Answer: hey callie, i already have yours. mine took a huge dip on CD5 and was wondering the same thing. but im just going to still chart and see what happens. how are you? =
Answer: yay tina!! i made a post on saturday looking specifically for you!! on your chart, i think its just a fluke cause you didnt have the 3 days of consecutive rise in temp.. thats what i think shows that you o'd. i think i am going to get opks to be safe. i made sure we bd'd this morning just in case!! how are you!! do anything good this weekend? =
Answer: i dont think i o'd yet, that is way too early, AF just left 2 days ago. but, im getting my pack tomorrow as well. you are 2 days ahed of me. I go and get my HSG test done today at 11am. very nervous about it. glad that you BD this morning, i hear that you have better chances in the AM than PM. I was extremely busy this weekend and then going out for business this coming weekend. But DH will be with me to BD. how are you? =
Answer: is the hsg where they do put the dye in the tubes? that kinda sucks about bding in the morning and better chances... i hate doing it in the morning!!! thats good that you get to take you dh with you. this morning after we were "done" i told him i think i might be ovulating early. he looked at me and i say.... what. you you feel used now?! lol.....where do you have to go on business? anywhere good? =
Answer: thats too funny. ha ha.. so your dh has no problem having to BD day after day? actually i live in NC and going to Asheville so its not far to drive but its beautiful in the mountains at this time of the year. my doc did tell me after having the HSG test, your chances are 30% greater bc. it kinda gets the "cob webs" out around the tubes. yeah, its that procedure so going to be uncomfortable. taking my mortin right now. are you taking your temp the exact same time each morning? =
Answer: pretty much... i usually at the same times as the weekend too, around 6:30. damn internal clock doesnt let me sleep in! its funny you ask that.. we have never had any problems in that department.. usually it me. but i noticed some fetile cm this morning (not much) so i went and used some pre-seed and woke him up. it was all good for a few minutes and the his "you know what" went back to sleep. !! so im my mind im thinking, there is no way im letting this preseed go to waste! so i tell him go to the bathroom and we'll try again! luckily it worked the second time. not good for the ego! hahah why do you ask? =
Answer: well it sorta feels like a chore than anything sometimes. trying to make it lively and fun is hard too ya know? just got back from my procedure, the cramping wasnt too bad. i took 1000mg of motrin an hour before so im pretty sure that really helped. in the meantime, everything looked good bit she could see tell where i had my ectopic pregnancy on one side which took a little longer for the dye to leak out. she said im not infertile BUT the moment i find out i am, call the doc to let him know so we can see if it isnt in the tubes bc. its liable to go there on one side. im just glad its over ya know? now just waiting to hear from my dh analyisis results which can take about 3 days to find out. =
Answer: aww im so happy it went well for you! and im glad the pain wasnt too bad. my mom said it was the worst cramps she ever had. i definatly here you on the "chore" part. lately, we have sex only up til i ovulate.. then it just seems like it doesnt happened until again after my next period. i dont want to only have sex to make a baby, but that is definalty where its going.... =
Answer: hi tina and callie...it's me redapple from the other thread. Callie, sorry I don't have charts. I tried this month, but I was always off on my times of taking temps. I wish I had have stuck with it. I also don't have a bb thermometer and don't think my digital one has as much weight. Tina, I wanted to say I'm glad the test went well, my sis had it done and she was actually one who got pg right away. HEr doc told her the same thing about clearing out the "webs" Hope it works for you. Callie, hope you are enjoying the pre-seed, and tina, I think it was you that said BD can be a chore sometimes? I agree....it is work and it's work to think about it all the time and to chart and to poas to check for o'ing. It just plain sucks...but we keep going, right? UGG!!! =
Answer: hey redapple, nice to see you again. im glad you made it over... that other thread was getting overloaded with people!! where are you at ein your cycle? =
Answer: i may have spoken too soon. been cramping alot since i have been back to work. i should have taken more motrin to keep it away. my dh husband said last month he felt like he lived in a frat house with all the bd'ing going around. ha ha. =
