Tizy:

Hm, I don't think you've O'd yet, but I think your body is trying to. I feel your pain on the irregular O and wanting to have more than one shot (it's been a struggle to get just one shot for pretty much the entire ttc endevour, for me, but hopefully now that DH is feeling better from sleeping better, one shot won't be hard to get). I'd BD every other day till you get crosshairs on your chart, if you can. Every third day (BD, skip 2 days, BD again) should suffice to get you at least one shot, though.

If it turns out you did O, at least you are in with one shot, but I know it's frustrating not to get more than one shot. I so totally feel you on that.

Sorry your cycle is being frustratingly mysterious!

If you O'd, FX'd this one shot does it, if not, FX'd and upcoming shot does it!

 

[Tizy]

Still not too sure whats going on....but I think i probably did O on CD13!!!

Temps gone up twice since and CM dried up? But night before last I took my temp at 6.30am instead of 5am (its always a little higher the closer to getting up time it is) and last night I came down with a horrid cold, sore throat and headache so my temp could be higher again today because of that. BUT..... My OPK are lighter too, which is suggesting LH surge has been and gone, even though I didn't get a full positive stick again this month.

We DTD again today just in case I haven't O'd and its going to creep up on me...and we will again on Saturday am too (O predicted on sunday on FF based on previous cycles).

Gah! Wish I knew for sure. Well at least I'm in with a chance whatever Xxx

 

[Tizy]

Not sure why my ticker isn't updating but yes I did O...currently 3dpo. Only in for a one-shot chance tho.

How's everyone else doing xx

 

[SmallTownGal]

Wow, Tizy, your surge is even shorter than mine! Sorry you didn't get more than one shot, but at least it's a shot. FX'd!

AFM: I've been feeling overwhelmed and struggled with depression the last couple of days, although I feel much better today after scheduling my consult with the FS for Friday May 3rd. They are award winning specialists in endo and fertility, have great success rates without turning people away, and people travel from across the state to see them, so I have confidence in them to do as good for me as possible and I feel like I'll be in good hands. They even have information videos on youtube and they seem friendly and confident and the staff seems real nice (the people I've talked to on the phone have been super nice and got back with me right away). They also have a money back IVF program (if I need that and hopefully I should qualify).

I've also got DH's SA scheduled for Mon May 6th, and we plan to go out to eat at the restaurant of his choice to salve the embarrassment.

Then on Fri May 10th I have a regular checkup with my gyno (I thought my last appointment was supposed to be a regular checkup and fertility checkup but they didn't do the pap smear and whatnot). My gyno ordered the SA but wasn't filling me with confidence wrt handling the fertility stuff (the lab he referred me to for the SA doesn't do that kind of stuff any more), so I went ahead and scheduled the FS appointment (my insurance is "open access" for seeing a FS so I didn't need him to refer me). Plus, since I'd need to go to the FS for the lab work, anyway, I might as well just see them and save some steps and do it all with them, and I'd rather have the FS take care of the fertility stuff to begin with.

I don't know what my chances are going to be, right now. What I most hope for is that I can carry a PG, whether my own or donor embryo. Of course, I also hope my eggs and DH's sperm are usable. And it would definitely be nice if all we needed was meds. FX'd

Sending some to spread around can't wait to see some more s

Hi ladies
Sorry it's been a while since I checked in, have been trying to have a laid back 2WW without getting too obsessive, I have been keeping an eye on you though

Jadey - congrats on driving test, fab news!

Proudarmywife - Thank you! And did your 4D scan go ok? Would love to see a pic if you have one?

Tizy - does that make you 5dpo now? Hope your 2WW is going ok, keeping everything crossed for you

STG - sorry you're struggling at the mo, we've all been there at times sweetie. Keeping everything crossed for you too and hoping that the FS can work their magic with you

AFM I'm around 10 dpo and AF is due Tues - Thurs time. We DTD twice during days of EWCM, we normally manage a bit more but I wasn't very well. So am doubtful for this month, especially as I can feel AF coming - got the normal sore bbs and 'heavy' feeling down below. But overall I've felt more laid back this month and think I will cope better when she gets here than I did last month.

Apart from TTC our major news is that we've booked to go to USA in October - going with my BIL and SIL (the ones who have just had a baby), their little ones will be just under 2 years and 5/6 months. 2 weeks split between Florida and New Orleans and we can't wait! It's the biggest holiday we'll have done in a long long time and we're all very excited. It's honestly the first time since starting TTC that I've had something else exciting to focus on, think that's why I'm finding this cycle more chilled out. I'm even considering taking a TTC break in the next few months..... If I happen to be pregnant this cycle I'll be 6 months when we go which would be fine. But I'm not convinced it'd be a good idea to be in first tri potentially suffering with fatigue, morning sickness etc. So may think of taking a break in the 3 months running up to October. That I'm even considering this is a major thing - I would've always said up until this point that nothing would stop me TTC for any period of time at all. I'm happy that I seem to be finding a bit more of a balance in this whole journey as it can be a bit mind-boggling at times

Hope everyone's had a good weekend

Hello girls,

Baby1 I'm excited for you, how you feeling today?

