O-ing and other concerns

Ugh, waiting to ovulate, what fun. I'm cramping these past 2 days, so I'm hoping that it will happen any day yet. According to my Basal Body temp,it hasn't happened yet. I want those crosshairs already!!!



As you can see by the 'hearts', we've DTD only 3 times. I have been having some issues breathing lately, to the point of nearly passing out. I'm trying to save my breath for the 'fertile' window. LOL... In the meantime, I'm managing my asthma with tons of meds. My asthma/allergist has me on some natural remedies and nasal washes etc, hoping that once I deal with my allergy issues, it will take care of my asthma issues as well. I'm all about natural, especially when trying to get pregnant.

I don't think I've had a cycle with temps this flat before. Will I ovulate? I want to get some OPK's, but last time I took them they were all negative, yet I still managed to get pregnant, however, during that cycle, I had crosshairs on day 15.

I'm also going to talk to my OB tonight about the lump I found and about my temps being in the 96 degree range. I have had my thyroid tested before, and I know it's like 3 tests they compare. Supposedly I've had 1 of the 3 slightly off, but not cause for concern. My mom has hypothyroid and her sister has hyperthyroid. What are the risks with thyroid disease and pregnancy anyway?

Cancer is running rampid in my family. My aunt who has hyperthyroid had breast cancer in her early 30's. Had lots of problems getting pregnant. Cancer went away and came back, then went away and came back again, and then it went away and now is in her spine and has spread to other places as well. It's not looking good. My mom's cousin (who is in her 30's) was just diagnosed with breast cancer and is having a double mastectomy. My paternal grandmother died of ovarian cancer and my maternal grandfather died of prostate cancer.

My aunt had the genetic blood testing done for cancer, and it was in her genes. Her daughter has a 50% chance of getting the cancer. My mom had the test done and she didn't have it in her genes. I do know that 80% of people with diagnosed with breast cancer have no family history. I'm not concerned with breast cancer as much as I am more concerned with just ANY type of cancer. Call me paranoid. Now that I found this lump, I'm just thinking the worst, but hoping for just a cyst.

So far to date, with all the medical issues I've had, I've been diagnosed with just a bunch of 'syndromes'. No diseases. That is good as nothing is thusfar degenerative.

It would help to get myself to a healthy point on my own. By eating the right foods and doing some exercising daily. Ever since I left my job and started the pet sitting thing, I've been lazing around sitting on my butt playing games on facebook all day. LOL!

The weather is nice for once, so begins the walking!

I'd say definitely no O yet. I never got a positive on the ovulation predictors. What I did find invaluable was the Fertility monitor by Clearblue Easy. http://www.clearblueeasy.com/clearblue-easy-fertility-monitor.php
It uses the sticks to analyze it - no comparing the line darkness. For me it more helped me figure out I had a problem than just when I would ovulate. It detects the LH surge and tells you when you are close to O.

Highly recommend. Don't think I still have mine - will look though.

I hear you on the other stuff. Cancer is scary. Glad you're getting checked. The earlier the better.
