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

[Angel5000]

Sheece - Glad that your temp went up! Maybe this could be a good sign. FX! My RE can do early morning scans as early as 7:30am, but my first class period starts at 7:45am and I have a 45 minute drive to my RE so I would have to still take off a half day (because we can't get a sub for less than a half day). It's okay, I'm covering a couple people's classes this week adn we get paid if we give up our period off to cover classes so that'll help a little and DH is working all the overtime they'll give him right now. I told him he has to pick up extra Saturday work because I want to pay off as many of our bills as possible before baby comes!

Abe - I am currently keeping them all on our fridge. Once I get past first tri I think I'll buy a baby book and put them in there, or I may make a scrap book with pics of the baby scans and my weekly "belly picture", to show how big I was in comparison to the baby scan. Not that I am actually growing much at this point (it's more bloat) but not the point. lol

That's great that you got CH! Bravo to DH for abstaining for 3 days! How long will itt ake them to get your progesterone results back? Mine came back next day, but my doctor ran the test in house instead of sending it to the lab.

Don't stress too much about temps. My first couple temps post O were right on cover line, then I got a spike, and then it dropped way low again. I don't think that there's a set way that temps will go if you are pregnant. And I certainly never went triphasic.

That sounds absolutely adorable! We won't know the results until our follow up appointment on July 8th. They wanted us to finish all of our fertility testing so that they can review it all at once. July was also the earliest we could get a follow up appointment. But if we get a BFP this cycle I'll go to my family doctor to see if I can get results faster. My temps are hugging my crosshairs right now, but I'm hoping for a spike tomorrow. It'll definitely put me at ease.

First cycle with Femara, Injections (Follistim 50iu) && Timed intercourse (hours 24 and 36 after trigger shot).


Anyone else? We didn't get to BD any earlier than that, which my doc said is fine but i worry about EVERYTHING. I think we will BD the day after as well just to be sure! 5 years of trying and one MC and I just want my baby.

Please send baby dust my way!

Xoxo

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.[/QUOTE]

How strange! Makes me mistrust my cbfm now! Although rarely do all my o signs align! I'd go with your second peak looking at your temps. If you kept bding hopefully you're covered anyway

 

[broodymrs]

Hello all. Lots going on over here! Glad things are looking ok Angel. Sheece hopefully that dip is implantation. Keeping fx for your follow up abe. Sorry if I've missed anyone off!

I'm just in tww. Nothing much happening. Can't imagine poking my boobs, ouch! Mine hurt pretty much constantly anyway! Testing tues if no af then to Drs for progesterone if bfp but we've really slacked off this cycle, and I've had thrush so not hopeful! Fertility referral letter came through this morning, I need to call for an appointment

 

[Etisgonnab]

Angel: sorry about the $$. Can you make up any extra with summer work?

Sherie, broody, Abe, and rainbow: good luck to you all!

AFM: FF gave me CH for cd12. We BD that day but would have liked to have done it the day before too. Oh well, now firmly in the TWW so we'll see. Definitely no physical symptoms of anything that I can tell. Not sure what I should be looking for temp wise. They should stay high?

 

[broodymrs]

Yep they should stay high. That dip could be implantation

 

[Angel5000]

Looks like lots of you are in the TWW. Keeping fingers crossed for everyone!

Etis - I have been asked to work summer school for the tribal school that I Worked at last year, and had originally said I would probably do it but am considering not now that I'm pregnant because the stress level from those kids is really really high and I'm worried about the possibility that I'll be put on restricted duty anyway from my hematoma. I am considering offering to do summer private tutoring for college or high school kids. I've done that before and can make pretty good $ since I can charge anywhere from $25-$60 an hour, depending on the family, for private tutoring. I usually charge about $40-$50 an hour, but for younger kids or families that can't afford it I take less (and for military families, there are lots of military in the area and I won't take more than $25 from a military family).

Otherwise there isn't much I can do to make extra money. DH has been picking up some overtime to help make up for it. His shop has more work than tehy can handle right now so he's doing a couple late nights plus some Saturday work days, which will help.

