Faye I never worried about drinking in TWW. The stress of TWW alone is enough. And doctor told me if was safe up intol day AF is due. .

I received news that on Sunday a friend of mine passed away. She was 7 weeks pregnant and had an ectopic pregnancy. Was rushed to the hospital and died on the table. I haven't talked to her in years but se was so full of life, late
20s. I'm in shock.

I of course freaked out even tho I know mine if ectopic. And then ordered DH to get me more FRERs. now I'm even more anxious to have my U/S Tuesday

The only good part is my test line is crazy dark now.

Deep breath.. I completely understand being anxious about that, but I'm sure your baby will be fine!!

Thanks Gagrlinpitt. If it was it would be so ironic because this was our first month "ttc" last year. I thought I'd have a 28 day cycle and it would be so easy to get pregnant wow I was in for a suprise.

Ajangel, I hope you are right, I had a nice recovery. I actually dreamt my temp was high last night. I had to turn my touch lamp on to read display to make sure I didn't. On call nights aren't usually like that. I have just had terrible luck with mine. DH says they til I'm on call. I think the 3rd US are awesome when you are further along. I'm anxious to see you LO but he needs to bake longer

Faye, I'd say go ahead and have a drink. It's not attached to your blood stream yet good luck remaining calm during tww. I've had low expectations this cycle too and honestly the tww has been easy. I've not even thought about testing unless someone asked and I'm not even sure I wasn't to test until late.

Elle.T. I usually am good internally on the cm department but externally is a different story. I like preseed

Okay now to read next page

 

[Flueky88]

Angel I'm so sorry about your friend. I don't think ectopic gets very dark and you would be having pain in one side that's pretty severe. Your test line is stealing a bunch from the control that's fabulous

I am only on month three and I thought the same thing the moment I removed the mirena. I thought I'd be three months pregnant right now...

 

[Angel5000]

That's exactly what I thought. I was sure I'd get off the pill, and within two months would be pregnant. 14 months later. . . . stupid body. and stupid doctors who refused to listen to me in the first place when I told them I was positive I had low progesterone.

It's funny how we are so careful to make sure not to get pregnant and all the scares they gave us about taking the pill at teh same time every day, etc, and then it's SO hard to get pregnant coming off the pill that i probably didn't need to worry in the first place.

Of course, then there are people like my cousin who gets pregnant on the pill so I don't know what to think.

Angel: Wow, that is so sad and scary. It’s so hard when you hear “horror stories” like that but you have to try to remember that it’s not the norm.

Flueky: Glad to see your temp go back up today. FX for you!

And agreed on the hormonal birth control. If I had this to do all over again, I would have gone off like a year ago and just dealt with using condoms for the year. My OB really encouraged me not to go off early because she said I’d have to deal with heavy periods, cramping, etc. and my cycles have always been regular. But these long cycles are the pits!

I am 5 DPO today and nipple soreness has finally subsided. Have some minor cramping today, but other than that O symptoms seem to have passed. Based on the nipple soreness which I also experienced around now my first two cycles, I now am beginning to think that I ovulated late during my first two cycles as well… hopefully my cycles will start to get shorter or TTC will take FOREVER!

Also, I did have one cocktail last night at dinner and felt totally fine about it!

 

[Flueky88]

Faye I hear ya. I have late O too and it sucks waiting. I'd say your cycles will get at least a little shorter. Your temps are looking awesome so far

Gagrlinpitt I know it's so hard realizing that is not how it really works. There are a few that get pregnant first cycle but that's pretty rare.

My best friend actually got pregnant with both kids first try.. But I worked in gyno for five years so I've seen every case. I know it usually takes about six months.. I guess I was just hoping it would be quick for us

 

[Flueky88]

Hope everyone has a great Sunday to finish off the weekend

 

[faye1019]

You too, Flueky! I'm hoping to have a very productive Sunday over here!

Freaking out a bit because my temp dropped a bunch this morning (still above cover line, but still). Of course, now I'm reading about low progesterone levels and feeling very anxious as I seem to have some of the symptoms.... could this be another lingering effect of going off the pill?

Hoping this morning was just a fluke...

 

[faye1019]

Also Flueky, just took a peek at your chart and it is looking great to me!

 

[Flueky88]

Faye could be either implantation dip since 6dpo. Also, we get an estrogen surge around middle of luteal phase. It could be either. So FX it's implantation dip

Oh and thank you, I'm glad it recovered pretty nicely. My chart is so different this time. I'm hoping different is good.

Could also be implantation dip..

Fleuk- your chart looks great

 

[faye1019]

I didn't know about the second estrogen surge... definitely good to know! I'm definitely feeling a touch "off" today-- not a huge appetite, a bit crampy and achy feeling. But honestly, it could all be psychosomatic! Could that be result of estrogen surging again?

Hard to know what's going on since this is my first time charting during the LP and don't have any comparison.

And Flueky, I'm hoping for "different is good" too for you! So hopeful for you!

 

[Ajangel25]

Faye- temps can also kinda go up and down, I wouldn't worry yet! If your LP ends up being less than 10 days I'd think about low progesterone but otherwise don't worry just yet.

Flukey- chart is looking so good! When will you test??

 

[Flueky88]

Gagrlinpitt thank you you are starting opks tomorrow right?

Faye yes the first one is certainly a learning experience. Also, FF has the article about "implantation " dip vs estrogen surge. I love their tid bits.

AJangel, testing.....hmm... I'm thinking when I'm late. So next Saturday. I would like DH to be home when I test and I'm not testing at 345 a.m. way too early. Oh I'm glad you've got your ticker

Yes ma'am. I'll start temping again tomorrow but honestly I've been really trying to just chill this cycle and not be as uptight.

 

[Angel5000]

You too Flueky!

I've had a good weekend. My sister and I managed to hit the gym both yesterday and today and then we did some shopping this weekend at Ross because I need some shirts that are a little looser and will hide the bloated belly I have. I look like I've gained back way more than I have (right before BFP I had lost a good 10lbs and 16 inches!) and I feel uncomfortable in most of my clothes. Ross has some very inexpensive clothes in the maternity section so we bought me some larger shirts that have "flowy" bottoms to help hide the pouch, and then picked up some pregnancy pants/shorts because at $8-$10 I can't pass that up. I felt like I was going to jinx it by buying pregnancy pants, but my sister pointed out that my regular pants are already tight on me thanks to massive bloating so I might as well buy it now while Ross had them.


Faye - low progesterone could be from your body recoveirng from the pill because your body has to figure out how to make its own hormones again. In my case I still have low progesterone and have to be on pills but its possible your body is still adjusting and will start to make all the right hormones within a few cycles of getting off the pill. Today's drop in temp could be an implant dip too! Fx!

And like everyone said, you do get an estrogen surge mid-LP so that could cause the dip too.


Flueky - your chart is looking awesome! I can't wait to see you start testing! I need some POAS porn!
