[Jax41]

Ok Jax I will try but know I won't get it all right


The best news is we have had some BFP with Alex & most recently Jenn

Lots of us are giving DHEA a go because of produce results

Suki is out to France after going to the olmpics

I'm recovered from two cysts where my treatment was to make my body think its PG to heal. Looks like it worked!

Crystal & Peace are trying to treat immunity issues so the can have sticky beans

Several of us are on breaks to get away from LTTTC madness


And of course we are all trying to catch the pig!!

Milty! Thanks babe Promise I'll try to keep up with you all now Good to hear that the treatment has worked, so hope you get good news soon

Jenn, Alex, brilliant news!!

Crystal, Peace, so hope the immunity stuff sorts itself out so that sticky beans come your way.

AFM no sex hell I think and I'm not just talking TTC sex either, I'm talking BFNuffink sex!

OMG, I've just been catching up and hit the deck (nearly typed dick there ) over the needle chat, I cannot do those things...!

Girls, may I ask your advice please? My cycles are getting all over the place and I don't know why For the last 3 I've had 35 days, 28 days (my usual) and then 18 days . During my 28 day cycle I had a CD21 blood test which the Dr said showed everything O etc was fine, I'm not sure why it's all going haywire, I've never been irregular in my life and I have no other symptoms of anything. I guess I should keep an eye on it all and go back to the Dr if it persists? Any advice would be ever so much appreciated, thank you

 

[Jennjenn]

That happened to me twice - once from stress at work and the other is a fever/sinus infection right before my normal OV times...however, I've never had a short cycle like that???

 

[Jennjenn]

Oh yeah - I did get shingles in my late 30's from the stress at work - even though I felt like I was handling everything fine! So you never know how the stress monster will wreak havoc on our bodies!

Hey Jax my cycles can range from 28-32 days, although they used to always be 28, only since I've gotten older have they been wonky. For me it always depends on when I ovulate and stress and illness would always make me ovulate late. Other than that I'm not sure...I would bring it up to the doc and see what they say

Everyone is quiet today! Hope you are all good. When is Suki coming back, seems like she's been gone forever!!

Today the nurse called to tell me my results. She says "it's positive but it must be very early because it's low" Cue me freaking out, stuttering "what do you mean low?! How low?!". 1524. Which makes my doubling time 51 hours with 90% increase over 2 days. So it's good, she needs a definate lesson on how not to freak out a newly pregnant ltttc'er!!

Back to work for me in less than 2 weeks I love my summers off and always have a hard time adjusting to the new routine.
Hope everyone's having a lovely day

How is your progesterone? Make sure they give you supplemental Progesterone if you need it!

My progesterone was only checked at 7 dpo and it was about 85. As far as I know that's the last it was checked. I guess it's not being looked into because I've not had any progesterone issues in the past (my fertility work up bloodwork was showing normal progesterone)

 

[LLbean]

oh ok...then you should be good

Morning Ladies

Jen- those numbers sound great!!

Jax- Maybe you O'd at different times in your cycle? Hope the sex drought lets up soon

Bmom- Your temps are looking great

Liz- Morning, hope all is well

Peace- my book came yesterday, and yeah glad I got it I'm glad I have an appointment on Tuesday because I'm not leaving without scripts What really p*ssed me off when I was reading it is that I have already tested positive for autoimmune problems years ago, that's how my kidneys were damaged so I just feel I've been through infertility hell and maybe it could have been different which then makes me sad I can't believe everything including the migraines are all immune related.

Milty- Good Morning, have you read Is Your Body Baby Friendly? If not you need to get a copy as well, when I was reading it I kept thinking about you Its a def read for LTTTC unexplained or just trying to get pregnant and can't.

Suki- Hope your having a blast

H0peful- Good morning hope things are well for you as well

 

[Milty]

I actually have read it I think several years ago. I can say back when I first went to my FS the first thing talked to me about was immunity issues. That's why I don't understand they havnt tested you guys before because they did this to me about 10 years ago

S

 

[Milty]

My thing keeps submitting even when I'm not finished typing


Anyway
When I got pg with DS I didn't find out till 7 weeks so but he was fine

And that's the only time I've ever been pg

 

[crystal443]

I asked my FS about testing and he said there's no point because I have a known autoimmune problem, Its just now treating it at the appropriate time so hopefully Tuesday we can get something figured out

 

[crystal443]

Well I had DD and DS with immune problems and carried both my problems really after DS and I have not been able to get pregnant until recently and we know how that ended. I think DHEA is working enough to get a BFP but I think the immunity problems are really messing things about.

When I was reading it some of it sounded so much like you with the cysts etc. I wanted to know if you had read it yet in case there was something you could bring up with your doctor

 

[Milty]

I'm excited for you because I can see how things are changing for you. It's really just a matter of getting the right medication levels

 

[Milty]

Oh I hadn't looked at like that since the cysts thing is new but you have a good point

I mean what caused my problem years ago may not be my problem now

 

[crystal443]

That's it Milty I thought like that too, which is why I haven't pressed the immune thing until now because I thought well I had 2 kids so all is good...but apparently that's not so and it is possible to have a kid or two and then there's problems If you still have the book def read it because there is a section for ladies that have kids and then can't have anymore. There's also sections for killer cells in the ovaries etc.
