Lucky CB thread 7!

I'm here! :) Just got back from the lab. It took me longer to get there and back than it did to actually get the blood draw.

They send the bloodwork to the hospital who will in turn call my doctor. I *should* have the results this afternoon, but I'm not holding my breath :rolleyes:

Oh Lynn, that has to be agonizing!!! I just can't wait to hear.....

I can't wait for your news Lynn!!!

Amanda

Another one who can hardly wait. I can't imagine how you must feel...

Oh good grief!! Can't they just tell you!?!?!?!

Still waiting...

Amanda

Lynn does the spotting mean anything on your chart since you spotted a few times now ? Does any one know what that might mean ?

I don't think so. Obviously, where she has marked menses there is a huge temp drop so that was probably implantation. Everything is probably just the little stinker setting up his/her home for the next nine months. (i.e. babies will burrow down into the uterus causing spotting.)

I wonder how many views this brand new thread will have by the end of the day?

Alot! Especially if it takes alot longer to get Lynn's news!!! :lol:

Amanda

Just to lighten things up around here a little....

Hey Eva and Nicki!! How are you guys feeling these days? :awink: Eva - your chart is looking great so far!! :woo:

:coffee: .............................:popcorn:............................... :shuffle: ....................

Poor Lynn, all this obsessing for her :lol:

Good questions, Shannon! May I also ask the same of you?

I was out running errands this morning but I called my sister to check on Lynn!!! SO IMPATIENT!! So Lynn, do you see an OB or a regular family doctor? My OB asked me that yesterday.

even Dori's OB is getting impatient!! :lol:

I don't know why we are all so impatient. We know she is preggers!

Yeah but it will make it more Surreal when we hear it ,thats why were all so impatient :heee: :ura1: :ura1: :ura1: :ura1: !!!!! :shuffle: :shuffle: :shuffle:

Thanks Jenny I was hoping that wasn't a bad thing . Now look at me studing her chart :blush: !! I'm just so anxious for her !!! :shuffle:

I want to hear the confirmation!

Amanda

I'm dying over here! COME ON ALREADY! I was really hoping that I wouldn't have to call them.

I saw you were the last post and got excited. grrr!!!

Call them! Call them!

I'm giving them until 3:45. They close at 4:30 (again, slackers!)

You guys are soooooo not helping the obsessing :lol2:

Oh, and Dori, I see a OB. I have an OB/Gyn, but I normally see a NP.

:bullhorn:

CALL THEM !!!!!!!!!!!!!


:ura1: :ura1: :ura1: :ura1: :ura1: :ura1: :ura1: :ura1: :ura1: :ura1:

COME ON YOU KNOW YOU WANT TOO !!!!:supergrin

30 minutes to go !!!!!!!

Lynnie, for the love of anything, CALL THEM NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And here is a logical jusification....AHEM.........explanation: what if they don't answer because they are busy, and then, since they are slackers, they won't call you before they close today? Do you seriously want us ALL to self-implode here????????

I'm starting a chant: CALL CALL CALL CALL CALL CALL (maybe if i put all this colors that entirely clash with each other, you'll call sooner??)

Still waiting....

Amanda

P.S: Sorry I got a little exclamation mark happy there.....I'm sorry, but i'm not editing:shuffle:

Are you calling yet ????? :shuffle:

I bet you guys keep hitting the new posts button huh ? :lol:

Do you seriously want us ALL to self-implode here????????



:locolaugh


She is right. If you wait too long they may not have time to return your call today. You should probably go ahead and call! :lol:

I called.

For the love of God! I was re-routed to the office on the other side of town because everyone in my office is in a freaking meeting!!! :tantrum: :tantrum: :tantrum:

The receptionist shot them an email and said I needed to know. Good thing I wasn't holding my breath or anything :rolleyes:

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww Come On !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:tearhair:


And this is for the damn person who called the damn meeting......... :fryingpan

Oh man!

Amanda

i'm trying hard not to hyperventilate here..............

i'm trying hard not to hyperventilate here..............

You and me both, sister!

Can you call again ? I bet you wont find out today !!! That will stink !! This is the only thing keeping my mind off of my probs. at the dr. office today !!! Come on OB call back now !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!


I just looked up my HCG levels and I just happened to be 4w3d on my first draw and it was only 156 and look at me now. I'm sure everything is great! I am so excited for you. So when are you due?

LYNN, I'm sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo so so so very happy for you!!!!!!!!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!:ura1: :bfp: :knitting: :jump2: :dancingpi :rahrah: :jump:

I AM SO fookING HAPPY FOR YOU I CAN HARDLY STAND IT!!!! :banana: :yippee: :jump: :banana: :pickle: :yippee:

Shannon! :lol: NO puking! I had enough of that with Aaron thank you very much! :lol:

I'm due on 9/27 which is 5 days after my 35th birthday. I said I wanted to be done having babies at 35. I guess I got my wish ;)

And, thank you all for being such an amazing group of women! I honestly don't know what I would do without you all! :hug99: You all certainly helped me pass the time today! :) You guys ROCK! :bowdown:

PS, Tabitha, you can change me to CD32 ;)

:woo: Yay Lynn!! I am so excited for you!!

PS, Tabitha, you can change me to CD32 ;)

You are so funny! :lol:

Coming out of lurking to say congratulations Lynn

Lynn!!! :woo: :yippee: I am soooo happy for you CONGRATS!!

Sorry I missed all of the anticipation all day! :lol: How could you stand it? I would be driving over there to get in their face.

Keeping everything crossed that your numbers double! :crossfing

Shannon, I am doing OK. Not enough bding to get a BFP though. Plus dh has made some poor choices choosing golfing over family so I am withholding SEX! :devil: That should give him something to think about if he is in that situation again.

