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

[mzswizz]

L.E. we both might be in the same boat with no ov this cycle. And my temps vary depending on what time I take them. If its early in the morning, my temp is usually super low and if its later on in the morning, my temps are around the 97s. IRL, the blue dye has a faint positive but of course I know its an evap that's why I took a pink dye also. I just wanted to see a positive for once Im pretty sure im not pregnant though because it don't look like I o'd. If you look at my other charts..you would see that my temps are normally in the 97s-98s range and this chart is 96s-97s range. And my other charts look a little more stable than this one because this one looks like it just wants to go up and down every day Im still have the sharp pain and im no longer spotting. Don't know why I was spotting to begin with but I guess sometimes our bodies are just random. I cant wait until my doc appt already.

 

[mzswizz]

AF is finally here!! I jump started it So this was a 25 day, anon ovulatory cycle. Cant wait for the docs.

 

[L.E.]

Hopefully it's a short AF for you and the witch doesn't drag it out.

As expected, my cross-hairs are gone. Blah. Oh well. CD46 and no O. No spotting either, so maybe my body hasn't given up yet. The first time I O'd was CD51, so I can't give up yet (plus DS was about CD70). Unless I have prolonged spotting/bleeding I'm just going to wait it out.

 

[mzswizz]

L.E. im hoping you ov this cycle. Im ready to see a bfp for you. It just sucks you have to wait so long just to ov. The things our bodies do.

AFM, well actually its cd27 Flow didn't start yet. Thought I jumpstarted it because it was more brown than usual and it had a few clots (or what I thought were clots) but it only happened at that point of time. And now its right back to on and off spotting. So once again, I haven't started my actual flow yet Oh well, atleast I got my doc appt. tomorrow at 9:40am so she can see whats going on. Hopefully, she can jumpstart my AF and then we work from there because this on and off spotting is just a pain and a waste of pads. Well, I have my 2nd job interview on Friday @ 2:15pm. And I go back to work at my job on the 27th. So if I get this job, seeing as both of them are short hour jobs, I can work both. And DH will be home in 12 days yay So im happy for that. Hoping I get something to help with the ovulation. And through researched, learned that if you don't ovulate a cycle, it can cause spotting etc. So that's probably whats going on. I took my temp at 8:15am instead of 7am but I used a temp adjuster to adjust the temp. My actual temp is 97.33 and the adjusted temp put me at 97.06 so I used that one. And from comparing my cycles...this cycle has the lowest temps out of all cycles. So I don't know what went wrong this cycle but I sure want to find out. Hopefully I will tomorrow. Will keep you ladies updated.

msswizz sorry af got you

le hope you o this cycle

has anyone heard from fngers

here is some updated photos of my not so little baby I cant believe he is already going on 5 months

 

[mzswizz]

Stacey-actually still spotting so AF is just dragging out. Not a full flow yet. And wow 5 months?! Where has the time gone? He is such a cutie.

AFM, I had my doc appt. today and she has diagnosed me with PCOS. I am not ovulating and she has referred me to the gynecologist. She said that I might have to see a fertility specialist. So as of right now, they labeled me infertile until further notice/help.

 

[staceyj83]

I know it goes by so fast Thank you

I'm sorry to hear that hun

 

[mzswizz]

Stacey-Thanks and he'll be 1 quicker than we know it.

I hope fngrs is doing fine.

AFM, cd29 and spotting. I don't know if I should call this AF or what because one minute its red and flow and the next minute I go to the bathroom its brown and its on and off so its very confusing so im just going to put it as spotting on this same cycle. I woke up late this morning but my temp was only 97.41 so not a big difference really. It looks like im not going to ovulate this cycle and whatever this is...is just going to drag itself out. My gynecologist appt. is on Sept. 4th at 9am. I wish it was a little earlier than that but that's the earliest day and time they can book me inside the Navy hospital here. All my docs are inside that one hospital which is great for me. Well, from seeing my doc yesterday, I was a little down because I found out my previous docs were nothing but scam artist She told me I have PCOS and since I am ttc...they should've NEVER put me on birth control. My former docs put me on birth control because they said it will help regulate my cycles because it will help remove my ovarian cysts. She told me that the birth control doesn't remove the cysts, all it does it prevent painful AFs when you have PCOS So I pretty much wasted time AND money on birth control for no apparent reason But now im just happy that these docs don't benefit from the money from our insurance. They get paid based on their rank (active duty Naval officers etc). So they have nothing to gain so they are very helpful. She gave me all the information I need and als ogave me an account to talk to her about the PCOS online etc and what I can do to help myself increase my chances to get pregnant. She is really helping me because she is determined for me to get pregnant so im thankful for that. I've never gotten this far before and FINALLY I know what's going on with me and what I need to do in order to conceive. So we shall see what Sept. 4th holds.

 

[L.E.]

Stacey- he's a cutie and getting so big! I love the chubby cheeks and legs.

I actually heard back from Fngrs a couple weeks ago but only realized the other day. So as of her message back to me on August 1st, everything was fine and she was 3 months along and they were moving. So I think all is well with her.

