Blegh!

Coley · #1 October 31st, 2009, 08:16 AM

My chart is blegh! I'm feeling kinda weird about this cycle. I almost feel like it's not gonna be a good cycle or something.

My temps are still way high for this time of my cycle. So I'm feeling kinda weird about that.

While my cm has had a slight stretch to it and has felt pretty slippery, it hasn't looked like it usually looks. I do know how it feels is more important than how it looks. I'm not really sure what it truly is right now because we BD'd at like 3 in the morning... so I don't think what's there now is really accurate, ya know?

It may change over the next few days just like I'm still hoping my temps will start dropping over the next few days... but as of right now, I'm just feeling really weird.

well we are truly twins. My chart is sucko too. But its early...at least its not TWW yet, there's still plenty of time. You know if you're not gonna O until CD 15 this cycle or something you are still good.

I am playing the up and down game!! My CL will be higher than usual right now... who ever really knows whats up with our cycles. At least we have appts this week!!

I don't ever know the right words to say. I know when you've been trying a long time you don't want to hear the annoying "good luck hun". Like if luck did the trick then I'd have been pregnant a long time ago right? Anyhow, Nikki, I know I haven't been in your shoes so I won't try to pretend like I have, but please know you are in my thoughts and prayers and I truly hope you get a bfp soon hun. I have seen a lot of girls over the years here get pregnant when they least expected it so I will continue to be hopeful for you when it's hard to be hopeful for yourself. Hang in there and please keep us posted on how your doctor's appt goes. TTC is such a depressing stressful time for some people and such a cake walk for others. It's really not fair.

You know I know this will not make you feel better, but I have to give my boys these pep talks all the time about how unfair life is because yes it truly is when they get so depressed about having diabetes. I have never had infertility, but I have had other things in my life that have been so hard for me to accept and understand so while I will not pretend to understand your feelings on this I will say that I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers that things become more fair to you. Your sweet little baby when it comes will be the most treasured prize of your life and something that you will treasure more than others and just keep that in your heart for now and don't give up hope, ever. Hugs, thoughts, and genuine prayers going out to your Nikki.

Thanks Teresa

That's so kind of you.

Kate - Ah, I see you're on the seesaw too!

I did expect that my temps would be headed downward now. When I had 97.50 for a temp, I thought "Ok, here comes the decline." But then the very next day my temps went right back up to where they were before.

It's all wacky right now... I don't know what to make of it. I think I'm gonna go pee on an OPK now. Let's see what that has to say.

Coley · #5 October 31st, 2009, 10:25 AM

Results are in... The OPK is exactly as I expected it to be at CD 11. The second line is so faint you probably won't even be able to see it on the pic.

After I peed in the cup, I figured I'd check my cm again to see what it looked like. Now it's looking like it should. It had a creamier texture to it first thing this morning... now it's clear and got a much bigger stretch to it. So YAY for that!!

Admin-pattyandthemoos · #6 November 1st, 2009, 09:54 AM

Hey girlie! Where's your temp for today. I don't believe you would have forgotten to temp.

I hope your chart starts looking less blegh. I am not feeling terribly great about my chart this month either.

kiwigirl · #7 November 1st, 2009, 02:32 PM

Don't worry mine is all over the place. Not too sure what's going on?

Coley · #8 November 1st, 2009, 03:26 PM

Okay here's why there hasn't been a temp in there all day... so I woke up at what I thought was 6:15, about 45 mins before my temp time, so I temped, 97.33!! I'm beyond pleased because that's a lower temp.

After it beeps Danny says "Isn't it a bit early for you to be temping?" TIME CHANGE. So basically I temped an HOUR and 45 mins before my temp time.

I went back to sleep, woke up an hour and 45 minutes later and took my temp. 97.69 GRR! Closer to what I was getting when I was waking normally.

I put in 97.33, changed the temp time and marked Sleep Deprived.

So, we were out running errands and such this morning, we get home around 1:15 and it's OPK time. I pee on it, sit it on the counter, go into the bedroom, get changed into comfies for the game... basically forget about it.

