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

Thanks smile- im not sure how accurate it is though. DD woke up at 2:30 so I put her back down and then fell asleep till 5:30 when I took my temp. So I may not even have a reliable temp. The first time I took my temp it was 98.46! So I assumed it was wrong and immediately re did it and got the 98.26 and then fell back asleep till 7:30 and took it again and it was 98.41. I know you're not supposed to take you temps more than once but I wasn't convinced it was accurate lol. So who knows what it's actually supposed to be so I settled with the 98.26 and I hope it's just as high tomorrow!!

Edit to add I changed it to 98.46 which was my first temp. I feel better about using that one lol

Texas: Fantastic temp rise! Sounds like it could have been even higher. I know what you mean about being wary of temps when you’ve had a disrupted night’s sleep. Hopefully tomorrow’s temp will stay raised and we’ll be seeing a BFP from you in a few days. Your chart is looking so great this cycle compared to the other one on your profile. The post-o pattern really is great!


AFM: 3dpo and itching to get to next weekend so I can test! Had a rough few days with my husband with him being quite horrible yesterday (unlike him, he doesn’t usually let his depression become lashing out) and then me messing up today. Ugh!!! Made me ruin my diet too. Pizza is on its way over now and I am drinking a glass of wine! Also doesn’t help I was making my son’s birthday cake (my first ever proper cake!!) and I was tasting the batter, cake, buttercream, icing all day! He’s going to be 4 on Wednesday. I can’t believe it. It seems only like yesterday that he was a squishy newborn in my arms and now he’ll be school-age! Come September my son will be at school! Can’t get my head round that one. Hope you don’t mind me sharing a picture of my beautiful boy and the cake that I’m pretty chuffed with.

Beautiful fondant work Squirrel!!! It's lovely! They grow up so fast. What a gorgeous boy he is.

Squirrel- Happy birthday to your beautiful boy! He's super handsome and that cake looks delicious!

 

[TexasRider]

Squirell I hope you're right! I would love to have a little November baby. I see you got your crosshairs too! Congrats and I hope you get pregnant and don't even need the specialist! Your cake looks so cute too! Im not a big fan of how fondant tastes but it sure makes pretty cakes

 

[Smille24]

Squirrel- happy birthday to your lil man. That cake looks amazing. Great job!

Hi everyone, just wanted to pop in and say hello. Been mainly on the assisted conception forums so Im not up to speed with all of your statuses. Congrats to all the bfps lately!!

As for me, this month was my second month of injectables. Turns out I responded too well and have 7 follicles! The doc advised against doing an iui due to super multiples ( I had no problems with it since I don't believe it would even work...I have a feeling something is wrong during the fertilization stage of things) but then the doc said that we actually could go ahead with ivf with that many follicles. My hubby and I were in shock but talked it over and are going through with it. I mean we are trying to get pregnant, so why not? Tues is the egg retrieval, then Friday or Sunday is when they put the eggs back. I'm slightly nervous but also so excited we actually might finally have a chance!!

Hope everyone else is doing great!

 

[TexasRider]

Hiker good luck with IVF! I hope this is it for you. Please keep us posted.

Afm- no dramatic temp this morning. Maybe daylight savings affected it or maybe implantation? Either way I'm not stressed. AF will either show up or she won't. Lol

 

[squirrel.]

Hiker: wow, surprising turn up for the books! I hope egg retrieval goes well and you end up with lots of healthy blastocysts to choose from!

Texas: with temps, it could be any number of things. Your chart is still looking amazing even though it didn't climb up again today.


4dpo and my ovulation day and post-o temps are mirroring my BFP cycle with my daughter. Trying really hard not to focus on that too much!

 

[Smille24]

Texas- it could be the change in time, but honestly your temp is still up way above coverline. When is af due?

Squirrel- I hope this cycle leads to a bfp for you!

Hiker- like squirrel said, 7 blastocysts means you'll have a great shot.

 

[TexasRider]

Smile AF is due Friday I believe. If I have a 14 day LP this month like ost month. My other LP was 11 days. I've only charted 2 cycles with temping that had Ovulation

 

[campn]

Hiker- I'm so happy to see things are hopefully and finally happening for you! Best of luck with IVF! I've a friend who is now 20 weeks pregnant and they just found out it's a boy! You're next!

Squirrel and Tex- I hope the tww is coming to an end and that we get to see TWO posotive pregnancy tests very soon!

 

[campn]

Had to go back to look at Bee's chart and looks like you ovulated yesterday! What a rise too! So we're looking at THREE positive pregnancy tests here very soon!! I'm praying for each one of you!

 

[TexasRider]

I hope you're right campn. I'm trying hard not to get discouraged but it's hard especially when it happened so easy the first time and this time it's taking a lot longer... Sigh

 

[squirrel.]

Bee: yay for being in the TWW!! Fingers crossed you caught that egg!!


Afm: the end of a difficult weekend and it's brought some unpleasant revelations. We won't be able to afford IUI next cycle (maybe in two or three cycles time). We had received a hint from the in-laws they would loan us money, but that has either changed or we really misread situation. We could afford a clomid cycle, which is what I guess we will have to do. Feel pretty down. Just annoyed I let myself get ahead of myself like that, we just got too carried away. Now things are strained between my husband and I, which is difficult enough as he is going through another depressed episode. I still feel hopeful for this cycle, but a lot less excited about the next now... Hopefully doing the HSG was all I needed to flush out tubes and get us pregnant. Fingers are so so crossed!

 

[TexasRider]

Squirell im so sorry. It stinks that things aren't going the way you want them to.maybe clomid will be the little boost you need. It's fairly inexpensive and most people respond well to it.

My sister in law is going through all this too. She has PCOS and has been trying for almost 3 years. They are headed for IUI in the next few months unless they get pregnant.

 

[campn]

Squirrel- I'm so sorry hun, I've also dealt with our inlaws hinting they'd help us out when we couldn't pay our bills for a few months and they've let us down every single time but yet they expect us to go over and beyond for them so now we don't ask them for anything. I hope you won't even need IUI and that HSG and Clomid would be all you need. You should still be hopeful and every passing month you're only closer to your BFP. Maybe the harder achieving the pregnancy the easier the baby is!??

 

[Smille24]

Squirrel- I'm sorry you won't be able to do IUI next cycle (if you need to). Clomid is inexpensive at least in the US it was $8. It definitely works bc my follies went from not maturing very well to maturing normally. Your dh has normal sperm, so maybe the pills are all that's needed. It worked for drum 1st cycle. I'm sorry all of this is causing your dh depression. My thoughts are with you.

Bee- yay for ovulation!!!!

 

[squirrel.]

Thanks ladies. Your support means the world. As if I didn't need to feel any worse yesterday, my little boy woke up vomming and with a fever at 10pm. As we sorts out his bedding and got him back to sleep, I realised I was feeling sick too. I headed to bed, but spent the night waking up feeling really nauseous and fevery. I wasn't sick, but I came close a couple of times. So now there's this massive temp spike (which I will discard in a couple of days when I get some more normal temps on there). Feeling a bit better this morning, just exhausted. Both kids had me up since 4am.

 

[Smille24]

I hope everyone feels better soon squirrel!
