first cycle actively trying (June 2015)

[wifeybby]

Thank you so much, sweetie.

Your business plan sounds great! I hope it soars I hope you can keep or even double your income and be a SAHM! That was dream too, but for now I'm a school nurse so I feel like it's the next best thing. At least I'll have the same schedule as the babes (when they get that age). I'm one of the crazies that wants a SAHD. I go so back and forth though on who I want to stay home lol can't we both? Who needs a job. JK of course. We blew our credit like typical college kids do so we're spending our late 20's paying off credit cards and student loans. We're hoping by this time next year to finance a home. Right now we're in a rent to own but its really too small, we'll end up opting out I'm sure. Or buying and adding, I'm quite indecisive on that too. I'm a wishy-washy Sagittarius 100% lol

I've done a LOT of testing tho past month, my RE has been a dream come true thus far. I'm really praying that I'm missing O and it actually happens (at least sometimes), and that I'll be responsive to Clomid or Femara. You're dead on with the "don't stand a chance". so with what's been going on with you, I hope you find a Dr/PCP/RE you love and is fast paced. My RE wants answers and I love it. Hopefully there's a simple answer for you. It will absolutely happen for you I'm sure

Checking in ladies: still dealing with AF and waiting to O.

gina: good idea on the biz! i'm starting some stuff from home for extra money to prepare to be home on maternity leave!

wifey: hope you figure your cycle out soon. i know how the "not knowing" feels- i've never been pregnant either.

Thank you wifey! Your so sweet! My DH and I joke that if my business really takes off neither of us would work haha. But I know that he would go crazy not working. He has 2 jobs right now. But it would be nice to just do what you want for work without worrying about how much it makes.

I did the opposite with my credit. I knew I wanted to own so I worked on building my credit like crazy until I bought a house. Then I maxed out all my credit cards filling the house haha. I've been paying them off since. Hopefully you can either buy the house your in or another one. It's such a big decision I'd be wishy washy too haha.

That is great that your RE is so determined. Thats exactly what you want in a RE! Shouldn't be long before you figure it out and know what to do to fix the problem!

Rex I'm in the same boat. Although AF seems to have stopped. 2 days? That's short even for me. I wore a tampon for 7 hours today, took it out, which hurt a bit and there was nothing on it. And then I spotted. I think because it was so dry it got stuck to my cervix or something so when I pulled it out it was actually my cervix bleeding. But since then, nothing. I have short periods sometimes but usually 3-4 days and then a few days of spotting. Never 2 days then done. I'm a little confused.

Hi RexMom! The "not knowing" feeling started to really get to me this morning.. Finished up all the initial testing for my RE, and the consult to review all the results is Tuesday. So at first I was excited, then freaked myself out about all the bad possibilities too. Had to make a cup of coffee and come here lol these boards are therapeutic, I swear!

Gina, you did things SO right lol since I got into this credit mess, it actually made me very determined to get my money straight before a LO arrived and be able to set my babies up with either college money or cash savings. Definitely learning from that! lol DH can't decide if he'd rather move or just add on to this house. We love the location but it's only two bedrooms. And I've always wanted 4+ children. Something will have to give someday.

Hope you have a good weekend girls. I'm off work today and Monday, so its bound to be a long weekend of what-if's in my head. Hopefully I can stay distracted with friends, dh and housework.

Hi ladies. I lurk occasionally but haven't posted cause not sure what to say.
Gina wanted to give you a shout out and encouragement. I have been with my Dh for 11.5 years with no bc for 5 or 6 years and it still took 9 months of ttc before I got preggers. I may have had a cp in august but never had a positive test just an af that was super long. As for the endo.... my cousin had that. I think they did something like a d&c to clear her out and she then was able to get preggers so don't feel like that will count you out as its a pretty common thing now.
Happy to answer questions and hoping 2016 brings you all bfps

WoW a lot happened since the last time I checked. Hello to the new and also to the returnees hahaha...

Gina maybe fate is just waiting till you guys are actually prepared for a LO. I keep telling myself that maybe it's just taking this long because we haven't gotten everything squared away yet. But thayou should be soon so got my fingers crossed.
And the "AF" that you had does sound weird but sadly period's can be weird sometimes... but maybe it still wasn't actually one. Just do a test just in case try a cheapie
My AF was 6 days like usual and nothing special. But I'm coming up on my ovulation. Doing opks everyday. Just hope this month is it. Still taking maca root and EPO.
Wifeybby: god that sucks not knowing. But at least you have an RE who seems to be trying anything. Got my fingers crossed that you ovulate this month. Not getting pregnant sucks but not even having a chance to is just unfair. So I hope you get that chance this month
Lots of baby dust for you


Rex: hope your AF is over and you are like me on the way to ovulating. good luck to you this month. is your opks and temping going well?

Cutestuff: thanks for the supporting words and congrats on your bfp hope you have a healthy pergnancy.

Let's hope to see a bfp in febuary

 

[gina236]

Guys!! So I was only going to take a cheapie but broke down and took a frer too. There is a line!! Omg it's light but not hard to see. My hubby saw it right away. I'll try attaching a picture. I'm so scared because my temp hasn't gone back up since it went down. On my way to the hospital to get blood drawn right now. I'm shaking. I'm so scared I'm going to miscarry. Ahhh.

 

[gina236]

...

 

[Velathria]

Omg!!!! Yes yes!!! Oh im so excited!!! Pls let it be a a sticky bean!!! *prays to every god* *fingers crossed tightly*

 

[gina236]

I'm so scared because of my temp. Really hope everything is okay. The place closes in an hour so I probably won't get results until monday or Tuesday if they celebrate the holiday monday. But at least I'll get to talk to a doctor.

 

[lesondemavie]

I see the line Gina! Does it have color in person? Did you try a digital? Ahhh I hope this is it!

Here is what mine looked like at first and now it's darker than control:



Sending so much love and hope your way

 

[gina236]

It's definitely pink in person. So the hospital said they won't do it without an obgyn order and sent me to planned Parenthood but they aren't open so idk what to do. I don't know if i should start taking my progesterone cream to raise my temp. Really wanted to talk to a doctor about it. I would be 4+6 today so the fact the line isn't darker concerns me. But if I was doubling every 48 hrs and started at 1 I would only be at 48 today. I don't even know what to think. I will be taking a digital with my smu because I threw out my fmu after dipping the test thinking no way it would be positive.

 

[lesondemavie]

Also don't get stuck on that 48 hour stat. We're all different. I've read that hcg doubles every 2-3 days. My line didn't get darker again until 3 days after my BFP.

 

[wifeybby]

Yay Gina!! So excited for you - hang on over there!! be sticky!! I say go digital too! Eeee!

@leson that is such a cute BFP photo. I love it. So happy for you!

 

[Velathria]

Omg!!! Can't wait. You must keep us informed and I guess keep testing to make sure. But that's definitely a line no guessing or anything. It's there

 

[Velathria]

Maybe you implanted late.

 

[Velathria]

Omg leson yours looks like ginas... so that's promising

 

[gina236]

I'm hoping I implanted later than I thought. Couldn't get in to see a doctor so I have to wait. Took the digital and it said no so definitely not celebrating yet. I think I will start taking progesterone cream again because of my temps. It can't hurt anything. I just wish I could have gotten blood drawn first to know if i needed it. I hate how my chart looks. That's the best line I've ever gotten and the farthest along I've ever been so really hoping it sticks!

 

[lesondemavie]

Ah sorry to hear the digital wasn't much help Gina. Hoping for the best for you!

 

[wifeybby]

Oh Gina, I have my everything's crossed for you!! Ahh!! Please please stick!
