Maiden-- how are you going to be able to go through a pregnancy without painkillers? Or do you plan on taking them throughout pregnancy? Is that safe? I won't even take Tylenol during pregnancy as it's been shown to increase the chance of your child having asthma later on! I'd be super scared to be on high dose painkillers!
essnce, the opiates I take are safe in pregnancy and have been okayed by all my drs, and I've done extensive research on their use in pregnancy. However, I doubt I will need them as when I was last pregnant, once the Relaxin kicked in (which was around 4w) I no longer needed my meds at all. My pain is worse now so it is possible I will need a low dose in future pregnancies, but maybe not. My pain is almost completely due to muscle tension and spasms and Relaxin is by far the most effective treatment. Valium is next best but I don't take it during the TWW as isn't completely safe (though the research is not comclusive I would prefer not to risk it). My biggest issue will be tapering off the opiates without triggering withdrawal, as the stress of that could cause me to miscarry. But I can't go off my meds until I'm pregnant as I can't function off them, and I don't O off them anyway bc of how much the pain stresses my body. I and my drs believe that a full term pregnancy may permanently reduce my pain/improve my scoliosis, especially if I can wear my back braces as much as possible while pregnant.
I'm not sure if I Oed CD16 or C17. On CD15 my OPKs were already darker, catching the beginning of my surge, I believe. CD16, 17 and 18 I slept without a blanket in a much cooler room due to my cat peeing on my bed. CD17 and 18 I temped 3 hours later than usual, and I adjusted my temps down on my chart (actual temps were 98.0 and 98.24 respectively).I had my worst O pain on CD17 in the evening through night but I did have some milder O pain on CD16. And my first cycle on Clomid in Jan, I didn't have true/strong O pain on either of the days I likely Oed on (CD16/17). Thoughts based on all that and my chart? Oh and my CM started to turn creamy towards the end of CD16. It's also possible I have yet to O, though so far no O pain today (it's almost 5pm here) and CM and cervix are very infertile.

I love that chart!! I think you def. Oed, what do you think?
Thanks! I'm thinking I must have. I FEEL like I've Oed. Just not sure on exact day/time. It's all complicated by my sleeping in a much cooler room the past 4 nights. I'll be happier when my temps are well in my post O temp range.I did have a low/slow temp rise last time on Clomid though, maybe that's just normal for me. I think it's also possible I popped 2 eggs several hours apart in such a way that one released on CD16 one on CD17. That's what happened last time on Clomid we think. Possibly last cycle too, I also released 2 eggs then. But I was hoping to avoid twins on a lower dose...I'll find out tomorrow when I get a scan.
Good luck with your scan Maiden :)
Oh Maiden just looking at your chart & it looks fab for O! I so hope this is your month I am sending so much baby dust your way, GL
Good luck Maiden. Any news? Got everything crossed for you that this is your month for a BFP. Xxoo
I got my scan yesterday and I did release one egg from each side like I suspected, and that is also what happened my first cycle on Clomid. Got a nice temp rise today and may consider testing around 10dpo, that would be next Monday.
