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

[Lost7]

My ob will order urine and blood tests, and will probably do an ultrasound and other testing whether I'm prego or not. BD hurts my cervix, it's very sensitive, and I tend to have very light scant brown spotting after BD so we just aren't doing it to be safe. A couple more weeks and everything will start to work itself out one way or another.

Has anyone heard off this lady? I knew she had an appointment on 26th May with her OB and was hoping she'd keep us all updated. I've had her on my mind and in my thoughts for best wishes. Getting a little worried she's not been online, Hope everything is okay.

I've been wondering too as she hasn't updated.

 

[Lost7]

I just hope that she is okay. I have checked a couple of times for an update but there has been none.

I think that one of our ladies on this thread has talked to her, when she comes back on maybe she can update you.
So I'm kind of debating whether or not I should be tested for celiac disease. My mom thinks that I should since I do have some symptoms, but the symptom list is like 300 different things. I guess it can't hurt to go get my blood checked, it just would be a major lifestyle change. I know that jess has a gluten allergy, did you find it hard to switch over? and infertility is one of the symptoms. I also have chronic constipation, I'm always fatigued even though I take vitamins, and I have periods of depression and anxiety. I also have a lactose intolerance which I read can be caused by gluten allergy.

Couldn't hurt to test. Hopefully you don't have it though

I just realized that depending on my exact IUI date, I will likely be testing right around father's day. I'm going to count that as an excellent sign since this would be DH's first child.

That would be cute! You can give him his first father's day gift! I saw some onsies that say "best fathers day gift ever"

 

[WunnaBubba2]

That would be amazing as a gift to DH

 

[melewen]

That would be an awesome Fathers Day gift!!

Chelsea have you been tested for hypothyroidism? Those symptoms sound very very similar. Jess has a really amazing story about her sister in law who has it and doesn't take her meds, as basically birth control, and when they all went on vacation together, her husband I guess was making sure his sister (the hypothyroid chick) took her meds and she came back preggo! I didn't get a hint of a BFP for months and then like 5 days on a low-dose pill and bam, preggers. It can be so hard to be tested for because my numbers are all totally fine but I had symptoms. Most informed doctors know that now though and can treat you based off symptoms. What's your average temp pre-O and post-O?

I have my hcg trigger tomorrow morning.

But nurse said I don't need another scan

However if I conceive I will be testing 3 days before fathers day!

I had my thyroid tested a bunch while we were seeing our fertility specialist, and all always came back normal. I haven't talked about any symptoms with a dr though, crohns disease runs in my family too, my nana and one of my aunts have it, and I read that chrons and celiac can mimic each other. So it may be good to get checked for both.

My Temps are pretty sporadic

Also, I do eat a lot of whole wheat and whole grain foods. If there is an option, that the one I choose. Every since I was a kid, I hate white bread! It has a weird smell and consistency. So I have always opted for wheat. any pastas I buy, biscuits, tortillas, french bread cereal, everything is wheat or whole grain. And since I'm always constipated, the extra fiber makes me feel like I'm helping myself

I have spoken to her. Her tests weren't what everyone was hoping . They did betas and it was negative. :-\. But she is doing okay and is going for an appt in the next couple of days to check thyroid, cysts, and such...basically trying to find out if she's ovulating or what's causing her long cycles. She'll get her BFP soon! I know it!

Que, I hope u dont mind that I have an update...Everyone's been so worried about u!

That IS a good sign! I had my transfer the day before mothers day, and then I had my test day on my grandmothers birthday and i like to think both of those dates were more than a coincidence!

I agree, u dont need another u/s, as your follies are going to be the PERFECT size this month! I was so upset to learn they let them grow too much for u last cycle but I have an AMAZING feeling for u this time! Ur follies are prob between 16-18mm today so by the time u actually O, they'll prob be between 20-24mm, which is absolutely perfect! Yay! I'm very excited to see your results at the end of this cycle! You'll have a shot with 2 good size follies this month!

Hi ladies,
I'm 2dpo, and my uterus is feeling super tight and bloated and I have just been feeling really flat the last couple of days. I don't know if I'm going crazy but is it possible that they are early signs of getting a or are they just normal symptoms after O?
The last time I ovulated was when I was 16 so I really have no idea what's going on!!

At 2dpo, its from left over O pains and progesterone kicking in. Since you haven't oed in awhile, I'm sure ur uterus/body is def feeling the affects of the progesterone hormone. It wouldn't until after 5dpo that anything could potentially be pregnancy related. That stinks, I know! But the good news at this point is, your having progesterone side affects which means u most likely DID truly O so u very well could get your BFP within the next 10 days or so. FX!! Good luck!!!

Bless her, I hope the further tests come back ok - at the same point I hope she gets answers!

Chelsea, I hope that if you do have celiac disease that it will be easily manageable. I have Crohn's disease and I have to watch out for certain triggers but overall it isn't horrible
