Those that TTC together, Stick together!! 4 BABY BOYS/3 BABY GIRLS

[AndreaFlorida]

Hey all. I haven't had time to catch up on my "reading" yet, but I wanted to check in...I'll be back later tonight. Tuesdays are BUSY! My temp was 97.6, which is 0.1 lower than yesterday. Sigh. I was hoping for 98s right away...

So, my sil told me my progesterone levels are too low. They are technically in the "range of normal" but considering the cycle day I was on, they should be way higher, which is probably why my doc didn't say anything about it. Plus, it was my general doc, not a specialist. (My sil, the midwife, just to be clear) I've been putting on the progesterone cream for many cycles now, but it's still low. Does anyone know of a way to bring my levels up??? I haven't heard back from my sil yet (doesn't EVERYONE sit by their computer all day, waiting for my messages?! WTF?! ), so I'm sure she'll have some more ideas, but I was just wondering if anyone knew. She said this is probably why I'm not getting pregnant yet. Awesome.

Your charts looking like mine LOL.....FX because mine jumped at 6dpo I'll be praying yours does as well babes

Hey ladies! how is everyones TWW going? Hope everyone is having lots and lots of symptoms and that all those test turn pink!

I forgot to tell you all how my son Zachary is reacting to this whole pregnancy thing! It is so cute!
So far We have included him in everything. He knows there is a baby in mommies tummy and that when it is time we will bring the baby home from the hospital. We will be including him at all of our ultrasound appts as well. For the past week he has been carrying around my reborn doll. He feeds her, and dresses her up, and has long conversations with her. He shows her how to play with his toys. Yesterday I had my first appt. DH and Zachary stayed in the car while I went in as I knew it was just going to be a PAP and discussion of my diabetes. It took a long time! When I got out to the car, Zachary started yelling, "Mommy?!? Where is the baby?!" My DH told me that the entire time I was in the office that my Zachary did nothing but talk about the baby and that mommy was inside getting it. DH tried to tell him that we werent taking the baby home today, but then a woman came out of another office next door holding a baby carrier, and my little Mr. Mom was convinced! Lol!

Who knows and look at me and DH just today talking about saving the money which we don't need much more to just go ahead and do IVF or something....I'm tired of waiting and its just not happening...and now I'm ooooooberly upset with my cousin I duno how to react or what to say without being rude All I said was "congrats...hope its what you wanted" grrr I could slap myself I am so depressed this cycle its awful still no biopsy results of today if she doesn't call tomorrow I suppose I might just be calling her and asking for my next referrel to the doctor to do my surgeries

 

[annie00]

andrea- why dont u see if she would be willing to give the baby up for adoption??

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! guess what Edward from twlight passed right infront of my house yesterday ate at the res truant by my house and shot seens in my side yard.. OMG and here i am in texas and not get to see anything.. its all over the newspaper and all .. wow.. im numb..

 

[rosababy]

Oh Holly. I just had time to read your post. What a sad sad person she is. She sounds jealous, insecure, and hateful of herself. People that are happy and who love themselves do NOT say those awful, hateful things about other people. You are a beautiful person, and none of those things are true. You forget about her immediately. She is not worth your time or thoughts. We love you.

Andrea, don't feel guilty about feeling bad. You're allowed to feel whatever you feel. It's okay. We love you too. Thanks for your supportive words about my chart. FX that they go up, too! Ugh...just read about your cousin. Why do people like that get preggo when we're trying so hard?!?!

Love, what a beautiful bump you have!! You give us hope. Thank you for not leaving us.

Mrs., it honestly doesn't look you o'ed yet...what are the open circles? Different waking times? Could that have something to do with the weird temps? And still having cm...I would keep bd'ing every other day, or every day until you get a bigger spike. ???

Brandy, your son is so CUTE!!! I love it! He's going to be such a good big brother!

Sigh. As for me, my sil said my progesterone levels tested too low for 7 dpo. The lab says they're "in the normal range" but my doc is not a fertility specialist, or even an ob-gyn, and I'm sure she saw that all of my numbers were in the normal range, but didn't study them very hard. I've been putting on progesterone creme since October, guess it's not doing anything.
I have been asking around, and evidently there are some pills that I can take, as well as vaginal suppositories. Both are prescribed by docs, so I'm REALLY hoping that my new ob-gyn will give me something on my Feb 23 appointment. By then, it will be month 10, but I'm telling him cycle 11, so we can get the ball rolling.

It's most frustrating, because I can pretty much count myself out for this cycle, and every cycle until I get some progesterone meds. I don't have enough progesterone to implant, let alone carry a baby. Feeling pretty down.

 

[rosababy]

ANNIE, EDWARD WAS IN YOUR YARD AND YOU DIDN'T SEE HIM?!?!?! Omg. He's just so beautiful. However, I'm team Jacob... Nothing hotter than a hot, sweaty, tan werewolf.

