Im still holding on to hope for you megan!

Omfg! My brother (who is sick) is having ANOTHER baby! His gf just text me saying "yep. Def positive. Took a test" and she isn't even supposed to have anymore because of the damage from the last birth 5 1/2 MONTHS AGO! Even before mt brother was sick, they already were living in pretty much a camper with 4 kids (2 other kids that dont live with them full time as well) and now she is pregnant again! She hasn't had AF in 4 1/2 months so she's probably about 3 -4 months along already and my brother cant even talk. Like omgoshh! I just can't believe all this. This is the last thing they/my family needs! We are all already going through so much struggle trying to take care of my brother and the kids they already have! Now another one! He was supposed to get his balls snipped the week he got sick too (even tho that probably would have been too late). Idk if she's going to choose adoption or what but they can't afford another baby let alone take care of one. I am in tears right now. Now EVERY person im close to that I was pregnant with is now pregnant together again, except for me. But in this case that doesn't even get to me! Its the fact that my moms losing her house and already pays for all of their stuff and is losing her house because of it, she cant afford another baby to help feed!! My emotions are running wild. I just had to vent real quick. I cant believe this is happening!!!!! My brother may never be able to speak/be the same again and we get this news on top of it! They literally have NOTHING and were all living in a big camper before he got sick and that's where they call "home" when he doesn't need running water close by! Ugh its so sad! She said they literally have had sex ONE time since they had my 5 month old nephew and of course she gets knocked up that ONE time! And the same with their last baby. You would think if they didn't want more, they'd use protection!!! She said to me yest "I will kill myself if I am pregnant again". She didn't mean it literally but she didn't want to be pregnant so badly that she avoided taking a test this whole time because of denial. Ugh. Its just one thing after another for this family lately! . I just hope she makes the right decision and gives that baby a better home then she can give right now. And on top of worrying about the baby, I'm worried about her bcuz I was there when she gave birth last time and they F*ED up her uterus badd and they said itd be dangerous for her to give birth again and she doesn't want a c-section buy I dont think she will have a choice. Besides all the reasons why this is a horrible thing to happen right now, it feels like my heart is being torn out. Its like WHOS NEXT?! who else out of the few women I talk to are going to accidentally get knocked up while I'm struggling like this. Its like a huge slap in the face. Grrr. I'm a wreck. This post is all over the place because my head/heart's going all over the place... Alls I can say is WORST TIMING POSSIBLE ALL AROUND!!!!

Omg....that's just...wow. I cannot believe that. Absolutely insane, Mary!!!! I am just at a loss for words. I am very sorry your family is having to go through this on top of everything else. I hope and pray that she turns her life around and looks at how to provide better for your brother and their children. She needs to step up to the plate and do better for everyone.

Just showed my chart to DH and explained it all to him. He's so cute. I felt like since he's waiting for an answer too, maybe he would like to know why I'm not sure when to expect my period. He said it's not TMI and it's interesting. Yeah!! That makes me happy hahaha.

That is so cute!!!! FX FX FX!

 

[Wishing1010]

Thank you for your interpretation, Mary!!! I think maybe I could have progesterone issues without meds, which is why my temp won't stay up if I have in fact O'ed. Just ready for the uncertainty to stop! lol

 

[aidensmommy1]

Ooo wishing another spike right after u bd'ed! FX!!!!!

 

[aidensmommy1]

So yeah I don't think that was an actual line earlier because there was a weird sideways line on the test too. Anyway, so if I O'd on CD15, I only BD'd on CD13 (3 times though lol) so... could definitely have caught the egg but I probably should have kept going a couple more days... but yeah I can see that's a bigger shift so it's a possibility. I DID get a random blob of EWCM that day which was weird. So that would mean Saturday would have been 11dpo, and that's when the spotting started. That would put today at 13dpo, and that would put tomorrow as my most likely due date for AF. So with this scenario, it would be VERY unusual that I spotted for 3 days before my period- actually that kinda worries me- and if it was IB, I should be getting a positive test like really soon. All I know is, if my temp is still low tomorrow and no AF, I'm going to be really confused!! I truly feel like she is coming at any moment but I have been checking all day and nothing besides a couple brown spots when I wipe. I have gotten like suuuuper light crampy feelings and I think that usually happens the day before AF, so I expect her tomorrow.