I'm very confused, my chart is showing one day behind on the ticker but if you click on it you'll see that I dipped below the cover line this morning?!? My temps have been on a steady retreat downwards since Thursday

Really hope I'm not having some really odd cycle, what with ovulating 6 days early, could this mean AF is gonna get me tomorrow?? Or do you think it could be an implantation dip? I've never dropped below the cover line before in any of my last 6 cycles? My LP is usually 11 days (although last month it was 12 days, do you think this could have reset my ovulation date?) oh so many questions...xx

 

[baby1wanted]

Thanks Tizy!

Never charted so they confuse me a lot, just wanted to say that I REALLY hope it's not turning into a crazy cycle for you and that this is your time, keeping everything crossed that it is implantation When do you think you will test?

I feel very much like AF is on her way - I'm grumpy, bbs are aching and am cramping. Only 2 things in my favour - DH said my bbs look bigger than normal and I had a weird dizzy spell at work today. But I remain very very doubtful. I refuse to waste yet another test so won't test until I'm sure I'm late. AF due sometime between tomorrow and Thurs so will try and hold out until Sat (tho will most likely cave on Friday!! )

 

[baby1wanted]

Pre-AF spotting has started...

 

[SmallTownGal]

baby1, how exciting about the trip! Florida is so beautiful! (I've never been to New Orleans). Are you going to Disney World or any of the other parks in Florida? It's great that you have a fun trip to look forward to and I'm glad it's helping you to feel more chill about ttc.

Sorry that pre-AF spotting has started for you

---

Tizy, I'm not sure what to make of those temps either, but I've seen people in the ttc gallery be pg with weird looking temps, so who knows. FX'd

AFM: The better sleep and vitamins seem to have given DH his mojo back and he's feeling better. His work is still stressing him out a whole bunch, though (he's got a boss who's like a combo of Bill Lumbergh from "Office Space" and Basil Fawlty from "Fawlty Towers" - I call him Fawltbergh).

Looks like I'm going to O later this cycle (opk is very neg, almost bone white).

I'm still getting backaches in the morning on the side the endo attacked, which is annoying and worrisome and painful. My mom said that happened to her sometimes, so I'm trying not to worry too much.

Been doing my best to keep my mind on hobbies and projects.

Hugs and dust to all

 

[Tizy]

Hi girls,

No update here....just that my temp went back up (thank god!)

I'm itching to test but I know 8dpo (tomorrow) is too early.

Baby1 I'm sorry spotting has started. Hope you're not feeling too down about it. Focus on that holiday and I'm sure good things will follow soon. I actually conceived Roscoe somewhere over the Atlantic back in 2011 when I took a trip with my family to California, funny thing about it was my partner wasn't even on the trip (but of course we'd DTD a few days prior to going).

STG, glad to hear you're ok and that you other half is feeling fresh at the mo. Lol at fawltbergh!! Hope O's coming up soon.

Where is ND and the other girls I wonder?

I'll keep you posted, please send the magic fairy dust over this way! Xxx

 

[NDTaber9211]

I'm here! I'm in limbo right now trying to figure out if I'm going to o this cycle or not. When are u going to start testing tizy?

 

[Tizy]

I'm not sure, it's tempting tomorrow and I've got loads of IC's but be better if I waited till Saturday really.

What cd are you on ND? Xx

 

[Ciaramystic]

I'm not sure, it's tempting tomorrow and I've got loads of IC's but be better if I waited till Saturday really.

What cd are you on ND? Xx

Hmmmm... Implantation Dip??? Triphasic???? FX'd that's exactly what it is!!!!

 

[NDTaber9211]

cd 12 for me. I usually O around cd 19 so another week to go for me.

 

[Tizy]

Ooooh I really hope so Ciara, I'm trying not to get my hopes up but I know my charts looking good now and I'm trying not to symptom spot (boobs are a bit bigger and more veiny)! Lol so I'm not doing very well. Just checked 'countdown to pregnancy' and it says that of a sample of pregnant ladies testing at 9dpo roughly 50% will get a false negative, the others varying types of positives, faint, very faint, strong etc so I'm gonna go for it tomorrow am!

ND I usually O on CD17/18 but this cycle CD13 so careful you don't miss it! Good luck xxx

I didn't get my positive until 13 dpo (and even then it was so light it looked like an evap!) so even if it is negative definitely don't count yourself out! I didn't get a strong positive until 15dpo!!!! I'm so excited for you and wishing you all the luck in the world!!!! You deserve it!

 

[Jadey121]

Good luck Tizy! I had a faint positive at 9dpo (didnt test before that) but it was clearly visable to the eye!
ive got my fingers crossed for you xx

 

[NDTaber9211]

I started my opks today and we are bding every other day just in case.

 

[Tizy]

Well 9dpo FMU and its a BFN. Keep thinking I see something faint but then I can't! Never mind there's always tomorrow. My charts still looking good. Very strange tho! Xx
