TTC#2 and SO EXCITED! join me

[HappyCpl]

Looking at your temps, it looks like today is O day. Maybe you are releasing 2 or may we you tried to on day 12 and it didn't happen. I bet you have a temp jump tomorrow. Honey, I don't get it either. I went to the dr on day 21 and didn't have a follie big enough to OV but yet I did the very next day? None of this is making sense to me anymore with charting. What is important is you have your days covered. Unfortunately, We didn't Try to relax now and let nature take its course. You have done all you can do at this point. You have your specialist appt set up? It'll happen hun.

Thanks Happy - Yes I think today could be the day only thing putting me off is the previous solid opk, and my cm is gone back to creamy again and I've almost no cramps. Going to keep doing it. Would be so delighted if I got two solid smileys today or tomorrow - would explain everything!

looks like we are both having a confusing cycle Happy!

Fertility clinic called me this morning. They had an apt for 30th July but we are away and the witch is due that week so I put it of to the 7th August. Said they will probably do a few blood tests and maybe scans. Excited that's its happening but devastated that it has actually came to these measures.

 

[HappyCpl]

Oh confusing is an understatement. I understand your frustrations, but at least you are moving forward with a plan. That is what's important. I went to go pick up my Clomid for next cycle and the pharmacy wouldn't let me have both so I could take the 100mg. WTH? She said my insurance would only let me have 5 not 10. My insurance doesn't cover it anyway... Then she said that's how my dr called it in... So I just called his office. I also left a message with the nurse as I needed to ask some questions about my labs that we didn't get to discuss as he was off to a delivery.

 

[banana07]

Oh that's annoying about your clomid Happy - At least you went to get it now and not the day you were due to take it - at least you have a couple of days to get it sorted but of course fx you won't need it. You did say tho that you don't think your covered bding wise. When did you bd??

 

[HappyCpl]

4 days before and 2 days after. We were both so down after going to the dr we didn't feel up to it. ESP when we were told I prob wouldn't ovulate soon if at all...

 

[HappyCpl]

Labs are all within normal limits. Calling in a new script too. So now... We wait...

 

[banana07]

Oh that is quite a gap. Least it must be nice not to be driving yourself crazy in the tww. I am just sitting on the bed waiting for opk results to flash up at me. Oh there it is blank on the regular digi which was smiley this morning and flashing on the advanced. Seriously not one bit of consitency all week grrr....

I have a feel I won't ov this month at all its just teasing me. I am sure I haven't ov'd yet due to temps of course but also the flashing smiley predicts estrogen and that is meant to be pretty low after you ov so I doubt it would pick it up if I had O'd. So the solid opk this morning is another mystery!!!

 

[elt1013]

Oh dear I seem to have taken over this thread over the weekend with my annoying and confusing opks!!! Hope no one minds its just so confusing and frustrating and it getting worse! As it turns out my positive on the advanced was not negative as I read on the clearblue website that if you get a flashing smiley it will disappear after 8mins but if you get a solid one it will stay on the screen for 48hours so you cannot test again. Of course I checked after that which was exactly 48hours and it was gone. Stick is working perfectly again now. But Now I have

CD10 - am - Negative on Advanced
CD10 - pm - Flashing on Advanced
CD11 - am - Flashing on Advanced
CD11 - pm - Flashing on Advanced
CD12 - am - Solid on Advanced & Negative on Standard Digi
CD12 - pm - (solid smiley remained so I thought it was broke so opened a new advanced kit 2). Negative on Advanced 2 & Negative on Standard Digi
CD13 - am - Negative on both advanced & Digi
CD13 - pm - Negative on both advanced & Digi
CD14 - am - Negative on both advanced & Digi
CD14 - pm - Flashing on Advanced & Negative on standard digi
CD15 - am - Flashing on Advanced & Solid on standard digi

FF had given me crosshairs for CD11 - which I really thought was off but when I put what I now know wasn't a false positive on the advanced digi as positive on CD12 it took them away.

I worked ahead last night and if my temps had stayed up for the next 3 days it would give me crosshairs for CD12 which would have made more sense.

But of course that would be to straight forward had a huge temp dip this morning 36.1/ 97.07 checked it 3 times and was the same everytime. And the positive OPK this morning...


I think we are covered for bding either way and I know that's what matters but its just so frustrating. Maybe I'm not going to Ov at all this month and I Just keep gearing up to but the follies aren't mature enough? I did take clomid this month but it wasn't as effective last month as it was the 1st month progesterone went from 150 - 80 on the same dose so maybe its even less this month. I have read a lot of things about clomid stopping working or becoming less effective as the cycle goes on hence why people have to up their dose. I think Mama had the same problem.

