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

[Angel5000]

Good luck SHeece! Your BD looks great!!

Jezika - I can't remember if I posted pics here. I've added pics of my scans now though.

The first one is 4w+6, and the tiny black blob is the gestational sac.
The second one is 6w+1 (about a week and two days later) and you can see how much bigger the gestational sac (black blob) is, and inside you can see the yolk sac and a tiny blip of baby above the yolk sac. Right now fetus is much smaller than yolk sac, but by next appointment (Tuesday) doctor says we'll be able to see more definition of the fetus. Both pics are zoomed at 150%, so you can see how much larger the gestational sac grew in just a week! It's kind of crazy how fast it's going.

angel those pics are so precious and to think thats in weeks and you can see the growth. you are truly being spoilt with all these images and US.

Sheese fx for you.

 

[Angel5000]

thanks. I am definitely spoiled. I don't know what i'll do when I hit 12wks and no longer get my weekly scan!

Man this is a tough thread to catch up on!

Sheesh: wow what a long cycle! Is that normal for you? Congrats on the crosshairs, looks like you timed it well if accurate. Fx!!

Angel: I missed your scan in the other thread. How awesome! You said you could see a faint flicker of a heartbeat?

Question for you guys about cm. long story short I'm dealing with a confusing double pos opk situation (two different + digi readings on different opks three days apart). Got the second one yesterday and when I checked my CM it was creamy but also had a glob of clear, stretchy ewcm-like CM at the exact same time. Have you guys dealt with that before? And no it wasn't semen or arousal fluid.

 

[Angel5000]

Etis - yeah, I got to see just a flicker. It was hard to tell it was even a heart beat, but the doctor said that the flickering (which just looked like the screen was flickering, really) was a heart beat. I'm hoping to get a better view this week.

I've had mixed CM before wehre it was mostly creamy with a glob of EWcm in it. When I get that I classify it as EW because FF says to classify CM by the most fertile CM you get in the day. Since you got two different peak readings, I'd act like today's peak was a true peak and try to get in some BD, just in case. So weird that you got two different + readings though!

Was it two different types of monitor or was one an opk and one a monitor? I've had different things from temps, monitor and opk's but I can normally pinpoint o day by cross referencing them all. I'd keep bding just in case

So it's actually two of the advanced cbe digis. I had extra so I was using both this time because I suspected I got a false positive early with the digis last cycle. Both got high readings on the same day, then one of them got a peak reading in the afternoon of CD9. The other did not get a peak reading until CD13. I've also been using wondfos, which were all negative until yesterday (CD14) when I got + reading on those as well. Used the wondfos twice yesterday and both were +. Today, I tested with smu with a wondfo and it was negative. So you'd think I probably ovulated overnight or something...but my BBT took a nose dive today, so I'm really not sure what's going on. BD yesterday and the day before though, so hopefully I did o and got the timing right.

 

[Angel5000]

You can O anywhere from 12-48 hours after your +OPK so with today's nose dive I think you will O today. Maybe tomorrow but you def didn't O yesterday. BD again today if you can to add one more batch of spermies to the mix!

Good luck!

My dad is in town and staying with us this week which makes BD slightly awkward. The wall between our room and the guest room is very thin but we did manage to sneak some BD in yesterday sooo maybe we can pull it off again tonight

 

[Angel5000]

oh yeah it's always tricky when parents are in town. I'm so glad our master bedroom is on the other side of the house from the other bedrooms!

Haha yeah that'd be nice but we're city folk in a hundred year old townhouse so not as lucky. The rooms are all in a row

Yeah our townhouse was like that. We bought a house in a small town that's a little more "country" but we're still very close to the city (just a 15 minute drive to the mall, but you wouldn't guess it from the surrounding area). We were in a townhouse the previous year and then in apartments before that so I totally get your pain!

 

[Sheece]

Angel - how precious are those scans!! Amazing how much they change in a week!

Jezika - good to see you back here, and great news on the 12 week scan!

Etisgonnab - Every now and then i have a really long cycle, this time Im pretty sure it was because I miscarried last cycle @ 4 weeks - its actually a shorter cycle than I expected to be honest, I thought I'd be all over the shop for longer!

Ive also had the creamy CM with EWCM this cycle, same as you mentioned. I classed it as EWCM instead of creamy if that helps.

