I have to be honest, it has been wonderful to not spot from 9-10dpo until period comes. But at the same time it makes me so hopeful for pregnancy.
At least I ovulated on Clomid, right? 2 more tries. 2 more chances for pregnancy. Period is due tomorrow, feeling cramps again today. Sore bbs. Finally poohed lol (sorry TMI I know...) and tummy has been feeling kinda queasy off and on. Idk what to think.
Or even if I should think at all.
Internet cheapies are all BFN. I plan on buying first response later today or tomorrow. But for now I am going to focus on laundry, dishes, watching Aladdin with my sister, and making food for James to take to work. Trying to not think about what is going on in my uterus at this moment in time.
And it is darn hard.

P.S. sorry if you had a hard time finding me. I noticed on my stats readership is down.

SO, I have to ask. I usually spot anywhere from 7dpo on (the past two cycles have been from 3 & 5 dpo to AF). It pretty much starts on CD21, no matter when I ovulate. The later I ovulate, the heavier the bleeding, and the shorter my LP. Did/does the clomid help with your spotting do you think? I know it helps with stronger ovulation which in turn means high progesterone levels, which should stop/help spotting. I really want my doc to perscribe a low dose when we are ready to ttc, but she wont even do testing! She says since I have a period every month, my hormones are working fine (which I know to not be true). I really want to deliver in BC, but I'm frustrated with all the docs out here. Anyhow, I was just wondering. Thanks. (PS, hope that you have a sticky bean and that the spotting is a late implantation!! :D)
ReplyDeleteBTW, I had to stop following you, then refollow you. Even though you were listed in my reader list it wasn't going to the correct url. This fixed the problem for me. Maybe another post with this first thing since we can see it in the blog roll?
ReplyDeleteI would pursue another Dr I had to switch to a bigger city with a doctor that would listen to me. I showed her evidence. Told her I thought I had PCOS. Had labs drawn. She knew I was ovulating because my charts and OPKs showed it. But whenever I tested it was less that 15. Meaning crappy ovulation. 10 means sure you ovulated but not enough to sustain a pregnancy. Anyways, the labs showed my levels were off. Then I had 2 miscarriages. I looked back over my own cycles...and realized that I spotted from any where from 7-10dpo and on. Told her this had been normal for me as long as I can remember. This is why I am on clomid. To help me ovulate better eggs. Better eggs longer the corpus luteum will live allowing progesterone to be sustained through early pregnancy. We'll see if it works. I haven't spotted yet, but do have cramping. I hate waiting did I mention that?
ReplyDeleteI had to stop following you as well, you weren't showing up on my dashboard anymore.
ReplyDeleteStill praying for you Jess, and hoping the first response gives you a BFP!!
Did you end up going to L? I was sent there when I went into preterm labor with Oliver, and I have been considering switching, but I really, really want to deliver in BC. I want to actually stay in the room I give birth in, instead of getting shuffled down the line like a factory production. I don't want to go to the hospital where I work cause well, who wants their co workers checking out their vajayjay when they deliver?? Not I!! Plus I plan on keeping it all a secret until about 20 weeks. I kept Oliver a secret for 19.5 weeks or something.
ReplyDeleteSo, what were your signs of PCOS if you were ovulating every month? Was it just the low progesterone?
I did go to L. If you want I will email you which Dr office. I don't like the getting switched around either, but if I have to deal with it so I can have a good doctor...I will. lol and I completely agree with you on the vajayjay comment. Though, they do see it every day...it would probably depend on the person.
ReplyDeleteMy signs of PCOS...I had a wonky period that was 45 days. Neg pregnancy tests. Dr did blood work and my LH and FSH were way over the normal ratio for a woman without PCOS. I do have to wax my lip, I have darker skin around my neck, in my arm pits, and upper inner thighs (sign of insulin problem associated with PCOS). On a side note, I have always had bad cramping with my period. Also, the spotting from a week to a half a week before my period was the other tell tale sign...it meant that my eggs weren't maturing enough to keep away spotting until AF showed up, let alone hold onto a baby.
The only sign I have of it is the spotting. That and maybe the difficulty loosing weight these last several years... Lately I've been having a lot of cramping with AF, but I just thought that was cause I'm getting old, lol. My cycles are almost always 28 days no matter when I ovulate, or if I ovulate. My doc agreed to test my sugar back in May and my cholesterol, then she renigged(?) and didn't order then, just ordered some stupid latex allergy testing. I was POed!! Have you heard of that lab that draws labs without a doc order (they have an oncall doc or something order the test for you)? I have been considering going through them. Are you going to I or S? If I go to L, then I'm going to S!
ReplyDeleteS. I have only found one Dr I strongly disliked. If you wish I will give you the name of the one I see via email. She would require a visit with her to get labs done but would draw up the order with you in the room. You can always have your family dr do the labs too. Good thing about s (maybe all labs? Idk?) Is that you can get your patient id # and the # to call to get your results even if the dr office is closed! =)
