I feel bad that i'm not responding much to everyone's posts, and I just wanted to say I was sorry...I'm seriously in a funk right now...i'm so down and depressed...I was doing so well...I wasn't thinking of my losses or Ella constantly, but now I find myself thinking of it all more, which honestly i'm tired of...Now with this funky ovulation, it's just making everything 10x worse...Still not even close to having a positive OPK or a good reading on my monitor...I should of gotten a positive OPK at around CD 13...I stopped taking B vitamins and I stopped taking baby aspirin...I wish I would of listened to my gut and stopped the aspirin when AF showed this cycle, but my doctor told me to keep taking it...I just wonder if this has anything to do with my LP...If I don't have anything happen by friday i'm going to call my doctor...So any way, I just wanted to say I was sorry for not responding, I just can't get myself to do much of it

I am so sorry hun. I wish I had something wise to say but I don't. This is something that totally sucks and consumes your every thought. I try to find ways to distract myself but nothing ever seems to help I just do that thing while thinking about a baby, or my losses, or what cycle day I am, when to test, OMG did I O this month etc.

Dont be sorry hun, this is all such a huge healing process and we can only take it a day at a time. Sometimes they are good and others, not. Wether you are here or not, you are always in thought.
I know I'm freaking out right now because I don't think I'm going to O anymore and wonder if Elijah was my last. It's hard to think straight sometimes but coming here and seeing all these bfp's helps me. I ramble too much
I'm so sorry hun, come here to unload anytime and like I said, we're always here for you when ready.

I am so sorry for all of the hurt that you are feeling. I did want to tell you that I do not think it is the Baby Aspirin. My RE has had me on them for about a year now and I have never had issues with ovulating until I started this Fertil Aid. The aspirin is to help with any clotting. It is such a minimal amount and actually for many people a Dr asks you to take an aspirin a day to help with heart attacks but who knows. I know how you are feeling because I think the FertilAid threw me off track as well. We have to go with our heart and do what we think is going to help get us thrugh the day and months ahead when we suffer losses like this. We are here for you to vent.

HUGS! Megan don't feel sorry. You are such an amazing woman. You are always there for every single one of us when we need you and this is a moment where you need us and we are here for you. I'm sorry your going through this and I wish our bodies didn't betray us so much. I hope you O soon and I agree with you I would call the doctor if nothing changes soon and maybe they could do some BT or something and see what is going on.

Ugh, I'm sorry things are so off for you this cycle. I looked at your chart, what a jerk it's being, dipping then popping back up then dipping again, making it look like you're going to O and then not following through. What a tease  And last month it looked like you were going to go triphasic. AUGH. Post as much or as little as you want. Just know that you're one of the ones I always pray for

Last month I started to spot at 5 dpo, which only ever happened to me when pregnant...My doctor did check my progesterone, but I haven't heard about that or my other bloodwork...I called the office today to ask about my bloodwork and to let her know about my ovulation problem, but she's not in today...My body feels like it's trying to ovulate...I've had cramps, EWCM and ovulation pain...I honestly just feel like giving up TTC, i'm so sick of it!!!

I feel you on the funk and depression aspect. I am down really bad again. I don't get on as much anymore because all I see is everyone getting pregnant and it hurts, a lot. Not that I am not happy for people, but it still hurts so I feel you. Know that you are not alone.

I'm sorry you're feeling this way. If it makes you feel any better, I completely feel the same way as you. I've been feeling really down and out about this all too.
Sending you many hugs and ++++ vibes!

I'm so sorry you're feeling this way! I've been in a horribly depressed/miserable/angry funk lately too, and it stinks. I hope that your body gets back on track and you get your sticky bfp soon! Great big  !!!
