TWW... Anyone care to wait w/me?!?!

Hi ladies!!  It's been awhile.  I just entered my TWW (3 DPO).  Does anyone care to join me?!!  I am already beginning to drive myself crazy.  This is our 2nd cycle ttc since my EP in June so hopefully it will happen soon.  I lost my left tube so I hope that doesn't hurt our chances...

[waitingwithhope]

Hey Torra! I will wait this out with you. Last month, I was only a few days past ovulation when I ended up with my period. AUGH. Anyhow, I am 7DPO now...
I will wait it out with you and hope that you have some great news!! :) My 19th friend just got pregnant--crazy!

[Torra325]

Hey you!!  I haven't talked to you in a LONG time.  Well.. as you can see I'm still trying.  I had another setback in June.  Second EP so far... so hopfully luck will be on our side this time!!  7DPO!!!! YIPPEEE!!!  That's great!!  There's no one better than you that I would want to wait this out with! :)  Keep me updated please!

[Alysen]

oooo...Ill wait with you. I am TTC for basically the first time since a May blighted ovum. I am also 3DPO. I must warn you though I am a POAS-aholic. I only usually make it to 8DPO before I start peeing on anything that even looks like a pregnancy test HAHAHA

[Whitewavegirl]

Well, the chance of me being pregnant any time soon is slim, so you will always have a tww buddy if you need one :) My DH goes to the specialist in a month, so hopefully we will have more answers then!

[waitingwithhope]

Huh? It posted my comment as someone else. Anyhow....the same thing I said applies.

[Torra325]

Sorry to hear about your loss!  I am also a POAS-aholic. :)  I usually start getting excited at 10 DPO!!  Keep me posted on how you're progressing!  Do you chart on FF?  For anyone interested if you chart, my home page is www.fertilityfriend.com/home/torra325.

[Torra325]

Thanks!!!  Good luck and keep us posted on how things are going!!

[jay11]

Hi, you can put me on the tww list! Doesnt it drive you crazy! Im 8dpo and had some pain this morning also very tender in the uterus and ovary area. DH is a bit worried coz everytime i sneeze i feel like my ovaries have burst so im going to my GP tonight to get it checked out incase theres something else going on. Did a hpt this morning but that was neg. Early days yet i know. (i just couldnt restrain myself any longer! lol)
Good luck to everyone.

[Torra325]

Everything is posted right on this end so I'm not sure what you're seeing! :)  Are you charting on FF?

[Crritter]

My side by my ovary hurt really bad right after ovulation once and I was pregnant.  It got better as time passed, but there were a few days early on where I was getting concerned.  I hope that's what's going on with you jay11, and that it's not something else.  Good luck at your appt.   I'm kinda in the TWW.  My littlest one is 4 & 1/2 months another pill baby.  I have 2 now.  I finally gave in and BD'd with my DH on the 12th and I knew I was ovulating, but it's been soooo long and we finally had both boys sleeping and it was the only chance we have had.  I really didn't think too much of it, but I have gotten really bad heartburn again and am so worn out and nauseous.  I either have a tummy bug, or am pregnant again.  The only time I have had heartburn or food aversions have been when I'm pregnant, but who knows, my hormones are still out of whack.  I have to wait till this weekend.  Good luck girls!  I'm honestly hoping to wait a little longer since the little guy is so little, but we knew that it was a chance since b/c pills have not been our best bet.

[Alysen]

YAY another POAS-aholic... whew I was starting to think I was the only one....I have a few imaginary symptoms. I mean it is 4 dpo HAHAHAH. My bb's are sore and I am super irritable. Ok so maybe that is just my natural disposition these days HAHAHA.

[Torra325]

Keep updating this post!!!  Let's see I'm 4 DPO today so I have, what.... 13-14 days to go!!   I will POAS for sure before that just because I can't help myself!!!!!!!  :)  Take Care Ladies and I'll talk to you soon....

[empty]

7dpo here and no signs really. Only a damp feeling but nothing else. Good luck everyone

[Weaversgirl]

Put me on the list. I am 2DPO and am driving myself and my hubby nuts! I have a chart on fertility friend, and my husband says im addicted. Best of luck to all of us and may we all see BFPs!!! (by the way I bought my HPT last week before I even ovulated, and already asked my husband if he would be mad at me if I used them...)

