26 yr old TTC #1...Anyone wanna be buds?

[ErikaJo85]

Bookity, I used preseed last cycle but we didn't do the deed when I got a +OPK because we were so busy. Also, I think we were doing it too much before I got a + that it felt forced and like a chore by the time the + came. So this month we tried to hold off for 5 days before I got a +. I heard that worked for some people.

As for temping, I wake up at random times every day lol. Anywhere from 7:30-10:30 am. SOOOOO I think temping would be a huge inconvience. If I am not preggo by Mayish, maybe I will start temping.

Lilly, the fight is over haha. I think he is just stressed at work and he lectured me over a text message and I just blew it WAY out of proportion. Can't read peoples emotions over technology!

 

[Bookity]

I hear ya. DH and I didn't DTD last night because the mood just wasn't there. Even though I haven't seen a temp shift yet. Unless I have and my temps are screwy. Figure this cycle is out of my hands now. What will be will be.

What I try and have heard is pretty effective, is to BD every other day when you get close to O, when you get your positive opk , then every day until your temp shifts. You could probably do the 2 days after opk if you aren't temping.

 

[ErikaJo85]

I know how that goes...I feel like you both have to be in the mood and not be forced.

I am leaving in 7 days for vacation so I started packing today! YAY! I leave for my vacation and af is due the same day but I am not going to get too excited as I feel completely normal right now. So I am guessing I won't be preggo on my trip, which I guess is ok....

Of course I am still hoping it will be a BFP

Ahh..texts fights are the worst. Especially when you can't text an angry response fast enough for their first rebuttal.

We got into a text fight a few days ago and during those times I get into a mood where I'm like "do I even want a baby, seriously with this kind of stuff going on?" I hate those feelings.

I hope you get your BFP too.

Have fun on your vacation.

I hope I get a BFP too, but I don't feel very optimistic.

Let's get positive ladies! I don't feel very optmistic either. It is hard to be after 7 months of negs

I hope it is all of our turns soon. I see babies EVERYWHERE!
Do you guys too? I log on facebook and I see babies every time I look at my news feed.

Aw, I totally remember that feeling when we were ttc dd. I pray you get your bfp soon.

 

[ErikaJo85]

Happy Monday!!!!!

 

[Bookity]

Happy Monday to you!

 

[ErikaJo85]

How are you guys this Monday night? I cannot wait until Saturday (Trip day and AF day!)

haha

Hope you both have a great week

 

[Bookity]

Pretty good here. Went to bed early, woke up when DH got home, I need to go back to bed. DD went to bed early and I think she might be up sooner than usual as well. Still temping, part of me is hoping I'll see a triphasic chart soon. Fingers crossed!

 

[ErikaJo85]

Do you just temp or do you use OPKs? What helped you when you got pregnant DD ???

I am just using OPKs. I wake up at random times so temping would be so hard for me.

The month we conceived I did temping, opks, and preseed. I think temping is great for preparing to ttc. Otherwise it just tells you that you ovulated and then it's too late. But I kept temping for weeks, watching to make sure they stayed high.

 

[ErikaJo85]

I think I would get discouraged and be like I am done if my temps weren't high. haha.

We used preseed twice while bding this month. We just sorta went for it and if the mood was right we did it. I didn't want it to feel forced anymore. Seriously it was the best bding we have had this month. Maybe that will make a difference? Even though it was 2 days before I ovulated (I believe). Hahaha

Well I had a chemical the month before. My period was like 5 days late and I took a test, got a FAINT positive, but for some reason didn't feel too excited. Took my temp the next morning and they had taken a big fall, that afternoon AF arrived. I read that temps should stay high due to increased progesterone during pregnancy, so it was like my 'am I still pregnant?' paranoia. It was the only thing I could do to assure myself that all was still well as I was virtually symptomless until around 8 weeks.

That is excellent timing. I love preseed! I think it's soooo much better when it doesn't feel like a chore. I was actually really relaxed the month we conceived DD. I think because the chemical was a sign to me that these things CAN happen and I felt very confident it would happen again (only sticky), I just didn't realize how soon.

The last time we BD was 2 days before as well. I did search charts on FF and found one where the last BD was 2 days before O and there was a BFP at the end. So we're not out of this one yet! Best of luck!

 

[ErikaJo85]

Yay. Thanks for sharing your stories It is nice talking to someone who has had a BFPs. I have never had one ... I am going to be optimistic that it will happen soon. I was so nervous I would never conceive that I e-mailed psychic gail that everyone on here talks about lol. My DH was sooo mad. hahahahaha. I kept telling him it was all in fun! Gail predicted I would have a boy before the end of 2012 and another boy would be conceived in 2013. We shall see! It gives me something to look forward to BUT if it doesn't happen I will be devastated.

What is your DDs name??

 

[Bookity]

I'm glad you enjoy the stories. I am not really a fan of psychics, but that sounds really cool and I hope that you get your little boys.

I think it would be really cool to have a boy this time around. Of course, it would mean buying more stuff. I kind of went girl crazy when pregnant w/ DD so carseat & stroller aren't unisex. Of course lots of people still come up to me in the store or wherever and call my DD a "he". I don't get it. She's surrounded in pink!

 

[ErikaJo85]

I am not either! I just was desperate to find out if I will have children. LOL. Thanks

I would totally go girl crazy if I was having a little girl!

So what did you feel like before you got your BFP? Did you feel like AF was coming? That is what I feel like. I feel my backache and sore ovaries like usual!

 

[Bookity]

I had very few symptoms. Around 7dpo I had a funny twinge of pain in my fervid that came and went. Then I had sore nips and very heavy bbs. I have heard that pregnancy and premenstrual symptoms can be very similar. Don't give up hope yet!
