OPK positive 5 days in a row?

[sweetscarlet]

It's so interesting to see what everyone is going through. It amazes me that we have so many options to help with different situations. I know it sucks to have the tests and procedures, but I can't help but be grateful that medical science has at least given those with issues a chance, ya know?

I'm approaching O day over here. Should be today or tomorrow! Then on to the TWW. Hoping we've done enough BDing to seal the deal this time.

I have zero advice for you girls since we're so new to all of this TTC stuff, but I'm here to be your cheerleader all day long!

Wow that sucks about having to pay for it. Still its good that the HSG is covered!! Id take it if its offered then chick. But im crossing fingers and toes for a bfp before then!! x

I have to say this progesterone is kicking my butt. I've been really sleepy since starting it even without doing much. After putting it in I get a little crampy not too bad though. But today my boobs really started hurting. They feel fine as long as there is no pressure against them so wearing a bra today was really uncomfortable. Even my stretchy maternity bra was uncomfortable. I am 8dpo now and I've had a lot of the same symptoms as the short time I was pregnant in February. I'm trying to contribute all of the symptoms to the progesterone suppositories even though I'm really confident about this cycle.

I honestly have a lot of anxiety about testing next week. Because I had a bad experience of my tests turning from positive to lighter the day before my mc. I want to hold off until 14dpo because I want to avoid knowing about a cp if it happens again. Maybe it's silly but I feel like I have a poas phobia now. But there's still a little part of me that wants to know asap. It's frustrating.

Faith insurance can be so irritating! It's good to hear yours will be good for pregnancy and l&d. Paying out of pocket adds up so quick. I spent several hundred dollars just for one drs appt and my progesterone prescription this week and I have insurance. I'm wonder what am I paying them for again?

Sweetscarlet I hope you did O!

Sarah did you meet with your dr yet about the arthritis/fibro?

 

[sarahuk]

I did sweetheart. He said that he 100% doesnt think its Fibro now and is confident its probably Psoriatic arthritis which is very much like rheumatoid. It sucks...ive had all the bloods and xrays and am just waiting now on an MRI before getting the official diagnosis. If it is that, if there is any damage to the joints present they will put me on disease modifying drugs which i cant take whilst ttc. So it will be decision time. Ill need to find out if pregnancy hormones or the whole process of carrying another baby will speed up whats going on. Then it comes down to whether or not we are prepared to take on the long term damage and pain for another. I am I think. But then Im aware I can pass this on and I already feel terrible for the boys that they may have it if I do

I had a friend btw who had the exact same complaints about the progesterone!! She did say that after a few cycles the symptoms did reduce so hang on in there honey. You may very well not need it past this cycle!!

I know its hard to know what to do for the best with poas after a loss. For me, I didnt do it for a few cycles but you still ultimately end up creeping back to old habits!!

How are we this lovely weekend ladies?

Alex had me up half the night. Hes never ever sick and was just rolling around disturbed and crying and then chucked up EVERYWHERE!!

x

 

[BabeAwait]

I'm sorry you're going through that sarah. Hopefully there is minimal damage and it won't have much of an effect on pregnancy. Thanks for the poas advice I guess I'll take it day by day. Poor baby I hope Alex gets to feeling better soon.


This morning I had a temp dip. I am 8dpo so I'm hoping it's an implantation dip and no af. I haven't had any spotting thank goodness normally I would have had days of spotting by now.

 

[sarahuk]

Your chart is really looking nice to be fair!!

I think with poas you have to follow your heart. For me, bfn on a test didnt upset me...I always had hope it was AF that did it for me so I didnt struggle as much mentally with the decision

I'm counting today as 1dpo....so here we go with the TWW. I try SO hard not to get excited/anxious but it never fails. The next 2 weeks are going to crawl by. My husband asked me this morning "did we ovulate yet?" And the look on his face when I said I think so was so stinking cute! I love that he's as excited about a baby as I am. This will be his first though so it's new and Exciting.

My weekend has been pretty relaxed. We've been pretty lazy! I worked with my youngest one on a piano piece she's working on but that been the extent of it.

 

[BabeAwait]

That's cute of your H sweerscarlet! I hope your twe goes by quickly. Wow I dream of one day having a daughter to do those things with

Sarah my chart is similar to my cp chart except for higher temps. I hope it's a good sign! I think I'm going to take it day by day. I know if I avoid testing first thing in the morning I will stay away the rest of the day. I'm persistent on using fmu for some reason lol. Is your little Alex feeling better?

Carly I miss you!

