Hi ladies! I hope you're all doing well this week! I've retyped the check-in rather than copying and pasting this week with the hope that it'll fix the formatting issues I've been having. I'm posting this as-is to see if it works and I'll go back and add personal messages after. If there isn't a personal message for you yet, check back in a bit!

LSS ☆☆ 1/4/13 @Poppy715 ♥Addie♥ ☆☆ I hope all is well with you, lady!

EDD ☆☆ 1/24/14 @sunnydaysarehere ☆☆ I hope your Bump break is treating you well.

EDD ☆☆ 1/27/14 @BethKate2 ☆☆ Hi!

EDD ☆☆ 1/5/15 @Amybunny30 ☆☆ Hooray for a negative HPT this morning!

EDD ☆☆ 1/8/15 @JellicalParker ☆☆ Welcome to the check-in. You mentioned last week that you've had one normal and one abnormal cycle since your loss. How is your current cycle looking? Do you chart or anything to track ovulation?

EDD ☆☆ 1/10/15 @CFearsy ☆☆ Good luck at your doctor's appointment today!

EDD ☆☆ 1/12/15 @rslh10 ☆☆ Sorry for the BFN. When do you expect your period?

EDD ☆☆ 1/12/15 @Lalalady54 ☆☆ I read about your OB issues in the TP thread. I want to TP her too! Have you gotten in touch with anyone yet? Hopefully they can get that bloodwork ordered soon.

EDD ☆☆ 1/21/15 @GreenEyes842 ☆☆ Sorry about the temp drop this morning.

EDD ☆☆ 1/24/15 @jj32 ☆☆ I hear you about slow drivers. It's one of my biggest pet peeves! Also, I noticed you had some spotting yesterday. Is that normal for you during your LP?

EDD ☆☆ 1/25/15 @ImJessesGirl ☆☆ I'm sorry you have to be here, but welcome to the check-in.

EDD ☆☆ 1/26/15 @mpiemont ☆☆ It looks like you're getting negative HPTs now, and your temps have dropped quite a bit. Hopefully that means you'll have dropped to 0 when you get your betas drawn later this week!

EDD ☆☆ 1/30/15 @HoldingOutHope ☆☆ Good luck at your RE consult tomorrow!

Bumping this up with my update so that everyone sees that I added the messages!

I've got a busy fertility-related week this week. Yesterday, I had an u/s and blood drawn. The doctor said I got an A+ on the u/s and that everything looked good (no cysts, no fibroids, ute looked normal for CD 4, a few follies on each ovary). The only blood tests that are back so far are FSH and Estradiol and both were in the normal range. I'm still waiting on the rest of the blood work, though.

Then, tomorrow, I have to go back for a beta hcg because it's standard procedure before getting an HSG done. I wish I had known about that ahead of time because maybe we could've tried to coordinate my appointments a little better. The HSG is Thursday morning, and I'm nervous about it, but I'm also looking forward to having it done and over with.

Lalalady54 · July 2014

@BethKate2‌ morning dear!! Thanks for the check in! And yay for A+ 's at the RE

I did get my labs drawn and just posted a novel about it in the newbie check-in, long and short was 2.5 hours, 3 pokes and 17 vials of blood and I was done...now to wait for results.

Otherwise this week should be O week (I'm hoping before our week goes to crap on Thursday-Sunday with hectic work schedules) so FX it happens soon and then the 2ww begins.

((Hugs)) to all the January ladies this week!

BethKate2 · July 2014

@Lalalady54, I'm glad you were able to get all of the labs done! Hopefully the results won't take too long. FX you O soon and end up with good timing!

ImJessesGirl · July 2014

Hey there everybody... it's my first time posting in here. My due date was January 25, 2015.

Nothing new to update since I had my own AW post yesterday.

@BethKate2 glad to hear good reports from the RE!

@Lalalady54 can't wait to hear the results!!!

BethKate2 · July 2014

@ImJessesGirl, I'm sorry you have to be here, but welcome to the check-in. I saw your post yesterday. I'm sorry you've got so many hoops to jump through before you can start TTC again. ((hugs))

I'll add you to our list now so that I don't forget next week.

BethKate2 · July 2014

@CFearsy, that's awesome that you went back to pilates. I'm sitting here in my gym clothes trying to convince myself to leave the house. haha Good luck at the Dr's today!

