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

[staceyj83]

That is what i use its the only kind that wakes me up for some reason

 

[L.E.]

Got our old cell out, got the time and date set right, set the alarm (actually did this first), and I guess it never went off. Today I only woke up an hour late... but then I had to use the bathroom and fell down the stairs again. Plus my ear has been plugged for maybe 2 months and last night it started to hurt. Guess I need to make a dr.s appt. But for now I'm going back to bed. This morning hasn't started off great.

MzSwizz, How did your visit go? Are you back with us now?

 

[L.E.]

Well I'm waiting rather impatiently to O... those OPKs almost sound like a good idea. And all of a sudden last night at bedtime, my piercing started to bother me, like it was too tight. Checked it this morning and it looks swollen and still hurts. Yesterday it was feeling so much better... don't know what happened. I put some Tea Tree Oil on it. I hope that helps.

How are you ladies doing?

 

[staceyj83]

busy getting the kids ready to go back to school on monday along with coming down with a cold or something i hate this hot to cold cold to hot bs i always get sick when it does this

 

[L.E.]

Awww well I hope your body fights it off and it doesn't turn into anything nasty. It stinks being sick, but it's even worse when you're preggers and can't take any meds. I know I had a nasty cold once when pregnant with DS. No fun.

 

[staceyj83]

Thanks its a pain the butt and we are going to the circus tomorrow to so this should be fun my niece has never been

How's everyone?

AFM, im cd2 again!!! First AF lasted from Dec. 19-Dec. 31st Now I got ANOTHER AF starting Jan. 3rd Its really driving me crazy. This is the proper AF because I am having loads of clots, bleeding heavy, painful cramping etc. I thought by now I would be properly adjusted to the BCPs but I guess not. On Sunday I start month 3 pack and Im hoping that things get better. So far dh stay has been pretty good. We celebrated XMas, my 23rd birthday, my mom's birthday, new year's eve and new year's together. Also had an amazing time at our overnight getaway. There has been majority times of stress because DH and his mom have been arguing back and forth BUT the godo thing is..she isnt moving in until DH leaves so we can have our alone time together. Even though these AFs have been a pain in my behind...DH and I still enjoyed dtd like its no tomorrow and not one AF is going to stop us Right now, DH is out with the guys on his little guys night out and Im just at home. He leaves to go back Sunday and when he goes back he should be able to pick his job and wait for his new contract and orders. I had my hematologist appt and found out that my platelets level is back to normal range (my level is 411 and the max is 450 ) and im borderline iron deficient. My iron level suppose to be at 100% and im at 25% so he told me to take iron supplement pills every day and then when I come back in march, he will check to see where my levels at to determine whether i should continue taking them every day or only when I have my AF so another appt set in March well actually to scheduled in March for the hematologist. I have my follow up with my primary care doctor next month on the 18th and Then my ob/gyn appt in March plus the 2 hematologist appts as well. So busy busy me. I also have the hemoglobin c trait so dh has to get tested to see if he has it because if he does then our baby will have a 25% chance of being anemic. So will get that done once we are properly together. 3 more months worth of birth control to take Also, im going back to school to get my nursing degree. So because I want to become a midwife....im going to go to college and become a RN and then work my way up. Seeing that Im going to be pretty busy with my nursing degree. DH and I decided that we will ttc once i get my nursing degree. So that's 1 1/2-2 years. Even though, subconsciously, I still want to ttc once the birth control is over but we shall see whats in store for us. Well thats all for now.

 

[L.E.]

MzSwizz- Wow you were busy and sounds like you will be busy again soon! I may get more detailed posting later but it's 3 a.m. and I need to be going to bed. That's great that you want to be a midwife. Won't that take more than 2 years though? Take it from someone who has been on this TTC road a long time. I would at least work on getting your cycles straightened out during this time. I don't think you should be having this crazy bleeding on the pill. You may want to see about switching brands to something stronger or if they're still wacky after you finish the 3 months, try Provera to induce a real period and see if that helps you. With as crazy and prolonged as my bleeding has been since 14, I don't think I had any breakthrough bleeding on the pill.... at least nothing major that I recall. I think initially on the mini-pill I may have had some spotting but that was 5.5 yrs ago so I can't say for sure.

Stacey- Have fun at the circus.

And for me I really hope I O soon. This BDing every other day is already wearing on us and it's only been 4 times lol. Doesn't help that tonight's was after 2 a.m.... Should've gone to bed sooner. I don't want it to feel like a chore and I know it will get there if my cycle drags on. Anyway, I'll probably get on here at some point when people are actually awake lol. Night!!

 

[staceyj83]

welcome back mssizz seems you have been a busy bee happy dh time home has been great and that is a great plan and good luck

LE hope you o soon on your own

Im hoping to have fun i feel a little better today i got up this morning and put the kids to work helping me clean up the house thanks to me being lazy it needed but we got everythng done in less then an hour now doing clothes fun fun and alice shocked us all she has only been walking here and there will she walked from the family room at the back of the house all the way to the fornt door and now she wont stop walking i love it but dh missed it because of work

 

[mzswizz]

L.E. yes becoming a midwife will take longer than 2 yrs but becoming a RN (registered nurse) will only take 1 1/2-2 years. So I just want to get my first nursing degree just to get my foot in the door and then go back to continue on to become a midwife. Seeing that its going to be a few years...we are already planning on children in between atleast so our careers wont come before our main goal which is growing our family Also, in my March appt..I will talk to her about it. She wanted to see me in March ebcause she says it can take 3-4 months for my body to adjust to the BC and I read reviews and women have been going through the same thing as me. Some get better over time while others switch to a higher dose BC so we shall see what happens in March. But im ready to end these whacky cycles. They are worse off than before I started taking the BC. GL on O'ing and dh and I have weird times of dtd ourselves lol.

