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

[eyemom]

Hee hee ok mowat. Hopefully it'll still be inconclusive today though bc I can't test, and I'm hoping AF stays away! It could start tomorrow though and still not be late.

Today, boobs might be slightly less sore. Woke up early again this morning, but this time could be more because poor DD was coughing like crazy. If a bbt adjuster is to be believed, it gives me my highest temp this cycle. It has the last two days trending upward.

Staying guarded though bc it could still very well be my body playing mean tricks. Plus my bbs would seem to indicate AF is on the way.

Eye: your temps are still high considering the dip last month before AF! Your not out yet Hun.

Well I'm the same as you AF due today/tomorrow. Had horrible cramps yesterday, was sure to wake up to AF nothing as of yet not even spotting. We shall see tomorrow !! Plan to test tomorrow with FMU. Really want AF to stayyyy away x

 

[brunettebimbo]

In the last half an hour I've started cramping on the left hand side. I'm scared I know cramping is normal but this a little stronger than normal cramps.

 

[Little_one]

Brunette Hun please try and relax. I want to promise it'll all be okay but we all know we can't do that. Put your feet up and rest for a while.
P.S my growing pains with my daughter were horribleeeee!! X

 

[Unexpected212]

Yeah my cramping this time was way worse than with my son and I would have thought everything had already done it's stretching/growing the first time round.

I had HCG tests due to cramping on one side and everything was and is fine. Just baby getting snug xx

 

[eyemom]

Thanks Little_one, I've got everything crossed for you as well. I did get a temp dip last month that made it pretty obvious what was going on, but some months it doesn't go down until after the bleeding starts. So idk. I guess it's not usually this high though.

Aww brunette, I'm sorry it must be scary. I agree, take it easy, maybe drink a glass of water, and see if it doesn't ease up. If it intensifies though, may be worth a call to your Dr to be safe. Praying everything is okay. Chances are it's your uterus growing. Big

Ok so. Does anyone remember the site peeonastick.com? I loved that site, but it is no more. But I found what I remembered because someone quoted it on another site that's still around:

From peeonastick.com:

A real positive is identified by its color (pink or blue, whatever the color of the test's dye is) and its appearance within 10 minutes of urinating on the stick. A line that appears after 10 minutes, regardless of color, must be considered an evap line and is caused by the test's chemicals changing. HPT's are rapid assay diagnostics, which means any results appearing after the "rapid" time limit of 10 minutes are invalid.

I did an opk this morning just because I felt the need to pee on something. And the test line was suuuuuper faint. I know nothing conclusive, but it's not a good sign.

And...I'm so sorry because apparently my reading comprehension has been crap lately. Are you new here? If so, welcome to this wonderful group of ladies. If I've already welcomed you, don't mind me I think I'm losing my mind.

No you're not losing your mind, I am new here.

My story: I had an MC in January after not, not trying. My BF and I are over 40 and we just figured if it happened, it happened. Well I was so surprised to get that BFP, I just didn't think it would ever happen for me. Then a week later I had the MC. Now I'm actively TTC. I'm doing OPK's and taking my temp. This is my 2nd cycle of TTC and today I"m CD8. Getting anxious for O time.

I don't have any kids but my BF has an 8 year old son who he has full custody of. So finding time to DTD is hard to say the least. He stays up later than I do!

Here's to hoping good news and good luck to everyone this month!

 

[eyemom]

Ah okay I'm glad I'm not fully crazy. Nice to "meet" you then. Thanks for sharing your story. So sorry for your loss. Wishing you the best.

 

[brunettebimbo]

Thanks girls.
They seem to have eased a bit. They spread across my lower back and now I have back ache. Tristan and I have climbed into bed to watch Turbo and rest so fingers crossed that helps. I am terrified. I lost my first loss at 5+3.

Eye did you test again this morning?

 

[ESwemba84]

Eye, so sorry about your BFN.....OPKs can be deceptive if you use them for an HPT. I know, because I've definitely done it before. I had a positive OPK right before AF one time, and it got my hopes up. I hope your high temps stay that way, and you get a BFP! But if not, good luck next cycle!

Brunette, try to think of those cramps, pains, and other feelings down there as a positive thing....I know it's almost impossible not to worry, but if you can, think of the cramping as your body making room for your baby. Not easy, but it could help reduce some stress....

Little one, good luck! I couldn't see anything on your tests, but that doesn't mean you're not pregnant!

Left, congrats on your little one!

Mowat, hopefully your body will figure out what it's supposed to be doing. I'm still hoping every day that you will successfully conceive soon.

Everyone else....hi!

AFM, AF started a few days ago, and is still going! Such a good change from last cycle! Lol, no one gets why I want a longer period. I called the fertility clinic here locally because they are doing a study, and participants get up to 3 free IVF cycles! Well, it ends up being about $5,000, but compared to $17,000 I really want in on this thing! I left a message, so hopefully someone will call back. Other than that, I'm just waiting on my surgery.

 

[eyemom]

Nope, no tests left in the house. Weather is bad and I have no other reason to get out, so I'm staying in. Will pick one up when I'm out in the morning if there's still any question.

 

[eyemom]

Wow ES I just saw your post. I hope you get into the study, that would be amazing.

 

[brunettebimbo]

Oooo ES that's exciting. FX!

Good luck ES, i hope you get a chance to get in on this study!!! Wow, how cool would that be. Glad to hear AF is still going for you.

 

[Little_one]

Good luck ES! Hope you get your phone call & I agree very cheap!! Wish you the best of luck,

Oh Eye I don't know, here's hoping!! Keep going to the toilet to check AF hasn't arrived. Let's cross our fingers

Really hoping that we get a lot more BFP's! X

 

[Left wonderin]

ES wow that would be incredible! Fingers crossed you get in and a phone call soon xx

 

[Little_one]

TTCBabyisom I just read your journal and cried like a Baby!! My heart really goes out to all who suffer a loss
It's an unimaginable pain in your heart you can never describe. Wouldn't wish it on anyone:

So glad I found this site

 

[ttcbabyisom]

Exploring your options might be a good plan. Always nice to get a second opinion.

I'm on Naproxen Eye. Last time I was on it I took some sort of stomach pill at the same time because the doctor said it could cause stomach upset. I'm going to just take it up until I ovulate and then stop. The doctor said "are you sure you're not pregnant?" Um, yeah, I think I know how to detect pregnancy by now!

Just did an opk and it's almost positive. Hmm, didn't think Femera caused false positives, but it's way too early to ovulate. Maybe we'll bed tonight just in case.

Good luck this cycle mowat with the femara. I find it easier on my body than the clomid. I'm on my 4th cycle of it but this time we did the IUI with it and the gonal-f. Wow, looks like you're totally covering everything with your BD schedule. Hopefully you can keep that up until after O. I couldn't! Ha!

 

[ttcbabyisom]

Sorry for the BFN Eye. Were you going to see a different doctor and get some more tests? Can't remember.

Don't know what's going on over here---my body is a mess. Started a higher dose of Femera on cycle day 3, but I also started a strong anti-inflammatory the same day. Had pretty much constant strong pelvic pain since. I have almost gone to the ER several times, but then it settles slightly. I've also been spotting on and off which never happens. I would think it was the anti-inflammatory upsetting my stomach, but it feels more like ovary pain. I've also had trouble sleeping the past few nights and had a couple days of really bad headaches. Usually I only get insomnia in the TWW. Hopefully the pain settles before we need to start bedding!

higher dose of femara? i didn't know they had higher than 2.5 twice a day...sorry your body is giving you fits right now.
