October Sticky Beans!

[krissie328]

Afm, DH and I are going to be wtt until February. I just need a break and I am going to use the opportunity to lose some weight and prep for our clomid cycle. I have decided to go back on birth control for three months since it was the recommended protocol for pcos and clomid by my doctor.

GL with the weight loss krissie!

GL Krissie.

So my bleeding increased to full AF flow. I'm devestated. I was 4 days late this month. Longest LP I've ever had. I know there was a line on yesterday and this mornings test for Wondfo but not for the other tests. Is Wondfo really that much more sensitive ? Or was it false?

Is this ANOTHER chemical??

I feel like my heart is being shredded. I really let my hopes up yesterday bc I was so late I figured it had to be true.

I'm sorry. There was definitely a line there on the test you posted. And with that long LP, it really might have been a chemical. I'm so sorry

And good luck with the weight loss krissie!

afm, my temps are kind of leveling. My OPK this evening was a tad bit lighter than yesterday's so I'm getting nervous about not ovulating again. Although when I had my anovulatory cycle, my temps were up and down all the time like a roller coaster, now they're pretty much around the same level. So it may just be late ovulation. And by late I actually mean my regular ovulation of around CD20. I guess I'm just spoiled by my textbook cycle last month with a blazing OPK and ovulation at CD13. Seriously, why can't i have a cycle like that everytime?

I got a job offer from the company i'm working for right now. I'm employed with a temporary employment company and the place I work at really wants to keep me. Which is great, I love working there and if they wouldn't want to keep me, I'd have to change to a different company end of january when my time with them is up.
I'd earn the same amount of money, except since they pay 13 monthly wages (called Christmas Money in Germany, tons of companies do that, but it's not mandatory and the temporary employment company doesn't pay 13 wages) and i'd have more days available for holiday leave (30 instead of 24, which is the minimum by law).
The only downside is I would only be getting a one year contract at first. It's pretty much standart to do that and my boss has assured me that if I keep working the way I do, after that year they will turn it into an unlimited contract. Thing is, if I fall pregnant during that year, i'm sure they wouldn renew and prolong the contract. And i definitely want to stay home at least 1 1/2 years after baby is born, so that would definitely make this plan a bit harder. But I've also told OH, we definitely thought we'd be pregnant by now. We've made plans around that that we had to toss because it still hasn't happened. And it still might not happen for a while and i am not willing to let an opportunity like that go just because we plan on being pregnant. Those plans aren't a guarantee for anything and if it doesn't happen and we're still trying in a year's time I would regret it so much if i hadn't taken the opportunity.

However, nothing's set in stone yet and if I do fall pregnant before any contracts are signed then i might still decline the offer but for now it looks like i will take it.

that was longer than i intended haha didn't want to bore you ladies

I can't believe it happened to you too. I had that happen this cycle too. I'm so sorry, you see that line and I don't care what anyone says your heart goes in your mouth and you get excited and then boom. It sucks babe. I'm so sorry

 

[Angel5000]

Thanks everyone for the support. It has been an incredibly difficult day. It's really difficult to teach math when all I can think about is I thought I was possibly going to get my baby and now I'm not.

So, question. Do you ladies see your regular family physician for your TTC questions and your annual pap smear etc, or do you go to an OB/GYN? I've always used my regular physician for my annual check up and pap smear, but I'm wondering if maybe I need to see a specific gyno instead when I go in this year.

cupcake Hopefully you O soon! I wish every cycle was textbook like that! When I was on Vitex I was so perfectly regular at CD16, without it I O at CD26. It sucks. If i wasn't trying to make sure I could bring some data to my doctor in a couple months to show my very long cycles and very short LP, I'd still be on the vitex.

Good luck with that job offer!! I agree, definitely keep trying to get pregnant but take the offer because you don't know if you will be pregnant during that year or not. If you do get pregnant and it doesn't work out with the company, then you'll definitely have your opportunity to stay home with baby anyway.

Lawes So sorry that you had to go through this too this cycle. This is definitely not a great day for me. Even DH was letting himself get a little excited last night, because AF was so late, and he didn't get excited over the last one. I haven't told him yet that I've started. His phone is broken so I don't have contact with him until he gets home from work. I feel awful.

 

[Blackrain90]

Oh Angel I am so so sorry, I was really hoping this one would stick for you It is definitely hard not to get excited, but once you tell DH hopefully you can comfort each other.
I see my family physician for everything, only time I've been to OB was a follow-up since he did my emergency csection. I will be seeing him for scheduled csection this time but my pap and stuff will be through my doctors office. I don't have a preference, just easier to see a family doctor here.

