The 'OFFICIAL' Ex Mirena Thread

[sjones1125]

Calasen- That's pretty sad, She has no idea how lucky she is! Are you planning on taking anything to start your period? Or is that not an option? Sorry If you already told us.


afm- too hot! I've been so hot at night, must be the soy lol. can't wait to see what it's going to do for me this cycle!

 

[Calasen]

If the clomid doesn't do anything in the next 2 weeks then I am getting referred to the fertility specialists at our local hospital. So no idea really what the next step will be but there is a concern that my PCOS and Endo are back and causing trouble again, which most likely means another operation to remove the cysts and patches of endo. If that is the case then we will probably wait until after the wedding to go through with any of it.

But who knows I may get very lucky and catch before I see anything ? wishful thinking though there.

Hi ladies- sorry I have been a lame BnB friend. I am reading along just keeping semi quiet because otherwise I would bombard you all with inappropriate amounts of symptom spotting and BFP fantasizing. It is so hard not to test early, I am 12 dpo and just hanging on!
Stacey- I think the heat you are experiencing must mean you are working overtime to produce the most wonderful egg this cycle! How is your sleep these days?
Calasen- still no AF, eh? That stinks, seems like you have been waiting for ages for AF! How many friends do you have that are pregnant or think they are? Seems like so many, might drive me mad. to you.
Babyo- Glad to hear DH is getting his head back on straight. Any chance the both of you or he will go to counseling?
Molly- those tests sound awesome, how expensive is expensive?

Dreamers- thinking of you

 

[LVnMommy]

I can feel AF on the way...

 

[OperationBbyO]

DH is headed to counseling on his own. He has a gigantic pile of problems that I cannot help him with. I will always be supportive, but I learned my lesson on trying to "fix" people long ago. People have to fix themselves. I think the majority of his problem is that all of his bad decisions (marrying crazy, staying with crazy after she slept with her student--she's a HS teacher, having a child with crazy, signing whatever court order she wanted to get away from crazy, sticking his head in the sand rather than being productive in his career, etc) have finally caught up with him. He has finally realized that he's screwed himself in many ways by hoping that his problems would go away rather than dealing with them from the beginning.

Sure, I've had my fair share of life poo, but by any comparison I've really got it all together compared to my DH and I think he is really struggling with that.

I'm just bopping along. Waiting to see if the soy did anything. I'm enjoying following my temps.

 

[OperationBbyO]

Also thought to ask, does my chart look normal?

 

[RainyMama]

Babyo- I am very glad to hear DH is going to counseling.
Your chart is exhibiting a saw tooth pattern. Probably the soy is making it seem even more erratic. But usually you would not want to see your temp going up and down, up and down. But it makes sense for your dx so far. Hormonal issues.

Stacey- haven't your temps gone up and down with soy?

 

[OperationBbyO]

The little tip it gave me was that I wasn't temping at the same time every day, and I wasn't, so I started temping at 6:00am. It's "sort of" evened out after that, but I guess not very much.

I'm kicking myself for not temping the previous 6 cycles.

 

[RainyMama]

Babyo- Taking your temp at the same time might help it start to even out a little. Your last few temps look a little more stable-ish also it is hard to see a pattern until you have temped for a few cycles, by the end of this cycle you'll have a better idea though, than you do right now.

I am wishing I'd kept temping, and not given up like a quitter! I am going back to temping next cycle. I will be FULLY strategizing to the max. Temping, opks, acupuncture every week, I am going to add the herbs the acupuncturist has suggested, super healthy food, I am going to eat a real breakfast(!), wean myself off caffeine (only drinking one cup now, but it can't hurt to stop), and lots and lots of sex! Plus starting actual cardio-not just walking. I have lost a couple pounds, yay! And want to lose a few more. We conceived DS when I was working out. Sorry to be so wordy gals!!

 

[frybaby2012]

Babyo-I am joining you in the attempt to tempt.

Rainy-I know what you mean by hanging around but feeling as if I dont support it enough in posts.

As for me after 45 days AF FINALLY arrived. Yeah now I can start temping and opk and all. Rainy what CD are you on?

