Confused about DH PLEASE HELP

Tue, 18 Nov 2008 15:30:33 -0600

So Dh wants a baby just as much as I do, but when I bring up the idea of BD'ing he gives me excuses. I've asked him about it, and he just tells me he's tired or doesn't feel like it. I don't ask him all the time, but I tell him the days that are best to BD and when I should O so that he's in the loop. Am I putting to much pressure on him? I thought he wanted this too. I'm very confused and little upset that we're not BD'ing when we should be. I feel like we're wasting time. Any advice or suggestions? Thanks

Pregnancy Symptom Help from Anyone?

Fri, 14 Nov 2008 18:04:13 -0600

My LMP was on October 17 and it was normal. Around my time of ovulation October 29 - November 2, my boyfriend and I had sex cause we've been trying to conceive. We did it Oct 29 and I noticed a really heavy white discharge coming out of me.

On November 6 I went to the doctor, I was about 3-6 days past ovulation. She had me take a blood HCg test which came out negative. I thought this was too early to test cause it hadn't been a week yet. So I'm not sure if I should rely on this an confirm that I'm not pregnant.

Since then I've been noticing shooting shocks on the right side of my lower back and I'm getting cramps only on the right side as well. Sometimes on the left but rarely. The white discharge went away until recently.

My AF is due between today and Monday (my periods are 28-31 days apart). The past 3 or 4 days I've noticed the white discharge has come back. When we had sex tonight the white discharge was thick and very white...I've been weepy (with stupid stuff on TV and I cried so much during sex tonight...Like Niagara Falls!)...I feel bloated and nauseated, but not vomiting.

Are these good signs of pregnancy?

BTW...It's not a yeast infection or urinary tract infection cause the doctor checked for those as well...So negative on those :)

The creamy white discharge is not smelly and it's not itchy.

Thanks

Negative blood test and positive hpt.

Fri, 07 Nov 2008 11:26:40 -0600

Here is my HPT from this morning:

I went in for BW yesterday. My rusults cam back as less then 5 for HCG and at 7 for pergestrone. When I had my bw for progestrone (o detection) I was at 15.

Why or how in your opinion could I get a + hpt but not be pg. This is my second one. She said my progestron droped, but not down to 0 which is from a possible cyst and may be causing a false + on a HPT.

Please help make light of this question in better hope that nobody else has to question this too. It was kinda embarrassing to be happy and post my + only to hear this from my RE.

I was at a 15 on cd23 for bw and droped to a 7 as of yesterday. She said If I were indeed pg progestrone would not have drope, but would have gone up.

So with it droping but not to a 0 what does this really mean?

I could not find any answers on google...

I am not sure if you can help with this but we'll see... I have been having some pain "down there." I am a 22 year old, healthy, female. I decided to look and feel around in the nether regions to see what what was going on... I've been feeling the pain for a couple days. I came across a lump underneath the skin on the left side of my vagina. A little above and to the left of the clitoris. It feels oval -ish in shape...there is an end part...I can feel the middle...but then I cannot find the other end... as if it extends to parts I cannot feel...like a vein that has an end to it...and that end is swollen. I can feel a pain when I put pressure on it. Do you have any idea what this might be? I have never experienced anything like this. I have never had any medical problems. Thank you. Write back soon.

im a lil confused about what my RE's doing?

Thu, 16 Oct 2008 20:47:51 -0500

i was on clomid for 7mths with my previous doc without any success. so im now seeing an RE and he is giving me femara and doing IUI this. he told me after my hsg that he would do injections bc i was on clomid for so long without success. well i called the online pharmacy he called in femara and novadrel(spelling?)hcg and some sort of gel(not sure what kind).

anyway, my question is why would he give me femara when ive already been on clomid for 7mths? this is my first iui...will this increase my chances with the femara?

thanks

Combined Protocol ... Any suggestions!?!?!?

Thu, 02 Oct 2008 13:00:18 -0500

These are the doctors suggestions:

We've decided on a combined protocol...

CD1 - Call doctor to inform him AF is here.

