Those lines are gorgeous Lawes!

 

[todmommy4568]

That's great lawes! Looks like some really nice lines!!

Angel happy to see you finally got some crosshairs!!!

 

[Angel5000]

My temp shot up today! Yay! I'm def in postO stage (I never get temps in the 98s except after O, I tend to run very cold) so I am pretty sure I did O. this makes me happy

I did get ch yesterday but had to use temp adjuster. My dog woke me up at 4:15 wheezing and so I temped then (45mins early) and that temp didn't give me ch but I used the adjuster and then averaged the temps and that temp did give me ch so I left it. but today's shot up so I think I'm def post O

 

[mrscletus]

YAY for CH and YAY for those beautiful lines laws!!!

Im so anxious/nervous for next week. I want to test so badly!! I have had pretty charts in the past only to end up with a bfn... so im not going to get my hopes up too much.

 

[Angel5000]

Fx for you !!

I played with temps today and if I put yesterday's temp in regular without the adjustment i still have my ch, it just lowers my CL so this makes me happy

Now for the wait. FF suggests AF is due March6 (13 day LP) but my LP is usually more consistent with 11 days so I think I'll test next week fri/sat. I have my RE appointment on March 6. So no matter what that will be an eventful weekend

Fx for you Angel and mrscletus.

Not much going on here. I'm cd 13 and not trying right now. Not that we'd be getting any bding in as ds is sick with a fever and throwing up and dh has bronchitis. So I'm just trying to survive the next week and not get sick.

Looking like May at the earliest. And dh has even suggested late summer or fall. I'm not sure I want to wait that long. At least May I'd not far.

 

[Angel5000]

So on top of everything I can feel a cold coming on. Wtf body. Wtf.

 

[mrscletus]

Oh no Angel!!! I had that horrible cycle back in Dec mixed with a cold.. Ugh. No fun!!

 

[mrscletus]

I caved... Stark white test this am. I know I was crazy for testing that early.. But figured what the heck.

 

[Angel5000]

Today's temp was a big drop, and now FF has taken away my CH. Ugh. :/


MrsCletus - you still have lots of time! But i know the feeling, I want to test all the time. LoL

 

[mrscletus]

How's it going??? I'm feeling out.. Very crampy today and my temps are very inconsistent! Ugh!! It just takes one time... I'm really starting to feel pretty down about this whole journey!

 

[Angel5000]

I'm right there with you, feeling down and out.

FF says I'm 8DPO but I started getting some pink when I checked my cervix yesterday so I think I might have O'd a day or two earlier than FF thinks. But my temps are so crazy this cycle that I have no idea. I'm pretty sure I'm out this month. Just wish it would not be so damn hard.

I keep telling myself that at least i have my first RE appointment on Sunday. Maybe that will help.

Hi ladies, wishing you luck. I finally made an appointment with my obgyn for a checkup and to discuss ttc. I have been putting it off because I have gained a ton of weight since this summer (and was 20 lbs overweight to begin with) and I feel super anxious about having to discuss it with her. I'm still anxious, but I feel like this is necessary after 6 months of ttc as dh and I are a bit older (35 plus) and I want to get the ball rolling. I don't know what to expect but hoping she can do or order necessary testing for me and refer dh to someone to do whatever testing he needs to do.

Do you guys know if obgyn do things like the hsg testing or do I need to go to a fertility specialist for that? and for my husband - can he just get a referral to a urologist?

@ Angel- your temps are a bit confusing this cycle, but I would agree with you about an earlier o date. 3 days after a positive opk seems a bit long.

 

[krissie328]

MsRipple- My Dh had his SA at the fertility clinic. It was a $75 dollar charge and was enough for my ob to rule in as a factor for our fertility. (He has low motility). He did have to be referred by my ob though.

Afm, I never got into that much testing. I had blood work to check hormones and an u/s that showed I had pcos. One round of clomid and I was pregnant. So it was evident my major issue was not ovulating.

In other news we are just ntnp at the moment. I really don't expect anything since we have never fallen pregnant without clomid. But I am focusing on a low carb diet which has made me ovulate on my own in the past. So I guess it is possible. But I am really just holding out for May when we do our second round of clomid.

 

[mrscletus]

Glad to see you ladies again.. Rose I hope the ob can help you out. When I went to mine he said he won't do any testing until the 1 year mark... However I do ovulate on my own and it would have changed things had that not been the case.
I'm still hanging in there this month.. However getting bfns! Temp still up and no signs of AF yet..

 

[Angel5000]

Ripple - Some ObGyn can do the testing and some have to send you to a specialist. It depends on the Obgyn, and your insurance. I see my primary care physician for my annual physical and gyno stuff so she had to refer me to the fertility clinic associated with the doctors clinic I use because that's the only way my insurance will pay for it.

Hopefully your doc will be willing to get you the referral and testing you need to at least answer any questions and make sure everything is good. Not sure how it works for guys, though their tests are a lot easier. I'm sure your doc can give you the info.


Cletus - my doc said the same thing, wouldn't do any testing until I'd been TTC for a year. My sister is having real issues because she ISN'T ovulating on her own and her dr still refuses to send her for testing until she's been "TTC" for a year. I don't know how she can be "TTC" when she isn't even ovulating. But her doctor also refuses to treat her PCOS. Military base doctors. (my sister isn't military, her husband is). I'm so glad I am not dealing with that right now!

 

[mrscletus]

Funny story- I am actually military as well, but don't live on post or near a big post, so I don't have to go to military docs. Thankfully. They don't ever want to diagnose or treat RE issues.

So I was feeling out- now I am not sure. CM is still creamy and no sign of pink- at 12 dpo that is very odd for me. I didn't test this morning and am now kicking myself for not doing it. No cramping, after the other day, so I am starting to think maybe late implant? I had cramping and the feeling of AF on Tuesday with a temp drop the day prior.. who knows I am really just grasping at everything right now, hoping and praying this is the month. Everything just felt so right all the bd'ing the positive OPKs...

 

[mrscletus]

And she got me!!!

 

[Blackrain90]

So sorry ladies!!

 

[Angel5000]

So sorry AF got you! That's nice you don't have to go to an on base Doctor, my sister is actually talking about switching to an off base Doctor. She can if she wants but would have to start paying copays since she lived close enough to go to the base f she wanted. But it might be worth it to get a doc that will treat her symptoms.


Not much going on for me. Thought I was almost over this cold but today it feels like it's rearing up again. Plus today my car started making weird noises, dh thinks it's a bearing in the alternator. Not cool since we are a little tight on money this month. Blah. trying not to stress about it. I've got a massage tomorrow, going to do some yoga, and then my RE appointment Sunday. Hoping AF is gone by then!
