Re: The Official TTC Thread!

BB, how far along are you? Sometimes when you are very early they can't see anything on u/s even if it is a viable pregnancy.

I would be 5 1/2 weeks so the RE said that something would be visible if the pregnancy were going to take.

Darn it. Sorry BB. I was hoping you were gonna say you were just 4 weeks. I certainly know it is hard going in for tests and waiting for results particularly when all results lead to a bad outcome. Keep your chin up. Good news is that it was caught early as opposed to weeks going on and then having the same unexpected outcome. Keep us posted on Thursday's beta. We are all here to support you.

 

[lizzyann]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Ladies, thank you all for your support. My plan is to have the beta drawn on Wednesday and when they call me to give me the results and schedule the u/s I am going to request it be on Thursday instead of Friday. I know it is only one day difference but I just want to get this behind me. And on Friday, I have mommy and me swim class with my son and he is going for his 2nd Birthday photo shoot, so I don't want to have to reschedule any of those fun things with my son in order to accommodate this emotional ultrasound. So I hope they will accommodate and give me the u/s on Thursday.

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

BB - I'm so sorry you have to go through this. You will be in my thoughts this week right alongside Lizzy and I hope that Thursday gets here quickly for you.

Lizzy - I'm glad you are going to push for an earlier ultrasound. Your Friday sounds spectacular, and I would hate for you to have to change that.

You lovely ladies are in my thoughts, and I hope that you both get answers soon.

 

[monkeyprincess]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Oh BB, I'm so sorry about the news you received. That is so disappointed. I hope they are wrong, and there is still hope, or at least that you get the best outcome possible on Thursday. You are in my thoughts. Have you had positive pregnancy tests before, or is this the first time? Maybe the positive test is your silver lining in all of this.

Lizzy, sounds like a good plan. This whole saga has dragged on long enough for you. I am so sad for everyone here who is struggling to conceive and having difficulty.

AFM, my temp dropped to the coverline today at 10dpo. So, I'm pretty sure I'm out. I'm disappointed my temp didn't stay up at least a few days more, but trying not to worry about what that means for the future. As much as I was prepared for this not to be my month, I was still really sad this morning when I saw the drop.

Oh, and Brown, LC, and NEL, I'm crossing my fingers for positive OPKs this week! We need some good news around here!

 

[LadyBlue]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Lizzy, I'm so sorry about the situation. I cannot imagine how you are feeling. I really hope the Dr. can give you an answer on the next appointment.

BB. I'm so sorry, such a bad news you have. I hope you can move on from this fast without any complications.

This month DH was out of town so I missed to window completely. I'm just waiting for AF to arrive so I can move on to the next cycle.

Thinking in all of you and sending you good vibes for a lot of BFP this month!!!

 

[brown_eyes]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

MP - I'm sorry about the temp drop, but I don't think it's over till AF shows her ugly face.

I forgot to give my update earlier. I got a this morning on my OPK! We BD'd last night and so i think as long as it happens again tonight or even tomorrow we should be covered. I am just thrilled that our awkward sleeping arrangments this weekend will not sour our chances this cycle. Does anyone know approximately when you O after the LH surge?

Anyway, I hope that someone else gets a soon so I have a buddy in he 2WW with me! Come one NEL and LC!

 

[brown_eyes]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

LadyBlue - looks like you posted while I was writing. Good to see you around here again! I'm sorry you missed your window this cycle.

 

[LadyBlue]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Brown eyes, Most people ovulate between 12 and 48 hours. So I will still bed today and tomorrow and even the day after tomorrow Actually I usually bed until my temperature change. For me it takes 48 hrs after the LH surge.

I want to add that I went to see a chiropractor about the TTC, he said that I have a hormonal unbalance so I'm taking some complements. I have to say I felt a HUGE difference on the Ovulation signs. I had a lot more of CF and I knew the day before I got the that I was going to get it. Such a bad luck that DH was out of town. But I feel a little excited about next month.

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Morning Ladies!

Gonna sneak in a quick post during work to send hugs to BB and Lizzy.

BB, I really hope your doc can give you some confirmations. Please let us know how the betas look. I don't have much to add about anything medical, but I think it's PHENOMENAL that you got your BFP! I remember you said you felt lukewarm about your chances with the IUI, so now it's more to be hopeful for, y'know? HUGS to you friend!!

