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!

Bumping this up because it is already on the second page!

[towerclimberswife]

Started spotting today... which is good because technically we can burn the bench because I'm two cycles out from MC.

However...

I'm working with a Dr. to do some hormone testing and he wants us to wait until we get results in an effort to prevent another MC if possible due to hormone levels. Sooooo I'm thinking that he is going to ask us to avoid for another cycle. Testing is done post O so no chance of getting results before O this month. Grrrrrr.

I know I didn't follow the format, but it didn't really fit my situation.

Ugh, I have been in that situation and it sucks.  Sorry you have to sit out an extra cycle, but it really is best to get all your info back first in case there is a problem.  ((hugs))

Crazy level from 1-10: 6

Cd/DPO : 11DPO

** possible triger, pregnancy mentioned **

Can I just PT my husband? He does not understand my pain and says have to get over it already. He's been an insensitive jerk. Last night after dinner he came to me to say : " hey, my best friend's wife is pregnant again". When I said I wish he didn't told me that he answered " you cahann't do this. To yourself!!!! " yes, he kind of "Hant" there. He is a wonderful husband, but "Fuck this dude" sometimes!!

I am sorry that your husband is being an asshat.  Hopefully you can make him understand how insensitive he is being.

Boo! Bad husband! We all have our moments where we forget our sensitivity, but not cool for him not understanding how that could hurt you. We're here for you!

I know this is not going to be fun but I really think you need to sit down with your husband and have a talk with him. Nobody, especially your spouse, should dictate your grief. 

Just because he is not hurting from  your loss in the same way as you does not give him the right to tell you to get over it and to try to make you feel bad.  It's basic human decency to listen to someone when they say something hurts them, not give them shit over it, and to support them when they say something causes them pain. 

I would suggest writing out your feelings first.

EmeraldEyes85 - I hope your bleeding stop soon.

towerclimberswife - TTA stinks, but I agree with mlal78. It will be better to make sure all is well before starting again. ((hugs))


Punching my ticket today.

Crazy level from 1-10: 7

CD/DPO: 29/11

Can I just ______ already?!: know

Signs/Symptoms: ongoing gastric issues, spotting last night

Explain your Crazy here: I've pretty much decided my stomach problems are more likely related to the new prenatals I'm taking than any hormone changes. I'm going to switch prenatal today and see if that makes a difference, because I am really tired of having the runs. I also had a tiny amount of brown spotting last night before I went to bed. No sex lately so it's not from my cervix, and while I'd love to believe it's IB, I know for me it most likely means AF is going to be here in a couple of days. I'm just feeling really bummed and disappointed. This is the best I've felt since before the mc health-wise and the most optimistic I've been about a cycle since May.

Glad you are feeling good lately! Fx'ed that your bleeding is IB. Gotta stay a little optimistic right? I find taking my prenatals at night helps my stomach. Not sure when you take yours, but that might help.

ETA: grammar

I'm sorry love.  It sucks when that optimism sneaks in.  Hopefully you can get your prenatals sorted out so that you feel better.  The runs are never fun.

Hjjn

[fionnathehuman]

Ok, sorry about that "hjjn". That was an error or something...

Thank you therealbug, heartbot, towerclimberswife. I am going to follow your advice and write everything down...

[mrsk91011]

fionnathehuman - What heartbot and therealbug said. ((hugs))

EmeraldEyes85 - hope the bleeding stops soon!

towerclimberswife - sorry you have to TTA another cycle, but it's better to be safe than sorry

heartbot - I have Fingers and everything else crossed for you. Hope the blood is just from IB. And I second the recommendation to take prenatals at night. I take all my vitamins at night because of that.



