mid-week check-in, hoping for a chart-peek'er

hey ladies. Today is CD 16, with my loss at 5 weeks being CD1. my chart doesn't make any sense at all. i thought i'd O'd CD9, which i know is generally unlikely & early, but i thought maybe it was possible after a m/c. but since then my temps haven't reflected ovulation, i don't know what to think. i was hoping someone might take a peek at my chart. is this annovulatory, or just not yet, or ????

MM - I think most likely you just haven't O'ed yet. After my m/cs my cycle tended to be a bit longer with a slightly delayed O. HTH.

[OJazzy1]

So I did something kind of nutty today. I decided to go ahead and use egg whites. I read up on it and it seems reasonable so I decided why not? What a laughable experience that was! Trying to get that inserted... I tried not to think about what I was doing, haha. Anyway, it will be easy to tell if it works or not I guess right?

Check-In

Name: Mohawk Mamma

Date: 12/12

Chart: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/31b61f

Where are you in your cycle: 2 DPO, i think , FF hasn't given me crosshairs yet, but that's where i think i am

Appointments: none

Symptoms: creamy CM, that's about it

Testing: 2 ww, i guess. Would be nice to know one way or the other for Christmas. either that we're expecting a hopefully very sticky baby, or that we'll begin the new year with hope and a clean slate. i seriously long for the new year, so much has gone wrong this year, especially since we lost Molly the day before Thanksgiving, i just want a fresh start that i hope the new year will bring.

[HopefullyMama]

Monday Check-In

Name: Mackenzie

Date: Dec 13

Chart: On paper...I know, how very ancient of me.

Where are you in your cycle: CD 9

Appointments: Nope

Symptoms: None to speak of, except for the soy side-effects (headaches, hot flashes, tummy trouble)

Testing: Hopefully not until after the New Year.  I don't want to stress until then.  Har har har....like not testing will mean not stressing!  

Thoughts:  Trying to get over this slump of feeling sorry for myself since this latest chemical.  It's only been 9 days, and I shouldn't be pushing myself to move past it, but I'm just sick of feeling bad, ya know?  And man, my DBF is sick of me feeling bad too.  I can tell it's wearing on him.  My first chemical was tough, but I lost the pregnancy almost immediately after it implanted, and didn't really even figure out that it was a chemical until AFTER the fact.  With this one it was different.  I KNEW I was pregnant.  I could feel it.  The test told me so.  My body told me so.  And while I only got to enjoy it for a few hours, I still feel like I bonded a little, if that makes sense.  Blah, I don't know.  I just want this to HAPPEN already.

Check-In

Name: Gale

Date: 12/13

Chart: Not charting right now

Where are you in your cycle: 15 dpiui

Appointments: RE on Wednesday

Symptoms: Nope

Testing: HCG on Wednesday

Thoughts:  I have a call in to the RE to see if I truly still need to go in for my blood test since I did a POAS today and it was stark white.  Surely it would have shown up by now if I were pregnant.

Monday Check-In
Name: Andy
Date: Dec 13
Chart:  Link
Where are you in your cycle: Cycle day 32/14DPO
Appointments: Just went and saw my naturopath who is also a MD.
Symptoms if they apply:
Testing: Bfn on 9 & 11dpo
Thoughts:

I was going to take a hpt last night, but then decided to check my cervix first which was softer and open.. So then I took my temp which was back down to 36.2... So I didn't take the test as I expected to get af last/night this morning... Had some cramps in the morning but no af or even a spot of anything... Never had it not show up right after temp drop... I've given up hope for this cycle so I really want to start the next as my naturopath/md  just prescribed progesterone cream as my levels were on the low side and I'm excited but also scared that that might be all I need to get pg!

Monday check-in
Name: Cait
Date: 12/13
Chart: link below
Where are you in your cycle? CD 28, 11dpo
Appointments: none
Symptoms: sore boobs-more today than yesterday, spotting since 8dpo- not a lot, most of the time not even enough to reach a pantyliner, but sometimes it is reddish brown...
Testing: already tested at 7,9,10 dpo- stark white. I'll test again if my temp stays up tomorrow and af doesn't show.
Thoughts: I'm already pretty certain af its coming any time. I really just feel sad and disappointed. DH has finally come around to really trying and not just NTNP and now we have to avoid until April. I just wish we had more time. That and I would've liked sharing my birthday with a little peanut. Sad.

Chart: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/30c2d9 
Where are you in your cycle? CD 56
Appointments: None
Symptoms: A little TMI...after I peed this morning and wiped I saw a streak of blood, so I wiped some more and there was another streak. I figured that AF was here but later in the day after goign potty again there was nothing at all. I've only spotted once or twice and thought it was the start of AF but it never showed till weeks to months later.

Testing: Nah

Thoughts:I know AF won't show till around January so I'm looking forward to that.

[earthmummy08]

Check-In

Name: Earthmummy08 (i am 25, trying for baby #2)
Date: 12/17
Chart: Not Charting
Where are you in your cycle: Day 18 / 6 dpo
Appointments: none
Symptoms if they apply: Headache since 2 days after ov, nauseous today + vomiting this morning? slight creamy cm and wet feeling some days (sorry tmi!!)
Testing: next week sometime
Thoughts: 3rd cycle of ttc, positive one minute and negative the next. did we time it right this month? why have i not got any of the 'normal' aches and pains i have had in the last ttw's? i keep telling myself not to think about it so much but that is soooo hard. When i got my bfp with my dd, we were not trying, af was 1 week late and i just really didnt feel pregnant or suspect it and wham it happened with out even thinking about it, now we are trying its not happening! arrggghhhh!! 

[jacqueline22]

Add me please! I'm 25 & ttc #1. I've been TTC for 2 years and I keep my chart on paper.

I normally just lurk and learn from these forums, but I'm feeling bold!

I had two 'chemical' pregnancies this fall, which was very hard. Here's hoping for a change!

[OJazzy1]

Welcome jacueline22! Glad you came out of lurking and hope your stay with us is short.

Check-In

Name: Gale

Date: 12/19
Chart: Not Charting
Where are you in your cycle: CD2

Appointments: tomorrow am with the RE
Symptoms if they apply: n/a

Testing: Beta 16 dpiui
Thoughts:      I go tomorrow for my CD3 ultrasound in preparation for our second IUI.  I wish I could say I'm excited about it, but the first one was way too hard to deal with emotionally.  We went back and forth on whether or not to do it again right away, but I'm now of the mindset that I want to "do it and get it over with".  It will either work or not work, and waiting a few months in between will only draw out the torture of waiting to see if it worked.  This is month 18.

Name: Mohawk Mamma
Date: 12/19
Chart: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/31b61f

Where are you in your cycle:  CD 26, 10 DPO

Appointments: none yet

Symptoms: frequent urination, some fatigue, increased appetite, AWESOME pregnant DTD already

Testing: negatives the last 3 days, then an obvious positive this morning with SMU

Thoughts: happy & excited, but at the same time SO scared i'm going to lose this baby too. it's only been 26 days since we lost Molly at 5 weeks. i feel like if we can get past that 5 week mark we'll be ok. definitely not telling anyone til we hear/see a heartbeat, just feel like we'll be closer to out of the woods at that point. however, i REFUSE to try to hide this baby. i am NOT ashamed, & i will treasure every moment i have this time. so if folks start to notice my growing tummy sooner than we announce, we'll deal with it, but i'm not going to deny this baby exists. I WANT YOU, BABY. please stay with is.
