Does anyone else feel like a crazy person???!!!
I think I might be pregnant ....I'm probably not ....could be, I'm late and crampy ....or maybe I ovulated later than I thought ...My breast feels sore, I gotta be pregnant ...maybe it's sore from me poking at it to see if it's sore. LOL! Anyone else mentally wrestling yourself ?!

Temp went back up today but I'm thinking I'm likely out. I'll test tomorrow morning but I'm not having any symptoms. Nada, Zip, Zilch for 10dpo. Still confused by the 5dpo spotting. We hadnt had sex since 3dpo so I know it wasnt from being too rough. All I can think is I may be having some progesterone issues.

it's still only a little spotting but I'm sure it's just the progesterone holding off the full flow. I tested this morning...13dpo...possible wondfo shadow thingy. I'll test again tomorrow AM but if bfn, I'll stop the progesterone. Wanted to wait til 14dpo before stopping it since only a little spotting.
I'm exhausted! I hope everyone had a good extended weekend. My sciatica is all flared up from playing kickball today so I'm looking forward to getting off my feet. Goodnight world....

Sorry to hear about the spotting @waiting!
So I had my dr. Apt today and the only thing that came back is that I'm heterozygous mthfr. He didn't say which one. As my homocysteine levels came back normal, all he wants me to do is take 800 micrograms of Folic acid and on my next pregnancy up that to 1600. Been doing research online and it seems like most doctors don't consider heterozygous mthfr to be an issue at all. I'm just worried about trying again and losing another baby. :(

Oh boy here we go....
I'm mthfr heterozygous and trust me....it is a big deal. All doctors' views of this mutation is different but they refuse to look into it further. However, specialists who study mthfr for a living, do believe it causes miscarriages/chemical pregnancies cause it affects implantation as well as can cause blood clots that will 'choke off' the growing baby.
Visit mthfr.net. Dr Ben founded the website and he's one of the head researchers/doctors.
Every one who specializes in mthfr will agree that you SHOULD NOT take folic acid. Folic acid found in folgard and prenatals is unable to breakdown in someone with mthfr. It's like adding elmer's glue to the gears of clock. And adding more folic acid will just jam it up more. It's recommended to take Methylfolate. It's the most broken down form of folic acid and is the only one we can easily and healthily process. Most doctors will allow a prescription called Metanx also called Foltanx. It's methylfolate and includes bioactive (broken down) vitamin B6 and B12. Also recommended is Neevo-DHA. It's a prenatal with methylfolate instead of folic acid.
You should also be taking a baby aspirin every day. It safely thins your blood to prevent clotting (this is also the most prescribed treatment for mthfr).
Please dont listen to the doctors that say it's no big deal. It is. Doctor's brush it aside based on old research that wasnt even fully done right according to the perinatalogist I talked to.
I have done so much research into this that I should teach classes lol.

Dr. Rawlins is a specialist and he breaks it down very understandably in the 4 videos on youtube. The link above is video 1 of 4. Please dont take it lightly. If you have any questions let me know :)
