March/April BFP's who's going for it!! NEW LADIES COME JOIN IN!!

[eyemom]

I don't think it's weird. It's not my first pick either, but I'd do it. DH would never go for it though. He's very much, "a baby is the product of our LOOOOOOVE" (those aren't his exact words but that is the sentiment). He really does want another baby desperately, but from what he's saying last few days, it sounds like he's reaching a stage where he feels like if we just get the one he can accept it. Me though...still desperate.

So bored and fed up of waiting. Months seem to take forever when your TTC

 

[garfie]

Unexpected - that's true Hun we end up wishing our lives away

Eye - we're not even on the same page he says time is coming to a
close I disagree - so far I'm winning as the dr has referred me back to the fs because of non ovulation - however I seem to be 7DPFO with a nice temp spike never had one of those

Mowat - good luck Hun whichever way you decide to go

Kat - how are your opks going?

Afm - had a temp spike today ff says 7dpo but put same details in ovu friend it says 15dpo - er not much of a difference

I am testing tomorrow even though I will only be 8dpo as last month she came at 8dpo and I never got to test

Have a nice day ladies

Hey girls, sorry it's not going to plan for some of you, chin up though xx

I don't really have much to add it's all very unexciting here, my oh and I are alright ish, we talked the other night and sorted some things out but then the next day I had a freak out and we ended up having a text argument, were still alright as I apologised and told him that I think it's just that I'm stuck at home allll the time and I'm going mental then I take it all out in him.
He told me today that he's handed his notice in at work as he's not enjoying it and it causes problems for us because he works stupidly long hours, is tired all the time, he works evenings, weekends bank holidays the lot it means he never gets to see his family, and when he does get a day off he needs to just sleep, I don't know how I feel about him quitting 2.5 weeks before I have a baby though what will we do financially?!?!?!
It's crazy but at the same time if he's not happy and it's effecting us then sod it, we'll manage somehow, he's due some holiday pay and he can get a new job after Stella's here one that guys better with our family.

Ok do considering I said I didn't have anything to add I've written a wall of text lol sorry, still no movement on the baby front, just about to tuck into a bowl of pineapple chunks tho!

 

[Sweetz33]

Hey ladies. Sorry I haven't been around. I have been suffering from extreme exhaustion and been nauseeous all day long. I am going to try and catch up today but we are talking about 10+ pages O_O

HERE I GO!!

pink - I know finances are a reality but I think your dh is making a good decision if he is that unhappy with his work. Not being able to see his family would be very hard. I know there was a time when my dad had terrible stress at his work and we all bore the brunt of it. It was the only time in my life when I seriously though my parents would divorce. We were all constantly being grounded and yelled at for nothing. It finally got so bad that he had to go on medication. It sounds like both you and your dh are under so much pressure and mental strain that it just breeds fights. I hope he is able to find a new job soon. In the meantime, let him have his 'down' time. I'm sure you'll find a way to get by.

My thoughts are with everyone else. I can get my bfps relatively easy so I always feel akward joinging the conversation with those lttc. I always fear I'll say something patronizing. I can feel the ache and longing in your posts and I say little prayers for you all.

 

[Kat S]

I never got a positive opk on either test brand. Oh well. Oddly enough, my boobs hurt a LOT and haven't felt that way since I was pregnant last winter. Weird that I get that symptom the very month I don't ovulate. I wonder if it's related? Like, the hormone situation going on with the non-ovulation caused the breast tenderness?

Thanks starry, I think he'll end up staying, he has a meeting with his boss on Monday to 'talk it through' the more I think about it the more I like the idea of him being here. You're right tho I recon were both wound so tight just now, I was just talking to him on FaceTime and just snapped and hung up on him he called back and I'm in tears I have no idea why really other than so hormonal and so stressed, I know he could get a hundred jobs elsewhere he's a chef and people always need food, and he's good too way too go for that place, can you believe he's been at work since 10am he owner of the place called up at about 7pm saying to make sure there was a chef still there at about 11pm as he'll be dropping in and will want food, the kitchen closes at 10pm, it's now midnight and this guy still hasn't shown up! It's disgraceful how taken for granted he is.

 

[mowat]

Do you temp Kat? I'm not finding the opks making a lot of sense lately, but my temps seem to be showing a clearer picture. I never really got a clear positive this month, but my temperatures show ovulation. Might be worth a try---it's certainly cheap!

Maybe it's just me Garfie, but your chart looks pretty good, no? Seems a lot clearer then last month. Good luck with testing!

Good luck Pink! Sounds like OH leaving his job might be a good decision. Hopefully things will work out over the next couple of weeks.

