Hi ladies. I've been following and reading, just haven't posted in a few days. Nothing interesting here. I've had some off and on spotting since CD71, then on CD76 I had a light bleed at dinner time... that plus some other stress had me in tears for a while. Then it went away til the next night around midnight I had another bleed. TMI I put in a tampon and went to bed. After I took it out the next morning I haven't had spotting since. I thought for sure I had started my "bad" bleeding, but the last I really saw blood was at bedtime CD77. Today is CD80 and will hopefully be my third full day without any spotting. I had a bit of cramping on CD78 in the evening and thought maybe I was going to O, but I don't think I have. I'm just riding it out for a little while longer to see what happens.

I had my appt with my family doc today. Because my medicine change doesn't have me feeling any different and didn't cause any weight loss at all, he's upping my dose of Metformin and Levothyroxine (thyroid). I'm continuing on the mega dose of Vitamin D every 3rd day, and am supposed to take my iron pill 3x a day. My last Rx was only 1x a day, so I think he messed up when he prescribed it. He's also adding an Rx for Vitamin C which helps you absorb the iron. I go back in 2 months to see if the new doses have helped. He also wants me to cut back on bread and flour to help me lose weight and if I lose 15 lbs, he'll give me a weight loss appt free ($120). So we'll see how it goes. I really like that he's never assumed that I eat all the time or am lazy because I carry a lot of extra weight. He deals a lot with metabolic syndrome and issues that cause our bodies to hang onto the weight. I saw his daughter the last time and she said with the low thyroid, my body will try to store single thing I put into it because the low thyroid slows down my metabolism. So yea, we'll see what happens. Basically he's trying to get me all straightened out so my body works properly. Maybe after I'm not such a mess, my reproductive system will fall in line.

I'll be looking for your hpt results Monday, MzSwizz.

 

[mzswizz]

Glad that now you got a plan. Hoping everything works for you!

 

[Smommy013]

I hope things turn out good for you. You are pretty far in cycle. Are you waiting on AF?

 

[mzswizz]

Yes im going to start testing sunday. Af is due on the 30th

 

[Smommy013]

Lol, I meant L. E. I'm trying to play catch up

 

[mzswizz]

Oh lol yes she is awaiting for either ov to happen and if not then she expects af.

 

[mzswizz]

Well im 9dpo/dpiui today and i couldnt resist the urge to wait to poas I should be 10dpt and usually when i test when its around 10dpt or more, before it automatically looks negative until it dries and then i may or may not see a line. But this time, the minute my urine ran across the test line area, i saw a test line come up and then it kind of faded and then i saw the control line. Its very very faint. I had to inverted the pics in order for you ladies to see the lines. Will be testing again on monday to see if it gets darker or lighter. Really hoping this still isnt the trigger shot. What do you ladies think?

 

[Smommy013]

Very faint, but I can see it on photo two especially! In hoping tom. You get your bright BFP! I'm cramping and moody as everything. I cried and yelled an told DH I wasn't happy, then cried because I said that. I'm getting my fingers crossed for you!

 

[mzswizz]

My fxed for you too! Hoping we get bfps. I have been having this pulled muscle type pain in my navel to my normal abdomen dont know why and then yesterday, all i wanted to do was eat ice (i never eat ice) and then on top of that when i came home, my stomach was soooo sore and sensitive and every time i touched the area where it hurts, i felt a sharp pain and nausea. So i dont know whats going on.

 

[Smommy013]

Maybe it's a sign of your bfp

 

[mzswizz]

im hoping it is. but we shall see.

 

[L.E.]

Smommy.... I rarely ovulate on my own, so I'm waiting on O, and if no O then I will NOT get AF on my own. I will start spotting and bleeding and it won't stop til I take Provera to induce an AF. People automatically think bleeding = period, but it's not the same. A period has a specific purpose and somewhat follows a pattern and usually lasts a week or less. With my "bad" bleeding and spotting I've gone as long as 12 weeks with it, then stopped for maybe 2 weeks then started again.

Good luck to you ladies.

MzSwizz I see the line, but with the trigger shot I don't think it can be trusted just yet. I think a couple more days should tell you if it's a bfp or not.

 

[mzswizz]

exactly what im thinking. that's why im going to wait til monday to compare both tests. Supposedly, it takes 7-10 days for the trigger to be out my system and im currently on the 10th day so we shall see at 12dpt if the line is gone or not.

 

[Smommy013]

Oh, ok, I didnt know that. I'm new to ttc, so still learning everything.

 

[Smommy013]

Any new symptoms any update?

 

[mzswizz]

Its ok thats why i explained because its always fascinating to learn new info.

Well, i caved in and tested and to me it looks like the test is lighter. Will confirm on thursday. I showed my friend the tests in comparison and she says to her, today's test looks darker. She said its more visible now but i'll let you ladies be the judge. Im 10dpo/dpiui today. I have a feeling that what im getting on the hpt is still the trigger unfortunately. I really have no symptoms or anything that jumps out at me that gives me hope. But we shall see what happens thursday. I either get AF or a bfp.

 

[Smommy013]

Is the too the old one? Or is the top the new one?. The bottom is darker at least to me.

 

[mzswizz]

Totally forgot to say which 1 is which Top is yesterday's and bottom is today's

 

[mzswizz]

here's a tweaked pic for better comparison
