CD 10 & TTC after MC (in Dec), 2nd cycle trying since, anyone wanna buddy up?

[Afamilygal]

Well I certainly hope you can give him a bfp for his bday!
Wait and see why re has to say. 22, that's not too far away! baby dust!
As for me, 2 or 3 dpo. Think 2.
Feeling normal as usual. Saw a great endo nurse today who is sending me to a
Nutrionist which I'm hoping helps some.'my blood sugar is still too high since I don't produce much insulin. Blah.
Am on my way to NYC to see my sister and go to a wedding won't be far from you!!

I have an appointment to do day3 blood testing on the 29th. I should get af on the 27th.
So! The 2ww is on again!!
Good luck to you Kat!!

I am about 3dpo as well, as far as FF suggests. I was thinking more like 2dpo myself. Also, FF has estimated AF to arrive on the 27th as well. So, It looks like you and I are on the same cycle pretty much what will they be testing you for on CD3 bloodwork? I just had my thyroid re-checked and it's still not good I am thinking that this is what may be keeping the egg from implanting. I hope they change my dose of meds again. Have fun NYC and yes...it IS close

 

[Afamilygal]

New York is crazy.
Let's see, cd3 blood will be fsh, lh, estrogen and testosterone. I want to rule out pcos.
Women with insulin resistance also have pcos too. She said my ovaries don't look like typical pcos ovaries so we'll see.
I'm not so sure I ov'd properly this cycle. My temp went up from 97.4 ish pre ov to 97.9 which is a lot lower than my usual post ov temps. normally its not below 98.1 and goes up to 98.3 on average.
So... Hopefully that's not bad. My pre temps used to be around 97.6 too...
That's funny about our cycles in sync again. They often are aren't they?
Wonder how Kate is doing...

Later gator!

Howdy ladies

Sorry that I haven’t been on sooner, only just back from my holiday which was totally AMAZING! Had such a lovely time relaxing by the pool, was so nice to get away from work and the crappy English weather! Sounds like you guys have been busy. So much to catch up on.....

Rose - Hope you had a great time in NYC, I love that city, was there earlier this year Sorry to hear about the tests that you have to have but in a way if there is anything wrong there is so much that can be done. I am thinking of going to the doctors soon, me and my other half have decided to wait till October and if I don’t get a BFP my then I want to get things check out. The only problem with the Heath Service in the UK is that it’s not private so the waiting lists to see a fertility doctor are so long. Might consider going private thou. Am thinking of you sweetie, really hope you get ur BFP this month

Kat - I have everything crossed that you get your BFP for you hubbys birthday hun, that would be such an amazing bday gift! I don’t think it’s the end of the rope for you, try to remain positive hun and FX this is the cycle for you. So when will you be TTC again, will you be waiting until after the wedding?

So any symptoms as of yet? I haven’t been using the CBFM this month again so am not 100% sure where I am, I know I am CD13 and I think I am OV around now as had some cramps today and some EWCM yesterday so have BD the last few days and today, will do so 2morrow just to be sure Have been so so so much more relaxed about the whole TTC thing, I was so obsessed by it all and it was really getting me down. But am missing using the CBFM and temping so will be going for it full force next month (that’s if I don’t get my BFP first!).

Have really missed u guys, sorry that I haven’t been in contact more. I really hope that we all get our dream soon

Byeeeeeeeeee

Katexxx

 

[4boys1girl]

Kate It's so nice to see you back I am soo glad you enjoyed your holiday. Did you et to wear your bikini that you wanted to wear? I bet you looked great!

It looks like if you O around now, we will all be pretty close in cycle. AWESOME! If the appointment waiting list is long for the specialist, maybe you should call now and get on it, if you get a BFP you can cancel. If not, at least you are already on the list. Worth a shot

It's great that you are relaxed about it all...I am NOT, lol. After this month I will relax because we won't be trying, but for now, I am OBSESSED! I think if I don't get a BFP this cycle (which I am pretty sure I won't), I will join back at the gym and start working on myself and preparing for the wedding. Then, maybe when it gets real close to the wedding, we may start "not trying not preventing". Hubby just laughed when I told him we weren't gonna try anymore. I think he doesn't believe me , lol. MEN!

