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

[mdscpa]

Just an update, im on CD31 now 2 days late no sign of the coming. Today i had cramps on my left side again below belly button. Sometimes i think maybe the embryo couldn't make up his mind wondering where he will implant since ive been getting cramps in both sides which is very very not me. Still having EWCM kinda yellowish and brown dot included in it. I am always dry after O and this is the longest cycle having this kind of CM. Also i checked my saliva scope today and got full ferning again. 2 - 3 more days before i'll test again. And ohhhh, last night i noticed i have two veins in my belly from panty line to side of breasts both sides like someone built a road. All these things are new to me what is going on?????

Nothing last night but did just after this afternoon after that cramping on the left. Went with my CM again when i wipe im not really sure whats that brown thing but i do hope its from implantation since its brown i assumed its old blood. FX to you too.

Ahhh I just wrote a ton and it disappeared! Grr.

Will try again, lol.

Wishing, I am so sorry about those damn tests!!! And I understand wanting to take a break for a while - You are still super young and it will probably do you both good. But I hope you stick around here!!

iBeach, I am sorry AF got you I haven't read too far back yet, but I hope that you are going to keep trying!!

Jess, I am praying hard for you - I am so glad that what was removed was likely the culprit!!! And your PM made my day, thank you. I also think you should call doctor - And what pain meds are you on? If it isn't percocet or plain oxycodone, ask for it - it is the strongest - and with oxycodone, you can take a higher dose without any risk to your liver as percocet has acetaminophen in it - That pain it the worst ever...After my surgery they kept me in the hospital for a few days, so was able to get IV meds which work 100 times better - but I hope they at least have you set up with decent medications. I was told to wait 3 months as well...of course I didn't...but didn't get pregnant, lol.

Aidensmommy, praying for you as well!

Everyone new - Hi!! and - I'm Amy


Soo I have had a really confusing cycle. Aside from the meltdown I had the other day that I posted about - things have gotten better. I had a spinal injection on Thursday for my foot. Unfortunately, it didn't work. About to call my pain dr about approval for the nerve ablation - and my Mom wants to see what it costs out of pocket. On thursday, I took the day off and around 6 pm started having chest pain - usually this is from anxiety - so I took my ativan and waited - didn't go away (i had a friend who died at 32 from not going to ER with chest pain, so I never take it lightly) Mom took me to ER, and they diagnosed pleurisy and gave me some percocet - it was REALLY bad Friday - jaw started hurting...felt like crap...went back to ER after work - they re diagnosed it as something minor and repeated chest xray and ekg which were fine. Weird. They were super busy and I think the dr wasn't as good as the Thursday one. Anyway. It is a bit better now - although foot hurts.

TTC news - on CD20 - BDed a little differently this cycle, rather than every other day - BD CD7, 9, 10, 12, 13, 15, 18 - got a positive digi CBOPK (finally after flashy smilies from day I believe 8 on) We did not BD Thursday or Friday I had a negative OPK on Friday..CD17...We BDed in the AM on Sat CD18, and took another OPK that afternoon and was positive.?? So FF changed my ovulation date to Sunday, which puts me at 1dpo today. I have no idea what that meant. But the line after I ejected the test was much darker than the positive I had before....I used to ovulate much earlier in my cycle...like...CD12...15 at most. I am so confused. So now of course i am worried we missed BD on Friday (I didn't get home from hospital til 10 and Mike was tired) and we BDed around 11AM Saturday. Not sure if we will today, but like I was telling Jess, I don't have any EWCM and..it is LATE in cycle.

Ovulation cramping started around CD8, and lasted off and on until Saturday. I went to bed at 3am Sat night (technically Sunday AM) and slept until SEVEN AT NIGHT Sunday....I sleep a lot when I get the chance, but that was nuts. 16 hours.

We are going to make an OB appt if not pregnant this cycle - to ease Mike's mind, and mine - and get him referred for SA testing as well. Our sex life has seriously declined over the past couple of months. It is like a chore for him, and since we BD for baby making missionary, every time, it has become boring for him - I told him we should start doing other positions when we aren't baby making...but past few months when it isn't fertile time, that is just the easiest position.

