Late August to September testers - Who's with me?????

[9babiesgone]

I am taking clomid this round to make my eggies better quality, and I am taking folic acid, and a fertibella, I am trying it. also cramp bark in case I do get pregnant to help keep it.

What is cramp bark? Where do you find it?

cramp bark is an natural herb used by native tribes, dont remember which ones to stop cramping and to help prevent miscarriage. I get mine from herblore.com bc they have the tincture, and I just put it in my drink. I get the non-alcohol based one.

Hi Everyone!

I'm joining you too
Loving this thread! I will be following it up- it will be great seeing all the names with a BFP next to it.

I'm a PCOS girl so my cycle can be quite irregular, however if all works well I may test around 2nd Sep.

welcome to all our new comers. i'll add you all to the list shortly.

Hon and Mon do I have a testing date for you yet? So sorry to hear about the chemical this month, on a positive not sperm did meet egg, hopefully u can get those Nkc's under control and next time SME you'll be getting more than a faint line!!!!!

I had my blood test for my cycle tracking this morning and have to call up in 10mins and find out what I need to do next! thats all I'm doing this month apart from my prenatals! just need to catch my husband and start the bding!

Sounds like we are all a very positive bunch. I look forward to sharing this month with u!!!

Thanks Katy, I really appreciate it. = )

Justwaiting, I don't have a test date yet for next cycle. I just started spotting today so I have a feeling AF will be here tomorrrow. I'm thinking around September 7th might be a good date.

Did you get your blood results today?

Looks like I am only 3 dpo today, Fertility Friend moved my ovulation date. That's probably a good thing, because we timed things better then anyways! Just a little longer to wait though :/

Sorry completely stuffed up your name, was going off my memory. I'll wait to see if u get af tomorrow so we get a definate date. What do they do for natural killer cells?

Basically with the blood test I rang up at 12 and they rattled off some number all I caught was estrogen less than 150,but otherwise I didn't catch the other too but she told me based on the results to go back on Tuesday for another blood test. apparently thats how it works. i have a test done, call up a few hours later and then they tell me what to do next, i will be asking on tuesday what the numbers mean and all that.

katy - thats good that your new ovulation date works out better anyway, hopefully caught that egg. does meaning waiting a bit longer but hopefully worth it in the end

Hi ladies i thought id join in your lovely thread. Iam currently on cd6 of my first cycle after mc. Af lasted 4days which is normal for me, glad its finished and know i can get back to the fun part haha. Ive decided to try working out more regular, it makes me feel really positive when i do so now the schools are going back ill get into a good routine. I thought it will do good to feel positive and healthy and if i loose weight then that will be the bonus of it. Ive set my test date as september 11th. Always a sad day, i think of all those people lost and it always brings a tear it would be so nice to counter balance it with that was the date i got my bfp.

Hope all you ladies are doing well big hugs and loads of xx

Well, I started spotting yesterday and got AF early this morning so I'm going to call today CD1. I think Sept. 7 is a good test date. If I am preggers this cycle I should get a + by then, we shall see!

For high natural killer cells the goal is to make your immune system as close to normal as possible so the goal is to lower my immunity. There are several treatment options and combinations. The basic 3 seem to be intravenous immunoglobin, intralipids, and/or steroids. I have also heard of a few medications but not sure if they apply in my case. I'm really curious to see what the doc suggests on Monday. The intravenous immunoglobin (IVIG) is a fortune, around $2,000 a treatment around once a month so my pocketbook hurts already LOL!

np!!

HOw is everyone this morning. cycle day 8 for me. and taking my 4th clomid pill!! woohoo!!

 

[Mon_n_john]

How exciting 9babies, I hope the clomid does the trick for you this cycle!

 

[9babiesgone]

I hope it does too!! : )
how are you doing???

 

[Mon_n_john]

I'm good, on CD 1 so back to square one so to speak lol. I have an appt. with my specialist on Monday morning to discuss treatment options for the high NK cells thing. I'm excited but also a little nervous though I am sure it's just the anticipation of it all.

Otherwise than that, the kids go back to school next week and I must confess, it will be nice to have a little bit more quiet around here, even if it's just for a few hours. = ) This TTC stuff can be exhausting and sometimes I just need a quiet space to think, you know what I mean?

 

[9babiesgone]

Yeah I know what you mean, my kids are so little they can drive me nuts sometimes. my daughter is supposed to be going to preschool soon!! well day 1 is a new start, I will cross my fingers and send you a ton of

We are stationed at a NATO base in Geilenkirchen, over near the border of the Netherlands. We're about 3.5 hours away from Kaiserslautern, wish we were closer, that's a nice area! Small world, where are you now? We love it here.

Sorry it took me so long to get back. I am at home in Washington. Married to a civilian now

Hi ladies i have been using digital opks for 5 days running and they said negative but after i ejected the test sticks i noticed that the two lines were getting progressively darker like a normal opk...so today i took another test and i saw a smiley face! yipee im so excited i ordered OH to bed immediately TWICE...sorry if tmi...im a bit worried though because before today we only BD once on wednesday and Tuesday and Sunday...so i missed thursday and friday...hopefully it'll all be ok and we will get our BFP this month...we will dtd again tomoro...fingers x'd and God willing...baby dust to us all x x x

 

[justwaiting]

Patiently I think you have it covered , they say having sex everyday can lessen sperm count so giving him a day here and there to recover can't hurt and I think from the day you get a pos opk you will o within the next 12-36 hours. You've given it your best this month so don't stress too much, I only bd every second day and then if O doesn't fall on those days I do it that day too.

CD 9 today and started the bding last night, I don't o until day 17 usually so still a fair way to go.

How is everyone going?

 

[Elhaym]

Sounds like you've done plenty of BDing patiently, best time to do it is when you see the smiley! good luck in the 2ww hun

I'm soooo bored, hate the early part of the cycle where nothing interesting is happening, don't even start my OPKs for a week yet. Time machine please!

 

[heavyheart]

hiya ladies hugs and dust hope your all doing well.

As for me am having a bit of a rubbish day, is started good i got all my cleaning done and 2 loads of washing out but now i can feel this horrid sadness creeping up on me . Ive been doing really well at feeling positive and making positive changes so am struggling today as to how to shake it off. Think i might just give myself a shake and take my precious girls out to the park and be happy for what ive got, am luckier than others

will check in later ladies

 

[coshea]

Patiently: I think you are fine. A positive means the next 24 - 48 hours so bd'ing now is what matters.
As for me I *may* have O'd on Friday. It is hard to know because yesterdays temp could have been thrown off by drinking and a very late night the night (2 nights ago) before (at sisters cottage). If I put in another temp today similar to todays which was at the higher end it gives me crosshairs on FF making me 2 DPO today. The temp isn't as dramatic as last pregnancies temp jump. If my crosshairs are correct I bd'd the day before I O'd. Of course I know this can change as I go.
I never got a positive OPK but I only did them once a day. They were almost positive then started lightening up. I figure I did surge but since I only did once a day I missed the positive. Couple that will pretty intense O pains the last couple days. I think either I O'd or I was going to and didn't......and now I am blabbing!!! Sorry
Good luck ladies.... Such a waiting game.
