Trying for #1, anyone is welcome!

[Dream143r]

something is kinda catching my eye on that

 

[LeeMcMee]

Yeah it’s strange. I don’t trust it yet lol will also test in the morning with frer. Tomorrow I’ll be around 10dpo if I ovulated. Just easier to go by that anyways haha

 

[Nixnax]

So I’m 16dpo today and no AF. 2 BFNs! This is driving me nuts. AF usually arrives on 12/13 dpo. This is the longest cycle ever

 

[Dream143r]

Nixnax - FX it's just slow rising HCG

I got my crosshairs today. Officially 3DPO and 1 week away from testing.

 

[Nixnax]

Good luck dream.

I really wish I had temped this month. I’ve been holding this pee in for 3 hours now. I shall be testing in the next hour. Lol

 

[LeeMcMee]

Dream - My bff who just got prego also said the same thing, that maybe I didn't O. I'm now wondering because now I'm getting cyst type pinching on the left side where I THOUGHT I was Oing from, but I probably had a cyst this whole time. That would explain the left side cramps around O and explain the multiple LH surges... my ovary was probably trying to pop an egg out, but couldn't. I have been wondering if I have PCOS, but I only have some of the symptoms, but I am thinking about calling my doc soon. I hit 6 months now. So all this fertility stuff is still new to me, so what is it that you have if you don't mind me asking? Do you not ovulate? I'm asking because I'm just curious what your signs were that led you to realize. DH also hasn't had his sperm checked, but with my strange temps and pinching I'm now thinking it's me. When I was a teen I used to get cysts because I'd tell my doc the symptoms and she said 'probably cysts, it's nothing' and then I was on BCP for 16 years and 2 years ago I missed a bunch and skipped a period. Did an ultrasound, since all prego tests were BFN, and they saw a large cyst on my left ovary and a smaller one on my right ovary and a fibroid in my uterus. Now I'm wondering if I have more issues down there than I thought

Nix - Glad to hear it has held off!! Annoying that you didn't get a BFP yet. Are there any hint at lines? Grays? My bff got gray lines on her frers for a few days then finally pink. FX and waiting to hear what today's test says. You will be relieved just to pee haha

AFM... I don't even wanna give a DPO now cuz I have come to the conclusion that I have no friggin idea lol I don't even know if I Od and with multiple LH surges I'm lost. So I'm just waiting for AF cuz I'm just feeling out now. AF will be anywhere between Tuesday-Saturday next week I think. Even my 2 apps are confused (FF and Glow). The lines I thought I'm seeing on the frers are the same as lines I thought I saw on frers last month, so I'm moving on from that. My FF app decided to just make a crap ton of days as fertile days... wtf?? Nothing makes sense anymore lol I think if I get my period I will be calling my doctor.

 

[Dream143r]

Fortunately and Unfortunately we don't have any "problems". DH and I have done all the tests, and we both come back for the most part perfectly healthy. DH has had a wonky SA in the past with low Morphology but seemed to just be a one off. All others have been fine. My RE says my reproductive health looks good. So I say good and bad because obviously we want to be healthy but bad because since there's no issue we don't know how to fix it. We have to just accept unexplained infertility and keep trying different things while praying for our

 

[LeeMcMee]

Dang that is SO weird... I always need answers to everything, so that would drive me insane. Sorry to hear. I'm going nuts not know what's up with me, but I also haven't been checked since my regular physical in March and DH hasn't had his sperm checked.

So my friend mentioned thyroid and I think, Dream, you or someone has mentioned that to me before. I do have hypothyroid, but my doc never said anything when I saw her in March. I did find it odd that she said if I need fertility treatment they do it in house (it's a maternity care doc place). I was just reviewing my TSH levels and it's at 4.15 (mIU/L) as of March... I also just found this statement on a forum that a woman wrote.... "Doctor said ideally it should be under 3.5 when trying to conceive."

So that's great... I wonder if it's my thyroid fucking everything up for me... I'm just waiting for AF to come within the week and then I'm calling my doc. I'm so mad that she didn't explain this to me in the beginning, but I wonder if she wanted me to try on my own first of course. I got the labs back AFTER I saw her, but still. I never even paid attention to the 'pregnancy range' down below, CHRIST!!!! She never even brought this up!!

 

[Nixnax]

Here’s the test from today. There was a little greyish line by that was it. I don’t think it’s a line line. We’ll see, I’ll test on Sunday if no af. I keep getting minor cramps like she’s going to come, but doesn’t

 

[LeeMcMee]

Nix - Yeah I see the line as well, FX! That's like what I was seeing on mine, but yours is even better.

