Sticking Together Until We All Get BFP's!!!!

[Jrepp]

Jess, are we supposed to be able to comment on your blog? I might be missing something.

You should be able to comment! I haven't looked at it from an outside view, so I suppose I should be able to. You may have to follow before it will let you post comments though..... I don't know. I'll look at it in a bit.

Ultrasound went well, bad news are both my ovaries are polycystic and that i already ovulate on my left ovary which is good coz i never release egg there except when i was in metformin and clomid years ago, maybe fertilaid really helped me. However, our timing is already off maybe FF is right in giving me CHs on CD11.. Will undergo hormones test (fsh and lh) and induce my ovulation next cycle. Doc prescribed me with folic (which i already take) and glucophage. I knew i have PCOS maybe that's what causing me to have different cycles every month.

When I had my ultrasound the sonograph er said my ovaries looked polycycstic but the blood tests and regular cycles indicated otherwise. Cysts do form on your ovary following ovulation called the corpus luteum, which stimulates the release of progesterone. I believe you are having bloods next cycle which will give you a much bigger picture than the sonogram did.

Thanks, Mary!!! I just showed DH my chart for the first time since last cycle and he was like "baby, you've been going through a lot this month with your cycle, huh?". I just wanted to cry lol

Wholly temp! Your chart is rockin and a Rollin now! I would cry too if my hubby said something like that about my chart......he doesn't even look at them.

Ok now i'm confused.... I just met my friend who is a sonographer i showed her my ultrasound and she told me my ovaries looked very good and im not polycystic same as what the radiologist told me, but my doc told me different that i do have pcos, grrrr... Anyways, at least we got some prescription from the doc that i know will help me with my ovulation. But I'm sure i do have it because i was diagnosed with it before. I just want to let this cycle pass and move on to the next one... Please let the time fly, lol

I hope this cycle moves on quickly for you. The waiting game sucks!

Woo! DH just planned our early anniversary trip! Going on a cruise to the Bahamas in September! Got an ocean view room with a balcony!

How fun!

AFM: waiting for AF to arrive now. I had a dream that I accidentally got pregnant this cycle which has me kind of freaked out. I shouldn't ovulate until after surgery, which should be a natural enough method of birth control. Bah! Other than that, I monitized my you tube account to try and get a little bit of an income over the summer. If you happen to watch my you tube videos don't skip past the ads please LOL. I am feeling a bit better from the antibiotics. I'm on day 2 of 3 and my back doesn't hurt nearly as badly as it did. Hubby bumped my kidney though and I nearly killed him it hurt so bad. 49 days left before we can officially ttc again!

Megan - I just looked at my blog and I think I know what you are talking about. In order to comment on a post, you have to actually click the heading of the post and then scroll down to leave a comment. I think you are just viewing the "home page" not the individual posts.

 

[Wishing1010]

Woo!!! Less than 50 days and you can TTC again!!!! So excited for you!!!!

 

[aidensmommy1]

I just got a huge smile on my face thinking about the summer. I feel alot of luck coming our way! I know, I know, I say this every other cycle lol BUT summertime is just an all around good time of yr and I have a good feeling for all of us! Including myself and I haven't truly had good feelings for myself in a while. It feels good to be more excited again. Jess, Kenna, and I are all going to be trying harder again in about 1 1/2 cycles and everyone else has started or is starting something new and its really exciting to me . I have my fingers crossed for everyone! TONS OF

I think I'm oing today. I just told Kenna that I still thought I may have oed already BUT 2mins after I told her that, I started getting tons and tons of EWCM! I have to wear a panty liner!! So I'm pretty sure ill see a rise in the next day or two. Hopefully I continue to get this beautiful CM once my tube is functioning some day..fx it can happen & soon!! My ovary has been cramping for about 2-3 days. Hopefully it'll release this time so 2 1/2 cycles from now will come quicker for me lol

 

[Jrepp]

I'm just excited to be trying...... I'm looking into things to "help" but just kind of natural stuff. I'm not too terribly into taking things lol. After all the stuff I've taken it's funny that I don't want to take things for pregnancy.

That's exciting if your oing today. It seems kind of early for you, but I'm so off on people's cycles that I don't know.

 

[Wishing1010]

Only thing I'm taking besides my prenatal right now is a folic acid supplement. Just a little extra to help a little bean develop if I actually do get a BFP! So tired of taking everything!

What have you come up with as far as something to help with pg?

 

[Jrepp]

Lol not much! I took (not supposed to take vitamins with estrogen pills, or before surgery) prenatals and folic acid. I was considering the moon cup thing, but Ronny said no and I can't figure out how it works to keep stuff up there. A lot of it is just healthy eating, stress reduction and......well I'm still working on it. I'm not really wanting to try the "fertility boosters" from herbs and whatnot because I think my system is working pretty well so far and I don't want to mess it up. I may go back to the progesterone cream since the re prescribed the suppositories when I finally get a bfp. She did say at my last appointment though that she doesn't think it will do much, but won't hurt me if I do decide to go that route.

lol, I couldn't keep up with anyone last cycle either! Now I keep my self sane by stalking all of you lol. And if I am O'ing today, itd only be about 1day earlier than my "usual" O date. I usually O around cycle day 11 but have ranged from CD9-12 (with the exception of the cycle I oed on CD15 while I was taking the vitex).
I too am not too big on taking new meds...i def would if I needed them! But I like to try and stick to the natural products (enzymes & vitex) and for me, they def seem to help! but I too focus mainly on eating healthy and trying to keep my body healthy both mentally and physically because we all know those factors can potentially affect things :-\.
And I hear u on being excited to try! Dh and I haven't actually talked about O or anything in about 2 months and I haven't used opks or been bding as much during my fertile period...im excited to be able to either really start trying again or raise the funding for IVF. We'll see how everything goes I suppose...I cant wait to be able to have some true hope that I could actually get a bfp. Knowing its not possible sucks pretty bad :-\.
Jess how was the weather in ur area today?

