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

[Ameli]

Still so early! Don't lose hope!

 

[Snackimals]

I'm not sure if I want to hug you guys or send you away! Hhahahaha

It is really awesome to have your support. After my one-hour sessions with passive depression, I had a latte with extra foam, and I feel 100% better. Then I came on here, and everyone is so nice and supportive. I almost feel hopeful! After feeling so over it this morning

I guess all one can really do is let time pass. I still have cramping, a little less often and less intense than yesterday morning. I did, and do usually, cramp a bit days pre-AF. So, this is kinda normal in terms of AF week... but hey, maybe she wont come. I'll stay positive.

And, if she does, I'm still kinda happy: I got a GREAT deal on more Fertilaid and Clear Blue OPK's yesterday on Ebay. Can't wait to try them. I guess I kinda knew since yesterday that I will be entering cycle #5.


What's everyone elses update?
Lil? Hows Oregon BD Fest?
Texas? Still puke-ish?
Twag? Warming up for BD time?
Ameli? You're not testing yet?

 

[txbiscuit]

I am still pretty puke-ish. I am a huge nerd, though, so the idea that a Veronica Mars movie might get made has kept me happy today.

 

[LillyTame]

hiya ladies! just checking in...sightseeing with oh and his dad today, lots of waterfalls. we did manage to bd this morning...so that makes today and 2 days ago. ok gotta run, miss talkin to you ladies! Snackimals Im keeping my eye on you!

 

[Ameli]

No, not testing yet. Trying to hold off a couple more days. Tough to do! I have 2 frer in the house and I will try to be strong. I'm feeling PMS-y too, but I'm trying not to focus on it too much. Also, thanks everyone for the feedback on my irritability yesterday. Twag and LillyTame: have fun with the BDing, txbiscuit: sorry you're not feeling great! Snackimals: I'm still feeling positive for us yet!

 

[Ameli]

For some reason I posted the same thing twice.

 

[Twag]

snackimals I am PMA all the way and then lots of if needed

Cd10 today a tiny amount of EWCM yesterday should see more today hopefully not sure about this cycle yet if we will be ttc or not I have not brought the subject up with dh and considering I am out with work tonight dh is working Saturday which he normally do but he is uber busy at work budgets etc an then Saturday night out tbh not sure when we will fit it in - but I am at peace with this cycle I am by no means happy to miss one but what will be will be

 

[Snackimals]

Awesome to stay positive and normal about life Twag! I need to remember to chill out and let things roll more often with this stuff!
When do you usually Ovulate? Dont make me spend hours trying to decode your chart!

 

[Snackimals]

Good morning Señoritas!!

I'm gunna give it to Ameli for not testing yet! Takes dedication!

Hows the weather and location affecting BD Fest Lilly? You guys enjoying your 'time' at the hotel better than at home, or about the same? I dunno why, but it takes more for me to get 'in to it' when I'm not in my own bed... but I am really OCD, for reals, so thats probably it.

Texas! How's our little biscuit!? I am totally guessing GIRL for you. With all your major early symptoms... it must be a girl. Plus, I think that dream I had that I was pregnant with a girl: maybe it was you

I still need to stalk your data/stats Twag... I'll be keeping my eyes on YOU.

 

[Twag]

Snackimals - if it makes it easier I O 2 different dates it seems either cd12 or cd15 last cycle was a cd15 so I am expecting a cd12 O this cycle but who knows there isn't too much ewcm yet so I reckon some point this weekend
Avg cd14

How are you feeling on 11dpo?

Oh and don't get me wrong I have complete melt downs when AF shows etc but then I pick myself back up after a day or two and keep plodding on

 

[LillyTame]

morning ladies, quick check-in: I think tomorrow will be my dpo , we'll see what my temp does. we just haven't had enough bd...OHs issues, our tummy issues, and just bad timing. but we did have 2 sessions within the right timeframe, so i think i still have a chance.

well off to spend the day with mother inlaw, talk to you guys later.

 

[Twag]

Morning Ladies

Snackimals & Ameli any hoping the has not shown

Txbiscuit - hope the ms dies down for you

Lily - hope you enjoyed your day with he MIL? Maybe stupid question but is Oregon a different time zone etc as could be messing with temps

AFM - cd11 nothing exciting with temps not a huge amount of EWCM not looking hopeful for this cycle but we will see how it goes!!

 

[Snackimals]

Good morning!

Hows TTC-land this morning?

I have not tested again. And, I also have still not 'received' my visit from And, I am still considerably crampy, although still not bloated or boobie-aching. My expectations are still low regards this cycle, so I am still just taking the lack of negative symptoms as a good sign of my fertility supplements doing a good job.

