Crazy lady coming through

[Lisa295]

Hi everyone. I'm new here and this is my first post. I feel like a crazy person right now but kind of in a good way, haha.

SO and I have been together for 9 years and have been TTC for a good 6-7 of those, with no luck. I have PCOS and he has a low sperm count so the odds are kind of against us in the natural conception department. I do, however, ovulate, just not as often or as on-time as I would without the wretched PCOS.

SO and I are in a really good position financially right now so we're about to get really serious and start taking the next steps toward our goal of having a baby. My doctor wants to do a pap test as i'm due for one pretty much now, and she also wants me to have another ultrasound just to check the status of my PCOS, and then she's going to refer me to a specialist to talk about where to go from there.

Well, I know i'm ovulating at the moment, and we had a really amazing night last night (wink wink), and when I was laying in bed trying to fall asleep after, I had this really weird feeling. I was half asleep and I just suddenly woke up and in my head I said "tonight was the night!" and I just had this really strange feeling that it was a special night, for reasons other than the intimacy. I told myself i'd probably feel different in the morning and finally fell asleep.

Well it's the following day and I still feel it. I feel kind of silly admitting it but I just can't get over this hunch. It's probably got a lot to do with the dreams i've been having lately where i'm pregnant, lol, but still. My head is telling me something! And now I feel like a crazy lady. I haven't told my other half. He knows how much I want this so he'd probably just tell me to stop giving myself false hope.

So now it's just a waiting game. And I hate waiting!

It would be a miracle if my hunch turned out to be right. I mean, i'm more than happy to go see a thousand doctors and specialists and take whatever medication they feed me if it'll help me conceive, but if it were to happen naturally? And now, of all times, just when we're deciding to get started on all of the medical mumbo jumbo, I'm honestly not sure how i'd react. There would be plenty of happy tears, I can tell you!

Well I just needed to get that out. Not telling anybody is harder than it seemed, even if it's not even 24 hours later yet. So whoever reads this, kudos and thank you for making it through my ramblings!

The wait begins!

Good luck mama!

Good luck!  A friend of mine was TTC for a while.  She scheduled an appointment with a fertility doc and when she did the standard urine test at the appointment, she found out she was pregnant!  No fertility doc necessary!  Hopefully, this will be your time.  Fingers crossed for you.  If not, you have tons of support here.

That would be awesome if your hunch was right!! I am a big believer in following your intuition! Good luck!

Thanks ladies :D

Well it's been 16 days since then. I haven't tested yet but probably will toward the end of this week.

I've been utterly exhausted lately and at the same time having trouble sleeping. Been getting cold and then hot, and then cold and hot again. That's a pain in the butt D: Super hungry lately. I don't normally eat breakfast because i'm never hungry enough to eat in the morning but lately i've been waking up feeling starved and I just feel like I could eat all day LOL.

I've had some spotting on and off in the past 2 weeks, mainly when I wipe. I thought AF had hit me on Friday just gone, because I had some bleeding that was a bit heavier than spotting but it only lasted an hour, if that. No bleeding/spotting since then. I'll randomly feel nauseous sometimes but not enough to make me feel like vomiting.

I've also had some very watery cm for the past 2-3 days. I keep rushing to the bathroom thinking AF had shown her ugly face but no, just more cm lol. Mild cramping from time to time but that disappears quite quickly. Breasts aren't sore at all but i've noticed that they feel fuller/heavier. OH has noticed this too haha. And this morning I developed a horrible metallic taste in my mouth but that only happened after I ate breakfast.

I guess time will tell!

17 days.

I feel awful today. I felt nauseous earlier this morning. My mouth still tastes like metal although it's not as strong as it was yesterday. I had the WORST night's sleep ever. I went to bed at 12am and I laid there for a good 2 hours trying to fall asleep. I was hot then cold then freezing then boiling. I finally fell asleep but I woke up a hundred thousand times after that, tossing and turning all night. When I woke up this morning I felt quite warm and for some reason I thought it had to have been past 11am, probably closer to 12pm. OH came into our room to get a jacket and I asked him what time it was. It was only 9am. No wonder I still felt exhausted. I was starving though. I usually don't feel THAT hungry until lunch time.

Horrible mood. I yelled at him for something after I got out of bed and then almost cried for being so mad.

I feel like i'm getting a mild cold. My nose is all stuffy and I feel light headed a lot. I just want to curl up on the couch and stay there for the rest of my life D:

CM isn't so watery anymore, it's more creamy now and there's still quite a lot of it. I feel a lot like AF is gonna hit me any minute. I hope not lol.

Well, you certainly are having quite a few symptoms!  CF isn't really a good indicator of pregnancy.  Many women experience increased CF toward the end of their LP, but of course many pregnant women also experience an increase in CF.  So you don't really know. 

But, if it's been 17 days since you DTD and you assume that sperm will only live for about 5 days in fertile CF, then you could put your latest O day 12 days ago.  You will likely get an accurate HPT result at this point.  Just get one that only requires an hCG level of 25 like many dollar store tests, generic drug store tests, First Response Early Response, etc.  Pink dye is best.  If you get a BFN and still no AF, then test again in a few days to a week.  If you get another BFN, it is unlikely that you O'd within the 5 day period after DTD. Good luck!

Thank you :D I'll be testing some time next week, hopefully tuesday or wednesday.

I thought AF was arriving last night but it just turned out to be more spotting. Then I had this weird achy kind of pain in my lower back and hips. Then when I went to bed I started getting crampy type aches in my lower stomach. Haha it's strange how every little ache and pain makes you wonder lol. If AF is coming to town I wish she would just hurry up and do it already!

Will keep you posted :)
