[miss kris]

Morning ladies!!
Just a quick one with a question maybe one of you could answer??
I rang the docs today to get my test results and apparently my progesterone level is 45...is this good? I know it means i ovulated!
But i just realised i don't know much about progesterone levels! lol
I couldn't help myself and POAS this morning and i once again berated myself and knew it was too early and was going to be neg and went back to bed! lol
Im so naughty! But yes, as i said to my MIL (who rang me at 10:01am cos she knew i was getting my results at 10am lol she is just as excited as me), even if i don't get preg this round, i am SO grateful that the clomid worked and i won't need to up the dosage or anything!
But yes it would be AWESOME if i could join you Ahurani, Hope & Rhi in BFP this month!! It would be amazing if we ALL did!! lol!

Hi girls. Just thought I would pop in and see how everyone was going. Was on this thread a while back and had 6 cycles of clomid - dye through tubes and then finally fell - all up trying almost 2 years. Anyway, thought I would let you know I had a girl at the end of March, Matilda.

Fingers crossed for you all still. This thread was the most supportive when it was needed.

Morning Ladies

OMG RhiChiChi! Massive congratulations. I wish you a huge happy and healthy pregnancy and I sincerely hope it is uneventful and you suffer terrible morning sickness IYKWIM? I'm sure this will be the sticky one you've so desperately waited for. You so deserve this!

It's you and me now Bec! We HAVE to GET OFF this merrigo round. It has to be our turn next yeah???

Tammara thanks for the tip. LOL DH thinks it's no big deal haha.

Pumpgirl -Yes this is my first IVF. I'm excited but also dissapointed we couldn't do it naturally but very very greatful to have the option to do IVF.

Thanks hun, IKWYM about wanting to be ill & everything! I wish you all the very best with your upcoming IVF cycle.

Rhi wow a big congratulations to you both n having an uneventful pg and you have a little bundle of joy in you arms in 8 months time. It is grreat to see that there is a light at the end of the tunnel of the TTC journey.

Sorry for a short one but doing this before work so I can get all the tears out of my system. I was sooo positive this month that I would be posting a BFP, but it wasn't to be . Off to the FS tomorrow for our 6 wk appointment and to discuss the FSH injections I will be having this cycle.

Sorry for the short one, babydust to everyone and again congrats Rhi.

Liz - Thanks hun. Sorry to hear this cycle was not to be - I actually thought you might announce next Best of luck with your appt.

Kris - I had similar readings whilst on Clomid but didn't fall pg - just my experience. I think the lap helped & being on Clomid for those 6 mths. GL

Hi there, I don't think I 'met' you but Congratulations on the birth of your little girl. Always nice ot hear positive stories

[ShanShan]

Hi everyone

Thought I better drop in and see what everyone has been up to and there is lots on here.

Rhi - Big Congrats on your wonderful news. Cheered me up reading about your wonderful news, Look forward to hearing updates from you for the next 8 months. The BFP's posted in here helps to remind me that it can happen.

Liz - Sorry to hear about your result this cycle. Good luck with your injections and FX'd that you will be posting a BFP really soon.

Miss Kris - I love that you are asking all these questions cause I want to know the answers too. We seem to be in similar situations but you are a couple of weeks ahead of me so I am learning a lot through your experiences and requests for info. Good to see that you O'd (Yay!!!) and hopefully you will get that BFP very soon.

Bec - Thanks for doing the list, hopefully it can be turned into a due date list for us all very soon (FX'd). How is the TWW going?

Keli - I love that you pop back in here as you always try and answer our questions and try and keep us all positive. How is the MS going? How far along are you now?

Porsche - I hope you and Bec are both belly buddies with Rhi soon too (and everyone else). FX'd that the IVF works this cycle.

Pumpgirl - The new business sounds interesting, hope it all goes to plan this time (something has to go to plan for us). How did the blood test go?

BumBumG - Welcome and hopefully this will be a quick journey for you.

Hope - How is everything going? Haven't heard from you for a while.

Hi to anyone I may have missed.

