Hi again ladies.

I've been MIA for a few days. I thought my busy schedule was slowing down, but I guess not. But I am not going to complain. Since being so busy, I somehow got to 6dpo already I am thinking of testing tomorrow to see if the trigger is out of my system yet.

Have any of you ladies ever taken Crinone or progesterone suppositories? I asked my nurse about my 11 day luteal phase and she gave me some free samples of Crinone to last me until a few days after I test. I have a question about them, I won't give any details since there is some TMI involved, but I wanted to find out if anyone else had taken it before I give the TMI.

Oh, and congrats on +OPK's Sma and Maria

Hi Courtney

I was just going to ask about you - great to have you back AND at 6DPO already

I don't think my positive OPK actually led to ovulation this cycle I think the gynae was right about the capsul on my ovaries being too thick for the follicle to burst.
It's been more than 2 days now since the positive opk and I don'thave any of the post-ovulation symptoms like I always do. So Ill just have to wait and see. If still nothing by CD35, I have Provera to take to kickstart a new cycle and then back onto Clomid.
Ive obviously not taken progesterone suppositories as had no need but lots of my friends have.
It's quite a comittment actually...Once you start them, you can't stop until 12-14 weeks into pregnancy and phase them out gradually. You have to insert them at exactly the same time every day - every hour counts. And then I think you are meant to lie down for some time for it to dissolve in there....I think 11 days is fine for the luteal phase so Im not if Id take the suppositories...

oh no maria. i hope it did pop out so u can have an x mas bfp too!!!!

i think i may have O'd on both sides and im still feeling it a little this morning. my opks r getting lighter now so i think i say i O'd yesterday right?
well the BD has been takin care of so i hope we caught that little egg

 

[HoneyWright]

Maria, sorry you dont feel positive hun, what ov signs or post ov signs do you usually get?

SMA, yay so happy for you

I tested again today and its really dark, darker than yesterday and came up as i was using the test Only 16 sleeps till christmas, come on christmas bfp!!! I was thinking that maybe i have delayed Ov as i started taking Met 3 times a day after my cycle started??

I guess no one saw my previous post about any suggestion to bring on my period in order to start taking soy again.....................................

i didnt see it. do u take provera at all? i was prescribed this to start then i did soy but it never worked for me...the provera did but soy didnt

Thank you so much I dint have insurance to get the provera I will try to see of my Dr. will give me a prescription.

Thank you so much I dint have insurance to get the provera I will try to see of my Dr. will give me a prescription.

for me it only takes about 4 to 5 days on provera 10 mg to get me started then about 3 off of it and i start so if u can only get 10 pills u might be able to make it last for 2 months but every body is different. u should be able to get it from a regular doctor though

Hey Courtney, glad to hear that you are back and congrats on 6 dpo. I've never taken either if those so sorry I dont have any info.

Maria I hope you did O. maybe your body if just being nice with the after O nonsense.

I finally got my test results back from Nov 3 to see if I ovulated in oct. Talk about a long wait. The secretary said it looked like everything was normal with the result so I asked her if that ment I ovulated. She said "I think so" but you would have to talk to your doctor about that. So when I asked to speak with him about it she told me I would have to wait until my appointment on Jan 31!!!!! Because he was too busy to take calls. I think it is crazy to have to wait until the end of Jan to find out 100% if I ovulated back in Oct. Ugh. On top of that the witch got me today so ive had a horrible day and I'm in all kinds of pain in my stomach. . Oh well. No bfp for me before Christmas. Hopefully Jan has better luck for me. If I were to get pregnant this cycle My EDD would be my birthday. That would be a nice bday present lol

 

[pinkydinky]

jennie-i'm sorry the got you. wishing you better luck in january.

I really hope I don't have to take it at the same time every day because I don't I usually take it within a 2 hour window.

As for the 11 day luteal phase, we were concerned that I may be one of those ladies that does not have implantation occur until 11dpo or so. And by then, my progesterone is close to non-existent and so implantation would fail.

Also, most women do not ovulate until 2 days after their positive OPK. So you probably won't feel anything for another couple of days. Keep your chin up Maria , you are not out of the running until AF shows.

Sma, keep on BDing. O pains are usually felt before or after actual O. So if yours are before O pains, you should keep going with the

Gosh ladies! Christmas is coming up so fast. And that means that so are our test dates I'm so darn nervous!

 

[sma1588]

im pretty sure im either O-ing today or did yesterday because the pains....yesterdays were like random pinches today its more like cramps

 

[Courtney1020]

Do you plan to for the next few days?

It is possible for you to have O pains during actual O, but is is not very common. From what I could see of your pictures, it looks like yesterday's OPK was the true positive. So then you could ovulate today or tomorrow. I am guessing tomorrow because of the information my fertility specialist gave me about O pains and when the average woman ovulates after a +OPK (2 days). Either way, it sounds pretty promising that you are about to O

BTW, are you still temping?

