started provera today!

[ashrc66]

Oh goodness, it's been a busy couple days. Lots of homework due before Turkey Day I have been off provera since Friday just waiting on AF to arrive.

ByHisGrace: I am currently working towards my BSN with hopes of going to get my CRNA but I really want my OB/PEDS clinical to get here to see if that is where I would like to go. I have always seen myself there but you never know till you try it out.

I hope everyone else is doing well!!! Sounds like we all have lots of support!

Some great ways to reduce the carb intake is to eat meats and eggs.

Like for breakfast I'd do two eggs over easy...
and this low cal low carb bread from walmart (5 net carbs)
Or The low carb bread with cheese and eggs and bacon (only carbs from the bread in that)

Then for lunch chicken and veggies, or fish and veggies, or low carb tortillas with cheese, ground beef, tomatoes, etc

Dinner you could do steaks, salmon

And when I needed sugar I'd go for fruits..
Also I love chocolate so getting onto netrition.com and ordering knock off chocolate chips/ pancake mix etc all low carb was a must..
I need to do it again but my life is run by chocolate right now..

Just so you know
When you look for wheat, or low carb food etc..you do not count sugar alcohol or dietary fiber...

So if you order LC pasta and its 40 carbs
and 22 are dietary fiber
and 3 are sugar alcohol
15 are Carbs
Most people counting carbs use this method.. changed my life drastically when I did it just takes so much effort...

Rachel- thanks for the info on the low carb diet and everything, I'll look into it. I have an ultrasound tomorrow, so I guess I'll find out if it has something to do with my lining or not. It's been two weeks since my last pill, so the withdraw "period" should have happened by now I think I conceived my son with clomid, so it definitely does work!! The twins I lost were natural.

Byhisgrace, I think the plan is to wait a couple more weeks, then do another round of the provera. I hate waiting soooooo much!!!! I have my bachelors. What type of nursing do you want to do?

Lyn, thanks for the sweet wishes as baby dust to you too!!!

Msw454: I hope your appointment goes well for you!!! Let us know on how everything turns out. I would say two weeks since your last pill is an awful long time..they will probably put you on another round Good Luck!

 

[Msw454]

I'm back from my us. The dr said my lining didn't look like ashermans or scarring, which is what I've been super worried about. So I'm doing another round of provera, and if it doesn't work I'll have an HSG to look for scarring more closely. Fx it works this time! I'm sick of taking it!!!!

 

[ashrc66]

Fingers Crossed!!! Good Luck

 

[lynn1216]

thats good news right msw? Hopefully this round works!

No positive opk yet for me and its CD 13.. im disappointed ! but maybe if i can show my obgyn that im not ovulating shell prescribe clomid
i would really like to concieve naturally tho!

Do you normally ovulate before cd 13? That's still pretty early, don't give up yet! However, if you do end up on clomid that's ok too! I used it with my son and it worked great. I'm actually excited for when my doc will prescribe it again. He's making me wait two cycles from the mc to give my body time to heal I guess. But obviously I'm having a hard time getting these cycles going lol.

Does she not want to do blood work to see if your ovulating?

Hello Ladies,

So I made it through the last few days of school before Thanksgiving Break!!!! AF didn’t show up during test and I am still waiting for her to show, took last pill on Saturday. Praying this works!!!!

Ashrc66- Yes we do have lots of support so glad I joined Bnb!!

MSW454-Ah the waiting game there sure is a lot of that in TTC! Glad to hear u/s went well lets pray Provera works this time!!!! I feel like I am being called to Pedi oncology. I am working on setting up some job shadows over Christmas Break since my College doesn’t offer any clinical time in that area. I am currently working on my associates but playing with the idea of switching into my colleges bachelor program…we will see what God has in His plan for me!

Lynn-Don’t know much about the whole OPK thing and all but wishing you lots of ovulation dust!!!!!

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Ladies!!!!

Blessings & Babydust,

 

[lynn1216]

Everyone have a Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy good family & good food!!

Ps: my sister sent me this dysfunctional family bingo board! I thought it was too funny! I think I might get a cover all bingo tomorrow

 

[ByHisGrace08]

Hi Lynn- Your Bingo card made me laugh!!! This is the first time in six years that I haven't gone to my in-laws for Thanksgiving but if I did I would have been able to cover all spots and some of them twice!!!! I had the best Thanksgiving ever in my own home surrounded by family and friends that I love!!! I hope you had an awesome Thanksgiving as well!!!

Still waiting for AF...

Blessings & Babydust,

 

[lynn1216]

I'm glad you had a great thanksgiving!!
Why are in laws so terrible to get along with?! Like ugh I can't stand mine sometimes !

 

[ByHisGrace08]

I don't know why inlaws have to be so tough to get along with but after silently suffering for five years my husband has slowly been putting more space between his family and us phew!!! My husband is Lebanese so family and always being together is a big deal/cultural thing for them. So while we love them we love them from a distance until they can be more...normal for lack of a better word!!! Just glad we are learning how to put up boundaries before we have kids.

Still waiting for AF....don't think it is going to happen!

Blessings & Babydust,

 

[lynn1216]

im sorry grace... Maybe call ur doctor and figure it out.

I dont think im going to ovulate, im down to like 3 opks and they get dark to where I think im going to O but then they get light. its very disappointing

 

[Sophie2]

Lynn im sorry i havent ovulated i hope u do soon hun it sucks when ur so positive about something but al u have is negatives i will keep u n my prayers hun and dont give up hun ur body is still figuring out whats what

byhisgrace i hear u about the INLAWS my MIL is one of the sweetest women i know but once her son is around its like i get put on the back burner i try to talk to oh about it but he dont see the way his family acts wth me i feel like im trying to fit in with them and i dont .... its something thats been effcting our relatinship but nothing major atleast not now but ive told him i would not ever leave our bay alone with his parents just wont lol

i know theres more ladies here im sorry if i missed ya im still tryna get eveything sorted on everyones stories =) baby dust all

 

[ByHisGrace08]

Ahhhhh I got my AF

So weird to be happy about it but I am

I was just getting ready to call Dr. office and went to bathroom and there it was!! TMI im sorry! Right now it is very light but having some cramping so hoping it picks up and "cleans house"! I am so happy it is ridiculous!!

Now I want to start tracking my cycles-so today is Cd 1 right? Should I BBT or OPK. Can anyone give me the inside scoop on them? I know the plan is to let me go 60 days without a period before I have to take Provera again but want to see what my body is up to!

Lynn-So sorry the ovulation isn't going well!

Sophie-Welcome!!!! And yes families can be so hard!

Blessings & Baby Dust,

 

[Sophie2]

woooooooooooo hooooooooo i always get excited when AF shows her ugly face lol thanks for the warm welcome too btw

BBt wasnt too bad it seem a little confusing for me as i would wake up an hr or so earlier then i should and would get up to use the restroom so when it was time for me to actually get up get up my body already had a temp so if u are gonna go with BBT then leave the thermometer right by the night stand so this way the moment your eyes open you can take ur temp =) thats how i started to do mines cuz it was easier and also to try and take it at the same time everyday if not just make sure u write down any difference like if u dont temp a certain day or u forgot to do it in the morning so atleast ur aware of the changes and all =)

 

[lynn1216]

Woot woot welcome Sophie!
I really hope its not cancer Ill be praying for you! when do you get ur scrape done?
Im going to try to get my dr to prescribe clomid!

byhisgrace! yay! I know what you mean ! when af comes its like well at least SOMETHING is going on!
and yup! its CD1

Im on CD 19 and no ovulation in sight. sighhhh
