Looking for Calgarian or Albertan cysters Winter/Spring 2008 - Page 7

Shejayd · 03-29-2008, 02:13 AM

So i think that i am ovulating early, but then again, maybe not. I base it all on symptoms, last month i assume it was btn CD 10-14, but then again i never got a bfp and had the WORST af i have had in over a year also my first natural AF in a year (Mar-may 07 clomid, pg June, m/c June, No AF July, Aug pg in Aug, m/c in Sept and then bcps for 6 months) Crazy... Anyhow. I think i may have ovulated a couple of days ago based on CM. ARG!! Confusing... I am mostly trying not to think about it. There are a lot more things going on right now. I quit my job, ever since it came outta recievership they have been treating the employees like crap, and not honouring benifits, plus my boss was getting to be a hard ass (due to the company riding her) so my last day is Saturday, and i have an interview (hehe at the love boutique) on Monday, so hopefully from one job to the next.

Mel- I am sorry that yout HSG was so painfull, i don't remember mine being that painful, but i remember crying in pain, and having realllllly bad cramps for 2 days.

I want to know more about this B vitamin thing, i was diagnosed with a LP defect last year, but they werent really too sure as to if thats what it was or not. My average day from O to AF was 9 days, but i did manage to get pregnant 4 times in 07, so i have no idea...Could be the whole reason of the early m/c's eh?

Dimples- Tell me more about this clinic at Sunridge? Did you need to be refered? Do you live near there? I live in marlborough, and would love to have a doctor that knew what they were doing (i have dr pellitier and hes a knob).

Violet- I hope you get in sooner then later. my wait was 2 months, but as i said before i was refered to the recurrent loss section and not the main clinic (same office same doctors different name).

TTYL LADIES, supper is ready

Hi Shejayd,

The clinic is called NE Womens Clinic, here is the website: http://www.newomensclinic.com/ I don't live near there, I actually live in the NW. You don't need a referral. I see Dr. Sawatsky. She's really nice. The doctors there are not family doctors, they specialize in womens needs. They book up really fast. Call on Monday, they probably won't have anything available until late next week or even the week after.

Anyway, I got my AF today after a long cycle (68 days)!!! I start my first cycle of clomid on Wednesday. I'm praying that it'll work. My mom and aunt got pregnant on clomid, so I'm hoping it'll work for me as well. I know it may take a few months. I have my basal thermometer and ovulation test strips ready to go! I even bought a bottle of Robitussin to start taking after the I last day of taking clomid to help increase and thin out the CM. I am ready! Am I sounding crazy and obsessed over this!?! Even though I'm all prepared, I don't think I stressing over it too much. I'll keep you all updated!

Dimples: You are sooo not crazy. You're prepared. I wish I'd known all the tricks when I did my first round of clomid. Basically until I joined sc I knew nothing. NOTHING! I didn't even know about soy. The good thing is that I never spent a ton of money on all kinds of different things to then find out IVF was our only option. I hope it works for you. What dose of clomid?

DimplesRN · 03-31-2008, 01:35 AM

I'm starting at 50mg.

Well I bit the bullet and bought a B50 complex vitamin. I was going to just buy a B6 vitamin, but where I know I don't get all the vitamins I need, I figured more couldn't hurt. I even got my DH to take on last night as he could use more vitamins in his system too. The funniest thing was how neon yellow my urine was when I went to the bathroom the first night. I couldn't stop talking about it and finally DH understood why. Thank goodness it doesn't hurt the body.

So, that is one thing I am doing on my own before the IFC appointment whenever that will be. Hopefully my next LP length will be a bit longer. Now I just have to figure out a way to get my temperatures up since they are so low and I have a feeling that is one of the reasons why I have never been PG. Kind of discouraging when the acupuncturist said last week that I wouldn't be PG because my temps are too low. I hope she can help me out with that.

weemes · 03-31-2008, 02:54 PM

Violet- I really hope the Bcomplex helps you too. IMO when it's a vitamin it can't hurt. My DH takes 15 a day that are suppose to help with his sperm production and he doens't complain. I take 19 pills a day, 4 of which are met and 2 of which are cinnamon. But otherwise the rest are all vitamins. Although- my pee isn't neon, when I was taking the GNC women's mega it was and I'd make jokes that it was radioactive. I think the Materna ones have way less in them.

I'm not sure how to get your temps up, did look it up on Wikipedia? Sometimes I find a load of helpful information on that site. Don't let the acupuncturist get you down. Although I'm sure she knows a lot about holistic medicine, she's not a specialist. ((hugs))

Shejayd · 03-31-2008, 03:17 PM

So Cotton Ginny sucked me in, and i am still working there, lol. My manager quit, so I am the closest thing they have to manager right now, lol. However, i got the other job (ill know officially tomorrow morning but she said she wants me in on thursday) So, i am working 2 jobs now....never done that before.

Dimples- Thank you, i will definatly book an appointment.

weemes · 03-31-2008, 06:01 PM

Sheena: Where is the new job?

Shejayd · 03-31-2008, 06:04 PM

Mel- Its called "The Love Boutique", its a ""Classy"" sex shop in marlborough

weemes · 03-31-2008, 06:34 PM

Sheena: Do you think you can work both? Or do you plan to make a choice?

Shejayd · 03-31-2008, 10:03 PM

I plan on doing both, but the boutique is only 15 hrs a week, so it wouldnt been hard, my conditions to the district manager at cotton ginny were that i was going to work part time, so if i figure it out right, it would be apx 40hrs a week anyway. 3 days a week at the Boutique and 2 days a week at cg.

Shejayd · 04-03-2008, 11:42 PM

Dimples- I booked an appointment with the NE clinic today for Monday. Its funny, my gf had her 6 wk check-up today and i had no idea thats where we were going, low an behold, so i made the appointment. It seems nice there, I like that their furniture is patio and kitchen furniture, lol. My gf seemed to really like the doctor there, so that makes me feel better about going there.

Jade_Love · 04-03-2008, 11:50 PM
