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

[broodymrs]

We're also ntnp this cycle. Annoying started with watery cm so I may actually be having a pretty normal cycle this month! But dh has his sa tomorrow so we're having to abstain!

 

[abennion]

All is well with momma and baby. She's been having some Braxton hicks, but other than that just fine.

Took a HPT this morning for fun, BFN. NTNP is harder than it looks like! You're always hoping! I guess it's a good thing though because of my LEEP scheduled for Wednesday.

 

[broodymrs]

Glad to hear all ok with them abe. Ntnp is hard because in your head you still want a bfp!

I finally started getting EWcm yesterday. A little later than normal (at least for the last several months this is late). Ran out of digis and my last one yesterday malfunctioned so I never got my smiley face :angry: but I still my Wondfos so I'll just go back to old school ICs for this month. I'm hoping to O in the next few days. Dh needs to schedule his SA and we have to be abstinent for 2 days before hand so I am trying not to get him to schedule that for saturday with the hope I'll O soon enough this week that he can still be good to go for that.

Abe- good to hear that things seem to be ok!!

 

[mrs unicorn]

I got a +opk today so happy my body seems to be getting back to normal!

Yes NTNP is tricky. I never thought I'd ever be able to do that and not TTC. All was going ok until my +opk and now I want to try and get some bd in I'm going to try and relax though, we promised we wouldn't 'go for it' this cycle so don't want to put pressure on DH.

Angel - fx you o early this week so you can get some bd in!

 

[Angel5000]

MrsUnicorn - yay for the OPK! So glad your body is returning to normal! Good luck not pressuring dh.

 

[mrs unicorn]

So it turns out DH didn't need any coercing! We're away for a couple of days so we've had a good few days of bd! Kind of in the tww now, just waiting for FF to put in my CHs. How's everyone else doing?

 

[abennion]

Just finished my LEEP. Have a follow up PAP in 6 months. I'm out this month (they took a test before the procedure, I'm roughly 11DPO today). Officially on cycle 11 now.

 

[Angel5000]

MrsUnicorn - I'm right there waiting for Ch too. I think we're about to be TWW buddies

Abe - how'd the keep go? You feeling ok? How long did they say before you can TTC again?

 

[abennion]

I feel fine right now, thanks for asking. It was super quick, maybe only 10 mins. We've been told we have to wait 3 weeks to BD, so it looks like we may have 1-2 days before O to BD. We may as well be out next month as well.

 

[Angel5000]

1-2 days before O is still a good amount of time to catch the egg. Those little guys only live on average 3 days (though it can be up to 5) so 1-2 day Pre-O is plenty. And it's possible you could O a little later from stress (I would imagine the leep causes some stress on your body).

 

[mrs unicorn]

Glad it went well abbenion. And 1-2 days before o is perfect timing! Don't count yourselves out that cycle yet!

Angel - oh yes, tww buddies! I wasn't going to even class myself in the tww this cycle but I can't help it. I'm already comparing symptoms to my bfp cycle (not much to compare actually) I have my CHs but I think it's prob the day after. My blazing +opk was the day after FF has put o in. I tried taking the +opk out and it kept the ov line there but turned to a dashed line. Oh well, at least I know it was one of those two days!

 

[Angel5000]

MrsUnicorn - Sometimes FF can be odd! Looks like we are almost right in sync - I'm thinking I'm 2-3 DPO depends on whether I O'd on the day of my +OPK or day after. My lower temp was day of, and I often O day of, so that's what I think but because that temp rise the next day was so low FF will prob make that my O day.

 

[mrs unicorn]

So FF moved my o day when I put my temp in today, makes more sense now I think. Looks like yours will be added when you put in today's temp too angel. I agree, I think you o'd the day after your +opk. Even though your temp went up its still in line with pre o temps. But I'm no expert - I only managed to do temps and opks properly a couple of times previously! How long is your lp normally?

 

[Angel5000]

I got my CHs today I think yore right MrsUnicorn, that day after OPKntemp is still in line with preO temps so it's probable That's O day which makes me 3DPO.

My LP is typically 11 days. I had one cycle where it was 14 and I wasn't taking anything for it at all and no CP so I don't know how that happened. But generally 11.

 

[Jezika]

Just popping in to say hi and excited for everyone in TWW

Do you guys in the US have a holiday today for Easter?

And Abennion, I recently read that the vast majority of BFPs are from BDing on day of O. Not sure how true that is, but I was surprised.

 

[abennion]

Congrats on your BFP Jezika!

Yeah, we've been trying that for 10 months now, no such luck... I'm doubtful next month would be any different.

 

[Angel5000]

So today is the 4th day in a row that my temps are exactly the same. And pre-O I had two sets that were similar, where the temps were flat lined for several days. I double checekd with a second thermometer today just ot make sure and it said the same thing. And I checked my temp this morning around 10am again just to see and it read a different temp (98.9 at 10am), and confirmed that with our "normal" thermometer. So I don't think it's the thermometer.

I double checked old charts and two cycles ago I had the same thing post-O, plus the cycle before that. So I'm beginning to think flat temps are normal for me. Seems odd, but whatever. :crazy:

Jezika - Generally we don't get the Friday before Easter as a holiday. Institutions that are considered "religious" do, such as private schools, etc, but most do not (that separation of church and state thing). A lot of public schools will schedule that day as a day off or a "bad weather make up day" so they can have it off unless we have to make up bad weather, but mine doesn't. My previous schools (in Texas) alwys did though and that was nice.

OMG I just looked at your chart (I'm a chart stalker ) and saw the BFP!!!

abe I know the feeling, I've been trying for 13 cycles and so I'm sitting here this cycle thinking that I'm not sure that this cycle will make any difference. :/ Must keep our heads up. Someday we WILL get our BFP!

 

[Jezika]

Thanks guys. I'm super nervous about another CP so I'm trying not to think about it like I'm expecting.

Hmm how many national holidays do you guys get in the States? I wonder if you make up for it somewhere if you don't have Easter. Does it alway vary by State?

 

[Angel5000]

So, odd thing, I checked my cervix and cm a few mins ago and while I have creamy cm and cervix is M/S, I also had blood in the cm. not just a tiny spot either but a decent amount (enough that I went WTF and checked a second time only to get more of the same). It's reddish/pink. I don't think I've ever had this at only 4dpo. It's too early for ib for sure. Could it be from ovulation? thoughts? A little confused. :crazy:


Jezika - I understand. After my second CP I've been very anxious about another. I'm sure that if I get a BFP this cycle I'll be expecting another CP until I get several weeks in. As for National Holidays we have New Years Day, Martin Luther King Day, Presidents Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Some areas have Columbus Day as a holiday, some states have done away with celebrating it, others still do. Here in Washington State we don't really celebrate Columbus day in schools at least. Some cities of WA have renamed the holiday "Indigenous People's day" in honor of the Native American people.

National holidays don't vary state to state, but school schedules/days off/etc do vary state to state. Each school can schedule it's days off and its start/end date separately, though each state has a genera rule for the way they do it.
