OPK- Month 3 - UGH!

[vamomwants3]

over the last 11 years there has been a couple diagnosis. With my son who is turning 11 they said I may have endometrosis because of the painful and clotty periods. I was schedule d for surgery and got pregnant with nmy son. The OB said when she delivered him by C section she didn't seen any endometrosis buy pregnancy can cause it to go away.

with my daughter now almost 7, they said I wan't ovulating due to bbt charting. I tried for 2 years and she never mentioned OPKs to me. I went to the RE and he said after a dye test and checking my ex that my ex had so a low mobility that we needed IVF. I refused and got pregnant anyways.

So truly I have no idea what the issue is now. The opks have been coming back positive and I dont bbt chart because i dont sleep 3 hours uninterrupted so its not reliable.

It's frustrating because its like they never found the issue before because i lucked out. I'm turning 37 in july and am frustrated because my ex who supposedly ws the reason before had a baby almost a year ago with another woman.

Hopefully you'll manage to be that lucky again

update: My period came...I had a 34 day cycle this last month. I am scheduled for the RE on April 2nd. My DH wanted to try the at home semen analysis kit...so I ordered it. We should have that this week. I hope that it comes back that he is ok. We already have alot going on with me. My period ran from sunday to yesterday. They have been very light but I did have one big clot. I know that's disguisting but I was wondering if anyone else has been having this issue.

My periods are always light, and occasionally there are a few nasty clots, but clots don't matter in your period. A clotty period is not the same thing as having a clotting disorder, since clots in your period are just lumps of lining which broke loose but did not break down into small dribbles yet.

Sorry about AF, but glad you're getting in to see the RE so fast!

I'm glad the nasty clotting doesn't seem to be an issue. However my dh's work schedule as of late is an issue. I have a feeling the re is going to say we just on a good schedule. I'm definitely feeling more and more stressed as the months roll on. I got the at home test but it says you shouldn't have had it in 48the hours which isn't an issue or been longer than 7 days.....which it has by quite a few. I guess we won't know those results before our appointment on Monday. Ugh..... this month has been horrible.

I don't know how the at-home test works, but for a standard semen analysis, 7 days is too long too.

[vamomwants3]

The at home supposedly only tells you whether they are at a normal range. He is suppose to be taking the test before monday but we at 12 days and he is working all day and night. My frustration is really starting to set in. He works construction and the co he works for really has no understanding about family time. They are use to him being able to work any hours and not care if he went home bc of his last relationship and then he was single for several years before me.

He'll just have to put his feet down on them

Don't be too upset if this test comes back poorly. At 7 days without ejaculation, a lot of his swimmers will be dead and sticking to each other, making motility really low too.

[vamomwants3]

Well the at home came back as low. But we suspected that. Saw the re and he saw some of his swimmers in there still from the Saturday before. He said a few were still swimming but he wanted to do a post coaital. I posted a new blog for month four. Updates there