Girls I waited all day to ask this because I was more forcused on Lynn and trying to forget my problem for awhile but I just found out today that my heart maybe enlarged or have a shadow around it , I had xrays done today . I have to wait for my Dr. to talk to the radiologist because he saw the enlarged heart or a shadow around it and didn't want to lean one way or the other on it until he talked to the Radiologist . Do you think we can keep TTC since this is my week to do so ? My husband asked me today if it was wise to keep trying ? He asked if I asked any questions but who can ask questions after a bomb shell is dropped like that , it took all I had to hold my crying in and as soon as I got to the car I just started crying after my husband was trying to figure out what was going on . I would really like to keep trying until I find out but is it safe for me to do so ? Thanks In Advance Girls!!!

Oh Tabitha. I'm SO sorry. When will you get the results? I'm not sure about the BDing. Maybe just ask your doctor or your OB?

Thank you for being so sweet and supportive! :bighug:

Oh Tabitha. I'm SO sorry. When will you get the results? I'm not sure about the BDing. Maybe just ask your doctor or your OB?

Thank you for being so sweet and supportive! :bighug:

I'm suppose to get my results back either tomorrow or Thursday , but my nerves are about shot because all I have been doing is worrying so much and crying .

Sorry for harrassing you today :bighug: but that really kept my mind off of me today so I was more glad to be focused on you then me .

Thank you Lynn your a real sweetheart and I'm am so happy for you !!! :bighug:

Oh Tabitha, I am so sorry to hear that. I really hope everything is okay. :bighug:

Lynn....... :ura1: :ura1: :ura1: :ura1: :ura1: :ura1: :ura1: :ura1: I am SOOOOO happy for you!! I just knew it!! So I have to ask.. are you going to continue to go to the same OB office?? My OB asked today if you went to an OB because he couldn't believe an OB would make that mistake. Anyway, YOU ARE PREGGERS!!!!!!!

Oh Tabitha, I am so sorry to hear that. I really hope everything is okay. :bighug:



Thank you Dori , so do I so I can put my mind at ease !!

Tabitha - I would just call your OB in the morning. Here are my two cents....If it isn't a big deal to be pregnant with a condition like that then it is no big deal. However, if it is a condition where pregnancy can aggravate it then you have to think about yourself and being around for your hubby and the two wonderful children you already have.

I hope you get some answers very soon. Please keep us updated as you find out information. :hug1:

I am so sorry Tabitha. :bighug: I hope you get some answers soon. :hug99:

Thanks Jenny , I don't have an OB yet . I will ask my regular dr. though as soon as I find out . Jenny you are so sweet !!! I'm glad I have you guys !! I love you all !!! :grouphugg , your such a great support team !! :cry: :hb:

Tabitha, it didn't bother me at all! I was glad for the distraction :)

I agree with Jenny about pregnancy aggravating (or worse, worsening) the condition. Lots of hugs to you.

:ura1: :ura1: :ura1: CONGRATS LYNN :ura1: :ura1: :ura1:

sooooo annoyed I couldn't get on all day to hear the news but I am here now and so thrilled for you! I think your numbers are great, my numbers at 3 weeks 6 days was only 31 with Aiden so even doubling that every 2 days doesn't get that to your numbers now!!!

So exciting I hope you have a happy healthy pregnancy! September babies are great :awink: (the 27th is my hubbys bday too)

Tabitha: I am so sorry you got this news, how scary for you, but try not to stress (i know easier said than done).. I agree 100% with Jenny, you need to find out if you do have this condition if pregnancy puts pressure on it, you need to be there for the children you do have, so ask your dr before you do anything! :hug99:

So I guess we won't BD anymore until I find out then . Thank you guys !! I will update as soon as I find out .

:hug99: tabitha!

Tabitha, I hope you get good news at your doctors :hug99:

Thank you Girls !!

We were lying in bed tonight talking and well one thing led to another and well we BD'd tonight . Sorry girls !! I know I should listen but I think I needed that the way I have felt all day .

Tabitha, I'm so sorry you are going through this! I hope that this doesn't present any difficulties in getting your baby...I do agree with others, talk to your dr first (well, after tonight:heee: )..:hug99:



Lynn, what a great EDD....DH and I got married on September 27!! It's meant to be:ura1: ! CONGRATULATIONS again, so happy for you!!:ura1:

I was looking at this thread in the Search Forums and couldn't understand how it jumped from page 1 to page 5 in less than 24 hours... :locolaugh

:ura1::ura1::ura1: OMG, Lynn, I am SO thrilled for you, you can't imagine!!! :ura1::ura1::ura1:


Tabitha - :hug99: I am so sorry about the x-ray results. First and foremost I hope it is something that won't affect TTCing. However, if it does affect your health in such a way that TTCing could put you at greater risk, then ITA with the others. It breaks my heart to say this but you have a wonderful husband and 2 great kids who need you. :hug99: I hope and pray you will get good news. :hug99:

Ok Dr's on the board!! I have a question!! I am really getting nervous about all the blood I am losing. This is going to be TMI but I need to know...
Saturday I started only what could be AF. The flow was pretty heavy and I had a lot of clotting. I was going through a super tampon every 1-2 hours. This continued until Tuesday. Then the heavy clotting stopped and now it's just VERY heavy bleeding. Still tampons every 1-2 hours. I have already gone through a box of 40 and am now on my second box. Is this normal? Do I need to be concerned? Most importantly: Am I going to bleed to death?

History: Dec 6 I had HSG. Jan 9th diagnosed with cysts. I was having extreme cramping and pains. Not sure if they ruptured or not. The lady that called me with the results said they did. My OB/GYN said they did not. :dunno:

Please help me figure out what is going on. Should I make another appt to see my OB/GYN or just go to the emergency room? I am really nervous at this point. Today marks 6 days of VERY heavy bleeding!

If you are bleeding that heavy, I would call the OB office this morning and ask them what you should do.

I'd call your doctor, but many of my periods are like that. Usually though they are provera induced periods and after several months of no AF. 6 days is a long time to be bleeding that heavy!

That sounds scary! I'd also call your OB at once!

I agree, I would call your OB this morning. If this is not something that is a "typical" period for you, then I would certainly get it looked into.

