Your Chart...Part 2!!!!!!!!!!

Beth,

I am really sorry the appointment was so rough for you, especially seeing all those pregnant and happy ladies. I know how you are feeling. So many of my very good friends are pregnant and it can be hard when that is what you want and have been trying so hard for so long. Thinking of you and I am glad you appointment went well. I am hoping the clomid will do the trick for you this month!!

AFM, I am STILL waiting to O. :s I am starting to get frustrated ... I know it isn't into the 30s yet like last cycle, but I was really hoping it would be earlier this month. I am really hoping it will happen some time this week, so please keep your fingers crossed.

My friend is having a wedding at the end of the July and when we were looking for dresses in the winter I wanted to get a dress that would be okay in case I was pregnant and now I feel silly for even thinking that. And the irony of it is that my friend ended up getting up getting pregnant in March without even trying. It is really crazy how you think something is going to be so easy and then it doesn't end up being that way.

Here's to hoping.

how are the rest of you ladies?

Beth - I know how difficult it must have to see those pregnant bellies. I remember feeling that way too! It TOTALLY sucks!

However - I must say that it sounds like the appointment itself went really well. It sounds like you were able to finally talk to someone that is taking an interest in YOU!!!!! I know that driving the 2 hours is not really what you had in mind BUT if it gets you in touch with a doctor that's going to help you achieve your goal then it will be totally worth it! (which I know you already know!)

I am glad she gave you the Clomid and I hope this will help reduce your stress level about it all. You've been needing support from a medical point of view for a long time and it sounds like you are well on your way!

((((Beth)))) Love you, babe! Hang in there and I will keep praying for you!

Beth- I remember that all too well when i was having trouble conceiving, i would wait for my gyno usually for something bad and i was surrounded by pregnant womean, it hurt so much xoxo i pray it will be you soon hun

well this is selfish i am feeling a little down its only pms, but i am feeling sad about my M/C and knowing that i would be heavily pregnant at this stage, i knwo i cant think like that but i am down today as Af is about here and i am officially ttc ( ehich I know it doesnt happen straight away) but just feeling down, also that my cycle was really wacky this time, it scares me that ttc will be like last time, nand i have three pregnant friends around me, which i am thrilled about but not today i feel like crying. Anyway i know how extremly lucky i am already and to have such ahealthy girl, i know i would rather have one healthy child than non, i truley am blessed, just having a downer
ANYWAY i looked into soy tablets and asked at our health shop and they dont sell soy tablets on their own?? They have them in menopause tablets but only in small quantities, so i would have to look at getting them from overseas....so not this cycle. i am tampted to stop charting as i dont want to be obbsessed BUT i have long and weird cycles, so i like to know i am ovulating at all

sorry for the rant
hope everyone is well xo

Beth, I am so glad that you NP is putting you in contact with other docs who could help you. To be honest, I didn't want to say but I felt the last had fobbed you off some what and I think you really need to get the ball rolling with someone else as soon as. Two hours is nothing hun when you think about what it is for, so don't worry about going to Chicago, it may be that you get what you need there. I'm sorry about all the pregnant ladies, I remember that feeling too. Keep your chin up, we are here for you! Forgot to say, I haved only used Femera for my post menopausal patients who have breast cancer, I didn't realise it was also used in fertility. I suppose it must be a bit like tamoxifen!

Linzee, It's not silly about the dress. I have a wedding in October and I have put off looking for a dres because I had hoped that I would need a maternity dress.

Sparkles, don't feel bad, you have every right to feel low about your miscarriages, you have been through so much emotionally! It maybe that this is what's messing up your cycles. Are you in touch with anyone for support, such as a counsellor?

As for me, I'm just waiting for my blood results. She took everything under the sun including hormone profile. I'm full of cold at the moment so my temp was high today and I'm not even sure I will feel like bd'ing anytime soon. To be honest, I think I need to come to terms with the fact that I need to lose some weight and hopefully by then I will have my appointment with the gyno.

i hope it all comes back good Emma xo
well af arrived for me and i am in pain and have massive head ahces !!
Lets hope next cycle is lucky for all of us!!

Hope next cycle sorts itself out for you sparkles, look after yourself hun and enjoy Kyrah!

Beth, I have a good feeling you'll get your soon, I just know it

Contracts are signed for the apartment Move on the 25th wooooo!! And I've ovulated, as far as I can tell. Sadly that does mean I'll be on when camping, I guess I'll give tampons another go. They always seem to leak a little with me-and I'm not heavy! Apparently it's my wonky womb hehe x

maybe you should try a different brand, Toffee? Another kind might work better for you.

