Answer

Finally have data again...been on google so much I ran out before the end of the month. I'm good. 15 weeks now, saw a 3D scan Monday which was very exciting. We were told that they'll confirm at my 18 week sonar but the think it looks like a girl. I am finally getting my energy back, second trimester is waaay better lol! All I have now is constipation, headaches, insomnia and the occasional mood swing:) otherwise I feel good, no bump, just love handles that weren't there before and a butt that's twice as large as it was 15 weeks ago....told Dh that I swear I'm pregnant in my butt cheeks at the rate they are expanding lol

Hi Rebecca, sorry for delayed reply. Been crazy busy!! I'm good thanks. New symptom of the wk is lovely stretchy pokey pains that can be so intense! I think it's ligament stretching.  Sickness has gone but I get a very sore stomach if I eat a big meal. I have a noticeable bump in the evenings but most of it is bloat!! How are you? Xx

So I just started testing with OV tests for this cycle... I got a low fertility, but that's ok!! I don't expect to ovulate until sometime next week! They were super easy to use! But they certainly take forever to read lol and DH walked in on me (mid stream mind you) and goes, " what the heck are you doing!?" I was like I'm taking an ovulation test!! But you scared the pee outta me lol!! I thought it didn't work because nothing happened but then the test icon was blinking!

Answer

Answer

Hi, yes finally heard from the nurse. I did only 1 blood test due to Xmas. She told me I should have done it on CD21 too even if I ovulate later. Not sure why because I thought it would be low anyway b4 OV. My progesterone level on CD29 was only 11 which is quite low, but it was only 1dpo. She said it looks like I hadn't  OVed yet but told her I do OPKs. DHs sperm analysis came back fine so no problems there ...yeah. She wants to start me on a very low dose of chlomid next cycle to shorten everything and hopefully also lengthen my LP. While waiting I started with VITEX and VitB6 this cycle and I'm now on CD23 and had a +OPK yesterday. A week earlier than last cycle so it might be helping...however I was away with work so we could only BD last nite and i think we may have missed it..grr.  Let's see. How are you?

Answer

Hi!! I'm good. Started another cycle of Letrozole. I'm starting it a few days later than normal so let's see if the change works. Dr seemed a bit concerned that it didn't take. Who knows. I'm taking the meds but also not putting too much thought into it. I did start exercising &  eating better so hopefully that will help. :) We will see. How are you feeling? How long before the gender reveal?

Answer

Super TMI question for you ladies!!!!!
For those of you that do (and did) check your CM and also BDed every other day... Were you able to distinguish CM from the baby gravy?? I shower after every time but sometimes I'm like uhhh is this me or him?? Lol OV is approaching next week so I'm not sure! Will start testing with OPKs tomorrow!!!