AFM: Well this week feels like it is dragging out, maybe because I am tired. Currently on CD19 and am looking for any little sign that I might be O'ing. Have been charting (Dr's request) but temps are still up and down and all over the place. Started doing Maybe test in mornings and for 2 mornings had partial ferning but then this morning nothing so don't know what is going on. Also doing afternoon OPK (overboard I know but I am determined not to miss anything) and the 2 days that had partial ferning I also had a feint line that has never been there before so was hoping that it might continue to darken over the next few days. Dr requested a BT at CD21 to see if I O'd but I think this may be too early. I thought it was meant to be 7 DPO, any help? Better get back to work, will come back soon.
Oh and hubby still hasn't witnessed a mood swing, no golf clubs swinging at him on Sunday so all is still good, lol.

for everyone.

Shan

[Porsche]

ShanShan can you post the link to your chart so i can have a little look? I might be able to help.

[Keli]

Porshe is very good at reading charts ShanShan, he he ! I highly reccomend her!

[becnxavi]

Hi ladies!
31bec- Congratulations on the birth of baby Matilda! Love the name, it's one of my favourites. I know I love to hear from ladies who've walked this path and succeeded so it's great to hear from you!

Porsche- I found that one side hurt more than the other with the injections too. I only had one big bruise and I know as soon as I put it in it wasn't quite right. I was more careful after that! It wasn't as bad as I thought though. GL!

Bumbumg- Great the have you in the thread. These ladies are the most lovely bunch of couragous women you'd 'meet' anywhere and the thread is incredible supportive to all who are here. Having said that, we do of course hope you graduate to a belly buddies forum ASAP! What day are you currently on? I can add you to the list if you like.

Kris- I can't help with the progestrone thing becasue I never actually got my tests back. They just said yes you have or no you haven't o'd. I'm guessing there is a fair range that's normal, but I can't be much help sorry! Yah for o'ing though!!!

Liz- So sorry you're feeling down. I know that heartbreak hon. You get such a good feeling and then BAM! AF arrives. hugs hon. When do you go the FS?

Shan- Hopefully Porsche is able to help with your charts. I can't help on that side, mine were all over the place when I charted, so I stopped doing it (naughty me!) Hopefully the BT will at least give you an indication. I had a BT on the day I ovulated once and it still showed that I ovulated.

Pumpgirl- How are you travelling? You must almost be heading to testing time?

Jules- Has it sunk in yet? I keep telling people you are pg, like they should know and be excited too! Have you been to the docs yet?

Tam- How are you? Love seeing your name pop up, so glad that all is still ok, and looking forward to seeing your birth announcement in the coming months!
Mez, Keli- that goes for you too as well.

Hope & Ahurani- Where are you guys up to? You both must be in the same BB thread, it's nice knowing someone in there! Hope you're both doing well.

AFM- I'm pretty sure I'm out for this month. I had some AF like pains today, still nauseous, but no sore BB's, which is a usual for me if I'm UTD. I will test in the morning, and once more SUnday if AF doesn't arrive (II just can't help it) but it doesn't feel like it's my month. I guess we should hold some BFP's over for next month hey?!! Just to be fair. I am so exxcited that we've had 3 in one month, and I can't wait for even more!
, & to all!
Bec

[Porsche]

Porshe is very good at reading charts ShanShan, he he ! I highly reccomend her!

Oww shucks lol.

I haven't started injections as yet. That starts Sunday bright and early.

Miss Kris - I had levels of 69. It just means that you ovulated i think anyhing above 25 is considered ovulation.

[redgum]

Hi All,

Shan - good luck for your BT tomorrow, I hope you get a great result, seems like you are getting positive signs with the OPK this month too! I hope that the rest of the month goes fast for you... My first cycle dragged out so much, I think there was so much build up and anticipation, am happy to report this month is going really fast! Sorry I don't know anything on charting...

Prosche - best of luck this month, I hope the injections aren't too bad... Baby dust to you!

Bec - I have decided not to test until day 31, DH says I wasted too much money on HPT last month and to be honest I can't bare the disappointment of seeing the BFN tests, it's almost easier just to get AF (that's just me). Sill think this month isn't going to happen as I am not feeling anything - I would expect to get AF maybe Monday - but really who knows since I have never had a regular cycle and I have no idea when I o'd.

31Bec - I didn't meet you either, but a big congrats, always nice to hear good news :-)

Jules - hope your going well hun! And I totally understand your desire to keep it quiet - I think I will be doing that too (current forum excluded of course).

