first cycle actively trying (June 2015)

[mininun1]

Welcome back, Esperanza! It's good to see you Yes, I think waiting about 13 weeks is best. Where are you at in your cycle?

Hi mininun
That's a great question...only God knows the answer.
I "think" am 3DPO. Had cramping and felt like (TMI)
my vagina, cervix and everything inside of me was swollen. I dont know how else to describe it. I blamed it on the continuos BDing the past days.
Now i am very bloated but thats no so unusual for me (ibs).
My tests arrived today....am feeling very optimistic!
Also a pigeon pooped on my face yesterday!! yukky but Im taking it as a sign of good luck

 

[mininun1]

That's funny!! Yes, it definitely could be a good sign! And that's great that you BD'd a lot through your fertile window. Now for that two week wait!

I still think I'm out for this month, lots of cramping and bloat, just like always right before AF shows up. I hope one of us gets a BFP sometime soon - we are more than due up for one!

Haha Esperanza that must have been so gross! 2WW is the worst! FX for you!

Mini hopefully they are pregnancy cramps and bloat and not AF!

I feel like I'm out too but not sure. Got my surgery scheduled for next Friday to get my teeth pulled so I better know by then. Haha. Think I'm gonna ask DH to pick up some more accurate tests tonight since all I have are cheap ones.

We are definitely due for a BFP! We haven't had any this month.

 

[mininun1]

That would be ideal, Gina! I think it would just be a big morale boost if one of us gets a BFP.

 

[ttcdfw]

Well girls, I'm out. Checked cm tonight and its brown tinged. Looks like AF is right on schedule. Ugh. I'm really afraid we have MFI and my DH won't be really on board for testing.....ugh.


Esperanza - fx for you!

Hoping for bfp for you ladies soon!!

 

[gina236]

So sorry hun! Just remember it can take 6-12 months for a perfectly healthy fertile couple to conceive if actively trying. Which blows my mind. Lol.

 

[ttcdfw]

Well we are at about 18 mos of ntnp so.....ugh.

 

[mininun1]

Hugs, ttcdfw! Trust me I know the disappointment but don't let it get you down. Easier said than done I know. Thinking of you!

Bfn this morning with a CB digi. Now started spotting. Looks like I'm out. But at least that means I can get the surgery. AND I'm getting the surgery a week earlier than I planned so maybe we will try in August. (haven't informed hubby of that yet ) maybe I won't tell him and I'll just initiate around the time I should ovulate so he doesn't have any performance anxiety. Hehe.

 

[mininun1]

Well boo for the BFN but it's a good thing in a way since you can get your surgery and be more comfortable. That's a great idea to not tell him before ovulation, just initiate and then maybe tell him later. Definitely less stress on the hubby!

 

[gina236]

Ya he really stressed himself out last month. And I don't think he will mind me initiating things he wants a baby as bad as me so if I have to withhold a little information from him to make it happen, it's worth it. Thankfully I have this site to talk to people because without that I would definitely tell him. Lol! He's got a good idea of my cycle so he will prolly figure it out but if he thinks we aren't trying he won't be stressed about it.

 

[mininun1]

Same here! This site is a big help, so I don't talk about baby stuff nonstop to DH He really wants a baby too, but I guess it's a pretty normal thing for guys to not want to be as chatty about it...or at least that's how mine is lol. We have family visiting next weekend and staying for a week, but luckily they will be leaving right before my ovulation. That sounds awful but I don't want to miss any opportunity. My goal is to be able to announce a pregnancy at Christmas to immediate family. It would be really cool if several of us on this board could be bump buddies

 

[gina236]

I'd love that! My guy is the same. He just listens to me ramble about it. Haha. He has always just been okay if it happens but since he gave me the green light to try he actually gets dissapointed when AF comes. It's kinda cute If I succeed in August I will be telling my parents, in laws, and tough mudder teammates (I'll have to skip a few obstacles) the end of September.

 

[mininun1]

August is a great month for a BFP, right before the start of fall! I'm cramping like crazy today so I almost wish AF would start early so I can get it over with and on to the next cycle lol.

 

[gina236]

Lol I'm still holding out hope for you! You arent out yet! But at the same time I'd love to be bump buddies! Haha. I really hope August is good to both of us! May is a great month to have a baby! It's my wedding anniversary month that would be a great anniversary present

 

[mininun1]

Oh wow yes it would! And you wouldn't have to be heavily pregnant during the hot days of summer, which is a plus. I think about weird stuff like that

 

[gina236]

Haha I do too. That's the only drawback to wanting an August baby. I would have to go through summer very pregnant. I would be okay with May instead

 

[Esperanza2015]

Hi ladies!

August seems like an awesome month to TTC!
Unfortunately if it doesn't happen for us this month I will take a break from TTC and will start again after our wedding.
We just decided to give a chance now to see and at least I have learned so much from my body, CX, cm and all that stuff that it was a good experience. If it happens I will be passed the 1st trimester If everything goes ok and I can tell people when they see my little bump
Best of luck for you guys...am still waiting 10 more days to test.
Am putting together the invitations now, at least that keeps my mind of my upcoming rainbow!

 

[gina236]

Awe that's exciting! You will have plenty to keep you occupied with an upcoming wedding! Fingers crossed for you! I almost had the same situation but we weren't trying. I was late one month and started planning out how we would announce it at our wedding. Haha. I plan at the first sign of anything