Sorry about AF Andrea.

I'd call your doctor's office 1st thing today and ask for advice. You're probably ok but it's better to be safe than sorry. If you're feeling light-headed or dizzy, that would be more concerning.

Amanda

I had something like that happen almost a year ago!!! I was going through a super tampon every 30 min!!!
I went to the ER and the dr told me I was having breakthrough bleeding and that it should stop within a few days.. and it did.. But I'd still go in if I were you, cause that is alot of blood loss! Good luck!

Ok.. I'm asking a ? for my little sister and no that you'll all probly have a better answer for her! Her periods are extremely REGULAR!!.. and shes one week late. She's taken 4 tests and all have been negative. Is it to early for her to test and get a clear result? She's pretty freaked out!! She's an RN and wants to do a blood test, but won't yet because she doesn't want everyone at her work finding out (this is quite a surprise) if she does happen to be pregnant....and since she works in the hospital.. pretty close to the lab, she's afraid someone will slip and say something.. So.. is it to early for her to get a BFN or what?!?!... Help please!:)

No, if she is a week late it should show up as a BFP, if it is one. I know that I got my BFP's a couple days before AF was due. That being said, she could still be preggers and it not showing up for some reason. Everyone is so different. Let us know what she finds out.

I'm thinking the same thing as Jenny. It should show up as a positive. Maybe she just ovulated late?

Melissa - WOW. I'm sorry you're having such heavy bleeding. Blech. I can imagine that it is very annoying!

Well I just talked to my doctor. He is going to call in something for me to take to stop the bleeding. The bad part...I can not get pregnant this cycle. :bawl: He said my exam came back normal so I don't need to "worry" but he wants me to go ahead and take this pill. I forgot to ask him what it was. :duh: He did tell me that when my next cycle comes it's going to be the "period from hell". That's always comforting. This just sucks so bad. I was really hoping to go for it this month! So I won't be charting or any of that crap. What's the since? :bawl:

Thankyou all for your kind words and advice! I really appreciate it! :hug99:

it may be provera.

Oh Melissa I am sorry :hug99: !!!! Did he say why you may be bleeding so much or not ?





:ura1: :ura1: :ura1: :ura1: :ura1: :ura1: :ura1: :ura1: :ura1: :ura1: :ura1:

Guess what guys my results came back and my heart is normal ...... darn dr. for making me worry and cry so much !!!! as soon as I found out I could of just jumped for joy and cried !!!!! :ura1: :ura1: :ura1: :ura1: :ura1:

Looks like were back in business :boink: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh Tabitha, that is AWESOME news!!! Hope you get a :bfp: from your session the other night :brow:

Melissa, I'm sorry this cycle is out. But I am glad your bleeding will soon stop!

Tabitha, I think you can celebrate happily now! :sex:

Melissa~ I am so sorry that you have to stop this cycle but glad that everything is OK and the bleeding will stop soon. :hug99:

:woo: Tabitha. Glad to hear that everything is OK. Back to BDINg. ;)

I'm taking Clarinex do you think that will dry me up or not ? I'm feeling pretty wet as in I have a very wet feeling is this still a good sign for me ?

I have stopped and thought about it a little more. This is a test. To see if I have really changed and have been cleaning out my heart. I was really sad and depressed but after speaking to a wonderful friend I have now found that silver lining. All will be ok. My body will be all clean and ready to make a warm home for my baby. I am at peace with this. March has always been a fertile month for me anyway. ;)

Tabitha: I am so glad that all is good with your heart.

Alyson: I agree if she is pg and a week late she would get a bfp on the test.

Thinking Happy Thoughts for you Melissa !!!!!! Let March be your month !!!!! :pray: :crossfing

Ok...I need some crossed fingers. This morning my temp dropped a bit (still above coverline). This afternoon I went to the bathroom and there was a small amount of brown spotting. After 2 wipes it was gone. I don't usually spot before AF so I am hoping this is implantation spotting and not AF. I don't even remember having implantaion spotting with Emma or the last pregnancy. I have been feeling a few pregnancy symptoms but that may just be my imagination. AF isn't due until Monday and I don't want to POAS early. Even when I hae been pregnant, it always gives me negative results and then I get disappointed so I can't be tempted. :lol:

:crossfing :crossfing :crossfing :crossfing :crossfing :crossfing :crossfing

:pray: :pray: :pray: :pray: :pray: :pray: :pray: :pray:


Thinking Good thoughts you for Eva !!!!!!!!

Come on girls that are pregnant give us some baby dust !!!!!!! Please !!!!:supergrin


Dori has AF came around yet ?

Tabitha, that is great news!! :yippee: I am so glad all was OK!

Melissa, :bighug: I am so sorry that you are going through this. I hope next cycle isn't as bad as your doc thinks, sounds like this one was already hellish. :hug99: Keeping my fingers crossed that March is your month!

Jenny.

How do u like my Steelers now? lol

Thank you girls !! :supergrin

Tabitha: thats AWESOME news :hug99: congrats, now get busy girl!

Alyson: Although your sister is normally super regular the cycle changes as you get older, maybe her cycle is shifting?? I agree that a week late definatley would show a bfp by now.

Melissa: so glad you are at peace and ready to get busy in march! positive vibes sending your way!

Eva: I had implantation spotting with my 3rd pregnancy but not for 1 and 2!! so it can be different every time, my fingers are crossed for you!

Thanks. :)

Not sure what is going on. I think AF is arriving. :( I am having really bad AF type back craps. I am still spotting but now pink but it doesn't look like when I get AF. It is so light. :dunno:

Mark me down as CD1 :(

:pray: for Eva! I hope this is it for you girl!!

