6 DPO...& ...POAS until positive!

Thanks, Meg! When are you going to Vegas? In July right?
You are planning to go at a very hot time! WHOO! I went in May & nearly melted.

What are all you ladies doing this weekend?
I've got my SD's piano recital Saturday morning. And the rest of the weekend consists of PACKING!

We went in July two years ago so i know what to expect lol. I find it not too bad of you pop in and out of the casinos and shopping areas that are freezing lol.

Yep we are leaving July 13 th. 3 days there then drive to California for 5 days. It will be a bit cooler there lol. Can't wait!

Ohhhh packing. A good opportunity to get rid of a Bunch of crap lol
 
Ugh. At work. Have to confide in everyone. Just got confidential email from a staff wanting to know what she has to do to utilize maternity leave here and asked question about it. I can't believe it. ANOTHER PREGGO person at my work! I can't escape it. I have to smile and be happy for everyone. Cause I'm always happy.....sigh. Sorry to vent.

Hey Chere - I totally get it. It seems like everyone's getting knocked up - but us eh? And the worst are the non-planned pregnancies :(
Fuckers. LOLLLL

You don't always need to be happy, hun. It's OK to have off days. We live in this society where negative feelings are bad & we should always wear a smile. But some days don't warrant a smile. And THAT is OK :)

Thanks Barb. It's true. I'm one of those survivor types who worries about everyone else way before myself. As a result I tend to hold it all in and then breakdown when I'm alone. Silly. Usually my drive home from the clinic is a down time; to reflect, to cry if I want. I prob look like a crazy lady sobbing behind the wheel lol.
 
Morning ladies ...top of the morning to ya...:flower:
Cd 3 here....yaaaaaawn-boring. Lol
Taking advantage of the "break"

So how are we all today...good I hopes...:flower:


:) :) :) xxx

Chere I had to LOL at the image... and not to poke fun but because I have been there myself many times indeed! :) Barb is totally right about what she said... we dont have to be happy all the time and a bad day is something we are entitled to when we need it!:hugs:

Good for you Nat.. I actually quite like that boring break... its the only downtime in TTC haha..

I am on CD13.. wondering if my OPK will start to get darker today or what... usually its CD 14 but last two cycles CD 16/17...... so we'll see!

BD'd this morning.. so far every other day this week so coverage is fine I think so far.

xx
 
Hiya nat and barbs n everyone..im on cd 17here..shld b 7dpo..:( no o happening so no clue about when I may get af..this is by far the most weird cycle I have ever had in my life..no sure what goin on it dnt make semse to me. My opks r still not positive and I have had no o pains at all at any moment. No cm, med cervix..ugghh..hope all is well for all of u!
 
It's funny because one day I was driving home and the woman behind me, was obviously crying very hard, behind the wheel. Her face was pure anguish. I wanted to cry for her....but I instantly thought "oh no this is what I look like!" then I shrugged and said fuck it. My drive to and from work, altho really only 30 minutes or less each way, is my time :cry: and I'll cry if I want to.

My temp finally shot up this morning. Was holding steady even tho 2 positive OPK. We've been BD's ALL WEEK anyway lol, so hopefully something is bound to catch a damn egg if and when one decides to fall....I can hope anyways.

Good morning to all. I'm just starting my day cause I'm over here on West Coast but TGIF :happydance:

Hi Momma :)

You arent too far ahead of me ! Keep testing with those OPK.... my last two months they tested positive several days later than usual so it does happen sometimes! :)

Ah right the good ol west Coast... my bro is in Edmonton so I always have to be careful how early I text him haha...

Sounds like you have great coverage this cycle so try to relax now and enjoy it! Are you 1 DPO today or tomorrow?

Well this is the thing, OPK were all positive BUT temps didn't go up till this morning, significant jump (see chart). So according to Ovufriend haven't ovulated YET, but tests positive....argh....so not really sure to be honest!

Hi chere...:flower: nice to see a face to your name.:flower:

So I hear your you saying opks are positive but temp only just gone up...normally temp will rise day after o....so three consecutive higher temps should let you know you defo o'd....
Try not to let it make you scratch at your head too much...I did this on my first temping cycle and worrying really is a waist of time lol...it will all come together love :flower:

I'm with meg on the "picture " of your drive home...I too don't mean to lol but it's like a movie scene isn't it...the windscreen wipers going like the clappers...blasting out "all by myself" by celene Dion blubbering all the way home...he he hee...
However if that's your only way of getting it all out then you go girl.:thumbup:

Yes barbs is right we can't be happy all the time love...and feeling like that is totally normal...:thumbup:

Love the pic of the pup he is adorable...makes me want one he he he...

