first cycle actively trying (June 2015)

[mininun1]

I hope so. It's such a weird balance, trying to stay positive but also trying to not get too excited in case AF does show. I just don't understand why I'm not pregnant yet when I've been doing everything right the last couple months. ..ugh

That BFP will come, love! Sending baby dust your way!

I've never understood it either mini. You have been the most dedicated I've seen. I've never got how it can take 6-12 months of active trying for a fertile healthy couple. You would think it was as easy as they made it seem in high school (and for me how easy it was) Just know your not alone. I'm glad AF is late for me because it gave me time to adjust to the idea of not being pregnant. If she was on time I would have been devastated. Hang in there. Hopefully you won't have a crazy cycle again. FX for you hun!

Aw ladies! Hang in there! At least you know you're trying and nature has to take its course at some point!

I'm visiting my mom this weekend and forgot my BBT therm so I can't measure that, but I brought my Wondfos. CP is still pretty high and soft, CM still plenty and creamy. Took a test for fun but it was a stark white BFN, haha.

Going to have fun with her and my aunt today and test tomorrow morning to see what happens!

Gina, any sign of AF?
Mini, how are you?
Magical- when do you O? Are you excited to officially start?!

 

[gina236]

Hey RexMom! No AF yet. I feel like she is coming but still not even spotting. But this morning was still bfn. Your symptoms sound good! Have fun with your mom and aunt!

 

[magicalmom2be]

Hey RexMom2Be!

I should O in the next 4 days. I was hoping that by taking Soy Isoflavones CD2-6 that I would O sooner, but it looks like it may be another 31 day cycle.

And yes, I am SUPER excited to start trying. For the past couple of months I've been doing things to get my body prepared for conception. I just hope we won't be TTC for too long. Hoping for a BFP by October/November.

 

[gina236]

Okay so I'm super excited. I was starting to get confused by which test was what so I took them all apart and taped and labeled the strips. I know I'm crazy but bare with me. Haha. So I'm labeling them and looking at the one I got a evap on and realized that's not the right one. That's the FRER. I never took it apart because I didn't want to mess it up. And looked really close at the digi and see something on that too! I was told if you have any hcg at all the digi will show it on the strip inside. So i was kinda bummed i didnt see anything at first. But i was also looking at it in terrible light. So now i have 3 tests I see a verrrrry faint line on! Could have all happened after the time limit for all I know but definitely gives me some hope I put dots on the paper next to wear I see lines to see if hubby sees them as he doesn't have line eye and usually doesn't see anything. Haha.

 

[mininun1]

I see a line, Gina!!! It's faint but definitely there!!! Keep testing, I bet by tomorrow morning the line will be even darker! I think it's safe to say you have a bfp!!!

 

[gina236]

I hope so! I'm still being cautious. If AF doesn't come tomorrow I am officially late regardless of when I O'd. I am going to try to wait to test with a frer until monday. I have always hated these sort of tests because of how uncertain they are. Ive always bought digitals. No question there. The lines are probably evaps. The one on the frer is weird. It looks almost like the strip has a piece missing when I shine a light on it. But it gives me hope. Maybe I'll get a line on one of my IC tests tomorrow or sunday.

How was your first week at the new job?!

 

[mininun1]

It was great! It's a bit of a transition going from a smaller business to a corporate office, but a good one I would definitely stay hopeful, I for sure see a line. I don't know how you will hold out until Monday!

 

[gina236]

I almost made DH stop on his way home and get some but I have my cousins baby's 1st birthday party sunday and I know if I just got a bfp I won't be able to not tell someone. Lol. I still keep feeling like AF is starting but so far nothing.

 

[RexMom2Be]

Gina!!! Woooooo!!!! Can't wait to see it get darker!!!

I tested again tonight- BFN.

But... I got so excited to walk into the bathroom late tonight to see my boobs covered in blue veins. The things we get excited over in the TWW!

 

[FertileFlower]

mininun1, I know the feeling. I've been doing everything imaginable that I've read could help also. This is month 4 for us. Might be the lucky month though!

Gina,
RexMom,
MagicMom

Baby dust to all of us!!

I am officially due for my period today, but so far I am feeling more pregnant! Fingers, toes and legs crossed!! No a/f cramps, no moodiness, no diarrhea.
Just super tired, constipated, and mellow.

Here is hoping and wishing for all of us!!

 

[gina236]

I feel weird today. I keep feeling like AF is going to show but I checked my cervix and it's still high and soft and not even a hint of blood on it . I think I have been convincing myself AF will come just because I keep getting negative tests. Happened to me in January before we were trying. I was 6 days late for no reason at all. The only time I've ever been late other than being pregnant. My cervix is the only thing keeping me a little hopeful. All other symptoms have pretty much gone away.

 

[mininun1]

Gina, that's so weird! So either AF is late for no reason or you have a shy bfp. I'm still holding out for the latter.

RexMom, I'm super veiny today too! Pretty sure for me it's just pre-AF, because I've also been crampy and have had leg aches. But I'm keeping fingers crossed!

 

[pacificlove]

FX Gina!

As for me, boobs are less sore and haven't had any cramps for 2 days now. No spotting yet. AF is due on the 25th. Been feeling nauseous this morning. Hope it's a good sign.

 

[gina236]

FX for everyone! Change in boobs is a good sign! I always ask DH if they look bigger or if my nipples look darker and he never knows. Shows how much he pays attention lol.

AFM still no af!

 

[mininun1]

Omg that's exciting that AF is staying away, Gina!!

I'm cramping still, and AF is due for me on the 26th, but considering I didn't start until the 30th last month, it could be after that. Of course hopefully she doesn't show at all. FX to everyone! ! RexMom, how are you doing?

 

[gina236]

Going crazy!! No AF yet. Cervix is still in same position still with creamy CM. But bfn on every test so far. Picking up some FRERs right now to use tomorrow morning with fmu. If nothing by next Saturday I'll make an appointment for a blood test.

Oh and my boobs are starting to get sensitive. Either af is coming or they finally got the memo that there is a baby in there. Lol FX for everyone!!

 

[mininun1]

Fx that it's a shy bfp! Keep us posted when you test!!