Thanks ladies! I really appreciate your support. Good news. I think it's starting to lighten up. I haven't taken a dose yet and think I am gonna hold off one more day. See if my body can just stop on it's own. I don't remember the name of the medicine that my dr gave me but it's what they give Cancer patients and patients with endometriosis (sp?). Not to mention that the very first sentence said "Use for lack of menstration". I am so confused. I soo don't have LACK of menstration..quite the opposite. I guess readiing that this was for cancer patients just kind of freaked me out. Please :pray: that my body slows down on it's own and I won't have to take that medicine. I would rather waste $9 than take it.

I am certainly hoping that your body stops on its own Melissa. I would probably wait on that med for another day or so myself. March it is!!!

Oh Eva. I am so sorry.

I am so glad your test results came back w/ positive news Tabitha!

Good news!!! My body is stopping on it's own!!! :banana: You have no idea how happy this makes me!! I was so upset/depressed last night!! I am glad we decided to wait a couple days!! So February is not out!! :woo:I guess I will need to temp this month then. :ura1: :heee:

Get on the ball then Melissa :ura1: :ura1: :ura1: :ura1:


Eva I am so sorry !!! :hug99:

Thank you Shannon !!

That's great Melissa! :yippee:

:ura1: Melissa. :)

Thanks for all the thoughts and hugs. :hug99:

That is wonderful Melissa!

So sorry Eva! :bighug:

No AF yet.. expecting mid to end of next week. Doctor upped my glucophage this week and it is KILLING ME!! So, so weak and my stomach is a MESS! I was laying in the bed at 2:30am last night in so much stomach pain I was cutting the circulation off in my poor husbands arm and wincing in pain swearing I was never going to take another glucophage ever again. But as DH says... keep your eyes on the prize... really, really trying.

Oh Dori, you poor thing............hang in there, girl! It'll all be worth it in the end... I feel so bad for you!

Eva, sorry about AF...

Melissa, I'm glad you are feeling better emotionally. It WILL happen for you, problem is, we don't know when.. stay strong, your miracle will come....

Oh Dori I am so sorry honey :bighug: , I wish there was something I could do for you !! Lets just forcus on what Jamie said and pray this time next month another little buggy or bean will be in there :bighug: !!!!

Oh Dori. :hug99: I am so sorry. I hope that the effects lessen soon and you feel better. :bighug:

Eva: sorry this wasn't it! :hug99: good luck to this new cycle!

Melissa: thats fabulous news!!! onward bound!!! (was the tablet called lupron?)

Dori: sorry you are going through all of this, but your husband is right! :hug99:

Dori, when I upped my met to 1000 I felt the same way for a week or 2. Hopefully your body will adjust quickly :hug99:

It wasn't so bad when he upped it to 1000.. this 1500 is what is doing me in.

It wasn't so bad when he upped it to 1000.. this 1500 is what is doing me in.

How much is he going to up it too ? or is it until you get pregnant ? Are you feeling a little better today any even though I know you just got up not to long ago ? :bighug:

This will be as high as it goes. I will be on it until I get prego and I think for a bit after I am prego. My stomach is a little better today.. I just feel so weak. I hate it.

No it started with a "N". I don't remember what it's called now. :blush: Well I finally stopped!! I forgot to temp this am so I will have to start tomorrow. Gosh I guess dh and I better get busy.

Eva: I am soo sorry!!

Lynn: I see your numbers are rising!! That is awesome!!

Dori: :hug99: I'll keep praying for ya sista!

No AF yet. It has taken up to 10 days for my cycle to start after starting the medicine before. Let's see... I started taking it on Friday so I would guess I would see something by the end of the week. Of course Jamie and I are having a date night and Lauren is staying the night at my Moms on Saturday night and AF will probably be here by then. Lauren staying at my Moms happens *maybe* twice a year. Nice timing eh? So I won't be heartbroken if AF doesn't show up until Sunday! ;)

Thanks, but I'm just riding this "cycle" out. I didn't ovulate so no BFP for me this birthday :(

Poop, Andrea! :( I do remember reading that you'd posted that a little while ago.... Okay....it's a November baby for you then!! :)

maybe :lol: I'm debating on taking a break (to lose weight) for a few months before trying again. I'm not sure yet and I really need to decide soon!!!

Okay, Andrea.....it's you and me now. :aok:

Hey!! What about the rest of us??? Don't we count around here???

Congrats Nicki!

Many congratulations Nicki!!!!!!

Sorry Melissa.... :hug99: Andrea and I are next on the list with cycle days, so that's why I wrote that......

Sorry Melissa.... :hug99: Andrea and I are next on the list with cycle days, so that's why I wrote that......

Sure.. :eviltongu :shuffle:

:lol:

Maybe someday I will Ovulate soon !!!! I am so late with it this month ! I had O pain last week right when I was suppose to O but nothen yet :wtf: , so does anyone know what this might mean because I sure don't ?

That's right, Melissa! :eviltongu :lol:

Andrea, this is going to be a race to see who starts AF first! :lol: Both of our cycles are SO painfully long, this should be laughable! I think Tabitha and Alyson will end their cycles (with BFP's!!!) before we do. :lol: Sad, isn't it.....

I'm suppossed to call on CD 35 for a provera script. Thank God for this thread, it keeps track of my cycles for me :awink:

Bumping again since no one answered this yet ...................

Maybe someday I will Ovulate soon !!!! I am so late with it this month ! I had O pain last week right when I was suppose to O but nothen yet :wtf: , so does anyone know what this might mean because I sure don't ?

Tabitha, I would just keep temping and hold on. :hug99: I know it's frustrating, but your body's going to do whatever it wants. Keep to your BD schedule, and when your temp goes up and stays up, then you've O'd. Don't think that you probably O'd already and your temps aren't showing it.....you'll be sorely disappointed. Believe me.....been there cried over that one. :hug99:

Tabitha I think if your temp spikes tomorrow you may have O'd CD18... but obviously have to wait till tomorrow to see, my fingers are crossed you did, if not keep up the BD, I used to have random longer cycles than usual and O after CD20 the body is so unpredictable..

