Officially a YEAR ttc

2/15/19: bbt dropped today big time. My head is killing me and I’m exhausted. Got my usual af pimples. Just waiting on af to show up most likely today if not tomorrow. Lp seems to be the usual length so at least last cycle was a good cycle. Our timing will be much better this cycle though.

2/16/19: AF came today. Hoping to get a message back from doctor on if I can start clomid this cycle for a boost.

2/19/19: Doc said he wouldn’t give me clomid and said I need to see a fertility specialist because one tube is blocked. I know he can and has, but just won’t in my case. So I brought soy isoflavones as a supplement to use in the place of clomid. Was a very emotionally exhausting day. Thought we would get the little statue but nothing but a wasted trip to atl. On the plus side I found the new bbt thermometer and soy isoflavones there. Took 200 mg. Turns out they are expired as of 8/2018 so like 6 months past the date.

2/20/19: No luck yesterday at the health food store finding non expired SI so I’ll just continue what I’m using. I did 160mg today and will do the same tomorrow. Then back up to 200mg the last 2 days I am supposed to take it. So I’ll have my total of 5 days. Went back to charting bbt this morning. Also taking mucinex and my prenatal only this cycle. Mucinex will just be until I ovulate. Going to start going to the gym tomorrow. Got to have something to distract me, plus healthy body means healthy baby. I feel normal on the SI so far.

2/22/19: On my 4th day of SI and feeling fine. Bbt is a lighter almost like post O temps. I’m just a little sleepy using it still. Went to the gym yesterday and that went well. Doc saw me randomly yesterday and wasted my time saying I needed ivf and I already have 2 kids and regular periods so I don’t need clomid. He is a family physician so I was just shooting my shot.

2/27/19: I am cramping so bad today. Thought I’d have a positive opk yesterday, but it just stayed close to positive instead. I drank a ton of water so hopefully that didn’t mess things up. Cd 12 and will keep up with testing. Nipples are sore and I’m getting ovary pain. So maybe positive today.

2/28/19: Still no positive opk, but about a shade or 2 away from getting there. Guess I will be ovulating at my usually cd 15 or 16. Got lucky last cycle ovulating at cd 12 thanks to the dong quai. I’m getting ovary pain like crazy on both side today.

3/4/19: Bd this morning after seeing negative opk at 7am. Then after we bd, I had a positive opk at 10am finally. I am cd 17 which is super later than usual. So glad I’ve been temping. For almost a week now my test are negative in the morning and then they start getting positive later in the afternoon and by the night time they’re completely negative again. It’s like my body keeps gearing up to I’ll be late but won’t do it. My check should be a lot darker today after my first positive but instead they look about a state away from positive since I got my positive this morning. I’m so confused at this point I took dong quai before bed tonight. It’s worth a shot.

3/5/19: took dong quai twice today. Opks stayed negative until 6pm today and then from there went back to negative again. Def was my darkest positive this time. My nipples are sore and I have O pain on both sides. God I need my temp spike so this can all be over.

3/7/19: Looks like darkest opk was last night in the middle of the night because it was very dark before bed and even darker in the morning after like a 6 hour hold. Took all day to get lighter at least. My temp dropped lower than it has been all cycle today so I assume ovulation should be today and we should time bd for sometime in the middle of the night. I’m thinking 1am. Feeling really good about this cycle now.

3/10/19: Officialu for my crosshairs this morning which means I’m 3 dpo. Our timing was really good with our 24/48 and one more bd a few hours after the 48. So far I have been beyond exhausted. No energy drinks help at all. One big thing is we were able to finally get that work done for a boy and protection. I will test in exactly 7 days. That would put me 7 days away from my bday. Great gift I’m hoping to get.

3/13/19: Still exhausted non stop today at 6 dpo. My head is killing me and I have lots of gas. My itch to test is here now so I did an opk which was very light. Just 4 more days to go.If I am pregnant, I do know I had to have implanted today. Had sharp right ovary pain and dull cramps while I had my headache. Now al that pain is gone like it never happened.

3/16/19: I had a bfp yesterday on my dip strip and got so excited. It was dark and showed up within proper time frame. Since then I have only had bfns including the frer I used in the same pee with my bfp. I will just test again tomorrow if my temp goes up. I had af type cramps yesterday and this morning. Feeling a lot better today but sad about my hpt. My cervix is very high and I have lots of creamy cm. Been nauseated the last almost 3 days. So nervous about testing tomorrow morning.
