The 'OFFICIAL' Ex Mirena Thread

[babydreamers]

Stacey - I agree, if your temp continues to rise I think you ovulated! Finally! Now your getting somewhere. I learnt to drive a manual, then hired a car a few years later, didn't realise until I went to drive off that it was an automatic -could I work or how to make it go? No! I had to go back in to the shop and ask to be shown! I felt like a complete fool. I'm sure you'll get the hang of it quick, you just need someone who isn't going to freak out when you inevitably stall it a few ti mes.

Liz -excited for you. Really hope its your month!

AFM - what a week! I had my scan yesterday at 6+3, the latest I could possibly fit it in before leaving. No heartbeat visible, pregnancy smaller than it should be, measuring a tiny 0.25cm. Embryo size correlates to 5+6, gestational sac measures 5+4. Sonographer was trying to reassure and tell me I'm probably just not as far along a I thought but my dates are definate and I couldnt have implanted late because I got my 1st +hpt at cd22. Either baby has died or is just growing more slowly than the average. I really hope its the second one! I was feeling very down after ultrasound and had a little cry in the car on the way home but since then im thinking theres a good chance everything will be ok . Im sure all babies dont grow that predictably.
,sorry to ramble on!
I'm trying not to let it put me off this exam, I'm in melbourne now, exam at weekend, won't be back to get a 2nd ultrasound until I'm 9 weeks. Its just bad timing!

oh honey good luck in exam and sending all the good wishes i can your way that the babys just a little shy and not showing you they are really there XXX

Dreamers- ginger had an early ultra sound as well and had lots of worries because those tiny babies are just do TINY in the beginning.
I think as beanie grows he/she will show him/herself to be just fine and growing at their own pace!! Not at a pace determined by a textbook. we are here if you start to feel scared or sad. More just in case you need them

Aw Dreamers, I'm sure everything will be fine. The early scans are so scary - everyone I know who had one before 8 weeks has had a scare that turned out fine. Good luck on your exams!

 

[taurusmom05]

Dreamers, when I was preggo with DS, I had the exact thing happen to me!!!!! Craziness! I was, according to dates, 6 weeks or so, and when I had a scan they said he was measuring 4 or so... And they said I might of had a blighted ovum! Went back a couple weeks later to see him doing just fine thinking of you!!

 

[sjones1125]

Dreamers- Good luck on your exams!! I'm sure everything will be fine! **praying**

 

[gardenofedens]

ARGH!!! Your temp is supposed to stay UP jones!!!! WTH!?!? My heart dropped when I saw your chart

 

[sjones1125]

My chart is so flipping messed up! I'm sooo tired of this spotting! I think I'm giving myself a break on ttc. I'll just keep temping to see what my cycles are like and when they get back to whatever 'normal' is. We're going camping this weekend so that'll hopefully get my mind of babies. I always wake up in the middle of the night, between 1-3 and I temp then and then again when I open my eyes around 5. ughhhh!!!

Mellissa- Which temp do you think I should use? the one's i get around 1-3 are always higher. and I do get my 3-4 hours of sleep. you think I should stick to that one?

 

[OperationBbyO]

Dreamers I think it will all be just fine. Medical people get their panties in a wad over dumb stuff all the time!

Jones--I will no longer complain about my cycle. Your cycle is a nightmare!! That's so not fair!

 

[gardenofedens]

I'd use the temp which comes after you've had the most consecutive/restful sleep but make a note of both in the notes section just in case...

 

[sjones1125]

Bbyo- Tell me about it

Mellissa- Thanks. I think I'm going to start going to bed earlier. I usually go to bed at 10 or so..sometimes even 11. And I might just set my alarm. Just to get in the routine.

 

[babydreamers]

Thanks ladies, really appreciate the reassurance. I'm going to try not to stress as that won't help. I'll keep you updated if anything happens white I'm away.

Stacey -i agree you should take a break before your body drives you nuts! Just maybe note bleeding down for a month or two. If th ey sort themselves out then start timing bd again, if they don't see a specialist. Its impossible to time bd with your cycles the way they are -only option is regular bd throughout cycle. I really hope your cycles sort themselves out or else you just get a lucky bfp!

