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

[aidensmommy1]

Jess, It's hard to believe you've had a worse day today than previous days... must be just awful! Could the spotting be caused by leftover tissue from the surgery? Would your doctor maybe have a better answer via a phone call?

I have an appointment scheduled for next week already for my shots. I'll ask her then. Since being on lunch my left ovary has been giving me O pains, but the OPK I took when I got home was negative. This is all just so frustrating! I knew exactly what my body was going to do and when and now I have no idea. UGH!

Mary happy birthday!!!

Kenna I like your new spongebob

jess I know you have probably said it but what exactly is that you do? It sounds like a rough job! And like megan said maybe you could call your doc??

I had a little pressure today in my pelvic area, I have had it before so im trying not to look into it, but its way too tough not to think everything has potential of being a symptom. ...

I am a paraprofessional (teachers aide) in a classroom for students with emotional disabilities. They are all angry and/or throw major tantrums. Today one of the students was pretending his pencil was his penis and pretending to pee all over the classroom and then ran down the hall screaming into all of the other classrooms. When I finally caught him I had to carry him back into the classroom. Anther student had a 45 minute screaming at the top of his lungs fit because he didn't get to get on the computer until he finished writing one sentence. A third student used some plastic math triangles as wolverine claws, scratched me with them and then punched me in the arm. I restrained him and carried him into a room we call the safe place where they can calm down and he punched me repeatedly in the back, kicked me and then threw a chair at me. Another of the paras came in and took over and called security. A different student than the first three pitched a fit because the cafeteria ran out of hot dogs so his choices were a quesadilla, burrito or ham and cheese sandwich. The kid threw his milk down, causing it to explode all over the lunchroom.

RIDICULOUS!!!!

^ That's really sad. But thank God for people like you!


I was able to get an appointment with my OB tomorrow. (which is crazy because she is usaully booked out a few weeks) I will be between 6-8 DPO... I think. Anyway... What is the chance of a blood test being accurate?

there's a decent chance it could pick up but there's also a decent chance u hadn't even implanted yet so if comes out neg, just remember, its not over til the witch shows!

 

[aidensmommy1]

Thank you Kenna.... I still wish for your temp to rise tomorrow might be a wonderful surprise. Also if AF does arrive, i hope it won't be too painful.. I'm sad mine dropped today but glad that i reached 10days LP already without any spotting whatsoever. Hopefully, that is a sign.... If my temp stayed elevated for the next 2-3 days I might give in and test on thursday/friday before going to the hospital for my progesterone test result....

Edited: last 3 cycles i spotted 5 days before AF showed up on the 6th day.

good luck! I bet its because u stopped all the meds for a bit this cycle is ur reason behind not spotting . Its def not a bad thing!

U may even be at a 13 day LP right now. I still see a CD11 o pattern for u. It may just be me though. Just remember FF isn't always right so id def still try out early bding for next cycle, just incase, although im sure ull o a lil later with the new meds. Good luck! Ive been watching ur chart everyday just hoping im wrong about the O date this cycle! BUT if I am correct, that'd be ur reason as to why u haven't gotten a bfp yet, which is good news since it shows u have nothing wrong, u just weren't always making ur fertile window, well thats IF cd11 O is right. Good luck!!!

I had a temp dip right back down below my temp from 2 days ago but I woke alot last night plus took my temp 30mins earlier (I dont like to use adjusters) I may just discard the high temp from yest because I don't like the looks of single temps being that much higher than the rest lol

I am so confused. I started spotting yesterday (12DPO) but I had all of 1 spot of blood all day on my pad. I had 2 tsp of blood at night, and maybe 2 -3 more spots on my pad till now ( Sorry TMI). Day 2 and total flow not enough to fill a pad yet? I am not even cramping too much! I tested yesterday and it was BFN What do you ladies think?

have u started any meds? Maybe ur just barely implanting? If ur AF doesn't pick up, id test again in 2 days with frer. My afs personally turned EXTREMELY light the past few months...like so light that ots almost like I spot all AF so I always take a cheap test after AF to make sure im not really pregnant. U may just be having an occasional light AF. Who knows really! Lol this darn ttc thing is sooo confusing! It can be from so many dif things! But id def test if AF doesn't pick back up tomorrow or the day after

I'm actually considering the fact that i have O'ed on CD11 making me 13dpo today, that's why I'm a bit happy knowing that's a good LP if the witch suddenly arrive tomorrow. I also thought that not having any spotting might be due to stopping the medicines early this cycle. I will see in the next 2 days what will be my temps and if no witch is around I will take CD14 as my O date..... Also looking at CD16 making me more confused, if i never had the ultrasound on CD14 i might take CD17 as my O.....

I have been lurking at your chart everyday as well, hehehhehe...... Those jump and dive of your temps from yesterday looks crazy.....

 

[sn0wbunnie]

Hi snowbunnie... I would say fairly unlikely to get an accurate result. If they do a beta test, it MIGHT be enough time to have an hCG level of above 5, but if they just do a "yes/no" (qualitative) test, then most likely it will say negative at this point because it's about the same sensitivity as a line test (maybe even less sensitive than some line tests). Are you going to the OB for a different reason, or just to check if you are pregnant?

I'm going for an annual & to talk baby stuff. I figured it would be too early. Not knowing what DPO I am is killingggg me.

