TTC after D&C (Soon)

[CastawayBride]

Brighteyez it sounds to me like your HCG never made it to 0, I would ask for HCG blood work then follow up with blood work two days after to verify if the HCG is going up or if you have really come down to 0. Sadly if you still have HCG you are going to get weird results on both OPK and HPT.

Also, you do not have HCG from ovulation, it only occurs once implantation occurs....I believe that doctor online was referring to a ectopic pregnancy meaning if you get a SUPER early BFP, like 3 DPO then yeah, get checked ASAP as it can be ectopic...sadly it takes time but being proactive with your doctors will help!

3Minions: Congrats!!! So happy for you

Hi everyone! It's been a while since I posted... I got into a pretty bad funk. But all my surgeries are over now and we finally got the go ahead to try and conceive. This is our first time to actually really be trying, and I'm not exactly sure how to track my symptoms. I know my cycle is usually exactly 28 days and I should be starting tomorrow. I've had some pretty bad cramps for the past two weeks and (TMI warning) lots of white discharge. The discharge was so bad today I thought it was my period. Also really tired, and a slight fever last night.. 99.7... I have some cheapo hcg tests that have all come back negative. I took the last one yesterday morning. Anybody ever experienced any of these? I'm afraid I'm reading too much into everything.

Hope you feel better soon!!

Castaway - Have you started testing as yet?

Umm....yes.

LOL! I am addicted to POAS! It doesn't help that I am symptom spotting. I really won't know until at least 2 wks 6 days, that is my record for early positives.

I am 2 weeks 4 days, but believe I ovulated 2 laters then I usually do.

loll I totally understand, I have the same problem! Just have to pee on something I have my fingers and toes crossed for you!

12 dpo tomorrow for me and only 1 test left so I think I will skip tomorrow and just test on thursday before I go to my FS appt. Then we go to jamaica for a long weekend this weekend. I can't wait to get away...... and if no bfp this thursday, I'm definitely going to knock back a few drinks!

lol @ being a hormonal eating machine I was feeling that way over the weekend, but I get like that when AF is coming too so I can't rely on it too much. Still hope this is it for you!

I could see my hormones being out of whack still...def.

I am CD 19, thinking I am going for a 28 day cycle, usually 26 though.

AF came this morning. Trying not to be too sad. Any advice on the best way to predict o this month? I've never really tried anything. My cycle is exactly 28 days.

 

[Tara158505]

temping is the only definite way.. but you have to be loyal to it.. same time every day after your longest sleep before you move a muscle (literally, don't raise or sit up, nothing, just grab your thermometer and temp immediately, I recommend vaginally, same depth each time.) opks are also a good add in since temps tell you after you o.. but since you can get multiple surges on opks before you actually o I highly suggest temping as well and not to stop opks till after o is confirmed by your temps, also it can take up to 3 months to actually make sense of your cycle, but FF will help you each cycle and hopefully youll get pg the first cycle!!

The Clear Blue Fertility Monitor is fantastic! It tells you when to pee on a stick and then it tells you if you have low/high/or ovulating! It tells you before you ovulate so it helps you catch it :thumb up:

So far we have been pregnant first cycle each try with it. It is so easy...but not cheap!

 

[CastawayBride]

I think I am going crazy in my TWW...I see someone talking junk on another board and it made me insane! I really can't stand these arm chair professionals who think they know it all and give bad advice to girls on here!! They should be ashamed of themselves! Ok rant over...now just to get through the work day!! Lol

 

[3Minions]

Niccole, I got so pissed off with my opks that I threw them all out. I figured out my ovulation date over the last few months within 2 days by monitoring my cm and cervix. I think this was the last month where my hormones were finally back to normal - I didn't have much cm at all before January's cycle - but my cervix was still doing its thing....

 

[mj2013]

Hey ladies

Niccole - if you can get the fertility monitor it would probably be best, but if it's too pricey then try to temp your BBT and use OPK's. I started out using the clearblue digital smiley face ones and then moved on to the internet cheapies once I got an idea of how it all worked.

Castaway - Girl I feel you! I rarely go on another board because I just can't be bothered to deal with it. How many dpo are you now?

Brighteyez - any news? did you test using another brand hpt?

afm went to my FS appt today and all went well. We have a few tests we have to do so my next cycle will strictly be testing. Have bloodwork between cd1-3, then HSG cd8-10, DH's semen analysis and then a progesterone test 7 days after O. Then we'll decide our next plan of action. So looks like this next cycle is will be a NTNP for us. I'm ok with it though, I need a little break, I've been going a year of ups and downs, so for February I'm killing the gym!! Hopefully I can lose 6-8lbs and be done with weightloss and just start maintaining. So my only other issue is I am expecting AF this weekend, if she comes on Saturday I'm screwed as we won't be back from jamaica before cd3, for me to do the blood work....so I'm praying she either shows tomorrow or waits till Sunday.......but we all know Murphy's Law so I'm kinda not holding my breath

 

[brighteyez73]

Hello ladies,

The test was a fluke and I but my OPK was positive according to the doctor yesterday. So BD'ing but we have been doing that all week anyway. LOL So hopefully we can catch a egg this time. How is everyone else? Loving the Preseed hope it works this cycle.

Girl you have no idea when I saw it this morning! I was like I know you are talking about me and yes, you still don't know what you are talking about!

Ahh well it gave me a chuckle after I saw it.

I am glad your specialist appt went well! That is good news. It will be nice to take a month off of TTC, I feel you on that. I feel like I have been going none stop since December 2012, well in reality I have been! sigh...

I am thinking of starting a Facebook page for us girls to share our journeys...it can be for those of us who are still trying, those who conceived, just a safe place to vent with other like minds Gonna get around to doing it this weekend I think

bright sorry for the false pos, you chart looks like o had been, now just wait for 3 temps amd then the wait to you bfp!!!

[CastawayBride]

So, not calling it yet as this is definitely a different cycle then my other pregnancies, however, I had what I think is implantation at 5 or so last night. So in history that is 24 hours until I can test. I usually loose a bit of tissue with brown in it and that is what happened.:thumb up:

We shall see in a few days....TWW is torture! ha ha ha It doesn't help, although grateful for, that I ovulated like 2-4 days later then usual...

 

[mj2013]

OMG!! Sound promising!! FX for Tella & Castaway!!!
