Hopin, you did its in her journal She ended up having to sell her truck, but she'll get a beautiful baby out of it.

Allika, I haven't heard from the other place which is strange because she said whether I got it or not she'd call to let me know but whatever. You must have missed it, but I decided even if I got offered that job I want to stay with this one. Because its only 15 hours a week it allows more time with my family. Although its less pay, time with my baby and OH is more important to me. Plus even if down the road a full time position comes available I start at 4AM and get off at noon, come home for a 2 hour nap, then I have the rest of the day with my family anyways so its hardly like working! How's your job going I know you were swamped with training for a while too. Can I ask what it is you're doing?

Ajd, I hate OPKs they're so misleading. I hope you hear good news though!

Lilrojo, so glad the spotting stopped! Now you can relax

Lei, forgive me I know I've asked you this a thousand times this cycle but when is AF due again?? Have you thought of POAS just to make sure?

 

[lilrojo]

well I spoke too soon.. had a tiny bit of spotting but still better than it has been.. getting closer everyday

 

[ajd36]

I will be honest and tell you all I am scared it is a false positive and don't want to act on it...but so scared about the what if? I have read that some ladies will ovulate earlier than normal the month after they finish clomid treatments.

Here's another question for you ladies that I have wondered about a few times. When taking the progesterone supps it delays the actual start of blood flow...but does it actually delay CD1 in respect to whatever else may be happening in the body? Or is CD1 always when bleed starts regardless of being delayed to progesterone supps?

Today I became a new POAS addict....I think I tried 4 different OPK types to try and figure out if I am ovulating Unfortunately I don't temp or pay enough attention to what all the mucus stuff is about. I did have some cramping on my right side tonight....but I also have IBS and it could be that.

Tomorrow morning I have an US scheduled to see what is happening and we go from there....I think I am going to just let go of control and see what she says....I hoping that we wait....I think it is too soon....

 

[Jenna_KA]

I always highly encourage temping its the best way to know whats going on with your body. So incredibly informative. Think maybe you'll give it a try if this isn't your month? (Even though my fingers are always crossed!!)

Lei, how are you feeling?

 

[Allika]

AF is here and Jenna convinced me to temp so I started with it this morning! New cycle new luck!

 

[Beautifullei2]

Jenna- I am okay thank you for asking! Depending on when I o'ed I am abotu 12 or 13dpo.. Af is due this friday so we will see how it goes. The spotting has turned from specs or red/ light pink to a brownish pink color if that makes any sense at all.

Yesterday my suprervisor had to call my mom to come get me from work & take me to the e.r.. All day I wasnt feeling right & when I checked my bp again it jumped to about 186/116 with a pulse of 135 which is totally not normal for me. After I got to the e.r they hooked me up to a heart monitor & did an e.k.g & kept checking my bp every 15 minutes. They also gave me some phenergan for the nausea & something for all this dizziness. After about 3 hours my bp finally came down to about 158/100 which is still high for me but not as bad as it was. The doctor really didnt have an answer to why it was so high & neither did I other than the dizziness & nausea I felt fine. So now I have to monitor my bp for the next 3 days & follow up with my regular doctor & give him all my reading.

oh yeah & I still NEVER heard back from my OBGYN about all this stupid spotting crap

 

[Allika]

So strange Lei! I hope you can find the cause of all this!

Just got back from the Doc. They did my baseline scan and bloodwork. I already have a 12mm and 11mm follicle, so they said that depending on how high my estrogen level is I have to do birth control to shrink it first or something. No idea what that meant...

AF is here and Jenna convinced me to temp so I started with it this morning! New cycle new luck!

My AF showed up this morning ...just barely but she's there.

CD1 it is. Goodluck Allika. Hope we both see a bfp this cycle.

 

[lilrojo]

Allika that is strange I have never heard that.. but then I haven't heard of a lot of things..

Lei-so sorry you had to go to the er and the ob never got back to you..

How is everyone else.. hope your all doing well

6 days to my scan!! I cant wait

As for temping... I was afraid I would never be able to do it did it the first time last month and got my bfp... I loved it helped to know I ovulated..

 

[Jenna_KA]

Allika, good!! Temping is awesome you'll learn so much.

Lei, holy crap!!! That's really high!!! That's really scary What's it at now? I'm glad you're okay I hope it stays down. They didn't do any tests to try and find out why? Wow... Take it easy for a little while : / And how about you and DH, getting any better?

They did take blood but the nurse said they were only going to test it if the doctor needed it. Im not exactly sure if they did or not. Today it has been alot lower & I dont feel nearly as bad as yesterday...Last I checked it was 135/90 p.104 which is still high compared to how my normal bp runs.

DH & I are not so well.. things have been a pain at home.. we dont really talk but its just being uncomfortable that is bugging me.. I have been coming in early every day just to get out the house lol

[ajd36]

Good news!! My cyst on the left ovary is gone False postive
CD10 Right follicle 13mm!! Going back on Friday for another US to see if IUI Sat or Mon

Happy girl today

 

[luna_19]

Wow lei that is really scary! I'm glad things seem to be settling down. Sorry life at home isn't going so well right now

allika and breaking

Adj that is great news, a cyst would definitely cause a false positive

Re: temping. I temped for I think 8 cycles. I loved it at first but eventually found it stressful. It's great for learning about your cycle and linking all of the other fertile signs together. I stopped when I started seeing me specialist because he told me there was no need since my cycleswere so regular. I would have LOVED to see what my bfp chart looked like though

Lilrojo I can't wait to hear about your scan

Nothing much going in here, super tired, nauseous every day. Blah.

 

[lilrojo]

AJD that is awesome that your cyst is gone.. excited to hear about what Friday brings

Lei hope your feeling better today.. that is def scary.. on the home front..

Luna here is my bfp chart..

I think temping could get stressful but it was fun to start.. and I didn't have to do it long..

Cant wait for my us..

Had one episode of spotting yesterday nothing so far today.. so fxed it stops..

 

[momof1making2]

What a week breaking and allika.
Allika- that is very bizarre!
Lei- my poor girl, I wish I had some kind of lucky charm to send your way so this bad luck you've been having would hit the road!
Lilrojo- yay for 6 days to scan!

 

[Jenna_KA]

Jeeze Lei, that's awful... Did you find a therapist yet? I'm sorry I hope you're holding up okay with all this...

Momof1: wow 12 weeks!!! Do we get a bump picture?!

 

[Grateful365]

Momof1 - How did you get to 12 weeks already?!?!?! Your sneaky!!!!! LOL Congrats on your plum!!! We want a bump pic!

 

[Breaking Dawn]

Hi everyone

I just wanted to let you know that I'm dropping in to read up and see how you all are doing.

to those that are struggling with things right now.

And goodluck to those looking to O or test or starting new cycles.

CD2 today first scan is tomorrow. Also I visited a naturopathic/chinese medicine Dr and learned a lot about my body... so I'm including some herbal teas into my diet to help cleanse.

everyone.

 

[Allika]

Hello Ladies,

Starting Femara tomorrow. They were thinking about putting me on BCP because my Follies were already quite mature but my Estradiol was low enough for them to start my cycle anyways. We shall see what this is!

They also are checking my thyroid again. My value was off a few times last year but everytime they rechecked it bounced back to normal...very strange...wouldnt surprise me if actually something was wrong with my thyroid...
