Sana di maudlot! I am praying intently..
I am 34 years old, got married last year, luckily got pregnant with twins (without any meds) but unfortunately, miscarried at 9 weeks. Almost TTC for 1 year to be exact. With natural conception. Husband, normal count.
Started 3 months ago with Folic Acid 5mg
Started this cycle - Metformin 500mg twice a day, eat a lot of fertility food (like seriously follow this diet) Avocado, Banana, Melon, Brocolli, Asparagus, Spinach, Banana, Oat, Selenium enriched eggs. Wheat bread and brown rice. ZERO Caffeine from Coffee, NO Added sugar (white bread, white rice, ice cream, candies, chocolates and desserts), Soda, Preserved meat (Bacon, Tocino, Hotodgs, Nuggets.. Etc) ang hirap ng diet, narealize ko how unhealthy Filipino diet are. Pero, sa help ng parents ko na dapat nagdidiet na din, nakayanan ko naman ang diet change na yan. Sine I freed myself from Caffeine from Coffee, i resort to Tea. And I felt better.
Exercise - not much, just my daily walking from work.
I weighed 73kg, stand 5'7". Walang weight loss na nangyari. Hahaha. Pero again, I feeling better.
So here's my detailed cycle.. With morning BBT using regular digital thermometer, and Kindra app for charting
Day 01 - Mens
Day 02 - Mens
Day 03 - Mens / Clomifene 50mg lunch
Day 04 to 07 - Clomifene 50mg
Day 11 - Follicle Monitoring (3 follicles 1.6, 1.4, 1.2cms, on LEFT only, Right ovary, tamad, zero follicle. Endometrium 7mm) No additional FSH or trigger shots, I am dead scared talaga sa mga shots.. Swear. Sabi ko pag di umeffect, next cycle Ill braved those needles. Symptoms, cramping lang.. So I think malapit na ang ovulation.
Day 12 to 14 - OPK By Urine LH once a day, and Ovatel salivary estradiol = all negative
Day 13 to 15 - OPK = negative, Ovatel = started to have semi ferning pattern I thought hindi na ako mag ovulate because of small follicles. Pero I have heavy egg white discharge, so parang pwede..
Day 16 - started to have a positive OPK (pero its not really that strong) symptoms - almost 2 hours of excruciating pain like 9/10 pain scale on my left. So I assume that I ovulated nian. And the not that strong lines from OPKs, ok na yun. Iba yung symptoms based diba? About discharge and cervix pala, nagbabase lang ako sa discharge sa undies. No sticking inside. Hahah. Clear discharge at this time. So pak na pak sa ovulation symptoms, BD morning approx 9 hours before ovulation. Tas natulog ako on my left for next consecutive 5 days, naniniwala ako na nasa left talaga ako nag ovulate kaya para matulungan ang mga spermies na dumerecho sa Left tube. Hahaha. After nun flat na ako matulog, baka mastuck dun. Mahirap naman ma ectopic)
Day 17 - 1DPO - Started with Duphaston 10mg TID. Started with Pineapple fruit with core 1 cup (this is supposed to for next 5 days, kaso.. Naderecho ko until 8DPO)
Day 17 to Day 21 - 5DPO - no symptoms.. At all. Except for elevated temp distinct from the first two weeks.
Day 22 - 6DPO - creamy discharge na OA, tapos cramping na wagas. Feeling ko dito na nag implant sa uterus. Yun lang. Walang sore nipple.
Day 26 - 10DPO - nawala na ang cramping, continue si creamy discharge na heavier. I did PT, BFN. Tapos I cried, I almost lost hope. Cramping lang tas wala na eh. Parang di compatible. Lalo siguro at hanap ng hanap ng symptoms. I asked my husband for adoption, or one more try sa Kato na, pero kailangan magipon pa. Sabi niya, iba ang faith niya kay God. Magtiwala lang kami. Sabi ko, magiging masaya naman kung dalawa lang kami, sabi niya, tama.. Pero hindi naman mangyayari yun, kasi mga magkaka anak kami ulit. I slept crying again.
Day 27 - 11DPO - temp checked, continued to go up, aba.. Sabi ko parang ito na ata ang triphasic na pattern. Tapos exaggerated pimples all over my face and body. May parang epigastric upset na. Sore nipples, wala pa din. Kakaasar. Isip ko neto, ang obvious na magmemens na ako, sa pimple ko pa lang na may instant gathering pala. Josko. Hahaha. FMU PT - BFN. Few hours passed, around lunch time, check out ko ulit si PT, OMG. Napatalon ako sa banyo may VERY VERY FAINT LINE. Hyperventilate konti, tawag ko si husband. Confirmed very very faint line. PT ako ulit, shempre BFN at first. Nung gabi, paguwi namin galing date, OMG, meron talagang VVFL again. Pero shempre anjan pa din ang doubts, baka evap line, false positive kasi beyond hours pa ang reading.
Day 28 - 12DPO - FMU. Hindi na sya VERY VERY faint line. VERY faint line na lang. Pero right in the 3-5 mins reading time na sya nag appear. And hindi na kailangan magsquint, tapat sa ilaw or whatever.. Meron na talagang line. Andito pa din si creamy discharge, may onting cramping again, very furious acnes, and guess what.. Andito na si sore nipples and boobs. As in tight bra ako ngayon, pag niloloosen, ouchie talaga. Sabi siguro netong mga boobs ko, antay ka ng antay, lungkot lungkutan ka.. Ngayong meron na, arte arte ka jan. Hahahah. And, I have strange sense of smell na. During my first pregnancy kasi, eto ang very distinct ko na symptoms kaya ako napa PT nun. Heightened sense of smell. As in bad smell lahat except ang smell ng balat ng asawa ko.
Of all the discourages and frustrations and disappointments during the past months, of all the grievances, and broken soul for me.. I am very delighted and still praying for a sticky bun. Theres still a lot of worries, pero I am keeping myself positive with all the prayers. I am still with you with this struggle. May pagka baliw din ako, more than you'll ever imagined me. Hindi mo nga maiisip na OB ako. Sometimes, sa daming alam, mas nakaka complicate. Pero, ayun.. Please take all these wordings from your friendly type A OB TTC GTalker here.
Will be posting more updates.
13DPO bukas..
Baby dusts.. Isang trak!