Your temps should stay above Coverline but will still bounce around. I often have mine drop at some point in TWW down to cover line and then back up again, so don't be surprised if your temps bounce around in TWW. The big thing is you want them to stay above the coverline.

 

[Etisgonnab]

Tutoring sounds like a great idea for making some extra cash while also being able to have a flexible schedule!

Thanks for the temping help!

 

[Whimsical88]

Tww for all the ladies....Yay. ...sending fairy dust to you all. I hope all of you get BFPS.

 

[Sheece]

Hey ladies, hope you're all well

I've been testing and all BFN's. 12DPO today, ran out of tests so I didn't test today but not feeling very hopeful about this cycle AF is due anytime now.

Been feeling weird yesterday and today though. All day yesterday I had a constant niggling pain on my left side, it mostly wasnt painful as much as annoying. A few times it spread across my whole lower abdomen, reminding me of a few of the cramps I got when I was pregnant.

Anyway last night it changed to just pain on my left when I got up or moved, semi stab like pain, as if id pulled a muscle there. Woke up this morning and its better, Im just still concious of it, and when I feel there its tender when I push in a bit.

So weird. And I definitly shouldn't have googled it :/ If it gets any worse I think I may go to the doctor, don't think its an ectopic because I haven't got a BFP yet or any bleeding / shoulder pain.

Has anyone had anything similar?

 

[abennion]

Sorry to hear Sheece. I've gotten twinges on my right side this cycle, something I had on my left last cycle (my BFP cycle). Currently 7 DPO, I have one more cheapie before I run out. My new ones should arrive by Thursday. I'll be taking a test on Tuesday, I'll be 9 DPO then. If it comes back BFN I'll wait until Friday (my birthday) to test again. AF might just be wonky for you because this is your first cycle post mc. I'd wait it out a couple of more days. Good luck Hun!

 

[Sheece]

ooo fingers crossed you get a birthday BFP Abe!

Yeah its all a bit strange. The left pain is gone now, i just feel like i have a very full uterus every time I stand up! feeling more hopeful but still.

AF usually arrives 11dpo on a normal cycle, and my bfp cycle I started bleeding 16dpo, so I might buy one more pack of tests for tomorrow morning, because my name is Shelley and I'm a POAS-aholic

 

[Angel5000]

Good luck Abe!! Fx you get your BFP!

Sheece - sorry about the negatives but you are still in the running! I encourage the testing. But I'm a bad influence

 

[Whimsical88]

Shelly the POAS aholic, i have had similar pains but normally in a day or two the pain goes away and im fine. i dont think much of it and it never happened at any specific times. its can happen doing anything, even getting up from a chair or waking from a bed. im not sure what it is. its like you ripped somthing inside. hope you dont get that again. AF arrived yet?

abe heres wishing you a birthday BFP. that would beat all the presents in the world.
fx and fairy dust to you

 

[Sheece]

Whimsy - Very strange isn't it, I've never had it before. Its mainly gone today, I just feel a few twinges every time I stand up now.

No sign of AF still, temp went up a fraction this morning too, but still getting BFN's DPO 13 today so officially 2 days late. Last time I had a whacked out cycle, AF started on 16dpo but even then my temps had started to drop for the 3 days prior to that. Mine haven't started dipping yet so im clinging to hope!

 

[Angel5000]

Could be late implantation! I'm keeping everything crossed for you!!

 

[Sheece]

Thanks Angel - I hope so!!

FF actually made a note under the implantation section that on day 42 there is a possible triphasic pattern to my chart, and day 42 is where I dipped, fingers crossed that was it and I've just got slow rising numbers this time :/

 

[broodymrs]

I quite frequently get tummy niggles. As long as they're not in your shoulder I wouldn't worry.

Update on me. Bfp on Sunday evening. Very faint. I'll post the pic in a mo. Nota great pic but you an just about see it. Bfns all day yesterday including frer so I'm thinking chemical. Fertility appt today where they'll test me anyway so will see what they say.

 

[broodymrs]