[jay11]

Update: Went to my doctor and he thinks the tenderness and pain im having is due to ovulation - you were right crritter. (a good sign i suppose). He said that blood can be released as well as an egg which hangs around your reproductive organs for a while causing slight inflamation (inflammation). (hence the tender feeling). Something we should all bear in mind if we'r having pains. He was however adamant that its nothing to do with pregnancy and that its not a sign as its far too early!  (dont you just love it when doctors p*** on your fire!).
He want me to do a progesterone test today to check if iv ovulated but i wont get the results back for a week! (a week! does he not know im officially the most impatient person on the planet!).
9dpo now and no signs. I read about an experiment that was carried out and it found that the majority of 25miu tests didnt show positive until the woman was 13dpo. Im going to make that my next reference point i think, maybe! Im having more tests delivered today!  :)
Let us know if anyone is having anymore symptoms so i can run to the bathroom and check if its happening to me to! Lol.
Good luck everyone.

[empty]

hahahah i had to laugh. i swear i havent wiped so much ever, or poked my boobs so much.

[jay11]

I know what you mean, if there was a way of going in and having a look myself id do it! Ive even looked at ultrasound machines on ebay! (god im rediculous).

[Crritter]

I knew the pain was probably a good thing.  Maybe this will be your month, keep trying!

[Torra325]

You girls are hilarious!!!  Thanks for the smile and keep up the good work!  Oh...for anyone who's charting and wants to give me their opinion on my chart... feel free...  5 DPO is too early for an implantation dip, isn't it??!!  Never hurts to get your hopes up! HA!

www.fertilityfriend.com/home/torra325

[Torra325]

Do you have a homepage addy that you'd like to share?  I'd love to take a look! :)

[jifnif]

I am in my tww as well but I have not had a period since I only m/c on July 31st.  I did not really track if I ovulated except for observing cm.  I expect my period to return by next weekend if I am back on track.  I don't have any symptoms so I doubt that I am pregnant but wanted to mention that I am waiting as well :(.  I wish keeping a pregnancy was as easy as getting pregnant....I would have a lot of kiddies by now!!  :)

[Torra325]

Ohhh... I'm sorry!!  It's no fun that's for sure. I've been there right with you except mine were both ectopic and I ended up losing my left tube!  GGrrrrrr....  back to the drawing board I guess!  Hang in there and keep us posted.

~T

[Weaversgirl]

I have to admit that this is all making me feel sooo much better about myself. I thought I was the only one who constantly thought when my body did something different actually sat up and thought  " could it be implantation, pregnancy, etc.?" Last night I researched about how early I could actually test. Even thought about making a DRs appt today to see if she could look in there and maybe tell me anything.  
RE Torra325- I dont chart my BBT. I read on a web page that if you work different shifts, and have an irregualr sleep pattern that charting your BBT wouldnt work for you so all my chart is when we BD, my cervix position, and  my cervical fluid.

[Torra325]

Well... I opened a new thread to ask that question... is 5 DPO too early to see an implantation dip? and I actually got a "yes, it's possible"!  Happened to this person at 4 DPO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I'm keeping my fingers crossed...

[Weaversgirl]

I hope you get a BFP!!!

[Alysen]

I had a pinching sensation today and immediatly thought, "maybe thats implantation" HAHAHAHAHA

Im crazy What can I say!

[jay11]

Update: Ok, so ive had the progesterone blood test done - mmm, dont you just love needles! and isnt it fun when they cant get anything from one arm so they have to try another! (i wont be volounteering for that again in a hurry!).
Only ONE WEEK to wait for the results! (im raising one eybrow and shaking my head here).
4 days till AF and my slightly tender breast are no longer tender - whats that all about? Usually they get worse leading right up to AF. The cramps have gone (although im still tender in that area) and ALL the hpt's have been negative! I guess it wasnt meant to be (AGAIN) this month.
Anyone else having signs yet? (imaginary or real). Any cramps, twinges, headaches, flushes, cravings, spotting, dark veins, nausea, or creamy cm yet?!!! (Lol).

[jay11]

Come on, someone thinks they'v had a faint line and isnt telling!!!!

