Good morning ladies. I hope everyone has a good day. Today is my sons last day of school here. He is so excited. When I took my temp this morning it is still going up. It was at 98.3 this morning 2 degrees higher than yesterday. Well I need to go and run him to school. I will look in latter. Miranda

I've had quite a few pinches, twinges and sharp pains myself. I'm assuming its stretching of the internal stitches. You could have pulled something. Sorry. I hope you feel better.

HCG was negative and my ovaries look fine so who knows what that huge pain in my side was. Oh well at least it's gone now. On a side note my thyroid number was 8.63 whatever that means. Apparently that's high so I'll have to bring that up to my Rheumatologist when I see him next. I have an autoimmune disease but my thyroid levels have always been fine. Go figure,...you go for one thing and come with an entirely different problem. lol

Boston I am so sorry your doctor is so uncaring it sounds. I am going to pray that God leads you to the right one and that they will care about what is going on. I can not stand it when a doctor says this happen to you but when asked will not tell you anything about it. I feel if you are a doctor that is what you should do. I hope every tihng gets better. Miranda
Carol if you ever want help with the list just say so. Thought I would let you know.

Boston....sounds like you have a jerk for a doctor. He does know you are post-TR and TTC right? A chemical pregnancy is one that fertilizes and implants long enough that if you were to test early may get a positive, but for some reason doesn't remain implanted and you body absorbs it just prior to your next AF beginning. Chemical pregnancies can occur for a variety of reasons, based on my research. Sometimes it can be due to low progesterone level to maintain the pregnancy, but more than likely it could have been that the cells just didn't form correctly. Supposedly as many as 50% of all early pregnancies end in this way, but most women don't know it because it reabsorbs by the time the next cycle begins.

Morning everyone. (or afternoon I guess..I am late today!). Spent 3 hours in the gyn office yesterday afternoon getting probed and prodded. I guess I'll find out today what went on in there, though I'm pretty much all better now. What a drag it is to get all that stuff done (internal exam AND internal ultrasound) while AF is in full force! Then I get home and everyone wants to know immediately when dinner will be ready.
I am glad though, no matter what the outcome is, that I went because now I know that I want to change gyn's. He was totally aloof at the whole thing and said he highly doubted that it was a tubal. Gave me no reason for the "highly doubted" comment. Also he said I must have had a "chemical pregnancy" because of the positive test. I asked how that happens and he couldn't explain it and asked why the heck I tested so early on anyways. Niiice. NO bedside manner whatsoever.
This cycle I got on ebay and bought some OPK's so I am just not sure about them yet. Last cycle I bought Rite Aid brand midstream OPK's and they worked great. I know CHTRC suggests the clear blue easy OPK's that shows a smiley face when it is positive for us newbies though. They are like $40 dollars and I don't want to spend that much on OPK's when I have my monitor also. I probably would suggest the midstream ones, they seem to work the best. You may also want to get on ebay to look. They have the midstream ones for cheaper. That is also where I bought my clear blue fertility monitor brand new for $80. I do love it. Oh, I also had another girl recommend the Baby Hopes OPK's. They are dip stick but they also have midstream too. She also recommended their BBT thermometer and their aim stick PG tests. They have a lot of other things and you can get package deals. Thats www.babyhopes.com. I hope this all helps.
I also wanted to let you girls know I started taking Evening Primrose Oil this cycle, about 1500mg. And it is working. I am just so excited to see so much EWCM b/c last cycle I had little to none. For those of you who would like to try it and don't know when to take it, I started CD1 and you only take it until 'O'. For some women you may have to take up to 3000mg to see EWCM so it does depend on the woman. I have also been reading that grapefruit juice is beneficial in helping to get EWCM too.HTH's

Hi Toni... I don't test until around 1:00. The last 3 days when I tested, I didn't even have a FAINT line??????? I drink a lot of water, but stopped drinking 2 hours before the test, and could only hold out for 2 hours on the tinkling part...LOL. Today though, I do feel kind of crampy. Also had a dip in my temp this morning. Maybe these OPKs I got just don't work!!! I ordered them from Early Pregnancy Tests online. They are the dip sticks, not the midstream. I think next cycle I will try a different brand...what kind does everyone suggest???
What's the word on the OPK? I received a - on the OPK and a high on my monitor. That means my monitor has detected an increase of my LH but not a peak yet. But that means my peak should be coming soon. My OPK's are getting darker. I am having cramps, sore breasts and periodic nausea, all that I got a day or two before 'O' last month. I will have to make sure I use another OPK tonight. I have to keep a close eye on it now. Also, I don't know if you know this either but if you want to check yours tonight again try not to drink or pee for four hours before you perform the test. Hopefully you will get a + this morning though. Good Luck! Oh, in case you are wondering why I use both my monitor and OPK's it's b/c until I am completely comfortable with my monitor I want to double check with OPK's. Last cycle, the night before I got my peak on my monitor I received a + OPK. Don't want to be missing any chances. Well, have a good day.

I know I had waits,lol. I tell everyone if they are going to surprise me with something not to tell me cause it will drive me nuts. It is 8:42 in the morning and already 69 degrees out. It is going to be one of those days in NC where if your outside you want a shade tree,lol. Have a great day everyone, I am feeling funny so I am going to lay down while my girl is being good. Miranda

Morning Everyone. I hope you all have a good day today. I started getting sick on my tummy last night. Then when I woke early this morning my right side is a little sore. So please pray for me today. I do not like the not knowing what is going on but it does help knowing I am in Gods hands. Have a great day. Miranda I think I will take it easy today, well as much as I can any way.

Carol most women do not want to hear this,lol. But I am praying that AF starts for you tonight. I do things the all natural way, even when I am sick so I hope you find a way to jump start things that want harm TTC in anyway. Miranda
