Fireworks Will Fly With BFPs In July!

[jury3]

Mirolee-Yay for starting a new cycle! You have got to be close to a sticky bfp!

Ashlee-I'm sorry this cycle is being so frustrating. Even with those high temps still in here, you had a big temp spike CD34 and they have stayed up since then. Also, you took that opk that looked really dark around that time too. That's why I think maybe you O'd later. However, I am a firm believer in trusting your body and the signs. You know your body better than anyone else, so if you think you O'd cd20/21, then you probably did. I think we are all just trying to offer some other explanations as to why you might not be getting AF or a bfp yet...not trying to frustrate you, just trying to stay positive. I know it can be frustrating sometimes. I've thought about taking a break from bnb for a few days as well. It just gets depressing sometimes...No matter what, I have my fingers crossed for you and I really hope you get some answers soon (aka a bfp!).

AFM-I still don't really have any symptoms. I've had some stomach issues here and there, but that could just be from eating unhealthy...although I'm usually not that sensitive to bad foods. My bbs feel like maybe they are getting a little sore and my nipples feel slightly sensitive, but those are both very faint at this point. Plus, those are both normal AF symptoms for me. If I have my normal 13 day lp, then spotting would normally start tomorrow. If I have no spotting and no AF by Sunday I might test then. We'll see...
So yesterday I was reading the bfp announcement section to try and get some hope...there was this girl on there who had no idea she was preggo. She was getting ready to actually start ttc, went to the doc and turned out to be 13 weeks preggo! WTH?! That's the way to do it...have no idea you're preggo until the 2nd trimester so you don't have to go through the 1st trimester scary part. Just find out your preggo and announce it right away lol

Kara-I'm with Sonia on the opks...I was using wondfos and I would save them to compare. However, my lh would fluctuate enough that I was driving myself crazy trying to see if I was getting closer. This month I only did the cb digis and it was much less stressful. However, if you keep with the cheapies, I agree with Nikki about taking pics. Like I said though, my lh fluctuated, so it was hard to really compare.

I called my Dr.'s office and told them that I'd like to get a blood test because of my faint positive and then negatives. It could be possible that I have an ectopic. It would explain the pregnancy symptoms, high temps, pains in my pelvic area and slow hcg growth. I'd rather know sooner than later if that were the case. The receptionist took down my info so hoping to hear back from my midwife soon

Ashlee-I am so sorry this cycle is going so long.
Kara-I take pictures too, well of the ones that start getting darker until I o.
AFM- still fiddiling around the tww. One week left.

The really dark opk I got was on CD20 then I got a negative the next day and o cramps so I stopped taking opks and my temps started to rise and not be so erratic. So I'm fairly certain that I O'd then. After that I started getting sticky cm then creamy and (probably tmi) diarrhea, which always happens after o for some reason. Then I took that OPK just for kicks on Tuesday night(CD36) and it was a positive but obviously not pre-O since my temp was over 98.8 that day. O'ing on CD30 would make no sense with all the symptoms I've had and was having before that point. This month has just been frustrating all around. I just want to go see my midwife and get some answers already.

 

[HWPG]

ashlee, i hope hope hope that is not the case. please keep us posted.

 

[Disneybaby26]

Oh Ashlee- I hadn't even thought of that I really hope that's not the case and that everything is Ok. We are all here for you, I'm so sorry this has been such a mystery cycle for you! If the doctor doesn't call back by a half hour before they close I would call again and demand to talk to someone, I know how those offices can be to deal with! Fx'd everything is just fine!

 

[RobertRedford]

Oh Ashlee, I reallllly hope its not ectopic! My fingers are crossed for a bfp soon and a healthy, happy pregnancy!!

 

[clynn11]

We're all thinking of you and here to support you ash Hoping your midwife can give you answers!!!

Mirolee- FX you get your rainbow, sticky sticky bean this go round!

AFM, took an OPK yesterday morning- suuuuper negative so idk if i'll be O'ing late this cycle or what. I keep wanting to temp but always freaking forget!! Grrrrr My alarm even says 'bbt temp' but it never fails I wake up like 30min before it goes off and get up and then am like "ohhhh yeah damnit". grrr

 

[clynn11]

OH! And Kevin got some of the bacterial cultures back, all were negative. His infectious disease doctor seems pretty certain that he thinks he has tuberculosis. His blood tested positive for it, but his x-rays showed healthy lungs initially. The doctor said sometimes it can thrive in other places, and in Kevin's case he think it is in his back/spine- which would make sense considering my poor love is in constant horrible back pain. Brings him to tears unless he's on his pain medication. They said it will take another 4 weeks to get the TB culture results back from his lymph node. But they don't think it is cancer- so yaaaaaaaaaaaay! They said his lymph node was necrotic I think? Not too sure what that means...

 

[morganwhite7]

Lol Cassidy, I hate that, I'll do the same after flopping around in bed. But I'd say the 97/98 shift is easy to see. Even if I temp in the middle of the day, it's always 97 pre O and 98 post O.

And thank god for no cancer

 

[RobertRedford]

YAY for no cancer, Cassidy!!!

What CD are you on? Hopefully you O soon! How has DH been feeling??

 

[asmcsm]

Cassidy necrotic means it's dead or dying tissue. So glad it was negative for cancer!

Thanks ladies, I'm Hoping thats not the case either but i'd rather know if it is now than later

 

[pdxmom]

[mom2pne]

Can I join? I am on cd 19 of this cycle that started as a result of having a cp. I am 6 dpo.

I have had left nipple pain since 1 dpo and it seems to finally be getting better, nausea since yesterday (5 dpo), and bloating today. I really hope I am pregnant and it sticks this time. I know I had a cp in February 2011 and think I had 2 at the end of 2012 when my dh were ttc before our break.

I am nearly 40 and have 5 boys aged 19, 17 (on Sunday), Twins 7, and 3. My dh and I have been together since January 1992 and got married January 1997.

 

[goldstns]

Cassidy- glad DH is getting good results, but must still be stressful not really knowing. Is he feeling better still?

 

[RobertRedford]

Mom2pne, of course! Welcome!! We go by first names here, so let us know what you would prefer to be called

 

[RobertRedford]

really off topic and random, but it has been bugging me and I'd love your opinions.

I have always said that I was okay with any guy I was with to watch porn/etc. I never thought that I would care. I was on OH's computer last night looking something up and saw that he had been watching porn earlier in the day. I immediately kind of freaked out. It made me sooo insecure. I know that its not something he does often, and I know that he doesn't like me any less, but it still totally weirded me out. I guess I kind of have to give him a free pass since he hasn't gotten any since AF showed up, and thats a long time for us, ha. Anyone else encountered this? Am I totally out of line to be feeling insecure?

 

[asmcsm]

Welocome Mom2pne!

I definitely hope it's not one too.

My midwife called back, I explained my symptoms, the faint positive before then negatives and everything to her. She said I could possibly be pregnant even with my hpt not being positive after that faint positive and being 16-17dpo and that the sharp pains are normal for early pregnancy, however if they're more to one side it could be an ectopic or a cyst. In which case I should try and get in to get checked out. She said to just wait it out for the next week and see if I get a positive hpt.They were going to make an apt for her to give me an exam next Friday but I will be out of town, but she will be out of town for 2 weeks after so I had to make an apt with her coworker who's actually a Dr. for the 6th. Hopefully I'll have gotten AF or a BFP before I have to see him then.

 

[mom2pne]

I'm Simone.

As for the insecurity you are not alone. Sometimes I wish my dh wouldn't watch it at all because I feel I'm not pretty enough for him any more.