[EM98]

Im 6dpo & was trying to stay calm this cycle but the 2ww is a nightmare, I do have high hopes this time as we dtd loads & at the right times. My hubby said that my breast for the last two days have started to become a lot firmer & harder so fingers crossed, i have one clear blue digital test in my draw and am trying to hold out untill a reasonable date, but the 2ww is now driving me insane, my cycles are 26days and im now on CD19. Please someone tell me its to early to test & to stay away from the clear blue. Lots of baby dust to all xxx

[jay11]

Try the ultra early 10miu pregnancy tests that you can buy on ebay. the sellers are called fertilityplan. They post very quick and are very cheap. You can test as early as 6dpo with the 10miu tests.
Good luck.

[Torra325]

Other than a little nausea yesterday and today and creamy CM...nothing to report!  I am probably just being too hopeful... HA!  I would buy the tests you posted about but by the time i get them I can use a store brand one!  Dang.  Maybe next month... oh wait... MAYBE I won't need them next month!!

[Torra325]

DO NOT POAS!!!!  Ah... yet another POAS-aholic... join the club!  I am actually going to wait to test til the anticipated test date set by FF, that way in case that wasn't an implantation dip that I experienced yesterday (5 DPO) I won't get my hopes up.

[Torra325]

Any new news to report?  You're 10 DPO today so you're getting closer!!!!   I'm excited to find out all the results from this thread!! :)  Talk to you soon....

[jay11]

Fingers crossed all you'l need next month is your vitamins!!!

[daprincess21]

i am in my tww also..however i decided i am going to start taking gerital complete itf it dotn happen this month...i have heard alot of sucess stories from it...anyone else heard anything?

[jay11]

Ive not heard of it. What is it, what does it do and where can i get it?!

[momof32b]

I'm in this wait too!  I'm 10 dpo, tested today...negative.  Boy I wish I had all the money I've spent on tests back...I could just about buy a nice used car!!  LOL  I'm going to try and wait until Monday to test again, but as a POAS addict, I'll probably try again tomorrow.  Somebody stop me!  haha

[Torra325]

HA!  I ALWAYS cave and start testing at 10 DPO... you think I'd learn.  WOW... just think with the both of us.. if we pooled our money, we could probably go for a NICE NEW SUV!!!!!

[empty]

hi girls
still no sore boobs.Only thing is i have had stomach aches like i have eaten something bad. No sharp twinges / stretching pain. I am still having the damp CM feeling. CD 26 at the moment and i have a 31 day cycle. A/F due Friday. In an hour, i am off to see friends who have both had babies (one with twins) so i will be a wreck upon my return. More poking to follow :)

[daprincess21]

its a muti vitamin. you can find it in any drug store or like walmart in the pharmacy. there were some threads on here about it a long time ago and ive also read some on baby center. i will try and find them and post them for ya. but yeah i think im gunna start taking it after my next af. that is if i have to. :)

[jay11]

Great, thankyou. Ive also been concidering chinese herbs. They have a good write up regarding fertility but i cant seem to find anyone thats tried it.
I might just give it ago though.

[Weaversgirl]

Im dying to pee on something even though I know that im way to early to tell. If you added my past monies spent, we could buy a Lexus SUV fully loaded lol. Heck ive already got a box of FRER 2-pack in my medicine cabinet.

[Weaversgirl]

( TMI )
I specifically remember that while preggers with my 3rd kiddo, that my breasts and chest looked like a friggin road map due to very dark blue veins. In responce to EM98 post about her breasts, I decided to check mine out in the mirror. Guess what I saw...Yup you guessed it a road map. Is anyone else experiencing this? If not what could it be? Sorry for being so graphic.

[Alysen]

Ugh, today is CD 7 for me...I start testing tomorrow. EEEEKKKK!!! My LP is usually 12 days for a 29-30 day cycle and Im on Cd24 so Im due for AF on wed-thur so Im hoping to get a BFP before then. I have been really tired recently with no change in my daily activities. So I am really hoping that its a sign, I have also got afternoon headaches when I was preggers and we are going on 3 days of that so again...hoping for imaginary syptoms (symptoms).

[empty]

CD 27 and still no symptoms! only the creamy CM. Dying to test but I havent any symptoms....argh!!!

