**TTC in our 20's FEBRUARY** - Page 3

[bumminbeachbabe]

I'm off to my dr's appt in about an hour and a half. I won't know anything for a little while. I did get an appointment scheduled with a new ob for February 25th though. Hopefully she'll have some great tricks up her sleeve to help us get pregnant.

I just want to let you ladies know that I will be on top of updates, but I might be slow with persies. I've just been diagnosed with chronic fatigue and it's making it hard to do all the stuff I normally do. Hopefully once we figure out the root cause I'll be back up to doing it all!

[HopefulJo]

Anjuli- Thanks for the work that you have done! Good luck with the new OB, and with dealing with the new diagnosis. Keep us posted.

Hey Anjuli, good luck today! I hope all goes well, even though you won't know anything for a bit. Good luck with the chronic fatigue. I hope you find the cause soon!

[AdalynsMama]

AF showed today. Oh well.

Good luck Anjuli!!

Thanks you! Yes, please add my age (26) as well as DS and my 2 angels. Sorry about your chronic fatigue. I had the same thing going on a few months back. I got excited thinking I was pg but mine ended up being severe anemia. Good luck at your appt. Hope you feel better soon. s

[bumminbeachbabe]

You guys are so sweet! The appointment went fine. The tech said she didn't see anything, but I'd have results by Friday. It was really cool seeing the follicles.

Adalynsmama, sorry about af.

beautyonthebeach, I have you updated!

So I have a quick question, my period just ended 2 days ago (spotting stopped) and now this evening I have blood tinged creamy mucous, well watery creamy, it isn't too stretchy but a bit, ideas?

Did you do anything extra physical today? Like physical activity I mean?... or "rough" intercourse? Those could be the cause of maybe some delayed menstrual lining that the rough activity caused to come off today... just a thought.

Tara, Thanks for the kind words! I have NO IDEA what my cycle's doing. Take a look at my chart now I had a BIG dip today... the only thing I can think of is that maybe I had some interrupted sleep which caused my temp to rise so much (would've been subconcious because I didn't get up or wake up that I know of). Then last night I went to bed pretty early and slept like a ROCK so maybe that's why it was back a little lower? I dont know. This cycle is really annoying me. lol. Also, we did BD last night and we hadn't for a few days on the last one so maybe I did O on the 31st?... *sigh* guess time will (hopefully) tell.

Anjuli, hope your fatigue gets better! I've been experiencing it for a LONG time too. Nearly 4 months of horrible horrible fatigue. I have been tested for everything possible (our biggest concern was thyroid) but all came back clean... only thing left could be adenoids and I have an appt for that soon. Wish you luck and more energy! s

Hope everyone has a great Wednesday!! Crossing my fingers for several BFPs tomorrow! :-)

[EricaRN]

oh and also, if you take an OPK after intercourse does it affect the results? I mean not like RIGHT after intercourse, but like a day later? maybe that's a stupid question but I wanna make sure I'm doing it right and not wasting them... thanks! :-)

[lawmama1984]

Erica, that is SO not a dumb question! I thought the same thing b/c with DS1, I peed on an OPK right after (and yes, I mean right after....*hanging head* ) intercourse a couple times. In my experience, it did not affect it at all. I got negatives as well as positives (ok, maybe I did it 3 times...max )

Erica~ I have no idea what your chart is doing either! WHOA! That's the thing with TTC...you just have to wait until the cycle is over to REALLY know everything!!! How long is your LP usually? When are you expecting AF to show or not show? Keep us posted!

bumminbeachbabe~ Keep us posted with your results!! Glad it went well!

AdalynsMama~ Keep your chin up!

HopefulJo~ I am so sorry your cycle confused you so much! It DOES make me wonder if you had a chemical...it almost looks like you had implantation possible on 9DPO? Hmm....I wonder what the rest of the ladies will think! Can you implant on 3DPO? I'm not sure! You could have implanted there too possibly?

MrsD08~ Yah for a temp rise!!!!!!

Okay..sorry to all I've missed! I'm So tired tonight. DD was up a lot last night with a cough.

*Also, please add my age (24) to the front page when you get a chance!!

[MrsD08]

EricaRN~I think you might have O'd on CD 22 or 23....I guess only time will tell.

[OJazzy1]

I did exercise but nothing out of the norm and (TMI) I didn't have sex until after I discovered the discharge... hmm not sure... and I am so new at this temp stuff!

My best guess is that it was a chemical, with implantation at 9DPO. The rise at 3DPO was consistent with my previous month's chart. I never got a BFP to confirm it, though. I was curious as to what else could delay AF when ovulation's clear, and couldn't find any other good explanations for the triphasic chart.

Well, AF's here, and, as I told DH, our next window to try is around Valentine's Day! Let the romancing begin!

I wanted to post this incase someone has not seen it. It's a documentary on home birth VS hospital birth and all that may be involved in hospital birth.

Tara- Now today it went up from 97 to 97.1 which is similar to what it did at the beginning of my cycle... I'm SOOO confused! ahhh! I have no idea how long my LP is since I just started charting. And to be honest I dont know when to expect AF because the last few months I've had TOTALLY irregular cycles (some 14 days, some 30 days and then last cycle it was 46 days...) I have no clue what's going on with my cycle and my regular dr wants me to just watch my cycle for a bit to see what happens.... well I have NO IDEA what's happening. lol. Anyway, I just wanna know what's up! Thanks for the input. Keep it comin'. :-)

Jo- so sorry to hear of AF and the roller coaster you've been on! I wish you the best of luck BD'ing this next cycle. Here comes Valentine's Day! Woohoo!!!

Shoot, I know there was more I wanted to say but now I forget... lol. I'll post again later if I remember.

Have a great day ladies!! :-)

Now what?

I was right... a little bit of hope IS dangerous. Just got out of the bathroom (TMI warning) and when I wiped there was pink/red spotting on the TP. It was VERY light, lighter than it's ever been, and it's red instead of brown. I went from being cautiously excited to... flat.

Awww I'm sorry MrsM! Maybe it's nothing?... Well, if it is then just focus on having fun over Valentine's Day to get your November baby! :-)
