Hellobee Boards

@Crystal: there was a girl who took antibiotics while TTC and got pregs that month. She took TTC friendly ones though. Did you tell the doc you are TTC?

@dc yoga bee: thanks.

@AmeliaBedilia: that's true!!! Thanks!

@MrsMccarthy: I did tell him, but I don't know how much he cared... He asked how many DPO I was though, so hopefully he took that into account.

@sapphire: thanks.

@MamaCate: My general rule- as much as you can (assuming no male factor problems), but at least every other day. (Failure to launch does not count.) Sometimes you can O off schedule and it is so aggravating to miss a month due to bad timing.

CD11 here. I think my thermometer may be off. I took my temp and it said 98.10, 5 minutes later was 98.40, then rechecked immediately and 98.35. Assuming the last two are right, I had a potential implantation dip CD10, although it could just be bad thermometer.

There is talk of a number of our friends going to a water park with lots of adventuresome water slides. What does everyone think? I want to go because some of our friends will be moving very soon, and due to DH's work schedule, I won't get to see DH much this weekend.

@MrsMccarthy: That must mean you should test at 6DPO, right?

Wow, @Crystal:, that's a serious case of bronchitis! Ain't nobody got time for that!! (I hope you get the joke.) But seriously.. that sucks. Can you still travel as planned?

@MamaCate: I'd BD tonight, if I were you. Tell DH no more failures to launch permitted.

@AmeliaBedilia: I've always found myself to be untrustworthy of temps for the reasons you stated. But I hope you did get an implantation dip!!! As for the water park, why are you wondering whether or not you should go? If you are freaked out by the kids that poop and pee in waterpark water, then I'd say don't go. But if you have no concern over the cleanliness of waterparks, then why wouldn't you go? You should have a blast with your friends!

@MrsMccarthy: I hope your dream is a sign! And a Portland rainy day does sound like a dreamy day to me, actually.

@mrsmcd: My appt is tomorrow! Uggghhh how frustrating to have results but not know what they mean! Your ordering Dr should explain them to you when you go in. Do you have an appt? My Dr office called me on Monday and said they got my results in and wanted me to make an appt. Uh, what does that mean!? Abnormal?? **sigh I'm eager to go tomorrow but also a little scared.

@MrsMcD: Thanks! it's really nice and warm and light rain too. bringing out all the good smells. I don't know anything about Progesterone but I know that in some case even people with low normal are put on clomid to strengthen their ovulation so I would wait to speak to your doctor about the results.

@organicmama: I had the same shit! I had to wait so long i was going crazy as you know. In my case everything turned out to be normal and good but for lower normal iron levels. I hope you get some good fixable answers.

If you girls get two different kinds of CM in a day which one do you mark. My CM was EW yesterday morning but by afternoon it was scant creamy. Should I mark creamy? dry? or EW?

@organicmama: Oh man! So, my doctor sent a letter which said, amongst other things, "Your day 21 progesterone was 12.7 this is consistent with ovulation." I have an appointment next month because of other things on my end that prevented me from getting an earlier appointment. I just want to know what is considered the "BEST" blood results for CD21.

I hope you get some great results at your appointment tomorrow. Please try not to worry until you have a reason to worry.

@dc yoga bee: Thanks! That is reassuring to hear.

@MrsMccarthy: Thanks for the response. I'm totally getting clomid next month. But I just like instant result interpretation also! I'm a little inpatient that way!

@Snowdrop: Thanks. So some girls are getting a 20+!?!? And I'm at a 12.7..... this causes my heart to drop a little bit.

ETA: But is that 20+ with girls who are on progesterone supplements?

@MrsMcD: for what it's worth I never did till I was pregnant. Over ten is still ok though, much better than what I was getting. My main low progesterone symptom was lots of brown bleeding at the end of my period. I had a normal length lp but this brown bleeding showed that my lining was not developing properly. I was actually quite glad about havong low prog because it was something that could be fixed (and was very easily). Yoirs is loads better than mine though.

@Snowdrop: Thanks, lady. Sorry you had difficulty with low progesterone. I just wish we could all have the best CD21 progesterone levels in the history of medicine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Snowdrop: Sounds like you have a great consultant. And it all worked for you! I suppose I am in the throes of testing. Just preliminary bloodwork completed this week, and an HSG on the 7th. And then clomid. I hope something works. I'm ready to leave TTC behind!

@MrsMcD: I hope the HSG and all of this ends up good for you and if there is an issue it is fixed easily and gets you KU ASAP!

@dc yoga bee: You are still early in the game yet but if after a year of trying you arent KU I would consider getting a second opinion because these doctors don't always know what they are doing unless they are an RE. I think you will be KU before any of that though. I really do.

@dc yoga bee: Like @MrsMccarthy: said, you are still too early for anything like clomid. I don't recall my doctor's specific reasons for suggesting clomid. She more or less suggested it as an option, and I said yes, that I want it. She also more or less suggested an HSG as an option and I, again, said yes to that. These aren't things she said I must do. But they are next steps in the process. I think there is no reason to think I need to jump right to IUI or whatever else is next, at least not as of yet. But when I see her in mid-July, I will ask your specific question and tell you what she says.

@MrsMcD: Awe you don't have to do that!! I'll be seeing an RE in October if we get to that point. But,that's 4 more months!

ETA: I started takin vitamin b complex this month for my short luetal phase and I've had sore nips for a week! I also felt nauseous yesterday and today, but it's only 6dpo

I am next up- oh, the pressure! As for the water park- it is more like an amusement park meets water park. We went last summer, and think I recall many of the rides not recommended for pregnant women. The question is whether super early matters.

@MrsMccarthy: Thanks! I love the idea of planning what treat if I get a BFN. Sunday DH is gone, and I'm contemplating an entire day of relaxing and not accomplishing anything. I am open to other ideas, though.

Here's my official craziness: we plan to cloth diaper, and I think I know what kind of cloth diapers I want to use (bumgenius). They're normally $15-25/each. There is a garage sale Saturday about 30 minutes away where they are selling them for $3-5/each. I am contemplating. One potential idea is to POAS that morning and if BFP, then go. Thoughts?

@AmeliaBedilia: Ohhh... I see the concern over the park now. But I wouldn't even worry if you haven't gotten a BFP yet. Just my thoughts. And yes! You ARE up next. No pressure or anything. But I'm sure no one minds if you test early.

@dc yoga bee: Sounds like some good symptoms!

@MrsMccarthy: Thanks!

@AmeliaBedilia: barely any of the "do not do during pregnany" co concerns apply very early on. And amusement park regulations are more about liability than anything else. I would go and enjoy!
Also, just me but I wouldn't stockpile a bunch of baby stuff if not KU yet . I hope it's soon for you, bit it could likely just make you feel bad if it doesn't happen soon... Use the money to treat yourself instead! There will be plenty of sales and time to get things when there is a baby on the way.
