Good luck Angel!!

Not much new here. Still no o so really just kinda hoping af stays away until the 5th when we are good to start back ttc.

Just got back from my US. The nurse said there's a lot of fluid around my ovaries, so I definitely have ovulated. (not sure why that's so exciting, i know that I do ovulate). I was unsure because of my temp this morning - I had a horrible night sleep and didn't get more than a couple hours of sleep max. My lining looks good, measures at 8.5, and I guess they want something >8 so that's also good. I go back in next week Monday for blood draw for progesterone and then make an appointment to meet with the dr to go over all the results from this month's data.

I'm thinking I must have just recently Ovulated because there was a lot of fluid around the ovary. At first she said "oh there's a little fluid you might have ovulated" and then got a better angle and said "oh yeah, there's a ton of fluid there, you've definitely ovulated". But I don't know that for sure. I should have asked if they can tell how long ago the ovulation was based on the fluid amount.

Nurse also gave us "homework". Since we BD yesterday she said to BD again tomorrow, and then 36-48 hours later again. Not sure why 48 hours from tomorrow because I'm pretty sure since I already O'd the egg won't be viable at that point but.... okay.

Angel, how exciting, i hope you catch that eggo!

Afm, nothing much to report. 8 weeks today (signature is still off... I think i kinds like seeing a day less but knowing i'm a day ahead hahaha)
I'm still blessed to not have a lot of nausea, only sometimes for a short while and never too bad.
A little over two weeks until we'll tell our parents i'm getting very excited, though still get worried a lot. The reassurance of a scan unfortunately doesn't last too long.

 

[krissie328]

That is great Angel!! Fx for you this month!!

Cupcake- 8 weeks!! Already? That has really flown by.

 

[Blackrain90]

Angel woohoo for ovulating! I understand how that's exciting, because there is no if/may be/waiting on temps to confirm. Looking at your chart I think its safe to say you ovulated yesterday. No idea why they still want you to bd the next few days, but maybe just to 100% cover your bases? Though 48 hours after you know for sure you ovulated seems silly.

Wow cupcake 8 weeks, where is the time going?!

 

[Angel5000]

Black - yeah, that part confused me too. I understand why she said tomorrow instead of today because they know we BD'd yesterday and the day before, and if I ovulated this morning then the egg would still be viable tomorrow. But why they said to go another 48 hours after does seem silly. I'll try to make sure we BD tomorrow, just n case, but I think I Ovulated yesterday.

 

[Blackrain90]

Can I just say your BD timing is great!!

 

[Angel5000]

Thanks! I'm really hoping this is the cycle! Thanks to my HSG and everything else we haven't BD since shortly after I O'd last cycle! Stupid HSG.

lol

 

[krissie328]

Keeping everything crossed for you Angel! Your timing does look good.

 

[mrscletus]

Fingers crossed for you Angel... Sounds very promising.

Cupcake- you have a raspberry!! Love it! Cannot believe it has been 8 weeks tho!

AFM- just sitting over here with no thermometer, no tests... Thinking that ignorance is bliss and I am not stressing this TWW at all!! I kind of like this.
My nips are so sore tho.. And hubs thinks they have changed color. (He also thinks there is NO question that this is our month)

 

[Angel5000]

I'm really glad that I had that dr appointment and that they confirmed I ovulated because my temps make me think otherwise. They are rising very very slowly (as in not really rising), and they never dropped as far as they usually do at O, so if I was looking just at temps I'd be stressed out. I am much calmer about this cycle knowing that I did, indeed, O.

Cletus - sounds lovely, all relaxed and stuff! I suppose I could stop temping for the remainder of my cycle since I know that I did Ov. Then the idea of stopping temping makes me nervous.... lol! Vicious cycle.

 

[Blackrain90]

Haha Cletus, when I got preg my hubs was convinced I would be, so maybe they have a sixth sense about this stuff!

 

[krissie328]

My hubby always thinks I am pregnant when we are trying.

Angel- your chart isn't looking like you o'd. But your scan would definitely show it so that is good you did have it.

Not much going on here. I am struggling waiting for af to show. I just really want to get on with ttc again.

 

[Blackrain90]

Mrscletus when are you gonna be testing?

 

[Blackrain90]

Wish me luck today ladies. My son got up for the day at 2:30am, resulting in barely 4 hours sleep for me and hubby, and 5.5 for my son. If I make it through this day without murdering anyone it will be a damn miracle.

 

[MsRipple]

Hope you get some rest Black!

I went to the endocrinologist - my thyroid was measured as under active and dr thinks I have an autoimmune disease called Hashimoto's. Reasonably common over 30 (5% of so of women). She ran some additional tests and will confirm what the issue is next week. Can impact ttc, but medicine should resolve the issue (at least from a hormone perspective). I have some concerns as its autoimmune, but, assuming that is what it is, at least I can start addressing it.

 

[cupcake.]

Sorry to hear that Ripple but i bet getting your thyroid levels where they should is going to help with ttc

Black, hope you'll make it okay maybe you'll be able to sneak a nap?

Afm, nausea is getting worse... It used to be only sometimes and always went away after earting but the past two days it's been quite bad until late afternoon/early evening when it finally tapers off. Doesn't matter if i eat, it doesn't really go away anymore.. Ah well, at least things seem well in there.

 

[krissie328]

Sorry to hear that msripple. At least it sounds like it will be a treatable option.

Black- I hope you were able to sneak in a nap.

Cupcake- Sounds like things are going good. Hopefully in a few weeks things will settle down and you will start feeling better.

Afm, I am mostly just whiney and impatient as ever. I am so ready to have the witch arrive and get on with things. I counted down my time and I have roughly 3 weeks until she arrives if I use progesterone. So really not that long to go. But feels just so much longer.

I also had a first.. I mentioned ttc next month and DH got nervous. I have no idea what that was about. He has been the one all ready to go since DS was 4 months old. I think it was because we hadn't talked about it since the loss and I kinda hit him out of left field. I am sure he is fine with it. Just felt weird to have him react that way.

 

[mrscletus]

So on a decent hold would it be worth it to test tonight? 10 dpo... Or just wait until the am??

Better to wait.