[Torra325]

No symptoms here except for maybe slightly sore BB's... CD 7 so I'm probably just imagining things!! :)  Weaversgirl... I'm trying to hold out for at LEAST 3 more days!!!  If I can make it to 12 DPO that will be the tell all... I usually get AF at 13 DPO or so...

[Weaversgirl]

Best of luck to you Torra325. But if you dont make the 3 days, dont worry nobody will be upset with you ha ha ha lol!
Had a great evening tonight. Went to go watch my daddy race, and it took my mind off waiting for a good 9 hours! Also felt good to sepnd time with family and friends. Only bad part was that I couldnt have a beer :( But would rather be safe than sorry. Hope yall all had a great evening!

[empty]

Hello fellow twwers

Just an update. I am now CD 28. I did a hpt yesterday and it was neg. this morning though I started spotting brown (only when I wipe). i still feel weird though like I have flutters in my stomach (like light stomach pains). When I get A/F I cramp a lot and usually land up taking panadeine. My boobs feel full and sore this morning. If it is A/F (which is only due on the 31/08) I wish it would just start to end my tww….sigh.

[Weaversgirl]

Maybe now waiting wont be so hard for me. School started back today so now I can voulnteer at the school to pass some of the time! Hope all you ladies had a wonderful weekend!

[momof32b]

Well I'm out.  I started today...I'm a little down but overall okay.  Guess I'll have to try harder this month!  Good luck and baby dust to all!

[Torra325]

Well... the POAS-aholic caved and tested this morning with FMU and BFN.... I'm 9 DPO, so what did I expect?!?!?  Well,... hopefully it's not a sign of what's to come sometime around Saturday!!

[Alysen]

I tested also....BFN with FMU. I am still holding out hope though.  I mean we are only 9dpo so that is still extremly early. I swear my bb's a bigger today though. Oh and another good sign, I have m/c twice and really the only symptom I had then (they were both unexpected so I wasnt looking for symptoms over the tww) was my face didnt break out. My face always breaks out b4 AF and all is clear over here so I really hoping that means positive things.

[Torra325]

Well... the clear skin thing is a no go for me right now, but I have a BAD habit of rubbing my face and not realizing it so that encourages breakouts!  I normally have VERY clear skin.  My breakout is minor so I'm going to try and keep thinking positive!!!  Good luck to you... I hope you're getting BFP signs!!

[MrsPatrick]

I am 10 dpo and have already taken 2 tests! BFN yesterday and today. Keep trying to convince myself that it is just too early and the BFP is on the way. I swear I want to go take another test right now to see if anything has changed!!! When I first started ttc, I thought all of the POAS addiction talk was nonsense. Now I am convinced that I am indeed a junkie...

[jifnif]

I have given up on testing...I am almost scared to know.  My af is expected on Friday and I am so scared not to get my period.  I mean, I really want to be pregnant but I have no symptoms and the last time I had no symptoms and was pregnant, I miscarried.  I am 12 DPO.  I think I have cramps.  Ugh.  

[Weaversgirl]

I started cramping off and on since last night. more off than on but still cramping. Hopefully its little baby Weaver burrowing in my uterus.  Called DRs office today, and since I have a history of miscarriage he said he would order a blood test for me. So am going to go in on Friday.

[pertykitty]

torra its nice to see you back in the waiting game!  my sis has one ovary and she had her son no problems.  i cant wait to see your post about a bfp :)

[Weaversgirl]

My dh is a dodo bird! He said that he will be much happier and he knows that I will be much happier if I wait like the rest of society to find out if were preggers or not. Doesnt he more than anyone else know that I wanted to know like yesterday!?!?! So no blood test for me on Friday....but honestly tell me, would I be THAT wrong to go ahead and do it?

[Alysen]

OMG, I feel like **** tonight.....UGH, Last night I felt a little icky, but I thought it was bc I ate a big piece of choc brownie, welll tonight, no sweets and I feel like I am going to puke. So I thought hey, I have been naping for the last 4 hours (no liquids) if preggers is making me sick (of course I am assuming its bc Im preggers hahaha) then it will show up on a HPT by now.....Oh well i was wrong BFN again tonight (I mean come on how silly can I be testing twice in one day) HAHAH....Im really hoping this is a symptom, although I am trying not to get my hopes up bc I have been disappointed before.

