HI, ladies

Wow, it's been busy on this forum over the last few weeks. I've been scanning through the email notifications of activity on the forum, and have been crying, yelling and laughing with you guys, although I didn't always respond.

I'll have to catch up on everyone, but wanted to give some feedback.

I am on CD 22 today, 7 dpo, as I got my strong positive OPK on CD14. I assume I ovulated the next morning, as I felt the cramping close to my ovaries during that time. I was on 150mg Fertomid this cycle, so ovulating one day later than usual is not that bad. I battled with mean headaches, fatigue and irritability, which I can only attribute to the medication. Yesterday afternoon, 6dpo, I had twinge like cramping near my left ovary, closer to the groin area, which was weird. It was just for a few minutes, then went away. So that was weird. My boobies are slightly tender, doesn't hurt like it usually does during this part of my cycle- They feel extremely heavy and swollen. Apart from that, I am holding thumbs for a BFP this cycle. This is our 7th cycle after the miscarriage in May, so I think it's about time.

Anyway, Liza and Chanti - So holding thumbs for your respective IVF cycles. I really pray that you get a BFP soon!

@Jooste - How are you coping after the chemical? Happy BD'ing! You are in my prayers.

@Jay-bee - Holding thumbs for you too. Little Rosalie needs a little brother or sister!

@Sammy - Sorry that you didn't get good news from the bloods - I know it is devestatingly dissapointing if you really hope for BFP and then the numbers drop. I am praying for you.

Liza
I got my digital BFP with my IVF on 8dp4dt (technically then 12dpo).
So...you should be able to see that positive on a digital on saturday as you will then be 8dp5dt (technically 13dpo) - where most digitals will be able to detect low HcG levels.

Try not to test earlier...remember you also used a trigger shot and those can give false positives on early detection pregnancy tests. My trigger only tested OUT of my system (with my IVF) on 6dp4dt.

Keep up the spirit!!!!!

@ Jooste I'm struggling not to get to excited! I'm really praying that we get our miracle. As i have no idea how i am going to cope with another disappointment.

So on Saturday afternoon i'll only be 8dpt. Should i rather wait until Sunday morning or do i test on Saturday? Would it really make a big difference?

Sammy
I am really sorry!
I've had 3 chemicals this year and it really sad. Too early for the first scan, but surely a little soul lost.
Thinking of you-

Liza
Hmmm....my money is on you!

Hope2
Unfortunately you will need to see a specialist to check out your cervix to give you answers to your questions. There is just no way that one can figure that one out yourself. There is only 2 ways to know if it was a chemical:
1. Getting a BFP on a pregnancy test...and then witnessing that 2nd line fade (or the "pregnant' status change to "not pregnant" on a digital) over the next couple of days - and then getting your period a few days later
2. Having a bloodtest done to detect low HcG levels ....and finding at the follow-up bloodtest that the HcG levels are dropping....and then your period arrives.

What CD are on you today?

AFM
Nothing new on my side. I feel my ovaries being "heavy" - OV will probably happen sometime over the weekend. So we have some more homework to do.....
(I decided that I will not use any OPKs this month or go for progesterone bloodtests to find out if I did OV) We are blindly trusting that Someone else is in control.

Hi Ladies

@ Sammy so sorry to hear. Just feels so unfair that the TTC journey is so hard! I will be praying for you for the cycle that lays ahead. Lots of hugs!

AFM went to bed at 8 i was so tired! It seems like after 3 in the afternoons i can't seem to keep my eyes open. My lower back has been aching for two days now and it doesn't seem to get better. Being desperate i took a panado this morning.

Further more just the usual feelings that can be AF or that BFP we've been praying for. Some nausea now and again and slight cramping.

Two days until we test!

Good morning ladies.... So I went for my 2nd test this morning..... my levels dropped to 2 point something this morning, so I did in fact have a chemical this month. Although I know in my heart that it was the best outcome I could have asked for, my heart is still hurting ALOT again.... SO seen as today is my CD3, I have to make my way all the way to the dr's rooms for my scan at 12:30, and then start everything all over again

Hope everyone else is having a wonderfully blessed day further
