DTD for a 2011 BFP

[katiekittykat]

FX for you Fisher

 

[loolindley]

Sarah, I am so sorry for you. What does your doctor say?

Katie, congratulations! Thats fabulous news!!!!!!

Fisher, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you.

I am 7dpo at the moment, and I don't really know how to feel. Positive, I guess. We did everything at the right times, although not as much as I would really like. I did a test this morning (yea, yea I know!!!!!), and of course it was negative. Thats ok though...it's still early!!

Anyway, Katie, let us all know what your secret is! Did you follow SMEP the month you concieved, or did you take a more relaxed aproach? xx

 

[katiekittykat]

I didn't do anything! We were under the care of an FS so I'd kind of resigned myself to the fact that something was wrong with one or both of us and it would need to be treated.

I still temped this cycle, and I based my OPKs on cycle #3 - luckily I had a similar cycle so it worked out right this time! I started OPKs on cd18 and got a positive on cd20. We didn't DTD on that night because we had our 1st FS appt the next day and I wasn't sure whether OH would have to do an SA there and then. But we did DTD on cd21 and cd22, and FF confirmed ov on cd21. I was convinced I was out though - my only symptom in the 2WW was sore nipples for a couple of days, and I had AF cramps at 13DPO. On top of that I had a blood test at the FS at 10DPO and when I got the results all they said was that I had ov'd and I assumed if I was pregnant they would have said! I only tested at 14DPO because FF was telling me to, and we got the shock of our lives when it was positive!

So no soy, no EPO, no keeping my legs in the air for 20 minutes, no SMEP, no Preseed......we just got lucky.

Keeping everything crossed for all 3 of you xxxx

 

[loolindley]

Awwwwww. So good to hear your success story. We have had a similar month to you. Nothing special, just OPK's, so you never know! xxx

 

[fisher640]

That's great Katie - as odd as it may be it's so reassuring to hear someone with "nothing special it just happened" after TTC. I keep going back to my cycles are just perfect clockwork everytime - so everything must b okay right?! I never did convince DH to do the SA.

Yet again I had a month with only 1 real good timed BD.

DH has declared summer "zygote-apalooza" - he is a teacher so he's off all summer and has sworn up and down we will really really really try this summer.
I have preseed in my drawer, I bought him some clover boxer shorts left over from st party's day to lounge in. If this doesn't work maybe I'll convince him to do the SA

In the mean time I've knitted a whole bag full of baby items for 'just in case'

Fx for you too Sarah & Loo

 

[loolindley]

I love the idea of the clover boxers.....that could be where we have been going wrong!!!!!

My AF is due on Monday, and then I will be on my 10th cycle. My OH is very hopeful each time, so I had to sit him down the other night and discuss the real possibility that treatment will have to be involved at some point. In my opinion there is no way that if everything is ok then we would not have caught by now, and although we are going to keep trying, I've got a feeling it will end in a doctors appointment. I'm ok with that. In fact, I kind of wish they would refer me to a specialist before August. At least then I can get the ball rolling a bit faster!!

Ha! That's probably not how it works at all!!!!

On the upside, my boobies are killing this morning! On the downside, they often do just before AF!!!!!

 

[katiekittykat]

Loo - go and see the GP anyway, even if it's not been 12 months. I went after 3 and got help straight away. It would take the pressure off a bit, if nothing else!

 

[loolindley]

I'm going to wait for AF on Monday, and then book an appointment I think. I will beg him to fiddle the dates so it looks like we have been trying for a year. To be fair it has been 10 months, so it's not like we are a million miles off!

Am going to remain upbeat until AF comes! x

 

[loolindley]

How is everyone? AF is due for me today. I'd like to say I am still feeling hopeful, but I am still getting BFN's on my ic's. I don't feel like AF is on it's way, but my body gives me so many mixed signals I will just count it as a blessing if it doesn't come today!

We will see...

 

[fisher640]

I'm just 6dpo, feeling positively no symptoms, just twiddling my thumbs.

My summer semester started and had my first day of clinical and that went fine. I am currently paying for the BDing fun with a sore throat and cold from DH - at least DH can give me something while were DTD I guess ....

 

[loolindley]

Less of the sore throat's and more of the baby making :sperm:

Well, I'm in an odd predicament where AF is now late (!), but I am still getting

My LP is usually 11 days, but Last November I had one 12 day LP, so I didn't wan't to class it as late until today. However, I have been doing ic's since day 7 (shocking I know!), and they have all been negative. I tricked myself into believing there was possibly a faint line today (if I am being honest - there wasn't), so I used my first response, and that was negative too. Humph! Those bad boys are far too expensive to waste!!!!

So there is nothing really I can do other than wait....I will keep you updated! x

 

[loolindley]

Katie, btw what are your two different due dates about? I'm confused! xxxx

And Sarah...are you there? I hope everything is ok.

 

[loolindley]

Take it all back. She's here. I'm out

 

[katiekittykat]

Ah sorry Loo Definitely go and see your doctor.

The two dates.....remember my wonky cycle lol. The top ticker is based on my LMP, which was 22 March, and that makes me 7w1d. This is what the midwife will go on. However, I didn't ovulate until cd21, so really I'm only 6w2d. This is probably what will show up on the scan. The EDD is still the same - 2 January.

 

[fisher640]

Bummer Loo!

I know seriously, we pass a cold well enough... ridiculous.

I got an invite to a friends baby shower today and am feeling rather bummed. At first I was excited because it means I get to guiltlessly wander around the baby item store for a while, but that's given way to feeling disappointed now. Zygoteapalooza begins May 27th and DH better put up! I'm serious about this!

 

[fisher640]

Oh you guys. I am SO bummed. I'm about 2 days before AF is scheduled to start and I started getting mild cramping today, I am so bummed I POAS after work, it was of course BFN and that plus the cramping has totally dashed my hopes I hate this.

 

[katiekittykat]

Fisher, I had really bad cramps at 12DPO and I was sure AF was on the way. She didn't show up though and I got a BFP at 14DPO, so don't count yourself out yet.

Hope this is it for you

 

[fisher640]

So. I'm not knocked up, incase you were wondering. CD 3 here. However, I calculate I will again begin to be fertile around 5/25 and zygoteapalooza begins 5/27 with a potential O date of 5/30.... So the point of me telling you all this is that AF will next be due on 6/11 (roughly speaking I guess) which is the same day I will turn 30. Do we think this is a good optimistic sort of thing OR "holy shit I'm 30 AND have PMS AND am still not pregnant" recipe for depression?

 

[loolindley]

Hi Fisher!!

Well, I'm all for a bit of PMA, so let's stick with that, and see it as a good omen!!! Having said that, I am 30 next year, and I know I will see that as some sort of milestone if I am not pregnant, so I don't have room to speak!!!

Our last week and a half have been nuts. We decided to get another puppy, so a week last Friday brought home a 7 and a half week old cocker spaniel. We have called her Indy, and she is gorgeous, but has completely turned our world upside down!! I forgot how hard the first few weeks are when you have to house break them!!! On top of that, my parents visited over the weekend, with their dalmation. So 3 days of 4 adults and 3 dogs in my house have left me near breaking point, and as much as I love them, I was happy to wave them off today!!!

Well, I am cd13 today, and haven't opk'd yet. Think I will start tomorrow, but think I should be O'ing at the weekend (thats if the dogs let us!!!!!!!)

Good luck with zygoteapalooza!!! Go get 'em!!!!

 

[fisher640]

How is everyone?
I'm 6dpo in the thick of the first TWW of zygoteapalooza. Just wondering how you all were doing? Any updates?
