[CLOSED]***Lucky LTTTC Testers***

[Fezzle]

I saw so many BFNs when I had that long cycle when I thought I had ovulated that it put me off testing early!

 

[Pirate]

Yeah, I'm firmly convinced that it will take a couple....or 17 BFPs to convince me that it is actually real and I probably won't fully believe it until I see a blob of cells with a heartbeat on an ultrasound monitor. 10 TTC cycles, 5 NTBP (not trying, barely preventing), and a few scares over the years and I've never even seen so much as an evap.

 

[Jett55]

11 or 12ish ttc cycles 8 ntnp cycles & a few scares & never ever seen a bfp or anything close to it just af. It's funny they tell ya not to try & relax if that we're the case I would have like 5 babies & another on the way.

Like when people say that you find your significant other when you stop looking. It's amazing how many people I know have mentally revised their own dating story to make it sound like their OH just fell into their lap in an unpredictable way.

Can't wait for some testing to come up. I get so anxious. My SIL is currently trying and she was late on Thanksgiving so she tested with one of my left over tests (it was so hard for me not to use ALL of mine! LOL. Dunno why I kept one). I was on pins and needles while she was in the bathroom.

Don't leave us hanging, lovelymiss! Did she get a BFP?


I think it's crazy how some women get evap after evap that are pretty convincing and the closest I've gotten was one really thin blue line that was obviously an evap

I've been officially TTC since last Jan, this is cycle 11 though since my cycles are on the longer side. NTNP 2 months before that.

Oh....and I tried for about 4 months with an ex a few years ago and nada! And he had great sperm....two kids plus he said he had an ex that had a couple abortions!

 

[Renaendel]

I have to test early. If I don't I obsess throughout the day about it. With a morning bfn I can let go of it and move on with my day. I just accept that that is how it will be. That is the best way for me to do it even with my losses and numerous failed months.

Riiiight... my dh & I were best friends for like 2 years & us ending up together was a tad bit unexpected & I wasn't on the omfg I gotta find a husband train but still wasn't the he fell into my lap "fairytale" either.

I've never ever seen an evap even after checking it hours later. I usually don't even wait the time limit on hpts either if it's not positive right away I throw it the trash.

 

[LillyTame]

I don't usually keep mine long, but I have gone back to a few hours later and still never saw a convincing evap. Some times I stare so hard for the longest time, looking at all angles, in all lights in the house, even outside once or twice

Yikes - I'm way behind on this thread. Congrats Tori! Fx for everyone this cycle! I'm in the TWW right now too. I started Fertilaid and OvaBoost this month and ovulated 5 days earlier than my normal day! I'm super thankful that at the very least it means that I won't start AF on Xmas eve or Xmas day - which is what I was looking at before! And at the very most I'll have a little Xmas miracle... but I'm not putting too much hope in that since DH's sperm morph is low and I can't imagine that just a few weeks of Fertilaid for him would help with that enough to get us preggers this round!

 

[LillyTame]

Hey MItoDC :wave: good luck this cycle Yea, they say it takes 60-70 days for the new sperm to cycle in....so 60 days at least days from when he started. I tried to get my OH to take it...he lasted a few weeks but didn't take it all I get tired of being a babysitter and asking him everyday if he took it But his count and motility was better at the next check

What day are you testing?

 

[MItoDC]

Thanks LillyTame! If I don't start AF on the 18th I'll probably test on the 19th if my temperature is high. If it's dropping I'll probably wait a few more days. I've had too many BFNs to put myself through another one, so I'll try to hold out as long as possible... but for now you can put me down for the 18th.

 

[LillyTame]

18th!

 

[Fezzle]

Testing buddy!!!

 

[Fezzle]

Also- I might have to check out this OvuBoost! Though I have a shitload of supplements already that I'm not taking in case any of them have been messing with my cycle!

 

[MItoDC]

Yay! Yeah - truthfully I kind of only started taking it so that DH would take his supplements. And I'm not exactly sure if it making me ovulate 5 days is a good or a bad thing! haha! But instead of ovulating on Day 19 or 20 I ovulated on Day 15, which is much closer to the average I suppose. I also had REALLY sore bbs and I could feel my ovaries this cycle - they were really sore too. Again - not sure if any of that is actually good - but since we haven't gotten a BFP in 16 months of TTC, I figured any change could be good!

 

[Kuawen]

I'm very happy to report that all signs pointed to me being very VERY fertile yesterday and O was confirmed for CD20 Ironically enough my projected testing date according to FF is Christmas Eve, but we'll see if I can manage to wait that long would anyone blame me for peeking at my presents this year?!

Hmm DH and I did a round of Fertilaid recently, but couldn't keep it up because of cost ($54 for a months supply is just too steep for us...) but I'm taking the Vitamin Shoppe brand prenatals. If we don't catch it this cycle I might look into OvuBoost, because my O has been getting progressively later and later in my cycle.

 

[lovelymiss]

Don't leave us hanging, lovelymiss! Did she get a BFP?

No. I believe AF came. She's been NTNP for a couple months, so she's not too let down yet. Her first pregnancy came pretty easy. My brother is still not 150% on board, so I dunno how it's working over there! LOL.

I've seen some very convincing evaps!! Ugh. Such let downs. Seems like next week is the big testing week!?

 

[Jett55]

Question.... what is ovuboost?

 

[Jett55]

This is totally me

 

[LillyTame]

Yea, looks like 7 testers, so far, between the 15th and 21st! That should be a busy week for us....crap...I'll be home that week, I don't check in as much when I'm at home lol.

FXd we light that week up with BFPs, like a christmas tree!
