Aygestin Day 7

I called the doc today about the spotting and the pain.  I was told that the pain was because I had so many follicles.  I was instructed to stop the Aygestin and to call on CD1 which should be in a few days.  Luckily it will be a light one because my lining wasn't very thick.

Looks like the process is going to start back up again quicker than I planned.

Aygestin Day 6

I've been on Aygestin for six days and I'm still spotting.  I'm pretty sure he told me I would spot for maybe 2 days so I'm wondering wtf is up.  The first four days of being on this medicine was horrible.  My pelvis area hurt constantly, not cramps, but like a stabbing, sharp constant pain.  It was awful.  I've not noticed any mood changes and The Hubs hasn't complained about my attitude at all.  Other than the spotting and the initial pain, I've not had any side effects at all.

It's been nice to not have to worry about taking my temperature in the mornings but at the same time I kind of miss it.  I like knowing my body rhythm but I know while on this medicine I'm not going to have a rhythm.

So overall today I'm feeling pretty good.  I might call the doc tomorrow and find out whats up with this spotting. It's really annoying.

My temp dropped to coverline today...right on time.  I'm not even going to waste a test.

I took my first Aygestin pill this morning.  Figured I should go ahead so I don't have to deal with 2 periods, only one within the next 3 weeks.

I'll be on this medicine for 21 days and during that time I probably won't have anything to talk about, unless I have an emotional breakdown which is bound to happen sometime soon.  I've heard the mood swings on this medicine are super awful.  I may be divorced by the time it's all over :)

Enjoy the rest of your July and I'll see you back in August and we'll do this shit again!

So last week I had all those symptoms and Saturday I woke up with all gone but 3.  I still pee a lot, my boobs are still hurting and I got some serious saliva.  I've read that excessive saliva is caused by hormone levels changing so that's why it's common in pregnancy....and I know mine have to be going crazy right now.

I tested at 9dpo and 11dpo and got negative tests.  Saturday morning, which was 9dpo, I started spotting so I just figured AF was on the way.  Now the spotting only happens in the evenings and only comes out when I pee.  My temps are still high.  You can see them here.

I think I'll test tomorrow....I've not made up my mind.  I know it will be negative but I really need to make sure before I start taking Aygestin.   Part of me just wants to see if AF comes and part of me just wants to get this month over with and start fresh.

I wish I had an extra $20,000 so I can just go get IVF done and bypass all this drama!

I caved and tested yesterday..negative.  I woke up today feeling good...pretty much all symptoms are gone except for sore boobies.  This has all happened to me before and it ended up being cysts...so I'm betting all those follicles I had never broke open on their own.

My temp dropped a little today, from 98.5 yesterday to 98.1 today.  I'm curious to see if AF comes on its own. I'll test again on Wednesday if AF hasn't come and if still negative (like I think it will be) then I'll go ahead and start the Aygestin.  If AF does come, I'll start Aygestin anyway just to make sure all those cysts go away so I can start fresh next month.  I'll be on Aygestin for 21 days then AF should come a few days later.  During those 21 days, I'm taking a break from the TTC stress....no temping, no forums, no google searches...just back to normal life.

Side note, I am super excited for Teen Mom season 2 to start on Tuesday!!

Let me whine for a bit

• heartburn started last night.  Off/on today. 
• Hurts when I suck in
• random headaches
• My nipples are sensitive and hurt
• The sides of my boobs hurt
• I have a weird stabbing pain that shoots down to my butthole that lasts for a few seconds.  Ever had someone stab you in the anus?  Yep, that's me
• Peeing more
• Really been wanting plain M&Ms and watermelon...but not together
• Hurts if I push on my abdomen in the center and on the left
• Random bouts of nausea but it doesn't last long
• Left lower back has been hurting for 3 days
• A constant weird feeling in my abdomen.  Not really cramps, not really pressure...I don't know how to describe it
• I thought I was ok with hotdogs for dinner last night but when I started cooking them I totally didn't want it anymore.
• I almost passed out in Walmart last night
• Can't get full
• Sore throat for that last few days that lasts all day
• I'm hot all the effing time

This is just all my mind playing tricks on me right? haha

Hello my name is Crazy!! I'm driving myself nuts!! So many questions with no answers!

Will I have an implantation dip?
Will a period come on its own?
Are all the crazy symptoms I'm having because of PMS, pregnancy or because all those cysts are still in there?

I have a 3 pack of First Response Early Result.  I'm really tempted to take one in the morning....but I'm scared of it being negative because I tested too early.

Even if it is negative, I have to be happy about the fact that I did ovulate without the help of HCG and if AF comes by itself that will be a huge accomplishment!

The good news in all this....my chart looks good and promising :)

Ovulation?

I still have a headache, not a severe one but enough to bother me.  Also, I've been having a lot of twinges and pains on the sides of my abdomen as well as mild low back pain.  Overall I just feel crampy.  OPK this morning was negative so my LH surge definitely was yesterday.  My BBT went up today so if it goes back down tomorrow I'll know that I'm done ovulating.  I'm really really hoping this is it! I'll be testing around July 24th.  The Hubs birthday is the 21st so I might chance it and test early to give him the ultimate birthday present! Unless I have other super crazy symptoms, I won't post again until I test :)  Wish me luck!

Look What I Got

Last night I went to bed with an awful headache and I was so nauseous.  I had mowed the yard about an hour before so I blamed it on my allergies. I woke up this morning to this!

I'm tempted to call The Hubs and tell him there is an emergency so he'll come home.  We need to do it like rabbits! This makes me feel SO hopeful.  I'm super excited! I am 6 days post my last Clomid pill.  My temps don't mimic this +OPK....well at least I don't think so and I'm too lazy to put all the numbers into Fertility Friend to see what it says.

CD21 Doc Appt

I went in for my CD21 check this morning after taking 100mg Clomid CD13-17. My right ovary had 6 follicles ranging from 14mm to 23mm. My left ovary had one follicle measuring 14mm.
Because I have a history of fraternal twins in my family and so many big follicles, my doc doesn't want me to trigger this month....and even said to use condoms for the next week!! What?! What is a condom?! LOL

If I didn't have to have another prescription of HCG to trigger, I think I would do it on my own.  Sure, there would be a huge chance of sextuplets but I'm sick of waiting! 

The plan is to take 75mg Clomid next month and then trigger. Because we plan to trigger next month I can't trigger this month without another prescription. 

I think I'm going to risk it and just have lots of sexy time and hope to ovulate on my own. Maybe my left ovary will be the one working and I'll end up with one implantation instead of 6! 

Also today he did a mucus check like always after we had sexy time this morning...Doc let me see the microscope slide....very cool!! I could see little spermies swimming around in my mucus!  The count looked good considering the high dose of Clomid I was on.  The idea is that if we drop it to 75mg Clomid more sperm have a chance of survival.


He gave me a prescription for progesterone to take for 21 days then I should start a period 2-3 days later.  Well, that is if I don't get pregnant after we have sex WITHOUT a condom this week!