AFM - I got my 21day prog BT results this morning and asked for previous results to compare - Pre-clomid: 40.9, 1st cycle - 57.9 2nd cycle (current) 62.1 - so I definitely ovulated and what's interesting is my levels are higher this month than last but I didn't have any symptoms during or after which is weird??? I still think this month isn't the month so will wait till Tuesday before I test. Hope everyone else is doing well & hoping the BFP roll continues :-)

[miss kris]

Hey Girls
Just a quick note to say that my temp is still above coverline, no signs of AF and preg test this morning was a BFN!
I can't help but think its going to be neg until at least the w.e?? I don't know!! I mean i am 12DPO today!!
*sigh* the frustration is building now! I mean i could come to terms with it if my temp was dropping and i was crampy, but of course its not happenning!!
Oh well! I can't test until saturday or sunday anyway lol i used my last preg test this morning and won't make it to the shops until then to get more!!
Sorry for no persies!! Will come back to it later!

[RhiChiChi]

Hey all,

Shan - thanks for the congratulations. Don't know why you haven't experience any side effects - I'd like to say luck b/c the side effects were hideous.

Bec - LOL telling people I am pg! My appt with the OBS is not until 25th August when I wil be 10 weeks but I have to get a referral from the Dr, so I might request HCG bloods to ensure my levels are increasing. For the moment I am being a little cautious b/c I have some lower abdo cramping but I had that with DD so I am trying to stay positive. I have also joined the BB due date club, which I never have done in the past with any of my pg. Am also hoping that will help me stay positive.
I hope you are wrong about AF on the horizon, I hope that more of you can join in the March due date club

Pumpgirl - They are awesome figures. FX for some great news next week

Kris - I didn't get my BFP with DD until a week after AF was due, so being DPO could be still a wee bit early. GL

[miss kris]

Thanks Rhi! That makes me feel better! At the moment I have this pain in my lower back on the right side, i would have said ovulation pain, but of course i haven't ovulated today lol ... its really bad actually and i noticed it last night! Which then of course lead to me having dreams about having an etopic preg and when the doctors did surgery they had to do a full hyst and i couldn't have kids!!! stupid dreams!! I woke up in tears!! I just think its a really weird pain!

On a plus side i am feeling refluxy and my bbs are HUGE! my hubby looked at me today and asked if i was planning to seriously injure anyone today cos my button looks poised to fly! lol

[ShanShan]

Porsche I would love it if you could have a look at my chart ( My Ovulation Chart ). I hope this is how I give you access to it (very new to all this).


Will do a longer post tomorrow, better get back to work.

Shan

[miss kris]

Hi ShanShan, hope you don't mind, i just added you as a friend of FF...i had a peek at your chart (hope you don't mind) and i will point out that you seem to have a monster drop in temps and then ovulate a couple of days later on all your previous charts, (bar one of them) and your latest temp seems like a huge drop so maybe you will ovulate soon?? I am not too sure though so please don't quote me on it! Im still a bit new to the charting thing!!! Do you have weird/different waking times? I just can't believe how up and down your chart is!!

Hope someone can help you soon!!

[ShanShan]

Miss Kris I don't mind you looking at my chart, I need all the help I can get, lol.

I am a terrible sleeper (Fibromyalgia) but I usually sleep best between 4:30 and 7am so I have been taking my temp at 7am just before DH and I get up. I have no idea what is going on with my temps as they are all over the place lately and the Dr doesn't seem to think that I ovulated previously so I don't know what all the previous charts drop was because. All very confusing and a bit disheartening as I thought the same thing you did with my previous charts.
No ferns again this morning so I am a bit down today as there are no signs (other than the temp drop) of O'ing.
Sounds like you are getting a few signs though so FX'd you are announcing a BFP very very soon.

[miss kris]

actually my chart did that, went on like it was ovulating, but i never did...its now in my sig if you wanna look.
it is so weird!! I hate all this "intervention" and the way i scrutinise every little sign, im an over thinker already, i don't need other tools to encourage it! lol!
I have decided im not going to test until next week ... pffft lol see how long that one lasts!! My weekend will consist of obsessing over preg tests!! Lol!!

[ShanShan]

Miss Kris your charts do look similar to mine so maybe there is hope for me yet! Hopefully you will get your BFP soon and I won't be far behind, lol. Good luck with the not testing, you will have to try and find something to keep you occupied in the mornings. I'm sure DH could probably come up with something
