Jan 2016 TTC / Testing - New Year BFPs!

[purple]

Purple, thanks so much for your input. Was it a big filling? Mine was very deep & quite large, 1/3-1/2 of my tooth. I can't stop touching the sharp edges with my tongue. So you didn't end up losing a tooth or anything?

Do you have any complete past charts I could look at? That would help with determining if you've Oed. Are you temping vaginally? Your temps seem a bit low plus no fertile CM...I'd be inclined to say you haven't Oed yet.

Mine was only small as it was to fix my front tooth that had a chip come off. It was smooth when the filling came out but when it first happened it was sharp and I kept touching it with my tounge but I got it fixed within a few days then.

I agree I haven't O'd. Probably just wishful thinking that my body might actually work properly on its own.

Ksmom, the latest I have O'd is cd47 but I was averaging cd30 last year until I did clomid 2 cycles ago and it was cd18 then cd 17 the month after clomid.

Anyone else really disappointed that the timing idea for swaying girl or boy does not work? I think the more I read about swaying, the more I think there are so many variables that interact that it is nearly impossible to predict.

Fingers crossed for everyone, who all are waiting to test?

I'm not. Shettles timing wouldn't work for me as I can't predict when I will O. At least one attempt at opk+ means I can get an attempt in each cycle.

Oh gosh Purple that must be so frustrating to O so late! I get frustrated enough having my O usually between CD25-30. I was lucky enough last cycle for it to be a little earlier than that. Hopefully you O soon so you're not just waiting around to have your attempt.

Tfahn, I agree that you won't O until your hcg has dropped down to non-pregnant levels. Your O might be delayed or it might not be...hard to say. I didn't O until CD28 after my first loss but that's more of my normal. You likely won't have AF before you ovulate since this bleeding you're having is like the start of a new cycle.

Good luck Gagirl!! If you did O around the time FF says, then you got some really well timed attempts in!

[tfahn]

I would expect it may be like the cycle after a miscarriage and you would ovulate once the hcg drops. I assume you have passed all the pregnancy tissue?

I bleed for 3 days, wasn't much tissue that I saw/remember. Also 7 days before that I had bleeding for 3-4 days in what I thought was my period. I wasntnsure if there would be much tissue being a chemical pregnancy and not very far along.

So do most people wait to have a regular period before trying again? Torn on wether I should try if I ovulate this month or just wait until after my next period. This cycle was just really messed up so I don't know.

tfahn, I don't think you'll bleed again until after you O...so hopefully not at all bc you catch the very next egg. The clomid should still have a sway effect along with the loss, so great cycle for pink, so i would definitely not skip this cycle. Try to catch that first egg regardless of how late you O. I personally don't O late after early losses. Fx fx!

Girlie, still no spotting. I had mild cramping in the am, then it went away, and I had moderate cramping in the evening for a few hours before it dissipated again. My sore nipples came back and my breasts feel super tender again. My symptoms are definitely fluctuating, and have been for a few days. It's not just due to fluctuations in my dose of pain meds either, though I'm sure that's a factor. I am now officially late for a natural cycle, but on Vitex my LP was extended up to 14 days and I also had sore nipples/tender breasts most cycles. I'm afraid that since I'm on even stronger hormones now, my LP will be even longer, like 16 or 18 days! I will go insane if that happens and I'm not pregnant. I maaay test tomorrow.

Do you want a 4th child no matter what or are you trying primarily for a girl? I really want a daughter for my first child thus my swaying! It sounds like you could get another daughter without swaying but time on the diet will definitely up your odds a lot.

[tfahn]

I was doing a boy sway, but would love either. So hopefully the clomid and chemical don't sway too much

[maidentomother]

purple, that is so awesome you Oed almost as early the cycle after clomid. I hope I respond the same way, as I O late to and my plan is to do clomid next cycle, nothing the cycle after, then clomid, then nothing. Hoping to make the most of the meds that way.

Of course, now I'm very curious when I would O next cycle if I didn't take clomid, I wonder how different things are the cycle after FSH injections?

It was actually one day earlier, as you can imagine I was pretty happy with that! I thought it might be because of starting metformin but it must have been the clomid from the previous month.

If I start clomid in Feb / March I might do one on and one off to save some money.

[maidentomother]

Oops tfahn I'm so sorry I forgot! In your case I WOULD skip this cycle and wait until the next since you're swaying blue. An early loss shouldn't have as much if any of a pink effect beyond the first cycle after.

purple, that IS even better! I hope alternate cycles work well for you in the future too, if needed (hopefully not). Metformin can really do wonders to move up O.

After my CP I TTC'd the very next cycle. You really only need to wait a cycle if there was some type of intervention like a D&C. Many docs recommend waiting a cycle or two but IMO that is more for allowing the mom to grieve than anything. If the body wasn't ready to support a preg it wouldn't O... obviously in the case of interventions it is a bit different but in a natural, uncomplicated loss (where the body deals with the loss on its own without assistance of meds or procedures), esp. a CP, I think it's safe to follow your heart. wait if you need the time to grieve, don't if you feel okay with TTC'ing right away. Women lose pregs all the time that they don't even know ever existed because they didn't test. The body knows how to handle it, and a natural, uncomplicated loss does no damage to the body (the heart yes, but not the body) so it is really up to you. (((HUGS)))
