May BFP - roll up roll up!!

[WoodyA]

I am debating using softcups in a few cycles if I'm not pregnant!!
Don't think DH will like it though

They are for menstruation to catch your flow, but I've heard if you put them in after sex they may help keep sperm near the cervix and thus aid conception. Never tried it before but I figure every little thing helps!

I did use them one month for my AF and was less impressed with them.

Oh, and I did an opk after Coach left...POSITIVE finally!!! Now go find that egg!!!

The reason I asked is because I have been using a reusable menstrual cup for a couple of years. But I think the shape may be a little different than the disposable ones -- deeper, so I haven't ever used it for TTC. I do like using it but during heavy flow it's a little iffy for me. Gotta use backup on those days. It's funny because my girlfriends and female cousins didn't even know what they were. I bet there are a lot more people on here who know just because we are more informed about our cycles.

Good that you've gotten your +OPK! I'm sure the little spermies are ready and waiting! Hope you get your BFP this cycle.

So, today I went to the bathroom and I smiled to myself as I once again saw EWCM. And then I found myself laughing to myself, as I found myself so excited to tell you guys!!! Would you ever call up your friends to tell them that you had EWCM? Probably not. Anyway, once again I appreciate the fact that you ladies will be excited for me!

Holly~ I got my blood work back and my thyroid was normal and I don't have anemia. So...I go to the Dr. on Thursday. I have still be experiencing hot flashes through out the day, but thankfully have not had anymore night sweats. The fatigue is still awful! But I enjoy spending time w/ my husband in the evenings, so I stay up to spend time with him. I hope you are feeling better!

We , so hopefully...

Hello all

Didn't manage to DTD last night... way too tired. We'll have to make do with tonight and tomorrow and Friday!! No + opk yet so I'm not too worried.

Hoping to get my + this evening, but really... who knows!!

Had more EWCM yesterday, no sign yet today but I'm sure it's there.

I can't believe how much calmer and more relaxed I am this cycle. I know the 2ww will be horrendous and the arrival of af will be a challenge but at the moment I feel pretty cool about it all. I think I'm going for 'scientific detachment' from it all. I'm treating it as a 'baby making experiment' and trying not to think too much about how much I want an actual baby!!

:dust

Big to you all, and thanks yet again for your ongoing support. x

 

[WoodyA]

So I know I said I wasn't going to use opks but hubby went out and I thought what the heck!

It was almost almost Possitive! Here's to hoping I have a 28day cycle and ovulate at the weekend!! Might not test again but I MUST bd tonight!!!! After a late shift at work it will be tough!!

Yay!!

Mine are still definitely negative Still hopeful for ov tomorrow though - after all, it can happen pretty quick! I'll test again this evening - and make sure we BD tonight..... FX'd.

I guess all we can do is carry on BDing until I'm sure I've ov'd - whenever that might be!! As I'm not temping I never can be absolutely sure but I have managed to get pregnant 3 times in the last five years so I figure I DO ovulate!!!

Of course we're excited for you! No such thing as TMI here. I might share with my BFF but she has had her own problems TTC so she would get it. Others, not so much. I told Grandma about the 1st MC back in November and I didn't tell her about the last one because she didn't quite give me the kind of support I needed. I think she was worried about me TTC again. So I'll just keep things to myself until it's time to share the news with the world. And share with you lovely ladies, no doubt.

CRC- yup~ a UTI or symptoms of one can be a preggo sign! I hope it is for you! I think there are a lot of factors to look @ when deciding to get fertility assistance- like what you've been through- how long you've been trying- your age- your cycles, etc. I think a consult never hurts anyone! In January- I just saw my OB who is also a fertility specialist but he only does so much. This time- I am working with an actual fertility specialist!

LittleBird~ you do have to take Clomid in the beginning of a cycle that you know is from AF.. like you could take it on cd2-6,3-7, or 5-9.. those the typical days that it is prescribed. I took it 3-7 when I got preggo in january. I know my doc said the HSG is usually done on a certain cycle day too- but I never had that done and I don't know if other doctors care what cycle it is on. My OB said he typically doesn't do Clomid in the same month than an HSG is done.. but I've seen people who DO have them both done @ the same time so I'm over in the "assisted conception" threads on here and they are really helpful too if you're looking for some info!

Hanskiz~ you can never have too much ice cream It's still early so you have plenty of time to BD!

babyhopes2011~ for the positive OPK! I am glad you were checking!!! Now we just need those to get in there and bring down that egg!

mercedes2010~ are your OPK's getting any darker or are they still really faint?? It can change VERY VERY quickly so just keep on testing my dear!



