<3 <3 LOTS OF LOVE & BFPS <3 <3 February Testing Thread

[Sis4Us]

FX L.Ann.V sending U lots of !!!

 

[Katie Potatie]

Popping in quickly to ask a gross, but frank, question...

Has anyone ever noticed a couple of days after having sex the semen leaking out? Is this even possible? Sex, then dry, then loads of EWCM-consistency stuff draining out a couple of days later?

I CANNOT figure out what this stuff is. It's not fertile cm. It comes in gushes and its sometimes mixed with a little blood. Caused by cysts maybe? It's just sooo much that it seems like it'd be semen. I don't produce much CM in general, so this is throwing me for a loop.

Anyone experience this before??

 

[Katie Potatie]

Welcome to the new ladies!

Kayotic, that bites the big one. Hope your RE appt. goes well though and in a couple days you are energized for a new cycle!

Kira--We understand that. Everyone needs to pull away at some point and disconnect from TTC boards. Totally understandable but glad to see you back and hoping you have a golden egg brewing.

Good luck and positive vibes going out to the girls getting ready to test. I always look forward to watching your battles with POAS addiction!

 

[Sis4Us]

Katie it could be but most of the time the Sperm will become Gelatin like and should be released within 24hrs at most I think!!!

What CD are U?? Plus your body might be a Lil different after the CP!! hope u get that Sticky one soon!!!

 

[Blueshoney]

Keeping my Fx for you L.Ann.V!

Katie-I leak the day after but not a couple days after. It does feel like it kinda rushes out of me though! I think I may start using softcops if only so I am not uncomfortable when it leaks!

Kira-I understand needing time for yourself. I am surrounded by pregnant women in my life! No one knows that I am TTC so sometimes they say stupid sh*& to me telling me I am waiting to long.

 

[Fezzle]

Same- I still get stuff leaking out the next day but not a couple days later.

Sorry about the spotting, Kayotic

I think my best outcome is to ovulate end of Feb/early March- is there a March thread yet? At least I saved some tests in Feb!

 

[kholtmann]

Well ladies, I tested this morning and it was a BFN. I am quite bummed to say the least. I really thought this was my month. I guess not. Now waiting for the witch and to move onto next month. This roller coaster is killing me and I hate what it does to the hubby. Everyone says that God does not give you more that you can take, but I think He overestimated how much I can take.

Big Kholtmann !!!!

I get this - there is an easy way to tell if its cervical mucus or semen. Get a clear cup of water and kind of wiggle your finger in the water to get the stuff off it. If it dissolves, its semen and if it doesnt, its cervical mucus.

[Kayotic]

Thanks ladies. Now its has stopped but I am 14dpo and still no bfp, and I am using early response. I am spotting but thats it. My true day to start isnt until tomorrow, but I know my body, I am out.

I cried on my husband for an hour, snuggled with the kid for a little bit and I am over it.

 

[terripeachy]

What DPO are you kholtmann? Sorry for the BFN. That's the worst!

Good luck today L.AnnV.

Katie-For me, it's either right after or the next morning. We're a PM BD family , so if I don't prop up for a while, it's running out.

Blues-I hear ya on the pregnancy stuff. Everyone keeps asking me if there's a bun in the oven. I tell them two things 1) the seed is planted 2) the first moment I throw up, they will be the first to know.
I'm excited that people are excited for me getting married and most likely planning to have kids, but asking all the time is not.helping.

Fezzle-I may start a March thread, but I wanted to wait until closer to March because I still like to cheer on the Feb. ladies, and then I also feel overwhelmed with more than one thread going. HA!!HA!! And yes, its' all about me today. zoinks. Feel free to start one though. I was just thinking that if I (italicized) started it, that's what I would do, but I'm not pressed to start one. HA!HA!

AFM-I'll preface this by saying that I'm trying not to be a whiner, but I'm getting discouraged. Today is CD12, and I usually have a positive OPK by now. So far, open circles all around. I wonder if the HSG did something and now I'm not even going to ovulate. It's just a little frustrating not knowing what's going on. We're continuing to BD, but *sigh* I'm ready to be in the TWW. And...I feel stupid because I will probably get a jump in temps tomorrow. I just need to be patient.

Same with me, Katie. It will leak out sometime during the next day - always pleasant.

Blueshoney - That's HORRIBLE that you have so many people bothering you about getting pregnant. The majority of my close family & friends pretty much know now so they don't say too much. I have a few cousins in their early twenties who bother me but I feel like they're so far away from having babies that they honestly don't even realize. Still - it's so ANNOYING. My sister-in-law is in her late twenties and is pregnant with her 2nd. She announced her pregnancy right before I had my blighted ovum and it was the first time that I physically became emotionally upset over another person's pregnancy (even though I'm of course so excited to have another niece or nephew). It just stinks that we all have to try so hard!