 

[OperationBbyO]

Ooooo What herbs are you going to take? I'm all about taking whatever I can at this point. I mean, what can it hurt?

 

[RainyMama]

I have no idea, she told me briefly a while ago, but I shot her down. Since I am still not pregnant (that I know of!) I am changing my tune. As soon as I get the bottles I will post here the names and why she is recommending them.

 

[OperationBbyO]

So according to my chart I'm like a cold blooded reptilian. Dang. I'm chilly in the AM. lol

 

[sjones1125]

Lol Bbyo, my temps have been the opposite, i wish mine were a little cooler. It'll probably be better after my last dose of soy today!

Hows everyone?

 

[taurusmom05]

Hi ladies! Hope everyone is doing well Nothing too much going on here... CD 27 now. I have a few more days until testing... trying to hold off until the 10th, if af doesnt show before then. I started my usual cramping 4-5 days before my period so I am feeling pretty down about that. I feel the way I did last month and the month before We REALLY have to get a BFP this cycle! Our poor little thread needs it!

Liz! I cant wait to see the results of your test soon! You are just about there... I admire your willpower!

Stacey/bbyo- hows it going on your soy journey?

calasen- whats shakin, bacon?! FX that the clomid is doing the trick for you right now!!!

frybaby- how are you doing???

LVN- when do you test again next? did af show?

dreamers- i miss you!!!!! Hope you're doing ok!!!!

How many people do we have TTC this cycle?! It's statistic time!!!

 

[LVnMommy]

cycle day one. Ill be super busy the next 9 weeks so I think that TTC is out of question next two cycles but ill do what i can. Im just feeling down/stressed at the moment.

GOOD LUCK TAURUS!!!!!! im still hoping for all yalls BFP

 

[OperationBbyO]

I guess it's all going well? I discarded a fluke high temp and my charts seems to be evening out.

I decided I"m weird because I chart stalk myself multiple times a day...like it's going to change.

That's crap about CD1 LVN. No fair!

Taurus--hang in there! You could banish all your HPTs like I did.

Stacey--My body went right back to normal the very day I stopped taking soy. I hope yours does too!

 

[RainyMama]

Lvn- sorry for cd1, ugh, always a hard day.

Molly- please tell time to pass faster so you can get your BFP!

Babyo- I used to stare at my chart throughout the day. Don't think that makes it a normal thing to do, though!

Me- 15 dpo, no AF yet. Freaking out.

 

[taurusmom05]

liz, absolutely. im so excited about it... pls oh pls oh plssss arent we all over due for a BFP?!
JUST TEST ALREADY! i grovel at your feet for your willpower not to test. lol seriously. i am not worthy! i test early every time! if i was 15dpo that equals to about 15 tests i would have already taken! gah!

im roughly 10dpo i think. could be as few at 8... i did a really horrible job at keeping track this cycle. lol having af cramps and my usual pre af cm. boo! trying to remain hopeful at this point.

liz is pregnant. for sure. i just know it!

dreamers, are you out there?
mellissa?

stacey- my friend!! lets be pregnant ok?! whats the latest with you?

lvn, sorry about cd1. very sucky day stay positive! it just means you are another day closer to Oing again!

 

[babydreamers]

Hi guys - Im here. Just being quiet.

OMG Rainy Im really really really excited for you! I really hope this is it for you.

Sorry to hear this isnt your cycle Lovmommy

Taurus - fingers crossed for you!

AFM - 14 days post D&C and mostly feeling better. I've been back at work for 2 shifts and have actually really enjoyed it. Most people think I've just been on holiday as my sick leave happened at the end of Hawaii leave, so that helps a lot. I've been trying to keep super busy to distract myself as I get a bit morose with too much time in my own head. I took my 1st ever sewing lesson yesterday which was great - really enjoyed it. I have the odd wobble - my male boss (who I know considers miscarriages "just like a period") asked me why I was off sick - but I managed to deflect the question. Also every other woman in the world seems to be pregnant - and as soon as I find out about another its like a reminder that I am not. But things are definately getting better. Im not temping but think I might be ovulating. I've been told to wait until after my first period to ttc again, so Im just biding time until then.

Phew! Cannot wait for news of your BFPs ...
