Shell's Angels I am jealous of your short cycles lol mine are 30-34days. Not good when your itching to O or you know your not pregnant and you just want AF to arrive so you can get on with trying next cycle. Sorry to hear BFN. I can see how you think your out completely this cycle. I am like that when I get a BFN after 12DPO. My last ectopic I got a BFP at 10DPO and 11 or 12DPO with a not sensitive test. But then some people don't get it till after AF is due so yeah I am kind of also with puppymom32 that it aint over till its over.
Me I am off camping soon and head home tomorrow morning. Working heaps this week will kill me I think.

Hi Ladies

Well I took a Superdrug test late this afternoon (couldn't wait), in fact I really didn't have enough wee and my urine slooooowwwwly crept up the testing stick lol. However ..... I got a faint positive!!!!! I can't believe it!!!! My symptoms are huge, veiny and very sore boobs, mild cramping on and off, lots and lots of hormonal spots on face , very emotional , tired and generally feeling icky (a metalic taste in mouth). Showed fiance the test and he saw the line straight away (too faint to show up in photo though), but he said that he didn't need to see a test to know that I was pregnant. Will do a test tomorrow using FMU and hopefully post a nice juicy photo with some nice juicy pink lines. EEEEEK, dare I be excited????? Jo xx

 

[Crypto1976]

Yes be excited hun! Your story is very inspiring! Please keep us up to date. Good luck XX

 

[Shell'sAngels]

fantastic news Jo!!!! hope you get a stronger line with fmu!!!

I really did think i was pregnant this month but goes to show that af symptoms are just like preg symptoms hehehe

Im still getting pain in my ovary i think the big cyst i got this month set off my 'symptoms' i just hope i dont keep getting these cysts im gonna have to go get another scan done otherwise cuse this is 3rd cycle running ive been in pain

 

[Olivia2]

Whoohoo Josiejo so exciting. Huge congratulations. I am home now so pleased MIL was been mean. I am just hanging out for AF and my surgery then Ill be officially ttc again can't wait. The wait has been awful.

 

[Shell'sAngels]

hi guys how are you all? Jo did you take another test yesterday morn?? hope you saw some bright lines

still waiting for af here, felt like shes coming for days just wish she would hurry up now so i can get onto the next cycle lol

Really should be doing the housework but seem to be being lead astray by this board lol

 

[Josiejo]

Yes, did another test but lines still faint. Going to wait a few more days (these things are v.expensive) and try again.

Still got all the signs though xx

 

[Olivia2]

Josiejo it can take a few days to get darker. Praying that next time you test the line is super dark. When is your AF due?

Shell'sAngels have you tested again? I am CD25 AF usually arrives from 30-35days although I have signs its about to come. No chance of a BFP this cycle as we have been using protection but soon as the surgery is done its back to ttc and praying its worked.

Hello to everyone else.

 

[Shell'sAngels]

Na not tested again Olivia however i can feel af is round the corner im on cd 22 normally comes by cd 25 at the latest!

 

[Olivia2]

Hope it is a BFP for you Shell'sAngels.
I have been looking for a FS to go to and I found one that specialises in tube disfunction and performs microsurgery on tubes with a fairly good success rate. Well it depends on the severity of the damage of course. The clinic I wanted to use I don't like the sound of their two Drs (its alot smaller clinic but closer to home still a 2hr drive but they just dont seem to have the experience others do in other clinics)
Well this other clinic is 5-6hrs away and it does mean staying over night and alot more money but I think the man would be perfect for our problems And bonus where he is we are going to a wedding in March anyway so I am hoping to get an appointment to see him same day as the wedding seeing as we ar in that area. So its the very end of march. I haven't made an appointment yet but hoping I can get in if I call soon. They said its normally a 6week wait but March next year is like a 5month wait so it should be fine. He better not be on holidays lol

Josiejo I hope your line is getting darker if you testing. I have brought heaps of tests of ebay. They are heaps cheaper and do work well. Well they have for me in the past.

