Anyone else counting down to April 1st?

[MolGold]

Aw mom2sam - you were so encouraging to us all there with the increasing odds as you go on TTC LOL I totally get poas at 6dpo. I am barely holding on as I am not sure FF is right. I think I am just 3DPO.

Diddy - I am sure baby is working on getting to you soon and to be able to get to use the dresser FX!

Melly I hope AF is treating you well now

Sirouse, Mzhwd - How are you ladies doing?

 

[mzhwd]

Hey

I had a temp drop today so I don't think my chart looks that good anymore.

My only symptoms are sore boobs and light cramps. I didn't test today I may tomorrow. I realized the sensitivity of my test is 20..so idk how that part really works.


I decided to take some maca this morning. Honestly it's too late for it to have any effect this cycle, but maybe next cycle. I started taking it with chocolate milk before I used warm tea, but the chocolate milk really helps the test for me.


Well I guess this weekend I'll know if this was a bust or I get my BFP.

 

[Mom2sam]

I know MolGold so annoying wen u dont know exactly where your at in cycle i'm just peeing for fun as expecting to see bfn this cycle anyway so not upsetting me & hating these tests with indents so not bothered about wasting this batch i have about 10 left. Not going to test til Sunday though now as stil suspecting i'l only be 8dpo not even sure about that so still early but i'm ok with bfn this cycle.

Mzwid i dont knw much about temps but does it go down wen u hav an implantation dip too? Just see women comment about it on here? Maybe it's implantation dip? X

 

[sirouseman]

I am 8 dpo now. Stopped temping at 4 or 5 dpo though because I lost my thermometer. I am getting to the stage where I usually would stop temping though, so maybe I will just wait this out. My only symtoms are more gas than usual and been diarrhea on a couple occassions. I don't know about this... don't feel pregnant at all. Have slightly some pressure down there making me feel like I have a full bladder when I don't. I don't notice anything else.

 

[Mom2sam]

Sirouseman i think sometimes no symptoms could mean something positive as i'v had so many symptoms past 2 cycles bfn & then af. This cycle i also have zero symptoms lets hope means you get ur bfp x

 

[mummy_smurf2b]

Ouch... Today has not been a good day, earlier I was thinking I'm coming down with a bug but who knows... I was shaking and my stomach was making random noises but it's not them that gets me really thinking... I also had really sore bbs it was painfull. It's ok at the moment but went through it again before althou didn't last as long but I decided to see if I could figure why it's happening and my nipples felt really hard, now it's gone away they feel kind of full or something. I'm also sure I keep feeling pressure down there but could be imagining that lol. Around my nipple still feels a little soar, do you all think it's anything to worry about?

 

[Diddy2013]

I went to get my blood work, it went great..... Just to leave and have them call me several times about how they actually can't send it it to the only lab my insurance will cover. (Not to mention I asked the doctor, called last week, and verified this with the woman who checked me in that they could send it to the correct lab)

Here I am at another hospital three hours later getting my blood taken again. Someone has a vendetta.....

 

[mzhwd]

Wow Diddy that sounds extremely frustrating. If my next cycle ends in a BFN my MD told me that she would order some lab work. I have no idea what all of that will include. This would make 6 months DH and I have been ttc #1. We're both in our late 20's so I don't see what the issue could be. But who knows.

Yeah I guess it could be a temp drop. It was a little cooler in my house this morning, which probably played a role in my temp this morning. There's a chance that it could be Implantation dip. But I must say I don't feel any real difference. Everything I feel could also be PMS.

You guys have some good symptoms it seems like. Hopefully least 1 of us get a BFP.

I always have a slow rise after ovulation and it concerns me that means a weak ovulation or that the egg didn't get fertilized. I really wonder and worry about that. Mine never jumps up high straight away like in your chart mzhwd. I think even with that dip you may stand a good chance... any symptoms or signs of AF yet? 6 months of ttc eben at your age isn't all that long... give it another 6 months before you do anything drastic. Your chart looks great and very normal all-around. Try yoga and deep breathing exercises, or get a nice massage sometime pre-O... it might help ease your anxiousness to conceive and relax your mind/body. ;-) With ttc#1 for me, it took like 14 cycles, but 10 of those I guess do not even count because I wasn't ovulating at all... go figure!! I was on BC for 10 yrs straight and after coming off, my cycles were wacky as heck and annovulatory with heavy vleeding. I find out after many months ttc to no avail... and thru bbt.charting that I was annovulatory. So then I self prescribed and got on Clomid for 3 cycles which got me to finally O for the first time in like prob 10 years!!@ I had a hugee pre O dip and first time ever, major ovulation bleefing which I.thought... great this cycle is a mess and AF starting wayyy.early, but then the temos continuously rised. Anyway... I conceived on the 5th cycle after I first began to ovulate. It was my 2nd non clomid cycle, O-ing on my own; naturally. Give it a bit more time... only let him ejaculate like every 2 days and I swear it will do the trick. When you bd everyday the potency or quantity of mature sperm is low. I am 29 btw. 25 when I stsrted ttc #1. Thought it was seriously never going to happen! I have never gone back on BC since!! Good riddance to BC lol I am all about bbt charting only. TTA has worked for me up until now so far. Been ttc #2 for 5 months now, but I know this will happen soon because unlike ttc #1 none of those factors I had before are factors this time around. Only problems have been timing this to happen exactly when I ovulate. And SO travels quite a bit.