CD2 - Baseline B/W

CD3 thru CD7 - Clomid 150mg

CD8 - General U/S (RE loves seeing the fact that my follicles dont grow)

CD9 thru CD12 - (2) 75iu of Gonal-F a day.

CD12 - Start using OPK

CD13 - U/S to measure follicles for any growth.

RE doesnt really think this will work (since Ive been on clomid for so long) but i wanna give it a try and DH insist this will work. He said if this doesnt work they i have to stop being stubborn and do the full injection cycle :-(

Love my RE. He's very patient with us.

***The Twist: the tricky part is that he is not giving me a HCG injection with the combined protocol. He says that Im too tiny and young(like i didnt know that) and DH has a very good sperm count so he doesnt want to many babies in their.

Sorry for this being so long... question is... since i ovulate on clomid but my folllicles dont get big, will the FSH injection help? even without the HCG?

He said start OPK on CD12, when i used clomid 100mg on cd3-7 i dont ovulate until cd21 and when i do it on cd2-6 i O on cd16, so will the fsh earlier if combined with clomid in a higher dose?

They is driving me nuts.

Please help!!!

Confused about what is happening!

Tue, 23 Sep 2008 19:02:09 -0500

Hello!

I'm 25 years old and my husband (he's 28) and I have been trying to conceive since March this year. I came off the pill (monofeme 28) at the beginning of February.

I tried doing the CM thing but I could never be sure if it was my fluid or his (!) and the temp charting never really made any pattern.

I also tried ovulation predictor kits but even though AF has always been like clockwork (28 days exactly) and I follow the instructions exactly, I never got the second line to show I was ovulating, so I presumed I wasn't and we just decided to try forget about it and see what, if anything, happened by itself.

AF was a week late in early August (totally unheard of for me) so I went to the Dr and had a blood test done. It came back negative.

It's now 8 days late again, (first day of last LMP was 22 July, it's now 24 September) and I have a really queasy stomach. I feel kind of sea sick and the slightest thing makes me want to throw up. This morning I even threw up water.

I have also had very light cramping on and off since AF was due in August.

I don't know whats going on. Do cycles just randomly change? Could I have gotten pregnant since mid August despite not having had AF since 22 July? Has anyone else had anything like this happen? Does it sound normal?

I just went to buy a pregnancy test on my way home but I can't find my money card! And I am so scared of getting another negative - I dont want there to be something going on with me that I don't understand

Thanks for reading this far - any ideas or help would be great :-)

Should IUI be then next step for us?

Sun, 14 Sep 2008 13:10:10 -0500

My partner and i have been TTC for 20 months with no luck.we have been for test and they have all came back 'fine' apart from the fact that my partners sperm count fluctuates. We are now considering IUI. What is the success rate? considering our problems do you think that its the best next step for us?

Question for the Doc's...

Thu, 04 Sep 2008 11:32:46 -0500

I think my re is a nut job. My husbands sperm count came back at 12.46. We had a natural iui done and the doc said that she if she would've known we we've went straight to ivf. Does that sound right to you? I know iui are helpful for low sperm counts anyway!

I was thinking the best route to go would be clomid ( i do however ovulate on my own) for me and herbal supplements for him?

Positive OPK's and no BBT rise... what is going on? Please help!!

Sun, 31 Aug 2008 14:09:29 -0500

Hi there, I am on CD 18, having taken clomid 150mg on cd 2-6. I was so excited to get a OPK+ on CD 15, as I have pcos and usually don't ovulate untl cd 35-40 at the earliest. However, i am charting my temps correctly, and have had no rise in BBT yet, although I am still having ewcm. I did another OPK today (cd19).. I know you're not meant to test again after your first positive, but I wanted to know what wasw happening. So the OPK today was positive again. I don't think I have ovulated yet. What is going on? Has anyone else had OPK+ and not ovulated/seen rise in BBT? Thanks for your help!!

Fri, 08 Aug 2008 13:56:30 -0500

Hey Dr Q. Well we checked follicle size on25th (21mm) we had sex 26 and 27th, went back on 30th ultrasound showed i had realeased egg.(I cramp when i ovulate and spot, that happend sunday 27th evening). On 30th i started prometruim, and today aug8th neg. pregnancy test, how did we miss? everytime we have tried to get preg. i got preg that month just couldnt carry to term, now i have re and meds but it didnt take this time just wondering some reasons why? Or could we have tested to early, the nurse said no we would haeve seen something by now. I thought you could implant up to 12dpo and then it took a few days to make hcg.

