Blushing: My LP is normally about 11 days. I was experimenting this month with supplements that I don't normally take so I'm trying to throw my normal dates out the window and just see what we get with this one. So far so good. I'm hoping for a temp spike tomorrow.

Bammom, FX for you.

While - hoping its just slow rising and nothing is wrong. Is your doctor planning to do an ultrasound or any other testing besides another blood draw? Not sure what can be done but sending your way.

I know I haven't responded to most of the posts. and and all fingers and toes crossed for everyone entering and in their TWW.

AFM: pretty sure will show tomorrow. Started spotting this afternoon, and although not quite enough to be CD1 today, I guarantee it will be tomorrow. I will be shocked if not. My temp did go back up above the cover line this morning after dropping below it yesterday, but I'm not holding my breath that this is implantation. I didn't test today since I ran out of Wondfos and I don't want to waste another FRER. If AF doesn't actually show tomorrow or my temp doesn't dip again I might test tomorrow, but I will probably wait.

I did enter tomorrow as being my Cd1 here and on FF. FF estimates O right around my birthday next month. So maybe that will be the luck we need to catch the egg!

I saw a few saying their charts aren't working here still. Mine is working now, but I had to go in to the calendar and then click on the chart and it worked. My chart looks awful here, but FF looks better. For now I'll chart on both but I think I might just chart on FF but post here.

Bammom, my RE is 2 hours from us so they fax my lab request to the local hospital and I go to their lab for the draws. Hope that helps.

While, have they suggested an u/s yet to check for ectopic or anything? When my numbers with the last m/c kind of increased very slowly I began researching.... the numbers going up and down was an sign for ectopic, early m/c or vanishing twin... I am still praying. Keep us posted.

PBC, miss you!!!!

Blushing, thank you!

I hope everyone has a great weekend... I am just going to relax I think... we will see if happens like that! Anyways, I have no idea was cycle I am on... somewhere over 34... I am 3 dpo I believe.

Thank you everyone for your encouragement, I really appreciate it. I have only told a couple of very close friends and no family yet, so it's nice to have someplace to talk to. Sorry to be a downer. )-:

Yes, we did talk about an ultrasound. They said at this point (4w4d) it would be too early to see anything on an ultrasound. I did ask about it being tubal (ectopic) and they didn't seem to think it was but that they couldn't see anything now if they tried. I guess vanishing twin is an option, but I think it would be quite a reach. They said to let them know if I start bleeding. I'm about out of home tests, so at least that will give me something to not obsess over.

I'm just feeling depressed. I didn't think we would have two losses. And if this baby isn't viable, I would prefer it not get dragged out, you know?

Ugh.

Bammon - did you decide anything?

Anyone testing soon?

While- I'm just going to wait for Monday and see if the nurse calls me back. If she lets me go in I will let them draw my blood, but if she refuses I'm going to go through labcorp. I had no idea I didn't need dr orders for labs! I'm just praying that tests get darker this weekend. I'm not exactly sure that this pregnancy will progress. I think my boobs are slightly less sore this evening and this mornings temp was one of my lowest at only 97.6. Cover line is at 97.3 so we shall see.......

While, I really hope everything is good and right with your pregnancy. At least the numbers did go up with your last draw. I hope you get answers soon. Maybe they'll do an ultrasound in a week? You should easily be able to see the sac and maybe a yolk sac with a vaginal ultrasound at 5 weeks.

Bammom- Man, why is it so hard for the doctor's office to put in a lab order for you? I hope you find a place to do the test for you. That would be nice if you could do it at labcorp without an order. And, honestly, when the nurse calls, don't ask for a blood test. Tell her you are calling for a lab order for a test. Don't let her say no! I had to be kind of demanding with a nurse early this pregnancy to get extra blood draws. Be nice but firm.

Thanks felurian! That will be good for me to remember. I tend to let medical professionals talk over me and I agree to whatever they say. I won't do it this time

While, i completely understand what you mean. That was the worst part for the last 2... waiting for it be over. Dragging it out is the hardest part emotionally. Just know that we are all here for you if you need to cry, scream, vent, anything! I am praying for you!

Bammom, I'm sorry your dr is being that way. After reading a lot of these posts about the drs not doing things, it makes me realize how lucky I am to have my RE. I agree with felurian, take your healthcare into your hands... tell them what you expect and accept nothing less. Good Luck!

AFM: So finally I had a +OPK and now it is negative so I am officially 0DPO . Temps were still low this morning, we'll see what happens tomorrow.
we did not get to BD last night so that only leaves 2 and 3 days ago with Preseed, but I am not too optimistic, actually a little passive about it... but you know how it is no matter how sure you are that you are out you still have that little hope inside.
I was reading yesterday that the chances of getting pregnant on ovulation day are actually very slim, it is 1-2 days before that get the egg. This is because when you ovulate it is a 12-24 hour window, but it takes sperm 10-12 hours to transform into what can actually fertilize an egg, so BD BD BD when you think ovulation is coming in the next few days.
But I know where we are all coming from trying to BD all we can, otherwise we feel like we did not do enough... We do more than enough, I hope all of us here realize it.

myluckyduck: So happy you got to start BD on time, how is the OPK looking?
That is so great you are optimistic, this is your cycle!

Bammom: [congartulations] this is a !!!! This is great news!!!
Praying for you!!! Wouldn't it be hard to hide such news from DH with you smiling and being so so happy?
I hope the stress dissolves fast and you just get to be happy for 9 months .

jgroves: YEY, you have a baby buddy. Yeah guys are like that, the baby has to be in their hands to fully comprehend what is happening. It's not his fault, he's just a guy.
You are not alone, we are all here for you!!! So happy!!!!

Cristi: Thanks, but we did not BD last night, but there is still a chance from 2-3 night ago. Yey, we are DPO buddies, will start counting at 1DPO tomorrow just in case. Will take bromelain 1-5DPO as I cant eat pineapple.
I know what you mean about it taking over your life, I am just waiting for that moment to arrive where I decide to live instead of just TTC, you think it happens?

rebecca: Sorry got you, but it is a new start, a day or too and hopefully you will feel better.
I know what you mean about bad news and all that, I am that person too, always has been, but our day will come and none of it will matter anymore.

acrichton: IDK about the results but also want to know, DH will be going for tests next week.
Here is a little info: http://www.alive.com/articles/view/17772/6_ways_to_boost_male_fertility_naturally I see now that Kizzy also offered this site.
I also read that too much BD can do that, that is why they recommend not to BD at least 48 hours before test.

1st: I hope you guys also BD'd two and three days ago. Congratulations on the +OPK, we got it at the same time another DPO buddy, YEY!!!!
and !!!!!
Yeah, DH has been also needing a break, after driving me nuts while I was in school and full time work that we did not BD enough, go figure... MEN.
How are your temps?

Lacey: It is 0DPO, thanks ... since it is CD25, the TWW are now welcome as I was so tired of waiting for them...
Wow, a lot of DPO buddies, so great, maybe we can keep each other's mood up . It is now you, me, 1st, GVMDL, and Cristi.

While: for you, I hope it is just a slow start and everything will pick up and be great!!!

Wifey: I am sensitive to pineapple, that is why I got Bromelain pills which are the same as the pineapple core, maybe you can try that.

Kizzy: Implantation perhaps??? Try to hold a couple of days for a . People with feelings is a good sign .
and !!!!!

pbc: Nice to see you

Blushing: How are you doing?

Genie: Still for you!!!
and !!!!!
