January testers unite! 88 Testers and Counting!

[babylights]

Thanks so much for that, I could use all the hope I can get!

I recently upped my hormone creams because I read that stress can inhibit them, I just hope I'm not getting a false rise in BBT. Honestly, women should really get some kind of amazing treat every month we TTC and don't get a BFP. Like a calorie-less chocolate cake, at least.

 

[Cppeace]

lol babylights that should be some kinda law for sure
I doubt it's a false rise but you should know with next two temps. You were stressed so prolly just delayed it a week- it happens pretty often.

 

[babylights]

I really hope so! Looking at my chart, I could've O'd on Sunday, if FF counts a .2-ish degree rise as one of three needed for crosshairs!

Does everyone have their excuse for not drinking on NYE ready?? I'm just gonna blame my cold. DH and I will be in Vegas for about 5 days after Christmas, boy do I wish I could drink. Or rather - I wish I knew that I'm not drinking because I will be baking a baby for.sure.

 

[Cppeace]

From looking at your chart I'd say todays temp is the most likely for positive ovulation.

Lol I don't drink so I don't need an excuse.Me and my guy are boring homebodies.

 

[babylights]

Oh, you think I ovulated today? I am having pretty strong ovulation pains today. Although, my temp for today is definitely in post-O territory for me.

 

[Cppeace]

No I would say you ovulated yesterday and that is why the temp shot up today.

 

[babylights]

Okay, gotcha. That makes more sense

 

[babylights]

Cppeace, you're so knowledgeable. How long have you been TTC?

 

[Cppeace]

On and off for about 20 months. (About 15 months of actually ttc, 3 months of a limbo/ pregnancy and 2 months of ntnp) My guy has low sex drive so we really don't have sex often enough to conceive. We are adding home insemination to the routine now to see if that does the trick for us I am a research junkie so I research anything that interests me and that is a lot of stuff lol

 

[babylights]

Wow I didn't know you could actually inseminate at home! My DH was joking that we should just do that because I've gotten a little no nonsense about TTC BD lol

I think I read about your limbo in another thread - you poor thing!!

 

[Cppeace]

Yeah the 3 month limbo was terrible and the not knowing was worse than the actual miscarriage. Yeah Home insemination is easy and has about the same chances as sex. Basically my guy does his thing in a clean plastic container and I use a syringe to inseminate into my vagina. Most have great success with it. It's way less stressful on my guy and hopefully works.

 

[WishnandHopn]

Cppeace I did some research into home insemination when I thought we might not be able to BD this month. Some have had success using a soft cup instead of a syringe, or they use the syringe and then a soft cup to keep it all in there. I hope it works for you.

Can you change my test date to Jan 4? I had a positive OPK this morning and O pain this evening, so I'm counting tomorrow as my O day. I might test early on Dec 31...if it's BFN I won't feel bad about having a few drinks. My friends would definitely know something was up with me if I didn't drink at all on NYE!

 

[Cppeace]

Yeah I have researched the whole soft cup option- if after 3 months of just syringe doesn't work then I will look into the soft cup but honestly think I will have a hard time getting it in. I am very tight
Will do on the date change

Have any of you ladies tried acupuncture or know anyone that has seen a positive result from getting it?
I've read a few articles on it and some people swear by it so thinking its worth a go?

 

[KylasBaby]

Ideally the syringe and cup will both be sterile. If not then sanitized EXTREMELY well with no soap or water residue as both kill sperm. Make sure to suck them up into the syringe slowly and to push them outbalowly as to not damage them.

 

[Amandasb84]

[MKaykes]

My dad's girlfriend used to run an acupuncture clinic (retired now), I haven't tried it yet but I'm thinking about it. I just asked her about it last weekend, if it really worked and she believes it does. Mostly relaxes things and improves blood flow.

 

[London Kiwi]

MKaykes I have read alot about blood flow etc. There is no harm in giving it a go right. But its a pricey habit to have to keep up if it doesnt work. With the holiday season coming up it was hard to get an appointment but ive managed to get one early Jan so i'll try it out and see what happens.

I hope you get your BFP on the 2nd

So, Gals I apparently just ovulated my earliest ever at cd 14. That's simply crazy and will put my cycle ending on the 1st or 2nd so I will be testing on the 1st...

I added the two newest.

Thanks for the advice Kylasbaby. It is how we did it the two times we had a chance to lol...I thought we'd have a few more days lol

 

[London Kiwi]

Hopefully a NY BFP for you Cppeace
