May TWW

@amberruka - I know, right?! Last time this happened was last September (then I got pregnant 2 cycles later) and OB thought is may have been a CP. At that time I was doing OPKs so thought I ovulated around day 10 - 12.. this time, who the Heck knows. It explains why I've been so emotional this week but still sucks. I'll follow up with OB on Monday with an email.

@amberruka I am rooting for you!

@ladipale Ugh, I am so sorry. Why can't our bodies be more predictable?

vlagrl29

Everything crossed for you @Mack2342

My hCG rose to 219 today. I hope to see all of you on the grad board very soon!

Mack2342

@NewMommyCoop. That's awesome!  Congrats!!

SP128

@Mack2342  I feel good about this!!!!

@ladipale  Sorry for the short cycle.  Hope the next cycle is back to normal!

@amberruka  Glad Viagra worked.  Fx for you

Mack2342

@SP128. I'm feeling positive. This was so much less stressful for me 

SP128

@Mack2342  Seriously.  I think knowing I'll be getting some science in my life is the only reason why I'm not bat shit right now.  DH and I will BD as normal during FW and if nothing we will get some help.  I'm not too hopeful on the fresh transfer but would be looking forward to the frozen transfers.

@NewMommyCoop congrats!!


Ok so AF came 6 days late...which wasn't a surprise labs showed no ovulation.
Moving to 100mg Clomid.

hdaley

Holy macaroni @ladipale that sucks big time!  Not only the short cycle but not having a long enough break between bleeding and cramps sucks too.

Mack2342

@sp128 I needed to not be stressed after this last loss. I hope it all works for you

vlagrl29

@SP128 -  why would a fresh transfer not work as well as a frozen one?

SP128

@vlagrl29 I have heard that frozen has its advantages bc it's not done the same cycle so it gives the body time to recover from all the meds. I'm also doing pgs testing with the frozen ones. It tests for chromosomal abnormalities. Only extra or deletions though.

@NewMommyCoop congrats! Hoping everything progresses.

4DPO so I'm jumping over here. Timing is fine, my lining is non-existent, so I'm not getting my hopes up over here.

Betas will be checked on 5/22 and my next hysteroscopy is 5/23. AF expected 5/24. Fun...

Hi All. I think I go here now.

It has been a crazy week- so I haven't been very active here. I am now CD19. Not tracking so I'm not sure when I O'd. But it should have been by now. We DTD on CD 12, 13, 15. I am hoping we have a chance. This is my first full cycle after my MC in  late March... so I'm having a hard time with timing and tracking CM- everything is a little different. I've had EWCM from CD 12 through now (CD19). Its never been the drawn out before. I'm not sure what the means. Its such a strange feeling being totally unaware of what my body is doing after things going like clockwork for so long before. 

I would have liked to keep trying this month- but DH had to abruptly leave- his grandpa got very sick and passed away so he flew back to the US. As we are currently in different countries - that stops the trying!  

@Mack2342 - Sending good luck sticky vibes your way!

@ladipale - So sorry about the short cycle! That's crazy, I hope your doctor will be able to give you some insight.

@amberruka - I'm glad the little blue pill helped! Whatever it takes. I really think the pressure of all of this gets to everyone.  

vlagrl29

@jchpg - my first cycle out from the loss I had tons of fertile cm it was crazy. Watery and stretchy. The 2nd cycle out was more like normal.

Chawk17

@jchpg I'm also on my first full cycle after MC...everything I've heard said this cycle is going to completely different! Only difference for me was AF was  6 days late so I'm at a 34 day cycle and I didn't ovulate this go around.

My fingers are crossed that you have good news this month!

amberruka

Thanks @jchpg. I haven't had EWCM fur the last 2 cycles, hahaha

jchpg

@vlagrl29 Its nice to hear you had a similar experience- Its weirding me out. Either I've been "extra fertile" or now that my DH is away we just totally missed ovulation. 

@Chawk17 Thanks! Yeah I have heard/ read the same- but Dr. Google can be super misleading too! So Im always weary of what I read.  AF was just 27 days after my MC "officially" started- I was shocked... I hadn't expected it so quickly. I am not sure if I've ovulated but from CM I think so? I am considering starting to track, but I'm worried it might make me even more crazy then I already am. 

@amberruka Exactly my point with the CM and tracking- I have no idea how accurate any of this is- I imagine people get pregnant even when its not really apparent. 

Chawk17

@jchpg I do the opks religiously and it said I ovulated ( clear blue with steady face).
However, I have to get labs on day 21 of cycle  ( Clomid patient) but my labs said I didn't ovulate....so now I'm a little confused which was correct ( I only have one tube so if I DID ovulate on the side without a tube..I would still have had AF).

hdaley

I definitely been cramping the past couple of days.  

vlagrl29

@jchpg - I was using OPKs that month to get an accurate prog test and it didn't turn positive until a few days after all that mess. It would literally soak thru my underwear and 1 time dropped on my foot. Of course we had a ton of sex cause I didn't want to waste it. Didn't get pregnant though  

hope those are good cramps @hdaley

hdaley

Hide all the tests!  7/8dpo.  Period should be here Friday.  I hate this part.

tlq0726

Good luck @hdaley!!!!!!!

jchpg

@Chawk17 this is exactly why I'm weary of starting to track and trying to not drive myself crazy. 

@vlagrl29 yes it's just like this for me! I keep thinking maybe AF is crazy super early because it's so much fluid. My body is so strange. 

@hdaley FX for you. I agree with "hide all the tests" I'm about 6/7 dpo (if I ovulated this cycle and before DH left). I know it's too early but I keep thinking- maybe I'm nauseous/ Do my boobs hurt? For the last day or two I've been just feeling them to see it they are sore- it's ridiculous. I told DH on the phone today that I might pick up a test to check- he told me I have to wait until he gets home! Which is probably best and I'm sure it's still too early......

RiverSong15

*lurking* @Chawk17 OPKs test for lueteinizing hormone, which just predicts that you might ovulate in 12-48 hours. While most women do end up ovulating after a positive OPK, not all women do. So, you might not have ovulated. On the other hand, CD21 testing is really supposed to be done on 7 DPO - CD21 assumes you ovulated on CD14. If you ovulate later than that (say CD19 like me), CD21 bloodwork would be too early and would falsely tell you that you didn't ovulate when you really did. Hopefully that helps.

Congratulations @NewMommyCoop! 

I am so sorry to hear about such a short cycle, @ladipale

FX @Mack2342! 

BelhurstBride

Temp drop and BFN at 9DPO

Mack2342

@BelhurstBride. Sorry about the negative and temp drops.  FX you are not out.  

hdaley

@BelhurstBride I caved and tested this morning too.  I swear I saw somewhat of a line but for now I'm calling it a BFN.  Fingers crossed for both of us.

ladipale

Hang in there @hdaley and @BelhurstBride

SP128

@hdaley & @BelhurstBride  FX for both of you!