Hi ladies!
Puppymom32- I relaxed alot over the past few months also and I now just take vitmains and use progesterone cream after O but thats about it. How did you find out about your follicles? I want to have mines checked out, it would be good to know that everything is in order so that all we have to do is catch that O, but its hard to get doctors who listen and care. But knowledge is power, and thats why I'm curious about your experience.

Shell'sAngels- I have short cycles also 23-25 if i'm lucky, usually 24.

Olivia2- Camping sounds like it'll be a good break, have a good time! As for testing after the ectopic my dr didn't do any follow up in terms of the hcg testing or an ultrasound/sonogram, which I thought was weird, but I think its cause he felt he was God and did what he had to do, lol. But they did take the entire tube out so i'm guessing thats why.

Jo- Congrats on the BFP!!!! When are you going to the Doctor?

 

[Olivia2]

My Dr tested my BHCG was going down as I still had MS for a few weeks after (prob the surgery didn't help either) HCG was back to non-pregnant level 3weeks later. They also tested the pregnancy (as bub had no heart beat on scan) to confirm and all come back that the tube had the pregnancy in it (well that was obvious you just had to look at the tube to tell that) I've had no other testing since then. I do have a referral for BHCG to have done as soon as I get pregnant again so I don't have to go to the Dr to get it just hoping I need it soon. That would be nice.

 

[KimmyB]

Hey ladies, been reading the recent posts and have a question if you don't mind...I had my BHCG levels taken yesterday (14 days post surgery) and they were down to 8! Yey! So they've discharged me! However, (this is probably going to sound thick) but does it go to zero??? Is that the normal non-pregnant state? Am I likely to ovulate when it's still 8? I only thought of these questions when I got off the phone...D'oh!

[Shell'sAngels]

af arrived in full swing this morning 25 days on the dot lol...

I knew it was coming though... onto next month

Sounds promising hun FXXX for you.

BK- sorry I was out sick. my doctor monitored me while I was on the clomid I would come in for an ultrasound on CD12 to see if the clomid was working. When I came for a few cycles he noticed that my follicles were a bunch of small ones instead of regular ones. This is how they diagonised me with PCOS and once i started the metformin my follicles got bigger. All of this was monitored by an ultra sound not covered by my insurance so it was 125.00 each visit. Kinda sucked but at least I knew what was going on. I would ask your dr to see if you can come in around CD 12 so they can measure your follicles and see where you stand. Good Luck hun

Kimmy,
I would think they would go all the way down but like you I have never been monitored all the way down to zero. Maybe you can try using OPK's this month just to see the progression because your cycle may be a little screwy for a while. Good Luck.

So sorry shell. FXXX for next month.

Good Luck sounds like that dr would be worth the extra cost to make things happen.

Kimmy a non-pregnant state is considered under 5 so you a super close. Even now they might be under 5. I don't know if you will ovulate this month. You probably will but it might be a little later then previous months. Do you have any signs of fertile days ie more CM, increase sex drive etc?

Shell's Angel stinky about AF arriving. I guess if you know its going to come its a relief to arrive so you can get on to the new cycle. Best of luck this cycle hope it ends/starts with a BFP.

I am on CD27 AF usually arrives anywhere between CD30-34 but usually CD31. I am hoping it is late as then I have more time to recover from my op before I should O. If it comes early prob no chance next cycle of even trying as my vag will be too sore (there removing scar tissue from my first birth) don't know how long it will take to heal.

Anyone that has had a lap other then for EP do you know if your AF has arrived early due to the surgery? I should be CD10-11 I have been told it might come again then as there playing around in there. Just wondering the likelyhood of AF coming or staying away till when its due to arrive.

Also a really dump question. I know if your tube is half blocked or something this wouldn't help but if you exercised heaps and jumped around do you think gravity would help sent the egg to the uterus in the 2ww and reduce the chance of a repeat EP? The cycle I had the EP I was sitting down most of the 2ww and often wonder if I was running and standing up more would gravity have helped move it along and maybe it wouldn't have got stuck? Any point start running around and jumping on the spot next 2ww just in case?
