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

[ab75]

Amy, i agree with Jennuuh. I know you desparately want a baby but i think you should hang off until things are more settled, i hope you manage to sort things out xx

Good luck, steph!!! I'm not quite sure about the IUI and everything but I hope one of these ladies can offer up some advice! FX!!!

Crazy ttc question here. So iui is tomorrow, and I had my temp spike today, and my first +opk, I also am having strong ov pains. Am I to late for the iui then technically??

I was actually thinking that yesterday when looking at ur chart. Does the doc to an ultrasound first to see?

 

[aidensmommy1]

Why is my temp just going up? It was back to my post O temp range yest and now its def in that range. Ive never had this happen before..i know my temps gone up and down randomly during AF due to hormones but its just steadily going up. Maybe its the change in weather outside. At least its a new cycle so if these are just my new normal pre O temps, it shouldn't affect the rest of chart. I'm going to take a test just to be sure of ectopic and stuff just because of how light and black my period was. Its already gone so far today..i.marked my chart as spotting expecting to.see some but who knows.

Take a look at your chart from Jan, really not much different, ff removed some temps that month otherwise it would look very similar.

I'm not sure about your temps, Mary but I bet the weird AF is related to your HSG. My first AF after laparoscopy was super late and then only heavy for one day. FX it gets more normal for you!!!

Testing any day now. I'm currently 2 days late. Trying to hold out til Friday as I'll be just shy of a week late.

already did lol but those temps were removed because I had took my temp two hrs late...this time ive been taking my temp right on the dot at 6a.m. Its never happened without any sort of disturbance to affect my temp i should say. I just did a digi test and it was not pregnant so that's good because odds are it would have turned out to be ectopic with my risks and the bleeding and bad cramps so I was a bit worried this a.m. Its probably.just my hormones being wacky

Steph, before we started doing ultrasounds, we did iui the day after pos opk.

Steph, before we started doing ultrasounds, we did iui the day after pos opk.

I know its hard to tell going by opks because I usually O 12-24hrs after a positive but alot of women O 12-36hrs after. FX u catch that eggy Steph either way! Hopefully the sperm can still make it on time. Ive seen many iui bfp charts with iui being preformed on the day OF the temp spike. FX for u!

Thank you so much Mary, that means so much to me.

And I appreciate everyone else too. As far as not TTC, I'm sure we will end up NTNP for a while. Who knows. But, I have no intention of stopping TTC, many of my issues are from childhood trauma that I will have to deal with for the rest of my life...I know that being a mother (even when I was pregnant before) changed my outlook so much. The baby comes first. It has almost been 2 years since that loss, and I am 28 now. I have a wonderful job, etc, and have been in counseling for a while. I agree with Mary, drinking mixed with klonopin, is a huge risk...and both of my more recent 'events' I was drinking, at least a little bit. So, cutting down/out alcohol, especially now that my pain is SO SO SO much better, won't be an issue.

I truly hope Mike and I work things out. We are both not getting any younger, and can provide a wonderful family and life for our child.

I saw my psychologist and it went very well - he essentially said that when you have trauma as a child (my dad molested me, abused my brother, and so on..) that if you are intoxicated/on medication etc - it can cause you to revert back to an adolescent state - where you are not processing things as you would normally, and reacting to things in a more extreme way - and much like you were reliving trauma. It made a lot of sense.

Mike just texted that he is going to go see him tomorrow at 5:30. Thank god...hopefully some good will come out of it! He has never been through anything abnormal in his life..even my stories are crazy to him...so..I hope it will help to talk about it. And at least to MY psychologist who will not just tell him I am effing crazy and to run like hell.

I'm glad everything went well Amy, and seeing as that Mike is willing to talk to your psychologist sounds like he doesn't want to leave you. You have been through so much in your life!

AFM: doctors appointment in less than an hour. I have dubbed my newest scar battle wounds (ya know in my war against infertility) and they keep splitting open. I'm going to talk to the doctor about what I can do to stop that from happening. I had my MRI on my ankle so I think we are getting close to a settlement on that injury claim. Hubby took me to Ross to get some dresses because if I'm cleared for work I needed sometng I could wear to work since none of my clothes fit. I got 2 dresses and a pair of maternity capris and maternity shorts so that my swollen belly will fit with some give.

