And congrats twinkie!

 

[twinkie2]

Thank you cdex! I feel like it's been a crazy long journey, but it's only been 7 cycles (7 agonizing cycles!) but that's because I'm a worrier and incredibly impatient

 

[cdex67]

I am ridiculously impatient! I have this horrible fear that one of us has fertility issues (my mom has some major issues with her reproductive system and dh is a fairly heavy smoker but cutting back). Jusy hoping I can be patient enough to wait it out and not get frustrated.

 

[twinkie2]

I had that same fear! So hoping this one is sticky as the heartbreak last time completely broke me, but it is amazing how a new cycle can renew your spirits!

 

[cdex67]

Well I have my fingers crossed for you for sure!

Twinkie!!!!! YAYAYAYAY! So excited!!! Congrats!


Well ladies, The Dr visit went as well as I could expect it to. I love my dr, she is awesome, honest and totally on board with helping me get my BFP!
We talked about my cycles being 42 Days long and about the 32 day cycle I had before this last one (81 DAYS). She doesn't like that I kept getting Positive OPK this last cycle and no period (without the provera). She also said it was odd that I was actually ovulating with a 42day cycle for so long, she expected me to have a few months of longer cycles but not as many as I have had. so she Took my blood today to get all the tests done. I go on on July 23rd to do another blood test for progesterone to see if I actually Ovulated, if not then I will go on again on the 1st. If nothing then she is going to start me on Clomid. She was willing to give it to me now if I really wanted to (she was encouraging the testing first), but I told her I wanted to find out what on earth is going on first. Since I only have 1 of 3 symptoms that would alert for PCOS she isn't worried about that being the issue right now. She and I also talked about my weight issue, which could be the entire problem that is preventing my cycles from being normal ( if all blood works comes back as good). So I am ( I have already lost 5.5 lbs) continuing my weight loss journey.

Talked to the DH and he is going on a diet too (not that he needs one, but to help me stay on track). He's happy I decided to go a head and find out if my hormones are all good before starting any meds.

Well that is about it, i'm trying to stay positive because, hey maybe it is just my weight and nothing else! Considering I never had any issues when I was at a normal weight, we are pretty sure that is what it is.

I hope everyone else I well!! I skimmed the thread before posting, but I don't remember everything that I read now that I have typed all of this! lol.

Welcome new ladies!

 

[twinkie2]

cc2-so glad you have a good dr and that she is so willing to work with you. I think you're making the right decision to check things out first.

 

[patienceiav]

Looks like you have a lovely Dr sounds like a great plan you've both set up too! I'm trying my hardest to stay away from junk food and snacks, it's amazing how hard that is!

Oh welcome by the way cdex :wave: missed you in all the excitement!

Well done Crazy! Whether or not this is the reason, but my crazy long cycle coming off BC ended when I went on the GI diet and lost 10lbs!

 

[twinkie2]

For those that want to see some progression, this is 9dpo to this morning (11dpo) with morning and evening tests, the bottom test is the most recent and is still wet.

Wow they're lookin great twinkie!

Just got back from hospital had second set of hcg bloods done so will get the results from them at tea time

 

[twinkie2]

Can't wait to see your numbers!

 

[patienceiav]

Looks so great Twinkie i bet this is it! Do you have to go to your Dr or are you just putting your feet up and revelling in being pregnant?

 

[Wtbam]

Monday - 87623
Today - 112129

Woman said they shud have doubled and now I need to go Bk for more.Bloods, I thought once got to a certain figure they slowed down.
Well confused

Worrying again now

 

[twinkie2]

Got a call in to go to the dr. He said he wanted me to come in as soon as I got a + and get on progesterone. He's working hospital today so not sure when his nurse will be able to consult with him and get a call back for an appointment, but really hoping to get in before the long holiday weekend. But so far temp is staying nice and high, just getting nervous with impending AF due date on Friday.

But yes, I am trying to revel in the glory of this pregnancy while I can! Didn't get to last time, so I'm trying to make sure I enjoy what I can, when I can, just in case. Might make it that much harder if this ends, but I'm trying to be positive and not create any extra stress. Doing pretty well so far actually!

 

[Wnt2beAMom]

Congrats Twinkie! Looks like good progression and glad your temp is staying up!!!

 

[twinkie2]

Jess-it does and what i just looked up says doubling time is 96+ hours for hcg over 6000 and your doubling time right now is 134.92 (if I have your dates right, the 30th and today right?), I think that is very good!

 

[patienceiav]

Hope it's just a little hiccup Jess, hope you can find a way to de-stress, don't want anything to convince your body now isn't the time to be preggo (like the stress hormone can do) i understand it's super tough though

Twinkie definitely revel in the moment this is nothing like your other almosts so I have a good feel hard to switch off the temping and testing though i imagine !
