TIE WELCOME JACK, HENRY, DEVON, ROXAS, PENELOPE, MATILDA, THEO and Charlotte!!

[MrsStutler]

Well as much as I tried not to get my hopes up...I still did and I'm getting my punishment for it now. I just went to the bathroom to find I'm spotting. AF should be here full force tomorrow. I knew I shouldn't have gotten all excited. I'm going to go slink into bed and eat a pint of Ben and Jerry's. Maybe next cycle will be the one. I just wish I didn't have such long ass cycles and could figure out how to get my LP to lengthen without weaning. *sigh*

Sorry mrs s that sucks.

 

[Jess19]

so sorry mrs.s that stinks
From what I know nursing and ttc don't mix its the bodys natural birth control. I hate to say it but as long as your nursing its going to be kinda difficult ttc I hope it works for you, it has worked for many though!

 

[MrsStutler]

Yeah, I know I'm working against my body on this and that's what is so frustrating. I have so many friends who got pregnant while still nursing too. I guess I'll have to find some patience and just try again.

[mammag]

Aww Sorry Mrs. S. Maybe it's just some mid LP spotting? I doesn't even seem possible to have a 3 days lp, and your temps didn't drop? So maybe it's not truly AF just yet.

 

[amommy]

Mrs S I think it depends on your body and how it reacts to Breastfeeding.. I have a stubborn body and I don't have a period for a year while breastfeeding! Some of my friends get their cycle back at 6 wks.. Just depends on your own body chemistry.. LETS HOPE yours is not like mine!!
I did an FSH test from the store today, and it looks like that might be my problem. It says to use FMU on day 3, and I did this one in the evening so that might be why it was darker.. who knows! Don't know anything about those! The test line was almost as dark as control, they said it has to be dark as or darker to be a high FSH but mine was close so that is not really good news.. But IM not young so that is probably contributing

Here is the test, the line is not quite as dark, but it certainly is darker than I would have liked it.. Any thoughts?

 

[MrsStutler]

Well AF is here full force as predicted. Now I'm off the my last day of work! Trying to keep myself positive this morning.

 

[Jess19]

so sorry the nasty old witch showed Mrs.s

Amommy maybe its because of the afternoon and not FMU.
Have you thought about having your dr do a blood test to check?

 

[amommy]

yea jess insurance doesn't cover fertility but its ok

 

[mammag]

I'm sorry Mrs. S That sucks.

Amommy, that is pretty dark, but maybe you have to use FMU for a reason? Maybe it would be lighter then?? I took one of those, I'll see if I can find the pic of mine.

 

[mammag]

Here was mine. It was with FMU on CD 3.

 

[amommy]

Oh, mine is kinda dark then that is what I thought! Although I spotted a day and they count that as day 1, so it may have been day 4, and they say that its 18% or so higher on Day 4, so lets hope that is what it is!
Thanks mammag for sharing

 

[MrsStutler]

Woo-hoo...30 more minutes and I will be officially unemployed! Lol

 

[mammag]

lol, 20 more minutes!!!!!!!!

 

[MrsStutler]

Wow. It's been a busy day today. I worked a whole 9 hours for my last day. That's the first time I have worked a "full" day since having Roxas and it was not as bad as I thought it would be. I only managed to pump about 7 ounces throughout the day (pumping every 2hrs) which worries me a little bit but there isn't a lot I can do about it. Roxas was pretty good for Grandma and Grandpa although he apparently had a few meltdowns for them. My mom, dad and grandma (who lives with them) got into a huge fight too. Fan-tastic. We went over to a friends house and had a ton of fun in the pool with Roxas and he got to soak up a load of love from all our friends, plus I got to drink. Now it's raining outside and I'm loving listening to the pitter patter of rain drops outside. I must say the desert does have a unique, wonderful smell to it when it rains. Overall I've had a pretty nice last day.

This month I am really pulling out all of my tricks to try and get this eggy. It's annoying that I know what the problem is but the solution is to either wean Roxas (which is a no-go for me) or time (and I'm not a patient person). I'm continuing my 150mg dose of B-complex vitamins, and I'm also adding in some agnus castus since it helps counteract progesterone which, thanks to the BFing, is contributing to my super short LP. I have some progesterone cream for after ovulation too. I'm really trying everything I possibly can to make this happen, I just hope it works. Maybe we will be bump buddies Grace!!!

Amommy, I did one of those too but I also had my dr do bloods which my ins doesn't cover fertility but there are other reasons to check hormones. I guess it's all in the coding PLUS idk if u r in the states but as of aug 1 all paps, bc and preconception is covered by insurance. It's the law, might want to look into it!
Mrs S I tried to conceive while bf towards the end (at a year and a half) I had my cycle by then but since I was in my late 30's it was thinking my lining too much, once a stopped I got a bfp but it didn't stick. Has he started on food or u exclusively bf? Once u start nursing less u chances are much greater. I'm not suggesting you stop (Lord knows I did it for two full very long years) but its just something to think about until he starts solids it may be tough:/ good luck.
Grace does the clomid effect your cm? I never had ewcm and could still get pregnant but when I took clomid, I was dry as a bone and at that point iui was my only option.
I too can't wait for someone to poas. It's been over a year since I've been deprecated and now divorced but I love the ttc/baby stuff (that's y I'm still with y'all) I have a box full of all kinds of things to pee on but no sense in doing that. I really should sell it before they expire. I have a frfm and could probably get a good dime for it.
So instead of ttc, I travel . Off to savannah for a few days. I'll be stocking. Have a great day ladies!

***thinning
Separated

 

[mammag]

It kills my CM, I never got real good EWCM anyway, so the Clomid just completely takes it all away. Which is why I'm excited about the IUI. I think I'm going to try Femara (sp?) if IUI doesn't work this month. I love my doc, when I tell him I want to do something, he sets it right up. So glad I found him.