Answer: hey there redapple, seen to hear from you again. the other thread was getting crazy. i did end up buying one and it does make a difference whether you know you are ready for AF cause you temp just went completely down to knowing you did ovulate and it didnt skip you this time. if i were you, i would stop anytime you can buy one. ffriend is free for one month. where are you in your cycle then? i actually just got home cause i couldnt stand the pinch feeling anymore..its not so much the cramping but the pinch i have on my cervix. not to mention the dye is still passing through. =
Answer: hey tina, how are you feeling today? is the cramping still bothering you? my temp has gone down again today but i dont think its impending ovulation cause i took an opk and its still neg. you know.. ive never gotten a pos opk! =
Answer: good morning callie, actually the hardest part was after the procedure and not during. i kept feeling pressure on my cervix all night. motrin wasnt even touching it but im alot better today. do you take opk's in the morning? cause that could be your problem. dont take them in the morning, take them around 2pm each day. that is when you will see your LH surge. =
Answer: Good Morning familiar people. I have been stalking all of the spawns of the "two week wait" threads...my goodness! Obviously we all need someone to tell us that we are normal...ha ha, at least I do! Callie, I stopped temping, at least for this month. Since we just started trying I am going to do one month of relaxing and just bd alot! It feels kind of weird that I don't know what exactly is going on, but I remember feeling ovulation last time so I'll let you know how it goes. Tina...I'm glad to hear that everything went well so far. What did it feel like when you had your ectopic, how did you know? Redapple, and everyone (and Callie and Tina) where are you guys in your cycles? AF just finished a couple days ago for me (last cycle was 45 days long so not really that excited yet). I don't think I kept your charts...would you mind reforwarding??/ =
Answer: hey Tina I went through the same thing on mar17/08 I had a specialist appointment ...transvaginal ultra sound and they put the dye in and that was so painful..OMG...and they removed a small cavity from the left side ...now when I call my doc they have lost the report so I am waiting for them to find it cause I am not going through that again thats for sure =
Answer: Morning. Tina, glad you are feeling better. Did you get your results yesterday, or is this something they need to "study" If so, did they say when you can expect a call? Where am I in my cycle? Good question and I NEED YOUR HELP!!! I Know I'm in the 2ww. My question is trying to figure out which day I o'd. I don't udnerstand all this and hope one of you ladies can help me understand. So I took an OPK and got a definite postive on Wednesday around 3ish. Took another on Thursday and got an even darker line, this one was taken around 5ish. (couldn't take them at the same time b/c of work) Friday it was negative again. SO!!! My question is, I know O can take place what 12-36 hours...huge gap! But, did the darkness of the 2nd day test mean the O was closer, or after getting hte 1st postive on Wednsday was that enough? ALSO! I could kick myself we BD on Weds, Thurs, and Friday (since I got the first + on weds) I now wish we had have done so on Saturday as well.....I was just so tired of BD though! There has to be an easier way!!!!! :) =
Answer: my ectopic was before my son was born. i got off the pill and the bleeding never stopped so i went to the doctor and they told me i was pg. well, after doing alot of HCG tests, mine wasnt doubling up like it should have and i never stopped bleeding and alot of pain on my right side. so they went in and removed the fetus. they were able to save my tube which i was able to see yesterday on the XRay that is bigger on that side a little. so, she said, i could easily get another one. My chart is Home/tina2797. Callie and i are getting ready to do the BD alot this week. i think i O on Sunday. how are you stinkab, its good to hear from you again. i was so happy to hear you FINALLY got AF to arrive. i did look at your chart and noticed you havent been doing that. Wantbabyboy, it sounds like they did something different to you. what did they have to remove on you?? I had something called an HSG test. =
Answer: they removed a small cavity from the uterus on the left side ... =
Answer: hey stinkab!!! it makes me so happy that you girls came over here with me! i serioulsy could not breath over there!! i am so glad that af finally came for you! i think you are probably the only sensible here for taking it easy on the temping/testing madness! i simply cannot resist. my chart is home/callie.... right tina? hahah i changed it a few times but i think that is what i ended up with. according to ff i am in my fertile phase now and should be oing soon. as tina said, yes, it is that time to be doing alot of bd'ing......btw tina.. yeah i do take them in the morning. i didnt reallize i should take them in the afternoons! maybe that is why ive NEVER had a pos one!! i have 5 left soooo i will start today!! iwell, redapple... time to start the major obsessing! why dont you temp/chart? that is the only way to pinpoint without a doubt when you o. well, my bf has today off so i wont be here until tonight.... he is going to a baseball game and leaving me all alone! i will bd before hand tho so he's not so tired!! =
