[Closed] Per Ardua Ad Astra

[Tui]

I'm too scared to use ics after last month. Got a frer left though. Still waiting to O yet, I think.

 

[cutieq]

I don't remember buying them but apparently have 30 ics. My goal is always wait for AF or at least 10dpo but never make it that far. I hate seeing bfn but In a weird way it helps me to know early on that AF is coming.

Ahh men! My hubby knows everything about ttc and generally he's so great but sometimes when I get a positive opk and I figure that's enough to make him stand on ceremony lol but I almost have to convince him to do it. But usually by that time we've been doing it so much he feels like a workhorse. It's a fine balance especially when the novelty has worn off.

Still spotted a bit yesterday so stopped wasting opk's for now. My cervix seems a but higher today so just sit and wait. Once my cm changes to more watery I'll start back on the opk's. Ttc is such a waiting game!

Took a frer this am- stark white

 

[Lynny77]

Ahh I'm sorry bug! You're still early though aren't you? Maybe it's a late implanter!

9 dpo- usually (well before my last mc) I always had a 10/11 day LP- sunce it has been all over the place. Temp dropped today though.

still early Bug! I had a bit of a spazz this morning, we had a great date night that ended in no BD. I O'd yesterday so I really wanted to, but didn't want to force it. I feel pretty out this month to be honest because we didn't BD the day before or of O, but we BD'd 2,4, & 5 days before O and if the egg is viable for 24 hours after O, we've got one more shot today, so who knows. I'm feeling doubtful, but I guess there's still a chance.

Lynny, I hope you get back to normal soon. I'm so sick of waiting too, so I feel your frustration.

Bug, you are still early, even with a short lp. Fingers crossed for you.

Cutieq, don't loose hope. I read stories all the time about couples having sex 3 or 4 days before O and still getting a bfp. Get one in today if you can, as you never know exactly when you O.

I know how you feel about not wanting to pressure them into it. This month I felt like dh was a bit sick of the marathon so we haven't done it as much. No twice in one day sessions this month! I got a fairly positive opk last night and a temp drop this morning, so I think I will O today. We bd this morning and dh said "thats it, thats the one" hope he's right. I had a soft cup left from a few months ago so I put some preseed in it and popped it in. Can't hurt right?

 

[Bug222]

thanks ladies- im really struggling to stay positive lately.

Thanks Tui. He started taking some anxiety meds this week. Didn't tell me until last night but he said it's affecting his sex drive, so I really don't want to push, but tonight we must! I got my dip Friday and a spike this morning, so I'm pretty certain O was yesterday but we never really know. We are normally every dayers and multiple times a day so this is new to me.

I hope your hubs is right. That would be awesome! We're cycle buddies.. HOORAY!

thanks ladies- im really struggling to stay positive lately.

that's the gift and the curse of testing early. hang in there. we've got your back!

 

[Tui]

I've just put this on the poas thread but I am so pleased by the dark lines that I thought I would stick it here too, lol.

 

[Tui]

Just this mornings opk before anyone freaks out

 

[Bug222]

Nice and dark!!!

 

[cutieq]

Nice tui!!! Seems like a bunch of us are in sync. Let the BFPs roll in!

We DTD I'm so happy. I've read conflicting things about sex 1DPO not mattering, but I don't care. I could have a slow moving egg or some fast sperm that needed one more.

 

[Tui]

Well done cutieq.

 

[Nikki1979]

Good job cutie - go go.

Tui - I hope you catch that egg this cycle.

Bug - I am so sorry about BFN I am also 9dpo today and BFN

I was so hopeful this cycle because of the sore nipples and sore breasts as I don't usually have that in the tww. The negative test today saddens me a lot. Yesterday was the 2 year anniversary of my dads death. He wasn't sick...just died suddenly at the age of 56 and that together with BFN is getting to me. I am feeling really down.

 

[Tui]

Sorry you feel sad nikki. It's still early for you though too. Go out today and do something your dad would have liked xx

 

[Bug222]

im so sorry for your loss Nikki xxx

 

[Tui]

I was just thinking about whether dtd twice in one day was worth it so I had a Google about sperm. According to national geographic, men produce 1500 sperm a second! Put my mind at rest, lol. Guess it was worth doing it again today.

Good luck cycle buddies, let the poas countdown begin.