FF says I'm 12 dpo today but I'm not really believing that.

Never again will I not temp the first half of a cycle.

Megan, I actually remember u getting that glob of EWCM! It was the day I said it looked like u could potentially be O'ing so CD15 could def be right on and if u bded 3 times on CD13 u def still have a chance! If there was an eggy to be caught this cycle, I do believe there would have been at least some spermies up there waiting and it only takes 1 FX sooo tight for u!!

Mary that is insane, I'm sorry to hear the news. It just does not even remotely make sense. I hope they figure things out.


My cramps are killer and AF started this morning as predicted. I am not excited. I think I O'd on CD15 this time. Well time to start looking forward, for real now. I have my ultrasound on Thursday, then I'm going to reschedule my HSG for next Thursday because my schedule is more open and now that my cycle didn't start til today, it means Thursday will still be within the 7-10 day window. Then after the HSG hopefully I'm not too sore and we can get to work BDing, and I'm hoping to schedule DH's SA for the next day, Friday. Maybe by the time I O this cycle, we'll get his SA results and hopefully it will be good news and we'll feel good about this cycle.

Just watched your video Jess! I liked it It's nice to see someone else talking about all this stuff because we hardly ever say it out loud in real life haha.

 

[Wishing1010]

I'm sorry about the witch Megan. But glad you are going to get some answers this cycle!!!

Im sorry AF got u but I do have the ABSOLUTE BEST FEELING IN THE WORLD FOR YOU THIS CYCLE! I seriously have butterflies thinking about it! Lol I have a feeling an hsg is just what u need! Especially since u came off BCP, my surgeon told me alot of times women will get pregnant after an hsg because birth control and other factors that can stop O can "clog ur tubes" or so to speak because the tubes arent doing their duty when there's no eggy passing through so they aren't used as much while on the bcp and not oing, u get what I mean? And if it doesn't happen this cycle, dont get discouraged but I can feel it in my bones that you will benefit from that extra 25% chance for the cycle OF the hsg is preformed and the 2 cycles following ur hsg Eeeek! I have everything crossed that dh gets GREAT SA results and that'll def be a good reason to celebrate and get hopeful! just remember how hard uve already come and dont give up if it doesn't happen the first cycle! There's actually great stats and stuff on the cycles of & after an hsg on google. I googled like crazy before mine lol and I truly believe that if the dye would have pushed ALL the way through, I do think id be pregnant by now. Of course there's no way of knowing but those are my feelings. I'm sorry I'm not trying to get u overly pumped up but bcuz I know ur info and stuff, I just have a great feeling :-D I myself am so pumped up that I'm shaking! Lol Ok, calm down Mary, its only cycle day 1 for her, at least wait until her hsg is done to start shaking about it! LoL. I'm in a silly/happy mood this a.m despite everything that's going on. Maybe its because its the first day without a headache in about 9-10 days!!! Yay headaches gone! Megan, I wish u all the best this cycle! I cant wait for test time to come! Also, I read some women get a little bit of delayed O or early O after their hsg (def not all but I've seen many posts about it, especially delayed O tho). I wanted u to be aware of that so u and dh can bd a couple days past ur expected O day to cover all basis. FX FX FX FX!!!

I'm excited for this month all around. Kenna will be starting vitex if no bfp, I'm on my 2nd cycle of the enzymes (getting close!!) and idk its just beautiful out and I have great feelings through my body! I feel like a lot of good things are going to happen! (pregnancy related and NON pregnancy related, I feel good things coming) lol I sound dumb. Alright I'm sorry for the book as always, better get aiden to school. I'm always almost late because I type a book before I bring him to school everyday LOL.
Have a great day ladies!