I think you will have no problem carrying your forever baby! Your issues are fixed!!!!

 

[aidensmommy1]

I completely agree with Kenna, Jess! I think your forever baby will be here before you know it! FX your dream was just a sign that you will get a bfp as soon as its possible . I believe you'll get your sticky bean soon regardless..

 

[Jrepp]

It's about to rain.....possibly some flooding. No tornados though.

Some exciting/terrifying news: the stitches on my cervix fell out today while I was in the shower. Scared me sooooo bad I screamed for hubby to come see. The cramping in my uterus is a lot better but my belly button still hurts. I did navigate the waters up there and noticed that the top of my cervix is rock hard and the bottom feels normal. Not too sure about it but not overly concerned either.

 

[Wishing1010]

Ooo one step closer to back to normal!! I wouldn't worry about your cervix, I think it's Just still Healing. FX you feel wayyyy better!

 

[aidensmommy1]

Holy moly Kenna, its 630 and ur chart isn't updated! You must have actually slept in for once :-D lol

AFM, so I guess yest was my body preparing itself to O...my ovary is still going nuts! But I got my famous O dip so I'm pretty certain just from that alone that ill be O'ing today. I know the dip doesn't always mean O but for me, it usually does. FX dh will be in the mood tonight just to give us a bigger shot if my tube happens to open on up! either way, I think we already pretty much covered it but some more swimmers could never hurt lol

I hope all of you ladies are having a great day!

 

[aidensmommy1]

Ongosh Kenna!!!! I am getting waaayy excited for u!!! This is the absolute best rise you've ever had during a non medicated cycle! (that ive seen anyway!) I am jumping up and down!! Lol you have a clear rise happening!! Yay!!!!

 

[Wishing1010]

Hehehe I'm just glad to see some good temps!

 

[Megamegan]

Woohoo nice rise Kenna!

Good morning everyone. I am going to the GYM today! The last 6 months, I have barely worked out at all. I got a Groupon for some fitness classes, and on the days I don't have them, I'm just gonna take my butt to the gym and try to accomplish something. I've been toying with the idea of hiring a personal trainer but every time I think about that, I just convince myself I can do it myself (so much money!!). I am a huge fan of weight lifting and fun exercise like Zumba, but I have the hardest time motivating myself.

SO I am putting this out there: Does anyone want to work out with me?!? We could come up with a schedule and hold ourselves accountable. I thought about starting a thread somewhere, but I think I would only go through with it with you girls because I know you better. Anyone else trying to get motivated to get fit or lose a few pounds? My goal is to exercise daily in some way, build muscle around my injury sites, and get super prepared for my PT test in July (pushups, sit-ups, bike). If you want to join me, share your goals and let's come up with a plan!

 

[mdscpa]

Kenna, that temps keep on rising!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so so happy for you. That long wait to O really is paying off....

AFM, hubby and i had a little misunderstanding last night. We slept without even saying anything to each other. Then he left for work without saying a word..... I hate it so bad... But then he started calling but i don't pick up... He should realize I got hurt, even if you fight at least tell me your leaving already.. Then suddenly he came back leaving his work (to say sorry) for a bit ... I mean a bit more, coz we ended up BD'ing, lol. Maybe a little fight is what we need to keep the relationship more exciting... hahahhaha

Hey guys, haven't really been on in a few days. A lot has gone on with you ladies in the last few days.

Megan I was thinking about starting a workout too. I think dh and I are going to work out together. He already works out. Friday night we had my niece and nephew spend the night. My niece does competitive cheer and I surprised her by getting out in the yard and tumbling with her. Im super sore today and forgot how much I love that post workout soreness!

Jess that would have scared the crap out of me too, a foreign object falling out of me. I bet the relief is incredible!

Kenna lucky duck going on a cruise to the Bahamas!

Mary are you opking this cycle? Or just cm and temp monitoring?

Daphne did you like clomid? How many cycles did you take it?

I started opking yest. Im having some awesome ovary pains like I have had since taking letrozole. Usually around two cycles days ago I would have triggered, so I know my follies are ready just waiting for my lh surge! it would be nice if it could happen today or tomorrow because we are off of work and could get some quality bding in. But thats not reality lol. My body never works on the schedule I want!

My previous doc put me on clomid coz i barely have eggs on my right and nothing on my left ovaries 3 months before my DH had his vacation to see if my body will respond and it did immediately. I produced eggs on both ovaries and always release 2 eggs one on each side every cycle. Unfortunately, never conceive coz DH arrived late for my O. Then stopped it since it's gonna take awhile before DH comes again. Fortunately last year i followed him here after i got a job that's when we started TTC.. Right now my doc only put me on folic and glucophage started taking them today. We are waiting for my progesterone test on CD 21 which is on Friday and also waiting for the next cycle (if we don't conceive this cycle which im sure we didnt coz we havnt had sex before my CD11 O as per FF in preparation for DH's SA, unless i Oed later, hehehe) to have FSH and LH tests then she'll induce my ovulation. I'm not sure yet how she's gonna do it or if she'll put me on clomid as well so we will see.

 

[froggyfrog]

Oh ok, I have heard a lot if bad things about side effects if clomid. My re gave me the choice of clomid or letrozole(femara) and u chose letrozole. The only side effects I have are hot flashes and night sweats. But then I also heard of women not having side effects from clomid. Dh took clomid for 6 months straight and he def had side effects!
