June, month of new beginnings! Thread for laughter, support and POAS! 19 BFP!

[Ilovetomatoes]

Macy and Kwynia, it's so cute that you guys answered the same thing . FX for you both.

Twinkie, I totally understand how you feel. It will happen to us. Soon hopefully .

 

[macydarling]

I thought we were the same Macy, when are you testing?

I know I should wait until I miss AF but Im sure I will cave and test earlier. Maybe next Monday? That will be like 10dpo right? It's cool that we are on the same schedule!

ILT- I see pink too so my fingers are crossed for you!!

Fairry, don't worry we are. We did the 3 day in the row bd just in case and were going to start every other day for a while too. I'm going to keep using the opk's too. We are wore out! were both 39 and have been married 16 years lol, so this is quite a bit of bding we are doing. 4/5 days lol Hubby says he's wore out. So today were taking a break unless I get a positive OPK.

Twinkie, these past two days, I felt like I had been drinking a lot. 2 days worth of hangover feeling starting on friday and felt like a bottomless pit last thursday - friday. The pinching is getting a little more uncomfortable. Woow...been sitting at work for the past two hours and haven't gotten anything done yet. whooppss... . I'll check back later with everyone later.

I keep forgetting to say: Confuzion!!! Congrats!! I see you finally listed your name as BFP. Super happy for you!!! Yaayyy.

 

[n.miller]

ILT - congratulations!


Congrats to all the BFPs I may have missed and sorry to those of you who got BFNs or had AF show. I'm pretty sure I'll be right there with you. Queasiness is gone. I mean I've been more tired, but other than that I don't feel any different. And as I hadn't started the metformin, I have no confidence that my eggs were developed enough to be fertilized.

Got some news yesterday and I have mixed feelings about it and DH doesn't understand. We found out that his cousin who married a year and 1 week after us is trying as well. They are having difficulty too. So I'm sad for them and praying hard but at the same time, the selfish part of me wants the BFP first as there are no great grandchildren on that side yet and when DH and I first married he told me he was a little sad he wasn't the first to have children on the other side of his family. So I stupidly promised we'd be the first on the other side. So now I feel like it's all my fault and I've let him down and his cousin will beat us to it.

Ok... So maybe I was wrong about no symptoms. I'm crying now and I've been crying at a drop of a hat. Tomorrow is RE appointment and they'll do a beta.

 

[fairyy]

Meg, sorry for the BFN.

Jm, the last time my OPK was like that, I got a + within 24 hours.

Lynny, glad to hear that everything went well. Hopefully, this is our cycle

So I did another stick . I'm not terribly excited about it yet. Not until FRER said so . 1st pic is the original, 2nd pic is the tweaked version, and last one is after it is completely dried. It does look pink IRL.

I can see the on the last one.

 

[jmandrews]

Wow this thread moves at a rapid pace!

ILT- fx for a sticky bean
Mummy- fx you are on your way to a BFP!
Bluebear- your opk's look just like mine up until today. I normally O on day 15 or 16 but kept getting faint lines. Maybe ur O'ing later like me.

AFM: got my +OPK today!!! You ladies were right!!! Let's just hope is a healthy egg that catches a good swimmer.

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

N.Miller, massive . It's not your fault! I am sure your DH doesn't care if it's him or his cousin's first. We all have our own competitive side and it's okay to feel that way. We all have been there . Crying helps a lot . It may take a couple of cycles for the medicine to work but hopefully it'll work next cycle!!

Thank you JM!

 

[confuzion]

ILT - definitely looks like a BFP to me!!

Twinkie - not long now until yours shows up

Deal - not today. Possibly tomorrow. Making my husband call my clinic to see when is the soonest they can take me in (I hate making phone calls!).

 

[Deal9027]

NMiller Fx Fx Fx you get great news from your appt tomorrow!!!

I think we all put pressure on ourselves as soon as we know someone else ttc. You can rationalize that it's not a competition but at the same time you want it sooooooooo much that it's hard to accept if/when someone else gets it so much easier or sooner than you do. So have a good cry over it & get that out of your system. I'd do the same if I were you

 

[kwynia]

I'm sorry n.miller. Sometimes TTC can get really complicated. We are in an awkward family situation. My husband's brother and his wife have two children. Apparently he does not want more kids and she recently she threatened to divorce him over it. We haven't told anyone we are trying for our third and I'm actually quite nervous about getting a BFP only because I know this will further strain their relationship.

 

[Deal9027]

ILT - if there is any "symptom" that I can recall from my previous pregnancies it was my loss of appitite & fatique. So I would take that as a very strong sign coupled with your test that you did it girl!!! I truly believe you got your bfp!!!!!!!

 

[Lynny77]

ILT OMG I think it's your month!!!! I'm so excited for you! Ok I'll calm down and be cool until you whip out that frer and get confirmation. But OMG your symptoms are incredible!!!! Ok back to being cool!

Twinkie- can't wait to see your test as well! It's still early and you're a late line appearer lol.

Krissy- no temping for me this month since the fertility clinic monitoring my cycles so they'll tell me exactly when I ovulate. I like taking the guesswork out of it! Are you trying temping?

Deal- opk's are fun gives you something to pee on that you'll actually see a positive lol. My follies are still small so it'll be another week I think before I O. Longer cycles suck!

Confuzion- praying with everything in me this is your sticky bean. I like how every day it's getting a little better and better though! Good signs this little guy is holding tight!

I'm sorry n.miller- this ttc business is a heartbreaker. You'll get there and when you do your little one will have been worth the wait.

Smiley- how's the opk's doing today? Any darker?

Hello to all the ladies I missed!

 

[confuzion]

Thank lynny - have you guys started BDing yet?

 

[Lynny77]

yes Confuzion we did! Last night we had a fun one! I like when there's no pressure to stand on my head after

 

[confuzion]

LOL yes those first few BDs are the best and most enjoyable. I can't believe you are attempting twice a day around ovulation! My vagina hurts just thinking about it .

 

[Lynny77]

LOL! You just made me snort! I talk all big now but when push comes to shove and that alarm goes off at 6am I'll probably roll over and tell him I'm sure an evening session will suffice!

 

[confuzion]

Haha setting an alarm! My husband would soo not cooperate. He's a pretty heavy sleeper.

I am curious if you get it done though. I will be in awe!

 

[n.miller]

Thanks everyone. It feels better to just rant about it for a moment. Just needed to express how I felt without being judged. DH doesn't quite get that. There's no way he can.

But... DH officially booked our trip to Disney last night and extended our stay by 1 extra day. And if it is a bfn this cycle we'll be going after AF stops but before O. I can relax and enjoy and not have to worry if we're too tired from the park to bd or POAS in one of the bathrooms in the park. Yay for stress free weekend getaway.

 

[Lynny77]

Tui and Sunshine last month really inspired me with their twice a day success! It's the one thing we haven't tried yet
