**Weekend Crazy Train**

BethKate2

This is a thread posted daily for any of us who need to get out our frustrations about waiting to O, the 2WW, or vent about our cycles. If you find yourself checking FF obsessively, MF is getting the best of you, or you just want to pee on all things, let it out here!

In order for the conductors to be better able to help you, please make sure you either have a FF chart link in your sig, or make sure you post a link. Don't chart? You should consider it, not only will it give you a lot more insight to your cycles, but conductors will be able to answer a lot of your questions just by looking at your chart! To learn more about charting, check out the charting course that FF offers:https://www.fertilityfriend.com/courses/

The CT is not the place to post a BFP. If you have a "squinter" or if you have a line that appeared after the time frame, please do not post about it here. Take a step back from the board, test again with FMU, and good luck!

Crazy level: 8 19 days ago my betas were 1700.... My temps are still all over the map and I'm so freaking exhausted. Ugh. I just feel like it's a constant kick in the gut to have pregnancy symptoms for this long without OBVs being pregnant. I just stopped spotting, and have no clue when my body will regulate and AF will arrive.

@LauraO11‌ big hugs lady

BethKate2

@Laura011, I'm sorry. Will you have betas drawn again at some point?

@LauraO11‌: I don't have anything to say that could make it better, but just wanted to send big ((hugs)) and let you know we're there for you lady. Hang in there!

Just a temping question... are you supposed to/Do you temp while mensing? I want to try temping this cycle so I can use ff for more info and I'm approaching cd1 so I just wanted to know beforehand.

BethKate2

@sarcaztic10, I'm sorry about your temps causing craziness for you! Could the progesterone be causing the wonky post-O temps?

@Pickles4Prez, FX your temp continues to rise and that FF gives you CHs within the next few days.

@stinybean, some people do temp during their periods, but some don't. I don't because my temp tends to still be a little higher for a few days and I also temp vaginally, so I have no desire to do that while I'm on my period. FF needs 6 temps before O, I think, to give you CHs, so starting up after your period ends gives most people enough temps before O.

Thanks ladies. @BethKate2‌ , I called my family doctor this past week about the high beta and the u/s. Because the OB is doing some of it, it felt like no one was really paying attention to me. Thankfully, my family doctor took the time to call the OB and a radiologist to examine my case. The plan is to continue to monitor, as my betas are slowly dropping, and my uterus is shedding with each u/s. He said he would order another beta draw in the next couple of weeks to make sure it's still dropping.

Thanks @BethKate2‌ and @Pickles4Prez‌ ! I was planning on temping vaginally so I definitely was hoping for your responses

CD 16

Can I just UNDERSTAND my body already?!

My crazy:
I've been on Synthroid for a month and a half now. My period was the lightest/shortest it had ever been. My temps are going up up up but I never got a positive OPK and I wasn't expecting to O so soon! I really would be happy if I start to O earlier and have shorter cycles. The crazy, crappy thing is we were avoiding for DH's SA today so, we definitely missed O if it already happened. I just want to understand my body!!!

@sarcaztic10‌ did you get a bfn today or did you skip testing?

BethKate2

@YorkieLove83, sorry your cycle is being confusing. I wouldn't say that your chart necessarily looks like you O'd already, but if you temp continues to rise, FF might give you CHs for CD 14 or 15. Hopefully your temp comes back down and you get a +OPK soon.

FWIW, I've been on thyroid meds (levothyroxine, not synthroid) for about two months now and haven't seen any change in my cycles at all.

@littlecookie I tested this AM and got a BFN.

Did you use a FRER? I tested at 13dpo my loss cycle in the am with a FRER and that was a bfn at 3pm I took a dollar general cheapie and turned it positive. Have any cheapies?

littlecookie

Weird. Thinking of you dear.

@BethKate2‌ I'm on Levo too. People just seem to recognize Synthroid more easily. The doctor said it may affect my cycle since I'm on it to make my antibody level go down. The weird period could be a coincidencei guess I'll just wait and see!

I hated all the repeat Betas.  It's like a kick in the teeth every time and then another mind game until you get the results.  Hugs to you!

Sounds like your family doc is a great advocate for you!

Crazy: 5
Cd17DPO3

I have a feeling this cycle is not the one. I think I have let my body have it's own train wreck due to stress. Plus I think my OPKs were a little too old.

CD11-CD17 I used the OPKs cd14 was iffy by being lighter than I would like. I took out the results on ff to make the ch on my chart solid instead of the broken red lines I was getting with them applied. I noted on the days instead, so it shows ####### across.
I still plan to go in and have my progesterone tested as planned for what should be day 7 after a positive OPK. Which will be this thursday CD21.


CD15-CD17 has been very stressful because it is our loss annv and I haven't been able to eat without nausea or even worse.
I'm thinking this is why my temp went so high. I have never recorded a temp as high as 99.08.

FX my stress hasn't gotten the best of this cycle.

For anyone wanting to have a look.

**update
Temp dropped and ff took away the my ch. I replaced the -OPK info after and tested today. The test line on the OPK is starting to darken again. I did two this morning. Going to buy a new pack today.
Maybe the stress of last week is prolonging the cycle?

@Amybunny30‌ ,thank you ((hugs)).
I was honestly so upset, eyes puffy and stinging from crying the morning I thought a maybe. I remember it being close to the same shade but not darker than the control.
I'm going to say no.

I still have a little time for a little hope this cycle...FX

I knew the first annv would be hard but I didn't think it would make me as sick as I have been. I finally have a little appetite back and the other issues have fallen to the wayside.
