Finally sitting down to catch up!! Weekends are spent with the hubby and kiddos so have to try and sneak time in when I can! Kids are eating lunch now so starting to go through the 11 pages (!) lol Love being in a chatty group!!
@tdog LOVE the progression!! Definitely not upsetting to see. I pray that everyone sees those same beautiful lines and am so so happy to celebrate everyone as they get them!
@Deethehippy if you need a break, totally understand and support that decision to take care of yourself. but please don't leave because of "not belonging." Your feelings month to month are as valid as anyone of any age. We are here to support you and lift you up through every step along the way. I hope your exam gives you some answers
. I would recommend waiting until your BBT shows up and not relying on a regular thermometer to temp with. The most important thing with temping is to temp at basically the same time every day (I give myself 30 minutes to either side of my normal time). And to do it first thing in the morning. You don't want to get out of bed, take a drink of water, anything. Alarm goes off, grab your thermometer. Which BBT thermometer did you order? Looks positive to me, get to BDing!!! Good luck catching that eggy!
@StarryEyes. how is your chart looking hun? Did FF ever take off the CH? I hope your OPK turns positive soon!!
@salamander91 i'm sorry for the frustrating cycles. it can be so hard when your body isn't cooperating. has your doctor been able to give you any guidance?
@Hevalouaddict I'm sorry that the journey for another baby has been such a long road.
Does your DH have secondary issues from shingles? My understanding (only because I had them when I was 20 and talked to the doctor about it) is that it normally doesn't affect fertility. If it's too invasive of a question, you can just ignore, I'm just curious because things can always affect people differently. Also, I'm sorry about the MIL issues and not respecting your religion and your families choices.
@FTale FX you ovulate soon!! and hope your busy week of work passes quickly for you! what kind of work do you do?
@doggylover Hmm.. how much time was between testing with your opks? you could have missed the surge. Mine went from positive to negative in less than 24 hours. Do you temp as well? Still wishing you the best of luck!! Will you try to test early or no?
@Alligator I'm so sorry hun. I wouldn't postpone TTC for your sisters wedding. I am sure she will understand if you're pregnant/have a baby for the wedding. i find the bbt to be easy to do after the first few days and pretty non-evasive into your life. I use the free version of FF and think that it works for me...just depends how analytical you want to be about your chart! Glad you are getting some time off of work soon to relax a bit! Weekend get away to the mountains sounds great! DH told me yesterday we need to start planning a get away for August for a few days!
@Jft1 no need to feel selfish about feeling bad. everyone has the right to feel how they feel, regardless of how long they have been trying. TTC is HARD and seeing negatives is never easy.We all understand that frustration. I think all, or at least the overwhelming majority, of women on these forums are rooting for each other. We all want to see one another have healthy pregnancies and be a support in raising those children up. Praying that you see a BFP soon
Your chart is looking great so far!! Definitely could have been an implantation dip!
@Nixnax yay for ovulating!! I hope you caught that eggy!! Glad we get to be tww buddies!!
@drudai how you're feeling is totally valid and I'm sorry that your experiences on the forum have left you with a sour taste in your mouth. I think people can "feel bad" when they haven't been trying long because they are trying to be sensitive to those who have been trying for a long time. they don't want it to seem like they are flaunting that they had an easier time. i'm blessed that with my boys we fell pregnant easily. But I have several close friends and family who have struggled with infertility. Some that took years to get their babies, some that are still walking through it. I try to be sensitive IRL to them and try to do the same thing on the forum. I don't ever feel bad for my own experiences, but I try to not talk about it much with those that are struggling unless they invite the conversation because it can be hard for them to hear. I've been on and off these forums for 7 years now and generally speaking, I have found the women here to be super supportive and uplifting to each other, no matter where they are in the journey. I certainly hope you stay around, I would love to continue to hear your story and where you are. However, I also completely understand feeling the need to step away :hugs;
@Suggerhoney praying ovulation comes at it's normal time and not early for you! have you spoken with your doctor yet? I doubt they would make you wait a full year to be seen. And you ABSOLUTELY belong here
@Lightning7 Biggest hugs to you
Your temp is still well above cover so don't look at that alone. You can have cramping or light bleeding in early pregnancy and everything still be okay. Have you tested at all again? Praying the bleeding has stopped. Take whatever time you need, we totally understand
@ChibiLena
@Leesa good luck with testing!!
@tbfromlv OPK looks great!! Hope you were able to get some good BDing in!!
@PinkCupcakes I don't have experience with the trigger shot and letrozole but wish you the best of luck!!!
@Kwipeh I know temp drops can be scary but at 9dpo are also really exciting!! how is your temp doing today? You are still so early...hopefully in the coming days you see a clear positive!
@MrsKatie KMFX for you!!! Will you test early or wait until AF is late?
@Sarah Pearce I've never used those tests, but definitely see the line with it. With being so late with AF, I would get ahold of the doctor to get blood work done to confirm. Best of luck!!
@Jessylou4 good luck for next month!
@Pnutsprincess Good luck this month!!
@Danizzychar Happy birthday and welcome to the 30s club!! I'm sorry your cycle is giving you trouble and hope you get some answers soon!
-----------------------------------
AFM, FF finally gave me my crosshairs at CD16, putting me at 3 dpo today. Realistically, I think we are in with 2 good chances being 1 and 3 days before O. But there could have been some super sperm in there too who made it 5 days too lol. Feeling good about our timing and now it's just up to nature! Going to hold off to testing until probably Friday (8dpo). I don't expect to see anything and will try to just do once a day through next weekend and then next Monday (11dpo) start going ham hahaha. Hoping to not think about it too much this week. I have blood work to get done tomorrow to check hormone levels (this was scheduled before we decided to start ttc this cycle) and the schools come out with the options for the fall. And then Wednesday I see my asthma doctor...so hoping those things keep my mind occupied!
Hope you all have a wonderful rest of your day and looking forward to seeing your updates in the coming days!
you are all amazing I don't know what I'd do without all your support over all these months. Hubby asked what's going on this morning, I told him and he's like "oh that's a shame, its ok there's always next time!"
meanwhile I'm over here dying of cramps and feeling sooo sad
this is exactly how my last MC went - minus the temp drop as I wasn't tracking BBT.
xx
and again at 14dpo