 

[EJW147]

Hello ladies! As you probably guessed af got me yesterday blah!!! Rosa I feel like you I just know something is probably off maybe my progesterone too. My appointment is march 1st for a pap but I'm hoping they will listen to me and do more like some blood work. The last couple cycles my periods have been really heavy with some clots haven't looked into it online really because I'm too scared but I will be telling my doc about it for sure! Just Hope if there is something going on it can be fixed. Ahh wish my appointment was tomorrow! Lol Hope everyone is doing great and there are lots of bfps soon!!!!!!!

 

[hopeful4bfp]

Andrea that is a tough situation, im not sure how i would handle that either. It makes me glad that my sister is a fanatic about her bc and all my other friends are gay males so i will never have to go through that (hopefully)...

im a little crampy and my nipples are a little more sensitive than normal but im trying my hardest (and failing) not to symptom spot. im feeling really hopeful this cycle

 

[rosababy]

EJW, I'm so sorry AF got you. Your chart was looking so good, too! Definitely get bloods taken...that's the easiest thing to do right away, and it seems like a doc will do that without waiting a year. I hope it's NOT progesterone for you, too. This sucks, doesn't it?

 

[Mrs.iwnamkabb]

Well ladies I had a good talk with my dr. Today. He was impressed with my charting and overall knowledge about all this. He said with pcos the two main medications used are the metformin and clomid. But since I'm taking maca, which is natural, I'd rather keep trying this way. I'm going back in another 2 months if the maca doesn't shine through. I was expecting bloodwork and tests if some sort but he said it wasn't necessary at this point. So I guess I'll go back in 2 months if we haven't conceived by then.

I also started spotting again? Wth?? Huge cramp a few minutes ago. Went potty and blam there it is urgh.

Rosa- idk what those circles stand for.. ? My temp is within the hour same time ever day.. So I'm not sure. Idk what's up.. Just waiting it out. Not likely but it'd be amazing if this was Ib. that would be nice

 

[hopeful4bfp]

ok so i have to eat my words about being happy that i would never go through having someone close to me get pregnant... my friend in florida just called me and said that she is late by two months and has only had a little brown spotting with no tissue.... im like ugg i jinxed it... She is the same one that had the sixth sense that someone around her was pg last month but she never found out who it was. i think it is her. She will be a great mom, she has been with her bf for 5 years so they are stable and if she is im happy for her but at the same time im like grrr why..... i told her to go get a test even though she just thinks its her ovaries acting up (she has a condition) even though going 2 months with out af is unusual, shes trying to convince herself that shes not cause its not a good time... im sad .....

ejw- im sorry af got you

 

[AndreaFlorida]

I don't mind someone getting pregnant whose been trying for a while but I gave her a speech about a month ago yelling at her for not using protection for goodness sakes she just dropped out of high school doesn't have a GED or diploma....thats awful....

Anyways watching One Born Every Minute this girl had insemination and OMG twins ones black an ones white so awesome lucky her She Ovulated more than one eggy and used a white donor an a black donor the day after sooooo ONE OF EACH TOOK OMG HOW COOL IS THAT!

I know how you feel hopeful its hard at least shes in a stable relationship thats the good thing...my cousin is with some gothic looking idiot who is a drug addict I feel so bad for this baby maybe I could talk her into letting me adopt the baby...I duno.....I want it so bad to give it a good home with lots of love.....I'm the 2nd person she told I must be something important since I haven't talked to her in just over a month...

This headache is so bad I've vomited twice this is horrible right in the middle feels like I have someone sitting on my head OMG HORRID have awful heartburn too

 

[annie00]

ROSA--- NO bc im in tx working outta town and my MIL called me an told me this today she lives across the sttreet from me.. I flipped out OMG IM SO MAD... Oh hell no team edward.. MMMMMMM i wish he would bite me in my sleep and make me run really fast with him.. OMG YESSSSSSSSSS... lol sorry i just love him

My throat is sore Almost like on my right side.. im not sure if there are two sides in the throat but my right side is sore kinda uncomfortable... and im cramping very noticable on my right side.. feels like some one is stabbing me and forgot to pull the knive out.. guess im getting sick and af is about to show

[Mrs.iwnamkabb]

My temps are weird..

 

[ready4baby]

Yes your temps are weird, Mrs! Still look pre-O, but maybe they are on their way up now? Any more CM?

 

[nypage1981]

Morning!

I hafta go to the doc today. Im so nervous I cant remember anything to answer to anyone so im sorry....im all crazy nervous....so afraid of bad news

Hope everyone is doing well!

 

[rosababy]

Mrs., did you tell your doc about the Maca? What did he say about it? Had he heard of it? Did he say to continue it? Just curious, since I'm on it too...

Why do you have to wait to have bloods or clomid? Was that your choice?
Your chart is weird, I agree. I agree with Ready...they seem to be pre-o. Do you think that was ovulating spotting? Does that exist?? Usually the open circles mean the temp was taken at a different time, but maybe they mean something else. Are you putting in other symptoms, so maybe they're saying that the temps could be affected by an outside factor?? I bet we could find something on FF about it if we searched.

My temp was 97.7 today. I've given up on the 98s. However, like we always say...it's the pattern, not the numbers. And it appears to be a nice biphasic pattern, but I don't know. What do you all think?

Why are you going to the doc? Why are you nervous?? Breathe. Now breathe again. You'll be fine.
