Thin Cysters TTC - Part 20

kdwg8r · 05-01-2008, 03:12 PM

Here you go. I can't believe we're on our 20th thread!

Rose28 · 05-01-2008, 03:28 PM

Tummy - I felt one-sided pain for the first couple weeks of my pregnancy, almost like a pinching dull pain, it turned out to be the embryo digging into the lining. It really sucks that you have to wait until May 9th, hang in there!

Tummy · 05-01-2008, 03:43 PM

KDW -- thanks for the new thread!

Rose -- oh, I HOPE that's all this is... yep, I'm going to be fearing everything for another week and a day! Thanks for the reassurance.

TXan · 05-01-2008, 03:51 PM

Wow - only yesterday it seems I joined in on thread 17...

Nothing new around here. Been very non-productive today. Had a great 2 hour lunch, and of course am scouring this board for new posts. I'd be such a goner if anyone actively monitored my computer activity...

sheepiegirl · 05-01-2008, 04:00 PM

Whitney--I agree with Rose...there are going to be LOTS of little aches and pains that you have no idea if they are normal or not, but being pg brings out all sorts of weird pangs and pains. I know at some point fairly early on (I don't think as early as you) I had some pain on my right ovary area. I think it was just a cyst and went away after a while. I've heard it's actually a good thing to have a cyst while pg.

stef28 · 05-01-2008, 05:18 PM

You guys are cracking me up with all your lovely sayings! But seriously I think they next time sometime tells me just relax (which I hear that pretty much on a weekly basis) I'm going to give the Laura saying about someone paralyzed in a wheelchair.........I bet that will shut them up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Deb-Hopefully the higher dosage does the trick!

Tummy-Lets hope it is just the little booger(s) sticking in the lining and getting comfortable!

Another NEGATIVE OPK. DH is so funny b/c last night I was like "I can't believe I haven't gotten a clear + on these stupid OPK's" His response was "You're making crap up so we don't have to have sex tonight b/c I saw two lines on one in the trash can." So of course then I had to explain that both lines have to be equally dark to be considered +. He said "Oh crap I didn't know it got all complicated like that!"

stacey88 · 05-01-2008, 05:56 PM

marking my spot ladies.

stef LOL at your DH. thats very funny.

the best one i have for people responses is when people that have NO IDEA about what people can actually go through and what "disorders" you can have that can affect your fertility say
" why dont you go to a dr, maybe there is something wrong with you"?

???????
like really.we all practicly take up permanent residence at our doctors.like they need to charge us board or something for some parts in our cycles.

anyway, i'm off to have my 2nd glucose tollerance test today.my tummy is grumbling and i feel unwell...i hope it doesnt make me sick this time.

aufachse405 · 05-01-2008, 06:04 PM

Whitney, Id bet money you have a cyst. Its totally normal to have one during your first trimester. Its a corpus luteam cyst. Most people don't even feel them. Mine was grape sized and it hurt like crazy!!

deb1211 · 05-01-2008, 06:19 PM

Whitney - I agree that I experienced some aches and had myself paranoid about ectopic too, especially since I had a non-doubling beta the 2nd time..so I think it's pretty typical and hopefully all is well

heartcore · 05-01-2008, 06:46 PM

marking my spot, I too cannot believe this is the 20th thread.

I'm so anxious about my appt on Monday!

relka · 05-01-2008, 09:58 PM

keo- i get up so much earlier with the change in weather too, but right now i love it b/c it improves my mood. my DH was always so angry when he heard the beeping, but sometimes when he was really tracking my cycle with me he'd wake up and ask me what my temps was.

refrain- no problem, chime away. i think some IF comments strike a chord with all of us. wow, your babies will be here soon.

laura0621- bubble baths, puppies and rainbows. LOL, sure if that was all it took i'd bottle it and sell it. we'll have to come up with a complete list of quick replies to people when they give stupid IF advice.

springtime- oh that would be wonderful for you to be able to support couples dealing with IF. you'd have such great perspective.

pikachu- charting is not for everyone. it really can be a hassle and you have to be committed or else it just doesn't work. i used the OV watch and i did not temp regularly that month. what i did do to confirm O was to start temping on Fertile Day 1. i was able to see the temp rise even with just a few days. the second time i used the OV watch i did not see a temp rise and knew i didn't O.

txan- my RE pretty much told me that if he couldn't stim me safely with injectables then IVF would be my next option. i think it makes sense that you are doing IVF now. i hope the 3rd time will get you your BFP.

laura32- i've never seen that commercial, but it sounds hilarious. yeast infections are no fun. i have found that when i get them it is usually right before my period. i think it has to do with the hormones.

tummy- it must be nice to have a doc in the house. i hope the pain passes. i really just want you to have your 1st u/s so you can really celebrate your BFP!

kdwg- how are you? thanks for the new thread.

stef- LOL! your DH's comment cracked me up. i hope you get a positive on that OPK soon.

stacey- i thought about moving into my RE's office. i was there more days in one week than i was at work.

hi doolin, heartcore, anyone i missed and all the preggo cysters that are visting!

deb1211 · 05-01-2008, 10:35 PM

Heartcore - I hope you have a great appt on Monday!!

relka · 05-01-2008, 10:52 PM

hi deb- 98.3 that's pretty good. maybe you O'd yesterday. how are you?

deb1211 · 05-01-2008, 10:57 PM

I'm doing okay..how are you? I'm just anxious to see tomorrow's temp

pikachu · 05-02-2008, 12:08 AM

Relka - That's a great temping idea with the OV watch. I will definitely try that method next month, or maybe this month if I get frustrated sooner!

What do you think happened the month your OV watch picked up a fertile signal, but you didn't O? I ask because for myself, I'm scared I will be able to grow follicles, and will be on the path to an O (i.e. the watch will pick up the spike in chloride), but then my body won't know how. Obviously, there is nothing scientific about my thinking... but I haven't had a natural period in about 10 years, and I don't know if I've ever ovulated in my life... so I don't trust my body will know what to do! I wish I could get a trigger shot...

Deb - I can't wait see your temp's over the next couple of days too... it's looking so promising! Did you have any side effects from the higher dose of clomid? I've only done 3 days at 50mg, but I feel nothing - probably because my dose is so low though.