Well, after putting today's temperature in FF, it changed my ovulation date. Doesn't seem like a big deal since we didn't really manage to DTD during my fertile period. However, on the day FF is now saying I ovulated, we did DTD, however (sorry, tmi alert!) the "climax" was not in the right place. I did try to put "stuff" where it should have gone---if you know what I mean! So, my dilemma is whether I should bother starting progesterone when it is highly unlikely that sperm met egg. Thoughts? I feel like if I start the progesterone I'll just be wasting it, but if I suddenly find out I'm pregnant I'll be upset I didn't start! Really, what are the chances!

 

[eyemom]

Hey Pink, hope the issue with your OH's work at least results in some positive changes that make everyone happier. Well, boss man doesn't have to be happy if he's only happy working people into the ground, goodness. Can't put a price on your well-being, so good luck with all that. In any case, glad things are going better between you two.

Starry, occasionally I feel awkward as a LTTTCer joining in discussion with people who aren't, but ONLY because I sometimes forget not everyone is in the same boat. No one ever makes me feel that way. I don't recall you ever saying something patronizing. You're always kind and supportive. I hang out in this thread because we all desperately want our rainbows (and some already have their rainbows and that is so encouraging) and I hang out in another thread for secondary infertility. So I cover the bases that way. We all have our own struggles in this journey. Thanks for your prayers.

Garfie, good luck!

mowat, that is a tough call, but since it's not impossible, I think I'd take it. Better safe than sorry? If you take it when you didn't need it, it's more of a "poop that sucks that I used that." But if you don't take it when it might help, I'd hate to see you kicking yourself. But I don't know, don't come after me if you end up upset that you "wasted" it. But really I don't know if you could really waste it when you just can't know. Anyway, fx.

 

[Left wonderin]

I agree with eye Mowat , you only regret the things you didn't do not the things you did . There is always a chance .xxxxxxxx I also agree Opk were never accurate for me , temping is what really showed a clear pattern over time .

 

[Kat S]

OMG. OOOOMMMMMGGGGG!!! I finally got a positive OPK on the Clearblue! I had some EWCM last night and I thought "Huh?" and sure enough, positive this morning. I'd given up, so we didn't do the syringe last night. We last did it Thursday I think. I'll get him to do it after the gym this morning.

 

[MamaTex]

GL Kat!

 

[eyemom]

Woo wooo! Go Kat! Maybe it's good that you took a break for a few days before now. Now, maybe it'll be a really good sample. Good luck!

 

[Kat S]

I even got a + on the internet cheapie!!

Remember how last time I used those, I got a + on the Clearblue, but not the IC; and I got a + on the IC like 2 or 3 days AFTER the + on the Clearblue? At least this time everyone is on the same page!

 

[ESwemba84]

Congrats on your positive OPK Kat! Good luck on the home insemination!

Starry, I originally joined this group a few months after my MC not really expecting to become a LTTTCer........but I did. You shouldn't worry about saying something that would hurt our feelings. I've never been offended or saddened by anything anyone has said on here, and sometimes I feel like what I post can be super depressing or take away from other people who are trying to celebrate their pregnancies or TTC milestones. I'm personally in a good accepting place, and love to hear success stories!

Mowat, you should do the progesterone. Sperm has an amazing ability to find its way to where it needs to go!

Pink, i hope that as you come to the end of your pregnancy and welcome your little girl into the world, all of these stressors ease up. I hope you are able to focus on the joy of bringing new life into the world. Everything else will work itself out.

Hi everyone else! Garfie, sweets, mama, left, never, Mack, unexpected, moon......all you guys!

AFM, spinal fusion is set for December 9th. I'm so ready to get this over with and feel like new!

 

[Left wonderin]

ES hopefully you will get a whole new lease of life !! I as some one who suffers with severe back pain on and off can only imagine what life is like to live with it every day . Mine there is no exhalation for , I've been semi diagnosed with fibromyalgia but I don't think that's it as its not consistant enough . Anyway roll on the 9th and a new women

YAHOOOOOOO Kat for the positive , go get that spermy girl

 

[mowat]

Go Kat go! What cycle day are you?

 

[garfie]

Go Kat - fingers crossed for you hun



X

 

[Starry Night]

Yeah, go Kat!!! Oh, how I hope this is your lucky month!

ES - I"m glad that they're not making you wait a super long time for your surgery. I really hope you can finally be free from your back pain.

afm - today is the big day. Going to see if a heart beat can be found. I'm definitely a bundle of nerves. Last night I got MASSIVE cramps and I was so terrified especially when I had to go to the toilet and I felt this horrible pressure on my cervix. I really, really thought it was the end. but then the pressure shifted and it turned out my IBS was acting up. Oi. It did put the pressure on though as I got gobs and gobs of clear cm directly afterwards. If things had been going poorly in there I'm sure that awful bm would have ended it. It rattled me for the rest of the night.
