yeah baby aspirin was a disaster for me....WAY too bloody

Crystal sorry af is here and being awful , at least less clots is a sign the meds are doing something good. Thanks for the heads up, i'm expecting mayhem because of the progesterone. Only 3 days on it and my boobs are massive and sore, feeling like a bloated whale. I just cant imagine having to take it for 3months or more. Hoping some serious gym sessions will counteract it. Glad the SEs from prednisolone are gone. Can I ask, did your dr say to stay on the prednisolone across the cycle? Usually they say to stop when AF starts and re-start after ov. The dr's say there is no need to wean off if one is taking it for only 2 weeks each cyle but they feel it can affect ov to continue. Maybe double check with your dr just to be sure, dont want it to affect your cycle

Glad i skipped it this cycle. How are you LL?

 

[crystal443]

Yeah its a bloody mess He said to stay on it full time but I was actually thinking of stopping it until O because it does stay in the system anyway and starting it at O again I think its better to take a break from it if possible each month not just because of O but because of calcium loss etc as well

Liz- the baby aspirin always gives me a heavy flow not pretty

 

[crystal443]

Peace- I've got everything crossed for you this cycle

 

[LLbean]

I told my FS about it and she told me to stay away from it and gave me heparin instead

HI PEACE!!!!!!!!!

 

[peacebaby]

LL yeah heparin does so much more too. Has the doc given the go ahead for iui yet?

Crystal, i agree giving the body a break from it is a good idea and not to scare you but i've heard of too many ladies that were on pred and had to stop completely for 3-6mnths to give their bodies a total break after it messed with ovulation. I'm not optimistic for myself this cycle, my timing was uncertain so i'm treating it more like a test drive of the meds, next cycle i'll be more comfortable with the infusion, the injections etc. and know what to expect.

Feeling positive for you this cycle

 

[crystal443]

What is it with the baby aspirin? its such a low dose and yet causes such havoc I totally agree Peace I don't want to come off of them for 3-6 months and wait for O to happen again. I think if my immune system is settled which I believe it is, no migraine this month, no eczema, no rashes, no fevers, no sore joints then I should be fine without them until I O

My last cycle was a weird one as well FF said I O'd on cd 11 but I'm still not convinced that was right I'm thinking about getting the happy face O testers this month so I know for sure. The cheap OPKs just don't seem to work for me Anyway, it was a prep cycle for us as well just getting everything going etc

 

[LLbean]

My appointment is on the 17th...not expecting any "ground breaking" news LOL...she will do an IUI...the question is is it worth it

 

[LLbean]

Crystal I had some cheap Target OPKs and that was a NIGHTMARE...smileys all the way when it comes to that

 

[crystal443]

I wonder where Milty got to? I'm so happy for her, she waited such a long time for this, made my bad day good again

 

[crystal443]

Liz- I'm going to give them a go, the other OPKs just never seem to get totally + or its days and days of what look like +

 

[crystal443]

DH was already looking at the calendar..dirty horndog

 

[LLbean]

Crystal this next cycle is for you!!!!!!!!!!

 

[LLbean]

The problem I had with the Target ones is that the line had to be DARKER than the control line to be positive...can you imagine? try to figure out if its dark enough LOL

 

[crystal443]

That's where I run into problems it always seems to get as positive but not darker then the control line Stupid things

 

[LLbean]

FYI Crystal...Milty says she went to get more tests hehehe

 

[LLbean]

Crystal, you have to empty your inbox LOL

This is why I prefer emails...

 

[crystal443]

Ohh Yaahhh!!! I've got to take DH to the doctor in a little bit Yes I have to take him like a child He has to get more of his skin cancer removed and have another spot checked Thankfully, knock on wood, all the other good luck sayings He doesn't have Melenoma (sp?) Hes got the kind that goes on top of the skin thankfully. I do worry though his uncle died of skin cancer and Mark has gingy hair, pale skin and freckles but his doctor keeps a close eye on what's there and its been ok so far and he needs to get his allergy spray or his eyes swell shut..that man is more trouble I'm kidding I don't know what I'd do without him
