Sorry I haven't been on my hubby worked 16 hours yesterday and didn't get home til after midnight last night. I didn't sleep well either so I totally know where your coming from....blahhh! I'm EXHAUSTED...he might have to go to work later today we aren't sure yet but at least they let him sleep a little before he had to go back.....then they were told everything they did yesterday "might not play through" sooooo it was a WASTE of time...I'm furiated and frustrated and TIRED....My big guy gets pics taken today for school I pray they turn out okay I paid 50 bucks for some pics LOL...including his class photo with his friends and everything.

Army.....have you ever been checked for PCOS? I don't wanna scare you but your temps are a bit crazy.....Since you have been charting I would show them to the docs and have you tested to check everything out. Your temps shouldn't fluctuate a whole lot from day to day and you dont have a great "dip" for O and your temps don't go back up right away. My friend Nikki on here has it and her temps resemble yours....but her cycle can go up to 80 or 90 days without an AF....yours isn't to that extent. I've learned a LOT since being on here and learning more from our fertility doc just trying to help you out a little bit But there are meds to force ovulation and the military DOES pay for them such as the Clomid and Femara Thats what I use and as long as your NOT doing insemination its free to use injectibles such as the Lupron and Follistim shots to help you produce more eggies ....anyways just trying to help you and stuff....

Prayers you catch eggy on your own!!!

Well I had to discard my temp for today since I didn't sleep well last night so my crosshairs went away. I haven't been checked for anything. I am having some cramping/pinching pain right above my left hip today. As far as my cycles, they used to be 90 days long when I was a teenager but they have shortened since I miscarried.

I juste went and read about PCOS on webmd.com. Here's for me:
1. Acne-Yes, I have bad acne almost year round no matter what I use to treat it.
2. Weight gain and trouble losing weight-Not an issue for me. I just finished losing all my baby weight from both babies and am in a healthy weight range.
3. Excessive and dark hair growth, especially on face, belly, and back.-Dont think so.
4. Thinning hair on scalp.-Nope.
5. Irregular periods. Less than 9 periods in a year, often with very heavy bleeding. -While my periods are still irregular they are nowhere near as long, painful, or heavy as they were as a teen.
6. Fertility problems- Well we haven't been actively trying a year yet so I don't know if you would say that we have fertility problems.
7. Depression- Yes, I tend to have a lot of issues with depression.

As far as getting checked out for it, we only have 2 more cycles before deployment so I don't know if it'd be worth it. Anyways, here it takes 2-3 weeks to see a doctor because they are always booked.

Waving frantically!!!
Sorry I've been a big poopie head! I've been using my hubby's computer and while it was the old one that I used to use--IT SUCKS!!! We are pretty sure it has a bug that causes it to not act right--nothing that will affect other computers, I personally think it is just the age of the computer..It needs new software and upgrading..I can use my phone but just haven't really wanted to..Sorry..

Andi--I saw on FB that your house inspection went really good!
As far as the light af--is it possible it's implantation?? Just wondering since the way you mention it thought it was possible..

Nicole--It probably wouldn't hurt to have the blood test done or whatever is needed to determine if its PCOS that is causing your ovulation problems..That just stinks I know it.. and with the hubby about to be gone in the next couple of months--it might be better to wait till then..How long will he be gone again??

Tanya--Sorry lil' Emma is being a being such a diva...LOL...It too shall pass hun!!

Big Ladies!!

AFM... Progesterone seems to be helping a lot... Don't like the whole suppository thing but whatever works.. I will be 7 weeks tomorrow... Yay!! another milestone reached!! Actually feeling really good too..Almost too good.. LOL... Just tired by 4 in the afternoon... Jason can't seem to understand why I'm so dang tired..LOL... And I've had a bit of cramping again but that's ok as long as I'm not spotting--I'm not going to stress about that.. I go next week for my u/s to check on progression and hopefully a h/b will be seen.. FX'ed big time!

Love ya ladies!! Of course I spend a lot of time on FB--my games are calling..

I wont see DH for 3 weeks from Nov. 25-December 15th. Then I wont see him for 10 months once he flies back to NY on January 4th.

I would still talk to the doc about it ....the temps are the most important thing and my friend had no other symptoms either...and her prolactin levels are messed up some.

I pray you catch eggy before you have to consult the doc but I was just saying what "might" be a problem that I could tell Lots of love I hope you didn't take that wrong me shoving info on you...it wasn't how I meant it

I hope DH has a safe trip!

I'm going to VA this week to stay with DH on his TDY because I just can't stand to be without him plus we get a free trip through the mountains can't beat that I'll take TONS of pictures

Well I am headed to bed DH has been working FOREVER today as well darn life sometimes....but we are leaving Saturday early morning....so I'm gonna be busy packing tomorrow talk to you ladies soon!

