Does Anyone Else Not Test Early? JOIN US (12 BFP So Far!)

[baby1wanted]

Well girls...af looks like she's shown up...but...that's my cycle gone from 27, 51, 42 and now 35...could this finally be a sign of a regular cycle trying to establish itself? I hope so! It also means I have to call my gp tomorrow to get my blood tests booked in to see if I'm ovulating so I'm weirdly okay about no bfp as af may be the start of good things how is everyone else?*

Sending you hugs and hoping the blood tests give you good news!

Hi all
Just writing in an update. Joined this group as normally I'm a POAS addict from 6 dpo and the were getting me down
Really proud of myself as I'm now 12 dpo and have not done a single test! AF due in 2 days but I have some issues with DH being away then and wanting to be there when I test. He was planning to be back on the 10th so was going to try and hold out but now he's going to be away until the 12th - a whole week after AF is due. Sorry everyone but I just can't hold out that long so I'm going to test tomorrow morning at 13 dpo.
To make excuses for myself that's still 7 days later than I normally start testing!
Wish me luck for a or it's going to be a sad wait for AF to show....
Hugs to all and baby dust

My DB does not want to know about anything but my fertile time which I call freak week lol . Thats fine becasue I have you guys to talk too.
I love this thread as there is no pressure to test early either.

I am CD6 where is everyone in their cycle and when do you expect to Ov. Mine should be next Friday 14th ish!!

LOL, I don't let my DH know either, I don't want to put too much pressure on him. I just basically tell him when we're going to be BDing and thankfully he is always happy to oblige

I am now on CD9, usually Ov at around CD15-17 so next Monday-Wednesday. Will do our first BD tonight, (my DH was sick yesterday so missed starting SMEP on CD8, so we'll BD today and tomorrow to get back on track).

Well girls...af looks like she's shown up...but...that's my cycle gone from 27, 51, 42 and now 35...could this finally be a sign of a regular cycle trying to establish itself?

Sorry to hear about AF Ss but good that your cycles are regulating themselves. 35 is definitely better than 51 or 42.

Good for you Baby1! Not testing is really tough, especially for POAS addict! I have my fx that you get your tomorrow!

Quick update on me, went to see both my doctor and my naturopath last week to discuss my short luetal phase. Due to the fact that I just started my period again, both were not concerned. The most important thing is that I am ovulating, which I am so they are both pleased. My doctor told me that if my next three cycles still have short lps then to come se her again and she will refer me to a specialist at that time.

Also, my naturopath warned me that since I was so sick this past year it may take up to a year for my body to regulate itself. While I could still get pregnant during this time, I have to remember that my body needs time to heal too. This actually took some pressure off me and made me feel better. My DH was at the appointment with me and I expressed how I felt guilty as I was the one who put off trying because of my career and then my health. He assured me that he does not blame me at all and is just happy that we are trying now, which also made me feel better.

In order to not put so much pressure on ourselves, we are also focusing on things other than TTC, like going on more hikes together and volunteering at our local Humane Society. I am also focusing on trying to get my professional designation before the end of this year, investigating doing a Masters programs and eventually completing my yoga teacher training that I have been putting off. While we are very much still TTC, it is nice to have other things to focus on!

Plus having you fabulous ladies to talk to helps quite a bit! I was happy that I was able to speak with my friend who is expecting and didn't feel anything but truly happy for her. I was really upset by my initial reaction to her pregnancy, which was mostly jealousy.

Hope everyone else is doing well!

Sounds like you have a really balanced view MrsEddie - is can all get so stressful and your whole life become nothing but TTC so great you've got focus on other things. Good luck to you in everything! x

Mummywant2be I am CD7 now went for my first acupunture today, she also did a technique called cupping on my back after that helps with circulation. It was ok I just relaxed. Once a week for 6 weeks and to herb tea.

Main thing is to get BD next week till ov.

SS so sorry about AF but like you said your cycle is regulating now.

Good luck ladies with coming Ov let's catch the eggy.

I did accupuncture previously for a back injury and loved it. It really does help you to relax. Something that I might try in the future, (right now am doing reflexology with my naturopath). I hope it brings you great results Lotus!

 

[baby1wanted]

Well I've tested but boo
It was a 10 mlU one as well so I'd say I'm out for the month.
Oh well, just wait for to rear her ugly head then get ready for next month!
Babydust to everyone

 

[Lotus Womb]

Sorry baby1. But don't give up yet till AF arrives.