[Alysen]

HAHAHA they bleeped out C   r   a   p

[empty]

girls i am out. sigh.

[Alysen]

Still nothing over here, I tested again this morning FMU to a BFN....AHHHHH, I just want to know already!

[Torra325]

Awww...thanks!  I actually lost a tube rather than an ovary, but no biggie! :)  I worry that somethings going to happen and I'm going to lose the other one...then I'm SOL!!  I'm focusing on staying positive though I have to admit that the last EP was pretty rough (surgery and all).  Thanks for thinking of me though!!  

Today I'm 10 DPO and still holding.  Tested at 9 DPO... BFN of course!  Maybe next time I should try POAS at 4 DPO or something!!  Jeez....  Anyway, sore BB's and that's about it girls...I tend to get that way around 9 DPO and then AF shows her ugly face....so who know!  I'm waiting until Sat. to test next if I make it that far!

Perty...keep your eye on me.  I might need your support! :)  XOXO

~T

[Weaversgirl]

I couldnt wait any longer.  Im between 5-7 DPO, and I POAS this morning. Of course BFN. But today I did have some EWCM. I do know that I have already ovulated, but why the EWCM?
Torra325 im also holding out till Saturday. Plus only 1 equate till I have to break into the FRER.

[Torra325]

empty... I'm sorry to hear the bad news!  Keep trying and don't give up!!

Weaversgirl...I have one F.R. (I'm assuming we're talking about the same brand..not sure what FRER stands for), but I have ONE left and I'm saving it til then!! :)

[Torra325]

Hey you!!  What happened to you?  I haven't seen any updates from you lately...everything ok???

[Weaversgirl]

FRER= First response early responce. Ive just always put FRER cause thats how I mostly see it.

[Torra325]

I was assuming that was it!!  Just making sure! :)

[pertykitty]

uh ....i have poas at 4dpo lol.  i wonder if anyone did like right after they bd'd haha.  now THAT would be silly ;)

[jifnif]

i posted a separate post about my bleed during tww but i thought i would put it here too and see if you girls have had this:  i expect my af on the 31st, this friday.  i m/c on the 31st of july.  during bd ing last night i had a lot of blood but nothing today??/  isnt that weird or can i expect period to come on later?

[mandimatt]

I'll join everyone! This tww bit sucks! It really is the longest two weeks every! I'm 9dpo now and dying to POAS! Of course I know this is way too early..... Last week and even through the weekend I swear I was feeling something, but now I don't know....just soooooooooo tired!

Baby dust for all!

Mandi

[Torra325]

I'm wondering if it wasn't just remnants left over from your  m/c.  Was it bright red blood?  If so, I hate to say it, but it could be AF...although you would still be bleeding today if that were the case.  Sorry if TMI, but sometimes unless I wear a tampon I can't tell right away.  Have you tried wearing one to see if there's anything that turns up on it.  It can't hurt to try it....  just an idea.

[jifnif]

ughhhh, i am afriad to use a tampon...:(

[Torra325]

TEST, TEST, TEST then...!!!!!!!!! I just read your other thread and I don't think that bleeding sounds like AF.  Do you have any cysts, etc. that you know of?  TEST, TEST, TEST!!!!!  At least you'll know if it's that or not.....  GOOD LUCK and I expect to see an update after you POAS tonight!!!!!! :P

[jifnif]

i guess i could buy a test on the sneak..if my husband knew he would kill me...ughhh..i dont know about a cyst...i think i had one last time i was prego...i would think i would have other symptoms though...ummm, what is poas??

[Torra325]

Pee on a stick!!!! LMAO!! :)  Hey, I've bought tests before and went straight to the store's bathroom and done it there.  No evidence to worry about!! HA!  About the cyst... if it ruptured then that might explain the bleeding... you don't have to be PG to have a cyst rupture.

[mandimatt]

anyone know what level hcg the walgreens brand FRER detects? Thanks!

Mandi

[Weaversgirl]

mandimatt- try this website. peeonastick.com. I love it! It has everything to do with pregnancy tests that you will probably ever need to know (and some stuff thats just down right hilarious!)

