, both pro and con. the real deal will prob start tomorrow. so, onto cycle 8! bummer, though, that i have 1 cycle for 2 of the normal length ones. next step, SA, then clomid. trying to stay positive! (for all the details on my feelings, pop inot my journal!)
thinking of all of you!

 

[Snizuitz]

Mirolee-- I did clomid last year for a few months. It did get me to produce more eggs, so in that way it worked. It was pretty hard on me emotionally, but it was good to see those eggs developing! Good luck!

 

[Brayr08]

Barb-Did you finally see a temp shift?

Mirolee-Clomid made me crazy also. The last time I took it monitored, I got two really big follicles. I don't remember if you said or not, but are they going to want you to do an IUI or anything on it or are they just going to have you do timed intercourse at first? They'll probably decide after OH's SA.

AFM-I had an internal ultrasound today (CD 8). I have two follicles on my left ovary that are sizes 14 & 15 and one on my right that is an 11. My tentative plan is to do one more night of injections and then do the IUI on Friday, but they're going to call me back later today after they get the results of my blood draw and talk to the doctor. I am SO hopeful and optimistic this cycle. I hope that doesn't come back to bite me in the butt.

 

[Snizuitz]

Yes! I finally saw a temp shift. That means I probably ovulated yesterday. I'm honestly glad that trying is almost done for this month (one more time tonight!). We've been working really hard for it this month.

In reality, our chances aren't great this month, so I'm trying to be rational. Next month will probably be a better shot with the Femara and all.

 

[HWPG]

rach, i'm so stoked for you!
sniz, glad you had the temp shift, woohoo!
afm, cd1 tomorrow i think - today is still pretty light, but temp has crashed. on to the next cycle, and perhaps a Christmas baby! i'm hoping OH will get his SA done in march, then we can decide about clomid. i went on it once and it also made me crazy. oh well, i'll do whatever! i think my dr will just have us do timed sex first, not iui, but it does depend on the results. as always, will keep everyone posted!

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

mirolee-sorry to hear your most likely to start a new cycle, but hopefully clomid will help!

rach-that's great! Out of those 3, I hope one gets fertilized. Big prayers for you on friday.

barb-i'm happy to see you got your shift. Ya never know, when your less likely to think you are, you may very well be. FX!!!

afm-i am cd7 today. I have started my fertilecm supplements saturday and i'm sick....but oh well, gotta dtd anyways soon. Not losing any fertile days, i don't care what it takes! Starting smep tomorrow.

 

[HWPG]

SMEP partayyyyyy......

 

[laustiredttc]

hi girls just thought i would update things.

i miscarried yesterday on my birthday. confirmed today at the early pregnancy unit. cant describe the desolation i feel. Just went and bought a bottle of red and now going to drown my sorrows. This is the ultimate low for me. There needs to be a new word for depression. Sorry to be like this girls, just beyond devastated.

Hope you are all well

 

[Snizuitz]

Laura, I am so completely sorry. I know there is really nothing I can say that will really help right now, but I am sorry. There are lots of people who love you and who are rooting for you. I don't know if you believe in God or anything, but I will be praying for you.

 

[Brayr08]

Oh my gosh Laura! I am so so sorry. I can't even fathom the grief you are experiancing. It's not fair. If you need to vent and yell and scream (via the internet) we will be here for you.

My bad/weird day doesn't seem so bad now. I'm CD10 and I went to the bathroom this morning and when I wiped, my tp was covered in blood, there was a ton of blood in the toilet, it driped on the outside of the toilet and on the floor (sorry, extreme TMI). I called my FS and they seemed pretty baffled by it since I don't have any cysts this cycle. The bleeding has basically stopped now and I'm waiting on the a phone call from my FS to see what they think is going on. I'm really hoping they don't cancel my cycle due to this. Everything else has been perfect up until now.

Again Laura, my heart is breaking for you. We'll be here for you girl.

 

[HWPG]

Omg Laura. I am SO sorry. There is nothing more to say. You will be in my thoughts all day. Massive hugs.
Rach, keep us posted. That seems extreme.
Cd2 for me today.

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

Laura, I am sooooo sorry! I feel your pain! I know what it feels likeand it is just awful. to you! I/we are here for you. You don't deserve this! My heart broke when I read your post. Love ya!

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

Rach-omg i'm sorry to hear about your bleeding. I hope it doesn't mess anything up for your iui this cycle. Glad it stopped! Hope you get an answer as to what it may be or was and isn't bad.

 

[laustiredttc]

thank you ladies. Was up at 1am for four hours in the worst agony ever!! hopefully worst is over? Just cant stop crying but i know that i have to keep moving forwards. I have to keep trying i just have too!

rach, i hope the bleeding has stopped and your cycle hasnt been cancelled. keeping fx crossed for you huni, GL x x x

mirolee i hope this is a good cycle for you hun. Are you using opk's still?

Heather, thank you sweetie it means alot to me. you girls are really the only ones i have spoken to apart from my husband. Your support means so much and i cant thank you enough

sni, cheers hun, i do believe in god although i dont pray nearly enough to him. Just going to take it one day at a time. How are things with you hun?

Afm, well i'm going to give it one cycle to relax to let my body heal and then start ttc again. Hopefully second time around works fx

sending all you girls

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

Laura-all i wanted to was cry with my first m/c...and i didn't m/c until 10/11 weeks. There was a sac but no baby. All we can do is move forward. God can't give us more than we can't handle. Ill tell you what, with all the m/c i had, i learned i am strong and especially after that last m/c i had up to 18weeks. That really weakened me, but i got tough and getting back up on that horse, trying again. I didn't have a computer at the time I m/c, I had no one to talk to. I'm glad to be here for you. Maybe it will help ease your pain. It will get easier, but never forgotten. Prayers to help you get through it and keep you strong.

AFM-cd10...still sick, but think it's about gone. Really hoping it doesn't delay my O too much or at all. Last cycle, I got a pos opk on cd12. Going to start opking tomorrow or sunday. Started SMEP 2 days agao, going to bd again tonight and then sunday am and go from there with opk. Hope you all are doing well.

 

[Brayr08]

Hey girls!!! IUI day today. DH are just sitting in the car waiting to do the actual procedure. Yipee... I'm feeling pretty optimistic again. Because of my bleeding on Thursday, they did an internal ultrasound this morning (which they never do otherwise) & my lining looks great & I have 2 really good looking follicles & possibly a third, that all look like they should release in the next 4-6 hours...which is perfect. Just praying we catch an egg this cycle. I am so ready to be done w/all this!!!

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

YAY!!! Oh, Rach that sounds so promising!!! I hope this is it and works! FX!!!!

AFM-so i started smep cd8 and today i am cd11...now i've been charting for months and never noticed a spike in temps this early. (like enough to confirm O) Last cycle was the earliest i noticed O at cd14 in the months i've been charting. I temped yesterday 97.22 and this am (only 15 mins later than yesterday) 97.71. Maybe I will O again? I guess all I can do is keep temping for a few days and I'm going to start opk today (digital). I wish I would've tested with an opk earlier but like i said I've never O this early before....or maybe I didn't? I dont know. :/ I've been sick for a week and taking fertilecm, that is the only thing didfferent this month than last. I've heard causes for delaying O but not making it come earlier?
