Magnificent May 2WW Thread

Well ladies I went to the doc and had lab work done since I have been feeling like death and have yet to get AF (18 months pp which is 6 months longer than I have ever gone before)
Anyways I got my results andAnda so confused by them. My sex hormone binding globulin is sky high, way out of normal range, my testosterone is low, my progesterone is .2. Does anyone know what effect any of that has on my cycle???
Also my ferritin was so low it was undetectable which probably explains why I can barely make it 2 hrs without wanting to collapse from exhaustion and the dizzy spells, ect

Any insight you ladies have I would appreciate!!

Was it a CD21 progesterone blood draw?

[essnce629]

Good luck this month everyone!

I'm on CD13 and started taking the norethindrone acetate pills (high dose progesterone only pills) on CD9. If they work, I should not ovulate or have a period this cycle. I'm still charting but the pills cause elevated temps which is why FF thinks I O'd on CD9. I'm just temping in order to see if I get a temp drop so I'll know if I should expect AF or not. I was on the progesterone only mini pill for 5 years after having DS2 and still O'd every month (confirmed by temps) and got AF right on time so I'm not that hopefull, but the doctor says these pills are a higher dose. I go back to the doctor in 5 weeks to see if my ovarian mass has shrunk.

I've been kind of sad and depressed for the past two weeks because my best friend had her baby girl last Saturday (I was her doula!) and even though I'm super excited for her and she deserves it so much after swaying and then having 3 miscarriages in a row, I'm still sad because she was my only friend with all boys and we used to talk about our GD together. Now she's on cloud 9 with her baby girl and I'm the only one out of our group of 5 best friends from high school that doesn't have a girl. I broke down crying several times and had two more heart to heart talks with DH and he's 100% not interested in having any more kids and wants me to just get over it and move on. It doesn't help that I'm turning 35 next month and always wanted to be done having kids by this point.

Aw, Essnce, I just want to give you a big hug! I'm hoping your DH has a change of heart. I know what you mean thinking you'd be done having kids by a certain age. I never would have thought I'd be TTCing 25 myself and here I am TTCing at 36!

I know how hard it must be to be supportive of your friend. My heart goes out to you!

I'm finally wanting a DD myself. Today, my DS1 had a birthday party to go to- a girl in his class. He is friends with two boys and three girls. We picked up a little girl to take to the party. She is a tomboy but girlie too. We hit it off. And then it happened. I want a DD of my own. Sigh.

So I've been awesome with exercise. I've been good with the diet. Time to get awesome with the diet. Hopefully I can get pregnant while nursing. It's happened before...

FX for all of us trying to add another little person in our lives...

Oh gosh Essnce, I'm so sorry! Having GD is such a monster sometimes and it really doesn't help when it seems like everyone else has what you want. It's just not fair. You know we're all here for you whenever you need to vent. Big, big hugs!! I hope the progesterone med helps and you're able to get your iron problem corrected. FX the cyst on your ovary shrinks down!

Tfahn, I'm so bummed you didn't respond better to the Femara.but it's nice to be O buddies again, almost.

pinkin, I hope you O promptly so you can be ou O buddy too.

essnce, hugs! Your situation makes me so angry and sad. I can only imagine how YOU feel. I also wanted to be done having kids young, but here I am 35 with none.

As for me, I'm 4dpo today. I haven't been well the past 2 weeks AND I've been having all sorts of electronic failures (both my German cell phones and 2 different German SIM cards not working properly or at all - I've had endless problems with my cell phones the past 4 years, my tablet has been insanely slow and crashing a ton, and I haven't been able to use my laptop). I think it's all due to my aura/electromagnetic field. I've always burnt through watch and thermometer batteries crazy fast, and frequently short out light bulbs, and my mom made everything electronic around her malfunction. Must be genetic...

Bc I was feeling so bad and had no working cell phone I wasn't able to meet up with new donor. I Oed a day earlier than expected on CD16 (very early like 3am, I think). I did get attempts in on O-3 and O-1 from old donor. The 2nd attempt was 12 hours at most before I Oed though, so may have been too late. However, the volume of the 2nd batch was great (3.5nl) much better than the tiny amounts (just under 1ml) he produced last cycle after his first ejaculation. Not hopeful, but I don't really want a Jan baby anyway

Good to see you again Maiden! I hope this is the cycle you get a BFP! FXFXFX

Hi everyone I'm back. I was supposed to be skipping this cycle but at the last minute decided to have a half arsed go at it. I've oed earlier than I thought (during the night I suspect) but wasn't expecting to o until today. So my attempt ended up being best guess 24-36 hours prior to o. Dh said he didn't think he'd released since last cycles attempts 😮 so not hopeful but not unhappy either as I still have issues with the due date lol. Better a 5% chance than none at all though Looking forward to catching up on this thread and seeing where everyone is at. Sorry I went MIA, I'd uninstalled tapatalk and ff as I went through a pretty rough time following af and just couldn't deal with it all but have bounced back as always. Just wish I'd taken my clomid but hoping taking it last cycle still had some effect this cycle.

Xxforhubby I cant believe we are actually in a ttc cycle at the same time!! I will be following your chart closely! Any idea if o feels close? Going by your old charts you and assuming your cycles are reasonably back to normal you may o this week?

Tfahn very excited to see you oed!! Really hoping the femara has helped! Bring on 9dpo and testing time!

Good luck this cycle Jennypenny!! Good idea to continue with e4d the cycle long. When do you usually o?

Inforthree how are your opks looking? Hoping you get a pos opk really soon!

Pinkin - cycle buddies! 😚🙌

Jenren can you ring or see your doc again and take in a list of questions? Sorry I cant offer any input but I too would feel abit bamboozled with results. Let us know how it goes or if you get any further feedback.

Essnce hope to hear your ovarian mass has shrunk at next check up. Totally get your feelings about your best friends dd. You did a wonderful thing being her doula whilst having to deal with your own feelings. One of my closest friends delivered a baby girl in January, the same morning my miscarriage started and it was such an emotional ordeal. I was hoping your dh would come around

Maiden hi! Sorry you've been unwell and things didn't work out with your new donor for this cycle. However super excited you got two attempts in with old donor and I think your last attempt is realy good timing! From my understanding sperm takes 6-12 hours to capacite and if you oed 12 hours after a decent insemination (woohoo) then I think you've got a great shot! I'm with you about not feeling excited about a January baby and will ve happy to move onto next cycle. In saying that it would be wonderful to see you post a bfp! Can you post a link to your chart here and there?

Hope I've not missed anybody - good luck one and all!