Again, so sorry the really showed up........ Hopefully your tests will show good results.

AFM, DH is so anxious about his SA tomorrow, i'll also get my result of the tests they made last thursday hopefully they'll give us some answers. CD21 they also scheduled me for progesterone test. And if we didn't succeed this cycle i'll have my HSG as well next cycle.

 

[Megamegan]

Mary- I WISH I had as much enthusiasm as you, girl! Lol. You're so sweet, this board wouldn't be the same without you. But I totally agree, I feel the same way about my tubes probably not being super clear since they haven't been used since I was 18 years old, lol. My gut tells me they will do the test and tell me everything looks fine, but that it will clear the tubes of any anti-fertile fluid that might not be visible on the x-ray. Maybe I have that feeling because I have had SO many tests for different things in my life and I've always gotten "yep, you're healthy", except for my leg injury but that's an injury and not a health thing. I'm absolutely hopeful and honestly I feel better about getting pregnant in the next 3 months or so because that will result in a warmer-weather baby. Less risk of driving to the hospital in the snow, and more sunshine to keep my mood up after birth (I worry about postpartum depression...). So yeah. Good feelings.

Msd- I hope you get all clear results from your tests! My hope is that all of us have perfect numbers and we get HSG's and get pregnant the next cycle. Lol. Well my hope is just that we would get pregnant SOME how, but I think doing these tests will make us feel better about it I think it's normal for men to be anxious about a SA, I know mine will be, he already told me he won't do it this week because he'll be too stressed from work (Memorial day weekend, busy time for car sales- he is a finance manager). So yeah, at this point I just hope my DH gets through the test lol... one step at a time!

Mdscpa, it kinda looks like u may O a little earlier and really do have a healthier LP. I feel like u may get CH's tomorrow because so far looking at ur temps this cycle compared to the few pre o temps u had last cycle, it looks like u started temping a couple days after O happened last cycle. That may be ur answer right there is that u just need to BD earlier. I tend to O early so I read a study and it said as long as its 7 days after the start of AF, the egg would be mature and I truly think CD 8 or 9 was ur O date last cycle and that would make ur LP 13-14 days long. We'll see if FF agrees tomorrow but going by both ur signs and ur pattern so far, its looking like ur 2dpo. Did u already guess this? I'm sorry if u did and I just explained all that lol. But this is good news, this means u have a very healthy LP! i hope everything goes AMAZING with dhs SA!

 

[aidensmommy1]

Megan, I believe ur HSG results will be JUST FINE as well! when I say "clogged" I dont mean blocked but as u said, I mean "unwanted fluids and such" that can make it hard for sperm to do their job! Lol I'm very excited!

Actually i was thinking the same after seeing two temps going up that maybe i already O'ed, seeing the partial ferning then watery CM the next day then the other symptoms. But i don't know yet coz usually i'll have days of watery/EWCM during my fertile window not just a day of watery CM and most of the time it's a lot. So, still hoping i haven't o'ed yet, lol. And, if i really O early every cycle maybe me and DH need to talk about starting our BD early as well, the thing is we don't like it when i still have spotting kinda messy if you know what i mean. I also stopped taking the medicines because even though it gave me cramps on my left like im producing eggs there again i don't like how it made my spotting/period/spotting very long. Hopefully, next cycle i'm back to have 4-5 days period so we can bd the day after just to catch the early O.

 

[Jrepp]

Sorry Megan! I hope you get some answers quickly though.

 

[froggyfrog]

I bet yalls sa will be great, and if there is a problem they have different treatments to improve sperm counts. My dh has been through the ringer with trying to get his count up. SAs are no big deal to him now because he has had them so much. I think that first initial one is nerve wracking for them, but it will all be fine!

 

[froggyfrog]

Sorry megan about af!
