Re: TTCA35 Weekly update: 10/30/17

  • @Labluver2 I’m like 4/5 days late! I told SO  to kick me in the uterus see if it’ll get things moving  lol! We had good laugh and he told me to stop thinking so much about it

  • Well I'm officially CD1.  AF started early along with cramping.  The 1 thing I can always count on is my very structured and on time cycles.

    @ndz2018 - was that blood work they already did on you?  I've had all the tests and OB can perform for fertility.  If we see an RE in Jan. maybe he/she will do additional testing.

  • @Labluver2 - GL with FW.  It is frustrating that everything is normal in OB world and I'm her like SMH WTF?  There's got to be something right?  I'm just guessing it takes longer cause I'm older this time around.

  • @vlagrl29 This was just the initial blood work from our first appointment which you probably had done with your OB it sounds like. Did she test your AMH levels? Just curious since we are they same age what yours is? I keep googling and it says if it’s higher than 4 it’s often PCOS, which I have never been diagnosed with.
    My AMH is 4.17 so it’s slightly over 4. Not sure if it’s something I should be concerned about or not, or maybe I should put my phone down and stop googling!! 
  • Stop googling!! Just ask your doc. Yeah all of that stuff was checked for me with cd3 blood last dec. I just remember all was normal range. I'd have to check on the actual number.

  • @vlagrl29 Google is my best friend and worst enemy lol  
    how about this?? I’ll stop googling on this Specific thing for the rest of the day :wink:
  • I don't google anymore it just makes matters much worse and my anxiety kick in.

  • I met with my doctor again today and found out my Vitamin D level is low go figure.  I need to add that to the list.  Funny how the OB said it was normal.  Next time I see her she is going to give me chiro adjustments in my hip pelvic region.  Supposedly my vitamin pack to help my blood sugars will cure my hypoglycemia and in a couple months I will only have to take 1 a day to maintain it.  I get all levels rechecked first of december.

  • @vlagrl29 How funny when I spoke to the nurse this morning she said I was a little deficient in vitamin D too! My level was like 29.3 and normal is 30. I wasn’t too concerned Bc I take vitamin D supplements already.
  • well the normal range is 30-100 and my new doc says that even in the low 30s thats too low and might be going hand in hand as to why she said my immune system is low functioning.  I guess when you see an MD or OB the normal range of things is rather quite huge but in reality the range is rather small and you can still be low.

  • @vlagrl29 Maybe it takes some time to rise? I’ve been taking them for a few weeks now.

    Here is my regimine for 1 month

    amino all 3 daily
    thyraxis 2 daily
    omega 3 4 daily
    glysen synergy 1 packet twice a day
    vit D 10,000 ius

    on my own I've been taking PNV and ubiquinol 400mg

    she looked at my blood cells thru a microscope and could tell I was on AF lol.   She did say I was a rarity in that I don't have much issues. Guess you can tell a lot by looking at the cells. I did see what a cell looked like that had free radical damage. 

    Also @ndz2018 I had read the egg book and 2 things the author said to have checked were vitamin D and thyroid. If those are off it can affect fertility.

    @vlagrl29 WOW 10,000 IU of Vit D? Interesting I was taking 5000 maybe I’ll up it a little bit as I’m sure they’ll do blood work again
  • Right? I need a supplement organizer I feel.

     Now this is just getting RIDICULOUS!! Could’ve swore I was getting AF today I was all crappy last night felt it coming, nope still nothing. I’ve been googling and looks like I’ll be going to the supermarket today to pick up some parsley for parsley tea, lemons for warm lemon water ( a friend suggested it) and some vitamin C. So annoyed!
  • Wish me luck first round of parsley tea ready! LOL Ill trying anything at this point! Honestly it really doesn’t taste so bad!
  • When can you take a pill to jump start it?
    Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker
  • I asked the nurse if I could take anything she said I gotta wait it out :(  @vlagrl29
  • wait it out how long though? @ndz2018 - you'd think in another week or 2 you could jump start it.
    Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker
  • Wish I knew! I’m gonna give it till next Wed then I’ll be like 10 days late I will call her and see if we can’t get this rolling. For now it’s parsley tea and maybe some sex tonight. I should probably have worn white pants to work lol
  • Oh and now the parsley tea is starting to taste NASTY! Ugh 
  • you shouldn't have to work this hard to start AF lol - the lengths we go thru to get stuff done.

