positive opk @ 8dpo...HELP!!!

[L.E.]

MzSwizz, mine is the 30th of December and I turn the big 3-0 .... Definitely wanted another baby before then, but if I could have a bfp with a sticky bean by then, I would be over the moon! I hope we both get that for a birthday present!

Let us know how you appt goes! Tomorrow is day 1 of Clomid and 2 days is DS' 6th birthday, then out of town family next weekend and hs bday party.

 

[mzswizz]

L.E. my mom birthday is december 30th It would be great if we both get bfps by our birthday then we would be bump buddies And good luck on the Clomid. Hoping its 1 step closer to your bfp.

well ladies im cd16 today and just came back from the doctor. I love the doc actually. She actually listened to me. So with that being said...i got prescriptions for skin treatment (that i been dealing with and trying to get rid of) and also for my knee pain. Plus, she gave me a referral list for ob/gyn and orthopedics She wants me to schedule an appt with an ob/gyn that works with hormonal therapy and also infertility because she wants me to be put on medications like Clomid etc but she said thats for the ob/gyn to decide but she thinks Clomid would be the best way to go Also, she did a blood draw for anemia since i have heavy bleeding during menstruation and also bloodwork to check my thyroids to make sure they are functioning properly So everything went pretty darn well and im moving forward now. I have another appt with her on Nov. 19th @ 11:45am so 3 days before I see DH So things are really moving. Also, she wants to do u/s to check the ovarian cysts and she was pretty pissed to hear I have ovarian cysts and my docs never scheduled a follow up on them because they said they were simple cysts and it would be no harm done. So im glad she cares so much Well thats all for me. Im going to take a nap because the bloodwork has me exhausted.

 

[mzswizz]

i called the referral ob/gyn and my appt is.....tomorrow @ 10:45am Didnt think i would be able to get in so fast.

 

[astito]

good luck for tomorrow

 

[L.E.]

Yay, MzSwizz! That's great- especially that you get to see the OBGYN so soon!

I forgot to say "Welcome, Astito!"

 

[mzswizz]

thanks astito!

L.E. yes I know. Im happy that im getting everything done and quickly.

 

[astito]

as my 8 dpo ending tonight, my obsession on peeing the test sticks has just begun today. my test line on the opk stick is really dark this evening. (not a positive opk but near to dark as the control line). i have too muck opk, so I started to pee on them first

 

[staceyj83]

Msswizz so happy to hear your new doctor is on the ball with things come on bfps

 

[mzswizz]

astito-a positive opk is a good sign. fxed you have a bfp in the making.

stacey-yes im excited now onto tomorrow's appt. I already talked to dh about my doc appt and explained everything. He is super excited and is already saying so its a possibility that you're going to get pregnant when you come up here on the 22nd Men!!

 

[staceyj83]

Awwww I love when guys are like that cant wait for your update tomorrow

Le did you start the meds are they being nice to you

 

[L.E.]

Stacey- Yes, I took my first Clomid at 6 pm. I was actually pretty grouchy earlier today and am fine now, so maybe it helped lol. No symptoms so far and it is almost 11:30 pm. So far, so good. I'll keep you all updated. If O happens at all, I'd expect it to be at least after the 15th. I think the 14th or 15th is my mid-cycle ultrasound but of course I didn't write it on the calendar, so I need to call tomorrow to see when it is.

 

[staceyj83]

Good to hear I have everything crossed for you guys

 

[mzswizz]

AFM, im cd17 today and I just came back from my ob/gyn. Well, actually it wasnt the one i initially picked..it was actually her partner BUT i fell in love I talked, she listened to everything and then we started getting the ball rolling. Well, I've found out that I have PCOS But at the same time, it would explain everything from the irregular bleeding, cycles etc. She said PCOS is when there are lots of immature cysts on the ovaries which looks like acne on the ovaries which is hindering from me ovulating and getting pregnant So with that being said..i am gettign an u/s in December because thats when I go in for my annual pap smear Even though at first I didnt think it was necessary...she has put me on BCP that i start on Sunday because she says she wants to give my ovaries rest because they are not working properly. So i have 7 months of bcp to use. And actually it is a good idea because at the same time, she is going to run proper tests to see whats going on with me. And she isnt worrying about treating me with any infertility drugs because she said she knows dh and I are fertile and healthy since we are able to conceive naturally on our own So thats a good sign. She said that after the 7 months...stop taking the bcp and have sex every day (which means back to normal routine ) so we can catc hthe first egg being released after the bcp. So now im going to go from super heavy 7 day periods to 1-2 day spotting periods Awesome for me because now we wont have to wait long to dtd And I already said i give it until our next weeding anniversary to conceive which is July 25th and when I stop taking BCP..it will be June 11th!!! Hmmm maybe its a sign that we will get a wedding gift Fxed!!! So now im happy and satisfied and now we are in the waiting process but at the same time its a good thing also because atleast DH and I will be properly settled in wherever he is stationed etc so everything is working out

 

[L.E.]

Glad you're happy with the plan, MzSwizz!

 

[mzswizz]

yes L.E. and dh is happy too because now we dont have to worry about AF getting involved and she gave me folic acid along with prenatals and all have good reviews and the best of the best so we know we will have our bfp after this

 

[astito]

mzswizz, I have already guessed you have pcos because the reason you opened this topic was your positive opk just before AF. high lh level days after ovulation is a sign of pcos unless you are not pregnant.
don't worry, this is not a big problem...every one to three women has pcos. and most of them don't aware of this...

 

[mzswizz]

thanks astito. That means alot to me. Im not really worried because she put my mind at ease and told me that I should be fine. She has given me folic acid to help with ovulatory function, regulate a rhythm for my ovaries and the maturation of my eggs. I researched the folic acid online on their website and got the information. So not only will i be getting rid of the cysts..but I will be gearing my ovaries up to become normal which is great and if i want...i can stop the birth control earlier than 7 months so its no worries. Im just glad im finally able to get the ball rolling and finally found out whats wrong.

 

[L.E.]

At least there is a diagnosis, MzSwizz. That makes it a lot easier. All those years they just called mine DUB- Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding. Then I got this new OBGYN (and I'd been to plenty of docs before) and someone was actually able to see the cysts I have and checked my insulin levels, and I got my diagnosis and help. You seem to at least be a "thin" PCOS-er, so that's a plus.

For me, today is CD7 and I'm thinking today will be my last day of any bleeding. I expect to have some spotting maybe and that's it. I hope it's not more than that and that I'm blood-free by tonight or tomorrow. Tonight is dose 3 of Clomid and things are still fine. I think my temp is a little more varied this month, but that high temp was even before I took Clomid, so I don't know what that is about. I had a little headache last night, but it was really mild and I didn't even feel the need to take anything for it.

I can't say enough how much I want the Clomid to work... I obviously want to conceive right away, but if the Clomid makes me ovulate, I'll be happy. Then I would know it should happen during my 6 months on it. If it doesn't make me ovulate, I'll be discouraged for sure... I know she would raise my dose for next month though. Plus I really want to see what ovulation looks like for me as far as BBT goes. I've been temping since April and haven't seen a real ovulation yet!! That's 7 months of temping everyday pretty much for nothing.

Ok I'm done babbling. Fngrs... Where are you??

 

[staceyj83]

Msswizz so happy to see you have a plan

Le what dose did she start you with cant remember if you said or not yea where is she at