Cupcake I would definitely take the job. Who knows what will happen, and they could end up really wanting you to stay and taking you back after Mat leave.

 

[Angel5000]

Thanks Black.

DH was very supportive. He's been amazing through this whole thing.

 

[todmommy4568]

Angel I am glad DH is being supportive through this

Cupcake I agree take the offer and keep trying. You never know what and when things are going to happen. And congrats!

AFM still waiting on AF to show up. I thought she was here this morning but nope and I am so baffled by my chart this month man is it weird!

 

[krissie328]

Angel so sorry hun.

I see a nurse practitioner for my wellness exam and bloods every year. But due to my PCOS I see a gyn for my pap. After our next baby I might consider just seeing my np as she does it all. But right now with infertility I have been wanting to have it tracked through them.

Cupcake- I think that sounds like a good option. Congrats on the offer.

Tod- Your chart is quite interesting. Have you tested?

 

[todmommy4568]

It's been 3 or 4 days since I tested because my chart is so bonkers I figured what's the use. If AF isn't here by tomorrow morning I will take another test

Was wondering the same thing. Definitely having my fingers crossed AF stays away. As long as she doesn't show, you're not out

Thanks ladies about your opinions regarding my job i'm will most definitely take the offer, as it also looks good on my resume to see that i did so well in a company that they wanted to keep me (they have to kind of buy me out of my temporary employment contract).
We'll cross the maternity leave bridge when we get there i guess.

Also, in germany everything pap smear, birth control, all things concerning especially the female sex, is done by a gyno. So that's where i go, i'm pretty sure i wouldn't even be able to get a pap smear at my regular doctor's office

 

[mrscletus]

Well I'm back from vacation, didn't manage to get much alone time.. I did however use the tips and was able to test at the park no problems. Definitely got a POS OPK- 2 in row actually, just didn't mark them on the chart as it messed with the CH...

SO I am 7 dpo, not symptom spotting. However I am having increased CM but not getting my hopes up as we weren't able to BD much at all. I'm really starting to feel down. Thinking maybe the Mirena is having an effect and that I wont be able to get preggers... just a depressing week for me.

Angel. Lawes, and Ivska- so sorry to hear of your CP. I really don't even want to test until after AF is due just to avoid that situation. I don't know how you ladies do it. I would be a wreck.

And for everyone, glad to see that we are still in it together, but wish someone would get a BFP soon!!

Your chart looks great! And you got in a BD the day before Ovulation...your chances are still fantastic! Fingers crossed!

 

[MsRipple]

So so so sorry angel . Sending you a hug across the Internet

Todsmommy 15 lp and a temp bump looks like not all is lost!

Getting ewcm which is great but praying I ovulate much later. Won't see my husband til thurs night at the earliest and even that requires some rearranging. But we should have all next week together...... Fingers crossed on timing. Taking evening primrose oil which I suspect delayed ovulation in two past cycles by a couple of days

This month I am using clear blue advanced ovulation detector for the first time.

 

[todmommy4568]

Well I'm crampy and there is this so either i never ovulated or AF is about to show. I hate my body this month

Forgot to add PG test was negative

 

[krissie328]

Tod- that is super strange. I would be inclined to say you are trying to ovulate. But ff is a bit conflicting.

 

[MsRipple]

Or could be you are about to ovulate? Did you not get a full on positive earlier (I seem to recall this) Can you squeeze in some just in case sex?

Yeah....I am about done with early testing. Although, to be honest, this time I tested at 12DPO but for me that was 4 days late. I'm thinking next cycle I'm waiting until at least 14DPO. Or....that's what I say I'm going to do.

Thanks. Good luck with the BD schedule! That makes it tricky when you can't always see him, hoping O holds out for you!

Whoa, that's weird! Looks like a very positive OPK, and you are trying to O, but incredibly late. Your temps are very sporadic this month. Maybe you can throw in some extra BD just in case?

This has been an incredibly odd cycle!

 

[cupcake.]

That is strange todmommy! I agree, it's probably best to get in some just in case BD if you can..

I feel you though, my cycle is definitely a bit weird as well. I had a mixture of sticky/creamy/wet CM yesterday. Like sooo much creamy but also wet (my usual post O creamy CM never has wet CM with it). And since it says to put the most fertile CM i put in wet. My line yesterday evening was also getting darker again, so i'm hoping my body is going to ovulate soon! My poor OH, he was so tired last night and it did take a while and a couple times rearranging, but we got there. Can't BD again tonight, so will tomorrow and then it's weekend again, although we're quite busy this weekend.. but i definitely hope i O until then!
