Cheers to BFPs in 2-0-1-6!

Wifey - fingers crossed you get your AF (didn't think I'd say that either!) and you can move on from this cycle!!

AFM - my temp went up again! Still a little below post ov temps, but its on the rise as it normally would be, so I'm stoked. Will mean I will be a valentines tester too!

 

[Jezika]

I'm excited for you Valentine's Day testers! My testing could come exactly a week after. Even V Day feels so far away.

I took my first ever temp this morning. I actually woke up to pee at 3:30am, didn't realize the time and was half asleep, and so thought I better test because then I will get up to pee and that's bad. I think you're supposed to be asleep for at least three hours before? Anyway, then I came to my senses and realized that I should just go back to sleep and test at 8am again, which I did. I also had to fiddle a bit. Instructions on the thermometer say to put it in the "heat spot" behind your tongue, but I swear i couldn't put it there AND close my mouth. I also started with OPKs this morning. Had a faint line, so I guess that confirms O will come soonish...? Have no idea what I'm doing with temping, though. I've got to read up on it a bit, I think.

Oh ladies, im feeling tempted to test even though its probably too early. I'll be 6dpo tomorrow, anticipation is killing me....what do you guys think???

 

[wifeybby]

Hold off, Erin! I think its a bit early - I know its easier said than done. As a POAS addict myself I know its hard!

 

[Sheece]

My temp stayed the same as yesterday, and FF gave me dotted crosshairs! Hoping for an increase tomorrow but I'm pretty sure thats that and im 3dpo currently

Erin I know how you feel - I want to test already hahaha. I'm trying to hold off until AF is due this cycle though!

 

[broodymrs]

Yay sheece!! I'm 7dpo and hoping to hold off til 12dpo (date night!). It's killing me though but early testing always seems to bring me heartache!

 

[Erin6714]

I'm going to try to hold off until 9dpo. I don't think I can't wait much longer than that, this is our first cycle using Pre-Seed and I've heard so many good things about it I just can't wait to see if it worked.

 

[broodymrs]

We've used conceive plus Erin which is similar. Fx it does the trick for both of us!

 

[Jezika]

Erin - good luck holding out! Isn't it sooooo tempting? I swore I wouldn't test till AF is at least due, but aiming for late (IF that happens). But I know I'll cave much earlier...

 

[Sheece]

Well my post O temp has stayed the same the last three days, weird! Have had more Cm than usual though and really bloated (even though I've given up sugar and cleaned up my diet this week!) So fingers crossed. Temps aren't as high as I'd like!

Hi ladies! I'm looking for a couple new threads to join.

I'm 30 years old, DH is 31 and we are TTC#1. This marks our 1 year TTC. but a lot of that has been me trying to regulate after 15 years of BCP. I'm finally starting to have normal cycles and am really looking forward to a BFP this year!

I did message my doctor requesting a fertility referral now that I've hit 1 year. I think there's nothing actually wrong now that I'm finally getting more "normal" but I want to run the tests just to be safe.

This is CD3 for me, I'm due to test early March.

 

[broodymrs]

Hi angel. Can't hurt to get tested. Good luck and welcome

 

[Sheece]

Welcome Angel I agree with broodymrs, can't hurt to test - you will get even more peace of mind I guess!

 

[Jezika]

Angel - nice to see you on several shared threads Everyone's awesome on all of these.

 

[wifeybby]

Hi Angel!

Early testing can do more harm than good. It's so hard to wait, but it's really much better on your head and heart to wait until AF is due; otherwise you get so disappointed with the BFN or hold on to hope that it will change. I've always preferred to wait for AF to be late after testing early a few months became such rollercoasters and devastation with AF. Hope you girls are hanging in there!

AF is like 5 days late for me. BFN this morning with FMU - as expected, was not even hoping for a BFP this month. Called my RE's office and left a message for the nurses, so hopefully they'll call back with a plan from RE.

Also called the hospital to schedule pre-admission testing the morning of surgery on Friday.. The procedure isn't until 1pm but I have to be there by 11am for some basic tests (VS, blood sugar levels, etc.) before they give me general anesthesia. So I'm really looking forward to Friday, can't wait to move forward. Wish me luck, girls!

Hope you all have a lovely week!

 

[Angel5000]

Thanks everyone! I love how friendly and helpful these boards are! I follow a few threads but most of them are the pretty small groups (just a handful of people) so it's nice to branch out on occasion, and get more support.

I agree, getting tested will at least bring peace of mind. Hopefully I'll hear back from the doctor today or tomorrow about a referral. I'm also going to try to start drinking large amounts of raspberry leaf tea (recommended by my massage therapist) and try to work on some Yoga moves for fertility (also recommended by massage therapist). Hoping that'll help too.

Hi ladies do you mind if I join? We (im 30 DH is 27) have been trying to conceive since June 2014. I went to RE last October and just had a lap done last month for endometriosis. Now just waiting for AF bc I'm definitely out bc of the lap. So excited because I've heard I should be super fertile after lap!

 

[broodymrs]

Af is here. I'm out

 

[BabyForIris]

Af is here. I'm out

So sorry hun.

Good luck for next month!

 

[abennion]

So sorry to hear, Broody! A 9 day LP is a little concerning though... Are you going to be doing anything to lengthen your cycle?
