F.A.I.T.H. (Forsaking all, I trust Him)

[Rdy2BaMom]

Welcome again to all the newcomers!! Glad to have you!!

Willy-I like what your DH had to say. . .it is soo true!!

Guppy-Sorry you are feeling like this may not be your month!! Still praying for you, and I am glad your emotional state is okay. I know last month was particularly hard for me. I'm hoping that faint line turns into a big bright one for you!!

mommahawk-I love your pma! We can all get so discouraged during this time in each of our lives and it is always encouraging to me to see others who can see something positive in just about anything.

mrskcbrown-So sorry to hear that AF showed up. . but I agree with the other ladies. . don't give up! I know you can't see it now, but God does have a plan. Only He knows why you haven't gotten your BFP yet and I am sure someday, when you are holding your little one in your arms, you will look back and fully understand His perfect timing. Hang in there hon!! He only wants the best for you!

Baby#3-CONGRATULATIONS!! I am so excited for you!!

Well, on a side note. . . I still need some testing dates ladies!! I will try and get them updated as you all give them to me. Also, I have a quick question. . . WARNING: this contains a little tmi. . .

Okay. . .so usually my periods are very heavy for about 3 days, then very light for about 2 days. . . however, this month and last month have been weird. Last month I had 9 days of bleeding, 3 heavy days and 6 light days. This month, I had 1 heavy day and I am on my second day of light bleeding. I was still right on time, just not nearly as much bleeding as usual. Anyone experience this before?? Is it pretty normal??

 

[mommahawk]

Baby #3 -- Yay!! That's awesome news!! Congrats! Praying for a sticky bean for you!

Guppy -- Sounds good, girl! I'll keep my FX'd for a stronger line!

Mrs.Brown -- Oh, hang in there, hun...He can turn your mourning into dancing! But, I think if you need a break, definitely take it! I've noticed since I've been on this forum, TTC has become a little more...consuming, I guess is the word. But take heart, a BFP can happen even when you're just BD'ing for fun!!


Rdy -- I know that my periods vary...I remember one a couple of months ago that was only 2 days of light bleeding/spotting... But I've never had one that lasted 9 days, I don't think...I'd say it's all part of our normal cycles, but if you're concerned, don't be afraid to call your doc!

Jenna -- how'd your math test go?

somedaymama -- Sorry for the long response to your straightforward question yesterday! My husband calls me an "outward processor"


Well, as you can see from my chart, my temp dropped way below coverline this morning, so I knew I'd be getting a visitor, and I was right. AF just arrived. "Why, hello, old friend..." But I did remind her that I was able to keep her away for two extra days, and a time would come soon that I wouldn't be seeing her for quite a long while!
yeah, I know, I'm a dork


Well, Willy, it looks like we might be BD'ing around the same time this month! Merry Christmas, daddy!

Blessings and to all!

Thank you for the congratulations.

Rdy2bamom - Just a little background on me. This will be my 3rd child but my 7th pregnancy. With my first child, I experience what you are experiencing now. I actually got AF for my first month and didn't think anything of it. But when I missed AF the next month I took a HPT and got a BFN, but AF still never came so I went to the dr and while I thought I should have been only about 4 weeks, I was actually 9 weeks. Not sure if that helps but I am one of the rare ones that had my AF for the first month of my pregnancy.


Lots of luck and baby to all of you TTC

Rdy2BaMom,

You know it’s funny, because I’m experiencing that as well on this cycle. I’m CD 4 today and was just experiencing that. I’m glad to see the bfp’s in here. GOD knows our timing for our BFP’s. That is why I always say. Let GO and Let GOD! Our time is coming for our BFP’s. We have to remain “POSITIVE” about this and not to stress. And who ever get’s the bfp first. Let’s make a day to create “The Back to school September’s Thread” in the 1st Trimester group. They got the “Beach August Babies Thread” all ready.

Haha, no problem. I love to read your posts, you manage to find the bright side in most situations.

Sorry to hear AF showed up. It is really good that you managed to lengthen your LP though!

Hi Dipar_Butt3! Haven't seen you for awhile! :wave:

 

[MrsEngland]

Hi ladies,

I was just wondering what website you all use to track your temperatures etc? And do you have to start from day 1 of your period?
Also do you know of any vitamins that are good to take when TTC i wanna give my body every chance of getting a BFP.