Oh my! If you ovulate tomorrow, you could get a BFP Christmas Eve ( if you can wait that long before testing )! Wouldn't that be a wonderful gift.

Sorry for my message being all over the place I took my sleeping pill and my mind tends to wander after I take it. DH thinks it is hilarious. He makes fun of me the next day because I apparently do and say some funny things. But anyway, I am babbling Goodnight and I hope all goes well

 

[sma1588]

ok so we will for sure get some BD in tonight then. funny thing is 2morrow is the day i should be it would be cd 14. i got my first almost pos on cd 11 true pos was cd 12 so i guess that would be about right with what ure saying. yes i know im going to test x mas eve and day. that would be so awsome but so hard at the same time i will want to tell every 1 but cant!!!!!!!! ok so im not going to do the dpo thing because i wont no from not temping what day it actually was so i will test x mas eve and day. that should give me enough time ....i want some sleeping pills lol


edit-
i just checked my cm tmi i know sorry. but its more sticky and lotion like now so i think O has happend already. something happend because it deff. changed from a watery/ewcm to this

 

[MariaF]

sma - we seem to be total cycle twins Im still convinved I haven't ov'ed yet though....Usually it goes like this: I get first day of positive OPKs, then the second day and I ovulate either that night or early morning the following day. That should have been yesterday.....By now my nipples would have been killing me - yet I have nothing My temps did go up but I didn't take it yesterday because I was drinking the night before so today is the only rise I could record. Will need to see how tomorrow goes.
Also, Im STILL having twitches in both my sides - and why would I be having twitches after ovulation??

But we'll see. I decided to wait till CD31 and then start Provera (which is already next weekend).

Honey - best of luck, chick!!

Courtney - did you test today to check that the shot is out of your system? Not long till the actual test date for you

Lets get some Christmas BFPs, ladies !!!

 

[HoneyWright]

We BD last night Lets see what todays OPK will bring!

Has anyone ever used pre-seed? I did for the first time yesterday and I couldn’t seem to get everything out of the tube, everytime I squeezed it and then took it out it still seem to have stuff in it? Anyone else had this??

 

[sma1588]

maria- yes we are, there are a few other people that were on track with too but i think were the closest as far as the actual ovulation date. i hope u did actually O or maybe it is just taking a little longer this cycle for the symptoms....

im glad u said that about your nipples usually hurting because i thought i was crazy last night. we actually got some more BD in last night and ya lets just say my nipples were hurting(not to bad though ) before my OH even got home. im also still kinda cramping but not much.


i was reading up on the whole ovulation process and Q&A section of a few sites and have read that its BEST to BD before u get the + opk because u might miss the surge and egg even by a few hors but if you BD before you will mostlikly catch the egg because the sperm lives longer than the egg.....and of course get some extra BD in just incase.....im so happy thats exatly what we did...i feel pretty good about this month

 

[MariaF]

Yep, that's what we did too. But like I said Im not too hopeful. Will just have to wait and see.

We just got our new gynae appointment date through - December 23d. It's all a bit daunting because he thinks that we've had no tests done so I had to call and explain that we had LOADS checked already and I will be bringing copies of the notes with me.
Initially i wanted to go alone as it's just my PCOS i wanted to get a second opinion on but this Dr insists on seeing both partners for the first appointment....so DH had to take a day off work as the hospital is quite far.

Still, less than 2 weeks to go until I may get some better answers rather than just "wait and see and keep taking Clomid for the next 6 months!"

 

[HoneyWright]

SMA and MAria, sounding good ladies, I hope you Ov'd, have your OPK's gone blank or did you stop testing?

Maria hopefully you will get a BFP on 23rd and you wont need the appointment

Courtney will be first to test then, good luck hun

sma my cm changed today as well, much more thick and not stretchy, also got a much fainter OPK.

15 sleeps till christmas, and hopefully the best christmas ever!!!

 

[sma1588]

wow that would suck but hopefully when u go in they will do a blood test to c if ure prego before they give u anything else. that would be great if it came back saying u are!!!

is it normal to be cramping still? i had my pos opk on cd 11 now its cd 14 and i have a lotiony CM and now its not just my nipples that hurt its the rest of my boobs to. this is all new to me since i usually dont O...I REALLY doubt im o-ing today....even if i am we BD last night to cover it hehe

i tested yesterday and it was much lighter and didnt test today but i can just to see what it does lol so then that means i would of already O'd if my cm changed right?

 

[HoneyWright]

I think you would usually Ov the day it goes negative, and I think the change in CM backs that up. I would say you Ov'd yesterday or today, and I think I did today Yay go us!!!!!

The hurting boobs will be due to a rise in progesterone which happens after you Ov, so its looking really positive for you
