Looking for cycle buddies - cd4 today (19th may)

[hanrh]

It is almost 7pm here. What about you? Where in the U.S. Do you live? I got married over there on siesta key beach (see my pic!)

 

[Libbystepof4]

We get my stepbabies for the long weekend! Because we have to drive them 3 hours home on Sundays, weekends usually feel like one day. I'm excited to have the long weekend with them!

Hanrh- yes ive been using FF just the last month or so. Will figure out how to add it to my signature when ive been using it a little longer. Using it to chart some of the things on there has been a big influence on me to start using the OPK and BBT. I'm hoping it will make a difference!

Francesca, I have no experience with that either. I will hope and wish that it is IB and you get a BFP soon!

i actually live in Florida ...and its 4pm here

 

[hanrh]

Hopeful - so 5 hours different! Wow Florida is my favourite place! You are so lucky!! Hubby and I are planning to go back on our 5th anniversary.
Libby that sounds a nice weekend. Do you have much planned with them? In terms of tracking I read a really great book when I started and it's helped me so much. It's clues something like taking charge of your fertility.

Cd8 for me today - let SMep commence!!

 

[franchesca83]

No i havent done a test. I think its too early. Only 6dpo today?

 

[Libbystepof4]

We dont have any big plans. We will just mostly hang out with them probably. They are still pretty little so its hard to take them places sometimes. There's so many of them! Its fun though. Weather is yucky so no outside time.
Took BBT for the first time this morning. Hope I did it right. It seemed to low to me!

 

[hanrh]

Ah yes Francesca - that is early to test! I think I got my first bfp at 9dpo so not long to wait to test for you now. Any symptoms?

Libby that sounds nice, even if the weather is rubbish. What was your temp this morning? Mine is usually about 36.5/6 pre ovulation.

 

[Libbystepof4]

Well I'm all Fahrenheit over here. It was 96.67.
And yes, we are having a fun time. My poor girl, 7, keeps begging to go to a park but it is serious thunderstorms out so she's having disappointment. She will live but we have been having bad weather for a few weeks so she is just dying for some outside running around time!

Hello, everyone! I think I'm the closest cd to your group. I'm at cd2.

I got pregnant the first month ttc (Dec.) and lost it in Feb. This will be my 3rd cycle ttc since the mc.

I have a clotting disorder too, hopeful0404 (found out testing after mc). It's Factor V Lieden. It's not really severe. I'll probably just take baby aspirin and will have lots of extra appts/scans. They said I'd take Lovenox if I had another loss. I feel like why not take it now if it's preventative and non-invasive. Oh well, first I need a bfp anyway.

I'm sorry for everyone grieving losses and feeling anxiety over this process, but I'm also very excited to see some bfp's on this thread!

 

[franchesca83]

Thanks Hanrh. No syptoms at all. So now I'm starting to doubt and that maybe my cycle was doing something weird

 

[hanrh]

Libby- aw poor little thing. I hate thunder storms!

Francesca- Why do you think your cycle is weird?

Annie - hello! I'm so sorry about your loss but it's good that you now know the cause and how to resolve it! I agree, excited to see some bfps already!!!

I took my first opk of the cycle today (I ise the clear blue fertility monitor) and it's already showing a peak! I'm only cd9 - so confused!!!

 

[hanrh]

How was everyone's long weekend?

I am cd10 today and got another peak on my monitor however no temp rise yet so still waiting on ovulation. Lots of bding to be done! How is everyone else getting on?

 

[swimmyj1]

hey guys I was wondering if I could join? Been off birth control for 2 years but have been actively trying for almost a year.

hanrh - i totally get what you mean by being opk crazy lol I tend to test a lot but I never get an actual positive just leading up to then going away so I'm starting to worry I don't actually ovulate. I don't temp because of my crazy work schedule but i'm trying to figure out if there is a way I can lol.

hope everyone had a good memorial day weekend

 

[hanrh]

Hi swimmy. Welcome!! I'm glad there is another opk addict on here!! I do think the cheapy opk's are difficult as you have to take so many to catch it! Have you had any tests at the doctors to see if you do ovulate? I had my 21 day bloods taken to check o ovulated - was quite straight forward and put my mind at rest.

This cycle is so crazy! I'm now cd11 and have had light
Spotting when I woke up for the last 2 days and still have a peak on my monitor. No temp rise yet tho. I'm wandering if the spotting could be ovulation bleeding?! Has anyone had it before?

 

[hanrh]

So as I said above I have been feeling a little odd This cycle
Do just took a hpt and this is what I got. Have been spotting though. I don't know what to this?

 

[hopeful0404]

so i def see a line, have you contacted your OB?

 

[swimmyj1]

defiantly see a line maybe you ovulated a second time, that could be implantation spotting, I have had ovulation spotting before but not a positive hcg test lol. Take another one tomorrow and see if its darker! I really hope that's ur true BFP!!!

 

[hanrh]

Thanks ladies. Took another test and much darker! Feeling nervous as am
Still spotting. Going to have my bloods done today as all the dates don't quite match up so hoping it might shed some light!!

How are you all??

 

[hopeful0404]

i will be praying for you..and will be waiting to hear an update!...all is good here just taking opks now ...also my husband told me he is thinking about re-enlisting in the army...he was in for 5 years before and got out, but now wanting to return. I am happy for him but now my world is def crazy between that and trying to have a baby lol

 

[hanrh]

Wow hopeful that is very crazy!!! When we he be back in? What will that mean for you guys? Will he be away from home a lot?

Had my bloods today so waiting for results. Hospital has also booked me in for a scan for the 15th June however I have to go In sooner if I get any pain.
