30 yo and TTC #1

[lsd2721]

Thanks owl! I mentioned a few things that were concerning and he didn't seem to be very concerned at all! So...i'll keep going! I'm kind of questioning now whether to continue with the inositol at all because my temps still seem to be jumping around. I thought it was going to mellow that out but it hasn't yet. I'm also taking it for insulin resistance to help me loose some weight (since I still have 10 lbs to loose) which has been going down at a steady pace. I'll continue with the inositol but not sure i'll continue it next cycle (hopefully there won't be! hehe)

Owl, looks like you've got crosshairs again where we think you might have ovulated! I'd give it a couple more days to see what happens! Won't hurt to wait just a bit more.

Mrs. K, any symptoms at all? When do you plan on testing?!

Miskas, temperatures up is always a good thing! Good luck to you this cycle! Have fun in DC! Haven't been there yet, myself; I've always wanted to go!

 

[MrsKChicago]

No symptoms. A little heartburn, but we had Italian for lunch. I'll test tomorrow, if not tonight when I get home - spent last night with a friend in Indiana so couldn't test.

Hi,

was hoping I could join your group...Im 32, and me and my partner have been TTC ing for 9 months now...

Currently on Cycle day 1 of our 10th cycle....

Hope you're all doing great and hope I can join you in your journeys �� xx

 

[DosPinkies]

Welcome curvy and sookie! Glad you're both joining our little group!

Gl, MrsK! I've gotten good at not testing but this cycle, I'm betting that's not going to happen. I'm only 6dpo and I'm already jonesing to pos! Pls let us know as soon as you test!

Miskas, we can test together if you'd like since we're the same dpo! Do you have a plan as to when you test for the first time? I can't decide when to test.

As for me, spotting has not returned. It literally lasted like 3 hours. I keep arguing with myself as to whether or not it was IB. I thought - maybe it's from the hsg, because I did bleed quite a bit from that on the same day. But that was almost 2 weeks ago, so unlikely I think. Right? Weeeell, to add to the IB side of the coin, I think I felt twinges this morning in my ovary/surrounding area, and maybe a little mild cramping in my lower back. Sometimes my kidney hurts and I thought it might have been that, but it really felt more like lady cramps - just super light. Ommmmggggg, I have been so much better about symptom spotting lately, but when your body is doing honestly different things, how do you not?!

 

[MrsKChicago]

That all sounds really exciting to me! I don't think you'd be bleeding from the hsg 2 weeks ago.

I just tested negative, but it was a short hold, only about 90 minutes. Trying not to get hopes up now, since my odds aren't too high.

 

[MrsKChicago]

Ok, so how's this for funny? You know how I said I don't have any symptoms this month even though I normally do? Especially when I'm just a few days from AF starting... Just did a comparison of this cycle and last cycle:

My body must be having fun messing with me this month.

 

[lsd2721]

Dos, that sounds so exciting! Good luck! If definitely couldn't have been blood from your hsg two weeks ago unless maybe the blood was a dark brown?! Chart looks good, symptoms sounds good, you have a great chance! Fx!

Mrs K, different symptoms sounds like a good thing! 11dpo is still pretty early so good luck!

 

[MrsKChicago]

Negative this morning, too. Guess I'll know for sure in a couple days, but it isn't promising.

 

[curiousowl]

Aw, sorry about the BFN MrsK. I'm hoping it's just still too early! Keep us posted. The symptoms do sound interesting.

Dos, that sounds super exciting! Fingers crossed.

Fingers crossed for you as well Miskas. Hopefully you get a BFP to take on vacation with you instead. And have fun in DC! Let me know if you need any recommendations or anything. I haven't lived here too long but we have been exploring.

Welcome Sookie

That makes sense about the inositol lsd. I wouldn't worry too much about your temps being rocky also. I feel like there are soooo many things that can affect them. You know you're Oing and that you can get pregnant. If your doctor's not worried then you're right, just keep at it!

As for me, my crosshairs seem to be sticking around where I would have put them. And my temp was back over the coverline this morning. I'm refusing to get too excited though, my body has tricked me before. Also, I had the transvaginal ultrasound at (theoretically) 2dpo. I told the tech that I hadn't O'd since I went off the pill. She didn't say anything so now I'm wondering if there's anything she should have been able to see at 2dpo to know that I O'd? Maybe not though. In any case I swear my boobs are sore this morning. I'm assuming I slept weird but fingers crossed.

