CD2, anyone with me?

[Destinyk]

Shudknow I've got fx for you too, I've been trying for three months as well and it's feel like centuries . I do feel for the ladies lttc it must be so hard :/ it really is emotionally draining

 

[Maddy_desie]

Shudknow, sorry the witch got you.

I feel like every month ttc is an eternity. This will be month 7 for me.

Although I am feeling pretty good about this cycle. I haven't gotten CH on FF yet, but I think it's because I haven't had 3 days of high temps yet. However, they jumped up really high this morning. I got a pos OPK on CD 14, so I think I may have O on yesterday on CD 15 (on CD 16 now).

We BD on CD 12, 14, 15 and will try to BD tonight just in case. Hopefully we have all our basis covered!

With the EWCM, it is really strange. I use to get tons of it (sorry tmi), but when we started ttc, it went away. The last two months I have started to see it again. We have also been using pre-seed, so hopefully that will help too.

I really hope this month will be our month! So sick of seeing a stark white HPT. I want that BFP!!!

4DPO here. I've decided if this isn't our month next cycle I am trying soft cups and drinking grapefruit juice as I've heard it helps with CM. However I am feeling pretty good about this month even though we missed Oday and OH is feeling confident as well. Guess we'll have to wait and see!

 

[shudknow]

Maddy and Destiny, I have my FX'd for you two as well! I hope you get your BFPs this cycle.

Maddy, that's pretty good BD timing and I totally know what you mean by how your EWCM went away right when you TTC, it is strange how our bodies sometimes play tricks on us. The same thing happens to me too, the first month of TTC, I felt like I didnt have any EWCM but on the second one, I felt I had more. It is strange but I take comfort in the fact that just because I dont see it doesn't mean it isn't up there (sorry, tmi). Anyway, it is great that EWCM is back for you, so hopefully it will help you catch that egg this cycle!

Destiny, seems like the fact that you didnt BD on ovulation day is somewhere at the back of your mind! haha, dont you worry gal...your BD times look great on your chart and I heard that sperm can live up to 5 days in a woman's body so dont worry. You have all your bases covered I am sure

to both of you for this cycle!

I am on CD5 today, seems like forever!! aarghh, I totally dislike waiting for ovulation day, every day seems to drag on and on...lol Long way to go for me before I even ovulate but trying to be patient and hang in there

 

[Destinyk]

Shudknow thanks girl your right the fact that we didn't get Oday has been bumming me out but I did get those other days so I'm feeling a little better. Last cycle I got Oday and obviously that didn't work lol! I did have a weird dream last night though going to copy and paste from my journal because it's a little long. I totally understand out waiting to O it's so boring! Luckily I Od early this month so hopefully you will too just to cut some waiting time out! I did get a nice jump in temps today as well.

Here's my dream:
I also had an insane dream last night ladies, for the first time EVER I dreamt I was pregnant actually I was in LABOR in my dream they had to induce me (never found out why) at 7 months. I still wanted a natural birth in my dream but since it was an induction they gave me pitocin. For some odd reason they injected it directly into my ankle (Im sure they use IV for this in real life right?) and when they pushed the fluid through it burned. I got a couple contractions after like 20 minutes of laying there with nothing and not knowing what to expect, I decided to walk around a little to "get things going" lol and I called OH to come to the hospital. Baby was moving A LOT so much I could see the whole silhouette and then suddenly it was like I could see through my belly and I could see reproductives and everything so I told OH it's a boy! Anyway it was crazy and I woke up once I saw his little face through my belly, I never actually delivered.

I also forgot to mention in this post that my child still had his little tail (before the spinal cord shortens) can you say odd?!

 

[Maddy_desie]

Shudknow- I hear you! I hate the wait to O! It'll be here before you know it though!
Destiny-hopefully a baby dream means a BFP is on its way!

I got CH on FF this morning and it puts O on CD 15 for me, so I'm 3dpo now. I think we did have good timing this month, but now I have a touch of thrush..everything I've read said it wouldn't impact implantation, but it still has me a bit worried. This tww is going to be torture!

 

[shudknow]

Destiny - that is one vivid dream! The fact that you are able to tell all the details shows how vivid it must have been. I remember when I was pregnant I had very very vivid dreams, not of being pregnant, but that I lost my mother. It was so vivid that I almost cried and couldn't think anything other than the dream for at least half a day. That was at about 10dpo though and the first time that I suspected I could be pregnant. I am going to keep my FX'd for you. Do you have any symptoms so far?

