=====Tuesday Crazy Train=====

[therealbug]

All aboard! This conductor is having a procedure this a.m. so thank you to everyone who helps out today!


Feel free to chime in, offer hugs, give your interpretation of a chart stalk and share your knowledge!

This is a thread posted daily for any of us who need to get out our frustrations about waiting to O, the 2WW, or vent about our cycles.

If you find yourself checking FF obsessively, MF is getting the best of you, or you just want to pee on all things, let it out here! In order for the conductors to be better able to help you, please make sure you either have a FF chart link in your sig, or make sure you post a link.

Don't chart? You should consider it, not only will it give you a lot more insight to your cycles, but conductors will be able to answer a lot of your questions just by looking at your chart!

To learn more about charting, check out the charting course that FF offers:http://www.fertilityfriend.com/courses/

The CT is not the place to post a BFP. If you have a "squinter" or if you have a line that appeared after the time frame, please do not post about it here. Take a step back from the board, test again with FMU, and good luck!

Don't forget to punch your ticket and complete the questions below!

good luck with your procedure today therealbug !

[mellymel15]

Thinking of you, therealbug!

Crazy level from 1-10: 8

CD/DPO: CD21/DPO5 (I think)

Can I just ______ already?!: Take a freakin' HPT!

Signs/Symptoms: Slightly sore breasts, some moodiness, but not much else.

Explain your Crazy here: In the dreaded 2WW. Just wanted to vent a little. Not charting or anything yet. This is our second month jumping back into the TTC game post D&C, so I'm just paying attention to what my body does right now (I cramp a little on my left side during ovulation time).

Keep yourself distracted during this time.  Good luck!

Thanks, grneyes and powerofbacon. As you both well know, it's just maddening! DH and I are heading out of town this weekend, so I'm hoping that'll keep my mind off things.

[mellymel15]

heartbot, Yeah, I know it's pretty early to be experiencing much in the way of symptoms. Maybe I'm just moody, period. Haha .

My cycle for getting AF has been, on average, 29 days. I may wait Jan. 31 to test… if AF doesn't rear her ugly head sooner and I can hold off that long!

Crazy level from 1-10: 4...ok, let's be real - 7

CD/DPO: 20/7

Can I just ______ already?!: stop obsessing

Signs/Symptoms: dull, AF-like cramps and backache

Explain your Crazy here: I have been doing the same as you, powerofbacon...or at least trying. I keep telling myself that it's going to be a BFN so don't get my hopes up. I was SO SURE last month, which coincided with Xmas with my whole family there. I really wanted that magical BFP which would make everything better and happy holidays and ho ho ho...I was even having my family look at my squinters (false negs and evap lines abound!) Instead my bro and SIL announced their pregnancy. Happy for them, not so much for us.
Going in for my 7dpo P blood draw today, so that's something.

hi! I've officially made my way over here.

crazy level: 7

cd/dpo: 40/9 (yes i FINALLY Oed!)

can i just: stop

signs/symptoms: sore boobs and headache.

my crazy: I am trying to hold in my crazy so I am not crushed with a bfn. This is my first 2ww since my mc and I'm trying to be realistic that it probably won't happen right away.

Okay, I'm jumping in here too. I told myself that I was just going to stay calm this month and try to go with the flow. Nope, didn't happen.

Crazy level from 1-10: I'll say a 7. Yesterday, like a 9.

CD/DPO: 19/5

Can I just ______ already?!: Get to Sunday already?!

Signs/Symptoms: I don't know how to explain it, but just a tight feeling? Like, not cramps, but just an overall odd feeling. There, odd feeling, that is the official title.

Explain your Crazy here: This is the first cycle off the bench, and really only the second cycle since my mc that we've been able to try (I temped while still being on the bench if you look at my chart below). I told myself I was just going to try not to get crazy about it, and I was honestly great, until I got CHs on FF. Then, it all went to hell in a handbasket. I'm testing on Sunday because, well, I have beerfest tickets.

Chart link: www.fertilityfriend.com/home/454fea - there are a lot of open circles, because I'm not quite up to the idea of getting up at the same time every single day.

Yeah, it's really tough waiting until you can test.  FX for you too!  I just set my alarm on my phone for the same time every day then go back to sleep afterwards.  If you  have no issues with seeing your shift, then it doesn't really matter so much about the time.  I would add your cm to your chart to help FF better decipher though.

Hey there! If you can, I would add your chart link to your siggy so we can stalk you. It's tough for the first few cycles after the mc (at least it was for me). Hang in there!

It's tough with the holidays when coming to the end of a cycle, especially having to hear another pregnancy announcement (((hugs))).  Not too much longer until you can test, good luck!!

Are they just checking P even though you're on sups to make sure it's high enough?

[craftykix]

thanks grneyes will do. phone is being tricky

[pickles4prez]

grneyes I had a Novarel trigger shot + 100mg Prometrium nightly this cycle. I asked my doc if we could do the blood draw to see how much those affect my levels, she agreed to it. I'm still spotting during my luteal phase, hopefully because the suppositories are irritating my cervix.
---rereading my doctor's note----
Omg. I just realized the notes she gave me say 200mg Prometrium but the bottle of my suppositories says 100mg, take one nightly. Was there miscommunication between my pharmacy and my doc, should I have been taking the suppositories in the AM and PM?

BRB - calling my doc ><

Ah, I see.  I know a lot of ladies take it AM & PM. Definitely clarify!

[craftykix]

heartbot I an going to try to wait it out as long as I can stand it. The squinters drive me mad, and DH has work travel and I would rather not be home alone and get a bfn. We will see how my patience does. What about you?
