May WTO

weareturtles

For those of us patiently (or not so patiently) waiting...

I'm CD11, but probably won't O for another week.

ladipale

Man - I forgot it was a new month.

I'm CD9 and will probably O by end of the week but not tracking anything besides CM so we just DTD at least every other day

MooFish2364

I'm at CD6 so I have a while before o. Not really going to try too hard this month since I'm having my fibroid surgery in June right after af. I'm just hoping its he right decision. 

Mack2342

I'm at CD7.  Ultrasound Monday to determine shot and insemination date.  We are planning on BD towards end of week just in case I O early.  Last time first cycle after MC I Od early at CD 10.  I'm going to start OPK tomorrow 

amberruka

CD6 for me too. I start OPKs around CD10 as they seem to be pretty pos regularly around CD14.

hdaley

Cd12 here.  Will probably O sometime this weekend.  Only doing OPKs this cycle. Temping last cycle was too stressful.  Fingers crossed the sperm gets the egg for us girls!

ladipale

It was so so so hot yesterday we almost didn't get our CD10 session in - but DH changed his mind when he got back from the office at 11pm  

Mack2342

@ladipale. Glad you got that clean out session in!

SP128

Clean them pipes !!

vlagrl29

So funny! Why not clean them when you are fertile? Just curious. I was thinking about trying that in next cycle. Have us hold off a week and BD when I first notice fertile CM.

SP128

Cause I want the healthiest swimmers for fw!!!  We get kinda lazy with bd when it's not fw

Mack2342

My doctor told me when you wait for days there a lot of dead and/or bad swimmers in there so to BD a few days before FW

vlagrl29

oh that's interesting.  I would have thought there would have been more swimmers.  I know when DH had his SA they had him hold off for 4 days.

BelhurstBride

CD11 here with zero signs of O. Which I guess is just as well, we've been so busy trying to wrap up this bathroom reno that we're just plain exhausted. 

weareturtles

CD14 here and no signs of O. I seem to O between CD16 and 19, so hopefully I only have a few more days of WTO.

ETA: I should say I DO have signs of getting ready to O - I tend to get 6 days of EWCM before O and I've had that already, just no temp increase or positive OPKs. Tapping fingers...waiting impatient...

hdaley

@weareturtles we are cycle buddies!!!! Today is CD 15.  Last cycle I ovulated on this day but I still haven't had a positive opk.  Cycle before last I ovulated in cd 17. Fingers crossed for us! 

We have had sex 5 times already since cd 9.  We are going to squeak in tonight (cd15), cd 16, and cd 18.  Really wish we could get in cd 17, but DH leaves on a work trip. I mean that's gotta be good timing right?  

hdaley

Scratch that.  Positive opk this morning!  

jchpg

I'm CD11 today- it's my first full cycle after my MC so I'm not sure how my timing for O will be. I've been away at a conference since CD8 so I was worried we might miss it.. I'm not tracking and and only watching CM... and so far this month I think I'll still be in the game

ladipale

DH got a little too drunk last night and passed out so we missed CD 12 - damn it!!

vlagrl29

I go here now. AF came today. Couple days earlier than I thought.

weareturtles

@vlagrl29 sorry to hear about CD1

@ladipale lol!

@hdaley Nice! You will definitely have good timing! You're also ahead of me as I'm still waiting for positive OPK, though I've had EWCM and I was HSO yesterday. Temps haven't budged... ugh. We've been solidly BD every other day for the past week, and plan to continue until temp shifts, so hopefully our timing will be decent if/when O happens.

vlagrl29

It's ok @weareturtles I expect it to come every month so it's no shock.

dh wanted sex last night but I was tired. Now that AF came I told him to give it a few days. I told him we should have double the sex this month. Why not?

