~Weekend Edition Crazy Train~

GavinRonansMom · January 2013

I will be on and off today, but will check in as much as possible

This is the place to vent about your cycle, symptoms, MF, obsessive FF checking, 5DPO BFN's, and all things TTCAL that are driving you completely out of your mind!

Feeling like this today?

Your level of crazy on a scale of 1 to 10:

CD and/or DPO:

Can I just ___________ already?!?!

Signs & Symptoms:

Additional crazy here:

lsuhoneybadger · January 2013

Your level of crazy on a scale of 1 to 10: 5

CD and/or DPO: CD11

Can I just __who knows!_________ already?!?!

Signs & Symptoms: None really.

Additional crazy here: I normally don't O before CD 15, and it's usually much closer to CD 20. Therefore, I was completely thrown off this morning when I got a peak reading on my CBEFM. A low yesterday, no high readings and then a peak today. CM has not been a good indicator at all this month so who knows WTF is up with my body right now. I guess as the old saying goes, when in doubt, hump it out!

I sent you a friend request when I saw that P this afternoon. I was also shocked! I would start the BDing and hopefully this is it Yeah for the CBEFM!

Lol-yea, I was totally like WTH?!? But so glad I was using it because I hadn't even started OPKs yet due to my lack of CM.

I used mucinex this cycle and I felt like it did increase my CM a noticeable amount, so if there is a next cycle you should try that.

jszy10 · January 2013

ooh good...I needed this

Your level of crazy on a scale of 1 to 10: 7-8

CD and/or DPO: CD31, 9DPO

Can I just ___get to 14DPO ____ already?!?!

Signs & Symptoms: temp dip at 8DPO and creamy CM for the past 3 days

Additional crazy here: My chart looks just like it did (CM and temp dip) before my first BFP, so I'm sort of optimistic here. I am a little worried about getting a BFP (even though I want one more than anything) because I had to start taking muscle relaxers and prednizone two days ago because of a severe back problem. I'm not sure if these medicines would have an affect on my pregnancy or not.

can you link your chart so we can see it?

I would def. call your doctor about the meds, I wouldn't want to give you the wrong information.

a temp dip *could* mean implantation, but really only time will tell. You are almost there, FX!

jszy10 · January 2013

Omg...I poas at 8dpo, so if you're crazy I'm full on nuts this cycle. I don't know why I did it, just needed my fill I guess since I didn't use opks this time.

I'll work on linking my chart! I'm out for dinner now.

snegde:
I peed on a stick at 9dpo so I'll let you decide how crazy I am.

Cd20 / 10 dpo.

No symptoms.

I thought if I tested yesterday it would quench my urge but no.

jszy10 · January 2013

Oh also...Dr knows I'm TTC and was in my 2ww, so I am assuming that she took that into consideration. I'm going to stop taking them after today just in case because I'm feeling like I can tolerate it now. I'm also scheduled for an MRI tomorrow, which she didn't seem worried about. Honestly, it all stresses me a little.

Yeah I tried that a few cycles ago (I tested on 10dpo) and all it did was make me feel crazier! 9dpo is so super early so you aren't out yet. Do you chart (I already forgot if it is in your sig ha). When are you planning on testing again?

FX! You are almost there. Only a few more days!

Butting in: Wanted to let you know that MRI is safe in pregnancy. It uses magnetic waves and NOT radiation, and there have been no studies suggesting that MRI has adverse effects on pregnancy. Unsure of the medications, i would ask your Dr to double check if you do continue them or if you're really concerned. Even though you're in 2ww, you're not considered pg, so a lot of docs disregard that info when Rx'ing temporary meds (unless it's ob or re).

::Butting out::

good luck with the MRI.

belle4304 · January 2013

I've never checked in on the crazy train before but since I am now in the 2ww of TTCAL Cycle #1 I figured I'd sure to be getting crazy here shortly

Level of crazy: Currently only at a 1 but I'm sure that will change as I get further into the 2ww.