I would just now be 12dpo could i still be preg and it just not show up? they told me to quit taking my prometruim and i should start my peroid. thank you so much for your time, i dont know what i would do without this sight.

Help! OPK's - Are these positive

Tue, 22 Jul 2008 18:05:59 -0500

To wait or not to wait????

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 18:04:31 -0500

Ok so we are ment to be on a break for 3 months while we sought out mine and my fiancee's fertility issues and weight. So after I had chemical last cycle I had the b/c injection only to discover a wk or so later that it was a bad batch and had been recalled (so didnt work)

I have pcos and endo, so dont usually o without help of clomid. Anyway I did a opk jst for fun to see if I would o and the very 1st one I did this cycle came up +. We decided not to take advantage of the + and used protection over the next few days. Besides for one very passionate night (oops).

Anyway Im now like cd40-45 (really sure as wasnt monitoring cycle this month) and think its been like 20-23days since the +opk and I still have no af.

I did hpt last wk to only get a faulty test so went to gp to ask for a beta and he did another hpt which was neg. I saw him again yday as he said to give it a wk and if not af then we would start meds to bring on af so I could start b/c pill for the nxt 2months. We I saw him and told him still no af and now he wants t leave things for another 2wks till I see my new gyno (changing so all our doc's can wrk together beta). Im not sure if I want to wait tho. I mean until af comes Im gonna be wondering if I am infact preg and we jst tested to early but then Im to scared to do another hpt. I had a pretty bad fall yday and now my fiancee is worried if I am preg then could I of hurt the baby from the fall and the xrays (I did tell them that I had a chance at being preg as af was late).

So my question is should I

A. wait to see gyno to find out why af isnt here?

B. demand a beta so I can know for sure if preg or not?

C. demand to start meds to bring af on so can start b/c if not preg?

D. If I was preg what type of demage can an xray do to a preg?

ovulation???

Sat, 14 Jun 2008 19:59:15 -0500

Hello Everyone,

I guess I'm just sharing my recent experience with you, I'm a little confused and trying not to get too down about it. This month as some of you might remember I couldn't do meds b/c after last month's cycle I had 3 cysts. My doc told me to still try to use OPKs at home and do timed intercourse. Dr. Q and things I have read on line say that one might not even ovulate with cysts but I guess it could depend on the size and other variables. So I felt a little helpless thinking I might not ovulate so I turned to acupuncture, which I really do enjoy and it is helping me to relax and giving me hope and making me feel like I am able to do something. I am still doing opks at home. I got really excited because I started to get a light line telling me that I would get the surge soon. Then when I tested yesterday the line completely went away. I got the light line for two days in a row on a few different tests b/c I'm trying to see if the cheap ones work too so I know it wasn't just a bad test since I used a few different ones and got it a few times. So now yesterday and today--NOTHING!!!! The line has completely disaperared. HOW DID THIS HAPPEN???? HELP :O( So we did bd but I'm really confused. Guess I just have to hope that either I get a BFP or that AF shows quickly so I can start another cycle. Can't wait for my next acupuncture apt. so I can relax again :O) Lots of luck to everyone!!!! Thanks for listening/ reading :O)

Symptoms after IUI

Fri, 13 Jun 2008 07:56:00 -0500

Hi..My LMP was May 29th and i underwent IUI on June 10th. This time, I feel everything went right and really really hope that I have already conceived. The doc started me on Duphaston from the day of IUI for 8 days. I have been feeling a lot of breast tenderness right on 2nd DPO and now have even had a pimple on the face which I usually get when I am going to get my period. I want it to work for us desperately this time, but am scared if this is just another failed attempt for us. Can you guide me if these symptoms indeed can mean that it has not worked for me?..I am suffering from hypothyroidism (controlled on Thyronorm 100 mcg) and PCOS ( have undergone ovarian drilling in November last year).

Thanks.
