Al335003 Welcome and maybe joining us will bring you a little luck

 

[taurusmom05]

welcome al33!! happy to have you here with us! hope this is your lucky cycle!

just coming by to check on everyone! nothing new here... just waiting on my OPK to turn positive! this is my first month using them, even tho we are on cycle #6!

lots of baby dust to everyone!!!

 

[ginny83]

Well I think I'm 2 DPO, so that means I'm jumping back to the Feb group since I'll be testing on 28th Feb!

If this cycle is unlucky I'll end up testing in March anyway, so I'll hang around anyway and hopefully see lots of BFPs soon

 

[LalaR]

Please could you change my test date to 15th March or even tbd. Unfortunately my preg tests are still positive after the chemical and my temps are still up so no sign of AF yet. No hope of me ov'ing tomorrow as previously predicted! Boo.

 

[DBZ34]

OK - so I'm getting negative OPKs now, so i'm guessing my surge has finished!

My temps have gone up a little bit over the past couple of days, but still no spike or crosshairs. Is this normal for temps to rise slowly after O? This is my first cycle temping so I'm not sure what to expect

No not usually...If you have a moment, look at the ovulatory charts on Fertility Friend to get an idea of what it's supposed to look like. Or click on the charts in the signatures of some of the ladies around here. When you ov, you should get a pretty noticeable rise or at least .3 degrees...in Celsius, it looks like you need around a .2 degree rise.

Maybe it's taking longer, because you had a long surge, with all those positive opks. But I would make sure you keep BDing, in case you haven't ov'd just yet...Maybe you'll see the spike tomorrow.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you though. I'm straddling the Feb and March threads at the moment, so I'll keep an eye out for good news on both! Good luck!

Hi ladies! Do you mind if I join too?! I'm out this month - no af yet but I'm sure it's on the way and BFN at 14 dpo yesterday. But I'm looking forward to getting the next cycle started and hoping March will be my month!!

I should be testing around March 18th (Mothers Day - how amazing would that be!)

Thank you!! x

 

[al335003]

Thanks for the good luck wishes Abby75 & Taurusmom05!! I followed the February thread all last month so I feel like I know most of the ladies on here!!

I plan to chart my bbt this month (which I haven't done before) and to used opk to help pinpoint ovulation (I took a break from this in January and February). I guess I'm just trying to have everything ready for my 12 month appointment with ob/gyn so hopefully he will have to take action and just not suggest I wait and chart for a couple months... Of course I'm secretly hoping for a BFP so I dont even have to deal with all of that!!!

How about you ladies? Has anyone seen their doc before the 12 months of trying was up? And what did he/she tell you/do?

Hi al,
I saw my GP after 7 months, but thats because she said if nothing happens in 6 months to see her again. I think she said 6 months because I am almost 36 so no time to waste here.

I have also been refered to a fertility specialist. I will be seeing her again tomorrow for a follow up appointment where I will be getting my results from the cd3 blood tests, ultra sound scan and HSG scan.

lizlovelust - I totally see a line there! Have you retested??

al335003 - Welcome! :wave: I saw my doctor at 6 months because there are some healthy problems in the family. Personally I'm ok but she's just a bit wary. I was referred to the maternity hospital but my appointment isn't until March next year!!

taurusmom05 - Same. Waiting for the OPKs to turn positive too but not expecting it until next week.

Lau_316 - What a perfect day to test! Hope it's lucky for you!

I saw her at 8mo TTC and she says if it didn't happen she would put in the referral to a FS because it would take 3 months to get an appointment with him. Which she was right! I saw him right before 12 months then I was off to testing!

ICs are great from POAS addicts like me but I didn't get my positive with them just on the FRER and Digital! So definitely do FRER!

 

[karry1412]

Ah Liz, sorry to hear that. Let us know how you get on with the other test

Helloooo MARCH Maddness!!!!


Sending a warm welcome to all the new joiners AL335003 and LAU_316 hoping this is OUR month! I am so sorry that some of you are here from January/February thread!! GL FXD!


CRYSTAL5483 You are right, I definitely use BnB as an outside of DW support system....


ABBY75 Thanks for your kind words, you're right, AF is due in 2 days so I could technically still be in this


ANNIE77 Thank you so much for your words and thoughts, and don't uncross those fingers, I'm less hopeful, but I know that sometimes someone else's FXD can make the difference


KARRY1412 Thank you so much for your kind words, it has meant alot and helped me quite a bit!


BBEAR690 that sounds like old blood, and that is common at this stage and some women get spotting during OV so hang in there Hun!


LIZLOVELUST that OPK isn't super dark actually, not positive at all, HOWEVER, that HPT below has a hint of a line, I would say, wait about 2 days and test again.


ELLIS0498 Thank you so very much for your kind words yesterday I totally needed them yesterday. Was a hard day and having the supporting words you wrote helped me tremendously, more than you realize I am sure. Thanks sooo much Hun!


>>>On 8DPO end your post with a little SS (symptom spotting) to help everyone here as we all go through the TWW...



AFM... CD29/14DPO: After a very hard and difficult day, I am back with a new goal. Our Angel's date has now passed, we conceived in May, so we are hoping now to have a dark pink sticky BFP by May! I am feeling AF symptoms, including the achy bbs but more cramping, AF is due in 2 days, there is still a chance for a late BFP, however, I am doubtful of that today. Just hoping not to have a cycle like the last which was well over 40 days. I am still a little sad, but my dedication is holding me higher than I was yesterday. I am now working towards a new TTC focus. Thank you ladies that said a prayer, had me in your thoughts, and left me kind words

Oh, my last post yesterday was #3000!!!!

Thanks for the info... I'm gonna call the doc today and at least make an appointment... Then I'll feel like I something to work towards.

I've been temping this month and my temps have been so erratic. But no joke the past week EVERY SINGLE NIGHT i wake up like 5 times a night so is it safe to assume my temps aren't really correct??

 

[lizlovelust]

Thanks MrsMM24

 

[Abby75]

Haj624, so long as the temps are taken at the same time, before doing anything else and after a 3 hour block of sleep then it should be fine. If it is too erratic then vaginal temping is said to be more accurate.

See my issue is i don't think I'm getting a 3 hour block of sleep. I'm up like every 2 hours. With terrible hot flashes also!! And its never at the exact same time...blahhh so it probably isnt accurate
