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

[Sheece]

Ooo i can see something really faint on the bottom test. Fingers crossed this is the start of your bfp!!

 

[wifeybby]

FX for you, Abe!! I don't see it but my phone sucks, and I know how hard it is to try to get the line to show in a pic. I hope it gets darker!! Please be it!! And post more tests please!!

Thank you for the info Sheece! Very interesting! Glad to hear you got to O this cycle, what a relief. Catch that eggy!

Thank you for sharing your experience with me BroodyMrs, the more I research it the less nervous I've been getting. I just hope that there's not a mess of stuff in my tubes and they can clear me out and get to that Clomid! So excited, I can't wait to get a better chance at TTC. the past 6 months have been so hard and hopeless. Its amazing to feel like you're being given a fresh start.

 

[Hope16]

Fx it will get darker Abe!! Hcg doubles every two days so give it a little more time! I'm praying for you.

Sheece, bed the next two days just in case you O late! Make sure to catch that eggy!

Emma, how are you feeling?

Broody, I knew what you meant, and thank you for the well wishes!

Wifey, I've heard of that helping so many women so hopefully that's just what you need. GL!!

 

[broodymrs]

Fx you get some progresse abe!

Hooray sheece, glad o turned up. Still waiting on mine

 

[abennion]

I have, Emma, however I think last night I got an evap line, and today I couldn't see anything...might just wait until AF is late to test again. She's due to arrive in 3 days.

 

[broodymrs]

Broodymrs - hope u o very soon what day do u normally?

Hope - feeling ok thanks for asking! But nauseous in the evenings and tired but not anything unmanageable x

Abennion - have u tested again hun? X

I haven't properly tracked while ttc no 2. With no 1 generally around cd14 but was cd18 on the cycle I got pregnant. Last month was cd21. Still no sign this month, do not know what my body is doing.

 

[broodymrs]

Thanks Emma. I was taking Agnus castus but not sure if it's made things worse! Think I'll just stick to what I did with no 1 unless a dr tells me different!

Fx something shows up in the next few days abe

 

[Sheece]

Im starting to wonder if my preconception vitamin is throwing my cycle off hmm. Cd 40 today, think i spoke too soon the other day, still dont have crosshairs on FF and my temp went down again marginally grr.

Heres my chart, dunno if you girls can see a shift, i cant!

My Ovulation Chart

 

[abennion]

Sheece- it looks like your body tried to O several times this month, but your temp hasn't fully dropped down this time so you may have o'd, FF just can't see it because your temps have been all over the place. FX!

 

[broodymrs]

I can't see it sheece but I don't find temping to be that reliable. What vitamins do you take?

 

[Jezika]

Hoping to join this thread, ladies. AF due tomorrow or a day or two after. Not feeling too hopeful for this cycle (my first one!) and time is passing sooooo, soooo slowly, but I'm confident the sought-after BFP will happen for all of us at some point.

I enjoyed reading this thread and very happy for the recent BFPers!

 

[Sheece]

Thanks Abennion - temp went down again this morning but still just above coverline. It definitely doesn't look like my usual post O pattern though so im doubtful, but hoping you're right!

CD 40 today going to be a 50 + day cycle if I ovulate anytime from now, which will make it my longest ever!

Broodymrs - I'm taking Ostelin pregnancy essentials, but I'm changing next week when I run out to blackmores conceive well + a separate vitamin D supplement (doctors orders). The blackmores one has tons more in it (Ostelin only has 4 active ingredients).

 

[Sheece]

Welcome Jezika! Fingers crossed your first cycle is your bfp cycle

 

[wifeybby]

Good morning girls, just checking in.

