I took another test just now. 5 hour hold.. I couldn't find a line.. /: my urine was super clear though. I so hope that's the only reason why.. I bought a digi just now.. /: won't be able to test till tonight. Now I'm worried I wasted money

Sorry Signingmommy. :( FX for a BFP next cycle!!
I'm sorry it's a bfn Nann but it's still early. Just FYI the digitals aren't very sensitive. If it's the CB digital that just reads "pregnant" or "not pregnant," the sensitivity is 50 vs the FRER which is 25. The FRER must be WAY more sensitive than what they claim because my beta was a 16 the day after I got a positive on the FR so it had to be even lower than that the day before.
Nann I hope it comes back if you test today. And that bfp line develops because I did see the line in the other tests you posted.
Can I ask a question about early pregnancy with your girls. So after you found out you were but before you knew they were girls, was you duper hungry?
I was alway hungry when I was pregnant with my boys. Now with my bean when I'm not feeling sick I'm feeling so hungry.
I read somewhere that boy fetuses send signals to the mothers brain telling them they are hungry all the time. If this is true then I'm carrying my 4th boy!

Hi ladies , AF showed today . All good obviously God is making me practice patients..
Ahh bring it on May��
My dad just came around and was talking about his new girlfriends daughter. That they just found out she is pregnant. So I told my dad I was too. Didn't want to wait a few weeks then him day I only got pregnant because he told me this other women did. he went "what another one i thought you wasnt going to have anymore".my reply was "i never said that and its not upto anyone how many kids we have". All he did was talk about his girlfriends daughter what they are going to call it if it's a boy and what if it's a girl. And his girlfriend is pushing the same name I want if it's a girl. Grr upset and mad. I'm his 1st born child he should be happy for me. It was me who took him in when he was made homeless!

I think his reasoning is that it is better to wait then to see if baby is going to be viable. I had told him my scan at 7 weeks all looked good and I guess in that case if I had a scan a week later it might have indicated something was wrong sooner.Quote:

signingmommy - I'm sorry your intuition was wrong :( I hope next month is your lucky month!
Faithinpink - Sorry AF got you as well :(
BR sorry about ur dad acting that way I know that sucks!
Hi everyone! Update on me:
So I went to a GYN appointment today for the first time ever in my life. I've only seen homebirth midwives with my pregnancies and family doctors for everything else including my annual pap, etc. I wanted to figure out what's up with my super heavy hemorrhaging periods, possible fibroids, and low iron. The doctor I went to had excellent reviews and specializes in fertility issues. She spent an hour with me! Anyways, she did a transvaginal ultrasound and said I do NOT have any fibroids, but that my uterus is enlarged (6-8 week pregnancy size) and I have a big golf ball sized mass on my left ovary! She said it looked like ovarian endometriosis, so a big blood and tissue filled mass (endometrioma it's called)! I guess they are also called chocolate cysts because when you cut them open it looks like a chocolate truffle! She said the enlarged uterus may just be from me having had kids. She did say it was lumpy though! But none of that is causing my heavy periods she said. She took a bunch of blood tests and wants to test me for blood disorders like sickle cell, von willebrand, etc. She also wants me to try and not have a period for 1-2 months to build up my iron stores. So she prescribed some progesterone only pill that's stronger than the mini pill and should stop my period. Then she prescribed another med, Lysteda, that's non-hormonal to take during my period that should make it lighter. That one I'm actually leary of taking since it causes blood clots and I'm already at risk for that due to my homozygous MTHFR mutation and I read a study where several women with the same mutation suffered strokes while taking it!!! So not sure about that one. She'll get back to me in a week to go over all my blood test results. The progesterone pill may shrink my ovarian mass (she'll recheck in 6 weeks), but if not I'll need laproscopic surgery to remove it since it's not normal. Fun times!
Wow that is a lot going on there. I hope everything goes well for you and you get that iron level up. I bet you have been feeling so tired! Hoping that mass really soea sheink foe you. I'd love to hear updates from you to check how your getting on.Quote:

