@mrs. 64: how rude!! With DD people started asking how far along I was and I replied "12 weeks" and they said "oh wow you're so big!" Thanks
-
It sounds like a lot of you ladies have movement on doctors and testing - yay! Feeling really gross today... I think that my runny nose has somehow affected my tummy and made it all upset. Doesn't bode well for any possible embies, does it?
-
Morning everyone! So FF had predicted O for Saturday, which was pretty consistent with the previous couple of months. But I decided to take an opk this morning anyway and it was positive! Of course our EOD the last few days has not been as good as we hoped--crazy stuff with work, awesome timing-- and we were going to make up for lost time this weekend. Now I"m worried we didn't get in any good BD'ing this month. Grr!
-
@HazelEyes: If you just got a positive OPK, you still have plenty of time to get busy!
-
@T.H.O.U.: I hope so! We'll have to squeeze in some time tonight somehow. at least no temp jump yet, so maybe we'll get in at least today and tmw
-
@pui: good luck today!
-
Ok ladies, AF is officially out of here, so I am going to start my OPKs soon. My cycles are REALLY crazy so I'm hoping I catch it and can time some BD. I have had 22 day cycles but then after our m/c my last cycle was 40 days. I'm hoping to settle back into something more normal around 28 but at least with OPKs and CM tracking I may know whats going on.
-
@HazelEyes: Thanks! I really hope I can start some kind of plan of action today.
-
@T.H.O.U.: I was in the same boat. The month after my MC I stopped and started bleeding about 3 times over a month and a half. I guess it was a combination of MC bleeding and my body trying to regulate after MC. But since March I am back to 26/27 day cycles. You'll get there
GL!
-
@AuntieEm: ok, you are scaring me a bit. I know this cycle is going to be wonky, but yuck.
@T.H.O.U.: I'm excited for you
@SweetMamaM: I'm sorry you're not feeling well. But I think any potential babies will be just fine. When do you test?
@pui: I hope so! Let is know how it goes.
-
@T.H.O.U.: I've had pretty wonky cycles since af returned after P... they seems to be having "some kind of" normalcy now so hopefully yours will level out this cycle!
@pui: Hope your appt goes well!!!!
@doxielove I think I want to change my poas date... I'm currently 1 DPO per my OPK & FF so my af date was changed to the 20th, making the 19th my 14 dpo. I don't think I can wait till the 22nd!
Go ahead and change me to the 19th please! *eek*
-
@T.H.O.U.: right after my m/c in march I had a 43 day cycle and now I'm back to my normal cycles so give it time it will be back on track
-
I'm out! I'm actually not too upset because this is only my second month off BC. My first cycle off was only 19 days and this one was 27 so I'm regulating
-
@HazelEyes: there's still plenty of time!
@T.H.O.U.: AF just left today too! I have 29/30 day cycles. When are you starting OPKs? -
@pui: good luck at appt! Hope you leave with peace of mind
-
@runsyellowlites: Yea! The 19th will be here before you know it! Is G out of school yet? That will make time really fly!
@luckypenny: I think I am going to go ahead and start OPK tomorrow. Its probably way too soon but since I have no idea how long this cycle might be I don't want to miss it. If its still stark white tomorrow I may skip a day are two until I get closer to the middle of my cycle.
-
@Honeygold89: Sorry about your m/c but its good to hear things got back to normal. I can live with it being a month or two to regulate but I was scared I was going to have a hard time TTC if my cycles were going to be long forever.
-
@T.H.O.U.: We homeschool so he's always in & out of school.... and it kinda makes the days drag (somtimes). lol I'm super nervous this time, which I wasn't last time. Idk, I think the more I learned in the ttc realm just made it more "real" as opposed to "Oh lets have a baby & bam have a baby".
-
Hey everyone.
So my appointment went fine. I do not have PCOS. Nope, instead I have an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism). The doctor prescribed me some hormone I am apparently not getting naturally from my thyroid in a medium dosage. In 2 months I need to get another blood test done to see if I need a higher/lower dosage.
