hlynn and me!!

[hlynn]

sounds good helen, is it an app on your phone is that what u mean?
and yes the 2ww does make me pretty crazy! im not too sure how i will be this time, im not too sure how much of a chance we have getting a bfp, and ive kind of stopped obsessing and everything since the drs called and told me DHs SA results, so im just hoping for the best but not expecting too much if that makes sense..all this stuff is getting so stressful!

 

[so_anxious]

Heather, I would could the day after the last positive as 1 dpo, right?? The same thing happened to me a cycle or two ago. Anyhow, at least you'll know sooner if your preggers!!

I have extremely sore boobs right now. They're also huge, I'm trying to cover them up at work cause they look stupid. Anyhow, I get the same thing every cycle, so hopefully they don't hurt too much.

Helen, what day would that be in you ovulate on Monday?

 

[hlynn]

yeah thats what i usually do, im counting yesterday as my first day of a real positive and still have yet to take another one today..so we will see what that one says lol im hoping that its negative but who knows i got another hour before i take one i try to wait 4 hours since i last peed when im taking them because i dont want to get a negative from diluted pee

you always get sore and big boobs? and your only 4dpo? hopefully its a good sign! i never get them so i would be freaking out if it was me lol

 

[cranberry987]

Yeah its an iphone app, quite useful for taking to drs appts etc. It says O-day is CD22, so lets see. If its going to happen it could be any time next week tbh as thats based on a 35 day cycle and I go to 40 sometimes.

I am starting to wonder if Ive ever ovulated in my life - last month I know I definately did and it was a very different TWW. Was super weepy, crampy, actually sick for 3 days (only in the evenings). Is this what ovulation maybe does to me?

Is there a specific number of hours one is supposed to hold pee in in order to have it strong enough? I often get up to pee around 4am, which is too early to POAS, but cant hold it til 7am ><

Off to a wedding this afternoon and back saturday, might be on here if things get too much. Its all going to be babies, pregnant ppl etc. Sigh. Just going to get drunk I think.

 

[hlynn]

i just do the opks in the morning because any other time in the day i cant hold in my pee for long enough, i think your supposed to for 4 hours and not drink anything the last 2 hours..and its hard to do that for me, so i usually wake up in the night to pee and then about 4-5 hours later when i wake up for good i do the opk..seems to work for me so far...i noticed i was never getting positives when i would take them in the middle of the day..so i was happy to find a time i could get real positives i dont ovulate on my own much either, this summer i think i did once the whole summer..because i could feel it and it was about 2 weeks before my period..i felt really crampy and like af was gonna show any minute..and it lasted 1 day then went away so im sure it was ovulation but that was the only time it happened until i started clomid again..its really depressing not ovulating! i got everything crossed for u that u ovulate this monday or maybe even sooner like i said i ovulated last cycle on cd 21 so i know how badly it sucks having to wait a looong time to even know when and IF u will ovulate keep doing opks and hopefully something will work out for u!

 

[cranberry987]

Wooooo! Cbfm shows me as ovulated today. Crap timing as I drank last night and wedding today. But. Woo! Clomid worked!

Do you think I should stay off the booze today? Wasn't goin to get wrecked, but a couple of glasses will be passedarouns this morning at least

 

[so_anxious]

woo hoo... I think it's up to you whether you want to drink or not. I don't think a couple of glasses will do anything at this stage.

Heather, was your OPK negative yet? I think I ovulate every month, at least my temp suggests that I do, so I'll have to make sure I take all of charts to my specialist. I'm really kind of excited to see the specialist and what they have planned for me. I'm also very excited that its just down the street from my work place.

I have a headache today and I have to go for a walk in the cold snow today for a meeting. Blah!! I should totally be bad and have a hamburger for lunch. I have a craving for it. Thank the Lord it's Friday.

 

[hlynn]

yes, my opk was negative yesterday so im assuming i ovulated yesterday and im 1dpo today..thats what im thinking because yesterday i was really crampy and for the past 3 days (since i got my first veerrry close to positive opk) ive been so sick i actually got sick the other day too..and i had tons of ewcm yesterday so im guessing i ovulated yesterday..we bd the day before but not yesterday..i didnt want to becuase of his SA results ive been very strict on every other day..so im hoping the days leading up to ovulation were enough..and if not oh well ill be referred to an RE so i guess it will be a good thing either way

 

[cranberry987]

Morning
the wedding went well but I ended up drinking a lot more than a couple of glasses. I probably had about 15 units in the end. Oh well bought some opk's which showed faint lines(both) but equal. Then faint lh line. Then just now with fmu stronger but not equal fmu. So either I haven't quite surged orIm coming down now. Will keep testing

Back on the wagon today I think tho will post a pic of me in dress. Was quite nice having such a fuss made over us being the bridesmaids and all.

I think it is a good idea not to bd too much. The spermies can live up there for a bit so every other day should be fine, saying that tho, we did it three times yday. Was quite fun sneaking off during the day hehe. Fun sex while ttc, quite a novel idea!

 

[so_anxious]

Helen, I can't believe you BD'd three times in a day. That is so insane, but I bet you had soooo much fun.

When I first met my hubby we could BD twice a day, but now I can barely get him to do it every day during my lh surge! I guess my old age is catching up with me!