Lizzy, I really hope they can accommodate your US Thursday rather than Friday. Your Friday sounds wonderful and I'm hoping if you let them know everything they'll be understanding. HUGS my friend.

Monkey, staying hopeful for you, but the restart will be nice.

LadyBlue, I hope AF comes quickly so you guys can start crackin' again! Sorry you missed your window. very interesting note about the chiro helping with the TTCing. I was thinking of maybe doing some acupuncture. Maybe as a means to bump the LOOOONG cycles. Maybe i should

Brown. HOORAY for the I'm still waiting on my +, so far they've been a big fat ZERO! Get your game on, girl! And give your DH's swimmers a little pep talk! ha ha!

I'm going on a pretty long cycle thus far if it's still zero signs I'm close to O'ing. Temp shifted up yesterday, but I think it was because I had a fever. They were back down to high 97's today. Usually my shift is in the 98F-ish range. I might need to buy another box of OPKs! That's my THIRD box I'll be getting for this cycle. I swear I've been OPKing for 2 wks straight! Maybe I should get a CBE Fertility Monitor that way I can buy a 30-pack of test sticks. DH and I have been tapering off the BD-marathong. What can I say we totally ran outta steam. I'll see if we can BD some more starting tonight through the week. It's his birthday this weekend, so hopefully I'll be able to get some action outta him. As one of his friends calls it "Birthday Booty." But typically he boozes pretty hard so Birthday Booty might be out of the picture if there's too much boozing going on.

I'm sorry about the drop, I know how sad it feels. But don't worry about the 10 day LP. Really. Temp shifts are not 100% accurate, maybe only accurrate within 24 -36 hours, and even if the estimated O day is accurate, a 10 day LP is just fine for the vast majority of women. I mentioned this before but just wanted to emphasize it to you! I got pg 2x with a 10/11 day LP, as have a few others that I can think of here on PS alone. A true issue of a too short LP is very very rare, based on all the reading I did when I discovered my own 10 day LP the first time I was TTC. So don't worry about it at all.

I hope they can reschedule the u/s Lizzy. If not, I would really not want to push around those activities you have planned. They will be so good for your soul to go enjoy your son and your time together.

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Thanks Dreamer, it is very reassuring to hear that 10 days is not necessarily a problem and that you've conceived twice with a shortish LP. Last month AF came 13 days after O, but I noticed the tiniest amount of brownish cm on 9 and 10dpo. We'll see what happens this time.

Yay Brown! Finally, some good news and great timing too. This month I got a positive OPK on a Thursday afternoon and another one on Friday. My temp spike occurred on Sunday morning, so I think I ovulated sometime on Saturday, which would be around 48 hours after the positive OPK. We bd'd on the two days I saw the smiley face. In hindsight, we probably should have done it the next day too to maximize our chances. Personal question which you can ignore, but have you noticed EWCM too? I haven't noticed any yet since getting off BC, but if you have that too, you should be good to go! Happy bd'ing. That's the only fun part of this waiting game.

LC, ugh, stupid long cycles. How long have you been off BC again? I wonder if your doctor would have some suggestions or explanations for why it has not returned to normal length yet. Regardless, I'm crossing my fingers for you that you see that soon. Your husband's b-day weekend would be perfect timing!

LB, good to hear from you. Too bad about the timing last month, but very exciting that you are getting more signs. Which "complements" are you taking? I assume that is the same thing as a supplement? My CF is practically non-existent still unless I check internally, and even then it is scant.

You don't count it as a new cycle until it is red flow, so the pre-AF spotting is not the end of your LP (as you know). Some PS women have found that pre-AF spotting was a bad sign for them in retrospect (i.e. once fertility issues were identified), but for them it started at 6-8 DPO, not 10, so it seems different for you. Other have spotting and it seems to be no sign of anything! As I mentioned, temping is not 100% accurate wrt predicting ovulation. You could have ovulated sooner than the temp spike, or later. Typically your LP is invariant within 1 day, so if it was 12 days last time (assuming flow started on 13DPO), then it should be similar this time too. Your temp dip today could be a fakey -- for me the dip comes the day AF arrives. But time will tell!

My main point is don't go borrowing trouble!

 

[lizzyann]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Browneyes, thank you for your support. I do feel like the RE will accommodate as long as there is availability. Congrats on the positive OPK! Usually you O anywhere from 12-48 hours after the LH surge. My RE recommends to BD the day of the surge, the day after the surge, and the second day after the surge. Good Luck!!!