9 dpo tomorrow!! Ahhh!! Usually 12 dpo I start to see pin sized specks of red or very, very faint light pink spotting on tp when wiping after going to the restroom. I am on the look out for this already and I am so nervous! Slight smell aversion today and gassiness, but nothing else.

 

[Mom2sam]

That is frustrating Diddy. How u feeling now? X

Sm is right mzwid your still very young & i agree kerp trying for 12 months & then take action. I know alot of freinds who did conceive within the year but after six month mark so u still got a very good chance everything is fine x

Ladies i dont even hold much hope f this cycle but i'm itching to test tomorw still early will be 8 dpo i think. Am i the only impatient one on here who just has no patience lol anyone else testing tmrw or Monday? X

[Mom2sam]

Lol mummy smurf wat dpo are u today & wen did u last test? Ok confession i poas a short while ago with smu! I'm only 7dpo i think someone slap me! X

 

[mummy_smurf2b]

Still don't really know for sure either 5 or 12 lol which is what's stopping me because if it's defo 5 then I know I'm out for this cycle. On a plus note we been told everything should b finalised for house in 2week lol agnus castus arrived today so now just waiting for the macca to arrive.

Last tested about 2days ago

 

[Mom2sam]

This is why i buy a stash of ic so i can just keep testing & not feel guilty i'm wasting. thats good news about the house & hopefully the agnus & maca bring on regular cycle for u hun x

I dont knw if i'm just seeing things but thought i saw a very very faint something on test. Camera aint pickin it up well tho so i'l just kp testing can u imagine the cycle i feel out is the one i conceive in! I dunno maybe i just am seeing thngs wil test again tomorw & then Monday it should show up clearer by thn. Its the 10miu ones that i'm using. Could just be an indent as dont even think implantation occurs as yet. Hate these tests x

 

[Diddy2013]

Mzhwd-yesterday marked the ninth and tenth time for blood work. Very first time ended up paying over 400 dollars because of the insurance issue, I've not had that issue since because at the right lab my insurance covers 100%. Next month will be 18 months trying ....(I had a preg that ended in mc, and we are both in our mid--late twenties... "Prime time" lol, and healthy) I saw a doctor after 7 months ttc....and had several women give me crap about not waiting a year to go...but I did all the temping opks cm checks etc. No signs of ovulation....and I was right, I wouldn't ovulate without medication. The best decision I made was making that dr appt and ignoring that wait a year crap!!! If you get blood work done before you ovulate they're checking hormone levels thyroid etc. After ovulation is typically ( around 7 dpo) to confirm ovulation and or check progesterone.

Mom2sam- I'm starting to get use to the poked and prodded. I look like I have track marks because both arms were used..... it's better than getting wanded with the internal ultrasound. I was upset/angry yesterday but I feel generally better today.

5dpo and a temp rise, dull cramping...which is probably from abs yesterday lol

 

[Mom2sam]

Aw Diddy glad ur feeling better i'v been there & totally understand & can relate to the poking prodding. Took me 5 yrs t conceive first & aftr 2 yrs trying is wen i started to get tested. In end aftr dye tests t check tubes, dh being tested & getting my bloods done thy came to conclusion that my ovulation levels were low so put me on clomid & said would hv me on 50mg for 6 months to start. Nothing happened, then thy upped it to 100mg & said will be on that for another 6 months as i was ovulating now but if nothing happened then next step would be iui the thought of it just dreaded me as by thn i was losing hope from first doc appointnent til nw i was already into fourth year ttc. Anyway thats wen i truly started praying & i conceived in very last 12th month just before they were going to refer me for iui. He is nw a happy 7 year old. I counted my blessings & decided to stop at one until last year also the other reason was coz i suffered from severe hyperemesis from 5/6 weeks til birth & couldnt eat or drink anything & were vomiting at least 30x a day had t go to hospital for a iv drip every other day until 7 months & were on anti sickness meds til end. by then i were stil being sick 3/4 a day but ketones wer fine as i'd at least eat & drink even t hv it come bk up.
Anyway wen me & dh decided t try again for #2 i was prepared for a long wait again but conceived second cycle off bc pill. We were shocked but hyperemesis started again & this time exactly same bk in hospital at 6 weeks & ended up mc at just over 8 weeks.

I totally feel for any couple trying for a while & my sincere prayers are with everyone. It's hard wen having to wait & putting in all the effort only for it not to happen but i can tel you personally as hard as its been i nw beleive it happens wen its meant to & as frustrating as it is never t lose hope. We are onto third cycle now & as much as i want this i'm so scared of the hyperemesis again it really felt like a slow death sentence. But thier so worth all the trying & wat we go through & wen we hold those babies in our arms for first time that proud feeling that u worked so hard to get this end result is just surreal.

Sorry for long post i pray we all get wat we desire on ths journey & that is our much wanted children who we all so rightly deserve. Big hugs to everyone x

Erm that was one long emotional post from me lets hope its a symptom haha c

I thought it'd take a few months, I never thought it would take me this long, other women in my family seem super fertile so I figured it would happen quickly.

I got pregnant on my last round of clomid before they sent me to the re...I switched dr after the mc (really bad experience). I have this cycle and three more cycles before the referral to the specialist.

 

[Mom2sam]

Are u on clomid now? X
