46 BFPS and Counting -TTC Lucky Support Thread - newbies welcome!

I'm sorry Texas, though I hope that AF doesn't arrive and it's just a wacky temp.
Bee: I actually think that constant high temp is good, at least you are way above coverline and that signals (says a fertility book I sorta read, focused on temping) that your progesterone levels are probably very good

Squirrel: I understand why you would want to do IVF and I think you and DH should do whatever feels best. I don't understand the whole "enjoy the two kids you have part", as if you don't? What the hell?
It's just really uncalled for, and I'm sorry you had to go through that. I hope that you soon have some answers dear

Afm: look at the attachment (and my creepy thin finger :") )

Blabla, that is fabulous! Xx

 

[squirrel.]

Blabla: congrats on the 3+ Now relax and stop testing

Bee: you totally get it. You're right, hitting that year mark is so difficult. According to this forum we're now LTTTC I always saw that forum and felt sad for the women there just by seeing the title, but never thought I'd one day actually belong there with how easily the other two came along (and I was so grateful for how easily they came along, I didn't take it for granted ever). I really hope your HSG goes well and that your tubes aren't an issue. The afterwards I hope you're able to push for intervention. In the meantime, here's to both of us getting a BFP before we need any assistance!

Texas: I'm really sorry your temp dropped. It's such a gut wrenching feeling when you see the thermometer and it's gone down hope it's just a temporary dip and AF stays away.


So appointment booked for the 29th. They only had day time appointments left for the next three weeks, so I booked that one and will have to go with my husband as there's no one to watch our kids during the day. I filled out all the paperwork last night and that felt quite exciting. Now I'm just trying to look ahead. Oddly enough, I'm not too worried about next cycle now seeing as I know help is on the horizon. It would be amazing to get pregnant on my own next cycle, but if I don't, it's not the end of the world.

 

[blablamana]

Squirrel: Okay okay, I will
I'm glad you are not too worried and I'm sure it feels great to know that even if this is not your cycle, you have help. You will have your third baby, I'm sure

 

[Smille24]

Squirrel - knowing there's help is a relief. Yes, it's not ideal to take this long and use science, but sometimes you need that little push. I think ivf, especially when it's that affordable, is a great option.

Bee- how are you doing hun? Your chart is looking good. Fxd for you!

Texas- sorry about af hun .

 

[TexasRider]

Yup AF showed this am. Glad that this cycle was 28 days. That's what they were before all the crazy stuff happened.
Anyway this month my husband has to go away on business during my fertile week. So the best chance we will have is to bd 3 days before O and Wednesday morning as a quickie before he leaves at 2 days before O.... Sigh... He won't be back till Sunday which will be several days after O. I have O'd on day 14 both cycles that I ovulated in so its safe to assume it will be around there again.

 

[beemeck]

Texas - so sorry about AF. I know that even on the months that happy my cycle cooperated, it's still so depressing . Sending you hugs !

Blab - congrats on your digi! Can't wait to see a beautiful scan pic soon

Squirrel- so glad you are getting in so quick ! It will be so nice to talk to a specialist in person to see where everything stands

Afm - have a little cold that started yesterday. Just a little stuffed up-nothing big. But temps aren't doing anything and are just like every other month so I'm just anxiously awaiting AF so I can schedule hsg and get this show on the road !

 

[campn]

Bee- again your chart looks amazing, but I noticed less up and down zigzags this time? Maybe I'm imagininaing this. I hope AF stays away for you and you get a glorious beautiful BFP!

 

[beemeck]

Lol no actually my post o temps are always so stable. In fact, I get 98.29 about 6 times each tww! The only thing different this time is that 3 dpo dip. I know it's just a fallback rise but I've never had one before. I know it can't mean anything but I hold out hope for anything different lol !

 

[squirrel.]

Texas: so sorry AF showed! Glad to hear you had a decent cycle though and got to 28 days. I hope this next cycle ends in a BFP for you!

Bee: your chart is looking great. Stable temps are a good thing. The whole triphasic thing can be observed on some pregnancy charts, but it's by no means the majority. So I would worry about stable temps, they don't mean anything. It's crazy you get that exact temp every cycle in the TWW. How odd! I think that means you have a good stable supply of progesterone post-o, which can only be a good thing. Here's hoping you get a BFP in the next few days and that little brush did a world of good


I'm ticking along. 12dpo and sooooooo bored of this cycle let me start the next cycle already!! AF is due Wednesday and then a whole week till my appointment with the fertility specialist. So excited for that! This week is going to go by slowly. I have my first ever yoga session tomorrow and it's my husband's birthday Tuesday and we're going out to the theatre, which will be nice.

 

[campn]

Squirrel- I'm so excited and super hopeful for you! I wouldn't be surprised if you tell us you're due in December!! Sending you lots of baby dust mama!

 

[beemeck]

tested this morning because I didn't want to feel foolishly hopeful for the next week. BFN as expected so now I feel like I'm brought down the earth and can look forward to testing and hopefully answers!