I'm praying for you all, you'll get there.

[somedaymama]

MrsEngland,

I use fertilityfriend.com, and when you have to start depends on how long your cycles are. I have about 42 day cycles usually, so it's not a big deal if I get lazy and don't start temping for a week or so. The shorter your cycles, the sooner you should start recording temps in order to see an accurate pattern.

I'm just taking a vegan prenatal, Guppy and some others have been taking B vitamins to lengthen their luteal phase. If you have a LP defect, they could help you.

If you are just getting started with temp tracking, I highly recommend the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility..

Thanks so much, i will definately look for that book.

 

[mrskcbrown]

Thanks ladies! I spoke with DH and he wants to continue to try until we reach one year without IUI. So I guess we will keep trying, although I am not feeling it at all! He is such a great christian man, and he just told me that we will try and in God's timing we will! I dont know whether to use clomid this month or just take my metformin because I believe it is making me ovulate on its own but the clomid just increases the chances. IDK??

I think I will give it a try with metformin alone and gives clomid a break. Clomid supposedly makes cervical mucus hostile and thick and we dont want that!

I probably wont be on here much, until I am in my 2WW, so GL and I hope yall get your BFPs!

 

[Rdy2BaMom]

Dipar!!!! I am sooo glad to see you back on here!!! Where have you been girl?? How are you??? Are we still on the same cycle??? Missed you hon!

 

[Guppy051708]

Well, apparently i need to learn to follow my acne...i didn't have blood when i wiped, but when i went to check my CP i did. It wasn't very much at all. But im guessing its AF ... Guess im out I just dont understand with my temps increasing why that would happen...

That is odd...on your last cycle you had a normal downturn when your AF was about to start. I'm so sorry.

 

[Guppy051708]

I know, i dont get it either.
Some ppl on here told me that it could just be spotting and i really am preggo, but based off of my acne, im willing to bet its the

 

[somedaymama]

Well it's still possible given your temps, and acne could be a pregnancy sign, but it's hard to say for sure. I guess if you get more you'll know for sure.

 

[Dipar_Butt3]

Dipar!!!! I am sooo glad to see you back on here!!! Where have you been girl?? How are you??? Are we still on the same cycle??? Missed you hon!

Rdy2BaMom. Yes i'm back I've been ok. Getting ready for Christmas. I'm doing good these days You know, I lost count on the number of cycles it's crazy But right now i'm on CD 4 now. AF came on the 11th of December.

I miss you to Rdy2BaMom. How have you been? How are you? And what's going on..On your end of the computer?

Let's all have faith for our bfp's. And make a Back To School Thread on the pregnancy side of bnb. If they haven't made a September Thread yet.

 

[J_K_L]

Hi Ladies. I am in my Fertile Period and my husband was able to make it home for the weekend. Woohoo. At least there is a chance it happened this month.

Have you ladies seen this thread. It's an old wives tale...but fun nonetheless.

https://www.babyandbump.com/trying-to-conceive/224509-old-wives-tale-try-go-crazy.html

I got Boy, Girl, Boy and when I did it over my tummy I got a boy.

 

[J_K_L]

I've been having a similar experience. I'm chalking it up to going off the BCP. Not sure if it's normal though.

Okay. . .so usually my periods are very heavy for about 3 days, then very light for about 2 days. . . however, this month and last month have been weird. Last month I had 9 days of bleeding, 3 heavy days and 6 light days. This month, I had 1 heavy day and I am on my second day of light bleeding.

Amazing!! Praise Him!! Congratulations

Mommahawk - u r so funny! Merry Christmas, DH is right! I am already planning the line-up of Victoria's Secret lingerie over the holiday "dance time"

Actually - it sounds like a lot of us will be ovulating around the same time! I am currently CD 4. Maybe God planned it this way so all of our BFP's could be together?

I'm really praying for a BFP on my 30th bday - I don't think you could get a better present!

Someday - I just love u.

Once again - thx all for your great love for each other. God's love shines through for sure.

 

[Willynilly]

Baby3 - CONGRATS!!! God is so good...I love his amazing gift of children. Enjoy the next 9 months.
