...No, relaxing will not get me pregnant...lucky CBFM girls!

[BerryBoo]

I think I am having a chemical pregnancy. I had a nice line on FRER this morning and a positive CB digital. This afternoon I started cramping and had some pink tinged mucus on the TP and just took another FRER, it was negative and the CB Digital said not pregnant.

I'm crampy right now but no bleeding yet. I wish it would just happen though so I can move on. It's so weird how it happened so quickly, I am only 11 dpo today (counting O as 2nd peak day on CBFM).

I am wondering if I can set the CBFM as day one when I start bleeding?

I hope to see some more STICKY BFP soon!

Well, prolactin is normal, and progesterone is "borderline" at 8.29...it should be 10 or higher on day 21...IF I had a textbook CD 14 ovulation/28 day cycle, which of course I don't! I have a 30 day cycle, and an average O day of 16 or so. I'm getting the progesterone redone on Thursday, which will be CD 24, and FAR more accurate in terms of when I ovulate, and when my peak progesterone levels are...

Haven't heard yet on the semen analysis, and I probably won't for a few days.

 

[wookie130]

Oh, Berryboo, it sure does sound like a chemical...

I'm so very sorry, hon. A loss is a loss is a loss, you know?

You can reset your monitor to CD 1 as soon as you experience a full flow. I wouldn't set it to day 1 with spotting...it should look like a real AF first.

Again, I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry Berryboo That totally sucks! I wish you tons of sticky baby dust for your next cycle. I hope that it's not a chemical and you get a positive tomorrow. Maybe the pink will go away.

Wookie, if you weren't 7dpo when you got your progesterone taken then it wouldn't be accurate because your progesterone peaks at 7dpo. That is on the low side for 7dpo, but I have seen people with lower numbers than that get pregnant, however they do have to go on progesterone if they get pregnant with numbers below 10. Maybe they'll give you Clomid and you'll get multiples like you wanted . They might if your next test is low, or they will at least do further testing. Low progesterone can be easily fixed depending on what's causing it. I didn't get my levels done this month because the doctor said it would be pointless, but I'm sure my progesterone is higher because my luteal phase is longer. He told me that since my progesterone was low to begin with the progesterone would fix it and so I wouldn't need to be tested.

Thanks Wookie. I'm glad you're getting bloods done so you know what's going on with your body. I hate how it's assumed that we all have the perfect O on day 14, start AF on day 28 cycles.
I've never had a chemical before so I am mostly in a state of shock. DH is taking it worse than I am as he's never heard of this happening so early on. I am trying not to get too down about it. I figure my uterus is probably quite dusty as it's been sitting dormant with no cycles for 8 months after a pregnancy (breastfeeding kept AF away).
On to the next cycle!

 

[BerryBoo]

SLH, thanks for your kind words. I am hoping to see a BFP for you soon!

 

[Mrs.B.]

Oh no, Sorry Berry Boo, for you x

 

[wookie130]

Berry- Are you going to bother retesting this a.m., or are you just going to wait it out a bit? Again, I'm so very sorry. I know you have a few angel babies already...I have 1, and that little bean will forever live in my heart, so I know how sad you mus feel right now. It's so hard, isn't it? Hang in there. I'm here to talk, if you need to.

SLH- The progesterone test was definitely taken too early. I never ovulate on day 14, so the redraw they're having me do tomorrow will give me more accurate results. I don't know why they insisted the first test be done on cd 21, as I sat there and TOLD my OB/gyn I don't typically ovulate until day 16 or so...

Personally, I'm more interested in doing a FSH test on cd 3...low ovarian reserve is something I'm afraid of...that scares me a lot.

 

[SLH]

I have noticed a lot of women get their progesterone tested on 2 days of their cycle as well. I'm not sure why some doctors do that. At our fertility clinic they don't do progesterone tests to check for ovulation because they do ultrasounds instead. The only reason my dr did the test was because of my short luteal phase.