Monkey, thank you so much. TTC is such a whirlwind. I am crossing my fingers your drop in temp means nothing. Keep us posted.

LadyBlue, thank you! I am you missed your window this cycle. That sucks. My DH travels a lot too so when he tells me his schedule, I constantly check my calendar and calculate my approximate O date!

LC, thank you lady! I just want the u/s on Thursday so that it is done and over with and I can enjoy my Friday with my little man. Sorry you still have no signs of O. I really hope your cycles start to shorten for you. With such long cycles, I think I would run out of the BD steam as well!!! Take a little break and then get some birthday booty!

Dreamer, I really hope they can switch the appt to Thursday. I just don't want to have to cancel a fun thing for a not so fun thing. I'd rather just have the u/s on thursday, hopefully learn something about my situation, and then enjoy my Friday with E. I still can't believe my level went up yesterday. What the heck?? They think that I most likely am not having ectopic because my progesterone levels have been elevated and usually with ectopic they drop. But they feel the u/s will either show an empty sac or nothing at all. I hope it shows something that gives us some clues!!!

AFM, I spoke with my girlfriend who used the same RE for her IUI's and IVF. She said that originally she had twins thru her IVF, but when she went in for her u/s at 5 1/2 weeks it showed one sac was larger than the other and the RE told her that she would most likely lose one. She went back in for another u/s a couple of weeks later and the both had heartbeats but one was MUCH lower than the other. The next u/s showed that the heartbeat had stopped in one, but was strong in the other. I'm thinking that in my case, it implanted, started to grow, then stopped. But something is still hanging around in there causing my levels to only slightly go up. Just my opinion... We shall see.

 

[brown_eyes]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Lizzy and LB - thanks for the info. I guess DH will be a happy man this week

MP - I am no CM expert, but I noticed watery CM yesterday and today I've had that along with some maybe EWCM. I'm thinking today I still have some of DH's swimmers in there though.

LC - DH and I would seriously run out of steam if we were trying to marathon for that long. By the way, I bought a 20 pack of the clear blue OPK's on Amazon for about the cost of the 7 pack at the pharmacy. Maybe you should give that a try.

 

[NewEnglandLady]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

BB, I'm so sorry about your levels and the bad news, I know how much you were wanting a BFP and you've been such a trooper with your IUIs. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for you, but I completely understand your frustration. I'm definitely thinking of you this week.

Lizzy, I really hope they can fit you in on Thursday. Not just to accommodate your schedule (though obviously that is good), but because I just want for you to get some answers and be able to move on.

MP, so sorry about the temp shift. I'm sure it was disappointing to see it drop. I hope AF's stay is short and sweet and you can move onto the next cycle!

LB, I'm so sorry that your DH is out of town when you need him! Still, I'm excited to hear that your O indicators were improved this month--that's something to be excited about! Heck, I'd be happy with a regular cycle at this point!

Brown_eyes, I'm really excited for your + OPK! I was really hoping it would happen early this week since you have the weekend with your parents--now you can get in a lot of quality BDing without worrying about the timing! I would love to join you in the 2WW, but my body seems to have other plans, haha.

LC, I would love to tell you not to stress about Oing because stress doesn't help, but I know that's impossible to do So I'm just going to say that I hope you O soon! Your eggs like to take their sweet time!

AFM, no real signs of O yet. My whole reproductive system is a mystery to me at this point, I'm just trying to follow any signs it gives me. DH used the emergency condom this morning...I told him that he wasn't using it effectively since I'm likely not Oing anytime soon. So that's it for him, no more security blanket. And I'm telling you, my sexy advances are unavoidable! I'm a woman on a mission! Yesterday he dropped a cupcake he'd brought home for me while running away from me! You can run, but you can't hide...

 

[lliang_chi]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

NEL, OMG I love your last post! Totally made this dreary Tues for me. Also breaking my work rule but seriously. hilarious. Yeah I'm not super worried about the lack of O yet, but I'd just kinda like it to come sooner so my cycles don't spread longer and longer apart. Funny about the emergency condom. Hey D can't say you didn't warn him.

~LC

 

[Dreamer_D]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

LC how long have your cycles been since coming off your shots?

