Your Chart TTC'ers and non-TTC'ers welcome PART 3

Carry on posting ladies

Just posting to say thanks for all your support and thoughts today. I had two glasses of wine tonight and dinner with friends,so that was nice. Still haven't told DH as he has not arrived home yet. I know he will be disappointed and will have to get his SA. :S
At least I will get in one more cycle until my appointment with the OB in November.
Thanks for the new thread Georgi!!
Beth, I hope you will O soon and not have a crazy long cycle like me!
Skyllar, how are you doing?
Emma and Sparkles, thanks for your thoughts. xo

I called my nurse practioner today to see if I could get another script for Femara. Kind of have mixed feelings about it. I have a feeling that when I investigate the diet that Angel posted and also that e-book I mentioned, taking fertility drugs is actually contraindicative. But for right now it's hard to let go of it. It's *supposed* to work so I keep believing it will.

Anyway, my insurance has even refused to reimburse me for my out-of-pocket Femara expenses, citing that I didn't use the union pharmacy. Well yeah....it's mail order for me and I need this on a 3-day notice! And I suspect I'll have to pay full-price, no co-pay, on it anyway, so this is a big pain. But I'm trying to play by the rules, so I requested this new script be sent to the union pharamcy....takes about a week to get to me. I figured I have the time. Of course, I've been so wrong about stuff lately!

Oh, the gyno office closes at noon, my NP is off today, and the RN did not call me back so I have no idea if I get the script or not. *sigh*

yes Beth,I would check the diet out for at least 3 months before you try drugs,but thats just me! At least look into it,especially if your gut tell you to ,remember the secret,you have to look for signs,when they pop up,listen to your inner nudge.

So today is CD25 and no confirmed ovulation. Maybe we should start a poll on how long this cycles will last, lol. My two looong cycles were 41 and 48 days but I had help ending them. Otherwise, I don't think I've gone past 32 day ever.

So, I guess that's exciting and I think, I feel good about our decision. I am taking B6 (actually a B complex) on top of my prenatals this cycle to possibly lengthen my LP (cause it can be short while BFing). So we will see what this cycle brings.

Good for you, I really don't see it taking long honey!!!

Sending you 'ers lots of babydust

I started getting a sore throat Saturday night (I think it's sympathetic pain for Princess Longbottom!) and now have a mild cold. Nothing too bad but I'm feeling slow for sure. Didn't sleep well. Bleh.

Got a call this morning from my nurse practioner's RN and they're faxing in the new script for Femara to my hubby's union pharmacy -- since my insurance is being dicks about it. I was told to get a progesterone test every month but I told her I didn't this month because my insurance stopped paying for it (being dicks about it -- again). Told her last month's reading was really good (it was) but neglected to say that I didn't/haven't yet ovulated this month. Just didn't feel like getting into it. I'm afraid if they knew, they won't give me the drugs because they think it won't work anymore.

Hi ladies,
Sorry that I have been MIA!

Beth, how are you doing? I am sorry that you have not O'ed yet. Although it looks like your temp is up today. I hope you can go back and get another appointment to see what is going on. I am sorry to hear that you are not feeling well. I hope you are feeling better soon!! xoxo

Sky, how are you? So sweet of you to say you missed me! How are things with teaching going? I am glad that you are going to keep TTCing. I know it won't be long for you!

AFM, I was away this weekend staying at a friend's for her baby shower. It was nice to get away, but I am happy to be at home. I went today for my first day of acupuncture and it went well. I was so relaxed that I fell asleep. One of my friends this weekend told me that she has been going and recently got pregnant. And after you had such success with your ovulation Beth, i decided to do it. It is covered by my health insurance so I figure that I have nothing to lose! I am going to go one more time this week on Friday and keep my fingers crossed that I will O sooner.

Hope you all are well.

Cold is getting better every day. It was never real bad, just annoying. I suspect I'll feel pretty good by the weekend again.

CD30 for me and nothing going on. WhiteLily commented on the other board that my temps seem a bit high for pre-ovulation...and they are. My coverline is usually 97.8 or 97.9 and my last 12 temps have been higher than that, but not much more. I'm not sure if it means anything.

Lindzee, do you have any dr. appointments scheduled? Sorry, can't remember. When will you do acu? I saw an improvement in my cycles after the 3rd month, which seems to be the magic number I've heard frequently. You're so lucky your insurance cover it!

Hope you're doing well, sky. What CD are you?

sorry about the headaches -- that sucks! I remember my first month on Femara, the low dose month, I had a headache (not too bad though) for about a week. SUCKED! Do you take your vitamins at night? If it is a s/e of the B complex, maybe taking it at night on a full stomach would help?
