Cycle 1 day 1. Who's with me? *update* It's a girl! Congrats baby_bray!!!

[mailcmm]

Well I am still fertile? lol The frer fertility test shows my fsh is not elevated. I hope that's a good sign. 2 more days and I start my opks. I don't think I o'd last cycle. My opk was dark for almost 5 days maybe longer because I forgot them when I went away for thanksgiving. Is it too late to start charting? I really know nothing about charting. Might have to research it some.

Berdc... You are at the top of my thoughts. How are you doing? I am ready for Monday to be here for you.

Television... Post pics!!!

Moter & Twinkie.... Anything yet?

Colta.... My TTC buddy for this cycle. We are going to get our bfps this month!

Maillcmm - that's good that you are still fertile! i'm gonna order one of those fertility tests too, didn't know about them. I feel like it's taking way too long to get pregnant! It's not too late to start charting. Some people don't start charting until af is gone. I started when af was around for 3 days cause I ordered a bbt thermomter but was just waiting for it to arrive. It didn't affect my chart with the later start.

As for me, I tested this morning, BFN. I was really, really hoping this was it. I feel like I am out this cylce. Still Retaining water hardcore which always happens before af. AF is 4 days away so I won't completely give up hope yet, but feel like if this was it i would have had a bfp by now. This is the day I had one with DS.

Only 8dpo... I might test tomorrow AM, feeling unsure about it though. It is not too late to start charting! You just need to get several pre O temps in so the program has enough to calculate O. I think I am addicted to charting LOL.

You should definitely try charting... I find it actually helps me relax, because then I know when I ovulate and I know I did ovulate for sure. And it's definitely not too late to start charting.

AFM -AF FINALLY showed up for real today... so I'm officially cd1. I'm hoping and praying that this will be my month. I'm not sure what happened last month, maybe I got my O day wrong or something.

Either way... at least I know where I'm at and I hope for the both of us that we get Christmas/New Year's BFPs!!

 

[moter98]

Hey this is really cool! I opened my FRER 3pack today and there was a fertility test in it! Now I don't even have to buy one. It's so funny how that turned my day around, lol.
On an unrelated note, my 17 month old learned a new word today. He held his toy phone up to his ear and said Hi. Then he closed the phone and said bye. This is a really big deal for us because he has been at the far end as far as milestones go. Still in the norm I guess, but getting closer to that cut off point. He can say 7 words now if you count Ruff Ruff, haha! I'm so darn proud of him today.

Hi ladies,
I have followed your thread all month, but I am just now joining. I had just suffered my 2nd MC at the beginning of November, so I was still on that 'lurking, but not wanting to share/talk mode'.

I have just gotten my first period since the MC, so I am on cycle day 1. I was hoping to join your group to go thru this next month.

Congrats BERDC!!!
Fingers still crossed for you, Twinkie, moter n television
Cycle Buddies? Mailcmm n Colta?

 

[Twinkie210]

Here is how silly I was earlier... I decided I wanted to POAS so I did a cheapie OPK and it came up +, so of course I start thinking Hmmmm, so I did a digi OPK and it was -. So I said what the hell and did a FRER and it was BFN too Why did I decide to POAS today???? I am only 8dpo (maybe only 7!)

how frustrating! you are still early yet so keep your spirits up girl.

 

[menb]

Thanks for the welcome! I've seen how supportive you all are over this last month!

Twinkie: not silly at all! We've all done it.

This is our 2nd MC so I'm prepared for how heavy this flow is going to be. I'm just worried about trying again in 2 weeks or waiting another cycle. Urgh! Doc says to wait one more cycle and originally I would disagree, but we didn't wait two months ago either and perhaps that's why we lost another one. Our first loss was in September, then another in November. oh well, we have 2 weeks to decide.

