TTC Girl - January 2012

[suregena]

Well, from what CM I could get from around the cervix (as I have been taking cetirizine 10mg) seemed stretchy/slippery but there wasn't a ton of it. It took the length of my fingers to get up there, so it must be high. So, hopefully, that's all a good sign. Sometimes it's been hard for me to be able to tell from hard vs soft but I think it's fairly soft-ish? Obviously my cervix feels slightly different post first child so hard to tell open from close, ha!

Fingers crossed I'm just being paranoid. My urine tonight was definitely nearly clear, though. I'm SO paranoid missing the window! Hah!

Hi girls,
I am in a bit of a medical dilemma....I assumed I never got pregnant this whole time bc of replens, rephresh, douching, shallow or missed timing...yes, I am absurd...I honestly just thought it would happen one month. I was sooo fertile with DS 2 and ovulated super early with a one time attempt two days...and it all unfolded like clockwork.
But, now I am ovulating/ovulated and I actually have a swollen ovary and it is sooo painful. It hurts to touch it and even DH noticed it was swollen. It is even visible as being swollen. I had PCOS and I am just wondering if anyone out there can help...?
What is this all about?

We dtd two days ago and if I am not in too much pain we might try again. We have a good attempt...no "stuff" to get in the way. We actually tried last night but the kids and then the dog interrupted....5 times and by then, well, the mood was over! lol!

Anyone have advice for o plus?

Or, do you think I have cysts?
Maybe that is why I am not pregnant.

Anyone???


Amari...those smiley faces are based on the previous levels taken. If you get a smiley stop taking them as they will be negative unless levels rose again. You can save them for next month!

Surgena: I think with changing things up with vitex or supplements or anything like that it can change symptoms. I can't help with the cervix issue though.
However, I started cd 1 on Jan 5th and today I ovulated!

Dinner is ready...I will check later though everyone.

PS: katie....false symptoms are still good symptoms...stay positive and excited
You are very cute and a good mom already to #4!

pink? where are you?

Mocha...do you have any advice as an over 35 swayer? Hope you are feeling well!

Amari~ I just caught up on this thread for today. I agree with everything peonyprincess said to you and would have said exactly the same thing. I've even called the clearblue hotline to ask about this. Once you get the smiley you are going to O. If you do not continue to get the smiley it just means the LH surge is not higher then when you first caught it. Hope that makes sense.

Lemon~ I don't think anyone can tell you if you have a cyst on your ovary. Even a doctor can't tell you that without doing a sonogram. For all you know it could be another organ all together! It is possible that all the "stuff" used to sway is what decreased your fertility, which is exactly what we want it to do, and why it sways girl! I think you need to make a doc apt as soon as you can.
Where are you with O? I don't think there is any advice for 0+ except if you wait too long you miss the egg all together. I've read a lot and it seems that women you get pregnant by 0+ are probably closer to O then they even realize. So don't worry about the timing and if you feel well then go for it, if you don't feel well thats another story.... Wish I could help more.

Lemon I am still here!! just waiting waiting waiting.... taking forever I am only 4dpo today feels like i should be 8 dpo!

Hi pink...I think you and Katie are too cute!
Seriously, cute by picture and by your excitement. You are good mommies I am jealous as I am 10 years older! Now, I am just paranoid and busy and tired!

How are you girls doing?

Hope....I have done everything possible not to get pregnant and hoped my little girl would creep up there,,lol. This month we were more casual as we have a booked a trip in March to Florida...wooohooo!
However, I need to know if I am infertile or just plain stopping the process!
I am in pain and I really really feel like nothing but a hot compress, a glass of wine and bed!
What to do? I certainly know time is ticking! I cannot keep this up...it is torturing me!
I know there is no scientific reasoning to timing, but it is all in my head!

I had cysts before being diagnosed with PCOS when I was first married at age 25...now I am 38!
My doc mentioned that I might experience pain bc cysts were rupturing but did not seem too concerned.

Pink..how do you figure you were o plus?

Thanks Lemon!!
Umm well as for what ( i thought ) may of been O+14, I get very bad pain when i O like pain when it hurts to even sit down and i only get it for a few hrs and will start at whatever time it wants! so i had that pain start at 7pm on the friday night and i had one off EWCM and my cervix was high, then the next morning i was pretty dry down there but cervix was still pretty high and my opk was very + so i thought it was o+14 but who knows ....

Amari I know what you are going through I am a major stress head and that is why o did not happen when it was meant to try not to stress about it and it will happen easier said then done i know!