Stacey-glad you are feeling better and yes been very busy with DH. Glad we got alot done though.

AFM, im on cd4 today and so far this AF has been on the light side but im just waiting it out to see whats going on. Cant believe 3 months have came and gone already. Today I started month 3 of the bcps. So time is flying by. Also today was the day DH had to leave to go back to the base He is on his way back now so he should be there in the afternoon. Before DH left, he sat his mom down and gave her rules for the house. But at the end of it all..she is going to do what she wants. Thats pretty much what she told him and we talked about it and he was like, dont let her boss you around and just like he told her..im the boss of the house now so if she has anything to say or do she has to come to me first. So atleast DH and I got an understanding. I cant wait until I can be back with him again. So now its back to taking care of the household.

 

[L.E.]

MzSwizz, When do you get to see DH again? I hope your MIL is on her best behavior.

Stacey, Are you feeling better and how was the circus?

I was hoping for a temp raise today, but my temp went lower. If I go out today I think I'll pick up an opk. I just want to see if I'm even close I guess. I still plan on trying to keep up the every other day BD, but this is my 5th day of a high cervix and actually I checked a few mins ago and it went even higher where I couldn't reach it. It's also my 8th day of wet cm... so if I'm going to O I hope it's now vs later. I've had several fertile patches with either late O or no O, so I know it doesn't mean anything. However, my temps do look similar to last month before I O'd so that makes me a little more hopeful, but I know it would be a long-shot for me to O at a "normal" time.

 

[mzswizz]

i get to see him again once he gets his new orders since he is switching from submarines. So we are just awaiting to see what job he will get, where he will go to school, how long he going to be at school, and where he is going to be stationed to determine when im going to see him. But next time i see him..it will be permanently

 

[staceyj83]

Feel better just tired the circus was great all 3 girls loved it alice was more like a 2 year old watching it her jaw droping claping putting her hands up watching everything dd has been before and loves it everytime my niece was shocked her eyes were popping out the whole time her favorite part was dressing up with the clowns before the show me and dh ended up staying up late watching tv so today has a sleepy day tho im getting lots done just kind of slowly

Le your temps are looking good

 

[L.E.]

MzSwizz, I hope you reunion is soon and that your DH gets the position he wants.

Stacey, Sounds like everyone had fun. I think we've gone to the circus twice with DS but it makes me nervous watching all the dangerous stuff.

I just got back from the Dollar Store and got 3 opks. Well I took one and it's negative but dark. I guess we'll see what tomorrow's temp and opk look like. I did see a little bit of ewcm earlier....well a significant amt of cm but only a little stretchy...so we'll see.

 

[staceyj83]

Me too we didnt have plan to go this year but dh ended up getting free tickets so why not

 

[L.E.]

Yep we got free tickets last year and that's why we went.

Oh and I wanted to add that actually my opk is pretty close to positive on a short hold and without limiting fluids (but still decent concentration) so I'm hopeful even though I know it's a long- shot.

 

[staceyj83]

Lol gotta love free stuff come on body you can do it

 

[mzswizz]

hey ladies..hows everyone?

AFM, well i guess this is how my AFs really suppose to be. It has been light enough to jsut have on one panty liner a day but of course i always change them. But no more cramps and I always think its on its way out because its that light. Hoping now it is on track and it wont come until the 4th week of the bcps. Because even though I had an extended AF and then a REAL AF, the real AF came on the 4th week while the extended AF came during the 2nd week. Also, i read that spotting and bleeding between AFs is normal with the pills but I hope this 2 AFs in a row thing doesnt happen again. Well, my friend needs a place to stay so I told her she can move in here until she gets on her feet. Atleast now it will help me deal with my MIL and she wont really be on my case alot because a "stranger" to her, will be in the house as well so she would most likely be on her best behavior. So I guess everything works out. I just got to talk to dh about it first and my friend is even willing to pay rent so that would REALLY help us out too because we are already saving alot of money so now if she does pay rent...over $200 more will be in our pockets and that will be able to go to the credit card debt which will help us pay them off faster So I'll talk to him and see what he says. Anywho, all is well today. I went out with my friend last night which was well needed and we are going out again this weekend to a reggae club which is awesome seeing as dh and I are both jamaican (dh is british/jamaican)...wish he could've been here with us. But thats all for now.

 

[L.E.]

MzSwizz, I'm glad at least your bleeding is light. I do hope your friend helps with the stress an doesn't add to it. It's good that you want to help out your friend.

Well, last night I didn't get to BD. DH wasn't feeling well. I was not a happy camper about it since I figured of course my temp would be up today, but thankfully it wasn't. So hopefully we can make up for it tonight.

Hi ladies...How are all of you doing. Didn't get a bfp last cycle, but this one has to be it. Don't know if anyone had a REALLY busy holiday. But I did. I am in severe pain with this knee of mine and haven't been able to accomplish what i usually do. I think I have to see a rheumatologist. That sucks so bad. I have two huge knots on my knee which make it difficult to bend, straighten, sleep, walk, squat...and the list goes on. Thing is I have to make a decision really soon about continuing the TTC journey. This knee may require surgery, which will end the mission. The meds I was given at the doctor can not be taken while pregnant because they are harmful to a fetus. So I stopped taking them and now I am suffering. I know I should go to get this taken care of, but man how that sucks to stop TTC. And just when we really got back on the train. :/

Anyhow, I hope all of you had a wonderful holiday season. And that your new year brings many blessings. Will try to prop this knee and get back on if I am not hocked up on a pain pill. I have only until ovulation to take any pain meds...which BTW do a number on my stomach.
