Bbyo- praying it's better numbers tomorrow' or when they decide to test it again!
And praying soy works for you!!!!!!

 

[LVnMommy]

Woo hoo! CD11!!!

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

LOL!!! that really made me giggle out loud!! my DH is going to wonder why that is stuck in my head now // OPK's still negative its wierd they were wayyy darker 2 days ago but not positive. Hmm just wait and see!

I think we had the biggest TTC funny to date today. DH gave his sample for the SA at the fertility clinic. I was laughing my ass off while the guy stood there giving us instructions. I couldn't help it. I laughed for another 15 minutes before DH finally got me to calm down.

I promised him I wouldn't give any details, but I will say when we walked in the room they had Jimmy Buffett playing. Now please tell me how Jimmy is supposed to set the mood?

We won't get the results until July 18.

 

[sjones1125]

Bbyo- you have to wait that long? LOL Jimmy buffet.

Well I have my Provera ready to kick start my period AGAIN! ughhh

 

[OperationBbyO]

Too bad you can't give me some of your extra days. I need about 7 more LP days and I'm sure you'd be more than willing to chop 7 days off your cycle!!

I see my MW tomorrow morning. I may beg for clomid. If she doesn't give it to me, I'll be going for the soy. I looked at CVS and Wal-Mart and neither had it. Walgreens says they only sale it online. I'm going to try GNC after work tomorrow if there isn't a clomid script in my hand. Supposedly they have it.

Babyo-
I have no clue about prolactin levels. I take it they should be higher?? Any time you hear the word menopause when discussing TTC I know it is NOT GOOD. I am very anxious to hear what your MW will say. I am rooting for you and DH. Even though I am kind of mad that I don't get the full story on the semen sample. Crazy about the SA results. I second Stacey's question, why the hell so long?

Calasen- hmm, I sure hope the clomid does the trick for you. So funny to be wishing for AF to show up, isn't it? But, maybe you'll never get it. I have read about women with really long cycles who finally ovulate and end up pregnant before AF even shows!! Fingers crossed something happens for you

Stacey- yay! way to be proactive! i'm so happy you're ready, armed with provera, should you need it. sorry about the lower temps. i am still crossing my fingers for a BFP. i just think it would be so cool if you ended up pregnant this cycle, despite all of the cycle drama you have been through.

AFM- i think i had a positive OPK today and the day before yesterday I had transitional CM (some parts were stretchy, some parts were still lotiony) but today I don't have EWCM. (Couldn't tell yesterday because it was obscured by semen). It's really unusual for me, but the CM that I do have is slippery and watery, so I guess that is still good. Either way, that is what pre-seed is for so I will definitely be using some tonight.

Anyone idea why I wouldn't have EWCM this cycle when usually I do?

 

[OperationBbyO]

We have to wait so long because it was the first available appointment! We are at a major southern medical center and it always takes forever to get in with a specialist. The name of the game is refer out to whoever bills the most so specialist see every little last thing rather than the GPs. It's a pain. It's going to be a problem for me too because they want my MW to refer me to an OB even though she can take me through 6 rounds of clomid and more blood work. So far I've held my ground. MWs are cheaper so it's better on my pocketbook to stay with her as far as I can on this journey.



Rainy--I don't know why your CM is acting crazy. More than likely the universe is conspiring against you! lol That's how it feels sometimes!

Jones--When do you take the provera?

 

[sjones1125]

If my temp goes down tomorrow, I'll take it then, right before bed. I was even thinking of starting tonight. I had two temps last night and one was way past my cover line. I don't plan on waiting like I did last cycle.

 

[OperationBbyO]

How long does it take for AF to show up once you take the provera?

Are you going to do the soy stuff this cycle?

 

[sjones1125]

Took 2 or 3 days after the last pill last cycle. ( I take it for 7 days) But since this is my second time, I might start before I finish them.
I'm not sure about the soy, I heard it messes up with your temps sometimes. I might just give it one more try.

-- So I read eating yams is good. You have more chances of conceiving twins!