Generally, if your loss was before 6 weeks you should be able to try again sooner than a later loss would. Dr's will recommend to wait one cycle so it's easier to pinpoint your due date and how far along your baby is. Also, some say your body needs time to build up your uterine lining again. In the case of an early loss, you should be able to start trying again as soon as you get your first period after loss. Please note: I'm not a Dr. just relaying what my Dr. told me. My Dr. gave me the ok to start trying as soon as af started. It took about 30 days from start of my chem to get af again. Mine was a case of my body holding onto tissue because it didn't realize there was nothing alive for awhile.

 

[menb]

Yeah, my doc suggested to wait cuz of the lining re-build. My head says to wait one one cycle, but my heart says to go for it in 2weeks. I just don't wanna suffer another MC. Doc is gonna do some pelvic, and uterine US just to make sure all is well.

I know it's really hard to wait, but if that's what the Dr. said, you should listen. It is important that your body builds up enough uterine lining again so you can sustain your next pregnancy. That way, you know you have done everything you could and the rest is up to mother nature.

 

[mailcmm]

Memb.... welcome. I am do sorry about your losses. You are definitely welcome here and glad you decided to post. This is afabulous group of ladies. This last month, even though I didn't get my bfp, was totally great and just flew by. Hoping for a xmas bfp. I will try to cqtch up on more of your story when I am at my pc. Mobile posting is awful.

Twinkie... hang in there. Its still early.

Moter...too funny on the test. I was more nervous taking that then an hpt.

Colta....sorry the witch got you. Here's to xmas bfps.

 

[mailcmm]

I almost forgot....

Berdc.....today I was on the hwy where Sophia went missing between Atlanta and fort benning. We kept trying to locate where they filmed but couldn't tell

 

[mailcmm]

Finally home. Drove to Roopville GA today and bought 2 pigs for my farm. Just finished settling them in. I was not prepared for how awful they smell. lol I am going to get a basal thermometer tomorrow. We'll give this a shot. lol

Menb... I would wait until after the tests at least. Wish my dr did tests. But he was a total quack. I still haven't been able to get them to tell me the results of my pathology from my d&c. He told us to wait 3 months before we started again. When I asked why so long he said that's how long it would take for my cycle to come back, and that I couldn't get pregnant until after my cycle came back. So when I got my cycle 6wks later we started trying. I am going to add your name to our 1st page info.

Cycle Buddies? Mailcmm n Colta?

Glad that you joined us! This has been the best group of girls ever to past time with. I am soryy for your losses. It is a horrible thing for a woman to experience.

Thanks for the congrats! It is a very exciting yet scary time for me.

 

[BERDC99]

Colta- I am glad AF finally showed for you so you can move on to the next cycle. Fx crossed the December is your month.

Television- post a picture. How many dpo are you? Are you going to test again in the morning?

Moter- It may just be to early yet. Test again in a day or so.

Twinkie- If you get a BFN test again you are still early.

Menb- Welcome again. :wave: I would wait if you can hold out until you lining rebuilds. If you can wait I totally understand and will not judge you.

Mailcmm- That would have been so cool if you could have pin pointed the exact spot. I can not wait until it comes back on in February. Maybe since you are going to start charting you can confirm that you O and time it right for a Christmas BFP. So are you guys going to eat the pigs or are you just keeping them as pets on the farm? Oink Oink

As for me……I am very tired. Today was my Saturday that I worked doing hair. I have no clue how I did that every day for years. I worked 10 hours today and I am beat. I took my last FRER this morning. And it was a dark . I will post the picture later when I go up stairs. I am thinking I am going to call the doctors office Monday and talk to the nurse. She is super nice, and I am sure she will give me an order for my HCG test if I ask. I already have an appt with my OB doctor for a pap on the 12th. Guessing it will be more than a pap. I hope they send me for an u/s soon. I just want to see that my bean is sticking and growing.

 

[BERDC99]

From this morning @ 4:30

 

[mailcmm]

Berdc.... Loving the photos. I am so happy for you. Hope it's a super sticky bean. Yeah I just want to rewatch the season right now to see if It was really along that road. I am going to try my hardest for that xmas bean. That's all I want for christmas. I would be 10dpo on christmas day. Wouldn't that be something. lol We'll see.