The stress in his life is too much, too. He interviewed a guy on Thursday that he is bringing back for a second interview, and I am praying he can hire him. He has too much stress and work load..

I am hoping I can get in for that nerve ablation this Thursday to get rid of this damn foot pain for good (or for a while) cause it sucks...and stressed him out too.

Lately I feel like our relationship just isn't as good. He was really upset that he didn't get that big tax return he was expecting, and ended up owing...for making as much money as he does - I've never had a SO that was so...worried about money. He has a ton in savings..stocks...etc...but literally stresses like crazy over things as small as dinner, etc. I make a third of what he does, and I have picked up buying all of the ovulation and pregnancy tests, the prenatals, etc. And I often will just offer to buy dinner etc if we are home and order something because I don't want him to worry or stress. I make like a third of what he makes. On one hand, it is great he is so responsible, has great credit etc (mine is HORRIFIC and have a bankruptcy) but...for my birthday, we had a great dinner at a really expensive place (he left the receipt out the other day..not sure why, unless he was like, charting it on his expenses...or if it was for me to see...and it was $300....but he didn't get me flowers or anything else. Yes, 3 days before he found out he didn't get the refund and owed 2 grand...but...I dunno. I was a little hurt.

And then, we were supposed to go look at rings, this was something I asked to do for my birthday - it was Sunday April 6th...Trice is closed on Sundays, so we were going to go on Saturday, then go to dinner - but he asked if it would be OK if we waited until this last weekend because he thought even though we weren't buying anything that he would be a dick about it and possibly embarrass me at the store if they tried to sell us something....So I said of course that was fine..I had pretty much forgotten about it this weekend, and he either forgot or didn't care, he fertilized the grass instead and said nothing about it. Now i don't want to bring it up for next weekend or anything...Just hurts my feelings a bit. We are trying to have a baby but he isn't even interested in buying a ring etc...anyway..work is picking up now...


Thanks for reading my book, lol.

Love you girls, so much! :hus:

Amy- sounds like you have been through the ringer this cycle!! Crazy. I hope your pain issues get resolved. I would talk to Mike seriously if I were you to make sure you are on the same page about getting married or not, or how long it will be until you do. Just so you're communicating openly and it's not an uncomfortable subject where you both have different expectations. With the money thing, he probably has deep rooted reasons for being that way. People are the way they are with money base on their childhood usually. My husband was poor growing up and now he spends irresponsibly even tho we make a lot. We both are spenders and learning to save. He gets high on shopping, as do I. Your SO seems like the opposite. Maybe he's afraid of losing everything in the future or maybe his family was irresponsible with money and he wants to correct it for his own life. Once you know his reasons you might feel more understanding.

Wishing- that drop isn't bad at all but I understand you think it will go lower. Only time will tell. If no BFP this cycle it's totally reasonable to take a break and I just hope you'll give Clomid another try when you're ready. All this time TTC and now that you're actually ovulating you deserve a real shot at having a baby. That's good that you're open to adoption too

Aidensmommy I'm praying for you You're the sweetest.

AFM I am trying to be more active with this new warm weather. My temp is all over the place and I'm not even really caring what it does. I don't even care if I'm not pregnant this cycle. Middle of May is when all our debt will finally be paid off and then I'll feel much more responsible and "adult" about trying to bring a baby into our lives. So many other things on our plate right now so I'll just keep going with life until my body decides I can get pregnant. No more stress! Stress can go fly away. I still feel stress but I am working on it!

