December Testers!

[PortlandGirl]

I am going to be testing in about 9 days. I did not track my temperatures this time around. I hate the wait

 

[lesondemavie]

Leson, my temp has been around cover line the whole time. Don't count yourself out yet. Can still implant at 11dpo

Thanks Trr. Wish I could still have hope, but mine have just been so high this whole time and my LP hasn't been more than 10 days since August. I'm going to say possible, but not probable/highly unlikely at this point. Assuming there's no BFP in my near future, I'm crossing my fingers hoping that temp dips below ch tomorrow and AF doesn't come until Sat and that's my new norm. Then I'd have a 12 day LP like I did my first cycle off. If that happens, I feel like I should mentally hit reset on how long we've been trying since it's just taking my body a while to get back on track after bcp.

I'm still holding out hope for you though cycle buddy! Your temps are close to ch but still in range of your norm for this LP. I totally understand that fear. I've had it since before we even started trying and I can only imagine that going through it just makes the fear stronger :/. One day at a time. Looking forward to you frer photo! FX to you.

Can I be added? I'll be testing Christmas Day and should be 13dpo. I am now on cd 9.

I have a question for those that temp, because I can't find a clear answer. I'm still taking my temps to make sure they stay up. This morning I woke up at 4am to pee (seems to be a nightly thing now) and temped, just in case. It was 98.17. I also had a stomach ache, so I ate a couple handfuls of granola. My alarm went off at the normal time of 6:30am and I temped again. Usually the two temps are the same, so I use it. But today the 6:30 temp was 98.48, which is high. Is it high because I ate something at 4am? I discarded it and made a note, I'll have to eat something before bed so I don't have to get up and eat again (hopefully).

 

[AshNAmber]

Can one of you lovely ladies please tell me if this looks positive.. because it does to me and now I think im going to lose my mind.. should I try and do another AI? I mean I'm thinking I'm done with this and in the TWW and I'm still getting positive OPKs

 

[AngelOb]

Ashnamber I would say positive

 

[rose.]

Yes so would I! Would definitely try to do another AI and then you're covered

 

[Unicornwoman]

I feel out - temp drop today and cm is drying up. AF is not due until Monday but I just don't feel pregnant.

That's exactly how I feel. Sigh. My AF is also due Monday.

AF due Monday here as well. And I feel the same exact way. Surely one of us is wrong?

Me too! Took a HPT this morning and BFN. Expecting AF Monday. Will test again Monday morning just to be sure.

 

[HopefulBee]

Okay so I'm pretty new to all of this and a little nervous. I'm 26 and haven't been pregnant before. I've had scares before but this time it feels REAL.

Also, I'm just really learning about the O process and specifically the difference in my body (CM). My partner and I are not TTC right now but we may have already done so.

Normal 28 Cycle and no health problems. We BD on 12/6 - 12/7. CM was transparent, I did the finger test, Cervix was higher and softer for sure. The BD just felt so different this time around. Well it just so happens that I realized I O'd the day after when there was a big difference in my CM. It was like night and day.
I use this Life app and didn't check it until 12/8. So I don't necessarily think I'm having major early symptoms but I did start to take note of it after looking over several of forums.
1 DPO: Gas really bad. Weird twinges in my lower abdominal.
2 DPO: Extreme hunger in the morning. Exhausted by 7pm.
3 DPO: Felt sick this morning but it subsided like a cold. Oh my boobs are killing me but this is a known AF symptom for me.

I talked to my doctor and she said, "Well B you did everything correctly, so we just have to wait and see."
I don't feel overly stressed. Just really need someone who can relate. My best friend can relate but she just had baby #4 so not a whole lot of time to talk. I would love to talk to my partner more about it but I just need a woman's perspective.

Just got back from my doctors appointment. He's ordered a series of tests for me. They gave me a urine test first today, and it was a BFN. On CD 3, I will go in to have a luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, and DHEA sulfate test taken. Then sometime on days 5 through 9 I will have to go in for an FL hystetosalpingography at the hospital. Then on day 21 I will go in for a progesterone test. My husband will need an SA. That sounds stressful. So at least we have a plan, but I'm super bummed that im still out this month. He said potentially I could check in for 5 more days if I don't get my period, but I'm not getting my hopes up.. 1 months from now we should have all the answers to move forward.