Well hope your having a great day chere you take care alright.:flower:


:) :) :) xxx
EDIT: chere I took at look at your chart...looks like you did good with the bd-ing.:thumbup:
I also see your taking thyroid meds.....are you under active or over?
I have HYPOthyriodism...my temps are rather high...(which shows an over active problem lol)
Showed my docter this and she said I t was ok ha ha...

You and I are totally alike. I grew up very fast & taking care of myself early. I've had a thick skin for ever & it takes a lot for me to break down. So I totally get it. I am also not one who shows this kind of emotion in front of people. I'm more comfortable now with my husband but it took a very long time.

Nice to see your lovely face!!!! I love your photo.
I would love to visit BC some time. Did you grow up there?

I hope it happens for you this month! How long have you been trying?

Funny enough I have been feeling OK lately even though I didn't get pregnant. I'm getting more & more aloof.
 
Hi Momma!

Nat & Meg - hello :)

I caught up a bit. I'm doing OK. CD2. In for cycle monitoring tomorrow & a lesson on Clomid & to grab the pills. This weekend is all about packing & I can't wait for today to be over. We're going to go see that Star Trek movie. Not for me. For my husband. It better be good LOL I really want to go see that new thriller, The Purge.

I'm feeling OK actually. Keeping positive. Not going crazy :)
And yes Nat, the break is NICE!!

Meg I hope you O this weekend. Fingers crossed!

I will likely be MIA this weekend. Will be keeping super busy but I"ll check in for any updates I am sure.

Hugs to my ladies! XOXO
 
Nat - you covered most of the info I was going to say or thought of for our newbies :) You are so good at this :)

Nat, how are you? You're on CD2??? I'm CD 1 now! WAHOO!
Are you doing anythign different this cycle?

I decided to start back on Maca & Red raspberry Leaf - both of which I was on when I got pregnant. And just cross my fingers!

Hey barbs :thumbup:
Yeah I'm on cd 2 ...:thumbup: Kinda strange af this cycle...I didn't get it heavy on cd1 like usual and cd2 is even lighter.....I was expecting full blown hell in earth this cycle bc of the vit b6 .....it's suppose to let your lining thicken for implantation so I was thinkin more lining more to come away...I know the vit b6 has started to work bc I had been soooo emotional in the ttw...

I dunno....:wacko:

Yeah I started 1000 mg of vit c this cycle and 30 mg of zinc too...all good for immune system and implantation/hormone balance .and I'm eating a handfull of brazil nuts daily...(selenium) ......so thats my new thing this month...lo.

I'm on like 19 tablets now lol...
My mum was shocked to see me swallow all that this evening ....but proud that I am trying my dam hardest to MAKE this work.

I had a little break down/out burst today....I been pms-ing all day...I was sooo stroppy and then I had a sudden wave of guilt for being such a bitch to everyone...so I cried and made my apologies....I had to explain that I felt disappointed,frustrated,upset,hot and bothered,irritable,alone,and pms lol
How they put up with me this morning I do not know....shame lol
It's all good now tho :thumbup:

Good luck with you maca and red raspberry barbs...I hope it works for you:flower:
I'm sorry af arrived barbs...but glad you can move on with next round of iui too...

RE: 70's porn....lol that tickled me...I can imagine my oH disappointment if that happend to him...lol
I would love to see my oH face when he went in the room thinking"oh yes a guilty free one off" just to find OLD mags ha ha ha....the sort his dad would have had pmsl....
Sooo funny...


Good luck with your sd recital this weekend barbs..that sounds good.:thumbup:
And the packing....you take it easy love ok.:flower:

:) :) :) xxx

Hey Hun,

I've taken a lot of Vit. B & even B3 & never had any major heavy bleeding. You ought to look up Red Raspberry Tea. It's supposed to be so good for you in so many ways but it is a tonic for your uterus to prepare it for pregnancy & then later on for birth. I used that & Maca the month I got pregnant. And I'm going to use the same protocol this time around. Also, I've decided to give it a go & use Bromelain to try & help implantation. I have to use digestive enzymes anyway on a daily basis so I switched from papaya enzyme.

Good luck with your regime! And I totally know what you mean. I pop pills like a fiend all day long :) LOL. Oh well - I'm going to be HEALTHY!!!! And hopefully make a baby too :D

I'm sorry you had a bad day. That's OK we all have it & we're allowed right? This is a shitty process to go through at times. How are you holding up? Are you afraid it's going to take you as long as it did with your son? Does that make things worse?? I can only imagine your frustration. However do know that after each pregnancy, your hormones sort of restart so it doesn't mean because it took you 7 years, it will again. And you will be seeing an RE this year? I think it would be very beneficial for you given how long it took you to conceive last time. Chin up, lady!!! We're here for you :) xoxo
Wish I could come have a nice hot cup of tea with you & just chat about how NOT awesome it is to be in our shoes.