Answer: i hear ya redapple on Bd'ing. Okay, so it sounds like you got your Lh surge within 24 hours since they were both positive, one stronger than the other. remember that they say to BD even after you O. dont kick yourself, either way, you found out when your surge was and you did it around that time, you could have o'd 48 after you got it. now you are in the 2ww for sure! =
Answer: Oh, i forgot to answer your question! I was actually able to see my XRays right then and she went over them with me. My tubes are not blocked which means im not infertile but the right tube did take alot longer for the dye to leak out since i had my ectopic there 13 years ago. but everything looked good. now i hope with having the dye, we can get pregnant sooner so i have read and heard by doing the procedure. =
Answer: tina I just called the doc and they finally have found my reports so I am going in on friday for the results ...hopefully my tubes are not blocked .and they give me the fertility drug ..I would like twins but thats alot to ask for. =
Answer: wantbabyboy, how long have you been TTC? =
Answer: so the procedure you had will help a bunch? what type of meds are they going to put you on? =
Answer: don't know yet friday they will tell me about the tubes and then I think they are going to make my hubby test out and then they will recommend something ..when I do get prego this kid will be very spoiled I tell you that much . =
Answer: callie, where are you? so i checked my CM today and i think its time to BD, or atleast thats what my chart says, most fertile. the CM is not my expertise so i think i charted it correctly. i didnt check it really last time even though i didnt start the chart till late. =
Answer: hey tina, sorry i was mia for a minute... i had a busy day! so i was just looking at your chart and i will be so curious to see what your temps will be doing!! i think i may be o'ing too, i have the watery cm as well, but i still havent gotten a pos opk yet. in fact, it looks a little lighter then yesterdays. do you think it possible i missed my surge? i only have 2 left so i dont want to waste them. i would love to see a pos on at least one, they are so expensive! and, not to mention, so much easier to get a bfp on the opks then it is on the hpts!!! whne do you find out your hubby's results? i am happy that we are so close in cycle! i really want us to move to the first tri together!!!!!!!!!!! =
Answer: hey callie, are you still there? well, i didnt get the best news this morning. My DH analysis came back low. He is going to a urologist on the 27th of this month to talk about options. The nurse said that there is medication that helps and things he will need to avoid. Since hearing this morning about it, i havent been doing so well. this is going to be harder than i ever thought. before with my 1st husband, all i had to do was think of getting pg and i would be. so we are still going to try this month and wait and see what we need to do about next month. have you been taking the opk's in the afternoon now? =
Answer: tina, im so sorry. but at least they didnt tell you that he had 0% sperm count. did they give you a number? i know that you guys are going to get meds from the doctor but maybe you should think about getting fertility blend. it helps with that. i may get that next month. hope i dont have to tho. how did your dh take the news? i can imagine thats gotta make him feel bad. when i had my m/c i completely felt like i like my boyfriend down. this whole baby making thing sure does take its toll. i was thinking. i had heard a while back that if your have an orgasm after the guy, then the cervix contracts, basically swallowing, or pushing the sperm up higher. i had found this out a few months ago and the month i got pregnant made sure that i orgasmed afer my bf. so, last month i did. yeah, it was a week of very boring bd'ing. from here on out i am going to tryi it again. we'll see waht happens!! i guess i win either way! =
Answer: and yeah i have been taking the opk's in the after noon =
Answer: Tina, I am sorry that you had to hear that news. I am so happy that you know what you are dealing with and that has to mean that you are one step closer to holding a baby in your arms. I mean, it's amazing what we have as our options these days. I too would be devastated if I found that out, as I know my husband would be. I'll be praying that you receive strength and are able to get the stuff you need fast.