    I know, RIGHT!!?!? It’s like I feel all crampy and TOTALLY pms-y but there’s nothing! SO said it’s not helping anyone being all stressed about this, and I need to stop Then continued to send me articles how stress can delay your menstral cycle, UMMM thanks Einstein !! Bc you know,I haven’t been getting my period for like 24 years! Men lol
  • @ndz2018 I was a week late one time BC of stress I finally tested and I'm not kidding 10 mins later I got it. Your body has a way of playing tricks on you. Men don't get what we go thur mentally or emotionally. Mine says if you just relax and think positive it will happen. Yeah because I haven't tried that. I remain hopeful but realistic at the same time. I'm def in a better mindset when all of this started. Hopefully AF will show soon so you can get started.
  • @labluver2 - right like I haven't tried stress free either :)  I'm in a better mind frame as well.  I'm actually really satisfied with life right now, happy with where we are at, and feeling content.  Dh is taking me out on a date tonight to some vip event a client gave him tickets too. I get to dress up and where heels which I'm sure will kill me cause I don't wear heels anymore.

  • @Labluver2 YUP still not here. Took about 3 tests this week all negative. I’m totally trying not to stress about this, but honestly it’s all I can think about. SO is fed up with hearing me complain about it so I’m just gonna keep it to myself today, actually that’s a lie lol I just came from my moms where I complained to her. She told me it took her 3 months to get a positive pregnancy test at the dr when she was pregnant with my brother in 1982 so maybe you are, not helpful MA, at all LOL She means well. TW She got pregnant with my sister, me then my brother all in 3.5 years but she was also 21,22 and 24 when she had us. Oh not to mention 1 MC between me and my brother! END TW. 
  • Also I don’t know if it’s the Vit C from
    the lemon or the parsley tea like 30
    min ago but these cramps just got HORRID! 
  • I'm just going to put this out there and I know some may not agree with me - every month we have tried perfect timing with me using OPKs has NEVER worked for us like ever!  The month I conceived our DD and our loss we were just going with the flow not caring about timing.  The month I conceived our loss I remember I had EWCM and made sure we BD that night.  So you know what I've decided is to throw it all to the wind and do just that.  We shall see how this works.

  • @vlagrl29 same here I tried opk but I don't think they worked I've tried temping a and timing. Now we just bd during fertile window and when I get EWCM I make sure we def bd during that time otherwise we try every other day. After this TWW we will beginning IUIs again same as trying naturally as far as BDing. I've been drinking apple cider vinager in hopes that it helps with my pH and makes it a better environment for sperm. I'm still willing to try some stuff but not going crazy.And I gave up google that was causing me the worse a anxiety.
  • Yeah I've researched enough @Labluver2 - I'm going to use those pre seed applicators this cycle but that's it. And my gazillion supplements.

  • I’m so calling to nurse tomorrow if AF isn’t here. I know I’m probably stressed about it. I have gotten stuff from my Gyno before to make my AF get here but maybe they don’t want to do that? anyone have any idea why they wouldn’t want to do that?
  • UPDATE - Spoke to my nurse this morning .. pending I don’t get my AF between now and Thur I’ll be going in for more blood work and US on Thur morning. 
  • That's great news @ndz2018 hopefully if they don't see anything you can get the party started
    Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker
  • seriously! I just need to get answers! 
  • You know I’ll get it tomorrow or my luck Thur morning LOL