 

[aidensmommy1]

Amy, ive had pleurisy a multiple of times and it does hurt! I thought I was having a heart attach the first time! It feels like ur being stabbed in the back and chest when u breath and for me I was actually sleeping and woke up from the pain crying and had to crawl to my parents room at the time...it was HORRIBLE! I def hope u get better asap! I ended up getting it 3x in one yr and they found a lump on my lung but when I went to see the specialist it had almost disappeared. I'm suppose to go for a yearly visit with the lung specialist every yr now bcuz of it. I feel so bad... I can actually feel ur pain
And I'm very sorry about the issues u and Mike are having that's never easy ANYTIME, let alone while ttc. I wish I had better words at the moment but I'm half asleep lol (took a lil nap today ) but I def understand why you'd be hurt by the ring shopping and such. Uve been talking about it since I first "met" you and im so sorry it didn't happen. I know u were/are looking forward to that. I hope he happens to surprise u with a trip to the jewelry store. U deserve it!!


Mega, I'm the same as u this cycle about my temps...i cared before O just to catch it but now its not bothering me like it usually does and I'm not just waiting for the day to go by just to be able to temp the next a.m lol it feels good! I do want a pretty chart but I'm not worried or stressed about it at all. My temps have barely even gone up anyways lol but I still have a slightly good feeling for myself, even without good temps. We shall see. If not, it'll be on to just takin it easy and starting my enzymes FX everything works out! And FX for ur bfp this cycle! The spring/warmer weather helps me relax and stay busier and I was just thinking this a.m "maybe that's why women get pregnant in the spring time alot!" lol cuz there's always pregnancy announcements all at once when spring comes..weird but FX spring brings lots of baby dust!

good luck and baby dust to all!!

I know nothing is TMI on here, but this is...and I need help to figure out what it is.
So, I am CD3 of full blown witch show. About half hour ago I felt something coming out I just went slowly to the bathroom and I was gonna take a shower so I stood up in the shower and look on my pad ... are you ready for tmi??? it was dark red tissues with bright blood...A LOT!!! Like huge I mean huuuuge clots with something in it. It was "oval" maybe 1 inch long...like tick, hard jelly it was lighter red, kinda clear almost, but covered in blood. Soooooo, TMI continues...I start running water and did Mr Finger inspection. I tried to reach my cervix and pulled out loooong clots. maybe 3-5 inch long, tick....weird.

Sorry girls....but I know you are all experts and nothing is TMI... I am blushing as Im writing this but don't know what else to do

Hmm...I hate to say it but it sounds like my loss last year. I had a weird grayish clear thing come out of me and then tons of red clots. I hope this is just a bad AF for you though

Ibeach, I had the same thing with my loss in January. If you saved the tissue, you could take it to the lab to be tested. My doctor also said that sometimes instead of breaking up, the endemotrium sheds in clumps rather than breaking down to the blood we typically get.

I spoke with the doctor today and she said the sore/heavy chest and throat are to be expected from being under for over three hours. Apparently the longer you are under the more your chest and neck hurt. She said the tube a t the tip of my vagina is part of the catheter that came unwound and to do my best to push it back up. And she said the bleeding and pain are to be expected. They basically took out a large portion of my uterus so my body is kind of reacting to that.

Agh! Well, at least you have some answers. Do you feel more relieved knowing that they had explanations for your pain?

Well, the Vitex can cause issues with ovulating in women who have regular cycles. It typically helps ladies with irregular cycles like you, and myself! I think you should try it for a couple months and see how it works for you. FX and lots of

 

[Wishing1010]

Amy, I hope your month gets better, sounds like it's been a crazy time! I truly hope you and Mike get everything straightened out and you will be posting ring pics for us soon!!

Megan, I am very pleased with the clomid and will beg for it when I'm ready to TTC again. It was really nice knowing what was going to happen this cycle

 

[mrsstrezy]

Wishing-thanks for the response! I may think about Vitex for next cycle. Did u ever try it personally?

Have u been diagnosed with pcos? Or even just stress or many other things can affect it. You should look into vitex. U can google it. I started it this cycle cuz my cycles were getting too short and I O 4days later than my most common O date and I just over all love it so far. it naturally balances ur hormones out. A hormone deficiency can also cause long or short cycles. There so many factors! Ugh! Lol. Good luck and u def joined a great group! if u dont get a bfp, u should look into temping...that can give u and ur doc a very good insight on what may be going on good luck again!!
