[CLOSED GROUP] TTC to 1st diaper - Welcome Freya! Congrats to fezzle!

[ClandestineTX]

Trying not to at "I think I massaged my bladder, truth be told."

No grand plans here. Finally got started on this cycle's marathon this morning. Bought some "Tussin" as I'm considering trying it out for both DH and myself this time around. Still have a few days to decide and determine the appropriate doses.

 

[Snackimals]

Such a fan of the Tussin!
I kinda think I f'd up last cycle because I only used it one of the times we BD'd. I dunno why. I was so stuck on the softcups I guess. The timing was so perfect, now I can only wonder about 'the ifs' had we used the cough syrup.

This time, Tussin 100% !!! I still have to review the game plan with HIM, but since his Bday is Thursday, I do not think sexxy-time is gunna be any issue this Ovulation...

 

[ClandestineTX]

I'm not sure I "need" the Tussin, as my CM seems to be abundant, as they say. My DH's SF is definitely on the thick side, though I know there's no quantity issue. He's donated stuff for laboratory samples, so I've literally seen it under a microscope, but have also noticed it's thicker than other samples that get donated to my lab... love science, right? So I'm trying Tussin to support him trying the Tussin.

I'm at the point of a cycle where I start getting excited about it - FX this time works!

 

[LillyTame]

Interesting...I want to see my OH's swimmers lol. I've thought about buying a cheapo microscope from wal-mart or something to see if I could see them. I told OH and he said "uh, no" lol. I wanna see!

Wednesday is OH's b-day, I'll be testing...it'll only be dpo 8, but I feel really good about this cycle, FX'd! I can't believe I'm not already dying to test lol. I guess I'm hoping to see IB or a implantation dip, then I'll be more confident about testing. (I know not everyone get's either one of those)

Tx...did you get IB? I don't remember. (ok, going to stalk your chart for a noticeable dip)

 

[ClandestineTX]

@LillyTame - if you get an el cheapo microscope, make sure it gets at least 200x magnification to get a good visual. FYI on microscopes the part you look through has a magnification setting (usually 10x) and then the part closest to the specimen (yes, I said it) you would want to be at least 20x (10x times 20x = 200x). They look like balloons on strings with hats on one angle, but on their sides they actually look like dolphin head balloons on strings... LOL... bet I can find one online...

Cool, thanks Clandestine for the bio 101 refresher! I swear they go over that in every science class and I never think about it till they do!

 

[txbiscuit]

I got a temperature dip at 9dpo. I had pretty bad allergies at the time, though, so I may have been sleeping with my mouth open. I had a temp jump and a faaaint BFP at 10dpo. No implantation bleeding. I spot every month before AF, so the lack of spotting was my first sign that something was possibly different.

P.S. I got a BFP on a dollar store test and a digital days before I got one on a FRER. I'm convinced those tests (FRER) don't work for everyone.

Yea I remember! I remember us thinking it was possibly an evap line on that stupid blue test! lol But it wasn't!

 

[txbiscuit]

Yes, that's right! Even the blue dye test gave me a BFP before FRER. (I shouldn't *still* be so grumpy, but in my neck of the woods, FRERs cost almost as much as digitals! Dollar store tests for the win!)

 

[Twag]

Exciting we have a tester soon & FXd

SEXY to you ladies nearing O

So the will be here tomorrow (my cycle is looking like clockwork this cycle ) and Cycle 9 and DH is fully on board my plans for this cycle - going to try BD every day of fertile week until O confirmed, might try some pre-seed but we will see - we are both still on the pre-natals have been for months now so hoping that are doing something

I am excited for this cycle for all of us ladies hopefully this will be the one and we can all be bump buddies

 

[Snackimals]

Im ready to roll with this week!
I could def take some time for grooming, and I will be tanning today, so Sexxyness will be in full affect by tomorrow evening. (Gym time everyday too!)
I however just cant find it in me to commit to BDing everyday this week. We start tomorrow at CD10... we'll do everyday from CD10-CD14 (Sunday), unless my OPK's say otherwise.

For Lilly!!!! I'm thinking about you mucho mucho this week!!!!!!! (not during sexxyness of course)

everyone else: lets get SEXXY!

 

[ClandestineTX]

This is going to sound awful, but I'm just not feeling it this cycle at all. I don't know if it's a carryover of my disappointment that our kid will likely be the first in three generations born in an even-numbered year or if it's that we've passed the six month mark and I've just lost enthusiasm entirely - no clue. DH and I have started "Tussin" 3x/ day from now until my temp rise and we plan to DTD, but I still just don't care about it right now. I think I'm still recovering from the beginning of this year - the two months with DH's dad in the hospital, before he passed away, getting though my first presentation at an international conference, a massive work project, etc. All since the first of the year (and I really didn't even mention my bat-shit-crazy MIL)... it's kind've my after-too-much-work-lull, still trying to figure out WTF we were doing before the first week of Jan. Honestly more excited about taking our puppy dog out for his first visit with a Schutzhund club tonight, if our weather permits (and they don't cancel it)... but sexy, not feeling it at all.

 

[LillyTame]

For Lilly!!!! I'm thinking about you mucho mucho this week!!!!!!! (not during sexxyness of course)

Go team SeXXy!

Clandestine...I think I felt similiar to how you are feeling this month...but right when I got close to OV I just couldn't NOT be in it for this month. I'm hoping next cycle (if there is a next cycle) I will be more motivated.

 

[ClandestineTX]

I know I'll get in the game before it counts, just do not handle failure well and still just blah over the previous six months with nothing to show for it!

 

[Twag]

Snackimals - when I say everyday I mean I am going to aim for about cd9/10 onwards until O confirmed

Clandestine - as you know I had majoy meltdown totally fed up with the world once I ticked past cycle 6 I think it is normal to feel that way
Now re your 2013 baby if you caught this cycle you could still end up with a 2013 baby as could come early just a little hint of hope for you

I've thought about that, but I have longer-ish cycles (avg 32 days) with ovulation in the late teens/early 20s. My estimated due date off my previous ovulation was Dec 22. I know it's technically possible (and a psychic years ago told me I'd have a son first "sooner than expected"), but I'd prefer to have them incubate as long as necessary - even a week overdue would be preferable to coming along too soon. FX for both of us this cycle, no matter what!

 

[Twag]

I am sending shit loads of baby dust out there that all of us ladies get our BFP's these cycles .......in fact sent so much it made me sneeze

 

[lamago]

Ladies,

Sorry I've been Mia for a while, I've been swamped at work and usually don't get time to login until late at night but since we've been trying to be sexy I haven't been able to.

Clandestine, I feel just the same I'm so depressed about all the thinking and talking about it an I'm on cycle 6. What the hell! I took soy this cycle and had hsg but I just don't trust my doc anymore.

Also we started bd this month on day 10 through fertility monitor low on day 15, I was exhausted but my temps didn't go up until. I couldn't temp on day 16 or 17 and by the 18th it was up. So I don't know when I ovulated but we were so popped from bd (my thighs are sore!). That we didn't manage to bd after day 15 , so I feel nano hopeless for this cycle. Again!

I guess at least I'm ovulating and obgyn gave me clomid for next month but I'm changing doctors.

Sorry for the rant, Im going to try to be more positive tomorrow.

 

[Twag]

Lamago well done on the BD marathon

Looking at your chart I reckon your covered wise

 

[txbiscuit]

Lamago, are you still going to be able to take the Clomid? Is your doctor sure that you're ovulating every month? I ask because about a year ago, I was having several anovulatory cycles, and my doctor said as long as I was charting, I wouldn't have to wait as long for fertility tests.
