8 dpo looking for buddies " 4 BFP" "Welcome Jacob "(old thread )

[mzswizz]

HittheJackpot-It's a good thing for your temp to go up. If tomorrow, it stays up then that will confirm your ov day. on FF, they would give you crosshairs on day 3. But anyways, yes i say its a good thing your temp spiked like that. I have my fxed that you will get a bfp this cycle.

Skittles-Have fun on your business trip to key west. I went there for my 21st birthday 2 yrs ago. Loved it there. Hmm now i want key lime pie

AFM, so im on cd19 today and im still bleeding. It has actually increased after my ob/gyn did a vaginal check. My temp is also 97.37 today. Yesterday went pretty well i may say. So I pretty much have 2 cycles left before going back to my doc in July (if im not pregnant before then). I forgot to mention that he did ask did we want to do the SA, HSG etc yesterday but we both decided we just will wait the 3 months like he said in the beginning. The reason for the 3 month wait is because he said that he wants to atleast see if my body can conceive naturally before involving medication and dh and i both agree with that. Not saying there is anything wrong with having the help of medicine. We are just saying we want to see if it can actually happen. I know I know...i've been fighting this for 2 years now but subconsciously...im just going to show him that something is obviously wrong and then we will get the help we need. Also, on my calendar, is shows that my AF would be due around the follow up check up. So atleast he will be at the start of AF when he starts testing. I believe this is going to help us conceive. Heck if I waited 2 yrs..I can wait 3 months. Atleast I know that in 3 months..we are going to know everything and work from there. Instead of 2 yrs of not knowing. So the countdown has started. Next week marks the month of May sooo 2 more months already before I go back

today is cd20 and the light flow is here. At first, I was upset because I am bleeding for so long but then again this long bleeding may be a good thing because I might only have to go through 1 cycle using opks before going back to my doc for all the tests on July 23rd. At the rate the bleeding is going, I won't ovulate until May which means I might get my new AF in mid to end of May and then I start a new cycle which means i will most likely ov in the end of June and have AF probably end of July or beginning of August. But we shall see. Atleast it's a win/win for dh and I because we get to test out the opks and we still dont have to wait long to get the tests done. So im happy. Also, still waiting on the phone call from the other jobs to see if I got a new job. Can't believe May will be here in 6 days. Where did April go? But hey, im not complaining. Also, dh and I dtd and spent some lovely couple time together just relaxing etc. I must admit, it was lovely and I enjoyed...well we both enjoyed it. I have to work today but the good thing is that my boss is on vacation for this whole week so she wont be there yay So a librarian, Jay, is in charge and he is the nicest person ever. So of course I wont be stressed out for a week which is awesome. Now its a countdown to test with the opks and countdown til the next follow up.

MzSwizz, thanks so much for fx'd and the response re: temps. That helped me feel better. My temp was indeed up again today at 98.06 so I guess that the trigger shot works as it should . I suppose I should check out FF, eh? hehe! I'm glad you guys are ok with the doctor's plan... hopefully, the more information he can gather, the better things will go in a few months, but fxed that you get your BFP before you have to go that route!! And I LOVE LOVE LOVE your positive attitude!! That can only HELP! Keeping my FXed for you also for the new job! Getting you out of the stressful situation with your current boss would be GRAND!

Skittles - Thanks for the !! May it not be in vain! WOOT! hehe And I have to admit that I'm soooo jealous that you're in Key West! Ohhh I wanna be there, tooooooo! Hope you have time to enjoy the beach and some of that key lime pie that MzSwizz was talking about!!

Hope you all have a WONDERFUl Wednesday! smoochies!!

