Cycle #8 ~ 10 DPO



The day started off pretty crappy.  Literally.  Toilet overflowed and flooded the bathroom floor.  Got that cleaned up.  Then it just went downhill from there.  *sigh*



I'll start with my temp.  Down slightly.  Still pretty high but at this point in my cycle temp dropping is not a good sign.





Took a Wondfo @ 5am and got excited because there's clearly a line.  Very faint, a squinter for sure, but within the time limit.





I managed to sleep from about 7:30am to 9am.  When I got up I took the test above, and another line - clearly.  Maybe even a little darker.  Progression?  Sure seems like it.  So that got me REALLY excited and I was pretty much convinced this was it.  Plus I had a very strong wave of nausea that left me actually standing over the toilet because I thought I was about to vomit.  I didn't - thankfully - so I drank some sips of gingerale and rubbed peppermint oil on my temples and under my nose to help with that.  Tried to get back to sleep around 11am but I just couldn't.  So I stayed up and drank very little so and held my pee for as long as I could, which ended up being about 2 hours.  



Took both a Wondfo and FRER, and I was expecting to see at least the same kind of line from four hours prior at 9am, but nope.  I don't see anything.  Maybe the ghost line but that's useless.  And my pee was a nice dark yellow color.

So after that I lost it emotionally....cried and cried.  I'm gonna try to get some sleep now, and I don't plan to test again for a long time.

CD 17 & 18 ~ 1 & 2 dpo Just Ovulated!

Image
I'm 2dpo today (April 21st, 2017).  I began this cycle on April 4th (my 3rd PP cycle).  I ovulated a day or two earlier than my usual, which could be due to some fertility supplement I'm taking - which I'll go into detail about in a future post. Here's my positive OPK progression:   My test on CD 15 around 1pm was the first one I considered positive, but then my 8pm test as well as my CD 16 tests were also positive.  My most positive test was on CD 16 around noon.  This is the only one where the test line was darker than the control line, though not dramatically so.  This is what I would consider to be my peak day, also the last day of ewcm and the day I felt ovulation pain (around 6-7pm that day).  I don't always feel O pains, but they were very prominent this month and on the right ovary. This is my chart as of today (2dpo):   I'm hoping to see my crosshairs tomorrow at 3dpo!  This is the best looking chart I've had yet - which gives me hop...

Cycle #5 ~ 10 dpo

  Ugh.  That's the only word I can use for today.  BFN Wondfo and FRER with FMU.  Like not even a hint of a line.  I really feel like this is the end of the line and AF will be here by Sunday (12dpo), Monday at the latest.  I'm just so fed up with it all, and when I get to this point in my cycle where I've realized the chances of a BFP are slim to none, I just think...ok let's just get on with it then.  I know they say 10 dpo is still really early but it's actually not.  Not when you have pregnancy tests that pick up extremely low levels of hcg.  And yes some don't get bfp until 11, 12 dpo or even later but they're the exception, not the rule.  At least it feels that way.  So yeah....just waiting on the witch to arrive.  I hope my Clomid arrives in time for me to use it.  It's sitting in customs in NYC at the moment.  This mornings stupid BFN's.....       *Update* I got some sleep finally, and woke up w...

Cycle #10 ~ CD 11

Image
Well here we are in November.  I’m very conflicted right now because I’m just to that point where I don’t know what else to do to get pregnant.  I’ve done everything that’s within my power.  Part of me wants to just throw my hands up and give up.  I’m almost 40.  DH is 47.  My girls are 14 and 15.  Maybe it’s just too late.  I have to be okay with the possibility of not having a baby.  And I’m so not okay with that, but I don’t know what else to do. As the holidays creep closer and the anniversary of Jackson’s birth/death nears, I just feel this heaviness, this weight that I can’t seem to shake and the closer it gets, the more anxious I feel.  I don’t understand why this happened to me.  I so badly want to just erase it and start again.  I want my son.  And that, I cannot have.  At least not in this life. AF was four days long, fairly heavy.  Then there was four days of spotting.  I am not temping this cycle...