 

[TexasRider]

10dpo is still really early Bee! So you may not be out... But I do understand how it sucks to get your hopes up every month.

Afm- AF is still here and she should be leaving soon. My mother in law was being a complete cow last night and decided to tell me that my daughter told her she wanted a little brother. After looking at pictures of my newest nephew. She has never said it to me so I am not sure if she's telling the truth or not. Then she gives me the look like... Well why aren't you pregnant yet? I told her when I have news to share I will... I mean geez I'm upset enough about it taking so long already and she isn't helping at all...

 

[BabyForIris]

Sorry Bee. But could still be early. Hang in there.

Texas I'm so sorry. People are so insensitive. I don't understand why they feel they have a right to ask about anyone's sexual reproduction.

 

[Smille24]

Bee- I'm so sorry hun . 10dpo is still early, I agree. Fxd for you.

Texas- omg we must have the same MIL. We told ours over the weekend and she made the comment "well it's about damn time". I said "well we didn't want it to take so long, but we had problems." I didn't share details, it's not her business. People don't get it. Ttc isn't easy, it's not fun and it doesn't always happen right away. It will happen for you soon .

 

[squirrel.]

Bee: sorry for the BFN 10dpo is still early though. Average implantation day isn't till 9dpo so average BFP isn't till 11/12dpo. In my four pregnancies I only got a BFP on 10dpo with Isla and that wasn't till night time with a cheapie, in the morning the FRER showed a glaring BFN. With my other pregnancies it wasn't till 11dpo that I got a positive.

Texas: sorry your mother-in-law was so callous some people just don't get tact and as struggling to conceive is such a common thing to happen yet such an uncommon thing to talk about, a lot of people stick their foot in their mouth without realising how insensitive they're being!

Smille: your MIL sounds a delight too what a way to speak to you! Sheesh! Makes me appreciate my MIL all the more, I kicked out with her, she is really very lovely (a little odd, but lovely).


My mum is the one being insensitive right now, which is a shocker, as she is usually so sensitive and tactful. We're really close and get on really well and we're able to talk about anything, which is why her being a bit useless about our infertility is very out of character. I try to talk to her about it, but she just freezes up and then changes the subject. My brother having twins has been an issue between my mum and I, as I tell her I'm happy for them but sad for me. Twice now she's made me feel like shit. The first time we were discussing what the genders might be and I said that if they had two girls (they have two boys already) it would be too much for me (I said it jokingly, but to be honest that would have made me so jealous! ) as that would be the perfect family! She turned around and said, "they deserve for nice things to happen to them seeing as they're having twins!" (What I would do to have twins!!! Seriously!! What a thing to say to me). The second time was yesterday when I was talking to her about my brother and the twins and how hard I'm finding it seeing as we're about to reach a year of trying and she scolded me for not being happy for them. I couldn't believe my ears! I have said time and time again that I am happy for them, but so very sad for us. She just doesn't get it I can't talk to her at all.

 

[campn]

Bee- it's still early hun so don't feel discouraged yet!

Squirrel- I'm so sorry hun, I'm sure she means well but maybe she thinks your brother's twins will cause some resentment and issues between you two and she probably doesn't want to see her kids go through that, but you should tell her it never will cause any kind of problems you're just going through a hard time.

My mom does the same thing with me and my siblings cause she fears we end up fighting or hating each other so she instantly jumps defending them, but I know she defends me when she's talking to them too!

I hope you get your twins!

 

[trixiesmith]

Hi ladies, I'm baaaaack! :wave:

Congrats to those who got bfps during my hiatus from here! It's so, so great to see that the number for bfps has risen again. But that also likely means there's probably not a lot of us left on this thread who are still waiting for that bfp and a sticky bean. Nevertheless, I still firmly believe it will happen for all of us soon. For those who are about to test or are around their window, fx for you and sending baby dust and positive vibes your way.

I haven't read through the thread from where I left off yet, but I have been thinking of you all. I imagine there's a lot to catch up on.

Shortly after I deactivated, two big things happened to me: I turned 29, and DH and I talked and reconnected, and we have started TTC again. I made my peace with not having a baby before 30 and he surprised me last week by talking out his worries and reasons with me for wanting to wait. Last cycle I believed we would try this month and we did try! We've bd only a few times due to his still-sore hip, but it was just around my fertile window, so I'm considering myself in for this month. It feels so great to be back on here and to be able to join you ladies on this adventure!

 

[campn]

Trix- So happy to see you're back with us! I knew your DH would come around and so excited to see you get a BFP so soon!

 

[beemeck]

trixie!!!! welcome back yayyyyy. I'm so glad things turned around for you so quickly - you were missed here! I believe there is something like only 6 of us left..... but I'm hoping some new girls join in so it doesn't feel so lonely.

thanks for everyone's encouragement yesterday. It's honestly just easier for me to believe that I'm out, even if by some miracle I'm not. But I definitely appreciated it ladies