I'm still due for my period within a week, but I got frustrated regarding my TSH levels so I called my doc and just heard back.

My doctor wants me to call Boston IVF (after I call my insurance) to see about getting in with them. I'm a "good candidate" for formal infertility... fantastic. This is due to my previous miscarriage, cysts, thyroid, probably my weight as well... so I will be calling my insurance soon and then making an apt with Boston IVF or another clinic if it's not covered. Doc had said they could give me a better dosage of my thyroid med, but it's not guaranteed that it will help me conceive. I mean hey I've always wanted twins lolol DH and I often joke about that because we always say watch we fight to have 1 baby and we will end up with twins or triplets. So I told him once if I end up needing IVF we would most likely have twins haha. We only really wanted 1 baby, MAYBE 2, but if twins happy I'm all for it. Our bank account wont be all for it tho lol.

 

[Nixnax]

Well AF didn’t arrive today either.

That’s good that you’ve been offered the help Lee. It’s a nightmare in the uk for fertility assistance. We have to try for a year first. This month marks a year that we’ve trying. Really hoping it’s a bfp tomorrow, or I will really throw my toys out of pram lol

 

[needausername]

Ireland fertility treatment has to be paid for. Not sure if insurance will even cover it. Saying that, way easier to get blood tests done in Ireland than uk. UK GPS are incredibly selective about what bloods they do and how often!

I wore myself out by being out with friends all day. I ended up having to take a nap when I got home at 6.30 and only woke up an hour ago. Oops!

 

[LeeMcMee]

Welcome Need!

I was shocked they’d even mention it after 6 months especially because I didn’t bring it up. She said changing my thyroid med dosage wouldn’t guarantee to help me conceive. But I’m almost 33, had a previous MC, have hypothyroid, ovarian cysts... so I guess that’s why. My friend went to the same place and said they like to get working on it ASAP when you’re in your 30s since after 35 a baby has higher risk of medical issues. I have to get a referral from my doc to give to my insurance and I have to confirm with insurance what’s covered. I know with my insurance things are usually 80% covered and I pay 20% out of pocket. That’s gonna add up, but worth it.

My friend thinks she sees a v faint pink line on my frer today but I’m not so sure. Do have bad af cramps and pinching on left side so I had to take ibuprofen. Still feel like I’m gonna get my period tho

 

[Stella2018]

Hi ladies,

I have missed so much.

Dream - I have my fx so hard for you. Women can get positives as much as 2 weeks after AF is due (and sometimes longer) so it's still possible. Let us know when you test again tomorrow. I really really hope this is it for you.

Lee - Girl this sucks!! I am so sorry to see these updates; I am definatelynall for going to the doc. I don't aee any reason to wait with concerns like these. Even if AF shows I think you should go. Like you I can't habdle the "what ifs"

Welcome Need! And we all gotta take some time to have fun and relax 😁

Cd11. Started on thr OPKs. We're on our way to a friends party tonight so that will be fun - tomorrow is gonna be a slow day at gome before another work week. I hope I get some amazing news from you ladies this week!

 

[Stella2018]

Argh. I need to read what I write before posting.

NIX that post abive was for you.

Dream - Hows it going? Did you hit O yet? Jow are you feeling this cycle?

So sorry.
Also if I missed anyone, my apologies - I was been following day to day up until Wednesday or so. I am not sure if I replied to all. Xo

 

[Stella2018]

Annnd... i still didn't read first and made some weird typos. I'm done lol. I will check in tomorrow. Love you ladies. Sorry.

 

[LeeMcMee]

Is this just an indent line? Friend thinks she sees pink. Two different close up shots of the same test

 

[Nixnax]

Lee I see pink I the 2nd pic

AFM - af got me today, 5 days late and an hour after I test bfn. I’m sick and tired of this process now. It’s been a year! Im visiting the docs in the next couple of weeks to ask for tests

 

[LeeMcMee]

Frers are driving me nuts! Faint faint positive or indent? I keep getting these lines

 

[Dream143r]

Nixnax - Oh man, so sorry. The late period just completely toys with your emotions eh? Hopefully you can get an appointment soon and find out what's going on.

Lee- I see pink on the close up, the second pic. FX

AFM - CD19/6DPO/6DPIUI, TWW is going well. Very relaxed and time is going by pretty quickly. Friday is just around the corner.