 

[JCM]

Welcome to the new ladies!!!
Dos, I'd be peeing every morning! Lol sounds like IB to me....I think I might be a little more impatient than you though! When will you test?
MrsK funny about your symptoms comparison. I think my month is completely opposite of last month too. I haven't been paying too much attention as of this morning though because I feel a kidney infection coming on. Yuck. Takes my mind off the tww! We find out hubby's sperm results this Friday and then we can decide on iui or ivf. Yay! Progress. I was hoping I would just be pregnant this month and we could bypass all of the fertility specialist stuff but it's not looking good for that! Oh well. Clomid here I come!
Lsd, did you start with your monitor? How are you liking it? I always bought my test sticks through amazon. They were the cheapest I could find for that thing!

 

[MrsKChicago]

Starting to feel a little like PMS is starting. My back is sore, and there's a little pink streak in my CM too, and I think it's more likely the start of spotting than implantation bleeding, at this point in my cycle.

JCM, I hope you get good results Friday.

 

[DosPinkies]

I'm sorry, mrs k. :\

Jcm, I think I've decided on 10dpo. That's still a little early, but reasonable given I may have had IB on 5dpo. Sooo, Thursday. I'm not sure I'll make it. I'm already dyyyyyying. I just don't want to ruin my hopefulness with seeing a bfn if I don't have to.

 

[MrsKChicago]

Hmmm... Little bit of spotting now is pale pink, not red, and CM doesn't have that beige tint it gets when AF is coming. I guess it might be IB? I hate waiting...

 

[DosPinkies]

I take it back. I don't think I can wait until 10dpo! I'm sitting here considering testing with a FRER tomorrow on 8dpo with FMU. Is that too crazy early? It's really early but if it was IB, tomorrow will be 3 days later. Still too early? I don't want to waste a FRER, but I reaaaaaally wanna poas! Ah!

MrsK, I'm glad there's hope! Fx for you!

 

[MrsKChicago]

Do you have any cheaper tests? How many FRERs do you have? I wouldn't use my last FRER at 8dpo, but if I had an extra I might go for it. And if I had any cheaper tests, no question!

Edit: But I'm really bad about testing too early, so maybe I'm not the best judge. 10 dpo is the latest I've ever started testing

 

[lsd2721]

If it was me I would test! LOL But I don't get as upset so if you think you will get upset, don't test until late as possible! But you can test and know that it is early so even if it is negative you still have a great chance of a positive! So I'd say test! But only if you won't get too upset!

Mrs K. 13 dpo is still possible for IB! They do say it's a bit late but that it can happen.

 

[JCM]

Ooooohhhhh Dos I think you should test with a cheap one! Save the good one for when you are late. I do actually get a little bummed out when I test too early but then I think "it could be too early to detect" and I go back to my usual obsessing.
MrsK fingers crossed its a late IB! My girlfriend had her IB at 11dpo and she just assumed it was her period. (She wasn't trying) went on vacation and came back really sick. Turned up pregnant!

Anytime I've tested way early and got mad at the bfn I had a small glass of wine and a cookie. Lol that usually settles me down! I'm so excited! Praying for you girls!

 

[DosPinkies]

Weeeell, I tested with my bigboy FRER (because I happen to have 3 right now, so I justified it in my head), and a big ol' negative. I'm telling myself it was way too early, but I can't help but be a little discouraged. I did the research though - 65% of pregnancies that test at 8dpo come back as a false negative. By 10 or 11dpo, it's pretty much the other way around, so I just need to chill. I get too discouraged at only seeing 1 line, so for me, I just shouldn't test early. Maybe I'll have DH hide my tests. It works with cookies, so why not? (;

 

[Miskas mommy]

Dos, It so HARD not to Test isnt it!! I dont have any right now or i would be so tempted to!!

So yesterday i had 2 random spots of blood (light pink).. then nothing more?? So bizarre.. i was thinking maybe IB? then this morning my temp dropped.. we will see what it does tomorrow.... I'm trying not to think about it... haha..

Owl I forgot you are in DC! we are doing the touristy bit... but we did get tix to the white house, so that will be cool

Hoping we get a BPF to take on Vaca not AF!!

But its going to be tough if we do, we are going with my parents who Dont know we are TTC.. and it will be a bit tough to explain why i cant drink, not that i drink much, but my mom and i are margarita drinkers....

 

[lsd2721]

Dos, sorry it was negative, but it is still VERY early! Fx for you! I really hope this is your month!

Miskas, good luck! I have been told one drink is not bad during the tww (my DOCTOR said that!). Fx for you as well!


Well, by the looks of it I'm going to be on this tww by myself unless we can you get you, Owl, ovulated or ovulate in the next week!

The past three days on my chart are all around the same temp...so that gets me excited a bit and thinking the inositol might be working just took a little while to get into the system! No more sporadic temps hopefully!