I am SUPER busy this weekend, starting 8am tomorrow. If for some very abnormal reason, I do not get AF by Sunday, I promise to retest then. But seriously, that would be REALLY far out in left field for me. (Especially considering my cramps)

Ameli? updates?

You know Twag, maybe because this cycle seems so out of your control... it'll be a good one. Things happen at the strangest moments. in ways that really put things in perspective. I'm sending you all my positive vibes from this last cycle! Cheers!

 

[txbiscuit]

Morning Snack! I feel slightly less hungover and gross today. I'm hoping this lasts! I am curious to find out if this is a little boy or girl making me feel this way. I have a feeling it's a boy (although I am sort of hoping for a girl, but only because I think OH would want to stop at one kid if we have a boy first).

How is everyone doing?

Lilly - I hope you're enjoying the visit with the family. Any news?
Twag - Did you guys decide to try this cycle, or take a break? Any house news?
Ameli - any tests?
Snack - as always, my fingers are crossed. You're not out 'til you're out, you know?

 

[Twag]

Still keeping my PMA for your Snackimals but I have the in reserve if we need them

Thanks for the PMA I have told DH that this weekend is the prime time so it is down to him I am at peace with it either way

Lilly - great temp rise this morning

 

[Snackimals]

Can I just add that I am so freakn bitter that AF isn't here yet. It's so twisted how it plays with my emotions! 2 cycles ago, the CD 28 was like, FOR SURE! AF 100% Now I'm stuck in limbo, waiting around for anything....

Before last month, 29 days was my max length cycle, and it was long by a lot... because 27 was the most common, with 28 the 'drop dead' date. I need to see how this Fertilaid stuff is possibly NOT helping out this situation.

 

[txbiscuit]

I hope AF either shows her face or you get a BFP. Stupid AF. Vitex did weird things with my ovulation (which worked out in my case) but it might be worth trying a month with a different prenatal.

 

[lamago]

Hi Ladies,

I'm finally done catching up on everyone.

txbiscuit, you used Vitex? I just heard about that and started taking Feliteaid which I think it's included in there. But it sawys that it takes three months to work. I wonder if I can take it with evening primrose oil. I have not yet. I also cant belive you have to take three of them! it's hard.

Snakimals, when did you start taking the Fertliaid? I decided to take it since my doctor resfuses to give me clomid. I have to wait to see what happens this cycle.

Twag, my husbadn hasn't said he want to take a break but he started saying things he didnt say before, like sports analogies. "I have to make the shot to win the game" lol, like he is getting stressed about it. I guess they go through that too!

AFM, I went in to see OBGYN to but she said that she did not think i needed clomid. She said 7 and 9.4 meant I was ovulating and that she'd like to do an HSG instead. Thanks for all your advice about not following forums, it did take me some time to come off the ledge on that one. I agreed to take the HSG but i'm really worried about it. One of the side-effects is infertility---come on!

I read online that VITEX can increase progresterone which is my problem (I think ) so I started that. I also called the doc back to ask for progesterone and had a long chat with the nurse. She said the other doctor in the office would propably give me clomid already but that i'm fine with over 7, but it is low to keep a preganacy. She suggested I do the HSG and if my progesterone is around 7 again to ask for the progresterone or clomid.

It's upsetting ebcause if I had only been referred to the other gyn I'd already be using clomid. uggghhh so many decisions.

Twag- I am using the clear blue fertility monitor. I got a + on the digital ones and a peak on the CBFM two months in a row on day 12 and day 13. This month i'm on day 10 but I don't have a peak yet. The last month I tested at night and I've only ever got a + at night. I'm trying to it in the am this month to see if it works too but i've yet to get a positive or a peak with using morning urine.

 

[Snackimals]

I'm on my second bottle of Fertilaid. But it feels like forever. Frankly, I've always had bad PMS and terrible cramps, but now I've had cramps from Ovulation to AF. I guess it's the progesterone. I have loads of it know, I guess. And, my DPO phase has gotten 2 days longer apparently, so the cramping seems eternal.

I guess I'm just wondering, if I didn't have progesterone issues to begin with, do I need to keep making myself go thru 2 weeks of cramps?

 

[lamago]

27 days is a normal cycle so I dont think it necessarily means you had low progesterone. Why did you start taking it? Do you temp?


I'm taking the GNC fertility blend. What does fertileaid say for Vitex? Mine says 1080 mg Chasteberry (Vitex agnus-castus) plus vitamin E, B6, B12, etc.