I know, It looks like u get a slow rise like me and then u got a bigger jump 6-7 days after O like I seem to get the past two cycles lol. My fingers are crossed extra tight that u get all the bding done possible at the beginning of next cycle and have ur sticky bean in no time! With ur doc saying u didn't have a good O, I feel like it was because u oed a few days before ur scan. That happened with Kenna once and the doc was sadly right..lol. Kenna & I were saying we should all pee PURPLE the sec we are pregnant! Lol itd make all our lives so much easier! Oh & at home blood/ultrasound instruments lol

it does look like ur 6-7dpo. FF may be off a day (making u 5dpo or 7dpo). It was cd 15 or 16 that u got that really nice positive opk that u showed me on twitter?

 

[aidensmommy1]

Sn0wbunnie, I just remembered the really dark positives were from CD 15 & 16 so id say u oed the day after FF says. If u take off those ALMOST pos opks from CD13 and before & put only the true positives from 14, 15, & 16, it'll probably fix ur O date of it feels it should be adjusted after ur opks are corrected. The opk is only positive when its like the one u showd me for day 15. The one from cd13 was ALMOST positive (which u dont want to record on FF, just make a note because ff marks O by going by ALL ur signs) I just hope u get ur bfp! But if not, this charting thing will get much easier for u next cycle and ull know when u O in no time! u just have to get used to the true positive opks and the way ur temps go and such good luck!!

I started Clomid this cycle. AF till now has been just spotting and little bouts of cramps. Usually CD1 means spotting to full flow in 1-2 hours that soaks through 2-3 pads and pathetic cramps. My total flow from yesterday has not even been enough to fill half a pad. I testted with FMU yesterday and BFN Thus, my confusion.

Oh, and FX for all hoping to get their BFPs! How are you all holding up?

 

[Megamegan]

Temp rise today as predicted Yay, I ovulated.

Happy birthday Jessica!! Hope it is a drastically different day than yesterday!!

 

[Megamegan]

MolGold- so, normally you don't spot before AF? A lot of people do (myself), maybe the Clomid has something to do with it. With any cycle with a new medication, you should expect that something will be different... in your case it's possible you could go either way at this point! If it is IB, you likely won't have a positive test for a couple days. FX it is not AF! Good luck dear.

Wow, you have SO many days of positive OPKs!! I would be confused if I were you, too. Are you planning to test with a line test before AF is due (or at least when you predict she is due)?

 

[Megamegan]

Kenna, omg... I'm sorry to see that temp dip and cramping Just crazy how your tests were looking... I saw on your journal that you will call the doc today... it is definitely time to figure out if you have an issue that can be resolved. I hope you find a real fertility specialist who will do a full workup on you.

 

[Jrepp]

Thanks for the birthday wishes!

Sorry your temps dropped ladies. I was really hoping this would be the month for you both.

So I just got a text from my sil bitching me out for not cashing a check she wrote to us days after I had surgery because now there account is overdrawn. I probably should have cashed the check sooner, but id was busy recuperating.

 

[sn0wbunnie]

Sn0wbunnie, I just remembered the really dark positives were from CD 15 & 16 so id say u oed the day after FF says. If u take off those ALMOST pos opks from CD13 and before & put only the true positives from 14, 15, & 16, it'll probably fix ur O date of it feels it should be adjusted after ur opks are corrected. The opk is only positive when its like the one u showd me for day 15. The one from cd13 was ALMOST positive (which u dont want to record on FF, just make a note because ff marks O by going by ALL ur signs) I just hope u get ur bfp! But if not, this charting thing will get much easier for u next cycle and ull know when u O in no time! u just have to get used to the true positive opks and the way ur temps go and such good luck!!

Ok, I changed it & it did change my O day... but why are the CH still dotted?


ahhh it's because my CM was watery today.. but it was... So... Should I just not record that?

Try leaving it blank and just put a note on it...... Then you'll have a solid line.

Hi Ladies,

I made a call to our doctor since i'm not a fan of waiting and waiting.... I asked for my P4 result and it was 14ng/ml and she told me i did ovulate and it's about what they were expecting at that day. Of course i have to do my own research to get some more info. And this is what i got.


" Mid-Luteal Phase: 5+ ng/ml. A level over 5 probably indicates some form of ovulation, but most doctors want to see a level over 10 on a natural cycle, and a level over 15 on a medicated cycle. There is no mid-luteal level that predicts pregnancy. Some say the test may be more accurate if done first thing in the morning after fasting. "


https://www.fertilityplus.com/faq/hormonelevels.html#progesterone

Will still go on Friday to get the result and have a word with my doc. Now, i can relax more.... Just waiting to test or the

Just realized my CD21 test was done the same day i got the highest temp before it dipped the next day....

since u didn't temp much this cycle, is it possible that u oed later or did u get an u/s to confirm O? Maybe u had spotting from the clomid OR maybe its IB and ur not quite 13dpo yet...? FX! I hope u see ur bfp soon!

ahhh it's because my CM was watery today.. but it was... So... Should I just not record that?

it just needs another day or so to be sure of itself because of some signs not matching up perfectly. It looks 100% right to me now only because I saw ur opks and u def oed around CD15-16. Those were nice positives! I'm guessing u had a nice O FX for u!

EDIT- I missed the part about ur watery cm. That's def the reason for ur dotted lines. Id def mark that in ur notes and just leave it blank . That'll fix it!