 

[mzswizz]

HittheJackpot-Yay sounds good on your end. Hope that temp stays up then that would mean bfp in the midst. And dont worry if your temp drops every now and then because it could either mean fallback temp or implantation dip. And yes you should try out FF. Thats what i use. And yes im hoping I get a bfp too. But if i have to go to the doc to get one they hey that's what I will do. Thanks for keeping your fxed for me. And i gained the positive attitude after years of ttc after m/c. I know I am getting closer to the bfp and that's the exciting part. Now i just got to wait until the bleeding stops so i can start testing. Until the bleeding stops..im going to temp just to keep track and make sure I dont just magically ov while bleeding which I doubt will happen because my body is still in AF mode. But it never hurts to cover the bases. Also, once the bleeding stops..im going to stop temping and just use the opks until i get a positive so we shall see if im going to ov in May or not. If i get pregnant this cycle..atleast I will know exactly when I o'd so i wont have to go by lmp because i would be more weeks behind if i go by ov rather than lmp.

 

[HitTheJackpot]

Hmm. I entered my temps into FF today and it estimates that I ovulated on Saturday! I did the trigger shot on Friday evening so we didn't do the IUI until Sunday morning at 9:30am... so if FF is right, then we missed O! I'm wondering now if my body is maturing the follicles naturally before the trigger shot actually does it. Grr. Well, if no BFP this month, then we'll have to reevaluate with the doc next cycle. Only time will tell, I guess.

In other news, I have something out in my neck ... and it's bad. Gah! I can't turn my head to the left at all, but any motion is painful! And of course, Tylenol does nothing for the inflammation. Phbbt. REALLY hoping that this doesn't put a damper on our plans to go to the Smokies for a long weekend...

 

[mzswizz]

HitTheJackpot-Yes it seems that you have o'd on saturday when you entered your temps. Im thinking you can still be in though because some women either dtd on ov or a day after and end up with a bfp so you are not out just yet. Hopefully the pain goes away in your neck. I had a feeling like that before and boy was it painful. I think a nice hot shower will relax the muscles and help with that.

AFM, its cd21 and still a light flow. Looks like I am going to spend the whole month of April bleeding since AF started April 6th and still hasnt stopped. It sucks but then again atleast I am prepared with the digi opks so wont miss out on ov. Once i start using the opks, i dont know if i should stop temping. I was going to just continue temping until the end of this cycle so my ob/gyn can see how crazy of a cycle I had and also use the opks but now im just thinking about just using the opks and go from there. Either way, I know im going to use the opks for sure and see what happens. Hopefully, I ovulate and then i get a bfp but if not then by the time I go to the doc, I would only have experienced 1 or 2 cycles. Hopefully that's enough for him and he will still do the tests. Im just ready to take the proper steps to get a bfp. Im just ready for us to have our LO finally. It's been a long road and Im ready for us to end this road and take a new journey.

Hello!!!

@HitTheJackpot, Key west was fun. It amazed me how small the island is, I end up seeing the same people all over the island. On the downside, no key lime pie and since it was cold and windy, no beach.
As for your ttc friend, you are lucky, you have someone to drive crazy. Last cycle I drove one of my bestfriend cuckoo, to the point she thought she was pregnant . She beg me not to tell her abou ovulation and symptoms this cycle. So enjoy her .

For the ovulation, don't worry about it too much. Most of the ladies always think they missed it and they were on point. So to you.

@Mzswizz, you amazed me, so collected, I wish I was like you.

By the way, what did your doctor say that the spotting was ok? Did it happen to you before ? I am wondering, because one of my friend is going thru the same thing, but she's not even active. On another note, it has been known for some women to ov while they are spotting, soooooo! you never know.


For me cd 19 and still don't know if I ovulated or not, because I was so distracted this cycle, I did not pay attention at all. I guess I'll have to go with Cd for this cycle instead of dpo. If I ovulated on cd 14 or 15 I should be 4 or 5 days dpo. Oh well, we will wait to see if af shows or a .

