Cycle #8 ~ 6 DPO



I'm 6 dpo!  Let the frenzy begin!

Symptoms for today....

  • UTI is back?!?! - so I had what I think was a kidney infection about a week ago I think.  I used AZO tablets and it seemed to go away.  However every time I went to pee last night it HURT like really low in my uterus/bladder area. Once I peed the pain went away.  This happened several times in a row and so I took some AZO and it seems to have stopped for now.  Really bizarre though.  So possibilities...UTI in my lower urinary tract/bladder, a kidney stone that's working its way out, ectopic pregnancy (very unlikely), regular pregnancy and my uterus is expanding already (extreeeeeeemely unlikely).

  • Yeast Infection - yay 😥 No idea why but I've been getting them somewhat frequently this year and usually during the 2WW.  I don't want to use anything internally during the 2WW so I'm gonna try to just use the external cream and hope it's actually just an allergy to the tp at a restaurant or something and not an actual YI.

  • Frequent Urinarion - still having this but it's probably related to the UTI.  It doesn't burn when I pee, and that's usually a given with a UTI.  So I dunno.  I did read that one of the first things that happens in early pregnancy even before implantation is that the body starts sending more blood to the organs including the kidneys which makes them work a bit harder.  Some will say no symptoms are possible before implantation but that's false.  Hcg is not released into the bloodstream until implantation.  When an egg is fertilized, it sends signals to the body instantly which suppress the immune system. Otherwise the body would outright reject and attack the diving egg before it can implant.  It drives me nuts on message boards when "experts" (aka couch doctors) claim it's impossible to have any symptoms prior to implantation.  It's simply not true and there is a blood test that can measure an enzyme called early pregnancy factor (I think?) from within hours of fertilization.  Just sayin'.

  • Digestive issues - I've had some gas and I feel a bit constipated but I did have a BM today.  Burping a lot!

  • Temperature is quite high today at 99.24!  However if I do have a UTI, that could cause a low grade fever so it's probably that.

  • What I do NOT have....boobs are not sore or bigger, no nausea yesterday or today, emotions are in check other than a little irritable.  

Took a FRER with FMU and it's BFN although as usual I see a line lol.  It was probably just the angle of the pic because none of the other pics I took showed anything.  I started to delete it but I thought nah cuz if I happen to get a bfp tomorrow then this could very well have been the start of it.  I did have spotting yesterday which is gone now, although it could have been UTI related if maybe there was some blood in my urine.  Can't discount that.  And yes I realize 6 dpo is ridiculously early for a bfp but I *could* actually be 7 dpo which is rare I admit, but hey - I have 7 FRER so if I just use one a day I'll take my last one on the day AF is due.  The only issue is, my pee was very orange/red thanks to the AZO tablets.  So that of course affected the color of the tests, made them really yellow.

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...