 

[lliang_chi]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Hi DD, I wasn't on the depo-shots, I was on the 3-month Seasonale HBC, got off in early Dec. I've had 2 cycles since then; they've been 41, 50 days. I'm now on CD 43 of my third cycle. So far I'm just more impatient than anything (not worried, yet). The past two cycles my LP has been 10 days. So even if I O tomorrow, I'd probably be going on a 53-54 day cycle for my 3rd-go-round. Hence my feeling I'm going longer and longer between cycles. Which when I'm no longer TTC, I'm sure I'll be like "This is AWESOME!" But for now, I'd rather get something regular every month. So that's my story... Still waiting.

Sorry, I knew it was a long term one but didn't recall. You know, anecdotally, I read a lot from women who were on bcp like that and some said it was 6 - 12 months to get "back on track"! It makes sense. Your body was used to being in a sort of holding pattern for 3 months at a go. For your cycle to happen naturally, there is a really complex interaction between all the body's endorcrine systems, and feedback loops between the brain and ovaries and uterus to get the right pattern of hormones brewing. If that was interrupted in the way those 3 months pills do, I imagine it could take a while to regulate! Poopy if you feel a rush to get pregnant, but on the other hand, more delay means more "you time" too...

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Lizzy - I don't think I've said yet that I'm sorry this is dragging on like this - I hope you get that US tomorrow, your Friday does sound wonderful. Have you made a decision on whether or not you might try Clomid for the next cycle?

BB - Sorry for your bad news as well, and will be waiting for an update. I hope that if this cycle is definitely not going to work out, that the next time is the one. We're rooting for you!

brown eyes - Yay on a positive OPK!!! Hope you're enjoying the BDing!

LC - I can understand falling off the BD train after a marathon like yours! Hah! I hope that smiley shows up soon, it must be so frustrating to deal with those long cycles. Any updates on the officery?

NEL - I loooooove your nursery!! Saw the pics in the other thread and I think you made a great decision with that wall! I can't believe how fast you got that project done, can I have some of that motivation?

mp - It ain't over til it's over!! I hope this is your month, but if not, well, I'll be truckin' along with you. So nice to have a cycle buddy! Fingers are crossed!!

LB - Glad to see you poke your head in! Sorry about the missed opportunity this month - next month you'll just have to BD extra

AFM, CD3 here. My coping mechanism for AF arriving seems to be pretty set in stone at that point - a couple stiff bourbon drinks (I've been laying off the hard stuff while TTC, just having beer and wine now and then) and a good cry! It would be extra super nice if the next cycle took though... my mom is coming out here for Memorial Day weekend and it would be a dream come true to tell her in person. I guess next time I'm going to aim for BDing the day I get the + on the OPK, and both days afterward instead of just the next day. If it doesn't happen within a few months of actually knowing when I O, then I'll really be frustrated! Haha, and I thought that TTC was going to be fun and not so stressful! Silly me

 

[monkeyprincess]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Dreamer, thanks for taking the time to respond to my neurosis. I tend to be a worrier, especially when I feel like things are out of my control, so thanks for the reassurance. My sister had difficulty conceiving, so I think that makes me more vigilant, but I definitely shouldn't assume something is wrong until I've tried more than two months!

LC, I had forgotten you were on a three-month regimen. Hopefully, your body will get the memo soon that it can resume normal activity Better yet, maybe you won't have to see AF again for another nine months!

NEL, you're too funny. I'm glad the emergency condom is gone. Better to get it out of the way before it was even needed Your nursery is super cute. Hopefully, you'll have a reason to do even more decorating in that room soon. Sorry that your body is not being as predictable as you'd like. I'm sure we'll all get the hang of it eventually.

Brown, hope you catch that egg this week!

Katy, ah, I hear you on the needing a stiff drink. I'm not having any of those until AF enters her appearance, but I went home and had a Coke Zero yesterday in protest (I pretty much cut out all caffeine a couple months ago). TTC is turning out to be more stressful and emotional than I had hoped. I really hope you get your BFP next month in time for Memorial Day!

Lizzy, please let us know what you learn at the appointment today. And see if you can force them to give you an ultrasound while you are there

AFM, temperature went back up again today, which should be a good thing, but I am also seeing brownish cm on the TP just like last month. Also, I took a pregnancy test this morning, and it was negative. I think the progesterone is just making one last hurrah in the battle against the estrogen. But at least my body is being somewhat predictable.

 

[brown_eyes]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

LC - boo for frustratingly long cycles!

