CD1 August 11th - wanna keep one another sane?

[Lyns]

Awww JJF I hope you have a relaxed few days and come back feeling refreshed and hopefully pregnant when you are ready!

Well, ladies, I'm afraid my spotting last night has turned to full flow this morning so I'm out. CD1 for me. I promised myself I wouldn't get to upset this month as I entered the month with a short LP and didn't have high hopes, but you can't help but get excited when you go for 2 days longer than previous past Ov, so I'm a bit down, but I'll be OK.

I too am going to try and be a little more relaxed this cycle. I'm still going to use my monitor, but I'm taking nothing but folic acid and although we always lead quite a healthy lifestyle, I am going to treat myself to a few drinks this month. I have a couple of weddings to go to, and friends visiting this weekend, and I'm fed up of making excuses about not having a drink when they know I love a glass of wine (only 1 or 2 though....I'm not that bad! )

And as I previously said, if Ov falls CD13 and 14 this month, then hubby is away anyway so probably no chance for us. He will be in bristol, I'm in the very far reaches of Noth Wales and will be working so there's just no way, unless his meetings change.

Oh well, c'est la vie!

[celine]

Yeay Popps!!!
I got bfn this afternoon with 2nd mu..I know I shouldnt of tested but Poppies news gave me a thrill!!

 

[CHILLbilly]

JJF I know how you feel and will probably take a break during 2ww next cycle.
Its a fun chat from cd1 til cd18. But the 1ww is killer.....to many symptom spotting and wasted time online.
I love chatting with my cycle buddies as well as other friends I have met online...you guys always understand the anticipation of O time....the anxiousness of 2ww as well as the defeat of an AF showing up early as well as late.

Poppi-...Good to hear your #1 of our buddies to see 2 lines !!!!!!!
here's hoping we get a few more.
I have sent OH out to buy me 2 tests. I am due for AF on Mon/Tues so may not test until sat or sunday.

Lyns..I'll be sending you a private message luv!

 

[kittiekat]

Congratulations Pop!!!!!!!

I still don't think this is a good month for me but will wait and see. I am 8 dpo tomorrow and just want to test just to get a simple yes or no but can't as its still too early!!!!!!!!

Good luck over the weekend Chilly when you test........bring us back the 2nd from our group!

 

[csmummu]

Aw lyns keep positive and maybe next cycle with a few drikie poos might help as for one or 2 glasses of wine... nice new profile pic is that youe wine cellar

CHilly good luck for the weekend.

I hope you get some more BFP's over here!

 

[JJF]

Girls, I am so confused...sent the five year old to go find the tests she hid for me this afternoon (have much morning willpower, NONE in afternoon, UGH) Cheapies are the ones I've been using this whole month. AGAIN I got a FAINT FAINT line on the green OPK test (but it acted a bit strange) so thats a FAINT FAINT on 6dpo, FAINT FAINT 8dpo and now FAINT FAINT on 11dpo. However taken prego internet cheapies off and on since like 7dpo and NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING but the control lines on those.

WHAT THE HELL? They are both 10miu (I'm assuming) so either my OPKS are jacked up and are a bad batch or my PREGO tests are a bad batch....I'm thinking I'm out as I don't feel as prego as I did as early as 3dpo but these different test answers are killing me.

Could I have just enough ovulation hormone to be causing the green sticks to give me two lines? My temps are still up as of 11dpo. Any ideas?

 

[CHILLbilly]

JJF- wait til your late.....
Whats your DPO? 11?
So maybe evap lines ( i have no idea about evap just read about them on here all the time)
Wait til you are 13 dpo... you'll have a higher amount of hCG ( 25 and up by then i think)

I just looked that up as my tests read 25. Wait til Sat. and test with Me!!!!

 

[CHILLbilly]

Aw lyns keep positive and maybe next cycle with a few drikie poos might help as for one or 2 glasses of wine... nice new profile pic is that youe wine cellar

CHilly good luck for the weekend.

I hope you get some more BFP's over here!

hahaha I noticed the winery as well...LOL
Party at Lyns house.......

and a question about the whole have a few drinks while TTC...does a few glasses help get the "juices" flowing?? or just relaxes us more..haha
Hmmmm Our renters left us 1 bottle of red and a half of white from their weekend here at our cabin!!!!! If AF shows on Monday I will drink both bottles myself......lol.
and buy another bottle in prep for in a few weeks.......