Heather, I'm so glad that you ovualted on your own again and this time you only had a +OPK for two days, right? I think most doctors tell you to BD every other day anyhow, so I think you have a pretty good chance of getting your BFP for sure this month. Yippee!!

 

[cranberry987]

Hehe 3 times is far from normal for us. We've been together for 16 Yrs (since 15) and things had stagnated a bit if I'm honest. Since Xmas RBI the ttc has actually been fun! A year of "oh we have to do it again" to "nooo we can't do it, think of your sperm count". We usually just go with it now tho as the sa was normal I reckon we can afford to have it a bit low for a few attempts

Only 4 days to go now before our first test! How exciting. Good that we all seemed to ov this month

I still have t had a temp peak- I do sleep with a desk fan on me tho so could that be cooling me down? I have had sharp pains Friday and I'm sure that temping isnt foolproof- it's so sensitive so easy to knock it out of wack

Will you be able to last 4 more days or will you test early? I'm testing on march 9th and no earlier. Don't care however many fake preg symptoms I get I will be strong!

 

[hlynn]

Monique- yea i think i had 2 days of positive opks..the first day was iffy..kinda looked positive but maybe not then the second day was positive for sure..and then they went negative..and it was very early for me so thats good..but my 2WW isnt going so great so far..ive been so nauseous i can barely eat, i tried to have a couple drinks last night and couldnt even do that, and my belly is bloated and really sore like if i suck in or press on it.. i just wish i could eat and feel a little better..im not sure what it is because i KNOW that its way too early to mean anything
helen- i dont test early lol i havent tested early since november..i havent really tested at all since then but i do have to take tests before i start the clomid but im always on my period so i dont even count that..i just do it cuz the dr makes me lol

 

[cranberry987]

Well seems like your ticker is right #2 gas/flatulence experienced by 7.4%

Try exercising gently, can wake your gut up. Also make sure that what you do eat is healthy stuff, fruit etc.

Up tonight so my temp is going to be all over the place, whatever the result itll either be proof of ovulation or rubbished because I was up in the night, in my mind at least ><

 

[cranberry987]

Well. Temp was up, as I said this is now giving me proof that I ovulated. What do you think of my chart?

 

[hlynn]

im deff not good at reading charts since ive never even had one lol, but from looking at it i would say maybe u ovulated on cd18? since on cd19 ur temp went up and has stayed up since..im no expert though

 

[so_anxious]

Hey Ladies,

So, Helen I agree with Heather I think you ovulated on CD 18, but I bet you that FF tells you that you ovulated on CD 20. FF can be so weird sometimes.

Heather, you seem to be getting really sick lately around ovulation. That's crazy. I hope it's because you're knocked up!!

So, I'm 8 dpo today and I feel blah. I don't feel like I'm pregnant and I have a feeling I'm not, but I will do a test on Saturday morning cause my nephews birthday party is on Saturday and if I'm not pregnant, I think I'll actually drink some alcohol. My sister works for a wine company, so gets free wine. She actually provided all the wine for my wedding for free and some of that stuff was expensive.

Anyhow, I have had the worse case of heartburn for the last few days now. It's almost unbearable, and no I don't think it's a symptom, I think I've just been eating really badly.

Man, I wish Saturday would just come!!

 

[hlynn]

oh man your waiting until saturday lol that seems like so far away but ur already 8dpo and that seems like a lot! im excited for u to test..the heartburn sounds like a good sign!
yes i have been really sick..its so annoying though! i went out to eat with my family yesterday and i love this restaurant and then i couldnt even eat barely anything! ugh i was so mad! i wont be mad if it means im pregnant, but if im not ill be pretty mad because its torture!

 

[cranberry987]

Hi girls. Goes it going?

Ff did as you said and shows cd20 as o-day. I think it was cd19 tho tbh. Temps are looking good and my nipples are sore hehe! Never had that before, can hardly turn over in bed.

One more week Til I test. Woo

 

[hlynn]

im getting the sensitive nipples too..its not my whole boob just the nipples they are kinda tingly..ive never had this before but im pretty sure its nothing because today i started getting increased cm and thats exactly what happened last month at 4 dpo so im sure im out already..at only 4dpo how sad is that! ugh..well i guess the good thing is i can go to an RE..i just hate the 2WW now..it used to be so exciting and i couldnt wait to ovulate and now i just hate it, i dont even care to know anymore because it feels like all our efforts are a waste, sorry to be a downer today ladies, i just know im out and it really has me feeling down! but i am very happy for u helen that u ovulated and monique i still think ur gonna get ur bfp this month..especially with that heartburn

 

[so_anxious]

Hello Ladies,

Gosh, you both have sensitive nipples, that sounds good to me. Definitely sounds like a BFP is in the near future.

Heather my dear, I feel the same way you do. I don't think I'm preggers at all, I pretty much feel like AF is going to definitely show her ugly face on Saturday. I usually keep a close watch of my temp and it looks like it's going to drop soon, which means AF is going to show up. It sucks the big one, but I'm thrilled that I'm going to my specialist next Thursday, so I can't be too angry!!

Hey Helen, your chart doesn't have crosshairs on it, is that because Tuesday's date isn't in yet?

Man, I seriously wanted to get knocked up before my trip to Miami on April 4th, otherwise AF is going to be travelling with me. Blah!
