My dog sits on my lap with his paws on my tummy when I have really bad cramps. He is a healer.
AFM 9/10 dpo. Just waiting for AF so I can be rid of these terrible cramps. I have never been this crampy. Hopefully once AF is here they will be gone.
Whelp AF is here BUT I have noticed my LP is getting shorter. I hope it's just because I am not regulating yet. It was only 10 days this time. The first cycle after my loss it was 11 days. I am usually 14-15 days LP. Is this a bad thing? (I did have the CP last cycle.)
@justsuzie my normal LP is 12-14 days and was only 10 in my first and only cycle AL so far.
It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most...not where you live, or what you drive, or the price tag on your clothes... There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind, this I've come to know! *ZBB*
@justsuzie. My lp was 11 my first cycle. It has subsequently been 15,14,13 the last couple cycles. Never been the most clock work person in the world but never tracked before ttc and never did temp and opks before the month I got ku

I had my blood draw this morning for my progesterone. I was kind of ticked at the nurse because I had a balance of $14 and she wasn't going to let me get my blood draw unless I made a payment which normally I do but it was from that CD3 blood work back in December. Originally insurance may not have covered it and that blood draw was around $1300 out of pocket so I didn't want to chance it and bought all the blood work from my chiro instead for $192 and went to quest to get it drawn. They should have never turned it into insurance but they did so that leaves me $14 so I guess it would have been covered by blue cross but I shouldn't have to pay it since I bought the full order from my chiro. Billing wasn't open today. I basically told her the story why I shouldn't pay for it and also emphasized progesterone has to be tested on a specific day and I've been waiting 3 freaking months for this blood draw so I wasn't going to come back like she suggested. She finally decided to take my blood without me paying the $14. I'm not a cheapskate but it's principal to me. quest never should have turned it into insurance.
@Mack2342 Hope you don't mind my lurking and responding. I saw your OPK situation and had, had something similar happen to me before I figured out what was happening. My understanding is that you are supposed to stop testing after the peak reading. If you keep using sticks, the flashing is just measuring for the presence of estrogen, which you will still have after ovulation has occurred. Do you always continue to test after the solid peak?
@BornReady. Yes I always test after peak and my pattern has been two days of flashing two days of solid then back to low. This is the first time I've had the flashing go on after peak like this. A couple times when I was trying last time around I got one day of flashing after solid but this is now going on day 5
@Mack2342 Hmm, how interesting. I had an instance where I got multiple flashings after peak and was doubting whether I ovulated or not, which is why I responded. I contacted the company and they told me to stop testing. It drove me nuts. Good luck, and hope it gets sorted out soon!
14 dpo I think, so I took a test and got a faint line! Excited but super nervous. Praying this is finally the one...

AFM, 10 DPO and spent a good 10 minutes trying to will a line to appear on my test. I kept thinking I saw something, but I think it's just cause I know exactly where the line should be. I'm sure I will be a test fanatic until AF comes.

I'm just chilling here at 4 DPO... Time is dragging this TWW, but I'd like to hold off until 11 DPO for testing. H and I have a wine club event that night, otherwise I'd try to hold out for 12 or 13 DPO.
I'm 9 DPO and patiently awaiting to hear back about my progesterone results. I don't feel any different yet. I usually wait for my boobs to swell up and hurt knowing AF is right around the corner but not yet.
Thanks everyone, but it's not looking so good for me. I had some spotting last night and my beta draw from yesterday was 7. Unless things drastically change I expect I'm looking at my 4th MC and will be back here to try again. This situation feels hopeless.

@vlagrl29 Yes I had RPL testing done between October and January. They did a ton of blood tests including DNA and Counsyl, semen analysis, dye test, saline sonogram test to follow dye test, checked the number of eggs, etc. Everything has come back clear. Their only guess is that it may be bad embryos. So our only choices are to keep trying naturally, with a low percentage of success each time if it's bad embryos. Or IVF which is ungodly expensive and insurance doesn't cover a dime of.
