May All Our Dreams Come True - May Testing Thread

[Redclaire]

Taurus-I hope your little boy has a speedy recovery and everything went as planned.

Redclaire-Fantastic! I hope you get the job after such a stressful night and early morning.

Nothing going on but the rent as far as I'm concerned..Today is the predicted AF day, and sometimes I think she's coming, and other times I don't.

Poor you terri...such alot of waaaiiiittting when TTC it's a right pain in the posterior!!
As regards the job..truth is i never really considered it cos my head is sooo stuck in TTC/IUI and all that jazz...yesterday i kinda felt it would look bad if i didn't apply! More pay like alot more and better conditions, and way up the ladder but further away like 20 miles, and if my little fella is to be my only one i don't want to miss this magical time with him cos i'm working late in a new job...hmmm hard choices!

Awesome lines Ab!! COngrats!!

Terri, FX AF stays away!

I think I Oed the day before yesterday (CD13). I had planned on temping, but with everything going on, I keep forgetting to temp. GEEZ! I had EWCM the day before yesterday, and none yesterday so I am pretty sure it was O day. We didn't BD from CD11-13, but BDed last night. Hopefully, the egg stuck around long enough to be caught, but I doubt it. Anyway, I should test on May 10 (Mother's Day here in Mexico). If no line, I will just wait for AF.

We decided to use Clomid next cycle. I have never got a BFP with just CLomid alone. My BPF was with 100mg Clomid and 2 75iu Menopur.

AF-Congratulations!!!!! Your line porn looks amazing!
Redclaire-Congrats on the job potential!
Terri-Got my fingers crossed AF stays away!!!!
AFM-in my tww and I just realized I will be at the inlaws my testing weekend. I really do not want to test there. Idk if I should test the day before or just wait to see if AF comes.

 

[Mtkrvi06]

Taurus--hope LO is on the mend!!!
Terri---NO AF

CONGRATS for the first May BFP!! That's awesome!!!!

9dpo and dying to POAS but refusing. I'm determined not to test till the 7th which is still a day or so early....I will probably cave by the 5th :/ I promised myself I wouldn't test early at all but the wait is KILLING me.

 

[booger76]

Stay strong, Mtkrvi06! You can wait it out. I'm right there with you. 10 DPO for me and trying to think about anything else I can.

My apologies to everyone else for not keeping up very well with this thread. I will try to do a better job. I hope everyone is hanging in there the best that they can.

 

[Radkat]

AB - Woohoo on our first (of many, hopefully) BFPs!

Bookworm - Sorry about the nausea. At least it's for a good cause (does that help at all?)

Redclaire - Whoa sounds like quite an application and position. It's hard to know the best balance of home/family and work sometimes. Good luck and I'm sure whatever happens will be for the best.

Taurus - Hope your LO is doing well. Sending good vibes your way.

Blueshoney - It sucks testing at the in laws. Hard to hide excitement or disappointment. Maybe you could get up early to do it so that you and DH can discuss before seeing the in laws?

I'm in the TWW now, as several of us are.

 

[terripeachy]

I'm out girls. The good news is I can stay on the May thread and would like my next testing date to be the 27th. IUI here I come.

 

[Blueshoney]

Terri- I'm sorry but I have a great feeling about the IUI!

Radkat-Yea they do not know how to keep a secret so I do not want to share with them anything until I am in the safe zone. Plus they don't know we are TTC and Id rather keep it that way because they are not the most supportive people. Total Eeyores which I do not need!

 

[myra]

Sorry terri I hope it's only because you were meant to get a late May BFP to help us wrap up the month on a positive note

 

[MomOf3Girls]

Hey all! I'm back again. Last cycle we decided not to try, and I took a total break from everything. We weren't excited about an early January due date right after Christmas. No temping, no opk's, no progesterone, no message board. I just needed some time where I wasn't thinking about TTC at all. Since no progesterone last cycle, not sure when I'll O this month. Put me down for May 26th for now please. It may change after I O if it ends up happening when I'm not expecting it to. I'm thinking it'll be a later cd since there was no P last cycle.

Terri ~ I'm so sorry.

 

[ab75]

Sorry terri. Good luck for IUI xx

 

[Redclaire]

Hey terri tho IUI could be just the magic mixture you need!!

Well had cd9/ med day 8 scan today...and a 14mm and 11mm on the right plus loads of under 9mm on left...and this is with the low dose puregon injections! The nurse said i'd be a super responder for IVF..but we're not going down that road. So scheduled for another scan sunday morn and really hoping that only 2 at at or near the 18mm cut off and that a third doesn't jump in size cos then IUI would be cancelled again..damn rules!!

9dpo and dying to POAS but refusing. I'm determined not to test till the 7th which is still a day or so early....I will probably cave by the 5th :/ I promised myself I wouldn't test early at all but the wait is KILLING me.

I caved (even though by now I know better! )
and of course the result was a BFN (8dpo)
Although I did find this to read, and it made me feel much better - plus
I think it may stop me from buying more POAS and testing too early:

Yes Good news to alleviate AF: May 27

(Dam is so depleting. I am hoping she stays away but she just never does!)

 

[Ambree]

Positive OPK this morning so iui tomorrow morning! Super excited!

Good Luck Paula

Can I ask why did you decide to use iui?
(I'm trying to learn more about iui and its suitability / success )

thank you. We decided to do iui because we had success with it last October. We miscarried in January and tried 3 cycles on our own before doing the iui with letrozole this cycle. Hubbies count after the sperm wash was 40 million with 99% mobility so the Dr said that was excellent.

I am sorry about your mc. That is an excellent count for
Best wishes for this cycle
Thank you for sharing

 

[RNTTC2011]

Can you put me down for May 19? Thank you for starting this thread Taurus and Happy May Birthday!

 

[Siobhan14]

Can you put me down for May 14? Thanks!

 

[Taurus8484]

Hi Ladies.........Im back.

Thank you all for your well wishes with my LO. He is back on recovery and doing fantastic.

AFM - should be ovulating in the next few days......so life will revolve around peeing on a OPK stick for the next few days and bonking away like rabbits....

 

[Ambree]

Booger & Nikki
did you test?

 

[terripeachy]

Taurus-Glad things are going great for your little boy. Hope you catch that egg this month.

Ambree-Sorry for the BFN. How are things looking now? It's DPO11 for you now, right?