Ok girls I have a question ......... I woke up around 11:30pm last night thinking it was 1:30am so I took my temp and it was 97.77 but when I came out here I realized what time it was so I went back to bed so I just now got up and took my temp again and it is 97.46 so which one do I go with ? 97.77 gives me a 3DPO but 97.46 doesn't give me anything except 21 days . Which one should I go with ? TIA

I gave up this cycle too TTC since I didn't stay with it , been just to tired since we are back on our over time again so we haven't BD'd since last Thursday which was day 14 so I think this month is a bust !!

I would take the first temp as it, because you need 3 hours of solid sleep to get an accurate temp so the 2nd one will not be right.

:hug99: sorry you have been so tired with shift work and not much action :hug99: I am hoping there were some swimmers still hanging around :awink:

Tabitha, remember I thought this cycle was a bust too! :awink: I am keeping my hopes up for you. Sorry you have been working so much. :hug99: When does that end?

I think I am gonna stop temping this month and just "wing" it. For some reason I keep forgetting to temp so I may as well just play this month and pray for the best! Besides that will more fun anyway! ;)

Nuttin' but love Shannon! :hug99:

Wow! I have been away from the computer for a few days so I missed all the excitment!! Congratulations Nikki! :woo:

This is what my chart says !! also I went to bed at 9:30-10 last night and got up at 11:30 so thats not long enough sleep time but I went with the 1st temp anyway .



Thanks girls !!! I still have very much doubt just look at my profile line !! Damn overtime but hopefully it will end soon !





Why do I have a dotted line on my chart?

The dotted lines on your chart for the coverline and ovulation detection mean that there is something about your data that puts your ovulation date in question. Usually this is because one or more of your non-temperature fertility signs do not confirm the ovulation date that your temperature would suggest. This may not mean anything significant for you, especially if your thermal shift is clear. Sometimes your fertility signs just do not all match up to show a perfectly correlated picture. In most cases, the detection is still quite reliable, but it means that you have to keep looking at your chart and your fertility signs and have intercourse if you see any signs of increased fertility.

When the lines are dotted and the thermal shift is not clear or dramatic, it is especially important to keep having intercourse since it is possible that you are still waiting for ovulation. If a more likely ovulation date becomes apparent later, the software will usually adjust the detection automatically.

Nuttin' but love Shannon! :hug99:

:hug99: You know I've got everything crossed for you every day.....

Hope your spirits are up, Tabitha! I know it feels like forever........but keep you chin up, girl :) We are here for as many hugs as you need.....:):hug99:

Lena , Thak You !! :hug99:

Tab~ just peeked at you chart. Why are you saying this cycle is out? :scratch:

The last time we BD'd was around Day 14 . I O'd supposibly on Day 18 . I asked you girls since I was taking Clairnex if that was drying up my CM because the only time I had CM was Day 14 and 15 but no one ever answered me . I know Deb I think it was her told me way back that I needed the CM to help me get PG in order to carry his spermies something like that . In your opinion do you think I still have a chance ? I just don't see it since what I've explained already. Or maybe I am stupid about this stuff I don't know .

Even the PG monitor says it's low Cycle Day O-3 O-2 O-1 O O+1 Score http://www.fertilityfriend.com/layouts/ttc/images/led_purple.gif Low

Can you see this up above ? I copied and pasted the PG Montior thing from my FF .

:hug99: Tabitha... .I think the good sign is that you DID have CM when you last BD'd and the CM just needs to be there for the sperm to get through the cervix, so it would have served its purpose when necessary.... So in saying that sperm can live up to 5 days once inside the uterus and tubes, so therefore all though your chances are probably lower this month there is still enough reason not to totally right it off!

I will be thinking positive for you :hug99: As for taking the Clarenex that does definatley dry things up and it obviously looks like it did, BUT you weren't BDing anyway so it didn't matter :hug99:

My fingers are crossed tightly!

Thanks Deb , I think AF is on her way . I've had cramps for the past 2 days , these bad headaches too , some backache and that wet feeling again !! I won't be too upset this month since we didn't try very hard . I was just devasted last month because we worked SO hard and then nothen came of it .

Well, you keep us posted either way! I hope it happens soon for you!! :crossfing

Yes I will keep you all posted !! Thank you Nicki !!! I'm taking a break too . I ordered the "Taking Control of Your Fertility" book tonight online from Barnes & Noble . I will still keep temping I think just to see what is going on and what not . It's just weird how you O one day then get your period in a few days after . I guess thats normal though .

Tabitha - you never know. :) If spermies can live up to 5 days, then there was still time and there's still a chance.....it ain't over until it's over!! :hug99:

Well, I officially feel like crap and I'm confused (what's new?) :( I'm nursing a raging sinus infection (for the past week), so it's hard to know what's being sick and what's reproduction-oriented.
I have copius amounts of phlegm-y stuff right now.....and NO it's not coming out of my nose. :blush: That either means I'm about to O or I'm about to get AF. :dunno: I've also been having cramps on BOTH sides yesterday...... Man, I HATE not knowing what's going on. :(
I tested on CD27 and got a BFN. I'll test again on 2/14 (CD40) if AF doesn't arrive by then.

:hug99: Shannon , I hope you get some answers soon :hug99: what does having cramps on both sides mean ?

Well.....I got some cramps on the L side, thinking it might be O cramps.....then I started getting them on the R side as well! They're mostly on the L side though.
I also had some mid-cycle spotting on days 14 and 15, so I don't know if that meant anything.....

I had every pg symptom in the book in December, and it all turned out to be nothing. :( So, I'm very reluctant to read too much into whatever might be going on now. Whatever happens will happen, and we'll just go on to the next cycle from there (hopefully not!!). I still hate the waiting.....

Shannon, I hope this is really it! :crossfing You are really going to wait until 2/14, it seems like such a long time!

Fingers crossed Shannon! I know the whole "get yourself worked up over symptoms" thing. I think I did that every month for a while, only to not be pregnant. I finally figured it out that it means nothing and tried very hard to try and not notice/search for symptoms.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you Shannon!! I hope this is it!!