Crazy level from 1-10: 5

CD/DPO: 27/11-ish

Can I just ______ already?!: Know

Signs/Symptoms: Nausea, sore boobs, abdominal discomfort

Explain your Crazy here: I'm being treated for a UTI, which explains the abdominal discomfort. My doc looked at me funny when I handed him a list of my vitamins and symptoms. They squeezed me in quick this morning so I wanted to make sure I got everything in...but it led to the "are you KU?" question. Can't be mad at him, he is a doctor and needs to ask such questions, especially when presented with a medication list including prenatals and folic acid supplements. So really, I'm done wasting pee sticks because I've been testing too early and just want the weekend to get here. Or AF, which ever gets here first.

eta: words are hard

Sorry for the UTI.  Did he give you a pg safe antibiotic just in case?

[mrsoscarfelix]

Just jumping in with a quick OPK question!! As I have royally sucked at getting back to temping. I am half-assing it as well,because seeing the constant fluctuating temps like after my last mc is driving me nuts! I have been using OPKs, just to see if my body is going to ovulate this cycle since it is the first cycle after mc.

Soo.. I use wondfo OPK's and normally I can always see a decent line, even if it is negative. This time around I am barely getting a line at ALL! Could it just be this batch of wondfo's? Not really sure what to think.. Any advice would be great!

& can I just say TTA blows.

It could possibly be a bad batch.  I normally see some sort of a line at all times on opks too.  I believe you can look up the batch number to see if it is part of a bad batch.

[mrsk91011]

mlal78 - I asked specifically for something safe for pregnancy. He put me on Cipro with is a Catergory C medication during pregnancy and according to the FDA it is the antibiotic of choice for asymptomatic pregnant women who have been exposed to anthrax.

[pantaloons55]

Ok... as per a previous poster, its my first time at this, so please be gentle!

Crazy level from 1-10: Around a 6.

CD/DPO: CD 18 ish? It's technically not a cycle. Its post-mc limbo.

Can I just ______ already?!: Can I just start my period already? I know its at least 10 days (at minimum) away, but I'm just really unsure of where I'm at and it frustrates me. I've been tracking cycles for over a year (to get a baseline before ttc) so I started tracking post-mc just to monitor symptoms, spotting, any weirdness, etc more than anything. That said, b/c it was natural early mc, no complications that we know of, the Dr said no need to wait on trying again. So while we haven't been actively trying, we haven't really tta either.

Signs/Symptoms: So given the above, I'm additionally crazy because I've been a little crampy and loose for the last week. But that's it. I have digestive issues, so its very likely celiac/ibs inflammation flaring up.

Explain your Crazy here: Its just that little bit of hope always popping up that is making me nuts. I know that's a good thing (I'm not without hope, check, good) but I read into the cramping (it is in all honestly a similar feeling as last time, but not as intense)but its likely nothing. I know when AF does eventually show up, in some little way, I'm going to be so sad -- even though I know that's stupid and very likely going to happen. I feel like I've processed the initial grief. I still have moments, of course, but overall I'm holding up fine day-to-day besides the bit of a grey cloud. I'm glad I took the time off work that week. I think I'm worried that I'm in some kind of denial.

[firefly143]

Level of crazy: 7
Cd/Dpo: 36/10
Signs/symptoms: sore boobs

Not feeling very optimistic about this cycle. My boobs get sore before my period too. My last cycle was 40 days so I guess this is where this one is headed but at least I got my first confirmed O with FF.

[firefly143]

heartbot I quit temping after my confirmed O popped up. MH and I decided it was making me crazier.

I am glad that you are charting your temps, that makes it so much easier to see what is going on post loss.  Your cycle may not jump straight back to normal, so you could potentially be waiting longer for AF, though I hope that is not the case for you.

The first AF after a loss always is a hard one, it brings everything back.

Hi Ladies! Jumping on board this morning.

Crazy level from 1-10: 8++ / 9

CD/DPO: 29/9

Can I just ______ already?!: POAS

Signs/Symptoms: none

Explain your Crazy here:
9DPO and really trying not to get my hopes up this time. This was our last cycle of actively TTC with opk's and the works. If I get a BFN then we will not be using opk's and monitors anymore, but doing the ol' NTNP way. I am allowing myself to test this Saturday at 12DPO, but I am already itching to POAS. Someone bring me a kitty as a distraction please!!!
