The 'OFFICIAL' Ex Mirena Thread

[gabbyskyy]

Wellllllll......had positive opk's the past 3 days and I'm cd29! Took a digi "not pregnant"...ouch! So if I o'd late then tht means I'm on a 42 day cycle! This sucks!!!! I would be 11dpo if what I thought I had was ovulation spotting cd18. I don;t know what's going on with my body! I felt O pains cd27, that's what prompted me to get an opk. then I thought well, opk picks up hcg. Anyway, long story short....my af is way outa wack still!!!

Looks like the has turned up today, either 2 weeks late or 2 weeks early (depending on where my cycle is) So thats cycle 13 a bust I can't handle this no more Dr's wont help, bodies a complete mess and I'm emotionally drained I am very close to just giving up completely

Hey ladies, I havent been online due to our house being broken into ... and yeah, well, it's been hectic. Anyway! Hubby and I had our mirena removed 9/14 and last night we got our BFP! I had been testing since Tuesday, and each test had a slight faint pink line. Last night we tested again and that second line was LOVELY AND DARK. So we are due in late July-early August. Good luck TTC ladies!!

 

[Calasen]

Well ladies, I had my appointment with the fertility specialist today. We finally had the opportunity to speak with the dr about OH's semen analysis results - she was optimistic that they're great results so that's good to know and was good to hear. She's still concerned about the volume of seminal fluid (0.5 instead of the 2.0-6.0 average after abstaining for 3 days) so he had to do it again but this time abstain for 5 days. If it comes back low again, he has to be seen by the urology department but we'll cross that bridge when it comes - hopefully the results will be in Friday. Anyway, everything else was fine. They expect a minimum of 20 million sperm per milliliter of fluid and OH had 53 million so that's fantastic. He just needs to increase the volume so there's enough to carry the sperm to where they need to go is what it sounds like!

As for my results, she did a pap smear and vaginal ultrasound - both were normal. So we're waiting on OH's results and she prescribed 50mg of clomid days 3 to 7 of my next cycle which is expected around 12/15-12/18. She also said I need a progesterone test on CD21 so I'll be doing that on 12/7. I hope she listened and realizes I don't always ovulate on CD14...my average is CD17 but can be as late as CD21! I did show her that I chart my BBT, etc. so we'll see! Maybe I'll go on CD21 as she wants and then also go 7dpo since she kept saying "well ovulation occurs on CD14 so....."

Anyway, I'm feeling more optimistic today and ready to try another cycle. Plus, my BFF from BnB got her BFP today at 12dpo so that's WAY super exciting! Congrats mommy2be1003!

I'm glad for you edens, Sounds like the drs are hopeful they can help

As for us we have decided to stop focusing on TTC until after the wedding - while we still be TTC, we wont be pushing it and not focusing on it. The stress of both have managed to cause a serious recurrence in my medical condition and have now been fighting to maintain some normality for a while. I will still be on here though, just not temping, or OPK-using. But on the plus side by the time we get to the wedding and start focusing agian on TTC the 2 years will be up and our Dr's wont have any more excuses for not running tests to find out why we are having so many problems

 

[gingerfaerie]

Oh my goodness Megarice... she is so beautiful! Congratulations!

Calasen - Ohhh, finding the venue is exciting. How much longer until the Big Day?

9 months seems like ages until I look at our list of things to do, esp as I am making nearly everything for the wedding including my dress

Hehe! I remember all too well the 'OMG what do you mean there's only 12 months until the wedding look at all of this stuff I have to do ahhh!' feeling. I made most of the things for my wedding, but not my dress. That's awesome! I wish I were that skilled!

 

[Calasen]

Just had a complete panic thinking something was missing off the list and then realised I hadn't budgetted for the rings!!! D'oh!!!

 

[Calasen]

Hoping for you

I feel you inside me,
A tiny speck of hope,
Waiting in Love,
For that spark of life.
A longing that warms me,
Keeps me happy late at night,
When things seem so dark,
It’s you that gets me through.
We are waiting for you darling,
Loving you so much already,
Yet your face is yet to be decided,
And your destiny to be set.
I see you in my dreams,
I hold you in my heart,
I hope you join us soon,
And make our family complete.