Good morning ladies. I was just wondering how everyone was doing. Even though I know its not completely reliable, I have tested using OPKs. Done 3 already (1 yesterday morning, 1 yesterday evening, and the 3rd one this morning) The line is getting darker each time. Also used Accuclear this morning with FMU (I swear it had a very very very faint line when I checked it at the 10 min mark, I mean you really had to glare at it to see it but hey I could just be imagining things too) so hopefully in the next few days I will see a BFP! Im ready for our 4th and final baby! Well hopefully everyone has a GREAT day!

[Weaversgirl]

[mandimatt]

Weaversgirl-  Thank you! I'll go check it out :)

[Weaversgirl]

BTW let me know your opinions on my testing! All opinions are welcome, positive or not.

[filbert143]

I wouldn't bank on the OPK's but the accuclear sounds promising.  I would take a digital test this afternoon and find out :)  I used the CVS brand and they detect very low levels.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

[Weaversgirl]

[Weaversgirl]

(huh 2nd time it posted without any text....)

Im down to 2 FRERs, and dont want to go buy another test yet. Well actually dont want to hear DH groan when I tell him where im going. Do you honestly think I should just go ahead and use 1 of the FRERs? I just dont want to "waste" it if I was imagining the faint positive. One more question....should I hold my bladder for 4 hours, or just go ahead and do it the next time I need to go?

[jifnif]

Just wanted to say I am still here, I had some pink cm this am but now still nothing.  i am crampy.  i am pretty sure i am going to get af, just wish it would figure it out....ugh

[Torra325]

jifnif... i'm sorry to hear that.... but it's not over til it's over, right?!! :)

Weaversgirl... I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

I'm now at 12 DPO and very confused.... I chart on FF and my temps are so strange... anyone care to stalk me??  www.fertilityfriend.com/home/torra325.  Let me know what you think!??!?  No symptoms besides slightly sore bb's, but nothing like what they were a few days ago...

[filbert143]

Torra - do you take your temp the exact same time every day?  Is your room around the same temp every night?  I know my temp would drop if we slept with the windows open on a cold night, etc...or even if I slept really soundly.  Do you normally get AF on 13 DPO?

Weaversgirl - I would take another test, but I was a poas-aholic!!  My first + was a very, very faint line - to the point that I thought I was just seeing it.  So on my way home from work that day I stopped at the store and get a new one.  I couldn't even wait to get home - I took the darn test right there in the restroom at the store!!  How pathetic is that - I was only about 5 minutes from home!!  And I don't think you necessarily need to hold it...I would just cut back on fluids for awhile so that it's more concentrated.

Good luck to both!!

[jifnif]

torra, i cant get on ff here at work the hospital has it blocked.???  i am getting more pink though....its a bust....about the bb's...i dunno...i never even had sore bb's w/ my pregnancy...it turned out to be a boy and i took it as a sign...:)

[Weaversgirl]

Torra- read your chart. I dont chart my BBT so really had no idea when looking at yours...im sorry :(
I wish I could have been more help....


Took 1 of my FRERs. BFP :(
So no more pregnancy test till after Saturday!!! So to cure my obsession with POAS, I will just keep peeing on my OPKs every morning :)

[Torra325]

That's what has me completely confused!!  I haven't changed ONE thing... not ONE.  I temp at the same time everyday except for this morning... it was 10 minutes earlier than normal.  That usually doesn't affect my temp that much, but who knows!!!  My chart looks COMPLETELY different this month and it's so out of whack!  My usual LP average is 13 days, so AF should arrive on Sat.  Temps normally don't plummit, nor have they ever fluctuated like they are this cycle.  My temps tend to drop the day before, but not like this!  Look at June and July.  I'm going to be VERY confused tomorrow if I see a rise again.... I just want to know what the heck is going on!!!!  I suppose I'll be finding out very soon.  :)

[mandimatt]

Wait, is that a sad face you made?   "Took 1 of my FRERs. BFP :( "

did you mean BFN????

[mandimatt]

well this time the wait was short, I'm only 10dpo and got 3 BFPs on three different brands of tests! Off to the Doctor I go!

[filbert143]

Have you ever had a problem with not ovulating??  Your chart this month does appear very odd compared to the others.  You'll have to keep us posted - I'm very curious how it turns out.  

sticky babydust to you!

