Early 30's TTC #1

[rosababy]

Crumbs, I'm right there with ya. CD 1 for me.

Taking a break from BnB for a while.

 

[Crumbs]

Oh, Rosa

It's almost midnight here and the flood gates haven't opened yet. I don't want them to open ... but by morning, the should make her proper appearance. I still can't put weight on my sprained ankle - it's so hard to be distracted when I'm not really mobile. And our holiday plans are based upon this cycle too. My Mom's visit is coming up and I can't even help spiffy this place up. DH is left with all the painting until ... most-likely tomorrow

Pity party for one

Rosababy.

Hakunamata - did you ever finish reading Sing me home?? I just finished reading it. Surprisingly apart from the first chapter or so I didn't find it too upsetting. It did remind me that my relationship with my DH is important and to not loose sight of it in this TTC merry-go-round.

Hope everyone is having an okay Monday!! Why is that weekends are always too short and the weekdays just drag??

 

[MrsPTTC]

Hi everyone

Mrsjmouse glad you're back.

Rosa -sending you lots of

Crumbs - Sorry the witch got you.

AFM I've now got my first fertility appointment booked, yay!

Sending you all x

 

[hopefulmama2b]

Crumbs and Rosa- sorry to hear about AF

Rosa- If you are still reading....were you guys waiting until after summer to do IUI or can you do that this next cycle?

MrsPTTC- Good luck with the appointment and keep us updated!!

Arianne? Piccolo? Soleil?? Thinking of you girls...

AFM- I think I ovulated last night or this morning so waiting on my temp spike. Do you guys know how long after O you should get it? Like, if I o'd last night would this morning's temp necessarily reflect it? This cycle most closely reflects my pre-miscarriage cycles so I'm hoping that's a good sign!

 

[MrsPTTC]

Thanks hopeful Well im positive I ovulated last tues night as I got quite bad ovulation pains but got a temp dip on the wed & started rising on the thurs. So although FF reckons I ovulated on the wed I'm not so sure x

 

[hopefulmama2b]

Your chart looks just like what I think mine will. I had cramps last night as well, but no rise today. I'm guessing it takes a little time- maybe a day instead of the 12 hour difference between my pain and temp this morning. Doesn't really matter as long as I get a rise tomorrow and know that I did indeed o!

Rosa- If you are still reading....were you guys waiting until after summer to do IUI or can you do that this next cycle?

I scheduled my laparoscopy this morning for July 7, and I'm sure the doc will want to wait until next cycle do do an IUI. However, we'll be out of town during my August fertile time, so we're looking at September.

 

[hopefulmama2b]

I'm sure you're really frustrated. Hang in there.

Hope you get your rise hun. I don't understand the dip at & rise after ovulation as I'm sure the time that you ovulate must make a difference. I'm hoping I'm 7dpo tomorrow rather than 6! Had some cramping this afternoon but trying not to look into it too much lol x

Ms Mouse - I did read it! Definitely not as sad as I thought it would be. I really enjoyed it. And I really like the way it turned out.

 

[hopefulmama2b]

MrsMax- I hope AF doesn't show today!!!! And I hope you had a great vacation!

 

[mrsmax]

MrsMax- I hope AF doesn't show today!!!! And I hope you had a great vacation!

Thanks Hopeful. How sweet of you to realise today is SUPPOSED to be CD1 and I am back from hols. Holiday was awesome - no thhinking about TWW.

Anyways, I said SUPPOSED because I am sitting here a little scared and excited and scared at the mo, cause IAF not arrived and I am always 13 days LP and so I tested an hour ago and I have the faintest shadow of a line...eek!! My dh doesnt know yet as I think I am seeing things (have tricked myself once before). I daren't hope - not thinking as I am typing this....please, please let this be it. I cant bear a crash after this glimmer of hope...

have just gone to store and bought digi ones but need to store up some pee.

I am sure I am seeing things - holiday delierium..

but maybe, just maybe...

 

[SMFirst]

early congrat mrsmax.. FX'd it'll turn into a dark line very quickly!

careful with those digi tests though - I've heard they are actually less sensitive than regular FRER's...

 

[pink80]

FX'd MrsMax x

 

[hopefulmama2b]

YAY!!! How about showing a pic and we can halp determine if you're seeing things?!?

Like Susan said- becareful with the digi. Not as sensitive as the FRER! Maybe save it for FMU tomorrow unless you have a decent line today. Like I said- we'd be happy to take a look and help you determine what the line looks like!!!!

 

[pink80]

Oh yeah pics

You'd think I'd have thought of that given that I like to share pics of lots of things with my pee on it

 

[mrsmax]

Thanks everyone. There werent any FRER ones in the shop. I just stared at it again and now it looks less clear, so could have been evap. Probably was evap. I think I will wait until tomorrow like you suggest and use the digi one. Thanks for the warning - I didnt realise they werent that sensitive - just wanted something definite no or yes.
I would take piccie, but Dh would see and I dont want to excite him unneccesarily - I will tomorrow if it is still there after he goes to work!!

This can't be it as I dont think I'll ever see a BFP - but I might just enjoy this evening believing in the "impossible". It is wonderful knowing you guys are wishing me all the best though xxx

Fxd!

 

[hopefulmama2b]

What kind of test was it? Just wait to see what tomorrow morning brings. As far as FRER vs digi- FRER have been shown to pick up 12.5 miu although I saw a shadow on mine the day my bloods were 9. Digis are more like 50 miu!! So just think if you're getting a really faint line on a 20 miu and it takes 48 hours to double, you could still get a negative on a digi for a couple days after a line test. Don't lose hope. I hope this is it for you!!!

 

[MrsPTTC]

Fingers crossed for tomorrow Mrsmax!!! Really hope you get your BFP! As you're in the UK you should get a Superdrug test, I'm sure they're only 10miu x