Well, since my consult on the 19th I started my meds and have started to feel better already (might be placebo effect lol) but I'm happy to be where I'm at. Unfortunately, I missed my fertile window and O day (CD19, 01/21) so this month is a total no go. Which is actually a good thing for me I think. I would rather wait, get the laparoscopy done and start Clomid. I also received my "Ovarian Assessment Report", stating my function and deserve is perfect - egg retrieval score of 17 (16-20 is excellent) and is above average for age group 21-25. So I've really gotten some promising news. It does make it that much harder inside though, to know all of our testing has been perfect but no BFP. Praying my heart out that RE finds something blocking the tubes, removes it and were good to go. This paperwork says there is an excellent chance of obtaining 5 or more eggs through ovarian stimulation - which I know is more IVF type of stuff, but if all indicated in going to respond well to the Clomid, I wonder if my chances for twins are better? Just me and my high hopes lol

Sheece - I've totally been there! Very frustrating but just know it will all even out here soon. All wonky cycles must come to an end. Keeping you in my thoughts and hope you can get your cycles regulated.

FX for you, Abe! Keep testing!!

How are you, Emma?! Any new symptoms to report?

Hope, how are you and little sticky bean?! How did the blood work turn out after the scan?

Welcome, Jezika!!

 

[Hope16]

wifey....I was in the same boat. All my preliminary tests came out fine and we couldn't find out why I was having so much trouble conceiving. All it comes down to is perfect timing. I think the clomid will give you a better chance but I definitely think you should ask for a trigger shot so you can pinpoint ovulation. Definitely ask your doctor about ovidrel or pregnyl.

AFM my blood work was okay. My hcg was over 34k but my progesterone went from 22.5 to 14. So they doubled my dose. I feel so sick!! It's brutal. But I'm trying to stay humble because I want a baby more than anything. I go back Wednesday for my 7 week scan and more bloodwork. I pray that baby is still growing and the heartbeat is there again. And I also hope that my progesterone improves a bit. Kinda scary to think your progesterone levels could fall when you are already on a progesterone supplement.

 

[abennion]

Well, 13DPO and no AF (fingers crossed!) Cervix is high, soft and closed, temps still well above cover line, and getting creamy cm after 2 days of dryness. Last test on Wednesday, provided AF doesn't show, as I need to know one way or another before my colposcopy appointment. I'll take an FRER that way there's no doubt in my mind.

Really really hoping this is it...

 

[Hope16]

Glad to know you are still here! Like the new username

 

[wifeybby]

Dreamer! Love the new username too. glad you're doing well!

Abe, I hope this is it too! FX FX FX!

Hope, thank you for your input! I will read up on ovidrel and pregnyl and see what RE is thinking. I had negative OPKS all throughout what FF determined ovulation, so idk if I'm just doing something wrong or what. Anything to help pinpoint ovulation would be awesome! I felt the O pains and CM indicated O but I got bent on the opks and with the more recent bleeding I was having figured O didn't pop up that quick on me. Makes the laparoscopy much less nerve wracking though, was worried if I did conceive and wouldn't of picked up on a HPT then had it done. AFY, Have you told anyone besides DH (and bnb lol) about the pregnancy? How do you plan on announcing when the time is right?!

 

[Hopingsomeday]

Ladies I have a question ! So normally I seem to get a positive opk on cd 18 and I think I O on 20 . Today I am cd 20 and have bd last night . However I just took a test and got a raging positive . Should I wait until tomorrow up bd hoping I don't miss O or should we tonight but it will only be one day ..... Obviously I don't know when I actually O but I assumed it was 2 days later based on O pain. However I have only gotten BFN so what's the best bet here . Ugh

 

[Sheece]

Well girls, I think this cycle is finally coming to an end ... Ive just started bleeding may be spotting not sure yet but I never spot other than with my period. My temp went up a bit today too :/

I guess ill have to chalk this cycle up to an anovulatory one and hope its out of my system and my next cycle is normal! Never not ovulated (that I know about) before. Mixed feelings! Bummed that im probably out, but glad to get this cycle behind me!

Thanks to all of you for letting me vent, I would have gone batty if I couldnt !
