first cycle actively trying (June 2015)

[ttcdfw]

Ok so I committed POAS foul....I cracked open a CB digi after it said "not pregnant". To be fair though, 2 days ago there was only one line when I cracked it open lol. So I went and got FRER today....will test once 3-4 hours have passed (holding my pee)! Its been 2 now.

Thanks for the encouragement, ladies! I'm definitely trying to stay positive, having a relaxing weekend and trying not to dwell on it too much. As far as the alcohol, I don't really drink much anyway, so I wouldn't be missing much cutting it out completely. However, I did have a margarita last night. I don't want to eliminate it entirely until I get that BFP, although it probably wouldn't hurt.

Gina that sounds awful about the swelling! I hope it goes down soon and you can start eating regular foods again.

So I broke down and tested, six days before AF is due. It was BFN, not even a small line Maybe it's too early, still holding out hope for this month.

Yes mininun it is very early... but i understand completely the POAS addiction
CD16 for me and just ordered the test online, I think I will hide them or something for at least 10 days....Am already nervous and TWW just started for me.
please BFP come to us soon!

Yes hide them lol! The temptation is way too great, and of course now I'm out of tests. Not buying any more until AF is late (fingers crossed she doesn't show up at all - for either of us!)

I wanted to test this morning at 10dpo but totally forgot until I was already peeing haha. Maybe tomorrow. Some women don't get a positive test until a week after AF is due. So your definitely not out yet! FX for everyone!

Really torn. I have an appointment thursday with the oral surgeon to go over getting my wisdom teeth out. But I read that if you are pregnant you can't do it until at least the second trimester. I was so sure it would happen this month and timing wise it's perfect (get to find out the gender around christmas!) (be due beginning of april) it just worked. But if I have to go months without eating solid food that's not good either. I haven't been able to take my prenatal vitamins in a week because they are gummy. I just want it to happen so bad but it's probably better if it doesnt! So don't know what to root for lol.

That's a tough one, gina!! But, if you are in continuous pain from your teeth, and unable to eat any of the food that you will probably be craving, you will be miserable and not able to enjoy the pregnancy. Tooth pain really is the absolute worst.

That's true. I'm just emotionally torn. But what's done is done. I said to my husband we will have to wait and see, nothing we can do at this point and his response is "Lol this is true.. can't really unfuck you haha" haha such a classy guy -_-

Men put things so tactfully sometimes lol.

Hey girls,
I had to take a break for a few days...I was driving myself insane! I got a VERY faint on a FRER (posted pics in the thread I created in the testing area) but the next day, nothing and each day since, nothing - all so I think it was just a fluke. I am 2 days away from AF being due (30 day cycle usually) and no signs of it coming - cx still closed tight but cx is hard...medium position. I read that if you are pregnant, it will be soft and silky because it's engorged with blood. So IDK but I'm basically resigning myself to a this month and it is depressing!

Like Gina said, gender would've been Christmas time, etc - I was excited at the possibility and we timed things fairly reasonably - BD *ON* the day of my smiley face for O and 2 days before that, too. The only thing we could have done was BD 2 days later or a day later or whatever - but....it just wasn't in the cards for us.

Sorry to be a Debbie Downer - I literally just refused to let myself get on this site because everyone keeps getting BFP on like 6dpo and stuff. I was wasting a TON of money on POAS addiction and I just can't keep it up. It's expensive and heartbreaking.

Hope y'all are doing ok!

 

[gina236]

So sorry to hear that! I know what you mean. But at least AF hasn't showed yet! I'm on another thread and everyone is getting BFP on 10dpo. Made me test early and of course BFN. I don't think it happened for us this month either. We decided if it didn't we are taking a few months off. next month O will be around the time I get my teeth pulled so I don't think i will be up for it and September, I would be implanting while competing in a tough mudder (not a good thing for implantation) so we will pick back up in October.

The fact you think you got a BFP could mean it was chemical. That happens alot when women test early. So maybe you did time everything right but it just wasn't meant to happen. Just do the same thing next month and you will be golden. and who knows, maybe AF won't show at all.

Oh wow that's a tough call, but I agree, it may be best to wait.
If no BFP this month we are waiting as well. DH wants us to 'just enjoy' our time together and not worry about timing BD all the time....
So he'd like to wait until DECEMBER - uh no!
But I would like to NTNP and just go with the flow til September or October because the timing would be better for delivery with my school schedule. Selfishmuch? LOL

Anyway, what will be will be - I'm just trying not to drive myself too crazy in the meantime!

 

[gina236]

It is very stressful actively trying. Just letting it happen on its own is usually the best way. He may say December now but he could change his mind. I time out everything so i completely understand you wanting to deliver around your work schedule. I dont think its selfish. I check every month when i would be telling my family, the rest of the world, find out the gender and due date. Haha
I wish I could just let nature take it's course but I have tracked my cycle for so long (that being our only form of birth control) that it's hard to just not pay attention. Not to mention DH and I don't have the highest sex drive. Before we were trying we would find ourself only DTD once a month. Trying has brought us closer together. I just hope it doesn't take too much longer. Such bad baby fever!

 

[ttcdfw]

Oh I feel you 100%. Plus I was somewhat concerned about being so close to the cutoff with our cruise line for pregnancy. They only allow you to travel up to 24 weeks and when we were going to go I think I would have been 22-23 if pregnant this cycle, lol.

Maybe I'll get pregnant over our 2nd honeymoon? That'd be nice - albeit - late...since it's in November!

DH has a lower drive than me, usually I'm the one that initiates and when I don't (my hormones have been off prior to being dx with hypothyroid) we will go weeks at a time without. Kinda makes me sad but then I realize - it's just his drive, it isn't personal lol!!

So how are you feeling? Anymore pain? When I had my wisdom teeth out, they hadn't cracked or gotten infected but they did put me under. It took about 2 weeks to fully heal up. The dry sockets were terrible but they would 'pack' them for me every other day which made it manageable. I ate rice from about day 2 on - and then slowly added in other softish foods.

 

[gina236]

I'm feeling okay. Not in much pain anymore but my gums are still swollen so I can't eat anything other than liquids. Only good thing is I've lost 5 lbs haha. I go for a consultation With the oral surgeon tomorrow.

see now you won't have to worry about being too far along lol. I was worried about that too doing a tough mudder. I would be about 12 weeks and they are really rough on your body. Maybe it's the world's way of making the decision for us.

November is always when I wanted to get pregnant when I would think about it years ago. I always wanted an August baby. I am a February baby and hated having my birthday parties when it was snowing. I always wished it was during summer. Haha.