 

[aidensmommy1]

Amy, I def agree with what your psychiatrist had to say. I'm sorry to hear that about your childhood. My brothers girlfriend had the same childhood trauma and she still struggles bad with it sometimes, in ways u describe. BUT she is an amazing mother. She has her issues but my nephew always always comes first and I think you can handle it. As long as you and mike both want it, go for it! You are definitely a strong person and I know you'll be a great momma! I'm very happy to hear mike is going to see your psychiatrist as well..that's great news! Good luck with everything hun. You & mike can make it through this storm together

 

[aidensmommy1]

Jrepp, I hope everything goes good at ur appt and u can get your stitch issue resolved! And that's awesome your getting close to your settlement. What happened to your ankle? Idk how I missed that.

 

[AmySan]

Mary and Jess, I love you, thank you

And Jess - what happened to your ankle? I missed something! I haven't really been on fb much either - And that sucks with those surgery wounds - I did that a few times too...No idea how they healed so well...i ended up getting steri strips of my own and keeping them on..the glue just seemed...sketchy, lol. Dress shopping is fun! ugh, I bought a dress for Easter at Plato's closet lol...didn't wear it...but, I guess can wear to work sometime.

Mary - Ok I am glad you didn't know either! lol! I need to catch up on how you're doing too, every time I think i have a chance here at work to read, I get a call, lol. I just took a claim for this poor old woman, never had an accident in 50 years, and the woman who hit her left the scene...but she chased her down, lol...but when she finally stopped and the police came, they couldn't give her a ticket because it was her word against my insured's. Poor woman was so upset.

Usually I at least get some downtime here to read and chat lol, but lately it seriously has been soo busy! Every time the phone rings, always seems to be someone with one of my companies lol. Grr! At least it is Wednesday.

Anyone have any plans for this weekend?

I hope Mike will see me at that point. But, who knows. Took a pregnancy test (digital, out of others and have stuff coming out so really can't buy more tests lol) it was negative...but am on CD29 and I guess 10DPO..still not sure...hoping 10 now...better chance, anyway. But Strange cycle. Blah It sucks thinking if I'm out again, probably won't be trying for a bit. I want Mike to get an SA sooo badly! Anytime we take off (at my age) I feel like I am wasting time I really want 2 or 3 kids, but I may be 40 by the time I get one lol Knock on wood not...it feels like it though. My mom had me at 31 and my brother at 35, but...so far away...and less fertile..and less energy I'm sure.

Crap..caller....hope you all have good nights if I don't get a chance to get back on later!!

 

[aidensmommy1]

Awe Amy that poor woman! Its sad when stuff like that happens. And I know what u mean about "feeling like your waisting time" by not trying. I am only so relaxed and NTNP right now because of my tubal diagnosis. If I had an open tube, id still be trying like crazy! Lol Plus with one ovary, I have half the eggs I would have. :-\. I still think it'll happen tho . Its good to take the time to fix things sometimes, u know? I'm working on fixing my tube with natural remedies and I'm praying it works... & fast! Lol I know, wishful thinking but hey, anything can happen! Everything will work out great for you..maybe u just need some you time and just concentrate on the things that you want to fix and still ttc in the meantime if you both want to but make you & mike priority number one for a while...u know what I mean? I'm not saying to stop trying by any means...im just saying you deserve some happiness in your life in the meantime while u await your sticky bean!
Oh btw, they have tests at CVS for sperm counts...it looks like a pg test and it'll show 1 line if the sperm isn't so great or two lines if its normal...maybe u could try that? Dh actually agreed to that before anything and I think it was because we were able to do it in our own home and privately without docs around and everything. I think that makes my dh nervous. That's understandable tho...finding out you have bad sperm is alot like me finding out I have a bad tube...both are necessary in making a baby naturally..u know? Figured id throw that option out there incase u want to see if mike would be willing to do a test that way for now good luck and I hope tonight goes good for you