My poor OH has gone without since cd18. I am to scared to have sex during 2ww..... and to tired to give him a hand( so to speak) haha. Except this morning I almost jumped him...but felt a twinge in uterus so I didn't.
poor guy

 

[Lyns]

hahaha I noticed the winery as well...LOL
Party at Lyns house.......

EeeK! Never noticed that! lol! That picture was taken a couple of months back at a gorgeous Paella restaurant in Valencia....wish I had a wine cellar!

Least it gave me a smile! I just thought, new cycle....new picture....new chance! Oh and I'm sipping a glass of a nice dry white right now!

I do love you girls..... Come on, I need at least 3 BFP's from you all this week/weekend! Then next month, I'm coming to 1st tri after ya! lol!

 

[csmummu]

I do love you girls.....

/me waits for the hiccup ...... lol...

i think its lovely when you gel with a group i like the group i had my first month here there were these 2 nutters.... lyns and chillywilly or something like that i was gutted to be 7 days late and on a different cycle! lol...

Chilly i dont think drinking a little is so bad - not that i do it not in the tww though last time i went out was a friend birthday nearly 3 weeks ago and the time be for that was a year before!!! needless to say i was very drunk! lol.

JFF i hope you get some answers this weekend maybe the HGC homeone hasnt peaked yet.. i saw this lovely website where it explains that the OPKs and HTP booth look for hormone x and HTP looks for hormone x and y and will not show positive until y is there ... or soemthing along those lines hence why OPKS may be used as HTPs... Sorry if i made things worse. I think it was POAS.com (hubby didnt believe me this site existed lol) maybe you can treat your self to a FERER on sunday? and i love the fact your 5 year old has a hiding place... good job it wasnt in the toilet systern!!!

Love Monica i mean Max xxx

 

[Lyns]

/me waits for the hiccup ...... lol...

Cheeky madam!

TBH I don't honestly think the occasional drink does anyone any harm while TTC, as long as its not 'occasionally' once an hour!

I haven't really been drinking over the last couple of months, more as a detox than anything else. I decided to make sure my system was purged of any lingering effects of Depo Provera. Although it was well over a year since my last injection....I picked up some scare stories about girls having problems 2 or 3 years on, so figured a detox would do me no harm.

And if you carry on with longer cycles and I get shorter and shorter ones Max, we'll be back in the same buddies group before we can say BFP!

 

[csmummu]

hehehe thats a good point... liking the idea of detox to rid the body of evil depo --- off to the fridge for chocolate...

 

[CHILLbilly]

I'm to tired to respond tonight...its 8pm. I don't thnk I'm sleeping much thro the night for some reason.
I'm goint to bed soon..haha.....hope to catch up tommorrow!!!!!
nitey nite!!!

 

[JJF]

Hola ladies, love the pic Lyns. I read up on the poas website, thanks for sending that information. I guess this whole time I was confused as the FAINT lines I've been seeing were all on OPK's, I didn't realize they were supposed to be dark to really mean anything. I've been obsessing over the charts at FF and it seems that there are plenty of ladies that don't get their positive results until missed AF so maybe I'll just sit tight and wait for witch (one can hope for willpower, right).

Good luck to everyone testing tomorrow and on Sat, I'm so excited!!!

 

[JJF]

YIPPIE, Miel taught me how to get my ticker working and I finally got it all figured out..whew, I feel better now, ha.

 

[JJF]

sorry to be my usual obsessed self but I was reading tonight on FF about how small of a percentage of women get their bfp on 9dpo, 10dpo, etc, however doesn't it seem to you ladies that is a higher percentage of women than they say. I some how came across the following site (https://www.uptheduff.org/index.php/forums/viewthread/388/P0/) and it shows lots of tests and MANY MANY of these women have 2 lines at 9dpo and up. I just feel like what I read and what I'm seeing on bandb are two different answers. Was feeling pretty positive after I read some good posts on my journal but now I've talked myself into knowing I'm out.....good lord I just need to relax, ha!!!!!!!

 

[CHILLbilly]

haha JJF...i was wondering why only a link for ticker........
NOW IF YOU forget what DPO you are all you need to do is look at your posts..lol

and about seeing lines on OPK's and beng faint....well i think you have preggo brain..hahahaha

i was so worried you ment fading lines after a good positive on HPT.
Bet you feel relieved now...

I some how came across the following site (https://www.uptheduff.org/index.php/forums/viewthread/388/P0/)