Mrs Eddie I have heard great things about relexology too. Stress free and relaxation an important part of this process also. We are all on track for our BFP.

So sorry to hear about the BFN Baby1. You're not out until AF shows so I still have my FX for you!

Mrs Eddie I have heard great things about relexology too. Stress free and relaxation an important part of this process also. We are all on track for our BFP.

I hope so Lotus! I feel SO amazing after reflexology. Have you tried reiki before? I am going to take a reiki course this fall. It makes me feel incredible as well!

I have tried before but only as part of a Tai chi class. I was full of energy 'Chi'[ after my Accupunture session.
I am into Holistic Health. I am actually a part time Pregnancy Yoga teacher and a Birth Doula but only ever feel uplifted around my clints and student's.
Someone's bound to spread the their pregnancy dust on me lol. I am very passionate about my work. I completed a course in July Aromatheropy for pregnancy and Labour. It was great to add to my knowledge. Really ready to have the experiance for myself now too.

 

[Mrs. Eddie]

That is amazing Lotus! Surrounding yourself with all of that positive energy is bound to lead to good results.

I am thinking of doing my yoga teacher training as well. I absolutely love yoga and feel that it helps keep me sane during TTC.

I have my fx for you this month lady!

Hi ladies, how's it going for you all?

I'm currently 8dpo and having a bit of a rollercoaster month. My little sister who is unmarried, is renting a house in the roughest part of town and has no income cos she and her bf are both students informed me she's pregnant yesterday. Or rather her bf did cos she was too nervous that I would be upset. I cried for like 2 hours after she told me which is ridiculous but I've wanted a baby for so long and i always assumed I would have the first grandchild. I feel like a bit of a bad person but i just can't help it.

Also I was certain I'm out this month as I thought we'd missed my fertile days but I've been feeling sick in waves for the last several days, I'm really crampy and I'm having a lot of creamy lotiony cm. I want to test now but not due til tuesday so trying to wait. Sorry for the self pity-fest!

Baby dust to all.

Annio that must be really hard for you, sending you hugs
On my last cycle my two SILs both announced their pregnancies within 2 days of AF arriving for me and it was hard. I was so happy but also a bit sad for myself at the same time. One of them has since miscarried and then I felt so guilty at having any bad feeling

I am still in limbo, think I am around 16 dpo, normal luteal phase is 14 days. 2 BFNs in the last few days but no sign of AF. I have had continuous cramps for 3 days (not normal for me), nipples that hurt to be touched by even clothes and the world of white CM (Sorry TMI but so much I keep running to the loo to see if AF has started)
Feel in complete limbo and it's getting me down, caved and have had a glass of wine tonight as I can't help thinking I'm out...

 

[annio84]

I wouldn't mind baby1, but all she does is complain about how awful it is and how it's ruining all her plans.

I have everything crossed for you, you're not out til she shows up!

 

[Mrs. Eddie]

Big Amino, it can be so hard to hear about other people's pregnancies, especially if they are not grateful to be pregnant.

Sorry that you are in limbo Baby1, I hope thing sort themselves out soon.

 

[annio84]

O ladies help! I really want to test. I know I should wait til i'm due on tuesday but i've woken up feeling so sick and crampy and i've so much cm that I have to keep checking af's not come early.


Grrr, i was doing so well as well. I even ignored it and didn't flip out when I had a dream of getting bfp at 7dpo!

Well that's a good sign, bet Tuesday feels like ages away! I only ever test with FMU so to stop me testing when I want to I have to force myself to run to the loo for a wee as soon as I wake up and then the chance has gone!!!

Stay strong Annio! Tuesday is not that far away! All of your symptoms sound super promising so focus on that for right now. Whenever I am tempted to test early I always think of how terrible it would be to get a false positive or chemical.

 

[MummyWant2be]

hang in there Annio - i must say your symptoms are sooo promising FX'd you'll be our 13 BFP

how is everyone doing?

AFM:cd15 today and my whole abdnomin has been so sore since yesterday-FX'd its O time...so far we have BD on(cd10,11,13,14) my every other day plan has been ruined coz DH has been on leave so it turned to a "every day BD" not complaining though - FX'd we catch the eggy