Yes totally - here the men think "alright!" but I bet the material they chosen are modest & lame. Not the awesome stuff men are into now. Actually can you imagine being that person who has to go buy the material? LMFAO.

I will take it easy my dear. You too. Look at the sun brighter tomorrow! XO

Hiya barbs :flower:
Oh yeah your sooo right...I AM scared this might take as long...I really can't bare the thought of it...
When I had my cervical cancer(strains 16 and 17 nic3 (nothing to do with HPV might I add! ) :)
I had the tumour removed from my womb...they had to ad a stitch or two to re galvanise the weakness the removal had caused...so I could (hopefully ) still bare a child...
So there was a concern as to weather or not I may have had fibroids when I was carrying Harry...unfortunately by the time my OB eventually got my appointment Harry was alot bigger and he was "in the way" and they couldnt see properly...it was a case of "lets hope not"

Also 1yr previous to the tumour removal they also treated my cervix with iodine and quaterized the abnormal area...this left alittle scaring too but I seem to be OK with that...just a pitty it all came back so advanced and aggressively that I nearly lost my womb altogether...caught just in the nick of time.phew!

So...I asked my docter at the time if this could affect ttc but she was sure it wouldn't...
I can't help but think it does!
And always has!

I am going to ask my lovely docter in August if she will send me for the ultra sound scan to pick up anything that might be a problem...:thumbup:


Oooo the red raspberry tea defo look into that barbs -thankyou...

I felt kind of sick earlier for taking all these pills lol...I have to take them in the middle of my meal as its horrendous effort to keep them down else...lol


You know we might just have to do that one day :happydance:
My oH sister has a villa in America/Florida ...we should maybe rent it for a holiday .:thumbup:
That would be fantastic...all sat there with our babas...sharing our advice...lol

:) :) :) xxx

OMG Nat, I had no idea. You had cervical cancer. You poor thing. The whole ordeal sounds very unpleasant. I totally understand why you'd be concerned about conception. I think that your cervix, as long as sperm can get though you should be OK. And maybe IUI would be more beneficial. Anyway you will come to find out this year. It's best you do a full ultrasound & everything to make sure everything is OK.
The best things you can do is take charge of your health. Take charge of your fertility & make sure you get ALL the answers you need to feel OK. That you've done all you can.

How is Harry doing? The bump on his head, the asthma?

It would be super cool for us all to get together one day. That would be so nice. Or maybe come to the UK? That would be a great excuse for me to finally come over to the other side ;)
 
Hiya Barb!

I will check in tomorrow most likely but besides that will probably keep busy as well :)

I will update you guys on my OPKs too!

I just took one again and then guess what I am so blonde I forgot to CHECK IT and it sat for an HOUR

luckily I could see it was much darker than the last few days so hopefully positive tomorrow or sunday latest..... I will do another tonight when I get home :)

Nat I didn tknow you had cervical cancer either wow.. you are one tough cookie!!!! Barb is right you sure have been through a lot :)

Chere nice to see your lovely face!

Hope everyone has a great weekend...
 
Hi there meg and barbs...thankyou for your well wishes ...:flower:
It's. great news tho...in January next yr it's 10 yrs ...so I think I can HOPFULLY say I'm out of the woods for good.fx.
I still have to have regular smears...and bloods but they have all come back clear every time.
It's VERY hard sometimes...I get very scared but like you said meg I am toughened to it now...it's obviously a scary thing to happen but I try not to think about it...
I just keep my fx every day that It won't EVER come back.

Re: Harry's head and asthma....
The lump isn't showing any signs of going down...it's getting bigger...
Quite worrying...but trying to stay positive....I'm making a apt with MY doctor on Monday if its still getting bigger or not going down by Monday....I know the other doctor said to wait two weeks but I can't...I can't help think that IF it is bad then I'm waiting precious time.
Again major fx it's all ok...
As for his asthma-bless him...since he got his little mask his wheezing has cut down ALOT...he has to have his mask 4times a day...he took to it very well...it's like a game to him so it's still pretty exciting to him...lol bless...
Every time I administer it to him I want to just cry...I feel so sorry for him.


Well ladies I hope you have a great weekend me petals....meg fingers crossed for you positive opk this weekend...:flower:
Barbs good luck with all the packing and the piano recital...hope you enjoy Star Trek love...I don't know how you can sit through that...lol....the purge does look good tho...can't wait for that to come out on my sky box office..woohoo .:)
