WOW, congrats Mummylou!

Time will tell mummylou. Your job right now isn't to have all the answers. All you need to concern yourself with is enjoying every moment.

AFM: 3DPO and all is well. Lol! We got our crosshairs this morning and now get to kick back relax and try to enjoy what is out of our hands. We have decided to take next month off if we don't get our bfp. I know we just got back in the ttc groove but due to some scheduling issues with our donor next month we just won't be able to ensure that donations would be available. Hopefully it is a non issue as I plan on DW being good and pregnant before it is an issue. Lol!

Encourage me please,

I got a positive opk this afternoon. I'm flying to SF in the morning for an early afternoon insemination. I'm getting paranoid that I will miss the fertile window... I had EWCM this evening but now my ovulation cramping which had been building for the last couple of days is subsiding... Will I still have a chance?

I usually aim to inseminate the day of LH surge, but it just isn't possible with the distance.

Thanks...

Well we know we're told we ovulate 12 - 36 hours (sometimes 48 hours) after the first positive OPK so for an afternoon insem the next day, I'd say you were definitely still in with a shout. The ovulation cramping subsiding, well yes that could mean that the egg's been released but I bet that egg's just going to be waiting around in the Fallopian tube for just one spermie to catch it Lots and lots of luck and baby dust and big

(Ps, I've said it before but, I know someone who had 1 donation O+1 and has a little boy now )

WSS!

Cheryl! Not long now. How are you, doll?

 

[c.30]

Not long at all

I'm good thank you, not getting a lot of sleep at night due to being a bit uncomfortable but I reckon that's getting me prepared for the night time feeds I've got everything I need, my hospital bags are packed and my birthing partners, my mum and sister, are on stand by so now we just wait for this little girl to make her appearance

Like Oxygen, I'm desperate for you and your DW to get your BFP, I pray that it's your month

 

[LeahMSta]

Hey everyone... want to share a good laugh? Today I had to take DW to the urgent care center because she has a swollen gland. (Looks like a golfball on the side of her neck...not the funny part) The Dr tells her to take a pregnancy test. She replies that she is only 3DPO and he says ( this is 100% true) "our tests are so sensitive that they can practically be positive the day of conception" I thought to myself I don't know if I should try mentioning my general knowledge of the endocrine system or if I should grab the missus and run. I will say the story had a general happy ending. DW got some baby-friendly Antibiotics and we went merrily on our way with out heated exchange. I do feel best knowing there is a specialist to see on Monday because that man was clearly a quack. Lol!!!

you are too sweet! Thank you so much. I'll be here sending you all of the strength and peace possible for you to meet your precious little one in tranquility.

Glad to see our moms to be are well. Congrats on the scan mommylou! Cheryl- I absolutely cannot wait to see arrival pics of your girl! You must be beside yourself with excitement.
Leah- my fingers are crossed and a pray this cycle begins your family!

I go for u/s today-1030a, then trigger if everything looks good. I am concerned that I will emulate today as I had a temp dive. Dr usually instructs to inseminate day after trigger because it is supposed to make you ovulate 36-40 hours later. have not got my smiley yet- trigger makes positive opks, so they won't really be accurate afterwards.

DH wants to consider another donor after this cycle, which will mean a few months off for testing donor.
I really hope this is the cycle! I try very hard to be positive but the disappointments have really been eating me up.

 

[jury3]

Leah-That is hilarious! He really thought you could know after 3 days? He could be like many doctors that assume we know nothing of our cycles and assumed you could be wrong. Either way, what an idiot lol

Nimyra-I think you timing still sounds very possible! Just like c.30 said...

firechild-I really hope you get your bfp this cycle! Don't give up hope, I know it's hard, but you will have your baby no matter what

 

[Mummylou23]

well spoke to lady who did my scan and shes not saying she thinks there only 1 im like wtf??? I think I should get another private scan with some one else.

 

[laurac1988]

Hun another sonographer would see the same thing. Just give it a couple of weeks - too many scans at this stage are (in my opinion obviously) a waste of money as you really can't see anything. Save all the scans for when you can see something - even a heartbeat. That way you will be sure whether it is one, two, three, seventeen... However many.
No point spending money on multiple scans at 5/6 weeks when the likelihood of seeing anything is low. ,no one will be able to give you a definitive answer this early on as to how many there are, but once there is a heartbeat... They can tell you for sure

Just chill and enjoy the pregnancy

 

[jury3]

I agree with Laura, there is a reason they don't normally do scans this early...it's too early to be sure. You are definitely pregnant and there is definitely at least one nice, healthy sac. Enjoy it, relax.

 

[Nimyra]

Thanks for the encouragement. I've been a ball of anxiety today, not so great for ttc I know. I'm in SF now and got a donation around 3pm so roughly 24 hrs post smiley. I think I ovulated early this morning based on cramping sensations. Opk turned negative by noon or so today.

I'm getting one more donation tomorrow morning for good measure, then calling it a cycle.

I think next month I'll just do shipping. What kits are people using these days and what shipping service?? I'm new to shipping.

Thanks!
Emily

 

[firechild30]

Ladies- would you please have a look at my chart. Dr instructed to inseminate today...had 3 good follies and trigger yesterday. had a huge temp jump this am. I am concerned that inseminating today is too late.

 

[laurac1988]

May not be - if the eggy has just popped out you still have some time