Lol I didn't take it as you being pushy. If not this month I will look into going to the doctor to see what's up. I have always thought that something was wacky with my hormones but really had no proof.

 

[AndreaFlorida]

Aww ...its always covered for a checkup and to check hormone levels and stuff.... and a lotta things are covered thanks to our Tricare LOL...just not the IVF thing...and ya know I never knew til TTC on #3 that I even had an issue...but of course DH has an issue to so that didn't help us!

I'll be praying for you darling COME ON

I am going to hold off testing til the 21st if I can help it. I am supposed to get some more in the mail on Saturday. We will see if I can resit testing for 5 days after they get here. Lol I am at least going to try to hold out til the 18th. Btw, hubby says that if he comes back from deployment with no penis we will do MESA and IVF. So we may be saving up all our tax refunds for the next few years. Btw, that wasn't a random thing either because apparently the terrorists are now purposely shooting men in the groin but we want OUR kids so badly that we'd probably do 2 rounds of IVF before just going other routes if it came to that.

 

[AndreaFlorida]

Yep I know....the airforce covers IVF in that case! Its FREE....lets pray that never happens to anyone but I know its happened a lot recently or the IED's blow up and get them there...its pretty sad. Jason almost got killed a few times when he went last time was the scariest crap and I wish that on NO ONE! Anyways I hope hubby comes home soon I'm ready for bed and hes still at work blahh oh well at least we get a weekend and part of the week together while he's doing his school in VA I'm gonna be bored during the day though because it'll just be me and Trysten in the hotel room all day long... :\ oh well! LOL I'll take TONS of coloring papers and games and books and TOYS so we have SOMETHING to always do!

 

[AndreaFlorida]

I'm sitting here remembering when my 3 and a half year old was TINY man how fast they grow!

 

[waiting2012]

Andi--Damn that AF!! Doesn't that bitch get a hint!

Nicole--I will pray that your hubby comes back with his penis intact! I didn't realize that he'd be gone that LONG! Man... That stinks! I hope though that seeing the doctor will shed some light on whats going on hun!

Keep your fingers crossed ladies..Jason got a job lead through the college with Chevron... The benefits are AWESOME! I was surprised that he brought up one of them being IVF..They pay for 80% of it! Not that I don't expect this bean to stick, but I'm glad he's hoping this is THE job for him so that we can afford to make a baby happen one way or the other! I think that is sooo sweet of him...

Feeling like Flo' is trying to make an appearance..I even felt little gushes last night--just lots of creamy yellow cm.. I keep telling myself that is normal.. But Jason didn't understand why I wasn't in the mood...UMMMM.. DUHH.... Crampy+Preggo+excessive CM does not put a girl in the mood.....

Well..Going to venture to my FB games..hee hee... LOL..

 

[waiting2012]

Holy Smack Your Granny! 7 Weeks....Wahoo!

Ok, enough of my happy dance...LOL

 

[armymama2012]

Back to being confused again. I now have the start to the second LH surge this month. I'm thinking I failed to ovulate again 7days ago. Been having the pinching sensation for 2 day now and got a +OPK an hour ago. Oh well, at least we have BD'd the last 3 night and I guess we will for another 3 nights. If this keeps going we will be BDing every day until AF arrives! Argh...is there anything I can do to end this confusion?

 

[AndreaFlorida]

Are you taking your temp every morning before getting out of bed? SAME time every single day? If not I still say it is possible PCOS that can surge you over and over again without O'ing until FINALLY you might eventually O....I really hope ya get it all figured out soon!

Lots of love!!

Steph HAPPY 7 WEEKS YAY!!

Yes. The times may vary by as much as a half hour but I always take my temp before even sitting up in bed. DH isnt sure if he wants to me to go to the doctor because he thinks it is God's will for us to just wait it out. I will talk it over with him more tonight.

 

[AndreaFlorida]

I duno....sometimes things could be more "serious" inside if they do lap like I had no idea all the issues I had...and thankfully he got them out so my periods wouldn't be as bad like my endo and how my tubes were stuck to my uterus and my ovaries was terrible but he fixed it as much as possible. I wish ya the best of luck and I'll be praying for ya!

 

[armymama2012]

Well I was able to keep my temp for today and FF gave me my crosshairs back! Now says today is 5 DPO. I'm still on for testing on the 21st!

 

[AndreaFlorida]

Yay for crosshairs....we are almost to Atlanta I'm EXHAUSTED already and only been in the car for about 4ish hours...blah!

 

[armymama2012]

Af isn't due for a week but am getting AF-like cramps. Sign?

 

[AndreaFlorida]

Maybe ya never can tell I get those off and on my whole cycle....

So I thought my AF was almost done and NOPE cramped the whole way up here and found out I was gooshing more gahhh I just want her to go away stupid LOL
