kandmrod... I need the luck!!!

ttcmbbaby

So went to get blood work yesterday... hcg was zero (no shock here) but progesterone was a 9.8 so she said I ovulated last week. I had a total of 5 days with EWCM spread out but last week I had EWCM and temp spike on Nov 28 and then just EWCM 29 and 30... We bd the 25th - we would have the 28-30 but I had really bad allergies and didn't feel up to it and he didn't want to bd with a runny nose person... So we have a SMALL chance... So can I have the luck back please? Gotta wait until the 19th of December unless af before that... So far I have ZERO symptoms... so we shall see...

I sure hope i can bring you luck this cycle.  That would be so awesome to get your BFP

I hope so too even though it's just a slight chance... If not clearly we will try in Jan and all... but would be nice to know something before Christmas... Though not sure I'd be willing to spill the beans to all so early again... but would be nice still... guess either way will be nice to know something before the holiday anyway... How is all with you? Any issues/symptoms...

A holiday surprise would be nice or at least just to have a plan of action set in place.  I always felt so relieved to have a plan lined up following a BFN.  I am doing good. Thanksfully no morning sickness although i wasnt really expecting it since i didnt have it with DS.  Just really tired and my boobs are ridiculously sensitive.  I am just anxious to get to my ultrasound on 12/18 to make sure everything is going good. I guess the doctor is waiting to give you a plan until after we know if you are KU?

Yes waiting for the plan, though the nurse did say yesterday that we will follow same protocol since it did work - so letrozole 5mg and hcg trigger shot... I'm hoping they will consider putting me on some type of progesterone something... because I think that is an issue, but they don't do enough testing IMO to know what is a problem and what isn't.... Just like they have me diagnosed with PCOS because the us but never have run ANY blood work to determine if that truly is what it is... But obviously if I am KU then we will have a different plan... guess time will tell... Glad you aren't really sick! That never is the fun part... your other two symptoms I had with both so pretty typical. At 12/18 how far will you be - 7-8 week? I'm hoping that if/when we do get KU again they will do a 6 week us... I think I'll be too crazy having to wait it out....

Yeah hopefully they will put you on progesterone if you if you have to get to the next step.  My RE does it as a precaution.  He is actually keeping me on it my entire first trimester because recent studies have shown it helps to prevent premature labor down the road.  He says no matter what it is still really good for the placenta.  I trust him so I will keep up.  Its not really the most lovely of things to be on for such a long time but if the doctor orders i will do it.  For the us I will be 7 weeks.  I wish it was next week but he said just in case dates are off a little he likes to see the heartbeat and doesnt want to discourage anyone if its a little too early.  So I am impatiently waiting for the 18th.  When will you be able to know if you are KU?  Im guessing you will wait 2 weeks to POAS or will they have you come in for repeat bloodwork?

7 weeks isn't too bad... at least you won't be totally nervous and freaked out because you should see the hb then rather than going early and not finding and stressing for a week for no reason... so I can understand that... I'm waiting for blood work that will be on the 19th... I refuse to poas anymore because I feel like there is no point to it... With DD I didn't test positive until I was 7-8 weeks but the past two months I have tested early by like a week and had faint lines each time... that's when I had the chemical/mc and the month prior I had an elevated hcg to a 2 (still not pregnant) but a very low progesterone... which is why I think that's a problem... I think being on progesterone is helpful yes, because yes it helps to support the placenta to develop. Your progesterone feeds your baby until the placenta is developed enough to take over. Therefore, if you don't have enough to feed the baby it won't survive... Well mine stopped growing twice technically so yeah I think it's a problem... I'm pretty much to the point that if they don't do something soon I'm switching which would mean going from a 45 minute drive one-way to an hour and a half one-way but if it gets me better results... then it's worth it to me... I feel like I just keep wasting money and time just waiting...