Ok i have a question for you ladies, my stepsister has been ttc #2 coming up on her 11th cycle. ((sigh)) she is thinking of trying soy iso's ,, anyone had luck with these. I say for her to tough it out till the 1 year+ to get clomid but she wants to try this first!

Jessica- Sorry to hear about your sister. I tried soy for the first time at the beginning of my cycle...It hasn't really done much for me except for really strong O pains around cd13. No sign of me ovulating yet, But then again I had a 85+ cd last cycles, O around days 60 or so I think.. So If I do ovulate any time soon..then It definitely worked for me..but as it is now it hasn't. Also does your sister ovulate at all, does she have somewhat of a 'normal" cycle? If she does it might just cause more harm than good.

 

[gardenofedens]

I agree with Jones. I tried one cycle of soy and it messed up my cycle more than it helped. My temps were all crazy. FF couldn't determine when I ovulated based on temps and it either shortened my LP or made it really long or I possibly had a chemical? No idea really. It was a CRAZY cycle. I definitely won't be using them again.

 

[RainyMama]

Stacey- I am so sorry that your cycle is so unpredictable. I can imagine you must be super frustrated! Do you think you might find acupuncture relaxing? It has greatly improved my pms symptoms. I have heard it is helpful to regulate cycles. For me it is relaxing, like taking a nap.

Mellisaa- what are you eating today?

Babyo- how are you doing? Feeling better?

Molly- how are your guys handling your new job?

Lvn- did you take another test yet?

Calasen- AF shown for you?

Me- I am feeling low and blah. There is some family drama going on and though I am much less irritable this cycle, as AF's due date draws nearer I am becoming tearful and feel quite delicate. Work is strange and chaotic. I want my assistant to go home so I can cry at my desk if the mood strikes!
10 dpo today, breasts not sore, no cramping (though had some sharp pinching yesterday), felt nauseated today but was while upset and that's normal for me. AF due monday!

 

[sjones1125]

Liz- sorry to hear you're having family issues i hate those! And they can be very stressful! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!

I'm trying really hard to not let it bother me. I plan on enjoying our camping trip. And as soon as the kids go to bed I'll bring out the wine lol. I haven't had more than 1/2 glass of wine in a while because i've been woryying about temping. Not today!!!! I really need a few glasses. Hubby should be home around 8. He stayed in portland after work and will drive to corvalis to get the tent trailer. So i should be nice and toasty when he gets home LOL! Us being on different schedules really screws up with our alone time.

What's your plans for the weekend ladies?

I know for sure im not Pregnant. I have an appointment in 2 weeks with a new OBGYN. I delivered both my kiddos in an Army hospital before with midwifes (military dosnt dish out a OBGYN unless your high risk lol!) so took me a while to find one i think ill like Hopefully AF will show up so we can try again!!! As for my step seeester i didnt even know she was ttc that long, (not really close) but when I told her we were she dished it all out to me LOL,, She has fairly normal cycles she did start temping 2 cycles back though,, and i couldnt give her any advice on that cause i dont.

[sjones1125]

I know I said I wasn't going to, But I went pee and and it looked pretty concentrated so I thought ehh, WTH LOL...and this is what I got! Could my body be trying again? I'm sorry guys..don't mean to be posting these all the time.[IMG]https://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w47/Spnluv/e8ce4c65.jpg[/IMG]

 

[RainyMama]

Stacey- I think it is positive! I hope this is it! Stay RELAXED! Hehe, I wasn't very relaxed as I typed that.
Don't feel bad about posting too many pics, it is why we are here. Date night with hubby, we are going to see a romantic chick flick at a fancy movie theater, then Saturday building raised beds for the garden, gotta hurry cuz it is getting late!

Lvn- I would've tested like mad as well. Make sure to let us know what the OB says.

My sister's hcg is up again and the dr is happy!! Yay! She is pregnant!!
I feel much better than earlier cuz I had a BIG cry and got it all out
