[Ladybird6972]

Welcome ladybird to the old farts club, lol.

Good luck with the charting. I recommend a proper thermometer though, it's more accurate.

Any questions just ask.

Most of my tests are back now and all completely normal. Guess thats good. Still waiting on karyotype test. Hope that's normal too as we can't fix that one.

Ha! Love the old farts club! Lol! I won't be able to get a bbt until tomorrow so I hope that don't screw anything up for this cycle. I'm having a weird af this month. Had medium bleeding for one day and now I'm back to spotting! The cramps just don't feel like they usually do. I wonder why?

 

[Tui]

My periods have got lighter and lighter since stopping bcp. Still as long as they are regular it doesn't matter.

A couple of days won't hurt if you can't get a bbt straight away. The main thing is detecting that shift between pre and post ovulation. With some women it is quite subtle, so two decimal places can make all the difference.

Love the house skweek. Very posh. Well done for getting it, such a relief.

 

[Left wonderin]

I'm loving that kitchen ! The green is fab ! How is everyone ... I'm in the boring zone out and waiting for af !! Lalalalalalalala ..... Anyone testing soon ?

 

[Tui]

Just about to ovulate so everyone knows what I'll be doing this weekend......

 

[Ladybird6972]

Bow chicka wow wow!!

 

[Nikki1979]

Skweek- love your house, its awesome. Congrats!!

Welcome ladybird

Leftwonderin - I am 10dpo today. Was thinking of testing tomorrow but had a few spots of red blood when I wiped today. Think I am out.

 

[Tui]

Do you normally spot before AF? Could it be IB?

 

[Nikki1979]

I don't think its IB. I spotted last month for the first time on 9dpo.

 

[Left wonderin]

Ooooh Tui go to it I hope those
Do their job

 

[Stenokat]

Well, ladies, I think I'm out this month. is due Monday or Tuesday. I just checked my CP and it's medium and open.
I have an appointment with my primary care doc on Monday morning, so if hasn't arrived, I'll have them test. I am not very hopeful, though, with an open cervix.

As this is only my first true cycle of trying, I can only imagine the roller coaster those of you who have been trying for months on end have been living. How do you keep ttc from consuming you? I can't stop googling and checking for things.

I hope those of you still waiting to test have positive news soon!!

 

[Tui]

Welcome to the world of ttc I've been trying since January and had a mmc in July. It can consume you if you let it. Just try and be patient as even in your 20s a year is average. It will happen.

Thanks for the encouragement. I'm going to take a dollar store test tomorrow a.m. just to see what it has to say.

That's a whole new addiction. POAS anonymous member starting up here

Last month I took one about five days before was due. This month it will be a day or two. Isn't that improvement? LOL

I'm trying really hard not to become a POAS addict.

 

[Tui]

Yes, well done. I always say I'll wait but come 7dpo I've just got to try ! Ridiculous really.

 

[Left wonderin]

Oooh more poas addicts ! I always say ill wait but like tui come 7dpo I'm itching to try ! Ttc can consume you but the end result is so worth it . I've made such good friends on bnb and would now be lost without them ! Its a rollercoster ride for sure but it helps if you try to keep a positive mental attitude if ya don't get a BFP and the ow arrives , I personally feel sorry for myself for an hour or so let myself be disappointed and swear words appear but then I think mmmm in 12 or so days I get a fresh chance at this so with her she brings a gift of a brand new cycle hang in there girl it WILL happen but try enjoy the ride along the way

 

[Stenokat]

Thank you so much for the encouragement, Left wonderin! If I am out this month, I am vowing to not POAS until after is due next cycle We shall see how well that works out

It's difficult to not want to POAS, though, because I have Hashimoto's thyroiditis and will have to have a med adjustment ASAP after conception.
