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

11 weeks today! And, yes, I'm absolutely convinced it's a girl, so it's probably a boy =)

We got way more than a take home pic - I filmed it all on my cell phone! Here's me sounding like a complete spaz:

I wanted to film it so that my mom could see the heartbeat, but then s/he started moving around, so it was perfect.

Neat!

omg that's so cool to see! Thank you so much for sharing, Molly. Brought tears to my eyes, I can't wait till I get to have a similar experience (hopefully I'll get a little wiggle worm like yours! It's so fun to watch them dance around).

I got my CH's today! confirming that I O'd on CD14. I actually think I O'd at exactly 11:36AM on CD15, because I caught the tail end of my LH surge on OPK the morning of CD15, then had one GNARLY cramp on the right side, and then nothing. How funny if I was right Everything seems to be working as it's supposed to, and I'm wishing my days away until Testing Day!

Amazing! I can't wait to find out if you're right, Molly!

@Mollygrue So cool and exciting!

I just got my blood test results. At 4 weeks 2 days (14 dpo) I had HcG of 185. First scan and OB appointment is Mar 4th. Can't believe how quickly it's coming up!

The week of OPKs. I have a CBFM, what do you guys use, or have used in the past?

 

[Nicki123]

Great news about your scan Molly.

I have used the cheap ics, the CB digi & the CBFM. This month I'm out out CBFM sticks but still have a bunch of digi sticks so I'm either going to use them or the ics. I'm having my blood tested this cycle to see if I ovulated so it will be good to compare the results with what the OPKs say since I never get a positive.

I had a lot of good luck with using the Rite aid brand (mid stream, not dipstick) opks. Also, BBT charting and CM charting told me a lot when I used it with the OPKs. I could never follow the directions properly for the CBFM because it's not a one off deal, it collects the data before your fertile and compares your own hormone levels to that over the month.

I obviously didn't read the directions the first time and then screwed it all up. (But I was just testing it out at the same time as using opks. I ended up with like a million fertile days according to that thing. I liked to see the surge come and then fade with regular opks, and then monitor closely to make sure that I didn't have a second surge during the month. Once you hit a peak day on the CBFM, the smile never goes away at all.

I've had great luck with Wondfos. I bought Clinical Guard OPKs this last time, and I don't recommend them at all. Just pay the extra $2.50 for the Wondfos.

Elsa - I read the same thing on multiple posts about the cbfm, so I'm reading the sticks as well as marking them and saving them to compare.

Pirate - we're not that far off on cycles. Hooray! I was feeling all alone out in left field.

I've got all lows so far, no feelings of O yet either.

Hey, Ladies!

I'm back after taking a ttc break (well, ntnp) for about 7 months, and I finally feel like I am ready to jump back in full force.

I am currently on cd8 of a (on average) 28 day cycle. Last month I had a random 24 day cycle, which kind of freaks me out...but such is life, I suppose.

Things I am doing differently this month is that I am adding Mucinex (from cd7 through O) to my daily routine of vitamin B-3 and prenatals. Excited to see if it makes a difference or not, we shall see!

Also, I am setting up an appointment to see my fertility specialist to get that ball rolling in that arena, but in the mean time we are going to do everything in our power to help the process naturally.

Since we are not getting any younger, we have decided that we need to commit to this process 100% this time...we are in it for the long haul, and ready to do whatever it takes!

Hey mrsnorcal! :wave: Welcome back! I hope you've come to the end of your journey and you get your BFP very soon!

 

[mrsnorcal]

Thanks, Lilly! Me too!

 

[Fezzle]

Welcome back, mrsnorcal! I think we might O around the same time this cycle. I'm on CD11 but I usually get signs of ovulating around CD16.

 

[mrsnorcal]

Thanks, Fezzle! That means we can symptom spot together!

 

[LillyTame]

Aloha, testers!

How is everyone doing this month so far?

 

[Pirate]

Waiting. Ugh. This sucks. Putting off calling the insurance company to make sure they'll cover the tests in the hope that cycle 13 is going to be lucky, but I'm sure I'll get up the nerve to call the closer AF gets.

 

[Renaendel]

Still waiting to O Lils. My cold and fever pushed it back a few days. I think I should see a positive in a day or two. I'll give you my testing date once ovulation is confirmed.

 

[Fezzle]

Still waiting to O or get a sign that I have here too but my testing date is still on track. I'll find out next week if I ovulated first though so if I didn't who knows.
