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

[Jrepp]

Wishing- I admire your strength but i for sure would have gotten an frer by now. When is AF due?

Megan- my doctor went off of known ovulation date because she said that conception occurs within a day of ovulation. If she used my lmp I would have been due around the 10th, but since I ovulate so late, it bumped my due date up to the 16th.

Aidensmommy - I would of course take a baby whenever it was chosen for me, but I wouldn't want a Christmas baby because of all the holidays right around there.

So now that I'm a bit more coherent, I can tell you about the surgery. I was under for over 3 hours while they did all the stuff they wanted to do. They found some scar tissue round my ovary that they removed, and a few adhesions in my abdominal cavity. They then checked my tubes and they looked great. No damage and the day pushed through so easy. Inside my uterus, they found a small polyp that they sent off to the lab for diagnosis. They also found a very large (taking up most of my uterus) septum that they removed. The doctor said she couldn't believe how big it was but of all the possible problems, this was the easiest to treat. She's is almost guaranteeing that that was our issue. The balloon itself is very uncomfortable and causing cramps about a thousand times worse than period cramps. It will come out in 3 weeks when I meet with the re to discuss our next options. We won't be able to try again for 3 months. Which puts it into August.

Sunshine, I think that's a very good idea! it took me 6 months until I started temping but im happy I did because I suspected O to happen around CD14 but for me I quickly found it was more like CD9-12 (besides this cycle bcuz I started vitex and I LOVE it!!) anyways, so for me it was a good choice to take up temping but I know dh and I wouldn't be able to keep up a steady every other day bding schedule. We would both be tired and probably miss the most important nights with my luck lol. Did u just come off ur BC again?

No haven't taken the BC in a very long time. We were just using condoms and stopped using them last cycle. My period ended yesterday but was unable to friggin babydance and I leave to go housesit about 45 min out of town for four days starting today. I am praying that A. DH comes visits me after work and we can get some bd in or B. I will be safe for these four days without bd and hopefully still catch the egg. Ahhhhhh idk

Aidensmommy, mine would be Dec 29 too! That is, if the doctors listen to me when I show them my chart with the evidence that I ovulated on CD13. I'm gonna be pissed if they insist on going by my LMP, simply on principle. I took the time to figure it out, and I hate when they think everyone has a perfect 28 day, o on CD 14 cycle, so I want to help prove them wrong. Hopefully I don't have an idiot doctor and that won't be a problem.

I totally fell asleep before temping when my alarm went off this morning! I was ridiculously tired after my 12 hour work day yesterday (2 long rehearsals and a performance, very exhausting!!) so I guess my body wasn't going to let me miss a second of sleep. Oh well, not like the chart matters a whole lot at this point after O anyway. I've seen so many BFP charts on FF where they had totally wonky temps, and then O charts where they had nice rises (like mine last cycle), so I don't trust post-O temps a whole lot. Part of the problem is probably user-error. Temping at different times, wearing more clothes, less sleep, whatever. I'm sure the actual BBT is more accurate but there's only so much we can control to get that actual BBT.

Yeah, post O temps came be so deceiving!!!!! FX that you get your BFP this month

Wow! I hope that the issues they resolved give you a great chance of a sticky BFP! I'm sorry you have to wait until August but I bet you will get our BFP in no time after that! I hope the cramps ease up soon for you, I can't even imagine the pain you must be going through.

Well, I'm not sure how long my LP should be, so I'm going to go with 14 days and say AF should be here Tuesday. I don't plan on testing again until Wednesday now as I believe I have just had an unfortunate case of Evaps this month.

 

[aidensmommy1]

Jrepp, that is so crazy! I'm happy they were able to remove it and that its an easy thing to take care of though. I bet ull conceive in no time after this, especially since they are pretty certain that was the issue this whole time. And its still music to my ears to hear ur tubes are good! I was praying like crazy about that for u! I hope the balloon becomes less noticeable after a few days. 3 wks of discomfort like that is alot :-\. Good thing u took some time off from work!
And I know what u mean about a holiday baby...ive always said I wouldn't want a Christmas baby cuz of presents n stuff lol but when dh and I started actively trying, I decided whatever DD I could get, id be more then happy to take! Lol
Feel better hun! I'm still praying for you

 

[aidensmommy1]

