~*~ Hoping for Our Special Stocking Stuffers! ~*~ December Testing: 7 BFP's, 1 angel

[SweetPotatoPi]

Sending you cool, calm, and mellow vibes Sis .

I may be the only woman ever that AF came for ASAP after birth despite EBF around the clock and extended nursing my booby-babies 'til past their third birthdays. With both my sons AF came for me something like 4-6 weeks after lochia ceased . Weak!!!

I miss nursing DD too. When my cycles started back up at 4 months post birth, my milk supply dried up. Tried everything to keep it going, pumping, extra feedings, nothing worked. Stopped totally at 6 months.
Maybe this time (should this ever work) I will go to a lactation specialist.

I'm sorry oldermom, that had to be so heartbreaking for you guys .

Oh, and for those of you ladies who really want to go down the rabbit hole (like yours truly), there is a blood-on-hpt thread:

https://babyandbump.momtastic.com/pregnancy-tests/1648959-blood-hpt-positive-hmmm.html

My fingers are still sore.

I keep seeing posts about BOAS. Now to figure out for future testing just how far down this hole do I wanna go...

I've seen that thread - it's mad I even tried it - desperate times calls for desperate measures

One lady on their was a scientist (or something) and ended up with triplets - she was on clomid though

Careful ladies pricking your fingers, picking scabs/ flossing teeth can be become addictive

Ok, I'm getting to the point where Clomid is going to become part of my research for the new year. I O on my own but I guess that heffa is lazy now or something . Omg, I would LOVE twins or trips!

Just had a look at that thread....BOAS, the future of TTC, think I may just stick to POAS! Which remind me, this weekend get to start again

 

[AshNAmber]

Hi ladies can I join?? Going to test on the 28th AF due the 27th so going to try to hold out till then!! Sending baby dust to all

 

[charlie15]

Just reailised that told you ladies that I am 7dpo! Erm I meant on CD7

 

[AshNAmber]

Omg I just read 25pages on BOAS.. I'm only CD 5 but man that's tempting when it comes to that time.. Especially wanting to know before Christmas.. But I think I'll stick to POAS lol

 

[ERosePW]

I couldn't stop reading it either. It was like a fascinating novel I just couldn't put down. I don't much like blood, so maybe not an option for me, but I'm only cd6.... The closer to the end of my cycle I get, the more looney toons I become.

Hi AshnAmber. I got married this past October as well. Congratulations!! It's such an exciting time.

I lived through the doctor's visit. We made babies around 5, and then I quickly wiped down and then put on a pad and rolled out. The doctor laughed when I told her that I had intercourse at 5, and it was only 6. I told her that she's the boss, and she could tell me to do a headstand once a day, and I'd be all over it. Hubs did have a little performance anxiety once he remembered that the doctor was taking a sample, but we ended up working it out! hee hee.

I had the exam, and she took three slides-CM, sperm collection and something called vaginal pull. She didn't talk about the third slide, but she said my CM was very stretchy (I guess she and the PA were pulling it and measuring). HA!!HA!! It is CD12, and since I had that positive OPK, it should be stretchy and eggwhitey. HA! Oh yeah…so on the slide, the CM looked like a fern. To me, it really looked like an icy snowflake. You know how they look on your windshield when it's cold, and there is a small amount of precip in the air? Enough to freeze, but not enough to make an icy windshield. That's what it looked like. She said 'I see good ferning.'

She checked out the sperm and I got to look under the microscope. The first look was a low power and there were like 5 sperm on the slide. 4 were moving and there was one casualty. The casualty made me nervous because it was not moving at all. It looked like a dead little ant or strawberry seed. Then she turned to high power and those bad boys were swimming all over the place. She was pleased that they were moving within the CM. It was crazy!!

So, the bottom line is that everything is fine. I have two months more of trying with OPKs and then she will do that dye test (HSG she called it) to see if a tube is blocked. She doesn't think it will be, and she is surprised that my temp is still on 97.6. It better skyrocket tomorrow! I'm feeling really happy and good about everything. I think that solid smiley that keeps staring at me is also making me super happy. HA!!HA!! I'm so easy…

Now I'm almost at the tww. I will not be doing that BOAS. My next success story will actually be buying a pregnancy test. One day!!

Hi girls.
I have a question. Has any experienced bloating or a heavy feeling in the uterus and got a BFP? Since my iui I've felt bloated and heavy down there. Also (TMI) gasy. Totally not cute. Today is 5DPIUI. It's the meds right?

Hi Lovepink. I've had the heaviness and bloat and been both pg and not pg. Seriously, we need a signal of some sort for pregginess! Maybe our nipples could turn all glittery or something. Good grief, any clue would be just aces as all this guessing and waiting is .

Thank you for the reply SweetPotato!! Glittery would be awesome. Lol. I hate the tww.

TerriPeachy, that's all such really great news! Is it weird that the "dead little ant" casualty actually made me sad, lol? I was like poor little guy! I'm so glad everything actually looks good!

I could probably read through your old posts, but to save some time can I ask how long you guys have been TTC?

I hope this is your month. Maybe those guys will feel pressure to perform after being spied on today!

 

[Sis4Us]

That BOAS thread was very interesting it kept me from packing 1/2 the day!!

My nurse never called starting to feel like they are avoiding their Ignorance!!

Gotta take my Teenager to the Dr Tom. his chest hurts and him being a Major Premie he has issues w that so we need to verify he doesn't have Bronchitis !!!

Glad the Dr went well Terri!!!

 

[terripeachy]

ttcinseattle-We've been trying since early August. I'm 39, so I'm on the fast track. My doc was like 'Get moving, and come back in 4 months if it doesn't work' when I first told her that I wanted to start trying. I went back a few weeks ago, and she recommended the OPKs and to come back between CD10-12, and that's where we are today. I'm not stressed out just yet, I just want it to happen. I know there are others that have been trying for a long time, so I'm just taking it day by day and trying to enjoy the experience a little. I always say 'it could always be worse,' just to keep things in perspective.

Sis-Those doctors!! Sheesh. Now you can't even get on the CD5-9 program, right? This is terrible news.

 

[Sis4Us]

Nope CD5 was yesterday I'm CD6 today!!!

I don't think they would let me do it anyway I usually O early so I think that would no block the E I have since I have a lot of it!!

I've been taking Licorice Root on my own CD3-7 but I'm having some pains around my Ovaries so I'm not sure what's going on!!
Might call my nurse Tom and ask for a scan to see!!

 

[Lenka78]

Terri, I am glad your appointment went so well!!! So FX for you!

The TWW is a bastion of insanity ain't it? I do my best to the hell out of it .

Yay! So glad your appt went well terripeachy! I was sad for the casualty too . Alrighty then, go other guys, go!

Hope things aren't in the bronchitis realm for your son Sis *FX*. I had what seemed like a chest thing coming on yesterday and a little the day before now I'm feeling better .
