New Updates

Thought I would start a new update thread. Hope you don't mind.

Soooo, had my doctors appointment to see how my blood work is, of course everything came back, she said overies are looking good, hormones look great, thyriod looks great. Blood pressure unfortunatly is VERY high about 150/100 so I'm back on medication to get that down. She is sending me to a specialist though because she would like to put me on clomid. I think thats for the best. I tried talking to her about charting and that I'm pretty sure I ovulated and she just talked over me like I hadnt mentioned it. Here I thought this was a good thing!! ??

Oh well then she proceeds to tell me that dh and I need to concentrate all our bd around ovulation to increase the chances of me getting pergnant... im thinking duh...really...*rolls eyes* Oh well. Specialist here I come.

On the other hand I still havent seen aunt flow... Temps are high, think 11 dpo, waiting waiting waiting... maybe maybe maybe.

I can't stop crying. My brother in-law called the other night, said they just found out that they are expecting shes 11 weeks along... not planned, werent trying, unexpected. I'm happy for them, but i'm miserable. CRY CRY CRY!!! So I'm trying to get out of pity party mode and concentrate on life with husband and I.

I hope the rest of you are feeling well, trying hard, having fun. Throwing some baby dust to you all, and wishing you guys lots of luck

Lets try to get a stream of BFP!!!!

Taryn,

My RE did that too when I mentioned charting. She said I don't need to chart and that charting just makes things more tense. I still charted anyway just so I could pinpoint my ovulation and get the BD timing down.

Sorry you had to get one of those dreaded phone calls of yet another couple that is pg without trying.

Good luck with the clomid. They will give you a list of possible symptoms you could have while taking it, you may get some of them or none of them. I found my symptoms got more and more noiticable with each cycle. My vision was affected (sensitive to light and there would be a trail when I watched my hand go in front of my face) I was a little nauseated once in a while, and little to no ewcm during O time. I can't remember anything else. Oh yeah I just didn't feel like myself. All worth it if you happen to get PG though!

Best of luck to you Taryn

Hi Holly,

Thank you so much for the input. I'm not on it yet, she wants to check with the gyno first. Regardless I like the charting it tells me way more then if I didnt do it.

The dreaded call, OMG my husband didnt really tell me in the greatest way, while he was on the phone babbling and congradulation his brother I was like what what what, he makes the action of a round belly. I stopped instantly what I was doing and went to the bedroom bawled my head off. It isnt that I'm not happy for them, never that I'm thrilled for them. It unfortunatly doesnt ease the ache within my own heart. They just got married in July, so they are newly wed, and when they told us, it was like she didnt even know she was pregnant... come on shes 11 weeks, thats quite aways along; I guess thats my prospective. Everyone does things for a reason, maybe they held back telling because they knew we were trying so hard and didnt want to hurt my feelings or what not. I am happy for them... Honest I am. I keep hearing Taryn just be happy for them practice on their kids, learn to be the best favorite Aunty you can be so that when you have kids, you can be the best mommy. I get it... but it still hurts.. you know???

LOL I'm just ranting. My apologies!!

Off to work... take care and be safe.

Taryn

Oh Taryn I think a lot of us that have a hard time TTC can relate to what your feelings are right now. When I was TTC Alaynah I had 4 friends or family members pg at the same time and were due around the same time. I think I knew about all of them within a 3 week period. It is hard, and like you said it is not like you are not happy for them, but wonder when it is going to be your turn. BIG HUGS
I hope that you will be able to start clomid soon, and it does the trick for you. That is IF YOU ARE NOT PG ALREADY!

Hey where is your chart? I wanted to see how it ws doing?

As for me I am just trying to get over the last few days of

at my house. She has been uterally wicked to me this time around though.

So much pain!! I also had my blood drawn to see what my thyrod levels are. Hoping after uping my dose twice in a two month period that it will finally be in normal range, and hoping that will get me to shorten my cycle. Though who knows. That just might be a dream that will never come true for me.
The waiting begins...

Dearest Jodi,

I hope that your Thyroid is doing what it should be on the medication. My blood work just came all back normal even thryroid but Im not too sure about my doctor.

Yeah, I'm okay with them having a baby now. It is what it is, and I wish them all the happiness in the world. She is a older lady but I know when you are older then 30+ I've read its harder to concieve. So I'm sure she felt her clock was ticking and I'm glad it happend to her. If it was delayed for a few more years before they strarted thinking about it maybe she might not have been able to. who knows right? so I am thrilled it happend for them. and my heart it will be okay Ill be a great Aunty and I can love that baby as though it were my own.

My chart, whoops, I notice I detached on those other posts. Here is is. i'm 12dpo!! temps are still high, can't seem to find a 7 day test anywhere. soooo I think I will test if aunt flo doesnt come either this weekend or next week sometimes. I'm sooo scared to be disappointed. I guess we'll see what happens.

As for clomid it would be good, but it could be awhile before that actually happens as my doctor is getting a referal from a gynocologist. Its a waiting game. I mean I think the whole concept of clomid is great, but I've already got a high risk of having multiple and clomid increases those chances again... we'll have to see what happens though.

Catch you later

Taryn.

Your temps are looking great taryn. Hoping this is it for you!
As for the clomid and twins, from what I heard it is only a 10% increase. So I'd go for it and do not worry abut the twin thing. Besides if you have twins you have ywins. I am sure you will be fine.

LOL thanks Jodi. yeah I'm not too worried about the whole twin thing.

It is just something i've given as a passing considerationg. MAYBE though this is my month!!!! My temp went higher today, but I'm ill so I've discarded it well because I'm not myself. My throut is on fire, and I believe I'm running a bit of a temp.

I'm trying to hold off testing, can't seem to find a test called 7 day. Which I've been told is the most sensitive. FF says the 25 should be test day if Aunt Flo doesnt show up. BUT OMG thats like another week away. I feel as though I'm going nuts.

Any suggestions???