I started temping this morning (missed like 10 days), and it looks like I am on CD. So I think I will be O'ing on CD 20 or so - not till next Thursday!! Yikes :-) I sure hope this is a shorter cycle than last. At least you gals seem to be able to whip through them and try again relatively quickly. I am determined not to take an HPT this time (unless the BB's are really sore). I am swearing off that addiction :-) =
Answer: guys, i really appreciate your words. i had them fax me over your information and i just dont seem too thrilled about it. and your right, now we know what it is and can get it fixed. i just hope we can. i really really do. i guess we will still try this month. stinkab, what is your chart? =
Answer: i dont want to have anymore sex!!! seriously, i need a break. but, i am afraid to not the next few days cause ff has detected ovulation yet. i suspect i o'd yesterday due to my temps, but last month they detected it the day after my dip. i dont know if i can bring myself to doing it tonight. even my bf i can tell is getting worn out. the last few nights havent even been enjoyable. sorry... vent.... =
Answer: Hi Guys. Tina, sorry about the disappointing news. I hope the info they faxed gives you more insight too, when again are you meeting with the docs to discuss options? Callie, girl I so feel you on the BDing thing....it's sad that it's so much work! Unfortunately, I'm not feeling so great about my chances this month. I'm only abuot 7-8dpo, and I feel nothing. I understand it may take longer, but I would think I should a little something!!! So, all that to say, it seems next month will bring on the BD performance again! good grief! =
Answer: redapple, girl dont be crazy and count yourself out already! at 7 or 8 dpo you havent even implanted yet! you dont start to feel symptoms til after that, after the hcg starts to build up!! tina!! where are you today? =
Answer: LOL! Thanks Callie for the encouragement. I really need that, as i know we all do! I jsut don't feel any different. I KNOW it's still early, but I read and read about all these ladies having this sign or that one and I think, man, this m/c screwed me over so hard and it just plain SUCKS! =
Answer: i think that the majority of these girls, including me, want to be pregnant so bad we bring on these fantom symptoms. happens every month. we have about 15 girls are saying they've got this or that symptom, and only 2 will actually get their bfp's. its kinda funny. us women are insane in the membrain. (okay, that was cheesy!) =
Answer: Callie...hello, it's a positive! That's how my friend said she got preggers, and she just had her son about 1 month ago! Tina...I didn't temp this morning (i'm a bum). I guess I figured I was still days off from O anyways (since my last one was on CD 20), but its about CD 15 and I am seeing crazy stringy egg white cm...so I am bd tonight for sure. Sounds like tonight might be the night! Would be nice if I could be on the same schedule as one of you... =
Answer: Oh, and about those pg symptoms. I swear I had it too...and I swear I had the "perfect" pg chart on FF...but...no. I remember when I got pg 4 years ago I just new I was pg, and my boobies hurt at about 11dpo, and took a test that night and got bfp. but even so I still felt like I was crazy thinking I was pg because you can't tell. Even after a month you still feel a little crazy cause you just don't "feel" it. =
Answer: thats it! im done!! my temp has risen 2 days in a row, so im sure ff will detect ovulation for either the 15th or yesterday. thank goodness.if i have to go thru this again next month then i will only bd everyother day. i think i over did it this month. how is everyone? redapples... its getting close to testing time!! i wish i was that far in the 2ww... at least im past the boring stage tho!!! how are you tina and stinkab? =
Answer: Doing good - forgot to take the temp first thing, but like I said lot's of CM so did the bd last night. I think I went wrong the other way. I just haven't been in the mood. So am going to go bd everday for the next couple of days. I wish I knew if I was in the TWW, those temps really make all the difference! =
Answer: Callie, I just noticed we are on the same CD, and Tina is only two days behind that. Where are you RedApple? Looks like we haven't heard from Wantababy in a little bit too. =
Answer: Ladies, thanks for thinking of me and asking about me! It's really nice to have others to go through this together Yes, it is alost testing time, but I can't decide when to start For the past 3 months I've taken so many tests and I just don't want to go through that again, ya know? I'm due for AF on/around Friday, the 23rd, so I don't know how early I will test.. I was so tempted today, but again, didn't want to see another BFN, I just don't really feel it this month, I'm still hoping and not giving up the hope, but I just am getting discouraged! So, all that to say, I guess the earliest I really could test is what Monday, but think I might wait. I didn't use to have the will power to wait, but again, which is worse not testing and not knowing or staring at only one line? =
