@sera_87:
If there was a squinter, then I'm willing to bet that you're still in it.
-
@BabyBoecksMom: does it still count as a squinter if you have to tip it?
-
@sera_87: it does cause my first squinter I had to look at from an angle plus take apart just to see it
-
@LovelyPlum: I love monopoly I taught my 5yr and 4yr nieces to play so I have someone o play with an the love it every time I go over there they ask auntie can we play pleases lol
-
@FaithFertility: The IUI was easy once my dr was able to get the catheter in. I have some scarring from a LEEP a few years back so he had to manually dilate my cervix. That part wasn't so much fun but I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat if it gets me a BFP
-
@Honeygold89: you're not helping! Lol.
-
@AlmostMrsG: ohhh I totally agree
I'm willing to do it all, just a big baby. ....lol Prayers for a BFP :)))))) to you!
-
@sera_87: lol sorry
@AlmostMrsG: @FaithFertility: good luck and sticky baby dust to you both -
I've been away for a few days so I'm trying to catch up...
@NorCalWayfarer: So sorry to hear that. Thinking of you.
@Claire.Peonies: @lisamarieloves: @jhd: Darn.
@AlmostMrsG: FX for you!
-
@lisamarieloves: I take 100 mg of vitamin B6 every day in addition to the prenatal.
Pros:
- I have more energy
- I stay full longer (Dr said it makes the nerve endings in the stomach more likely to register food in there, awesome.)
- I O'd a whole 7 days "early" this month (I've only been tracking for 4 cycles and the O date moves, I always guess CD14, but it can be CD21 or CD 16, so this is not a very scientific statement.)
- I'm able to focus more - not sure if that's the B6, but nice.Cons
- Neon pee.
- Can't take after 3pm, it keeps me awake until the wee hours of the morning if I do.Doc also recommended Vitex - I would check with a Dr on that, as some women have problems while taking it and it shouldn't be taken with certain fertility meds. I haven't had any problems so far, but it's slow-acting, so I'm waiting to see what else it might do.
-
Had my lap yesterday. They did not find any endo, but they did find an adhesion, which my doctor cut. The adhesion was in the exact place I was getting most of my pain, so at least I know what was causing the pain. I have no idea how I got the adhesion though since they are usually from a prior surgery or infection and I haven't had either. I did ok with the anesthesia, but I'm feeling a lot more sore today. Just resting up and taking it easy.
@lovelyplum: @CMBKNYC: @sprite: @doxielove: Thanks for the thoughts and well wishes.
-
@Claire.Peonies: Urgh! Sorry to hear that.
-
@mrs. 64: Welcome back, so glad it went well! Sending healing thoughts and vibes your way!
-
@mrs. 64: Glad to hear the lap went well! That's interesting about the adhesion. Well, hopefully you'll be pain-free going foward!
-
@mrs. 64: Sounds like it went really well! That is so great to hear! I hope you feel better soon
-
@Honeygold89: Thank you!
-
@sweetkeight: Thank you so much for the information. I am likely going to hold off one more month and just make DH give it best try with this new cycle. (I try to blame everything on DH when I can.) But I am probably equally likely to go out and buy a bunch of B6 vitamins. I want more enegery and to feel full! And neon pee would be fun! =)
@Honeygold89: Bahahaha... I totally imagined you taking the test apart. I love how crazy us girls get. We must find laughter in all of this TTC situation.
@mrs. 64: I'm happy to hear your procedure went well. Resting up and taking is easy is always a good thing.
-
@mrs. 64: Hope you feel better asap:)
-
@mrs. 64: get ell soon glad everything went ok
@FaithFertility: you're welcome
@lisamarieloves: I know right DH thought I was crazy but hey he seen the line then -
UGH - AF is here
That means my LP was only 9-10 days, so not great. Think I'll try B Complex again next month...
-
@lisamarieloves: @Claire.Peonies: @fussygal:
@mrs. 64: Thanks. Hope you are feeling better soon!
-
How long has everyone been TTC for?
Do you count the first day of your period as the first time you see ANY spotting or the first day of full flow?
I am spotting- no full flow yet. Not that unusual for me to spot prior to a period- but still hoping!
-
@Claire.Peonies: this is our 2nd cycle trying - 3rd month off bcp
@fussygal: boo sorry lady!
-
@Claire.Peonies: I had this discussion with the bee's a few weeks ago and it seems that the first day of actual flow is the start. I think if you don't have full flow by tomorrow you should test again because this happened to me.
-
@Claire.Peonies: I count for real flow day
This is my 4th TTC over 8 months (BFP 3rd cycle, miscarriage)
-
@fussygal sorry about AF
@claire.peonies AF is here so we are entering our 3rd cycle trying
-
I just feel like 5 months is a long time. Do you think an OB doc would start me on clomid at this point? I get +OPKs month after month..
-
@Claire.Peonies: have all your months been good timing?
-
@Claire.Peonies: from what I've heard around here, I think only after a year of trying would concern your OB. Maybe 6 months at the earliest?
-
My cycles evidently range from 28-32 days. I have been off of the pill for 6 months now. They are normal now for the past 2-3 cycles...
-
@Bao: This may be TMI, but my spotting is brown *not unusual for me actually* and less then 1 pad. Was yours heavier or about the same? How many days did you see spotting for?
-
@Claire.Peonies: I've heard that 6-12 months is average for a healthy couple to conceive. And like @luckypenny said, most docs won't look into fertility issues until you've been TTC for a year (if under 35) or 6 months (if 35+). My doc also said they would do some tests if we were to have recurrent chemical pregnancies/miscarriages (but not after one). I know it's tough TTC month after month, but I'm hoping for a
for you soon!
-
@fussygal: I'm so sorry. This is your third cycle post mc right? For some reason I've had a long cycle, a normal cycle, and now this month was really short. I am going to try B Complex this month too! Hopefully fourth times a charm.
-
@Claire.Peonies: Clomid gets you to ovulate, so it wouldn't be helpful for you. Go on YouTube and look at the video The Great Sperm Race. You'll see then why it's such a pain TTC and why most women don't get it on the first few tries.
-
@Claire.Peonies: even though you may have been ovulating and on a normal cycle it can take a few months for the hormones of pills to come out of your system. I think that you're still normal! We have a little one, so we know we are fertile and we are still having to wait this time.
-
@Claire.Peonies: about the same except mine even had a bit of red and pink that's why I thought I was out.
-
@Claire.Peonies: what are your temps like?
-
@Claire.Peonies: we have been trying for 6 months...and like you I feel like its a long time. I haven't been on any form of bc and we quit using condoms in December. Granted we thought it would just happen on accident so the first 3 maybe 4 months could have been bad timing, but I thought the last few were right on target. This past cycle was my first using opk's so I'm holding out hope maybe the next cycle or two of definitely timing it down to the hours/day will be the trick. It's very discouraging though
-
@Claire.Peonies: I went off BC and we started trying right away. First two cycles were 40 and 63 days with not good timing. I started temping and OPKs during cycle 2. Cycles have been regular since then. I'm in the TWW of technically cycle 6 now. I've experienced the spotting you talk about the past two cycles too. How old are you?
-
@T.H.O.U.: Yeah this was my 3rd cycle post m/c. Last month finally got back to normal, but this one was a little short for me (and the first was waaaay short). Sorry that yours are still wacky too : ( Not understanding or knowing what to expect is the worst. I was taking b complex the month I got my BFP, so I hope it works for both of us! Would be fun to be in the same due date month
If there was a squinter, then I'm willing to bet that you're still in it.
for you soon!