Can you put my CD date to Day 12...I noticed I messed it up since I did have AF on the first day but I marked spotting. Thanks.

Took a OPK test today and it was positive. Hoping that since it is early it means my cycles are finally getting back to normal. :)

Thanks, Melissa. :hug99: I could get a result anytime in the next 2 weeks. :rolleyes: I just wish my stupid body would be consistent!

Tabitha... I was just lurking and thought you might like this tidbit of info... I ovulated this cycle 4 days AFTER we last BD'ed... there is even speculation that it might have been 5 days. The only thing I did different this cycle - was take low dose aspirin (81mg) each day from the day I was supposed to ovulate (I was taking 100mg of Clomid from Cd 2-9, yes 8 days worth).

Still no AF yet. :( Pretty pathetic that I can't even have AF to even take the dang fertility drugs. :(

Still no AF yet. :( Pretty pathetic that I can't even have AF to even take the dang fertility drugs. :(

:hug99: When did you take your last pill?

Okay Tabitha and Alyson....you're next!! How are you feeling? :)

Dori.... :hug99:

Since Andrea is getting AF in 2 days (lucky....), that'll leave me out on the end with NO idea of how long I'll be there. I'm not having any different signs that I have the past couple of months at this time...which isn't encouraging. It's frustrating because I'm trying to pay attention to my body and trust the signs it's giving me......and it's behaving worse than my 2yo. :( I just can't trust it anymore and I've completely given up on interpreting every little thing as a possible pg, because it probably isn't.
I'll know when I'm pg because I'll either get a BFP on a stick....or I'll start :puke:. Until one of those 2 things happens, I'll just anticipate AF and look forward to another chance...... Crap.

:hug99: Dori and Shannon.

I have to CALL in 2 days, then start provera (after bloodwork) and THEN I'll get AF in about a week or so.

I took my last pill last night. I have never gone through all 12 pills and not start my period. :( But I have to give it another week. I have an appt on the 27th for my annual exam so I will just do something about it then. I have NO symptoms whatSOever that AF would be coming. Its like my whole reproductive system is officially closing. Medicine won't even do the trick.

Maybe Lauren is all I will have, maybe Lauren is all I will need, maybe I need to come to terms with all of that.

I know I cannnot keep taking all of these drugs every month. I get more and more depressed, irritated, moody every month. I am tired of feeling this way. When is enough, enough?

Sorry it's been hell around here. I haven't been tracking anything this month. Not sure why.. just kept forgetting to temp and when I did it was like ahh what the hell. :lol: I think I have ovulated..:dunno: for sure. I guess I could take my temp and see what it is and if it's high then I know that I have O'd. KWIM? I think it happened sometime over the weekend...but as late as yesterday. Who the hell knows. Surely not me. :biggrin: I can see by the chart that today is CD18 so I should have ovulated by now. Ok I am rambling so I am gonna get outta here.

Love. Hope. Prayers. to all!! :hug99:

:hug99: All round. :(

My cycle is so wierd. 2 months ago I "O'dO om day 21, last month day 19 and now I am day 13 and I got my second +ve OPK in a row and have lots of other signs of "O"ing...I am hoping this means that I am back to 28 day cycles. :dunno:

UGH. I seriously feel so frustrated for all of you right now.

Dori, I noticed that you and Jenny both have issues w/ having a period on your own. Do you know if your mother had this same issue? How totally frustrating and baffling. I don't know if I know the answer to your question. Certainly seeing you have a healthy child, and know that Jenny was successful in getting pregnant still gives me hope that it can happen for you. But I know it just takes so much effort and is so demanding in so many ways. Many hugs to you.

Shannon, I am hoping that you have the longest cycle ever! (Meaning, that you never get AF) :) I don't know why your cycles are all so long lately. I am hopeful for that :bfp: but not the puking part afterwards! We know that baby is out in the universe somewhere, just waiting to make its arrival!!! Come on baby!!!

Eva, my system was exactly as you are describing yours. I was all out of whack for several months after m/c, but it did eventually return to 28 day cycles. Good luck!

Hopefully this will be the month Melissa!!!

My Mom did not have any fertility issues at all. And her mother had 14 children!!! It is VERY strange that Jenny and I both have issues. It just REALLY makes me nervous because medicine has never not brough on AF in either one of us.

I would be okay without another child. It just breaks my heart that I cannot give a sibling to Lauren.

I'm on the verge of getting AF all the symptoms are there and I'm taking some time off too . I just got the Taking Charge of Your Fertility book today thru the mail so I have alot of reading to do . I'm tired of going thru this month after month of not conceiving and it's emotionally wearing me down for 2 years now . so thats why I decided to stop TTC for awhile but I am still going to chart .


Dori ~ I already posted in your journal but I will still give you tons of hugs :bighug: :bighug: :bighug: :bighug: :bighug:

I am so sorry that things are so down for alot of you at the moment!

Dori: maybe its from your father side? my mother and her mother etc had NO problems having babies, but I had alot of trouble and apparently my dad's sister and brothers kids had a bit of trouble too. I hope that AF comes for you very very soon so you can give it a good go. In the end Lauren will be happy because she is loved by you and your husband, sibling or not. :hug99: but my positive thoughts are sent you way for a sibling!

Tabitha: I am so sorry you are going through all this pain, I am not giving up on this cycle for you till AF fully arrives. TCOYF is a great book and I hope it gives you some of the answers you are looking for

Eva: this is great news, my fingers are crossed this is it for you!

Melissa: I hope the 2WW goes speedy for you and you get what you have been hoping for! I will be back to check your progress!

Shannon: HOW DOWN RIGHT FRUSTRATING FOR YOU! argh, why won't your body co-operate. hang in there

Andrea: I hope that a blood test proves you don't need to take provera :awink:


:hug99: to you all

Noone from my fathers side either.. as far as we can see. My grandmother had 4 children easily and all of her children were fertile and their children have been fertile. The buck stopped and me and Jenny. It is weird. We talk about it all the time. I ask my Mom if she smoked crack when she was prego with us and doensn't want to tell us. :) She adamantly denies the claims.