Low ovarian reserve scares the crap out of me too. I googled my fsh numbers and am now scared shitless. The doctor told me during my first month of monitoring that I had 9 follicles on day 3, so I researched online and found out that I only have 4 years of fertility left and I'll go into menopause at the age of 38. I'm totally freaking out. I have a lot of questions for my FS when I see him lol. You would think if there was something wrong with me they would tell me right? I cried all day the other day because I kept thinking that I'm infertile.

At the end of February DH and I are going to Orlando. I have always wanted to go to Disney World, but my parents couldn't afford it when I was a kid. Anyway, at the Ripleys Believe It or Not museum there are fertility statues that apparently mysteriously get people pregnant. We are so going there when we go to Orlando!! I'm going to touch it for all of us. I know I don't believe in psychics or moonstones, but I am willing to try fertility statues LOL.

Where is everyone?

 

[SLH]

Crap, I just read that the statues were only there until labour day

 

[LekkerSlaap]

Slh- don't worry about those statues. I caught them in gatlinburg tn at our ripleys and pretty much molested both of them. Rubbed my hands and belly and everything. Yep they didn't work for me. so don't fret about missing them.

As for me there has been barely any bding going on with us since we are sleeping in my nieces bed and I will not do that. And I'm assuming I ovulated on Christmas. So I'm not really worried about it this month. I'm just enjoying spending time with my nieces and nephew. Even if right now he is being a stinker. And I'm still sick. My allergies are horrible right now.

 

[BerryBoo]

I tested again this morning. Still neg on cb digital but wondfo tests had obvious line. No bleeding or cramping. I think those wondfo tests are super sensitive.

 

[TryinFor1]

Slh. I went to orlando last August. It was awful. NEVER AGAIN, just dont go during peak season. Thex statues weren't there when i went either.

Sorry to hear of the chemical berry. If you aren't bleeding ill keep my fingers crossed and you in my prayers.

 

[Buckles]

Berry boo, I'm so sorry! Sending you lots of hugs!

I'm here... Just been into work for a few hours, well after 2 weeks of me symptom spotting, yet again I was proved wrong. AF showed today and I'm in agony, such bad cramps, going to run myself a bath after hubby goes out, bring the duvet downstairs and stuff myself full of chocolates xxx

 

[wookie130]

Buckles, so sorry AF came. I wish when AF showed up, I could be excited at the prospect of a bright and shiny new cycle, but it's always the opposite. Depression, disappointment, all of that.

Berry...could it be possible you had a crap digi? I'd call the doctors, and maybe have a beta done...that way they can see if it's rising or falling. You just never know. I'm not one to try to give people false hope, but, for your sake and piece of mind, I'd call a doctor. Good luck, and I'm so sorry you're in limbo right now with it. No cramping or bleeding is a good sign, hon!

 

[SLH]

I'm so sorry Berryboo. Hopefully, next month will be a better one!

Buckles, that sucks that AF came. I understand agony from period cramps. I get them extremely bad too. I'm not looking forward to AF, but she will be here any day now. I took my last progesterone suppository yesterday, so I'm expecting AF to arrive tomorrow or the next day It looks like I will be in pain for new years, but at least I wasn't for Christmas. I don't have to leave my house on New Years, but on Christmas we had to go everywhere.

 

[SLH]

I thought about giving up on TTC, but my husband won't let me. He said he wants a baby and I have to do everything the fertility specialist tells me to do. This is getting too emotional for me. I'm PMS'ing so my hormones are making me crazy right now. Sorry everyone. lol.

 

[Buckles]

Slh, don't give up hunny, you've come so far already, dont give up!!

I do know how you feel though but all that keeps me going is the thought of holding our own little baby.

I've taken some tablets and am all snuggled up on the sofa with the dog xxx

 

[SLH]

Thanks Buckles. I will never give up, but sometimes I feel like it will never happen so what's the point of trying so hard. I know deep down that one day it will happen, but I'm getting a little impatient.

I went from having a short luteal phase to a very long luteal phase LOL. Next month I will adjust the progesterone so I only have a 14 day luteal phase. If it takes 2 days to get a period after stopping them then I will stop them on 12dpo next month.