Speaking of all over the shop, check out my chart - Had a big dip yesterday and another one today - in my pregnancy cycle I had a dip around here too but this cycle the dips are bigger. Fingers crossed, as usually I don't get dips in the LP, hopefully its a good sign!

I keep prodding my boobs to see if they hurt though because that was my other main symptom, getting a bit silly over here

 

[Whimsical88]

sheece over prodding your own boobs...hmmmm...maybe leave them alone before you hurt them my fx for you. i hope that temp drop means a whole lot.

Etis i hope you can get some silent BDing....its really hard and tricky but try anyway.

angel how are you?

 

[Angel5000]

I'm doing alright. 7w scan is today and DH probably won't be able to make it because they have him working out of town over an hour away. he told them 3 weeks ago that he needed to be off early every Tuesday for the next several weeks and they won't scheduled him at a job close by this week. Makes me angry. I just hope it's all good because if it's not I light lose my mind by myself

Not having any MS and my only symptoms right now are exhaustion and absolutely no appetite. (Sore boobs but I'm on progesterone supplements so that would cause that anyway). I can't decide if I'm thankful or nervous about the lack of MS. I just hope it stays away through Friday so I can get through my thesis presentation!

Sheece - your temps are crazy! Hopefully this is a good sign for you! Keeping fx! When are you planning to test?

 

[Etisgonnab]

Sheece: roflmao at the boob poking. I do the same thing, like constantly kind of pushing my forearms into the sides of my boobs while I'm sitting at my computer typing....trying to be all sly about it so my coworkers aren't like "ummm why are you always feeling yourself up you weirdo?"

Angel: good luck with your scan tonight. Sucks about DH's job though so fx crossed that news is all good. look at the positive with the lack of MS--you don't have to worry about throwing up all the time and can push through your presentation to be done with grad school. Good luck!

Whimsical: Thanks! We did get another round of sneaky BD in last night so we're three for three in as many days. My temp rose today, so hopefully my od was yesterday and there were plenty of strong sperms waiting on my egg to arrive. Fx!

 

[Angel5000]

Had my 7w scan today! Baby is measuring at 6w+6 (I'm 7w+1), and doctor says this is normal range. He can see that kidneys are functioning now, and thinks that next week we will get to HEAR heart beat! So excited! He made sure to ask about spotting, twice, and pointed out that my embryonic sac is getting closer to the hematoma and that if it hits it I will probably spot, which is okay, but if i do start spotting they'll put me on restricted duty at work. Really really hoping this holds off for another couple weeks!

The bad news is that my next week appointment they had to move from 3:30 to 1:30 so I'll have to take time off. Again. Ugh. So over losing $ !

 

[Sheece]

the good news is that today my temp went back up and my boobs are sore on their own not very sore. More only a tiny tiny bit sore but still, I'll take it

I tested this morning, bfn. Im trying to catch an early positive again so I can get to doctor and get progesterone tested just in case that is what caused my MC last time.

Boo to DH's work Angel And to the fact you have to take time off next week. Juggling work & scans must be hard at the best of times. The place I was booked in for my scan had opening hours of 9 - 5 monday to friday. I work 8 - 5 as do most people, so makes it hard!

 

[Whimsical88]

angel that bean is just growing......sorry about DH not being able to be there but happy that all went well. its so hard to actually have a life outside working in this day and age. sorry about the $ loss but in about 7 months you will have a little angel and it will be all worth it.

Sheece i really do not know what to even say about your cycle. GOD PLEASE GIVE YOU ANSWERS NOW. SS- sore boobs......what else?

Etis 3 for 3, that sounds promising. fx this is it.

 

[abennion]

Oh Angel! These early scans are so precious! I hope you're keeping them in a baby book it will be a wonderful thing to be able to look back on!

Sheece, I know how you feel. I'm glad your temps went back up! Hopefully you'll get your BFP super early!

FF finally gave me crosshairs on CD22! We got in a couple really good BDs this cycle. DH even abstained from doing ANYTHING for three days on O day, so hopefully that was the ticket. I want to test early to see if we need progesterone. I go in for my progesterone bloodwork on Saturday, so if we do get a BFP I'll head to the doctor to see if I can get my results early and see if they're low. I am worried FF is going to take my crosshairs away, temps aren't nearly as high as they should be. Here's hoping!
