So I mentioned before that my right boob has been hurting and not my left, well today my right boob hurts even more than before, still no pain in left boob... Kind weird...

My boobs hurt so bad right now and I'm on CD 10 and they've hurt for a couple weeks now. No reason. I'm not pregnant. So who knows?

Hey ladies,

Thought id say a hello, I'm still reading everyone's posts I'm so happy for Hannah and her

AF just ended today. I'm having a hard time deciding on the next cycle. Last cycles efforts proved unsuccessful and ended me with a UTI that has come and gone twice (I'm back on antibiotics and will most likely have to continue 1x a day while TTC to prevent reoccurrence FX). And I think it'll end in a YI too.

Makes me apprehensive to worry if next month I'll do this all over again. Going through all the "ness" that is BD, tracking CM, TWW and then all the BFNs plus the possibility of a UTI and a YI. It's a lot. I want to, hubby wants to it's just hard to get back on the horse ya know? It's only going to be cycle 3, so it's not like a huge effort has been put in so I certainly don't want to give up so soon. It's just well, shitty.
The UTI really blows. I don't get them if I get up right after BD and use the washroom but that's counterproductive for TTC. So then I think well I'll just save all the BD for when I'm ovulating and use the ol get up and go method any other times to limit my possibility but then I'm left thinking we didn't put enough effort in. Bah. It should be fun, romantic spontaneously awesome. Not worrisome for infections and guilt over not putting 110% effort in, even worse if another BFN happens.

I really just needed to vent, I'm sorry. Thanks to anyone who listened. I can't wait to join you ladies with testing and line spotting and tweaking etc. It makes something sad and stressful (when unsuccessful) alittle more fun.
Xox Meagan

So I took a test today after holding it for quite some time and there came up a line super fast but then faded as I let it sit. Hmm I don't know what to think?

so confused.

 

[LeahLou]

That's just the dye running through the test.

Ok! Opks!! Cd 11! Top is new batch of wondfos, wondfo opk and clinical guard opk to compare. How can the wondfo opk be so much darker than the CG?? So weird! All with FMU.
I know nothing's positive and no the pregnancy test and opk didn't touch.

Looks like it'll be positive in a couple days!

 

[HannahTTC]

LeaLou - Are you BDing that looks like maybe tomorrow you may ovulate. Yeah clinical gaurd sucks even their HPTs.

Meg - Are you charting as well? I love it it helps determine ovulation also can show pregnancy. I hope you and the rest the best this month for that xmas BFP.

 

[Ashley8806]

I agree with clinical guard sucking - I have their hpts and have gotten positives on frer and a digi but still nothing on them. I would get to BD'ing!

 

[lizlovelust]

12DPO, BFN, I'm pretty sure it's safe to say I'm out yet Again

 

[MeaganMackenz]

Hannah, no I am not charting. I dont even know what that means- I assume temp checking? I dont get up in the AM consistently enough to temp. I just go off what my iPeriod app says is my fertile window and what my CM is like. Im reasonably good at noticing when it changes. :/

Meagan. Have you considered using soft cups? You insert them sort of like a tampon and it holds all the semen up near your cervix. If you slipped one in after BD then you could get up to pee without worrying about the sperm not making it up where they need to be. The soft cups look a little intimidating but I have found them easy to use.

Oh my goodness lol. I have not considered using them, I dont use tampons I cant stand them. So that doesnt sound like something I would want to use. I managed to somehow do this for two daughters I should be able to do it again lol. But thanks for your suggestion my dear, I appreciate it.

I was actually just looking at OP tests.. sadly I just cant get myself to spend the money. Hubby missed a week of work due to weather so I dont have the funds this cycle. Ill just have to wing it

 

[lizlovelust]

I feel like it'll never happen for me

 

[lorojovanos]

Have you done Clomid again Liz? Why are you guys just NTNP after all you went through last year to get the help from your Doctor?

 

[lizlovelust]

Haven't tried cloud again no, OH wants to do the NTNP, he thinks it'll just happen. but I think he has something wrong with his spermies.

 

[LeahLou]

I'm sorry Liz
I think everyone has that feeling while TTC.. It's really frustrating when it should be fun!

My opks are all over the place! So frustrating! I guess we'll just bd every other day!

 

[slg76]

sorry you are frustrated Liz. As much work/stress as it is to really try I feel like in the end it's better because you are more likely to succeed in less time. Unless you really feel like you will be under less stress while NTNP. I think I would still think about it all the time

 

[lizlovelust]

Sig it's been two and a half years and nothing, not a short time at all.
