first cycle actively trying (June 2015)

[Velathria]

I hope so fertileflower!! I really don't want to ovulate yet...
Maybe show us the test so you don't have to feel crazy. We might see a faint line too.
Was it on one of those cheap tests?
I really hope yours sticks

 

[FertileFlower]

Velathria, yep, one of the cheapies.

There is no point in taking a pic, the line would not show up.
Two months ago I had several faint lines but they were clear and with colour and the camera barely picked them up. What happened there idk because my period started as usual and then I was bfn.

According to the chart I posted I would only have 10mIU/mL today and these tests pick up at 25 which according to the chart wouldn't be until the 4th. But FRER picks up at 6.5mIU/mL so now I am SO tempted to go buy one. But I should rather wait a day or two. Ugh.

How I stop myself from testing early is think, just because FRERs detect it that early doesn't mean it will be a blazing bfp. It will be a squinter like you see all over here. You are better off waiting and getting that no doubt bfp.

I was worried about me and DH having enough energy to BD tonight because he is exhausted today more than normal but he surprised me with a quickie before he left for his second job haha. He usually only has time to come home, change uniforms and leave. I guess they put him on the schedule for a half hour later today. So don't have to worry about that anymore

 

[FertileFlower]

Gina that is great!!! It's such a relief when things work out well like that! Good on your dh for getting the work done! lol!

I have not allowed any deed doing since I had my IB. He has been ok with it because I've done other things for him but he is getting a bit antsy. Was hoping to hold him off until I get a BFP I can show him! )) I miss the love making, but I don't want to mess around too much down there just in case...... At least not before the little bean is snug as a bug embedded and safe.

I understand what you are saying about the logic of not testing yet, but the desire is so strong!! If they detect at that low amounts of hcc then I could very well get a positive!! AAARGGGHHHHHH lol!

 

[gina236]

Oh I know how bad that is. I test with cheapies until AF is due and then I'll break out the frer. They are just so expensive. I hate to waste money for nothing

 

[Velathria]

You can do it fertileflower. Just wait a few days more... your just putting yourself up for disappointment when you test early...


Yay Gina!! I'm happy your hubby still hopped on the horse maybe that quickie will be the key FX for a Bfp for you

As for me.. well looks like I'm out of the race... O disqualified me.... I woke up this morning with EWCM and I did the opk test and the blinking smiley popped up so I am at my most fertile time right now and usually when that happens I ovulate 2-3 days later.... and that will be the 5th and I wont be able to BD with the boyfriend until the 8th.... I'm a bit sad but it's alright. We'll be able to finally try for real the next month though so yay for that

Lots of sticky baby dust for you guys though

I got my fingers crossed for you two.

 

[gina236]

At least you have moving in together to take the sting out of it alittle. Next month will be your month.I'm sure of it! I'm glad we BD'd between his jobs, my best friend from high school who has hated me for 2 years (long story) messaged me last night. Totally threw me and would not have been able to concentrate on BDing. Not to mention hubby was barely staying awake watching out nightly TV show. Hopefully he got a good night sleep. Fertile window is here. I have a hard time checking my cm after we DTD because it's mixed with semen lol. So I won't really know when I am not fertile anymore. So looks like dh better get ready. Haha.

 

[Velathria]

That's good. Atleast through all the stress your still able oh I read about this tea that helps with your libido and with fertility... maybe you can drink that to get in the mood xD it's called damiana tea I think. Check it out


And yeah I am looking forward to that but I am stressed out a little again... just talked to this car salesman and they only want to give me.for my car 3600... that's like nothing. I bought my car for 6000 last year... I am really annoyed that they only want to give me 3600...

 

[gina236]

Aw man that sucks. Have you checked the NADA on it? That's what they are supposed to use to value it. Go to nada.com and enter in all the info on your car and it will show you what's it's worth. Maybe if you bring that in with you they will give you more.

 

[Velathria]

Oh thanks I will try that

 

[gina236]

I may have to test early. Just got invited to a halloween/birthday party for my late friend that we did the TM for on the 17th. I know everyone will be drinking so I need to know if I can partake or not. Oh the joys of the tww lol

 

[Velathria]

Yeah that sucks...mmmh.. yeah better to do it.

 

[gina236]

Left ovary pain! And a little ewcm I never feel my left side. I was starting to think it didn't ovulate or the pain just transfered to the right side. Lol. It's so hard to not pay attention to signs lol.

 

[Velathria]

I usually never noticed from which side it comes. But lately I've focused on which side the pain comes from. It's my left side too this time xD

 

[FertileFlower]

How can you ladies focus on cars and moving and other stuff? lol! I have one thought on my mind and that's it. haha

Well, broke down and bought a FRER . BFN
But, it was still only 9dpo and I read only 17% of pregnant women test positive that early. From my research it is likely I should get a positive on the 5th though if I implanted when I had the IB. Still a bummer though.

I still feel pregnant. Still got a lot of cramps and movement that I have not had. Also feel I have a cold today. This is the first month ttc'ing that I do not have sore boobs though. Very strange as they usually have gotten super sore and been a reason I thought I was pregnant. lol So mysterious sometimes how our bodies work and how much there still is to learn about them.

Velathria try to stress about O'ing and it might delay it. Stress can do that I've read. (I'm kidding of course, but I hope your opk keeps flashing for a few more days before turning solid)

Gina I hope this is the time for you!!! Baby Dust!

 

[FertileFlower]

Mininun1 how are you? Keep us updated, will you?
Lots of baby dust to you also!

 

[Velathria]

Awww... I get why you broke down xD I've done that alot.. maybe your sore breasts were from just pms and this time they arent because you are preggo I am so hoping you are.

Hahahha I am stressing about it. XD but sadly I know that my ovulation is really short... it usually blinks for 2 days or so and then I ovulate and it's over...

I bet you are going to have a positive on the 5th

Lots and lots of baby dust for all of you

 

[Velathria]

Well tested and there is the goddamn smiley face... I'm ovulating today and it's only the 4th I have 4 more days to go till I see my bf... but it's ok cause next month we will be able to do it right

 

[FertileFlower]

Velathria, at least you kinda knew it would happen. I bet next month is the lucky month for you!!

I took another dollar$ test today. Faintest of a shadow, maybe. I can't tell for sure.
Going to have to test with a FRER a bit later. I'm 11dpo today with ib at 6dpo so I think it should be showing by now if my calculations are correct!

I'm a bit frightened at taking the FRER. I am feeling hopeful with the faint ghost line on the $dollar test even if it is a strong possibility it's just by will I'm seeing it. A bright white negative FRER would be demoralizing.

This tww is torture!!!

 

[mininun1]

Hey ladies, sorry I've been so absent. Yesterday I was sooo sick all day, and I didn't leave the couch. It was better today, but morning sickness is definitely an unpredictable beast!

Gina your signs sound so great! When will you test before the party? Velathria, to answer your question from days ago I mainly write web content, blogs, newsletters and social media. For fun I do reviews and entertainment type stuff though. I love what I do, and I'm just glad that I get to work in the field that I went to school for.

Other than the really unpredictable morning sickness and nausea, I'm feeling pretty normal. There is a weird stretching feeling in my lower abdomen that I can feel when I stretch or lift my arms. Super weird but I guess it's my uterus expanding. Definitely ready for our first appointment this coming Saturday!!!

Baby dust to everyone!