Terri - I'd definitely just keep on BD'ing. I sometimes don't trust those stupid OPK's. I'm starting on OPK's tomorrow - fingers crossed.

kholtmann, Kira_star, and Kayotic.

 

[Wish4another1]

I have a meeting at 0900 and instead of getting ready - Im reading these threads to try and stay caught up!!!

terri - it is so hard to not get discouraged! I was last cycle when my temps didn't do what I wanted and the timing wasn't what I wanted...but hang in there... and hey nothing wrong with with the hubby anyway!!!
and I was wondering about a March thread - but you are right - it would be hard to keep up with THREE...
I have this inside fear that eventually I will be the only one without a BFP and doing the testing threads myself ... silly huh?

Blues- I too hear you about being asked about pregnancy stuff... my DH's brother has 5 kids and always has a comment about the DH and I not having any yet... "what? you guys not having an sex??" really... yeah this is what we wanted - for it to take years... very frustrating for me and trying to keep the DH from punching the brother (which has happened in the past many times for various reasons

Katie - I am contemplating the soft cups too to keep the "magic juice" where its supposed to be and not running out all over the place... even with a panty liner - it can get messy... but mine usually runs for two days...

to those with BFN... March will be our month...

AFM: Got our new puppy - Addie last night - already has tude!!! she will fit right in... and I tried Apple Cider Vinegar for the first time last night... wow... all I can say is please Lord give us a BFP so I can stop taking it!!! and what is the "mother" in it anyway??

 

[Katie Potatie]

Everyone appears to have woken up on the funny side of the bed this morning. The posts this morning were cracking me up. Thanks for the laughs and the for the responses to my gross semen question.

Kayotic--That's very interesting information about the water test. Thanks! And sometimes a good long cry and a nice pity party are all we need to get the disappointment out of our system. On a side note, you are lucky to have a hubby that allows you to just lay on him and cry! (And a little one to snuggle and love on certainly helps, too.)

Terri--I'm jealous that you usually get your positive OPK on CD 12! How long is your LP then? But don't worry, we can fluctuate by a couple of days some cycles. It's a pisser though. Keep on BD cuz it's probably right around the bend for you. I'm excited to watch your cycle since the HSG.

Wish--Isn't that vinegar the worst?! I hope you don't have to take it for long either. It gave me the runs when I took it for weight-loss years ago. Maybe that's why it was suppose to be good for weight loss!

Kholtmann--So very sorry for the bfn and your spirit being beaten up. Some days can be really emotionally draining, and PMS certainly doesn't help those feelings...It just exacerbates them. Hugs to you.

Fezzle--Digging the sushi ticker.

AFM...Here I was, so smug and confident this month, just thinking my body would bounce right back after the chemical. Nay nay. I have NO idea what cycle day I'm on, I never got a positive OPK, and therefore, I have no clue when AF will be due. Which is FUN! I'm not trying to TTC this month, but being a control freak, I still wanted to know where my cycle was at and see how I'd come along after the chemical. This is the first time in so many years that I haven't a clue when my period will be due, so that's weird.

Have a great day ladies!!

 

[kfs1]

I'm sorry - what's the vinegar trick??

 

[Wish4another1]

kfs1 - my understanding is that the Apple Cider Vinegar (with the "mother") in it - helps your body with the PH levels... so our bodies are not hostile to our man's

if someone else knows more - please add!!

 

[ERosePW]

Katie, I'm the same as some of the others, where I'll have some of it dripping out the next morning, and that's IF it doesnt leak out right away. I dont get it, but sometimes the stuff wants to just roll on outta there right away, and i'm like GET BACK IN. Makes me mad. I think the Preseed just makes it more runny. Maybe I needed the softcups! So Katie, when was the first day you started bleeding? I'd count from there and use that to determine what CD you're on. After my CP in Dec, I didn't O until CD17.

So sorry to kholtmann, Kira, and Kayotic. Hugs to you!!

Terri, I bet you'll get your smiley tomorrow. Maybe it's just gonna be a day later than usual or something. Or who knows... maybe your temp will jump tomorrow and the OPK just missed your surge or something. Another day or two, and I bet we'll know.

Wish, hope you guys are loving the pup!!! (regardless of the tude already, hehe!).

I hadn't heard of the apple cider vinegar thing, but that makes sense... I'd be interested in trying that. I've heard of doing a baking soda douche to neutralize PH, but I wasn't interested in squirting baking soda up my vag. I'll take acidophilus orally, thank you!

AFM, just hanging tight. But not being very patient about it. I'm not handling this TWW very gracefully.
