to everyone this cycle!

AFM arrived today a day early.

Positive OPK today!!! I have been charting my symptoms and CM for and every app/site always put my O day around CD 16 or 17. THis is my first time using OPKs. I usually take them around 2pm and they have all been negative until today. I am really surprised to see it positive this early (CD 13).

DH and I have been BDing every other day since CD 9 and plan to continue through next week (CD 17) just to make sure we cover all the possible days. His schedule got changed so he will be home all this next week! :)

So the trip to the fertility specialist gynae gave some interesting results- my ovaries and uterus look fine and I will ovulate in 2 days (no need for OPKs this month :) ). However my colon looks a bit dodgy and so now I have a referral to a gastro specialist to see if I have Celiac Disease. If I do I am so, so, so glad it was diagnosed before pregnancy as from reading up on it it can cause miscarriage and still birth if undiagnosed. This might be what's caused me to not conceive, so- gluten free diet from now on and a trip to the gastro specialist on Wednesday.
I also have to have bloods taken to look at hormone levels on Thursday 20th and then another consultation on 23rd to discuss the blood test results. This will make the 2WW a lot easier as the doctor will be able to tell me on the 23rd if I am pregnant or not (AF is due 26th)
DH is off to the sperm doctor later but as I'm in my fertile period he is under strict instructions to save his swimmers for BD-ing as they can always test him next week.
At the hospital the nurse who was making these follow up appointments for us (me for gastro, him for sperm doctor) managed to get our paperwork mixed up so I initially ended up with a sperm doctor appointment!

Hello girls! How is everyone doing.
I am ok just bored on a night shift. I am
Trying to temp this cycle but it's so hard my temps
When I am doing night shifts are always high.
Yesterday I took them and they were 98.02 and
That's not pre ov temps for me. I never get consistent
4 hours sleep, I am up to pee all the time. It's hot in
My room during the day. Should I just discard
The temps I do while working nights?

I am so stressing out.. Hubby has ed so I want to bd on the correct days. I been doing opks since cd 9 I am on cd 15. I had a few opks that were close to a + but didn't look nearly as close to the ones I seen last month. And my temps are all over the place. Did I miss it? Did I just not yet? Am I going to ovulate this month? Oh my goodness I'm driving myself nuts!

Holly - yes - just disregard those temps and you should be fine :)

Kelley - you probably did not ovulate yet. I am in the same boat. I keep getting almost positive OPKs and then later that day they are back to negative and that happened for the past 2 days. Don't worry... they will turn completely positive in the next few days. Your body is getting ready to ovulate :)

I am on edge... my insurance changes as of December 1st. and I really hope the new one will cover IUIs and IVFs. The current one is covering 3 IUIs and 2 IVFs but that is all about to change in the next 3 weeks :\
Keep your fingers crossed girls.

@marigie @rerun I don't know now he is nervous and this is so stressful because I don't want to wait he says I'm being selfish I feel like I'm in this alone I'm just praying he gets his head screwed on right now that I have my fertility appointments set up I'm ready and he's not ...praying for his breakthrough I'll still be keeping up with you ladies regardless Still waiting for my rainbow baby

xoxo - so sorry that you DH changed his mind. Hopefully he gets back on track in the next few days

Thanks you basia