Sorry for the long rant but as I said super frustrated!

How is everyone else this morning??

Relax banana...maybe the digis weren't wrong at all! It looks to me like your body tried to ovulate (hence the positives), but didn't and is trying again right now! I had this happen to me a couple times too...so frustrating and confusing!!

Not to be nosey happy, but when did you bd this cycle? The one month I thought we didn't have a chance because we only bd once (compared to several times other months) was the month I got pregnant! And remember runnergrl got preg from one bd also!!

 

[elt1013]

Oh sorry happy...I missed your post about the bding...there is still a slight chance though!

 

[elt1013]

Oh ladies...I'm so sorry about all the confusion you are having. I don't miss those days at all!! Just remember that all of this is for good reason and keep your heads up

 

[HappyCpl]

Thank you Elt. I read they can live up to six days. But I'm not going to hold onto hope this month. If it happens, praise God, but if it doesn't, oh well better luck next time. It feels pretty good to feel so laid back this time. Haha. My bbs are terrible sore and have been since the day of OV so maybe it really did happen. My body thinks so anyways. Haha. I just don't want to take the Provera so if AF is gonna show, I hope she comes in her own.

 

[HappyCpl]

How are you feeling Elt?

 

[elt1013]

Pretty good...now that I'm past all the sickness for the most part. I'm feeling him wiggle and kick a lot now, and I can definitely feel that he's growing a ton, lol! Body aches seem worse this pregnancy, but that's probably because I'm heavier this time around. I have got to get around to getting some boy clothes though, as we have a ton of girl stuff, but no boy stuff.

 

[banana07]

Hey ELt thanks for you posts. God how exciting to feel him moving around!! That part freaked me out the last time but I was young and unprepared - hoping to enjoy it more this time! Can't believe your half way there

Yeah I think I have given up on the opks, last night was a flashing advanced and blank standard same again this morning. We have dtd lots and will try it again tonight, although I think we are both reaching our limit!

Slight temp rise this morning but still below normal hopefully it will go up tomorrow again otherwise I guess I'm not ovulating.

I was starting to have cold feet about the ivf even tho we haven't even went for the appointment yet but after seeing them stupid opks this morning again I just want it to be over and done with now. I hope they let us go straight for ivf I don't want to waste time with their low odds on iui. Seriously loosing patience. In a very bad mood today don't know why to I this dtd tonight will be a struggle and it won't even be like a nice cuddle in bed - DH is leaving for work at 8.30pm so we will have to dtd between 6pm & 8.30pm just not very romantic but then again can't complain sex has been ridiculously good the last few days dunno why just on a good streak I suppose!!

 

[banana07]

Driving myself nuts - have just decided no more opks this cycle just temping and lots more bding.

I worked ahead on ff again and if my temp had rose enough this morning and for next 2 day I would get crosshairs for CD15 (yesterday), if my temp rises sharp enough tomorrow and following 2 days I'll get crosshairs for CD16 (today) or if it rises slowly for the next 4 days I'll get crosshairs for CD17 (tomorrow).

Really loosing hope this month feel so out already and I haven't even ovulated yet.

 

[banana07]

No temp rise this morning grrrr.... have a feeling I'm not going to ov at all now Typical after the HSG your meant to be super fertile but I can't even pop out a bloody egg and of course I had the silly romantic notion of being one of those people who get pregnant just after they book their IVF consultation. Seriously pissed off

 

[HappyCpl]

I'm sorry banana. It'll happen Hun. Don't be so hard on yourself.

 

[banana07]

Thanks happy. God I wish I was happy! Having a huge eight with dh he won't talk to me at all won't even look at me. I was really upset all day today been in tears half of it went on a wee rant when I got home about ivf only having 41% chance of giving us a baby etc etc and he just went mad saying he was so so sick of me being pessimistic all time never ever thinking positive. He has no idea how much harder this is for me I know its hard for him too but he doesn't have to deal with poas every bloody day, taking medication that messes up your hormones., getting bloods taken every month, seeing the negative pregnancy tests., constantly trying to find New ways to try., having horrible painful dye injected into you or doctors sticking their hand up your good China. Longing not just for a child but to be pregnant.
And if i really wanted to go into it I could tell him the reason glee been so pessimistic over the last few years is because, I got sick of being optimistic Joe being constantly disappointed mostly because of

 

[banana07]

Because of him and his actions over previous years.

Sorry now rant over :'(