Answer: hey guys, how is everyone? red, i was just reading your stuff and DONT test! it will just start the habit and make you want to until next friday. i sure wish i only had less than a week left. Callie, im surprised you can even walk after all the BD'ing on your chart! you sure do have determination! Stink, i would keep trying every other day since you are not really sure when you ovulate each time, who know you may ovulate earlier than last month. i am going to a conference in asheville tomorrow so i will not be able to get on till tuesday night, let me know if you guys start another thread, i love talking to you guys. the other was just so out of hand that you started callie. I have my doctors appt on tuesday to go over my HSG test and ask him about DH results too before he goes to urologist. =
Answer: tina, I think you are right, not testing is much better! :) And, you are right about the other thread getitng crazy too, and hard to breathe as Callie said. so I'm glad I found you ladies here and have tagged you! :) Call me stalker! HA! You are just all kinds of right today, Tina! :) I'm really glad you are getting to meet with the Docs too. I hope we can be an encouragement to you. While the battle is not won, I do have to agree, as someone said, the good thing is now you have something to work with and an idea of what's going on. How is DH handling it all? And, I do have to hope the test "cleared the webs" I wish we were fertile all the time...no 2 ww! =
Answer: aww redapple, that was sweet! your not our stalker you are a member of our thread!! i think we should come up with a name so we can keep it going. i dont want a ff part 2.... if anyone has any cute ideas do tell! LOL tina.. youre right.... too much bd'ing! im so over it!!! but.. ff still hasnt detect o and ive had 2 temps rises... what gives? today is really weird... ive just been having watery cm and my cp is very high, couldnt barely touch it. but, today, i have ewcm but my cp is definatly lower! i thought it was high durring o!! who knows.. i will probably bd one last time tonight. yes, i am very determined. plus, if i dont get prego this cycle i am waiting a few months to try again. tina, that is cool that they are getting you in so soon to discuss options. there are all kinds of success stories on 2ww . c o m that i love to read. everything from low sperm count to PCOS. definatly gives me hope each and every month. hey stinkab... whats your chart? im sure you said it a few times, but i need it again. =
Answer: Hi friends. Okay, so I REALLY need your encouragement right now. I spotted today. Sure, i'd like to hope it would be implantation, but honestly, I think what are the chances. I read that only 20-30% of pregnancies get that...and yes, that could be a lot, but well, to be Negative Nancy here, I just don't think that is the case for me! So, it would be early to start spotting, as I think I"m only 9 dpo, but that would mean I 5 days from AF and 5 days really isn't too early for me to spot, I think I spotted for 5 edays in March, and then in April it was for 3, so....it would make sense. I'm sad for sure. I just can't help but think the m/c really screwed me! I'm sure it didn't, plenty of women have m/c and D&Cs and get pg, but it just makes me wonder...why are we having so much trouble!!?!? DH was trying to be so supportive and said we will try again, but honestly, I'm so tired of the forced BD, the OPK testing, and the 2ww. I have a wonderful DD, I'm starting to think I should just be thankful for her and maybe only have 1. We could do a lot more for 1 child than 2, I just hate it! I'm sorry to be so depressing, it just SUCKS! and I needed to vent. As for the nae of the new thread....I don't know yet, I will keep thinking, but right now I"m taking a nap! :( See you all ina bit! =
Answer: Aww Red, hang in there! I'm sorry about the spotting =(. Its ok though. I am having major pms symtoms: swollen/painful breasts, bloating/cramping, and kinda moody. So I am discouraged too and feel like this isn't my month! =
Answer: Red Apple - hang in there...I would feel the same way about implantation "this won't happen to me", but you honestly never know. One thing I have heard about is couples who decide to take a break from trying becuase they are so burned out, and they just want to make love without the pressure of bd all the time..and it happens! I'll be praying for you Red...I don't know what path God has in store for you, but He does...how are things going this morning? Geez, did you see Tina is already 5dpo? That would be nice...I can't even tell if I O'd yet...my chart is a little crazy, but I haven't been temping right when I get up - I get my dh breakfast ready and drink coffee so I am sure they are way off... =