Dori, Sending you TONS of hugs! I can only imagine how frustrating it must be. I hate to see you go through this! I am still keeping the faith that you will soon be pg! :crossfing

Tabitha~ Are you really taking time off from TTC? How much? I am sorry it has been so hard on you. :hug99:

Shannon~ UGH about AF! I know it must be driving you batty!!

I'm thinking of taking a month or so off but I am going to still temp and chart only because I want to see the difference between FF and TCOYF charting . I've been told that FF can be so inconclusive so I was going to chart both ways and see what they both say and when I actaully O . Who knows maybe when I'm about to O next I might be in the mood . I always have my ups and downs all the time . Oh yeah we're off our over time too :ura1: . I'm going to get thru TCOYF some and see whats what and see what I have been missing or maybe were still just not hitting the spot right . Just like this month FF says when I had CM which was Day 14 and 15 but put me at Day 18 as O so it says more or less there is some inconclusiveness more less . As in this maybe the possible O day but it's like it is questioning itself .

Hello ladies!! It's been a while since I came in here... Again I got really frustrated and gave things a rest. I still haven't O'd as far as I know... I never did get that thermometer (every time I go to my RX they're out?!? weird ha!? and DH didn't get me one in my stocking for Xmas!) I just kept using the one we have around the house. I'm going to try again this weekend and pick one up and start reading through TCOYF again. Yesterday and today I've had a teeny weeny bit of spotting.. but it's not like AF spotting, so I'll test tonight and see if I'm finally ovulating!..I hope!!! I think I have been super stressed the past month or two, so I'm sure that didn't help. I had an apt with my dr and ended up having to cancel it, because it was one of the days when Brookelyn was really sick last month!...uggh.. Well.. Here's to hoping that things start going well!

Good luck to everyone else to, I'm gonna try and become a regular again!.. and I'll get the info to you Tabitha to start my CD's over..I know all that stuff is probably so off.. and I need to re-new or whatever at FF...

Yeah for AF Dori!!! Better luck this cycle!!!!;)

Thanks for all of the support always girls!:)

:) You can officially list me as CD1 today!!! :)

Welcome back Alyson and good luck!!

Thanks Dori!..and good luck to you too!:)

Welcome back Alyson. Hope your stay here is short and sweet :) Hope all of ours are :lol:

As for me, today is CD 35 so I called my RE. Bloodwork tomorrow and if all is negative (no BFP or signs of ovulation) then I start provera and Femara :errrr: Wish me luck!!!

Good luck Andrea!

Thanks Melissa. I can't believe some of us have been at this for over 2 years :(

Yeah wayyyy to many of us !!!!! Well I'll be 2 years in April but Hell it feels like freakin' FOREVER !!!!!!!!!!! :cry:


Ok girls , I have a question , I started to take Smart Burn (have you heard of it) to lose weight ? Do you think if we keep TTC I will be ok to take these or not ? This was another reason why I was going to take a month or 2 off . I'm working out and losing inches but I'm not losing the lbs. :banghead: if anything I've gained a few lbs. :banghead: so thats why I wanted to start taking diet pills to help in that part and still work out . Maybe this will help me get pregnant too by losing weight but my kids aren't getting any younger they are 7 and 10 now soon to be 8 and 11 . I really did not want that much of an age difference in their but what are you gonna do ??? So ANY ADVICE LADIES . I'm still spotting too by the way , it hasn't gone to AF fully yet !! I started spotting last night .

personally, I'd be hesitant to take any kind of diet pills period, but especially while TTC.

ITA :nod:

Good Luck Andrea!

Alyson, I hope you are O-ing soon!!

Tabitha~ You are still young, I am sure you will have a baby soon. As for the pills, I probably wouldn't risk it. :dunno:

Thanks girls !! I think I will just take this month off and refer to TCOYF and still chart to see what is going on and still chart in FF too .

Good luck Andrea !!

Andrea I know it just sucks! My prayer for this year..all of us get our well deserved bfp sooner rather than later!! At least we have this thread to come to for support. I know it helps me feel like I am not all alone out there in a world of fertile women!

Tabitha: I would definitely skip on the diet pills. They can cause to much harm to an unborn baby and could cause birth defects if taken while TTC. I only know because I was asking my dr the same thing about a year ago. The dr told me to just exercise and weigh my foods and watch my portions. Losing weight the healthy way is really the only way to go. If you take diet pills to loose weight 9 times out of 10 when you stop taking them you gain the weight back plus some. I know from experience. IMO theyj just aren't worth it. I hope that helps some.

Blood work drawn, should hear back this afternoon sometime. If it's negative for HCG or progesterone (meaning if I Oed) then I'll get my script for provera. I asked the nurse again today about the Femara and she said I shouldn't need to come in again and he'd just give me a new script for the femara. Hopefully they can call that in, but I may need to go pick it up. :dunno: Hopefully I'll find out this afternoon.

2 Days in a row!! I'm doing good.. :)

I have a ? ....I used one of the test strips for fertility and I saw an extremely faint line (like so faint that I don't even know how I saw it, really faint!) last night but then I did one again this am..and theres nothing, it's a totally negative reading?!!? Any ideas?
Thanks:)
Hope you all have a good day!

Hey Ladies! Mind if I join you?

Dh and I've been TTC since Jan '05. I'm currently on cd23, 7dpo in my 4th clomid cycle. I'm really praying this one works because it's the very last time I'm doing clomid. The side effects have gotten so bad that I feel like I was insane this time around. I just can't keep doing it to myself or my family.

Luckily I can O on my own, it just an take a LONG time. I am hoping that th 25lbs I've lost will help me do it.

Hi Lisa! :wavey:

Man....someone else who's been TTC for a very long time. :hug99: I need to quit feeling sorry for myself that it's been since May '05 for us!! :blush:

I hope this cycle is IT for you and you won't have to worry about it anymore. How are you feeling? Just another week left before you know for sure.....