Anyway, I had my thyroid rechecked and my TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) was still high. So I called my RE to see if he wanted to up my dose of med, but he said NO. He said he will discuss everything when I come to see him next Thursday. I am bummed because I feel like he is gonna tell me that theres no more we can do. If the egg CAN fertilize, but CAN NOT implant, then even IVF or IUI wouldn't make a difference. I'll see what he has to say next week.

Rose, I was thinking the same about not ovulating properly this cycle either. My temps have been around 97.1 or 97.2. then it shot up to 98.1 one time, and that may not have been accurate because I was majorly sleep deprived from work. since it has been at 97.5 or 97.6 and I feel like that it too low for post-ovulation temps. last cycle it was way over 98. IDK what to think and I won't know if I Od or not because my stupid RE wont test!!! UGHH, this gets me going!!!

Have a great night girls. Talk to you soon

 

[Afamilygal]

Heeeey Kate! Indeed, welcome back! We have missed you! Sounds like you have a plan which is a good thing. Kat may be right about getting yourself on a list now just in case. It's a whole lot easier to cancel. The nhs is a bugger about infertility I know. BUT hopefully you wont need to even need it! Fingers x'd!!

And kat, sorry you're blue about this but do wait to hear what re says and if he says it's hopeless, find someone else!! Sounds drastic but don't give up! And don't let anyone tell you that you can't have your dream. Where there's a will...

No symptoms here. Confused about my temps. DH mentioned the time changes between co, tx and ny which are all an hour apart so that could be what's caused the mix up? So that makes sense kinda... Its only an our or two but still... Let's hope!
NYC is awesome but I'm ready to be home and settle in fall in Texas. Love this time of year!
Love you gals!

[Afamilygal]

Hey guys! Well I have been stalking quite a few b&b threads like the big thread of early signs and keep going, ooo, I have that or that. Going nutty!! I've been pretty good for the past cycle or 2 about not going too nuts and that's all out the window now!
I don't why I feel like this one is different, it's not like I even have a bunch of symptoms! My bbs seem fuller to me and the left one is sore, my nips were REALLY sore a few days ago right after ov, but I think that was just ov.

I don't have any remarkable cm or funny smelling pee (like last time) so IDK what's gotten into me! I'd like to believe it's just a feeling but I think that thread has made it worse. I'm sooo tired but I'm also doing a lot of traveling and that will do it all right.
Oh, also I've been getting very weepy and irrationally upset or angry forno good reason. WHY am I so mental?? Bah...

What about you guys? Any symptoms to share?
Xo

 

[katestar53]

Hey hun, it all sounds pretty promising Especially the sore boobs and tiredness,what DPO are u? I really need to get back into the swing of things with TTC, I feel like I have been out of the game for the last few months! Am going to go for it next month unless I get my BFP this cycle! I havent a clue what DPO I am but am CD16 so am guessing I am 2/3 DPO, not noticed much yet but Im sure I will be symptom spotting any day now!!

Quick question for you, when do you guys DTD? Do you BD everyday and from what CD do you start? Also what time of day do you ? Its just that I have read so many conflicting views Im not sure what to believe? Currently we DTD as soon as I go high on the CBFM then every day after that. What do you guys do?

Hope you had a great weekend

K xxxx

 

[Afamilygal]

Hey doll! We did the same up until the last 3 cycles where we have been DDT first day of high, then skip til peak where we do it both days of peak and the day after. It is either early am or in the pm before dinner. I never feel sexy after eating
But it's whenever we can get it in. We used to Dtd like 11 days in a row but I was afraid his swimmers needed more time to recoup.
Oh, also we so it throughout the rest of
Month now and then.

I've also been having a few pulling sensations in my belly today. Fingers crossed so tight I am cutting off circulation!!
Also, im 7dpo.
Xo

 

[Afamilygal]

I feel like dtd before bedtime would be good, cause you could stay flat for a long long time. Have you heard that?
I read that it takes like 20 seconds for sperm to meet egg but I lie flat for 25-45 min after dtd to be sure.
I always have to pee after sex too. Can't help it.
No more symptoms, am beginning to think it was all in my head.
My temp went down to 98.17 and I don't have a lot of cm which I think is a sign for me. No nausea either. And I'm now 8dpo. I think i would be feeling more now.
We'll see, af is due on the 26th so still a week to wait, but I'll start spotting on the 25th, so really less time.
How you ladies getting on?