Wishing I still have hope for u. We are just finding out what ur true post O temps are abouts but ur chart really has me convinced..it hasn't gone down at all without coming right back up plus those tests were 100% believable. Actually I tested this a.m just for fun lol and I myself got an evap and it was grey, not pink. I still have very high hopes for u this cycle! Ive been seriously telling EVERYONE a lil about u and how excited I am lol. Idk why I feel so strongly about this! Even without ur nice temps, id still have a good feeling for u I hope on Tuesday u get a nice dark bfp so I can say "told u so!" hehe

 

[aidensmommy1]

Ur charts triphasic too I believe. It looks it to me anyways. FX sooo tight! Your very hopeful cycle has been giving me something to be excited about everyday. Dh says it sounds weird cuz instead of getting my hopes up and excited about me, alls ive been talking about is you using a frer the past couple days! Lol. I come on every 20mins to see if u have I'm so horrible about POAS!!
But I can be patient and wait if I must ill be looking forward to Tuesday!

I just realized Tuesday is actually the day ill be using my first frer. (itll prob still b too early but i always try lol. Hope its a very lucky day!

 

[Wishing1010]

Lol! You crack me up we are going out soon, may stop and get a box of FRER just in case

 

[aidensmommy1]

THANK YOU! plz do! :-D lol

 

[aidensmommy1]

Mega, what channel are u usually on? And when? I wake up at 6a.m and always try to figure it out but haven't been able to yet. Is fox and friends the show its usually on? And I know what u mean, some docs will listen to u about ur O date and others wont. Just find the right one for u. If the doc wont listen to u about your O date even when u have a chart sitting right in front of him/her, id find a diff one. If they don't listen about something so little, what else will they not listen about..? You know? I went through 3 OB's when I was pregnant with aiden and then I got to the 4th one (all in the same office) and I knew she was definitely the one I wanted to stick with. good luck! I hope we see ALOT of BFP's this time around! You'll get ur sticky bean! FX u get ur Christmas baby!

 

[stickyegg]

Jreep hope ur ok

Wishing fx they ain evaps everyone else testin fx bfps xx

 

[confuzion]

jrepp - sounds like mostly good news! Sorry you have to wait until August, but from the sounds of it, the surgery was very much necessary. Hope it's all easy from here!

CD1 for me today!

wishing - I'm still holding out tons of hope for you. Off to your journal now.

I took the time to figure it out, and I hate when they think everyone has a perfect 28 day, o on CD 14 cycle, so I want to help prove them wrong. Hopefully I don't have an idiot doctor and that won't be a problem.

By LMP my EDD is Nov 19. I ovulated on cd17-18 and based on that my EDD would be Nov 22. I had my 8 week scan yesterday and measured 8+1 - LMP was 8 + 2, ovulation was 7+6! So they kept my EDD the same, Nov 19. Apparently studies show that earlier implantation can lead to a more advanced fetal age (usually by 1-2 days on average) and I'm sure I implanted relatively early, so maybe that made up the difference?

Oh, and I asked the u/s tech to check what side I ovulated on, and she confirmed it was my left - that's where I felt my ovulation cramps! Yessss! I was giddy to be correct, lol!

 

[Megamegan]

Awesome, I would be giddy too It's so nice to hear from you MarieMo

Aidensmommy- I'm actually not on TV regularly, it just happened that I was on twice in a couple weeks. Usually I'd say it's about once every 6 months. I'll let you know if I expect to be on again

Got super nauseous today. Probably just because I waited too long to eat lunch. *nothing is a symptom. nothing is a symptom.* that is my mantra. Lol.

 

[Megamegan]

I'm still SO NAUSEOUS. I just read that progesterone peaks at around 7 dpo, and I'm 6 dpo, so I am attributing it to that for now. But it still gives me hope!!! I can't help myself.

 

[stickyegg]

I got like cramps ?? Achey ones? Are they normal

 

[Wishing1010]

BFN on FRER ladies. I definitely think I'm out.

 

[stickyegg]

BFN on FRER ladies. I definitely think I'm out.

when r u due af xx

 

[Wishing1010]

I think Tuesday

 

[aidensmommy1]

BFN on FRER ladies. I definitely think I'm out.

idk I wont be convinced til AF shows. Alot of women cant get positives until at least 12dpo. That's a proven statistic and even w frer there's only a 58% chance of a positive at the point. I still have faith. If not, next month will be the golden egg!! but I still think u have a good shot FX!!