Aw Lauren, don't be intimidated.... The tests aren't as bad as they seem, and if you live close enough to the clinic, DH will be able to make his "deposit" at home and drive it in.... So he doesn't feel awkward trying to have private time in an office lol

Yeah, I think that's what he's going to do. It's not the tests I'm worried about, it's the fact that this I need them. I never thought in a million years I'd have any issues TTC, but, here we are. Yay.

Sorry Lauren I work in a lab and we get those test all the time they usually don't take to long to come back with the results.. I'm sorry about this month but I'm glad your going to find out whats going on..

Thanks Ash. I'm afraid of what wiill happen next and what those results might mean in terms of what crazy interventions and treatments I might need. I'm hoping all is normal, and we just need more time, but yes, answers are good I guess...

The last 2 days have been such a let down for me .. I was so excited to get to AI since I have such pretty +OPK's and EWCM.. I was upset I called off work and called my donors wife to let her know I was home all day and out of no where she calls and says it's ready.. Never thought I could drive so fast I didn't have time to check my CM or anything.. So I added 1cc of pre-seed in the syringe with the little guys and sent them on there way.. I added a softcup DW made me ummm "happy" and then I stayed laying down for about an hour. I got up ate some lunch and decided to go take an OPK and those are the ones I posted earlier most said it look positive I thought they did to. So I'm hoping I'm still in this and maybe O came today or tomorrow.. I'll know more in the morning when I check my temp because it did go up some today.. Anyone ever get a +OPK day after O? I get so confused with that stuff sometimes

A lot of people get a +OPK day of O, (most of the time I O on the day of my +OPK), I have seen some women say they get a + or close to + on the day after when using the ICs because it's a little harder to tell with those. Based on your temps it looks like O could have been yesterday, but it could be today. Depends on how the temps go and with the +OPK today I would think that O would probably be today. FX. Egg lasts about 24 hours after O so hopefully that works for you!

Wow. Sounds like a lot but at least you'll get answers. How long have you been TTC?

We've been TTC since January.

 

[AshNAmber]

Ok so 6 hours later I'm waiting for donor to call when ready with and now it's negative so do I register the + one on FF.. why is this so confusing.. I need to quit POS ugh

 

[Angel5000]

AshNAmber - that was + earlier, so I would register it as + because you got a +OPK. You probably caught the tail end of the surge. If that was a legit + then you have 12-48 hours before O, but probably on the shorter side because of all the other +OPKs you've been getting (no guarantee though). Your temps still confuse me but it'll take a few more days to nail down where O actually happen(ed). Good luck!!

I'll post the stick porn later. Focusing on holding for 4 hours is no fun.

Hardest. Thing. Ever!

 

[AshNAmber]

All this makes me want to bang my head into the wall I'll AI tonight with
pre-seed and soft cup so I guess if its anything as far as my temps go I'm ready to go to bed just to see what my temp will be

 

[mrs unicorn]

I'd put it down as positive. Hope you managed to get another one in. Temps and opks are sometimes so useful but sometimes I find they've been the opposite. I'm not doing either next cycle, but I understand it's more important for you to be as accurate as can be with timing. Really hope you got it this cycle. Xx

 

[mrs unicorn]

Welcome hopefulbee :wave:

 

[AshNAmber]

Didn't get to AI last night :sad: So whatever I got the other night hope it was enough.. I know can live up to 5days but mainly 3 so FX that was enough.. I left a softcup in 12 hours with them in there so who knows

I"m starting to wonder if I had 2 eggs pop out one on each side.. Last night I had the same O pains on my right side like I did on my left on Wed night.. It was a little worse honeslty.. Who knows.. Now I'm waiting to see if FF says I O'd on another day and I'm so hoping for that..

For me, I felt like yay I'm finally going to get somewhere, someone is going to help us. I knew I didn't ovulate, I never got my period. Sometimes it's as simple as a little clomid to solve the problem. For us, we've moved up into the bigger leagues.... And even though it is a giant pain in the butt, I still feel like doing something is better than not knowing what is happening. It all sucks either way. I wish god just gave us control over our reproductive organs and the minute we want to get pregnant, we do. Is that so much to ask for !?

 

[1nceUponATime]

Good morning my lovelies. I'll add anyone new later tonight when I get to the computer. I think I've decided to POAS at 14dpo on Sunday, 1 day prior to my blood test. The result should be accurate by then, with no trigger left in my system. I kind of just want to be put out of my misery this cycle.