Maddy - Hope the thrush has gone away! I never had thrush before so I dont know how it can feel but doesn't sound nice though. How are you feeling now? You must be half way into your tww as well, do you have any symptoms ? Keeping my FX'd for you as well.

I am now on CD12 and still waiting to ovulate. Aarghhhh, the wait continues!! Also, my BBT has been very erratic because of the heater in my room, so really have no idea when I am going to ovulate. Started testing on OPK since CD10 and negative so far with no progression. Let's see how it goes!

 

[Destinyk]

Maddy thank you, the TWW begins FX for you!

Shudknow it was extremely vivid and wow that sounds awful sorry about those dreams! Symptoms I've had crampig, areolas look a tad darker and boobies are extremely sore. FF has told me my chart is possibly triphasic and I've been getting faint positives since 10dpo, didn't test today I will be testing tomorrow or Saturday.
Here they are. Waiting for O is the worst! I ended up Oing 5days early so I hope O comes early for you too, FX you catch that eggy!

 

[shudknow]

Destiny, so happy for you! Congratulations!

 

[shudknow]

Oops sorry, I think I reacted too quickly. Just noticed your ticker says "CD 2". All ok?

Maddy, how are things with you?

I am on CD17 now and still waiting to ovulate..aargh, it feels forever!

 

[Destinyk]

Shudknow the wicked witch of the south has paid me a visit! When do your normally O? FX for you! I'm pretty content with AF right now I'm still celebrating the 8 days that have been chopped off of my cycle!

 

[shudknow]

Aah the witch doesnt know anything better other than showing her ugly face!
There is no saying on when I ovulate, it differs month to month. The earliest I have ovulated ever is CD14 and latest is CD32, so I dont know how long I am going to be waiting..for now, just BD'ing everyday. Lets see how things go!

 

[Maddy_desie]

I'm afraid that I'm out. I started spotting yesterday, which is normal for me pre-AF. Going on cycle 8 and feeling really lousy.

For some reason, I felt really hopeful for this month. Guess I was wrong.

Cried my eyes out yesterday. . . and last night. . . and this morning. .I'm exhausted.

 

[shudknow]

Maddy, sorry that AF got you. Though this is only month #4 of TTC for me, I do understand how you are feeling. But, remember that it is true that it takes about a year even for a healthy couple to conceive. I recently visited my gyn for an annual and she told me the same thing - not to worry month after month if AF shows up but to keep BD'ing. It will happen eventually. May be you can take few days off since you are anyway going through AF, have a drink or two, stretch your legs and focus on things that you like to do.

Hang in there! Sending you lots of hugs

 

[Destinyk]

Maddy so sorry you think AF is en route, we will all get our BFPs soon! Hang in there girl

 

[Maddy_desie]

Thanks shudknow

It's also possible that I'm having such a strong reaction this month because my younger sister just came up to visit me with her brand new baby boy that was "an accident" and her boyfriend. I've tried so hard to be happy for her and she would never know, but inside it's killing me. . I feel like such a bad sister.

Really trying to pick myself up and move forward though. And I appreciate your support. Sorry for all the ranting. Just feel like I have to get it off my chest somehow.

Still spotting, so no official CD1 yet. Wish she'd just come full force so I can feel like I'm moving forward.

How are you doing? What CD are you on?

 

[Maddy_desie]

Thanks Destiny!

 

[shudknow]

Hi ladies,

Hope you are doing ok and if you are in the US, had a good thanksgiving holiday

Update from me - I did finally get a positive opk on CD22 and 23 but my temp still seems low. So, I think I did not ovulate yet. I am on CD24 already and it feels like it has been forever since I have been waiting to ovulate. Hopefully I ovulate soon and get my crosshairs on FF.

How are you ladies doing?

 

[Maddy_desie]

Shudknow, fx that you O soon! I hate waiting for that even more than the tww I think.

I'm on CD 9 today, so I'm waiting too.

 

[shudknow]

Finally have my crosshairs today putting me at 3dpo but I believe I could be either 2/3 dpo because I adjusted the temp on the current 1dpo. Anyway, I don't care much about it, right now I am just taking comfort in the feeling that I finally did ovulate. This was a very long wait! And now, the tww is here....

Hope you ovulate around the time you would like, Maddy. Good luck!

Destiny, how are things with you?
