Re: **Newbie Playdate** Flamefree answers to ?s
Another temp question...I have my alarm set to 6:30, but I often wake at 4am needing to pee. I know I could set my alarm to 4am, but I think DH will get annoyed quickly. He can never fall back asleep after he wakes up. A 6:30 alarm works well because he needs to be up about then anyways.
Any ideas on how to temp in this case? Also, if I wake up before my alarm at any point, and don't get back to sleep, should I still wait until 6:30 to temp? Sometimes I lay awake waiting for 6:30 (or even 6) to temp, and I don't know if that's the right thing to do or not.
If you're within 3 hours of your normal temp time, temp then. If not, and you can go back to sleep, then do that. You can technically temp 30 minutes before and 30 minutes after your normal temp time and it won't affect your chart.
Can you set your phone to vibrate so you don't wake him?
Thank you KdgTeacher. I've been waiting for one of these to ask my question.
Eek, here goes:
I got a call back today regarding my pap & I've been told I have a bacterial infection (gardnerella). I've had absolutely NO symptoms of this infection. How does this affect my fertility (while the infection is present)? My doctor wasn't available for questions. I've Googled around but find many & varied answers from one far end of the spectrum to the other. I am just wondering what you or anyone else's take on this might be.
(or if anyone has experienced this while ttc).

Were you prescribed an oral medication? I would guess that once completing this medication you would be considered to be in "full working order again."
And since conception can take several days after sex to happen, I'd say you still have a chance. I don't know however if it can/will interfere with your dh's swimmers or with you O'ing. I'd call back to your dr tomorrow though. Good luck!
Normally, referrals to RE are given after 12 months of TTC (if you are under 35) and after 6 months if 35 and over. That is if you have normal cycles and O. Also, the issue comes with insurance coverage...usually if you have not been TTC "long enough" they will deny coverage.
However, totally talk to your provider about it at you annual appointment...you are going to your OBGYN, right?
Gardnerella is a normal bacteria found in the vagina, that commonly "over grows" causing an infection. Each provider is different, but some would even choose not to treat if you are having not symptoms. Usually you are given a choice of oral or vagina meds to take. The vagina medication may mess things up a bit, just due to the fact that it is placed either in bed or right before you go to bed for about 7 days. However, having the bacteria (like we all do) should not interfere with TTC.
But talk to your provider about what is best for you.

I would get an obgyn now. You want someone who knows you and you're comfortable with delivering your baby and giving you your prenatal care.
Yes, I was prescribed metronidazole. I haven't started taking it yet (I'm about to go pick it up) & I am on CD15. Thank you for your response!! It is much appreciated. I will def call the Dr tomorrow. I hope it hasn't take me out of the running this month.
& thank you blubo for the information as well! I appreciate it.

I would think you could potentially conceive during your period/spotting that you described. I know that when practicing FAM you are supposed to abstain while bleeding/spotting if your period is longer than 5 days. I am also thinking the degree of bleeding and how long it continued might affect the likelihood.
TTC#1 starting Feb 2011, BFP #1:5/31/11, CP: 6/6/11; BFP #2: 7/9/11, loss confirmed 8/3 with D&C on 8/12 finding complete molar pregnancy. Forced break until Feb 2012. My blog
I absolutely am loving the conception chronicles!!
Thanks for replying. I think I'll stop trying to figure out what is going on and do a little research on the Provera to put an end to the madness...if normally my chance of getting pregnant is 20%, and this makes it less than that, there is no reason for me to keep bleeding!
It shouldn't. It should just give you a fresh start to a new cycle. I would bet the provera has nothing to do with the newly wonky cycles and that everything else going in is the culprit. Good luck!
I don't know if y'all will be able to answer this, but it's worth a shot...
I was diagnosed with PCOS today. My doctor wants to start me on Metformin as well as Clomid because I'm not ovulating. I'm wondering if it's really necessary to take both, or just one or the other, or neither. As I've said before, I'm not a huge fan of medication. Also, I'm wondering if I should look into seeing an RE, or if my ob/gyn will be fine. Anyone with any experience/opinions on this would be helpful!
The metformin will help with insulin resistance that's common with PCOS. The clomid will help with ovulating. I would personally seek a RE since most ob's don't monitor you like you should while on clomid. Good luck!
As long as your lining shed completely, it doesn't matter how short it is. However I'd call my dr just to be sure since 24 hours is pretty short.
Hmmm, if you have a pink dye or digital I'd confirm with that first. Frer's and digi's won't give you false results if you make sure to follow the time limits.
I really have no clue about the CP. I really hope that's not the case
I had a possible CP last fall and the wondering is awful. Good luck!
After ovulation it's not uncommon to not have much cm. (I see you're 5DPO according to your chart) I would only be concerned if you don't have fertile cm before O.
Sorry! Reading comprehension fail!
In that case, maybe the next two or so cycles try checking internally (maybe you are getting some and it's just not enough to notice outwardly?) and then after those few cycles maybe make a call to your ob. And it couldn't hurt to try some Pre-Seed to help swimmers along. You can get it on Amazon and at CVS.
