Getting Fit Before Baby

[ireadyermind]

Fern - lol! I don't think it's overkill if you waited til 10dpo to test!

I did test last night, and the line was already fairly faint, all things considered.

I'm waiting til tomorrow morning to test again, since it takes 28hrs for the levels to drop by half. From there, who knows?

I hope I'm one of those lucky gals that gets a BFP on like 10dpo! That'd be amazing. ^^

Fx you do get an early bfp! I'm always so jealous of those ladies.

So.. I think I ovulated yesterday. I randomly took an opk on Sunday (cd14) because of how I was feeling and it was nearly positive. But I didn't think anymore of it. Then my sex drive was through the roof Sun/Monday. And this morning I woke up feverish with sore bbs. Which following previous cycles are all my typical o signs. I'm not sure about cm as I wasn't checking. I did take my temp this morning to see and it was in my typical post-o range as well.

So I'm fairly certian I did o yesterday on cd 15. Which would be just amazing since it's the earliest I've o'd since my chemical in May!

I'm gonna try not to go crazy with testing though. I don't want to be optimistic as the last few cycles have been crushing.

Krissie - Nice, early O is a good sign that your hormones are getting back in line and doing their jobs. Good luck!

 

[Fern81]

Good luck for both you ladies in the tww! Irym- please post some line porn if you are indeed testing out the trigger .

Sooo I started exercising yesterday, decided to start out easy and build up the intensity. I'm still tired from sleep deprivation and recovery. But it felt good to do something!

Anyone have any diet/exercise plans for the week?

 

[ireadyermind]

Fern - Well since you asked!

I've attached the tests I've done so far. Is it just me, or does today's test look darker than yesterday's? My FMU was more dilute this morning too. I don't know what to think!


As for exercise... No, no plans here. These supplements are making me SO tired that lately it's all I can do to stay awake past dinner. And that's WITH a nap at midday (thank goodness I work from home and can do that!).

They told me fatigue and moodiness were side effects of all these things, but man, I feel like it's the PMS from hell. lol


I'm just trying not to pig out on junk food. And hey, at least it's GOOD sleep I'm getting! Normally I'm such a light sleeper, I wake up 4+ times a night and never feel quite rested.

Iread, today's test does look a little darker, but the control line also looks darker than yesterday's, so I don't think it means anything. I noticed that with wondfos just recently (since I'm a poas-aholic and am still testing to see my lines darken).

I suppose tomorrow's test will tell!

I'm only 5dpIUI so it's still super early. I think I O'd the first follicle on Feb 17th, and the second on Feb 18th in the wee hours of the morning, so I'm starting my count from Feb 17th, and I told myself I wouldn't count any test results as positive until 10dpIUI, to give the trigger plenty of time to leave my system.

But the waiting is killing me!

 

[Fern81]

Irym- Hopefully there is a morula in there, turning into a blastocyst right about now, getting ready to implant! I agree with drjo, looks like the trigger still has to start leaving. I'm going to be stalking your tests every day so exciting!

 

[Fern81]

Yeah progesterone is a monster. And it makes symptom spotting impossible boooo!

 

[swimmyj1]

Sorry haven't been on in a bit. I've been working a ton! So many sick people
Irym - fingers are soooo crossed! I'm going to be stalking for good news. I don't put too much stock in trending lines. I did that and it drove me crazy! Did you test again today? (Picture junky lol)

My diet has been horrible. DH keeps bringing home cupcakes from my favorite cupcake store omg they are amazing! And I know that he is trying to make me feel better but I keep telling him food treats aren't the answer. I need to have resistance to not eat them lol or 3.

 

[ireadyermind]

Thanks gals.

Today's test is so faint you can barely see it, so of course it's even more difficult to see in a photo. That means tomorrow's should be negative, and then I can test on 10dpiui. But that seems like it's an eternity away!

I'm just trying to keep myself occupied. Got a crafting project done yesterday and starting up a new one today, in addition to working on some paid art commissions and some side art projects as well.

I still find myself obsessing, though.


Last night when inserting the progesterone suppository, there was SO MUCH lotiony CM, I almost couldn't believe it. I have never ever made that much on my own in the TWW before, and it wasn't suppository residue either. I guess these little things are doing their job!

Line updates!

Yesterday's and today's. I can see them both clearly on the strip when wet, but my camera just isn't picking them up that well.

To make matters worse, I can see the lines when I look at the pics on my phone screen, but when I look at them on my PC screen they're gone.

Can you gals see anything?

I'm wondering if today's faint line is something besides the trigger, like an evap? The trigger was 8 days ago, and the 2500 dose. It's the same kind of faint line I got last month, which never progressed to anything. So if you gals would count THIS as a line, then I'd have to count last month as another CP, since last time's was the same... But who even knows! lol

It's all so maddening!

 

[krissie328]

I can see both lines. I've seen weird lines on those in the past that I thought for sure would lead to a bfp. But they never did.

 

[krissie328]

This tww wait is killing me. I was trying not to focus on it and it was easy when I was at work. But I got a snow day today so not much to do but think. Even playing with ds hasn't helped put my mind at ease.

I am trying to do more things like walk/stand to promote good blood flow and hopefully a good lining just incase.

 

[ireadyermind]

Krissie - I know how you feel! It's been torture for me too. Shame we can't all just fast forward through the TWW with a remote control, right?



AFM - Negative HPT this morning. Now the real testing can begin! I'll probably wait til 10dpiui, which is Monday or Tuesday, depending which IUI we base that off of.

 

[krissie328]

Yep, I would definitely like to fast forward a week. My official test date is next Sunday.

I'm thinking of getting started on my bil quilt since his wedding is in June. I don't want to rush it at the last second and not get the finish right. And I need three distraction.

 

[Fern81]

Irym- fx!!!!

Krissie- I would love to see a pic of the quilt when you are done. I adore quilts!

 

[krissie328]

I'll do that! I've made it my goal to do at least 3 quilts this year, but I'm hoping to get 5 done. The 1 for June and 4 for Christmas.

 

[ireadyermind]

Fern - Thanks!

Krissie - I wish I knew how to quilt well enough to make decent blankets. I tried a small quilted placemat project just before thanksgiving. It turned out okay, but not great. Somehow all of my squares ended up different sizes, even when I measured out a 4'' x 4'' cardboard square to use for tracing. I don't even know how I managed it!

My craft of choice is crochet.

I just made the most adorable set of tiny crochet garden gnomes for a friend who's obsessed with gnomes. They're scheduled to reach her on Wednesday for her birthday. I hope she likes them as much as I did. Haha

 

[krissie328]

IRYM- I seem to have the same problem with squares. Even when I am really careful with my seams and measuring/cutting. I often use a disappearing nine square pattern. That way even if they are off it isn't noticeable.

I have some very basic crochet skills. I have a friend that is really good so she has taught me a few new things. Some day I would like to learn how to make more advanced creatures.