 

[katestar53]

Wow 20 seconds for the sperm to meet the egg, thats really quick! We tend to DTD right before bed as well, then we get some cushions and shove the under my bum whilst Im cycling with my legs in the air, tres romantic!! I think I will go back to every other day till peak then 3 days in a row. I have also read that the best time to have sex is between 3-7pm as the are more lively then and 35% more active! Thanks for ur advice sweetie

Soooooooooo anymore sypmtoms? I for some reason have bad bacache but think that might be from the gym! Think I am about 4dpo so too early too tell I guess! FX for both of us, when will u test?

Kat - I hope ur doing ok? Sending u a big cyber hug

 

[Afamilygal]

Wow 20 seconds for the sperm to meet the egg, thats really quick! We tend to DTD right before bed as well, then we get some cushions and shove the under my bum whilst Im cycling with my legs in the air, tres romantic!!

Ha! LOL, love this. Does the motion get them motivated?
I usually tell him to "get off quick!" and shove a bunch of pillows til I'm as vertical as I can get which usually means I'm slipping backwards and my head is being flattened against the headboard. Lol. The things we do for these s!!! They better appreciate us!

I've had cramping in both the left and right side ( I ov'd on right this cycle) and my temps are not high had to get up really early yesterday in ny to fly back and now I'm back on tx time so it could be the time change has things all messed up. Plus I had to get up and pee last night which I haven't been doing in a while so could have thrown it too. Who bloody knows.

I have an almighty headache too but I could chalk that up to the travel and allergies. Austin is the worst for allergies. Sigh.

I had dinner last night with DH and my mum and she was driving me CRAZY! I had the shortest fuse ever. I kept going to the bathroom and giving myself a pep talk about being a bitch and the she's your mother speech. I'm just so irritable which could be a sign right? That or I'm becoming a nasty person to be around.

I dunno, I feel like there's somehying going on and there are times she I'm sure this is it but then I get insecure and think that all the symptoms could easily be af and I've had sure feelings before and I was dead wrong.
I bounce back and forth between being sure and then telling myself I'm ridiculous.

I don't have any significant cm and I'm now 10dpo. I feel like that would be a good sign for me. I'm not dry but I don't have much and I feel like I did last time. I can hardly remember now.

I had bad bm for the past few days but it is better now tg, it was yucky.

Besides that, just tired but I always am this time of month, especially with allergies.

So that's it for me, what about you guys. Any psychic feelings? symptoms?

 

[4boys1girl]

HI girls! been working the last 3 nights, so slept all 3 days. Off for 4...yay! Irritability? I have loads of it and I get really down between ovulation and AF. I think, for me, it is always a sign AF is approaching. Funny thing is, I know I am being a bitch, but I just can't stop it. Then I get more bitchy bc I know it isn't my month if I am moody. Its so frustrating. I am 10DPO as well. Stopped temping. I am almost given up, with a teeny tiny strand of hope for this month, but thats it. Tomorrow I have my appointment with RE. I can't wait to hear what he thinks. I think I may test in the am with FRER just in case i needed to tell the doc any new news I don't expect much though. i had lots of creamy CM this past week, but yesterday and today it has lessened and tonight it turned thick and yellowish...it ALWAYS does that right before AF. I have no other symptoms. I have chocolate cravings which also gets me down, because that always happens before AF too. Ughh. Hope you both have better luck. Rose, when will you test?

 

[Afamilygal]

hey Kat! missed you- glad you are back. I hope you enjoy your 4 days off!! what you gonna do? anything fun? why dont you treat yourself- get a pedicure or go to a great bakery and fix your chocolate craving?

I'm sorry that you don't feel this is your month but if I have learned one thing from trolling through the big thread of early signs for HOURS (yikes- this isnt a joke there's like 157 something pages) is that there are a lot of women who think it isn't their month, get AF signs or nothing at all and end up with a BFP so you never know right?

I'm still hopeful for you and I think you should be too. so you'll test today before you appointment? its 11 dpo for you too then. can you get a positive so soon? have you been able to with your other kids?

