Hellobee Boards

@MrsMccarthy: Yes, I am still on progesterone. I am leaning towards using progesterone tonight, then temping tomorrow and POAS. If my temp is still really high and BFN, I might get a blood test since I have heard that some people can have a negative urine test and a positive blood test. If I weren't on the progesterone, I would just wait it out, but with the progesterone, it is so much harder!!!

@AmeliaBedilia: I'll bet! What a headgame to have no AF but also no idea if if its just the progesterone or a late implanter. Has your doctor talked to you about clomid at all? My doc said women with LPD and progesterone issues sometimes the root cause is not ovulating strong enough. You have to be careful with it and make sure guy have a good lining as it can thin the lining but I know many women who have had success with it too when progesterone didn't do the job.

This morning I had a brown clotty/ewcmy type streak when I wiped. It wasn't dark and I'm assuming it was just leftover from my bleeding post EB but it was weird. I hate having no idea where I am in my cycle! Ugh!

@Snowdrop: thank you! I am nervous but I feel ready now. It would be wonderful if I could get KU while still nursing him but at this point I just don't feel like I can waste any more time. I hope I am rewarded with a pregnancy in the next few months so that I don't regret it. I keep reminding myself that either way it will have to end some time end he has been SO cuddly since I started weaning! I think he actually wants me more now!

@Keppa thinking of you too girly! Remember, if your not ready to fully wean you can always try roving feeds and tweaking things for a couple months first! It didn't work for me yet but could for you and I think you are younger and have fewer potential issues than I do! If you need support I am here!feel free to wall me as well. How is your current cycle going?

@Crystal: your husband is adorble and will make such a wonderful daddy.

I've missed so much and I have so much work to do and can't catch up!!

Just wanted to check in and send my love to everyone.

This board has moved so fast! I wanted to check in, I'm waiting on my AF/POAS date which is probably 6/1 or 6/2, thereabouts. I'm wary of how many people (myself included) have gotten false negatives from the recent batches of Wondfo HPTs so I'm considering waiting until my period is late and then going straight to a FRER. At any rate, I'll wait and see how this POAS date goes before "officially" joining this thread with backstory etc. Still hopeful to get out of here (And, also trying to stay busy/distracted from all this stuff - we would have been announcing to our families this week.)

@PawPrints: I always think its good to wait until AF is due or late. But I'm sitting here at 10dpo and itching to test! I've never used a wondfo for anything so I don't have any advice there. Sorry!

Thank you for all of your kind words on my chart, ladies! You all are getting my hopes up! I did wonder about O on CD15, and that makes sense to me, and was the timing I was hoping for. I've also had sore breasts since Sunday, but that was just 3ish DPO, so I feel like that is too early for it to actually be a symptom. I have no idea what else would cause it, though, so who knows. I *might* have brought a couple of wondfos with me on vacation, so I might take one tomorrow, before we head home, just for kicks.

@sapphire: I have a former coworker who swore "all you have to do" is BD EOD on CD10-20. She says it worked on the first shot for her for both of her girls. Maybe not so easy in practice!

@AmeliaBedilia: Have you said what kind of tests you're using? I would do what you're talking about for tonight & tomorrow: take the P one more time & see what your temp/a test says in the morning. And if you feel like you need a blood test, ask for one! The more info the better.

@PawPrints: FX for you! Maybe you can test with wondfos now, just in case, and then use a FRER once AF is due? This is the POalltheSes board

@MrsMcD: I so hope this is it for you! I'll adopt @septca: 's role as the POAS pusher & encourage you to do so sooner rather than later!

@MrsMccarthy: I hope you get some answers soon! FWIW, I have just gotten 1 pos OPK, even though I test at least twice a day. This month they went from almost nothing in the afternoon, to clearly positive in the morning, to almost nothing again in the afternoon. Hopefully it was just a short surge and/or diluted urine this time, and you'll have a BFP before you know it!

@Crystal: I love their OPKs, which have never steered me wrong. But their HPTs are made of lies. Little pink lies.

@PawPrints: lol!

I agree, I like the OPKs. It's just the HPTs I don't like.

