TTC #1- Looking for buddies!

[SunnyBe]

Wow, those are some huge follies I'm surprised they were still there actually!! How much IU did you trigger with? Depending on the dose, it can take 10+ days for it to completely leave your body, so there goes testing early! I triggered with half a dose and could still see a line 7 days after triggering.

I really have a good feeling for the three of you!!

Amber, the doctor probably suggested that because sperm needs time to regenerate. The best samples usually take 2-3 days of abstinence.

Have a great Christmas girls!!

Sunny that’s what I was thinking! But I was getting ewcm before the scan so I knew Onwould be coming one way or another! I don’t know about IU.. just said it was 250mcg? I’ll have to look again. Yeah no early testing lol which is probably good for me! I have been having O pains today already so I’m curious when I’ll actually get the rise. My bet is still on Christmas!

Merry Christmas!!

 

[AmberR]

Merry Christmas ladies! Hope you all have a wonderful holiday celebration

 

[Dream143r]

Amber - we both get crosshairs today! woo hoo.

TB - looks like you're prediction will be right with a Christmas morning temp rise. Thanks Santa

 

[AmberR]

Yay for crosshairs dream!

Will be checking to see your temp rise in the morning tb!

 

[tbfromlv]

Merry Christmas girls! Hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday!

 

[AmberR]

You got your temp rise tb!
Merry Christmas everyone

 

[tbfromlv]

Just as I had suspected! How was everyone’s Christmas?

 

[AmberR]

My Christmas was ok, very busy! We have a lot of family to see so it can be exhausting, but I love it anyway!

My temp dropped today and have been having some mild cramps, might be a good sign? Time will tell!

 

[Dream143r]

Amber 5dpo is a little early I guess but FX it's a nice implantation dip!

 

[AmberR]

Ya dream you are right. Wishful thinking I guess

 

[tbfromlv]

Hey just because it’s not the most common, doesn’t mean it isn’t possible!

 

[AmberR]

True! Earlier in the month I told myself I would wait until AF was overdue to test but I found myself thinking today- only 5 more days to 10 dpo and I can test! Haha!

 

[SunnyBe]

Love seeing those beautiful charts girls 5 days may be a little bit too early but maybe you're off a day with ovulation. Keeping everything crossed!

Hope y'all had a great Christmas. Ours was nice and quiet, just the way we like it lol.

Agreed, Sunny, some gorgeous charts going on here! I was so sorry to hear that your first transfer didn't work. We go into it knowing that the chances of it working are lower than the chances of it not working, but it is still gutting. I've just caught up on your blog too- interesting post from your hubby about American vs. European fertility doctors. When will you know exactly when your FET will take place?

When are all you two week waiters going to test??

Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas. Hubby and I spent it on our own for the first time ever, but saw family on Christmas Eve and Boxing Day, all in all it was very enjoyable.

We have our next appointment with our clinic next Thursday so will discover more about our FET timeline then, providing they are satisfied with how I'm recovering. I hate admitting it, but I don't feel at all excited about anything, which is a little concerning. I just feel a bit numb about everything.

 

[tbfromlv]

Amber I am ALWAYS the same way! Lol

I got my crosshairs today! Because I took the trigger shot I don’t want to test too early. So I think I will wait until 12 dpo which is January 5. That’s a full two weeks after the shot so I should be good.

Steph- that’s very normal. I’m sure once you set a plan about your FET you will feel excited again. You’re still in limbo land so it makes it hard to be excited, especially after all you went through! How are you feeling physically?

Sunny what is your plan? When do you return to Prague?

 

[AmberR]

Steph- I hope your appointment on Thursday goes well! Once you have a plan in place maybe you will feel more excited about it. You have been through a lot and have been so strong through it all!

Tb- Yay for crosshairs!

I'll probably wait until 10-12 dpo so New years eve or the couple days after. I'm working over that weekend so hoping that will keep my mind off testing!! We will see how that goes

I had another spike this morning. FX my chart goes triphasic but maybe it's just a fluke temp. I woke up around 230am to pee and I usually just sleep though the night. So that may have disrupted my temp.

When I woke up to pee though the weirdest thing. As soon as I put my feet down on the ground I gasped from excruciating pain in my right ankle. I hobbled to the washroom and just hoped it would be gone by morning. Well, it's not. Someone at work is suggesting maybe it's Gout?!?! I don't know anything about Gout. I for sure didn't injury it yesterday I was fine. It's not swollen or bruised or anything but just to touch it hurt and walking is horrible. I almost cried putting my boot on. Anyways, I'm drinking lots of water and praying it passes soon, whatever it is.

This week was also the first Wednesday I've not been to acupuncture since starting my weekly sessions 6 weeks ago. (My ND is on vacation for 2 weeks, see her again January 10). No way that's related right?

 

[tbfromlv]

FXd that’s a good sign Dream!

As for the foot thing, that is awfully strange. Does it feel like it’s in the ligaments and tendons or the bones? I don’t know much about gout but from what I do know,it does sound like what you described. I don’t think it has anything to do with missing acupuncture though! If it doesn’t go away in a few days, I’d say go get it checked out!... after getting sick last cycle I did read that your body sometimes will lower it’s immune system to allow for implantation! So maybe that’s what’s going on? Just throwing some ideas out

AFM- I keep dreaming of little ones. No other symptoms yet but only 4dpo here. Looking back, I never had any obvious symptoms anyhow lol I think knowing I can’t test early is making the tww more bareable

 

[AmberR]

Dream and tb your temps are looking so good! Mine are kind of all over the place. I hope that's Ok! I guess it's fine since they are still over the coverline. I've been wondering why they are so much lower than other charts I have seen.

Dream, it's strange that your ankle pain came out of nowhere! From what I understand about gout is it normally shows up in toes and fingers, but I guess it could show up in any joint. If it doesn't get better in a few days I would get it checked out! I don't think it would have anything to do with skipping acupuncture though.

Several ladies at work are pregnant. People keeping saying to me "be careful, or you'll be next." As if that's a bad thing... and then I had a coworker complaining that she would rather be partying over the holidays but instead she is stuck feeling crappy because of being pregnant. I kind of wanted to smack her.

Gosh, this TWW is hard! I so just want to know! If I'm not pregnant this cycle, I just would like to move on. I'm just feeling kind over it right now. I think the holidays make it worse. Anyway, sorry to be a Debbie downer!

On a more positive note I think I'll go shopping today or tomorrow and spend my Christmas gift cards