I'm happy to be treating this... but I'm still feeling kind of sorry for myself that I have this problem at all. I am worried it is still going to be months and months and months before I actually end up pregnant.
Thanks everyone for all your support and well wishes. For now I am standing on the sidelines until my period comes back...
-
@luckypenny: @T.H.O.U.: I have 30-35 day cycles & started on CD 11... I wanted to start on CD 10 but forgot to make it to the store.
@pui: I have no thyroid!! As long as you can get the right meds dosage to get your hormones back in line it really shouldn't be an issue!
-
Thanks I was only 7 weeks so I guess it didn't take my body to long to get back on track plus I always have been regular but it's going to happen for us all soon enough we just starting trying again this cycle
-
@pui: I'm glad they were able to find the problem so soon. That just means the end is near and you're getting super close to your BFP!!! *hugs* the end of 50+ cycle days are almost over.
-
@pui: I'm glad you got a diagnosis. I hope starting the meds makes you feel better AND help get you KU very soon!
-
@pui: So glad you got some answers. I actually know a few people that have that (I guess its fairly common, who knew?!) and have had success in TTC. I hope this gives you at least some peace of mind.
-
@pui: I agree with @apex; you are now one step closer to your BFP, even if this feels like an obstacle! I've got my FX for you that in no time you'll be KU
@Boopers: Ah darn, sorry to hear about AF!
@T.H.O.U.: Hopefully your cycles go back to "normal" soon! Sorry if you mentioned this before, but what day were you planning on starting opk's?
@HazelEyes: If you just got a +, I'd say it's time to get busy, girl!

@pui glad you got some answers. fwiw DH was diagnosed with under active thyroid & it did not take long at all to get it regulated.
-
@Boopers: I'm sorry. But yay for regulating! Onward to July
@pui: I'm so glad that you are getting some answers. I am really hoping that the.medicine helps you to feel better and get a BFP soon!
-
@pui: Wooo!! Yay for a solution! And don't feel sorry for yourself AT ALL! Tons and tons of people have thyroid issues - overactive, underactive, etc. It's not all that uncommon! And usually adding in some medication leads to some weight loss - just an added plus that we all love
FX for AF to come soon!!
-
@LovelyPlum: not sure, I had some longer LPs before my cycles went crazy. I waited for AF last time, but we have a party to go to on the 15th so I might test then. I'm like phobic of another stark white test!
-
@pui: yay for answers!! I know it's disappointing but I felt so much better when I knew my issues were getting resolution!
-
@pui: Really glad they were able to pinpoint the likely cause. Hope it puts you at ease and brings a quick BFP!
-
@pui: I'm glad you got some answers and a plan to move forward. Hoping they get things straightened out so you can get your bfp!
-
@pui: Answers are good! Especially treatable ones!
-
@pui: well yay for a diagnosis! Hope it leads to more answers and a BFP in your near future
-
@runsyellowlites: I bought a pack of 5 OPKs. With a 30 day cycle should I start the 10th or 11th? Should I buy more you think?
-
@luckypenny: I used an ovulation calculator that told me with a 31 day cycle I should O day 18 (My FF average gave me 28 days & 31 days so I checked both & so happened to followed the 28 day cycle this time). I think I would start testing on CD 10 and then get more if you need
-
@pui: checking in on you! I'm glad to see that it is a treatable issue! I have Graves Disease which is a form of hyperthyroidism and when it was untreated, I didn't have my period for 6 months. Once I got on the proper medication, I had normal cycles. This was about a month into treatment so there is hope!!! You will also feel much better physically a couple weeks in.
-
@runsyellowlites: got it! Thanks
-
@luckypenny: I know that's probably way earlier than you'd *need* to start but I'm sure like me you'd hate to *possibly* miss it! lol
-
@runsyellowlites: exactly! DD was a "surprise" so I'm new to actually keeping track and planning
GL!