[Crritter]

Good luck to you gals and congrats on the bfps!  I am still feeling very sick after 3 weeks of nausea and light headedness, finally gave in and called the Dr., did get my af, but it was awful and still really heavy eevn now after 7 days.  They think I'm just really run down from stress and working too much, plus I wasn't taking my vitamin.  Kinda sad, but still, not a good time for me.  Good luck to those still waiting.

I don't have problems O'ing that I know of....I've only been charting my bbt since April and with that month I started after my "O" date, so really only about 4 months that I've been charting with bbt.  I actually didn't think I was Oing back in May so I called the dr and asked him what my options were.  He was going to arrange for an u/s at a specific time in my cycle to look for a follicle and make sure that O was taking place, but before we got that far, I found out I was actually PG.  I had a blood hcg test done at 10 DPO and BFN...then later on a few days later or so I got a BFP at home.  So, since I had an EP back in Oct. the dr agreed to do an hcg and to make a long story short, I ended up with another EP in June and had emergency lap. surgery and lost my left tube.  Since the surgery... my June cycle was odd with OPK's as I never did get a positive that month, but I just chalked that up to having just had surgery. We were told to wait 2 cycles before ttc again but obviously we didn't.  I have gotten +OPK's the last two months now.... so ???  I didn't want to jump the gun and run back to the dr...(hate to wear out my welcome)...if there's nothing wrong, but at the same time, I feel like I'm racing against time in a sense and also....I've met my insurance ded. so now would be the time to have this stuff done so long as ins. covers it.  I know coding in the medical offices can get tricky, so I don't know if ins. would consider it an infertility issue and cover it or not.  I just don't know how long to wait before running back to the dr. I guess....  We've been ttc for a year now.... 2 EP in 6 months....  what do you think my options are?

Jifnif...feel free to stalk me at home if you have time... I'd be interested in your opinion although, I feel like I could be getting the onset of AF symptoms... Arrrgggg!

I saw a specialist too - I have endometriosis which was causing some problems.  Anyway, I had the whole treatment done - blood work and ultrasounds throughout my cycle to make sure I have good levels of hormones and that I was ovulating.  They also did an HSG to make sure my tubes were clear.  My insurance covered just about everything but the HSG.  I have blue cross/blue shield, if that helps at all.

I also had an EP...but I was actually "lucky" and miscarried it before I even knew it was an EP.  Very rare they say...

I now have two dd's...so something must have worked itself out :)

Im afraid thats me out! Its so frustrating. My progesterone results came back as 'normal', although i dont know what normal means, do you think they mean a normal amount for someone thats ovulated or do they mean a normal amount of progesterone that indicates ovulation hasnt occured?!
Im trying to think positive and look forward to next month although when AF does arrive it tends to make me feel very low.
I have my fingers crossed for eveyone else thats still in with a chance this month. I'll be keeping a close eye on this thread so GOOD LUCK to everyone.

filbert, I have the onset of endometriosis, but the dr. says it's VERY LITTLE and nothing to be concerned about.  I've had bloodwork for hcg, but nothing else.  I also had the HSG....I wouldn't put my worst enemy through that!!  OUCH!  Anyway, it showed that my tubes are clear, so I don't know what the problem is.  I have Coventry, but before that I always went with BC/BS.  Coventry has been VERY good to me I must say.  Hang in there!  

AF showed up today, so I'm out!!  :(  'll be watching for updates to this thread....

Oops yes I meant BFN. I guess I put BFP because thats what I really want.  Took another one this morning and same thing. Congratulations on your BFP though :) hopefully in another day or 2 mine will say BFP.  Im anywhere between 8-10 DPO.

Sorry Alysen... i'm right there with ya! :)  Weaversgirl.... i'm keeping my fingers crossed for you and Mandi... CONGRATS!!

This has been a great TWW with you ladies... how about for those of us who weren't so lucky.. we meet back here again next month with a new thread!!  It's been nice talking to all of you so keep updating!! :)  I called my dr today and asked if there was anything we could do to start figuring out things.  He's got me scheduled for an u/s at CD 12 and soon thereafter I will be injected with Ovidrel which will force ovulation....if it's on my good side (right).  I lost my left tube so they're going  to try and see if I can O from my right side.   Both my EP were with O being from the left side.  Time will tell! :)
