The 'OFFICIAL' Ex Mirena Thread

[taurusmom05]

Liz, yes softcups are crazy. the size of them almsot freaked me out. lol how is that supposed to fit comfortably? i am still in the works of adjusting... a friend i have made that works here at the hospital told me i shouldnt have to use them... that sperm get up by the cervix pretty quickly after ejaculation... and that she got up to pee immediately after BDing EVERY time and has gotten pregnant 6 times (she had 3 mc's). She even said her dr. told her not to worry about using them...! that makes me feel kind of better.... bc i wait about 30 mins or so after BDing to get out of bed... but if i dont pee... i WILL have a UTI the next morning. lol sucks! idk why i just rambled about that! lol sorry!

calasen, so happy your dad is home!!

bbyo- cant wait to seee the rest of your results. I, too, am very curious about prolactin!

 

[LVnMommy]

Taurus- funny you mention that i just read an article last night last said the same thing! But laying down for 15-30 minutes afterward is important! after the 15 minute, the sperm that is going to make it to the cervix,, is already in the cervix.be

CD10 been BD'd every other night! been thinking of holding out on the hubby until its getting closer to O lol !! that way he will be good to go! Im REALLY telling myself that I am NOT going to test until 14 DPO. what about you Taurus&Rainy how long will you wait???

 

[sjones1125]

Liz- i know .

Hya Molly! I love softcups!

Bbyo- curious to hear(read) the results! Thanks for keeping us posted, i see We're close to being cycle buddies!

Jessica- wohooo!

Afm- cramps! Does anyone temp during the day out of curiosity? Mine's been 99.2, 99.1. I have the ac on and sometimes i feel cold. I even called my sister and asked her to take her temp, and it was 99.2. But I got a BFN!

 

[LVnMommy]

HMM ?? Jones thats strange! when i got my BFP i was blazing hot!! i remeber taking my temp it being 99.3. But a BFN?? how many DPO?

 

[sjones1125]

I'm 9 dpo, i just took my temp and it was 98.8, so it went down, i'll try again later lol.

 

[OperationBbyO]

Jones--we are almost cycle buddies!! That is so awesome!


My thyroid is normal.

Still waiting for:
Prolactin
Progesterone


But.....it's 7dpo....and I am spotting just like always. Even on the crazy high dose of progesterone.

 

[OperationBbyO]

Has anyone tried soy isoflavones or had any friends try it?

I figure I might as well throw everything at my ovaries before I go to an RE. I mean the worst that can happen is another BFN.

 

[sjones1125]

Bbyo- sorry to hear that

I tried it this cycle to help me ovulate, and well it looks like it did. But i also had all that mid cycle spotting. I also heard that if you have a normal cycle and ovulate it could just mess up your cycle. Keep us posted!

 

[OperationBbyO]

Well I don't have a normal cycle, so perhaps it might not be so bad. I have a sneaky suspicion that my ovulation isn't as strong as it should/could be. I don't know why, but that's what my gut says. My gut also said I had low progesterone and it was right about that too so I'm tempted to believe myself. lol

 

[LVnMommy]

Movie day today!! gonna take the kiddos and DH to see Avengers. DH has been working lots of Overtime this week to have extra$$ for our vacay this weekend!! He deserves a good movie!

CD 11 -getting close!

 

[OperationBbyO]

Woo hoo! CD11!!!

Suddenly I'm singing "Get your freak on" hahaha

 

[sjones1125]

Yeah some ladies use it for a stronger ovulation. I have to say that this was the first time I felt my ovulation pains. and they have definitely been working on something lol.

 

[sjones1125]

Jessica- how fun! Its my daughters bday today, so we just got back from the store. We got some yummy marshmellow covered in choclate!!! Lol

Wohoo!!! Get ready! Lol

 

[OperationBbyO]

What dose did you take and what days did you take it? And where did you buy it?

 

[sjones1125]

I did 120,120,160,160,200 cd 2-6. Took them right before bed to minimize side effects. Bought them at walmart. I think walgreens has them too.

 

[OperationBbyO]

Oooo that sounds exciting!!! It also sounds like it worked.

I'm so going to do it next month.

 

[RainyMama]

Babyo- I think it is a grrrrreat idea to do what you can naturally before you see an RE.
How are things with DH? Better?

Stacey- happy b day to your daughter! I forgot to check out your chart! I am going to do that right now.
I still so think you are pregnant, by the way!

AFM- cd12, I randomly used an opk today. Negative. But, my positives usually show up later in the day. Plus it is a little early anyway I suppose. I put in a softcup this AM after bding even though I said they scare me
This time I think I got it into place better. It is much more comfortable.

What's for dinner this week ladies? Hubby has randomly requested twice baked potatoes, so we'll have those with some baked chicken and probably greens or salad.
Also, turkey chipotle chili with secret puréed veggies.
But I need more ideas! Help!

 

[Calasen]

well that was eventful Went to see the Dr and he just told me to start the clomid now, and if it works it should kick start a period for me.

He also suggested we start considering IVF Am gonna try the clomid for 3 months, if it kick starts period, and then up to 100ml for 3 months then he will refer me to the fertility specialists. If it doesn't kick start a period then he will refer me sooner

He also said that if It was just a low progesterone level then my levels should have been higher so is worried that theres something more serious going on

 

[sjones1125]

Calasen- Hopefully It will kick start your period, and so you can go on and see how it works for you!!! Good luck

afm- well temp is going down, and i've been cramping on and of. I also got ewcm? more creamy than clear tho sorry TMI. I feel like AF is about to start. but I went ahead and asked for a provera refill, in case it takes longer!

 

[OperationBbyO]

Calasen--I've been doing tons of research on clomid. If it's going to work, it will work in the first three months. You can use it up to 6 cycles, but the number of women who achieve pregnancy after three cycles is minimal. Those who do not achieve pregnancy after 6 aren't meant for clomid. I know IVF sounds scary, but that's the way it's starting to look for me too. It's so scary! I'll hold your hand if you hold mine!


afm...
Progesterone---75!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Insane right considering I bled bright red last night. It's back to brown today, but it's filling up a tampon (sorry, TMI and gross)
Prolactin--12.7. I freaked out a bit because that put me at almost post-menopausal range. When I hover over the value it says <12 post-menopausal. I had a total meltdown at work. I know it varies throughout the day so maybe they will want to do it again. Either way, I am freaked out for my appt tomorrow.

My conclusion is I am not ovulating or I am not ovulating well.