Can I just stop looking at my chart already?!?!

Currently CD 18/3 DPO (Crosshairs today, woot woot)

Signs & Symptoms: none

Additional crazy: Finally had a positive OPK (after reading that your surge could last less than 24 hours and to test more than once a day). Had a positive late the night of CD 15 and then the morning of CD 16, but then gone by 4pm of Cd 16. So I've just been slightly confused at that not matching my temp, but whatever! LOL!

It is so easy those first few days once the CHs come...its like a relief! I hope you are able to stay clam-ish...as for your CHs I understand what you means with the OPK, but it is possible the CHs could change once more data is entered. If not, it might change by a day maybe, but it won't make too much of a difference either way. GL!!!!

Alicialgb · January 2013

Your level of crazy on a scale of 1 to 10: 6

CD and/or DPO: CD9

Can I just __get a good ovary check_____ already?!?!

Signs & Symptoms:

I've taken five days of letrozole, had five Gonal F shots in my belly and I'm having my second ovary check tomorrow. My follies are not cooperating at all, and my E2 is super low. Things are moving waaaayyy to slow for me and I'm annoyed!!!

Additional crazy here: My DH gives me my shots because I'm a ninny about needles. He pressed the injection button last night because his head was in la-la land but he hadn't injected me yet...I watched 37.5IUs of Gonal F spray on my stomach. ...sigh... we were able to inject the rest of it, but I was still pissed! Now I'm going to play "what if" in my mind...

I am sorry, I have no experience with what you are going through. What does this all mean in the TTCAL world? Is this something you have to take before O? DOes it help you O? I am sorry, I am uneducated in this area and feel so unhelpful...

I am sorry that some of the shot sprayed on your stomach, I understand the "what-ifs." I hope that everything works out so you don't have to play the "what-if" game.

No worries, I got a little crazy out and that's the point! All the meds and the shots are for to make more follies (the meds are doing the work instead of your own hormones). Your follicles have to be bigger than 18mm before they'll let you trigger (e.g. trigger with a shot to ovulate) and then you either BD away or get an IUI. We're doing both. Just usually I go in for my first check and we're ready to go. This time it's slow as molasses and I'm getting worried and frustrated!

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it! That is definitely reassuring, just in case.

I have to say your chart looks very good! Look for me and friend me, I would love to chart stalk ha! I would try and wait until Tuesday, or a maybe tomorrow...in "theory" IF that dip was implanting (and that's an if since it is not overly common) it would take a few days to show up as a positive. GL!!! FX

ok, I understand now...I think...ha. I hope that when you go in your follicles are looking a lot better and you can trigger. I will be thinking about you! FX

jszy10 · January 2013

GavinR -- I'm not sure how to 'friend'!?! Can you friend me somehow??

and thanks for the feedback! I confess that I POAS again this morning...crazy level is up to 8 or 9 now!!!! I think weekends make it harder to sit around and wait. I'll be glad to get back to work tomorrow and stay busy, because I REFUSE to POAS again until 14dpo.

jszy10 · January 2013

Oh! NVM! I think I friended you haha...I'll enjoy a little chart stalk too

that seems to make more sense. I know it is frustrating because now you have one extra day, but it's ok. I am also 3dpo and plan on testing on 13dpo, we can be test buddies ha

you didn't friend me. What you need to do is click on my chart, and when the screen comes up on the left towards the top it will say "Add to Friends." Click on that and it will send me a request.

jszy10 · January 2013

Hmmm I did that...maybe I tried to friend someone else!? Lol ill look again!

Oh..and I'm on my way back from the hospital without my MRI being done because the guy highly advised against it if I wasn't sure if I was pregnant or not. Had to reschedule for Thursday. :-P. I told him my DR knew and she thought it was fine and he went on about me having to sign a waiver so I couldnt back in 9 months if something went wrong.

Yea! Yesterday I noticed that you only needed one more temp to get CHs. I don't like to test mid week so I'll wait (maybe) until 15 dpo, if I even make it that far...