As for me~ I went in to have my u/s today to check my ovaries and how things are looking- shows what side I will most likely ovulate on.. there were 3 follicles in there (I think that's what they are called! ) but there is one big one leading the pack he said. Typically the goal of when you take Femara is to have MORE so you can release more than one egg to increase the odds. I told him about my hospitalization, pancreatitis, and the meds I am finishing from the rash I got due to a reaction- and like I had read- they actually sometimes prescribe it to help with fertility anyway so he wasn't concerned at all. Things are looking good.. I am glad there are no cysts or anything. I had a corpus luteum cyst when I was pregnant in January and I think it was still hanging around after the miscarriage- so I am glad that is completely gone and no issues there. He guessed that our IUI will be Thursday which was exactly what I predicted. I did an OPK this am and it IS getting darker- so Thursday is for sure my guess!

Oooooh lots of us are coming up into the fertile window and we need to get some back to back BFP reports in here in just a couple of weeks!!!

Oh, and was able to get my in last night. Wooot Wooot!!!! baby dust!

K, thank you! I think im going to give acupuncture 2 more months. It has been 8 months since I miscarried so I think Im gonna give myself a little more time....Yah for your follicles!! Im excited for you! keep us posted.

 

[LittleBird]

Guess what? Yesterday's pregnancy test was back to 0! The nurse called me this morning at 10:30am. This is THE EARLIEST I have ever had blood test results. She'll be calling in my prescription for Clomid today. And I have the HSG scheduled for tomorrow! OMG things are moving at the speed of light! I'm so glad I found this doctor and she's taking my fertility so seriously! I think I might just explode with happiness!

 

[CRC25]

Well 7dpo for me.... not much really going on w/ me! lol.... af due in 7 days! praying she stays away!! thinking about seeking fertility help next month if no sticky bean for me Good luck to everyone!!! lots and lots of baby dust to EVERYONE!!!!

 

[Cornish]

I GOT MY ZERO!!!!!!
I am so excited!!!
Full steam ahead for dtd and getting a bfp.
Congrats to ladies with positive opks, Hanskiz I'm sure youll get yours soon. Have never used them myself, don t have the patience, but am sure if you continue to dtd then you'll catch the egg even if you miss the +opk.
Am having a lovely positive day and only one more day of work until 4 baby making days off!!!!!

Good luck ladies.xxxx

Brilliant news Cornish I'm really pleased for you. Have followed your journey and your heartbreak after finding out about your PMP. So glad the world is looking mucn more positive for you. Lots of to you.

Holly - thank you for your encouragement. Not sure how I am waiting to test until AF due but I will be. Sorry you are feeling down today

Everyone else - good luck girls! Sunday - testing day - is nearly here for me. Earlier this week I was thinking I was feeling pregnant. However today I feel I am waiting for AF to show Please please I would so like a BFP again xx

 

[Cornish]

Thank you fizzio, I want to scream it from the rooftops but know it's only the first step to holding my baby. Fxd for you that your egg got caught. I think it's easy to symptom spot, don't get yourself down about it though. Sunday is so close!!!xxx

Wonderful, wonderful news!! I'm so pleased you've found a good doctor who is willing (from the sounds of it) to move mountains to get you pregnant!! Really happy for you....

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!! That's brilliant news! So, so happy for you. Looks like we may be DTD and ovulation buddies this cycle!

I hope so!! I've only used them this month and last so a bit new to it really. I don't think I'll do it again next month unless my ov day is wacky or something. I'll just go with the flow and DTD around the middle of my cycle. I've got PG 3 times without them so it's more to reassure me that things are happening. Once I've ov'd this month I'll be reassured enough I think - it is a bit of a faff!!

CRC25 - You're halfway through the 2WW! Fingers crossed that AF stays away and you are telling us about your BFP in a week.

Cornish - I know how you feel. Back to zero is a good place to be. A fresh start. Good luck with the upcoming ovulation and BD.

Hanskiz - Looks like you'll be ovulating really soon. Good luck, catch that egg! I'll be doing OPK this cycle, it was kinda fun when I did it back in March, but I was only testing once a day. Poor Holly, she tests more often than that. I like having more than one sign tell me where I was in my cycle. This month, I'm doing OPK and temping and CM (although I'm still not too experienced with that). Hopefully all three of those things will give me the same information about my ovulation day. I'm a scientist at heart.