 

[mzswizz]

Well my doc told me that long bleeding could be anything from change of diet to stress etc but from looking at my charts etc he said my long bleeding could be because im not ovulating every month. And looking at my chart...i dont think I will ov while im bleeding because it looks like my body is still in AF mode unfortunately. But then again thats a good thing because i dont want to conceive while bleeding because we only dtd in the shower so we wouldnt conceive. Also, the spotting turns into bleeding off and on so im thinking once it finally stops then I will finally ov. I got my digi opks waiting to be used

 

[HitTheJackpot]

Well, I was driving myself crazy, going back and forth about possibly missing O, so I just put a call into my doctor's office to discuss it with a nurse... either way, at least I'll know what they think about it.

I haven't given up ALL hope for this month... because you are both right, that it is still technically POSSIBLE, but I wish I knew for sure... so I could use the hot tub at the cabin we rented in the Smokies for this weekend! Dang.

Skittles, I'm sorry it was cold and rainy!! I'm glad to hear though that you still enjoyed yourself! Re: my friend, yes, I am lucky in that respect and I can totally understand your friend! haha! I did the same thing to someone last month!

MzSwizz - You poor thing re: the looooong bleed! Gah! Keeping my fingers crossed (and toes too) that it ends soon for you! If for no other reason that your piece of mind!

 

[Grihababy]

Hello all !! Im 11 dpo and really hopeful for this month . I ve been having really sore bbs since o .. But thats usually always there but its more severe this month .
Today 11 dpo and i have severe backache and eeling very cold . And its pretty hot here !! Are these symptoms any good ? Af is due today or tomorrow , hope she stays away !! My temps were high today morning so donno for sure very anxious

 

[mzswizz]

griha-i would say that you are still in good with a chance. it sounds pretty good especially the temp. Maybe try testing with a frer.

hitthejackpot-Keeping everything crossed for you!!!

 

[skittles76]

Hello ladies!!!

I ovulated last night, I am officially 1 dpo .

I am so going to try not to symptoms spot this cycle. So far I am doing good, I almost did not post today, but I had to keep ou guys posted.

Goodnight.

 

[mzswizz]

Yay happy 2dpo skittles!!!

AFM, im cd23 today and just as i expected..i didnt ov yet My temp dropped back down to 97.56 today so im happy. Also....NO MORE BLEEDING/SPOTTING Im so happy. I have creamy cm now. I took the digi opk and it came back negative which i expected. Also, the left line on the test is super faint to the point dh thought that there was only one line there. So with that being said...im at the beginning of testing so there's no way we are going to miss that surge No work for me today so im super happy. DH already left to go help out at my parents house. I am waiting a little bit because I have just washed my hair and it has been raining so not trying to get sick. Im feeling pretty good today and happier now that the spotting is finally out of here. It would be great to conceive within this cycle but not going to put too much into it because if not, then there's always June before we go back to the doctor. So opk testing has begun!

 

[skittles76]

Hello!!


Thank you Mzswizz. It was a good feeling, who would of thought that a little "pain" would of mean so much .

I am happy that the spotting is finally over for you, now you can look forward to ovulation .

Today is almost over and I have no idea where it went. I almost did not have time for myself. Now, I just remember that I did not eat diner, I am starving . Dh is already snoring, he had a long day at work. No worries, I will wake him up in 2 hrs so I could have fun .

 

[HitTheJackpot]

Hi girls. Checking in from the top of a mountain in Tennessee at sunrise. Weleave today, sadly. I have been able to keep my brain away from ttc stuff most of the weekend, until last night when I couldn't sleep to save my life.. Unfortunately, I have absolutely no symptoms at all and my temp dropped back down to 96.5 this morning, so I am pretty sure I am out. At 7dpo, I should have SOMETHING if the iui took, right? And temp would have stayed elevated?

Finding myself down today. Need to do something to try to turn that around, just not feelin it at this moment ... kinda feel like I would rather wallow for a while, but I know that's not healthy! Meh. I'll cheer up.

This phone keyboard is driving me batty so I'm going to go make coffe and watch the sun come up. Ttyl! Hugs!