BethKate2 · July 2014

@HoldingOutHope, I hope my HSG is as easy as yours was too! Good luck getting the ball rolling with testing. It looks like you're 6dpo already, so you shouldn't have to wait too long for CD 3 testing. I had my consult 4 days before I ended up ovulating, so I had to wait almost 3 weeks before we started testing.

@Amybunny30, that's a lot of hpts you've had to go through! Glad that's over with now.

JellicalParker · July 2014

Good morning. I am currently tracking AF and CM in between, considering temping but not yet. Called my OB and she told me its normal for the body to take time to reajust after a loss, but she has given her all clear to TTC.
We are currently in the FW, hoping to hit the mark.
This weekend was rough, on top of having several friends come out at PG and due in Jan15, it was the anniversary of a close family death. So I was kind of a royal pain in my husband's side.
Currently mobile, but I will check on your updates later ladies

mpiemont · July 2014

@bethkate2 Glad your US & labs were all good!

@lalalady54 Here's hoping for O. Or at least time for a few quickies!

@imjessesgirl I hope today is a little better for you. So sorry you're dealing with all of that!

@greeneyes842 Yay for free interior decorating tips. My house is a disaster.

@cfearsy Enjoy the pedicure!

@amybunny30 Yay for a BFN. It's weird to be happy for a negative, isn't it?

@jellicalparker Sorry you had a tough weekend. Hoping you hit the mark this week!

@jj32 any chance O was on day 17? Not sure that really lines up with CM but there was that temp dip then jump. Not that it would explain the spotting. Early AF? Implantation bleeding?

AFM, I'm just obsessing over my temps and getting super excited that they are finally back in my usual pre-O range. I'm trying to tame my urge to POA OPK 50 times a day because I don't really need to catch O this cycle, i just want to be sure it happens. OB appt is on Friday and I don't know why but I'm strangely looking forward to it. I have some questions and just want to get the definite go ahead to TTC.

BethKate2 · July 2014

@jj32, I wouldn't be worried about the spotting. If it starts to become something that happens during your LP every cycle, though, you might want to mention it to your doctor because it can mean you've got low progesterone. Wonky cycles happen, though, so I wouldn't be worried at this point.

@mpiemont, good luck at your appointment on Friday. Hopefully you get the go-ahead!

@JellicalParker, I'm sorry you had a rough weekend. ((hugs))

mpiemont · July 2014

For anyone who wants to look- did you see that awful out of whack temperature on my chart this morning? I was up at 11:15, 2, 3, 5:20...and TA DA! a weird temp. Charting makes me a crazy lady.

mpiemont · July 2014

Yeah I'm thinking it wasn't quite O time so hopefully I get back on track by then.

rslh10 · July 2014

Hey @bethkate2! Thanks for the check in! I know I’m late, sorry! It sounds like you’ve been a busy lady in the fertility world! I hope everything went well, and that it all keeps going well for you!

@lalalady54 I read your TP (maybe?) to your dh. I hope he gets on his game and gives you what ya need! FX!

@imjessesgirl Big hugs. I hope you’re feeling ok today!

@greeneyes842 I hope your weekend with your parents is a good one!

@cfearsy I just had a pedicure today! I hope yours was as wonderful as mine!

@Holdingouthope I hope that your testing went well today! Big hugs!

@amybunny30 Yay for negative hpts! About time Thank you for all your continued support and love! You are the sweetest.

@jellicalparker FX for FW!

@jj32 Hmm... I hope that you get the wonky spotting figured out! I know that personally since DH and I have been ttc, I noticed my cycles getting longer by a day every few months, and that would move my O date back (per my ovia app, I don’t temp) I was a cd15, then I went all the way back to cd19. I asked my dr about it and she said that it was normal. I found it weird because I was ALWAYS a 28 day cycle, and O on cd14 then when we actively started it got longer and longer. SO weird. Stupid body! hugs to you!

@mpiemont I hope your OB appt goes great on friday! Keep us updated Also, I’m sorry temping is making your cray cray

AFM- I am 14dpo getting a BFN on a FRER. My dr wants me to keep testing (and taking progesterone) until tomorrow. This evening I started getting armpit pain, and creamy lotiony CM..this happened with my BFP cycle, but there is no way in hell i’m going to get a BFP. My body is playing a sick game with me lol! I just want to test in the am, stop taking the progesterone and start moving forward. I don’t know what the next step for us is. I’m still going to push for one more round of clomid/trigger/progesterone. I feel like I just responded to a lot of you in the newbie check in! Big hugs to you all!