 

[babydreamers]

Hi ladies -
Just a quick update, I'm back from Hawaii, arrived today. Had a good time but spotted almost all the way through. Since getting on the plane bleeding has become a lot more - now similar to a period but still brown. Still no pain. Luckily I'm seeing my Ob tomorrow - I just spoke to her on the phone, she's really nice. They'll do an ultrasound tomorrow and I strongly suspect confirm a miscarriage. Not too stressed just extremely disappointed and sad. lll update tomorrow when I know for sure if were back on the TTC roller coaster

In the meantime - get your freak on ladies!

 

[Calasen]

Oh dreamers So sorry, fingers crossed for tomorrow and its not that

 

[LVnMommy]

Dreamers im so sorry!! but you cannot give up hope !!!!


ARGGHH CD 13 Negative OPK. ! no other words needed,, except freaking hurry up positive OPK!

 

[RainyMama]

Dreamers- thinking of you, sweetie. I hope you are wrong about the miscarriage.

 

[LVnMommy]

So our anniversary is for 2 days but DH surprised me with a gorgeous 4 ct eternity band!!! its beautiful! one happy girl.. Oh and i did the cycle calculator thingy and im supposedly due to O on or around our anniversary and the due date (if bfp ..fingers crossed)would result in VALENTINES DAY how stinkin cute!!!




Oh btw I just took another OPK and ALMOST ++ . I know it will be + in the am so baby making here I come **** singing **** get ya freak on getcha getcha getcha getcha getcha freak on!!! Lol

 

[OperationBbyO]

Dreamers-I am so sorry hun! I really hope it's not a MC. I won't believe it until I have to!!

LVN-haha I am cracking up at work. I'm so singing that!

AFM--My MW was completely baffled by my cycles. She bounded into the room telling me how awesome my progesterone levels were. I told her I started my period two days ago but that I was still taking the supplements. Basically she told me she had no idea what was going on with me, she had never seen anything like this before, and this was more than she could handle. As a friend, she told me about the RE she used. She said all the REs in our town are awful and she chose to go to one about two hours from here, so that's where we will be going.

I have to chart BBT for the next one to two months to confirm or deny ovulation, check my CM daily, and do opks so see how it all lines up. I will continue to take my progesterone after ovulation. I don't know whether to be happy or sad that I'm getting tossed to an RE so soon.

I'm going to try the soy this month. I have nothing to lose at this point.

 

[sjones1125]

Dreamers- I'm sorry! don't give up

Afm-- well i started my provera last night. I
Took at first response test and there wasn't even the hint of a shadow of a line, and well my temp keeps going down. So now I just wait for the witch to show her face!

 

[LVnMommy]

BabyO you should be happy about going to the RE that just may mean answers sooner !! But hey 2 more months of charting and your gonna try soy?? You may not need to see RE!! prayers your way

Sjones sorry for your BFN !!!


Dreamers I'm really praying the ob tells you everything is A OK !!


I have got some KILLER O pains !!!! Ai yi yi! Do you guys ever have such intense O pain??

 

[RainyMama]

Stacey- sorry about the bfn, boo! Yay for provera and moving on to the next cycle. You have another dr. Appt coming up, right?

Babyo- your MW and I are both baffled by your cycle.
I love people who admit that they shouldn't be handling your case. Way better than her assuming she can figure it out and you suffering for it. This has happened to me many times. Fortunately the only thing at stake was my hair. I have stylist baffling hair! Hehe.
Also I am so happy that she gave you the scoop on the REs in your area. I feel good knowing you are well taken care of.
Sorry this is so long, and I am not done yet. The only issue I see with soy is that it could very well mess with your temps and since you haven't been temping yet, you don't know what your body is up to on its own.

 

[sjones1125]

Liz-yes, I'm ready to move on to the next cycle...I have my appointment on the 30th.

Bbyo- I agree with Liz. I'm glad she admitted she has no clue what's going on, and isn't leading you on.

Jessica- I did had some O pains this cycle for the first time!! I took soy also, so I'm guessing that's what it was.

I just saw THE COOLEST THING!!! LOL, so Dh and I got busy, and I pulled out my lil microscope and put some of his stuff on there...And I SAW SWIMMING LITTLE TADPOLES!!! It was really awesome! I can't stop watching the video, Yes, I recorded it lol...they were hard to spot but once you looked really carefully you could see them swimming! I felt really bad when I wiped off and cleaned my scope LOL. **sigh**