 

[skittles76]

Good morning.


HitTheJackpot, I would not worry about not having any symptoms. Most people do not get any symptoms until they have a missed period.

Just relax and enjoy your vacation. Who knows, in a few days your symptoms might keep you from going anywhere .

As you, I am looking for symptoms, which is silly for me because my families are people that get thru their whole pregnancy with no symptoms . My mom water broke with me on her way to work, and mind you, she was going to work on her German motorcycle, Oh yah!!, she was fierce. She finally had me in the car on the way to the hospital, and that is after she went home and had a shower.


As for me this morn, no symptoms . I am chilling in bed, dh is cooking breakfast.

 

[HitTheJackpot]

Thanks Skittles! Iappreciate the support! I got up after that post and drove down the mountain in to town to get fixins for breakfast. Came home, had my coffeee on the deck, woke dp and made a hearty breakfast. On he steep decent to the bottom, I stopped and moved a beautiful box turtle off the road and saw a timber rattlesnake cross the road to, which is verycool for me. First one I have seen in the wild.

Between the animals and making breakfast for dp, and talking with her about my concenrs (and maybe a. little cry) I am not in NEAR as much of a funk. Looking forward to the senic trip home... and more time with dp.

 

[HitTheJackpot]

Hi again! We made it home safe and sound. Back to life... back to reality!

I was able to enter my temps into FF today ... and boy, is my chart screwed up! I guess that waking up to the sunrise with a beautiful view of the mountains through the floor-to-ceiling windows kinda steered my thoughts away from temping a bit, so it usually came a little later than normal or after a little snuggling... so who knows what temps were for sure this weekend! HOnestly, I'm not even sure what kind of pattern temps generally follow, so I'm even more lost! GAH!

Skittles AHAHA! Sorry... but that's funny that she was on a motorcycle @ 9 months! OMG! What a brave woman!

 

[mzswizz]

Skittles-Wow your mom is one fierce lady riding on a motorcycle at 9 months! My mom water broke while she was sweeping the floor when she was pregnant with me

HittheJackpot-I wouldn't worry about your temps. Your 5dpo looks like it could've been a fallback temp which mean your temp dips in the tww and the 8dpo could be a possible implantation dip. So i wouldnt worry seeing that your temp went back up.

AFM, its cd25 today. My temp is 97.41 and i have a negative opk. So im pretty much waiting for ov to happen. DH and I dtd yesterday and I've noticed we are not dtd alot this time around. I think its better that way so when ov does occur..atleast we didnt decrease the chances with all the bd. Every time i look at the lines with the opk..it looks like its getting a little darker. I test with the digi opk after i temp in the morning because my work schedule will conflict with me testing in the afternoon and dont want to wait until the evening to test because I dont want to miss the surge. So i think its best if i test in the morning. We have been having a rainy week this week. Hopefully, we have sunny days soon. Also, Aunt Cherry left to England yesterday and we miss her already. We are hoping to see her in England if she hasnt planned on coming back within a couple years. Hopefully the next time she see us..we will have a LO she can meet So im temping and doing the opks so i wont miss ov if it does happen one way or the other. Atleast the opks are helping with the poas addiction Cant believe tomorrow is May already. Looking forward to a lovely month. Hopefully new jobs, new adventures and maybe news about a new addition to the family. But we shall see. If my AF was normal, my next AF would've been due May 11th. Now I dont know when its due. Guess I have to just wait this one out and see.

Thanks Mz! I hope hope hope that you are right! I'm driving myself nuts... one minute I'm positive that it didn't take, the next minute I have that hope back... and it is always when I read the positive posts from the ladies on BNB! I need to keep reminding myself of the positive things!!

So sorry your aunt had to go back to England! It is always sad to see a much loved relative leave! I'm sure her visit helped keep you busy, too! Keeping my fxed for O for you and we're all here waiting with you! Hang in there sweetie!