Welcome Lisa :heee: I just gave you my history in your journal, so I'll spare you here :lol:

Welcome Lisa!

Alyson: I would say if you used FMU that it's not an accurate reading. You have to not drink for like 2 hours :blahblah: before the test gives an accurate reading. Try again.

Thanks for the welcome!! :biggrin:

I'm feeling pretty normal. I thought I was having some sore bb's the other day but that seems to be gone.

So, I'm 14 dpo on my bday. Of course, I have yet to have a cycle where I didnt' start spotting by cd 12 so I'm sure I'll know before then. Im actually thinking of testing on Thurs. I dont want to get a BFN on my bday.

Hey guys after much thought today and thinking about what Dori said yesterday about still being able to have a Christmas baby it got me to thinking (thank you Dori or I would not of thought of this :hug99: )...... shoot I only have 2 months this year that I can still get pregnant sooooooo we've decided to keep trying ..


I'm checking into FM on ebay but if I go with a used one is that gross ? How do you use them ?? I don't want to get a used one if you guys think that is gross I have no clue how to use them so please advise and I'm go with what you guys say !!!

Also I quit taking them diet pills too !!! Thanks Girls:hug99: !!!

Welcome Lisa and I put you in on our list !!

Keep us posted Andrea , hopefully we will all get that big fat BFP soon !!!!

I agree Lisa. A bfn on your birthday would suck doubletime!

Does anyone remember what Scott and his wife used to prolong his wifes cycle days whatever it was ? Wasn't it B6 for something ? Was it to prolong her Luteal length ? Does anyone remember ?

:hug99: I am glad that you have decided to keep going, and glad you have stopped taking the diet pills, I agree with everything Melissa said about that, I know I have already given you the diet that I am on and that really has worked best for me regarding fertility. I have never used a fertility Monitor sorry I can't help with that side of things. As for the B6 yes that is supposed to help with LP, I think Lynn took it too, maybe you can PM her about it. :hug99: good luck honey

Thank you Deb !! Yeah I still have your diet in my inbox in my email . I was going to following it . I'm stocking up on frozen veggies tonight and I already have the meat . I just need to decide what to do for breakfast ? I go to work at 6:30 but we don't eat until 9:30am for our first break which would be kind of hard to have eggs fior breakfast . I will pm Lynn to see where you can get the B6 at then !!

Tabitha, Yay! I am glad you decided to keep TTC. I hope the book helps. I agree, the good old fashioned way is the best way for WL if you are TTC. Sorry I don't know much about FM.

Welcome Lisa!

Andrea~ I hope you are able to get the meds soon. :crossfing

I think I am going to skip the FM and I got B6 tonight but I wasn't sure of the mg so I just grabbed 50mg , I'm still waiting to hear back from Lynn which I know she's on vacation right now and the last time I saw that she checked in was on Feb.3rd so not sure if I will hear back from her before I O again or not but can someone tell me when do I start to take them and if I have the correct mg so I am sure .

Thanks Nicki !! I'm really glad I was thinking about this at work today and what Dori had to say or I would never of even thought that I only had this month and next month yet to still shoot for a 2006 baby . I swear my mind just goes and wanders off from me :blush: at times .

you can have yoghurt too.....that might be easier

please tell me that it doesn't have to be plain , thats just gross :dead: ? I always bought Light n' Fit Dannon yogart , is this ok ? :pray: please say it is .

the only one that I know of that is approved is Yoplait French Vanilla No Fat... but I am sure the one that you buy is okay as long as the fat content is low. I am not a huge fan of yoghurt myself so I don't blame you... they have now started making a mix of cereal too but its not store bought the company I am doing my program through sell it there so I have cereal now too, its a mixture of puffed wheat, branflakes, puffed millet, hazelnuts, almonds etc..... I think that in the end portion sizes is really the key and you already work out so I think its a matter of time before you will start to see some results :hug99:

Thanks Deb !! :hug99:

So yogurt can prolong your LP? I didn't know that!

I'm 8dpo today, is it too late to try some B6? I've started spotting by cd 10 each of my clomid cycles.

Oh Lisa - she was talking to me because I am trying to lose weight and I work out too . We were trying to figure out what else I could eat for breakfast since I can't eat eggs in the morning because I don't have breakfast until 9:30am at work thats why she suggested that . I wish that would prolong my LP though that would be nice .

Another girl who posted in my journal today told me that you should take the B6 starting from O until AF so I don't see what the harm would be to start it now .

Thanks Tabitha, I got a little confused! :lol:


Do you need the protein for breakfast? When I'm trying to lose weight I do a lot of Oatmeal. The best (for you) is the plain old non instant with just some sweetener and a little bit of cinnamon and milk.

Ewww thats just gross :dead: :lol: , I always hated eatting plain oatmeal when I was a child at home . I'm eatting Dannon Light 'n Fit yogart for breakfast but thanks for reccommending it though . 0% fat in it , 5 grams of protein , and only 60 calories and 11 carbs .

OK I'm saying AF is OFFICIALLY here :dead: While that is a good thing, it's still odd. I didn't O on clomind but I get my freaking period :banghead: So I'll call the fertility clinic tomorrow and see about the femara. I'm assuming today (Sunday) is CD 1 but I'll see what they say. IMO Friday and Saturday were simply spotting days.

Wow Andrea!! Did you take the drugs to make AF come, or did she find you all by herself? If it's the latter..... :woo: On to a more successful cycle!!! :)

As for me, I'm still waiting for AF..... :shuffle: I have NO idea how long this cycle is going to be, so I'm just wearing panty liners every day to be prepared. :aok: I did test on CD37....BFN. It could be a true neg.....or it could just be too early. Time will tell.....

Alyson......how are you doing on CD31 already? :)

And Lisa and Jackie already on DPO countdowns.....how are you both doing?