Afm I've gotten in the habit of posting right before bed because I'm busy throughout the day. Definitely had progesterone/pregnancy symptoms today. Thankfully my boobs didn't hurt and it's the first day since starting the progesterone that I haven't required a nap. I've had a really uncomfortable pinching feeling in the same spot of my uterus all day and have a lower back ache. I pretty much ache all over truthfully. My temp did come back up after the possible implantation dip and still no spotting or signs of af

Bless thats so cute! Its so lovely when the man takes active interest in whats going on. Ive had friends here that have struggled with their men not being so interested in actually putting in the effort let alone whats going on afterwards. I was lucky in this too, Matt was always very interested

I was just thinking when I looked at your chart that it all looked very promising for an implantation dip!! When will you start testing?

Haha bless with the FMU!!! I wish I could say Id been the same but I always obsessed "was it too diluted on my last test? OMG MUST TEST AGAIN!!!!". I would test like 5 times a day lol

Thats great that things feel like they have eased with the meds hun. Sounds like your body is getting used to the higher level of progesterone! x

Sorry it took so long to get back here but my appointment was a little weird. She told me she doesn't believe i pcos, she just thinks i had a crazy cycle or the OPK just didn't catch the surge. This is the first time i have seen her since my DH's SA. So then she told me that they rate the sperm kinda like grades 14+ is great 5-13 is just okay and below 5 is bad. She rated DH a 9 which is okay she said and i could get pregnant off it. She isn't going to give me clomid this cycle because she didn't like a few of my side effects i was dealing with and she wants to give my body a break! Thank goodness! ! She did have me schedule a HSG test for CD7-CD12 of next cycle, just depends on if I am pregnant now or if I start my AF. She told me that depending on my HSG results that in 3 months if I'm not pregnant she is referring me to a fertility specialist for a IUI because of DH sperm since that will be around 11-12 months of us TTC. When i left she hugged me and said that since I'm bloated it's a great sign i O'd and her fx'd that it's my month and i don't have to do anything. Way to get my hopes up right lol optimistic but highly doubtful. So to be honest I couldn't even tell you how many DPO I am, but AF is due on Sunday. If she shows her face, my procedure will be on Monday May 5th.

Geez it just seems like everything is moving so fast!

 

[BabeAwait]

Took a test today at 10dpo. I shouldn't have because it looks pretty stark negative to me. I was getting anxious waiting I just had to pee on something. Temps still look great.

Sarah if I had several dozen frers I probably would test multiple times a day. I only have three well actually two now and I'm avoiding buying more. I also have two first signals and two cb digitals. I didn't get a nice positive until I think 13dpo so I may just need to wait until 14dpo like I had planned. Ugh it's torture.

Faith FX you get a bfp so you won't have to go through all that! Uh our doc sounds nice! I don't think mine would ever hug me lol. Are you testing Sunday?

 

[faith2015]

BabeAwait - She is awesome!! I literally just switched docs because I hated my last one. So I am so very lucky!!! Thank you!! I sure hope I get a BFP but I doubt I will. I will more than likely test Friday or Saturday morning so I can have some drinks this weekend if its a BFN. I have had a lot on my plate the past couple of months with custody battles, 2 deaths in the family/friend family and my bff's mother was just put in hospice.

 

[carlywarly]

Aw Michelle!! Naughty naughty!! Lol...tbh I don't blame you though - I have NO willpower whatsoever! Like Sarah said, I'd be testing 5 times a day....just in case my pee wasn't very strong lol. Don't be disheartened by a bfn...I'm keeping the faith for you!! Fingers crossed this is your month

Faith, great news about your appt hun! Fingers crossed thia is your cycle too - so that you won't even need the hsg! Ps your doc sounds brilliant - well done, seems you caught a good one x

Hope all you other ladies are well I'm still in waiting mode. Forgot to pee on something today, but got a hint of mojo earlier so hopefully gearing up to positive opk soon

 

[sweetscarlet]

Good Morning girls! How are we all feeling this week? I've had some serious boob pain that's radiating into my armpit and shoulder. I usually am pretty sensitive after O, but I don't ever remember it being like this. I've had some twinges on my left side, but trying not to look into those too much. I've had similar twinges in previous months. Yesterday I had one weird wave of nausea, but it was brief and I kept smelling a weird ammonia smell in my office like there was a litter box or something, but no cats anywhere near!

psycho symptom spotting as begun! My guesstimate is that today is 4dpo....only like 10 more to go haha

 

[BabeAwait]

Another high temp today I'm being a good girl and I'm not going to test today.

Faith I'm sorry you have so many stressful things going on. FX for our bfps this weekend!

Carly FX you O soon! Don't forget to pee on something today lol

Sweetscarlet Don't drive yourself crazy with ss, like you said you still have 10 days to go.So are you planning on testing at 14dpo?