I tested this morning with a FRER and got a BFN. I tested early cause my temp went right up again and I was feeling lucky. HA!
thing is, my head is now saying "ok, thats a pretty clear sign, maybe you should not be so nutty and be realistic" but I still have hope! my heart is telling my brain to F^#$ off and let me dream.

last pregnancy I tested at 10dpo but with a OPK (dumbass) I grabbed it really fast and peed on it and then realized- it was negative. (I have heard of women peeing on OPKs when pg and it gives them a opk+ but this was not the case in mine. so the next time I tested was 15dpo and got a very fast and strong + (on the proper test- )

so I don't know when it would come up + for me. Ill probably test again at 12 dpo. I should probably wait til 13 dpo cause I will start spotting so we'll see where my willpower is at the time

but if AF comes then I have an appoint on the 29th (think I told you about that) to run some tests and try to figure out why.

so thats it for me. xoxo

 

[4boys1girl]

I really think waiting is better. I didn't used to think so, but 2 of my close girlfriends tested and tested all the way up until AF was due, and got negatives. My one friend even said she thought AF was on her way. Then, a few days after no AF she text me and said "I have this weird pink CM" and I was like "oh, maybe IB? maybe O'd later then thought?" So, she ran to the store late at night, tested and got a BFP! Same for my other friend. she was a week late before she got a BFP. For me, I was planning on waiting until AF didn't show to test, but I tested bc of my doctor appointment. BFN. FF has me at 11dpo, but I am thinking more like 9 or 10dpo. It shows a strong temp rise but it may not be accurate bc I worked, was super sleep deprived and temped very late in the day, and I was ROASTING. So, who knows, I think it is early, but like I said, I don't think this is it for me. Hopefully for you, it is. I think that while there are woman who get BFPs early, I don't think it is the norm. Even my RE told me last cycle that 12dpo is too early to test. I will not test again this cycle. I will wait it out for AF. I will keep you updated later on what the doctor has to say. TTYL
Kat

 

[Afamilygal]

Kat- you're so right about the waiting. MUCH smarter to wait. after all, its easier to just get AF than to see that sad lonely one line...
I have a friend who tests positive at like 8dpo. hate her.
but I think you are right about it not being the norm. and those tests are EXPENSIVE. I did get a pack of 3 from Target for a great price- like $8 on promotion. fyi.
FF is wrong all the time I think, it sounds like you are 10dpo too.
good news about the temp rise though- you said you were roasting? I think that happens to some pg women early on ( according to big thread) so maybe that is a good sign.
I hope so.
Do let me know what the dr says- good luck! Ill be checking my computer all day.
xo

 

[4boys1girl]

So Not to eventful at the docs today. Just sat and talked for about an hour. my thyroid is off, which I knew, so we are changing my dose of med again. He said "we will work on getting that regulated, then, if you still don't get pg we will see what else it could be." I was like, "what else is there, we have checked everything else and everything is normal?" So he said, this may be the only problem and that when the body is not regulated metabolically, the environment just isn't suitable for a pregnancy and the body "won't allow it." He said same goes for those with diabetes. I did explain to him that I will continue to work on getting the thyroid regulated, but I am not going "to try" with everything else. I am dropping the temping, timed intercourse and after my last round of clomid, I wont be going back on that either...it's all too stressful. So, he agreed that it is ok, and If I change my mind and want to try the clomid again, I can. So, I guess we'll see what happens from here. Tomorrow is Hubbys birthday, I guess he wont be getting a BFP for his birthday Oh well, now I have to think of something good to buy him. Saturday is my daughters birthday, but we are having her party tomorrow, at chuck E Cheese. she cant wait! For now, waiting for AF. TTYL
Kat

 

[Afamilygal]

Aw Kat. I'm sorry dear...
I know how much you want this.
at least he didn't say its the end of the rope like you feared? my dr said the same thing about regulating. that it can be too hard for the body. i'm been working like a BEAST to keep that under control on top of all of this and I'm pooped.
well, this break will help you hopefully to get that under control so you can try again with more confidence yes?
I have faith for you Kat. Im sorry it has been so hard.

on another note, I had some bleeding today in my undies and a little bit when I peed too (tmi- sorry) but it has been brown so far and Im REALLY hoping its IB and not my stupid AF coming early.

we shall see.

Big Hug Kat. xoox

 

[4boys1girl]

ooooh...I HOPE SO TOO Do you ever spot this early before AF? I do, so I would never think IB for me, but for you I have my fingers crossed!!

 

[Afamilygal]

No not this early. Its usually One day before so If it's af then the spotting is 2 days early and af is 3 days early. But maybe I miscalculated ov wrong. Its possible.

I'm REALLY hoping this is it... Really hoping.