I come back and this is what I find:

Bit early for that wouldn't ya say?

I've since done my 6pm OPK and this is where we stand now...

Um... so, tomorrow is gonna be one loaded temp!! Will it be low? Will it be high? Will it be a temp spike?

I think the time change messed everyone up today. LOL. I marked mine sleep deprived today too because of the temp change. I am hoping tomorrow I will be back on track.

I am jealous of your positive opk. I thought I was going to have an early one but I think the Clomid was what made mine look like it was almost positive. I am so happy that you have a positive though. It would be nice if you could ovulate early!

Coley · #10 November 1st, 2009, 03:51 PM

That would be nice...

I just hope it doesn't screw with my appt on Tuesday. I mean, I probably shouldn't BD the night before my appt out of courtesy for the NP doing my annual... right? But... if I'm getting a + OPK today... I don't wanna NOT BD tomorrow!!

HELP ME!!

You need to stop worrying about that. Take a shower and everything will be fine. They aren't going to know whether or not you were doing something and even if they did, who cares. They know you are trying to make a baby. I think you are worrying way too much about things that don't need to be worried about.

If you have a positive opk you need to be getting busy! You should have plenty of time to clean up before your appt.

Coley · #12 November 1st, 2009, 04:15 PM

Right on. I guess I think I needed to hear someone else tell me that I was making an issue out of a non issue.

Thanks Patty!

You need to go read my post on the Medical Assistance board. I was having a melt down about dh not coming with me to my appt. I was doing the exact same thing making an issue out of a non issue. I think we are both just nervous and worrying too much.

(((HUGS)))

Coley · #14 November 1st, 2009, 05:04 PM

LOL! I see what you mean.

I'm feelin' pretty chill right now.

I was just about to say isn't that the pot calling the kettle black.

Nikki, I agree with Patty though. Don't worry about that. As long as you take a shower before you go you are fine. Of course I won't lie I do spend a little extra time in the shower before my annuals but it's not like they are sticking their head down there. I think they do their best to keep their eyes on you and be as quick as possible so try not to worry. Maybe they should start giving out gas like they do before dental work? That'd do the trick right?

Nikki has enough problems with gas that I don't think they should be giving her any. LMBO. Sorry I couldn't help myself. I am over here about to pee on myself laughing because I think I am so funny tonight.

Hee hee hee. Okay kick me out of the thread now.

Tammyms · #17 November 1st, 2009, 06:23 PM

You guys are too cute! And Nikki, if I got a + OPK like that there's no way my consideration for a doctor would come before bd'ing and possibly getting pg! I'm hoping with everything I have that your temps do just what you want them to in the next couple days

Coley · #18 November 2nd, 2009, 05:24 AM

Today's temp was higher than yesterday's but not high enough to be a temp shift.
Most months my temp shoots right up the day after a + OPK. I've only had like 2 months out of the past 8 where a few days elapsed first. So... I'm curious to see what this afternoon's OPK is gonna be.

I'm with you guys... I'm not gonna worry about the doctor. Especially considering my temp hasn't spiked yet. My appt. isn't until 10:45... so if we BD tonight, after 8 hours of sleep and a shower, I'm sure you're right... there won't be anything left to be worried about.

I always tend to spend a bit more time on grooming before an OB appt anyway too... so I'm sure it will all be fine.

CandaceDianne · #19 November 2nd, 2009, 05:27 AM

I am sure you will be fine as well!

I think you DID O or you will today or even tomorrow.

Coley · #20 November 2nd, 2009, 06:49 AM

I don't think I've O'd yet, my temp isn't up high enough... I've still got loads of ewcm too.. so I think either today or tomorrow.

I remember feeling a few sharp pains on my right side on CD 11 after I took my OPK and saw that my cm was looking better... now I'm feeling a slight dull pain on my left side.

I have to take the car down the road to get the back tire replaced... The appointment is for 10:30. I'll probably do an OPK when I get back. I'm curious to see what that has to say...