MzSwizz, I bet you're feeling like I was... Stinks to have PCOS but good to finally know what the issue is. Can I do an "I told you so" about the birth control? I don't blame you because you just trusted your doctors, but having been there and done that, I knew it wasn't helpful. The good thing is that doctors are actually pretty good at dealing with PCOS. It's when they don't know what the problem is where they shove BC down our throats. If your spotting keeps on going, I bet you can get the doc to start you on provera for a fresh cycle.

Nothing new here. Having some financial stress right now, but it's just a bump and we'll be over it soon.

 

[mzswizz]

L.E. yes I kind of had a feeling that the BC was just a way to keep me away because they didn't know what they were doing. But im glad now I have the docs to help out. Im glad I have you ladies here to help. How long do you think I should wait before calling my doc about the spotting? Because I told my doc that I have been spotting for 4-5 days now but she didn't really know what was the cause. That's why im being referred to the gynecologist. Hopefully, your financial situation will get beeter for you. I know the feeling though.

AFM, cd30 today and you already know..Im still have a random spotting/bleeding cycle. Hoping this doesn't continue on for weeks. Im hoping it atleast stops by the time I get to my gynecologist appt in 3 weeks but we shall see. Thinking about just changing to tampons instead of keep wasting good pads...or maybe panty liners Don't know yet. Well I only have 4 more modules to go before I have completed the medical coding and billing program Im getting closer and closer to achieving my goal. Also, tomorrow I get to pick up my new dog She got spayed yesterday so she has to be in their care for 48 hours before they can release her to me just to make sure she is recovering fine. Tomorrow morning, Im going to the store to buy her pet bed, the kennel, collar and leash, dog bowls, etc. Im super excited cant wait. DH will be home next Friday so im happy. Also, cant wait for my doc appt. So just pretty much got to wait for everything

 

[L.E.]

Wow it sounds like you have a lot of good things going right now, MzSwizz!!

If you want to wait it out the 3 weeks you surely can do that, but since you're already on day 8, it's probably going to stick around- at least if it were me it would be. For me, the spotting is from not ovulating. If the doc will let you do the 5 day dosage of Provera right away, then you would be starting full-blown AF about the time DH gets back, so that's a consideration too. I don't know if you've ever used it or not, or exactly what your AFs are like, but Provera AFs are usually heavy for me- at least a couple days of really heavy, but I'm sure everyone's different. I've waited it out many many times with spotting, and mine never went away on it's own once I was over the week mark. Or if it did go away after a few weeks of spotting, it would come back again too soon.

 

[mzswizz]

Thanks L.E. for the help. Im going to just wait it out until my appt. so DH will be with me and we had our few dtd moments with the little spotting I have. Normally, my AFs are rather heavy with clots so Provera will just most likely give me a normal AF which is heavy Im hoping they will start me on Provera because I know that this spotting isn't going to stop anytime soon.

 

[staceyj83]

Thanks le so do I oh my happy you have heard from her

Msswizz wow way to go with school

Seems like nicholas weight gain has topped off he only put on 4oz from his last app and went from eat eatting 34oz a day down to 26oz which the doctor says is fine as long as he doesn't start losing any of it we have had the go a head to start him on baby food but I'm waiting I don't think he is ready yet

 

[mzswizz]

Thanks Stacey! And awww he is growing so fast.

AFM, today is cd32. The spotting has subsided so im hoping that means my body is TRYING to gear up for ov again. It's a little pinkish but it was there only once when I wiped so it looks like its on its way out Today is my 2nd job interview and I will be leaving in the next hour or so. Sooo I have decided to pamper myself a little today. I have went to the nail salon and had my eyebrows waxed..which was well needed And I might go back after the interview to go get a pedicure because its just something about the mini massages that make you feel so much better DH will be home next Friday so Im happy about that. After he comes home, in the following week or so is my apt And DH is coming with me so atleast he will have all the info. Who knows..they might just ask him to do a semen analysis. Im just ready for the process to begin. Im hoping to atleast get pregnant before he goes on deployment next year. That's the goal. So just occupying my time until then. Plus, here a couple pics of Ellie my new dog!

 

[staceyj83]

I know its late but gl and she is cute

 

[L.E.]

How'd the interview go, MzSwizz? DS and I agree that your dog is cute!

Stacey- We didn't start trying cereal with DS til 5 months and he didn't like it so we waited til 6 months. He never was a big fan of the cereal or baby food for that matter. It wasn't too long til he got table food lol. I'm thinking 7 or 8 months old.

 

[mzswizz]

Stacey-Thanks! She is such a sweetheart too...like a true lady

L.E.-Thanks. Fell in love the minute I saw her. And the interview went good. Got to wait until Sunday to see if I have the job or not.

AFM, im cd33 today and spotting has went away completely My temps are still in normal range so I wonder if my body is going to try and ov again If it does..im hoping its around the time dh comes back from detachment. I had my 2nd job interview yesterday and it went pretty good. I will know if I have the job by Sunday. Im also going to apply to a job that's around 25-30 mins away. Even though its a drive, if it pays better and I get more hours...then the drive wouldn't matter to me. Nothing really to report also. Ellie is doing wonderful here and she is a very good listener etc. Glad I was able to get here Well that's it for now.