Hey all! Just wanted to check in. I haven't been on HB much lately because it's blocked at work... I try and read but it's not as easy to comment by phone/iPad. So, here's where I am right now:

CD: 10
Cycle #: 15 since December 2012
TTC #: 1
POAS date: June 21 for now
Backstory: None really? Had a chemical pregnancy back in September. Went through all the RE work up and nothing's wrong with DH or I. Had one medicated cycle but had to stop IUI. Won't be able to do IUI until Augusts cycle now.
June TTC plan/something new you want to try: Keep on getting it on! That's about it.
Best thing about your weekend: No plans, just lots of DH time since I'm out of town all next week for work

ETA - I don't mind having these details posted here but I'd rather not have it all posted on the roll call list.

Just wanted to pop in here and say that I'm cheering for all of you

Hi all!
This board is moving at the speed of light! I've been soo busy and haven't had time to catch up til now. I'll add more info later, but for now I'm just letting you know that AF came early - on Thursday, which was also my Birthday! (Happy bday to me? ). Still had a fab bday celebration! DH took me and my parents out to a fancy dinner, then surprised me with tix to Cirque du Soleil! Incredible show!

Anyway, as for TTC, I'm feeling really disheartened at the moment. And really tired of thinking about it. Sigh.
I'm actually wondering about taking a month off- June will be the most stressful for me and DH in awhile. I feel like we have enough things on our plate without needing to think about TTC too!

I'll likely still be following along here and cheering for everyone! I hope to see lots of BFPs soon.

Also...

I love love love "Keep Calm and Get It On"!!!

Temp a little lower today. Two BFN this morning at 14DPO. I slept ten hours last night, but not that unusual for me. I am leaning against a blood test and just stopping progesterone. We are now clearly past the year mark and onto cycle 15. In my mind, infertility diagnosis means not able to have kids. I do not think IUI, IVF, or adoption are right for us. I feel like this will never happen.

ET A: I am trying to focus on the good: I won't be 15 weeks pregnant when I start the new job. I would rather have a March baby than February. I can enjoy my two months off between jobs without morning sickness. DH and I get more us time before baby (he just moved back about two months ago since he was away for work). I wanted to have the house organized before I got pregnant. DH an I can be more settled in new jobs- with all the changes in our lives, maybe a baby is too much.

A few months ago, some of us tried to work on other projects so we weren't so focused on ttc and so disappointed when it didn't work. Is anyone else interested? I am thinking of working on gettin rid of clutter and organizing the house.

@AmeliaBedilia: I would also honestly rather have a baby in March than February!! It's warmer and beautiful in march!

@AmeliaBedilia: @MrsMcD: Was just thinking that this morning, if this cycle fails - moving on to a March baby instead of a February baby would be a MAJOR silver lining! Yay spring.

@PawPrints: #siliverlinings !!!

@LIL BEAN: Hugs. I'm turning 37 on the 8th so I feel your pain. I have a lot of friends who conceived at our ages though. It took then a while longer but it did happen. Adoption is wonderful too. Either way I hope you'll stick with us for support.

Things seem to have blown over with my husband and I'm so glad. I'm sure there will be ups and downs. God I hope we can get KU soon. I hope we all can. This definitely won't be our cycle but I'm very hopeful for the next couple of gos.

@MrsMcD: @PawPrints: @MrsMccarthy: Thanks!

@LIL BEAN: hugs!

So on a good note, DH was able to get a SA and the results are normal. I am torn between being relieved and feeling like it is my fault. When I told DH this, he sarcastically said, "yeah, because I'm sure you're trying to sabotage this," and gave me a hug. So at least he doesn't see it that way. My FP said that if DH's SA came back ok, that she was convinced it is an issue of LP defect (which progesterone should help) or stress (which two months off and new job should help).

The annoying thing is now I have to wait a few days for AF to come since coming off progesterone.

@AmeliaBedilia: normal tests are always a good thing! I'm glad for you! Hopefully a little more time will do the trick.

@AmeliaBedilia: have you been taking B6 for LPD as well. It seems to help a lot of women. Some can see results with 50 others need 10mc. Vitex can also help.