That's true, they have a new one out called 'pearl' so I may try that!

Tampax Pearl? I use those and like them. I switched to those after using Playtex brand for years. Not sure if you have the same brands though.

Congrats again the apartment! I'm looking forward to hearing about your new life!

I am super-excited because my Nurse Practioner asked the docs. and I get to take Femara this next cycle! She thinks based on my last three charts (ovulation on my own!) that this might be exactly what I need. I have to start on the lower dose though (2.5mg) CD3-7 with a 7DPO progesterone test. If the progesterone is too low, we can try 5mg, but she says that's the max. doseage. I am in a much different place now than I was a year ago when I was trying Clomid. I feel hopeful again!!!

Emma, yes, Femara was initially developed as a breast cancer drug, I believe.

oh and Emma, if you care to post your blood test results, do it. I have my results from March so we can compare if you wish (or through PM). Everything I had done was within normal ranges. Nothing outstandingly good, nothing drastically bad either. I had cholesterol, testosterone, thyroid stuff, blood sugar stuff, prolactin, LH, ...I can't remember it all right now.

Sparkles, I am sorry to hear that arrived. I hope you are feeling better soon and I am hoping for a great next cycle for you!
Galaxy, I am hoping all your results come back for you and good for you for wanting to lose weight to be healthier. It is not easy, but I know you can do it. Lots of little changes can make a big difference. Thinking of you!
Toffee, have fun camping! Too bad you’ll have your while camping, that is not fun!
Beth, that is awesome that you get to take Femara next cycle! It does sound very promising. Crossing my fingers for you!

AFM, I am having one of those down days. I am just feeling so frustrated with my cycle and with the fact that I haven’t ovulated yet. I was hoping this cycle would be more “normal” but it isn’t. I hate that lots of ladies will be testing soon and I still haven’t O’ed yet. I guess I am just having a hard time dealing lately because so many of my close friends are pregnant. I need to get off the pity party wagon and keep thinking more positively. I was hoping I would O this week, but this week isn’t over yet. Thanks for listening!!

Woohoo Beth! I am so excited for you!

Sparkles - Hang in there. You know, when I miscarried I became pregnant the very next month with Owen but throughout my entire pregnancy I would think about what stage I would have been in with the first pregnancy. When my due date with the first baby rolled around I stayed home from work. I just couldn't deal with it.
Even to this day I think about it. I guess it's something that always stays with you. I'm sorry is so hard on you this month. Hang in there! xoxoxo

Lindzee - I did the same thing except I held off on buying new winter clothing! Hope you O soon!!!!!!

Lindzee, I'm sorry this cycle is so frustrating. I was hoping you would have O-ed by now too! Hopefully it will be soon. Don't feel bad about the dress, I did the same thing whether with clothes or starting to plan vacations and things around 'well if I'm pregnant then' or 'well we can tell our family at this holiday because we'll surely be pregnant then.' I too felt really silly when those milestones or markers came and went without any bfp. And I know how frustrating all the pregnant ladies can be, especially the friend you mentioned who got pregnant by accident before her wedding. So annoying when you're ttc!! (((hugs)))

Beth, I too am excited for you about the femera. It sounds like they're taking you seriously. Fingers crossed the femera will do the trick for you!

Emma I'm thinking of you too and hoping it won't be long for you hon!! Also hoping that all those results come back good - either that everything is just fine, or that there's something really easy to address and it will be just the ticket for you getting that bfp!

Mixxer, have you found your way to this thread yet? How are you doing???

Sparkles, I'm so sorry hon. I just want to give you a huge hug ((((((hugs)))))). It's totally understandable for you to feel like this, the losses will sneak up on you sometimes unexpectedly and just hit you with sadness or whatever. It's totally understandable. There were a number of friends who announced their pregnancies around the time of my loss, and they're all having their babies now. Two have already, and I've been to visit both, and another last week and two more later this month. I would have been due July 25 and it got to me every time I saw any of them, I constantly thought about how far along I would have been. I'm not sure how I will cope on the 25th either, but we are away on vacation and flying that day so hopefully I'll be distracted. Even though you have Kyrah and I have another baby on the way, we never forget babies that were lost and that's okay. Feel whatever you need to feel and write me anytime at all if you want a good vent, okay? xoxoxo