Monkey - it's not over till it's over!

Katy - It is amazing how quickly TTC gets frustrating. This is my second cycle and I already feel a little anxious about when it is going to happen. Knowing when you O should really up your chances of getting KU, so don't get too down.

NEL - Your post made me laugh out loud! Ha! I'm glad your DH used the emergency condom at a time when it didn't really make a difference. I wish your body would get the memo and get on track!

BB and Lizzy - just wanted to let you know that I am thinking about you two today.

AFM - if all goes as planned tonight , we will have BD'd the day before, the day of, and the day after the positive OPK. Hopefully that does the trick. I am cautiously optimistic about our chances this month, but as always, I'm hoping this is it.

Poopy if you feel a rush to get pregnant, but on the other hand, more delay means more "you time" too...

I was just reading about this in TCOYF this morning (yep, still reading it while I commute!) The author was stating that it can take several months or even years, but often your period returns to what it was before going on the pill. This hit home for me because my pre-pill periods were often irregular with my cycles lasting 40+ days. When I came off the pill I had shortery regular cycles and I even wondered if maybe I had been anovulatory prior to going on the pill. Now that I've been off of BC for nearly a year and am going back to my long, irregular cycles, I wonder if it's just my body going back to its old ways. Anyway--LC, were your periods more regular before going on Seasonale?

Katy--I like your coping drinks. You should create your own drink and call it a "F U AF". I like your strategy for the next cycle--hopefully you can relax a little, enjoy your FUAFs and focus on a little "me" time.

MP--interesting that your temp rose a litte today. I agree that your progesterone is probably giving one last little wave goodbye, but I can't help but want to say "it ain't over until AF sings". I also can't help but want to say "implantation dip?" even though I know it's a long shot.

Brown_eyes--look at you and your timing! Your egg is probably leisurely leaving your ovary and will be accosted by an army of sperm. At least I hope so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!

AFM, nothing exciting happening on CD15. I think I might try internally checking my CM starting today. That should be hilarious.

 

[blackberry16]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Thanks for your kind thoughts everyone. I am going in today for another beta test. I have to hang around at the clinic while my results come in b/c if my beta went up they are going to want to do another u/s. If they can't see anything in my uterus I suppose we are going to assume eptopic and start the meds to fix the problem. I am none too thrilled with being told that they don't know what is going on.

I am feeling pretty blue b/c this was my very first positive pregnancy test and it has turned out to be a fairly sizable mess. Also, my sister is about to deliver her son so that is adding to my mood.

I will update you as soon as I know anything more.

 

[lizzyann]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

BB, I am right here with you. Sorry this has become a mess for you. It is so hard to not get excited when you get a positive pregnancy test, but I have learned now that I have to try to curb that excitement for awhile to try to protect myself from let down. It really sucks and I envy the people who go thru TTC with no issues. But I know I am blessed in other areas of my life - I have a beautiful son, and a DH who supports and would do anything for me. Try to see the bright side during this mess. We are all here for you.

AFM, I just heard back from my RE and my level finally went down. Big sigh of relief. It went down to 93. So the RE did not want to do an u/s because she felt it was not needed now that my levels are finally dropping. She also felt it would not show anything anyways as my levels are so low. She said the bleeding could start anytime now. They also want me to repeat bloodwork on Monday to double check that levels are still dropping. But the good news is that they feel ectopic is out of the question now. What a roller coaster ride....Thank you ladies for being here for me.

 

[brown_eyes]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

BB- I really hate that you have to go through this. My real hope for you is that they just missed the bean on the original ultrasound so I'm sending you positive vibes. I know that this must be so hard for you and I cannot imagine waht you are feeling, but we are all thinking about hou and hope that everything gets sorted out soon.

Lizzy - I'm glad your numbers are finally going down. This has been the never ending story for you and I know you must be relieved for it to come to some kind of conclusion. I have to say that I really admire your strength through all of this.

You two have been through the ringer on your TTC journeys and I hope that it comes to an end soon with a nice healthy sticky bean in your bellies.

NEL - I am definitely hoping that the army of sperm accost the egg. I hope you find some fertile CM soon and that you are wrong about your cycles going back to long and irregular. I honestly don't remember what my cycles were like prior to HBC, but I do remember syncing up with my roomates, so they couldnt have been so crazy. I wonder if regularly working out with someone who is super regular will pull your cycles into sync with them...
