[lizlovelust]

I can see a line liz, go and get a blood test x

Im scared to! Im scared of another BFN!

 

[WantingABubba]

Okay, spoke to the doctor, a different one from my surgery (she was really nice!) and she reassured me about my results. She said it was normal for the cycle day I'm on, and that the only reason why it said abnormal on ny results was because because the lab has a set range, and they don't take into account your cycle day. FSH testing is usually done pre-ovulation and my levels are normal for post-ovulation.

We had a chat about TTC. To be honest, she didn't seem to know what she was talking about sometimes. She told me the number one reason why women don't get pregnant is stress . Well, that's bullshit, because some women get pregnant from rape, which is extremely stressful. Then she told me to give up charting and having sex around ovulation and told me having timed sex won't work! She said there's higher chance of my getting preg if I just have sex three times a week, and that there's no point knowing when I ovulate cos I'll just stress myself out and not get pregnant. As far as I know, stress doesn't make you infertile, so stop telling me stress is stopping me getting pregnant!

Gosh, I had to educate her a little. I'm TTC, not NTNP, so don't tell me to give up charting and timed sex! There's more but I can't remember. It's crazy how us ladies know more than the professionals!

But she's nice, and knowledgable on everything else so I will see her from now on

I was still worried, so she's sending me for a blood test on CD21 next cycle to check my testosterone, prolactin and progesterone levels. Can't wait!

To the lady with the positive OPK, that suggests early ovulation, a problem or pregnancy IMO. But the FRER looks negative to me. That white line is the antibody strip. It got me twice on 8DPO. They're bloody evil. Test with a diff test or wait a few days. GL xx

It can't be early O, I've never ever ever had early O, I'm only CD5! That's crazy!

I did another OPK and it's still dark, not as dark as that one, but deff dark.

I have long cycles, usually 32 to 38 days! The earliest I've ever Oed was CD17!

Liz - you need a blood test. I am on my phone right now but there's something there. Call ASAP because your temps are low and if you bled and are preg I would see a doc right away.
I would also have them check out to see if you have PCOS...you seem to get way too many +OPKs.

 

[Milty]

Liz - I see a line but I can't tell if it's an evap or not. It looks like a good line on the top but to me the color fades as you go down.

I agree call your Doc and if the blood test is negitive find out why you might be surging on CD5

Not that I know that much about fertility and stress, but I do know that stress has big impact on people's bodies and can affect health. I know some people still fall pg even after experiencing something traumatic, but everyone is different and overall I think stressing every month would do you more harm than good.

Also, once you do fall pregnant stress can definately affect a babies development- there's lot of articles and stories on this if you google it.

Anyway, it's great that you've found a doctor that you like - hopefully you'll be seeing them to confirm a BFP soon

Oh, I know this hun, it just annoys the heck out of me when people say you're not falling pregnant 'cos you're stressed, especially coming from a doctor. It's a lazy excuse. How can she tell me the number one reason women don't get pregnant is due to stress?! Sure, it might be a factor but it's certainly not number one reason. She shouldn't assume I'm stressed, she should ask me questions and listen, THEN advise. It's like a kick in the teeth. I am not that stressed every month about TTC. This cycle was the most stressed I was about it since cycle 1, and that's only 'cos I got the false positive. Then to tell me charting won't work and not to bother is irresponsible. It DOES work - if I don't have sex in my fertile period, I won't get pregnant! And I like to know my fertile period, hubby and I can't have sex three times a week. She then told me sperm lives for five days. For pete's sake, I had to tell her that's only true in good quality cervical mucus, which not everyone has! Sperm CAN live for five days, but usually only live for one or two. In a hostile environment, they'll die very quickly.

Stress isn't good for a baby, though, that makes complete sense and I support that.

Sorry, I seem to be ranting at you like a madwoman! I'm just annoyed with her giving me inaccurate info. I know my stuff, thankfully, but if I didn't, I would be misinformed. She's a lovely lady, but clearly no fertility specialist. She didn't even seem to know about EWCM. I had to stop myself educating her about TTC because I felt bad telling a doctor stuff they should know