Yeah I know jennypenny , it is rubbish .
Good luck for next month x
wow essnce, what alot of information you found out, I hope all the plans help and it gets you on track to your bfp! Sorry AF showed up for some of you ladies! I am really putting off trying and am not sure why, I bet when I decide to try it will take me a long time to conceive and then I will be like why did I wait. I think before you attempt the hope is still alive but once your pregnant it is decided and you cannot change it! Have a good day!
AF was supposed to come yesterday but took her sweet time and came today.
Essnce I'm so glad you got some answers but that's a lot to take in! I hope those meds are able to sort things out for you so you can get your iron levels back up. Keep us posted on how it goes!
Sorry you got AF Signingmommy. :( FX for a May BFP!
Checking in.
CD 17 and still no positive OPK yet for me :( Starting getting sick Sunday night with a Sinus Cold so I am sure that will just delay O even more.
I took the 7.5mg of Femara on CD3-7 this cycle but I am not responding to it like they hoped. Had an ultrasound on CD13 to check follicle size and they were only around 13mm but my lining was good at 11. Went back on CD16 to check for growth and one grew to almost a 15 and my lining was down to an 6 or 8 (I can't remember anymore). So they basically said this cycle is a bust that my body was gearing up with the estrogen in the beginning and then puttered out.
They talked about maybe injectibles next month but I am going to try to get them to give the Femara another chance. Oh and they also said losing 10% of my body weight for next cycle would have the same effect as any of the injectible drugs. I am overweight and I honestly have been trying to lose weight but don't seem to be getting anywhere, I asked if the Clomid and Femara could cause the weight gain and they said it absolutely does make you gain weight and hold onto water weight. So basically I have been spinning my wheels dieting but I will try to cut my calories in hopes that it helps.
Do you know if you have PCOS tfahn? If you have some insulin resistance then it could be stopping you from losing weight, if that was the case then metformin might help (obviously your Dr would be the one to speak to about this).
I'm sorry the fermara hasn't helped :(
I was expecting AF today but it hasn't turned up. I expect it will be tomorrow as I wasn't 100% sure of my O dates. If it doesn't arrive tomorrow I will test Friday but I'm about 95% sure it will arrive.
I think the only symptom of PCOS I would possibly have, that I know of would be that I ovulate later, usually around CD18 but I get my cycle every month, so not sure if that is really a defect plus I'm overweight. I did have my thyroid levels checked a few months ago and they were fine and my fasting blood sugars were good. I know if I become stricter with my diet I should be able to lose the weight. I have lost the weight in the past and if I'm honest with myself I haven't been giving it my all. So I think I just need to buckle down and do it.
My sister has PCOS, with all the classic symptoms, thinning hair, weight gain, cysts on her ovaries and infertility, she had an 11 year age gap between her 2 kids.
I'm off to see my doctor, I feeling faint all the time with extreme tiredness. Wondering if I got low iron

Ask them to check your ferritin levels, not just hemoglobin and hematocrit. You can have an iron deficiency (low ferritin) but not be anemic. I am. Ideal ferritin is 70-90. Mine was 8.Quote:

Thanks!

My Ovulation Chart
Yes my temps are normally high (post-O range) during AF then they go down to my usual pre-O range once the bleeding stops.
Back from doctor. They discovered while I was there my pulse was fast so checked my urine for infection. All clear. And put me on a heart rate monitor. That came back fine in the end, the doctor said pulse was probably fast because of making me get on and off the couch and talking. Said most of my symptoms are probably down to pregnancy just like I thought but may have low iron and sending me doe blood rest tomorrow.

Is ferritin iron stores if so that's what they are checking. I think it says ferritin wriiten in the other investigations boxhttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...319c47f316.jpgQuote:

Yes, ferritin is iron stores. I've been on high dose prescription iron (150mg three times a day) for 18 months now trying to get mine up. LE diet for 9 months, heavy periods for 12 years, and then my miscarriage all contributed to my severe iron deficiency. My levels were at 46 at my last check. They were checked again yesterday but it will be a week till I get the results.
Are you taking folic acid too. Because that can help you absorb the ironQuote:

OMG! My DH cancelled his vasectomy!! He said he won't reschedule until I give him the green light!!! I can't believe it!
I know he said he wanted to TTC #4, but I have been skeptical since he still had his vasectomy scheduled for 6/1. No more! Whew! Now to hurry up and get pregnant!!

That's so exciting XX!!!! I can't wait to follow your journey to a pink bean! [emoji175][emoji166]
Team green baby due May 21! [emoji170][emoji166]
Oddly, I've been having some scanty spotting today at 8 dpo. I've never had any implantation bleeding before, wondering if it's just my whole cycle being messed up after mirena. I'll test on Friday!
Glad you're going to keep trying XX.
Hope your BP can be controlled, YB.
I'm taking 3000mcg of folate a day (divided up). I can't take folic acid as I have the MTHFR mutation.Quote:

So I am back this month girls. Cd15 here. I didnt take my clomid this month and i am doing no swaying at all! I hope to ovulate cd18 and get my attempt in evening of cd17 as my husband is working away from cd18!
Best of luck to everyone this month xo
Great news XX! You're super lucky to have a DH who's so on board with TTC. FX for you! Come on pink bean!
Purple -- I hope the clomid does the trick! Is this your first cycle taking it? Sending you lots of sticky dust!
Welcome back Pinkin! I hope you nail your timing this month!