SCK2411

Unfortunately back wto... Af came today, fingers crossed that this month will be better.

vlagrl29

At DDs dance recital my mom says my tummy looks bigger do I have a bun in the oven? Uh no mom that's just AF bloat. I'm petite so any bloat is very noticeable. 

weareturtles

Positive OPK tonight, ruined by this morning's appt to check my lining. I have almost no lining now because of the Asherman's, so implantation is potentially not even possible. Then I came home to a letter saying that my primary OB/GYN, who I absolutely love (and switched a few OBs to get to her) and has seen me through most of this process, is changing roles and no longer practicing obstetrics. I'm in a very bad place right now.

vlagrl29

oh no @weareturtles - I'm so sorry.  I know what it's like to find an OB you love only to have them leave the practice or retire.  Are there things that can be done to increase your lining?

ladipale

Oh @weareturtles - I am so so sorry. The OB news would devestate me - I wonder if its worth talking to him/her directly and seeing if s/he is willing to still see you through as a patient? I know that my OB got me in to see an MFM who has mostly administrative roles now but sees a few patients and will continue to see me. Does s/he email? Or give him/her a call and chat - ask for recommendations, etc. I get it - losing my OB would be heartbreaking.... 

Mack2342

@weareturtles I'm sorry.  That's horrible.  I would be heartbroken too if I lost my OB 

dpjennifer

@weareturtles Ugh... sorry that the hits keep on coming.    I second @ladipale saying to call and see if OB would make an exception for you.  Worth a shot.  With someone that's been through as much as you, maybe you can garner the 'pity' vote and still see her.  

sprkls8506

@weareturtles that stinks about ur OB. I agree with the other girls-cant hurt to ask if she will still see you. 

Well CD1 for me. 

tlq0726

@weareturtles I'm so sorry you could be losing your OB.  I googled AS, and I'm sorry that you're going through that.  Is there anything that can be done in your case?

weareturtles

Thanks everyone. I do plan to have a heart to heart with my OB since she is still planning to practice gynecology, just eliminate obstetrics from her practice. Perhaps she would be willing to make me her one exception...gosh I hope so...

I sent a message to my surgeon asking if there is anything we can do to increase my lining - she replied she doesn't do that, which made me frustrated and want to speak to my regular OB even more since she tends to let me do what I want.

In other news, huge temperature spike this morning, so I am guessing I O'd yesterday/last night. Not much hope for this cycle given that I am dealing with virtually no uterine lining for implantation. I may be moving over to TWW soon...

vlagrl29

@weareturtles - I have hopes your Dr will see you and then once you get pregnant you'd have to find a different OB in the practice.  For years I saw a nurse practitioner I loved at my old OBs office.  Once I got pregnant with DD she recommended an OB for me.

amberruka

@weareturtles sorry to hear about your OB, I hope you get some resolution in the matter. 
OPK+ at CD12, a few days early for me. No EWCM, but I had none last month either. God, I hope I can get DH into bed tonight. May have to pull out the big guns.

Mack2342

@amberruka. Pull out those big guns! 

vlagrl29

DO IT!  @amberruka - if you have to take one for the team dress up and make it hard for him to say no - it takes off the pressure too.

BTW I only had a 3 day period this cycle - wtf?  It's already over. as of last night.  Thanks to the CP I only have 2 days pre af spotting instead of the 5 days pre af spotting prior to that pregnancy.

amberruka

SO....guess who couldn't finish tonight. F*ckity fu#k fu*k fuc$ing sh@t f*ck fu*k. Yup....from being overtired and "the pressure" of the FW. He is willing now to take a little Viagra just during FW. I just sent in the f#$king prescription. 

Mack2342

@amberruka. That sucks.  Hopefully viagra helps.  I had friends that had to go that route and it worked for them. 

NewMommyCoop

Lurking from TWW - @amberruka I am so sorry! I know exactly what that feels like. DH has HBP and when it gets too high or the doc increases his meds, or when he is under a lot of stress, things stop working down there for a while.

SP128

@amberruka well f!!!!!!!  I'm sorry thst happened. Hopefully the little pill will do the trick. So frustrating

cd1 here. 

vlagrl29

ugh!  @amberruka -  does he really get that stressed out about FW that he can't perform?