BethKate2 · July 2014

@rslh10, I'm sorry about the BFNs. As far as the symptoms, keep in mind that the progesterone is going to cause early pregnancy-like symptoms (fatigue, creamy CM, sore boobs, etc). I hope this is it for you, but try not to read into the symptoms.

Im totally not

I know that i'm out for this cycle, and I'm ok with that I think, but getting bfn's still sucks. :-q

mpiemont · July 2014

@rslh10 I'm sorry for the BFN. I know how much they suck.

Lalalady54 · July 2014

@rslh10‌ sorry for the bfn

Ok I have a question, maybe you all can help me. I had my D&C on June 13, I had my first negative hpt (wondfo) at home on June 27, I got my first AF post D&C July 6, I just had my labs drawn Monday and my hcg beta is still 7.6, so my question is was that really my first AF or just residual bleeding from my D&C? I was convinced yesterday would be O day based on temping, CM, but now I'm thinking there is no way, anyone else experiencing this, have any advice??

BethKate2 · July 2014

@Lalalady54, I *think* you can still get your period even if your hcg hasn't reached zero, but I could be wrong. Maybe give your doctor a call to see what he/she says.

Lalalady54 · July 2014

I planned on calling but it's still before 7am here so I don't think my doctor will be in yet

(plus I happen to know my dr is on vacation this week so I may have to wait till Tuesday

, lame).

I bet you could call and talk to a nurse or someone if you really wanted to.

Lalalady54 · July 2014

No, I absolutely could you are right @BethKate2‌ and I know you all aren't a substitute for the dr, I was just wondering if anyone had/has had something similar. I'm sure it's all fine. Plus my dr/drs office tends to be so relaxed about everything the typical answer is, "yup that's normal"

Lalalady54 · July 2014

Thank you @bethkate2 and @greeneyes842 - I assumed it must be similar to something when you are low enough your body will resume business as usual

I sent my provider an email, its their preferred method of contact, so I am sure I will get a response soon

I will update if anything abnormal comes out of the convo.

mpiemont · July 2014

@lalalady - I am curious what they will say. It seems really soon after a D&C to have your period, but not sure about residual bleeding (assuming your bleeding had been gone before that?). Also I thought hcg had to be lower than that for your cycle to restart, but I am not sure. Do you have a link to your chart? Keep us posted!

JellicalParker · July 2014

@Lalalady54‌ I wouldn't stress too much about it. But then again my OB tracked my hcg to below 2. That was a pain, even though I had my AF after mine reached 8. Every dr has their personal preference though. Let us know what they say

Lalalady54 · July 2014

No news from my dr yet on the AF vs not AF situation, but got some of my thrombophilia labs back and my Factor V Leiden and my Factor 2 Mutation screens were negative, so here is hoping everything else just keeps coming back similarly

Thank you all for your help and support, it is so appreciated

pinkglitterfly · July 2014

Hello ladies. Finally feel like I belong to a group. lol. My EDD was 01/22/2015. We found out our baby bean was gone on 6/18/14. I had a D&C on 6/27/14 and have been coping with that. I haven't had any labs done since but did use up the rest of my digit OPK's and I am ovulating as we speak. I guess that is a plus for the moment. I am counting down the days until AF is supposed to come. I will probably never say this ever again....I want my period!

BethKate2 · July 2014

@pinkglitterfly, I'm so sorry for your loss. Welcome to the check-in. I'll add you to our list when I post this week's thread later today or tomorrow.

mpiemont · July 2014

@pinkglitterfly - my D&C was 6/27 (EDD was 1/26/15) and I am ovulating right now too! Sounds like our bodies are working on the same schedule! I cannot WAIT for AF to show up. (Also never thought I'd say that!). I'm so sorry for your loss. Welcome to the group.

pinkglitterfly · July 2014

@mpiemont‌ Is it weird that I think that is awesome and what kind of OPK's are you using? I used up the last of my clear blue digi ones and would like to get more but they are so expensive. The only plus side to them is that you get a clear yes or no it's go time. I actually got pregnant the first month using it so I trust the clear blue brand.
Also THANKS ladies for the warm welcome!
