The Fabulous ONE THREAD for November 21st - 27th, 2010 - Page 10

Sourie: It's definitely Rider fever around Saskatoon right now! It's pretty nuts :) This is the kind of time where I duck my head and try not to get noticed. I'm a hockey fan and just couldn't care less about football! So I smile and nod. I guess I'll have to check the score before work on Monday... LOL

Did your Dr recommend you use the progesterone?  Just wondering cause I don't know about all of the supplements and medications for TTC.  

Yep, my OB recommended I use the prometrium. I tested my progesterone starting 3 dpo and then every other day until 11dpo to get a full picture of what was going on.  My levels are low overall and fluctuate a lot during the luteal phase too. So I started prometrium last month. I also added a vitamin B complex this month (just on my own, hoping it would help). I am pretty sure it made me ovulate earlier than usual so I'm hoping it has other positive effects.  I've been lucky because I know a lot of people have bad side effects with the prometrium and I really haven't had any. I did feel kind of light headed last month and actually thought it might be a pregnancy symptom (I get super light headed during pregnancy) but then read that prometrium can mimic pregnancy symptoms. But no other bad side effects or anything.

I knew I was going to miscarry during my second pregnancy, and stopped using progesterone cream, especially hoping not to miscarry on Christmas Eve or Christmas day. It worked, I miscarried December 23rd 2008. I guess I'm sharing this to say that I would never test on those days!

Sarah2881...  I'm guessing that I ovulated today, I should know soon enough. Keep those positive thoughts coming! The holidays get more depressing for me every year.

Well, the witch stopped tapping at the door and just came barging through uninvited this afternoon .  So CD1 for me  -  and here's to a fresh, fertile and frisky reproductive month (AND my DH is not going away this month, so no stressing about timing!!!!  Woohoo!!!) with a new prenatal and Vitex.  I'm going to take my frustration out on the gym equipment bright and early tomorrow morning (to burn off the crumpet with jam and cream I just had....  lol).

DS sat on my lap this afternoon to give me a cuddle, and just came out with "Mum, why aren't you pregnant yet?"  Sigh.  I'm trying honey, really I am.  Bless him.

SS she showed her face Music! Boo AF!!!

Stevi, I'm with you... I could never test on a big Holiday... I know it either way it would screw up my celebration. If it was negative, I would be all depressed and sad. If it was positive, I would be obsessed with myself and not be able to enjoy the holiday... and if God forbid, it ended badly, that would be a day I would remember for the rest of my life in a negative light. I would much rather just not possibly ruin my favorite time of year that way. Although *IF* I get a BFP this time around, I will want to tell DH on Christmas morning... but even that makes me nervous.

Does anyone want to take over the thread for this week? If not, I'm cool with doing it again.... but just wanted to give someone else the opportunity if they wanted to. :)

AFM: Yay for a fairly quick rise to post-O temps for me!!! I'm REALLY excited about that. My early morning temp (at the time I USED to take my temps) was 97.7!! It usually takes a good 3-5 days to get to those kinds of temperatures. I think the soy gave me a nice strong O with a nice, dramatic NORMAL jump!!! No slow rises for me this month! SCORE!!! And with our timing, I think our chances are higher then they've ever been! :) I have a good feeling! This is definitely one of the prettiest pre-O and O charts I've EVER had! :)

Hey All -

Vacation has had me MIA for a while.  Waiting to O anytime now...but kind of taking it easy this month and trying not to obsess.  Woke up this morning with a lovely UTI so I am feeling extremely uncomfortable and waiting for my meds to kick in.  That's twice in the last two months that I've had one of these.  I'm starting to think it might warrant a trip to the doctor.  I have had problems with them in the past and undergone tests that say everything is "normal" -- the docs had me taking a mild antibiotic after BDing to ward off any potential infections.  Wondering if I may have to go down that path again...

musicoholic -  :hug for :af finding you!

A2E - So excited for you!  :fingersx for a BFP this month!

I know exactly how you feel because I am football fan and don't give a crap about hockey.... when the Canadiens make the playoffs it gets kind of nuts around here and I just sit around wishing they will get eliminated as quickly as possible lol

AFM - well I expected a drop in temp this morning and AF. Instead, my temp went up a bit and I have no sign of spotting anymore, not even when I dig around near my cervix!!!!! As soon as I saw my temp this morning, I ran and peed on a FRER but it was BFN. In spite of that, I have managed to become extremely hopeful for this month all of a sudden! 11 DPO is totally uncharted territory for me, I have never been here before! So much for being relaxed during this TWW, I am soooooooooooo not relaxed anymore.

[LivingSky]

Sourire: LOL! That's funny :) I think it has a lot to do with where we grow up. I grew up in BC, and there it's all about hockey and the Canucks - pretty much no one cares about football and the BC Lions. They can barely give away tickets! In Saskatchewan, minor hockey is big but really, everything is about the Roughriders! I like telling Roughriders fans that the only reason they care about the Riders is because they don't have an NHL team... then I duck and run!

That's awesome about your temp and longer LP! I didn't get a solid positive until 14dpo, my 12dpo test was inconclusive at best, so I wouldn't stress at all about a BFN at 11dpo. I have my fingers crossed for you!

bonadl2: Sorry about the UTI, that sucks. I know there's a few ladies on here who have had to deal with recurring UTIs - hopefully one of them has some suggestions on how to manage them.

musicoholic: Sorry for AF's arrival :(

A2E and Stevi: I agree, I don't think I could test on a big holiday either. I tested on DH's birthday in October and that was scary enough.

A2E: YAY for soy helping out with temps! I hope this is your month!

[Calycanth]

Sourire, your chart is still looking good!  We can be "not relaxed" together.    I tested today (10 DPO) and got a BFN as well.  I'm going to give it a couple of days and try again, provided AF doesn't show up in the meantime.

I'm on CD18 right now. 9 days until AF is due. *WAITING* I hate this stupid TWW. And I don't even have fun obsessing anymore because it just depresses me. Plus I've read every single website out there about TWW symptoms, so I've got nothing left to read. LOL!

I went to the boat last night for the second time ever. 30 seconds after I got there, I won $52... Then I lost all of that plus $34. =( This is why I don't gamble. I'm SO mad at myself for not cashing out, but I had literally just gotten there... Grrr.

I also went to a strip club and had two drinks. I've had a headache and nausea ALL day. This is why I don't drink EVER. Hangovers come after me with a FURY even if I've only had 1-2 drinks.

Besides that, nothing going out baby wise. Even though our timing was sooo awesome this cycle, I still don't see anything coming of it. I've learned to not get my hopes up at all.

New thread is up ladies!!! :)

[larablue]

Congrats to all of you with BFP.

Unfortunately, AF came two days after the first spotting.

Funny enough.

Thank you for your crossing your fingers!
