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

[LillyTame]

yea Im just 11dpo but af usually starts 12dpo and I had a blood test done yesterday and it was neg. BUT I did take clomid this cycle, it can make your lp longer....so all things are still possible, if my bean decided to wait till 10dpo to implant!

Lilly I'm still keeping my fxxed for you. Your chart is looking fab

Okay, I just need to get this out of my system. I hate that I track CM because after BDing the night before I'm not about to go and waste my time checking. It's like, I want to keep BDing until the EWCM goes away, but DHs stuff is freaking exactly like EWCM the next morning (and throughout the day somehow). I've even read articles saying "well these are the ways to tell the difference, it doesn't stretch blahblah" that's all BS, because I've tested that theory in the middle of non-fertile patches when I've had creamy CM and it's all exactly the freaking same as my EWCM.

I even went so far to ask DH, embarrassingly, about the consistency because I was trying to tell the difference.

The only thing I HATE about TTC more than the stress, is the mess. Yuk! (I like the other parts). I never had to deal with the guy stuff when we used condoms.

I think it stretches sometimes too- I've checked it after a hand job when it was on my OH's stomach and it was stretchy! But then sometimes it isn't stretchy- so I agree, it's confusing!

 

[stuckinoki]

Oh yeah....sperms are super stretchy and EW in color as well....Makes it difficult to tell the difference...

And there is nothing worse than forgetting a panty liner the day after and having a huge glob of man-junk squee out of you at the gym or grocery store...and it's always the kind the completely saturates your underwear. Ew.

 

[LillyTame]

I told OH "after we make this baby you are going back to condoms, buddy!" Or pulling out or SOMETHING!

stuck, how is the not smoking going?

 

[MItoDC]

Still no AF for me - this is officially my longest LP since we started TTC. But I got a big temp drop this morning along with major cramps, so she'll probably show up today. I'm over the disappointment (as much as you ever can be) and now I'm just ready for her to show up so we can get started on Cycle 16.

 

[LillyTame]

Quite a few temp drops today

 

[MItoDC]

Quite a few temp drops today

I'm with you.

 

[Fezzle]

Mine dropped today too, finally under the coverline, but I'm not hopeful I'll be moving on to a new cycle soon.

Fx for your next cycles (or whenever convenient!).

 

[Renaendel]

Those temps need to go back up! If only. Stupid period harbinger.

First wipe of the morning after DTD the night before is always ewcm which is weird because he is more sticky outside of me. Maybe it's the conceive plus. Not looking forward to condoms again. They aren't very comfortable even with lube and way worse after. Hmm I wonder if they powder them with anything with wheat. That would explain a lot.

 

[Pirate]

Our post baby contraception plan is going to be the pull out method too! BCP did horrible things to me and condoms just aren't comfortable for me. I've always wondered if I have a very slight latex allergy because condoms have always left me feeling very raw. The only thing I enjoyed about condoms was the lack of mess!

 

[Fezzle]

I think we'll NTNP post-baby, and if we're lucky to have one baby, then another, I think our post-babies plan will be a vasectomy!

 

[lovelymiss]

Sorry to come back and read about all the temp drops.

Sending lots of warm thoughts and hopeful spirits. Holding out hope for you ladies.

Tested this morning and I know it's early yet... but it's looking like we're not going to get our Christmas miracle after all. I'm ordering more OPK's, Fertilaid, and Ovaboost today...

 

[stuckinoki]

8dpo is pretty much unheard of for BFP! 99% of the time the baby is just now looking for a place to implant in the uterus...dont' give up yet. You have like a week left for your BFP to show up.

 

[Kuawen]

Yea I was only testing just in case since I'm going to see my OBGYN today. His office staff are total b*tches and don't even want to believe that I could be fertile, since I had the Essure done and as far as they know, it can't be reversed. I had to explain to them several times what procedure I had done and that it does in fact mean I could get pregnant. Ugh I shudder to think what will happen if/when I DO get a BFP!

But since it was clearly BFN today, I don't plan on testing again until the morning of the 24th, so long as AF stays away.

LOL that is for sure the truth.

Do you have other options for a doc? it doesn't sound like your current place is that supportive.

 

[Kuawen]

Unfortunately I won't have any idea what my options are if any until the new year when our new insurance gets started. But the post op went great and it turns out my doctor's old nurse is gone and he's got a new one that, while she's very young, she's very supportive the overall attitude of the office was much better than it has been in the past. My OBGYN also said that he's behind me 200% in any help I might need in order to conceive.

Now I'm just counting down the days until Christmas Eve, hoping that there may still be a bean snuggling in. No pinching or pains or cramps or spotting, though.
