MAY we all be blessed with baby! May 2013 and beyond (BFFs Seeking BFPs)

[ariel01]

Hiya everyone! :wave:

Just found this group and it sounds so awesome and supportive, can I join? June 14 is my upcoming test day.

@Ruskiegirl - sorry to hear about your ER trip due to O pain! Hope you're doing better. I have pretty bad O pain but never anything that bad!

@kiki13 - I had a female doc who retired to stay home with her kids and was looking for a new OBGYN. Was recommended a male dr. and was also nervous but he has been great!

 

[omgbaby]

Blahhh. This morning I woke up to temp, fell back asleep woke up at 7:55 lol I have to be to work by 8!! Haha
Thankful not too many of those pains yet this morning but they lasted all night. Hopefully they wait until I get off to start.

Kiki........ya male dr's can be awesome..I have a female one but I didn't choose her based on that...I've had so many great and caring male dr's over the years...Good luck!

Omg Ruskie that sounds AWFUL!!!! I mean sometimes I get super sharp o pains but never THAT bad.....wow.....rest up girl!!! Hopefully you caught that egg!!!!

Happy Monday Ladies! Hope everyone is doing well...

Things will be pretty boring here....testing wednesday and then Saturday(If I dont get my period before then)... still completely symptom-less..I do have sore boobs...but that's an AF thing....grrrr...

 

[burgbrandy]

Ugh! Hubby left a window open last night and it was 67° in our room when i woke up! So my temp was super low! Im not sure if its because of the room temp and not being covered, or because af is on her way. Af is due thursday. Only 12 dpo today and temp usually doesnt drop this low until 14 dpo or even the day af is due. Stupid hubby! Lol!

I hope that it means a BFP not AF!

Hopeful 2014, can you change my appointment date to June 21st, pls? I got an appointment with a female doctor, who is also way closer to my house (walking distance) than the male one. I'm sure he is pretty great too, but I'd rather not change two buses to get to my obgyn! She's already scheduled my next appointment too, 23rd July!

 

[nikkilucky77]

Oh lordy - I have NO clue what is going on with me. So I am still crampy today but just went to the restroom (TMI sorry) and when I wiped there was a huge glob of EWCM with a pink streak.
Does anyone normally get EWCM before af?
10dpo today and bfn

I tend to get EWCM before my period and the last two months it was pink tinged for the day or two before I got AF. I'm sorry...hope that isn't want it is for you

 

[nikkilucky77]

@Hopeful 2014- Sounds promising! Praying that you may be blessed with your own LO. You've been great support through all this.

@Mme2kdee- So far so good as far as I know! We have our US on Tuesday and I'm very excited. Assuming everything is fine we'll be telling a few more people. My chest doesn't hurt too bad during the day, but at night when I try to roll over, HOLY COW do they hurt! MS, or rather for me, all day, but especially at night sickness is worse. I have yet to actually vomit, just gaggy and bleh. I have not had any, "can't get enough" cravings, but lately I've been dreaming about different foods, and when I wake up I HAVE TO HAVE them! Today during my nap chicken nuggets and white rice with soy sauce made an appearance, so I told DH I wouldn't be making the nice dinner I had planned. Instead I needed to go to the store to get my latest need. While I was there I saw a bag of baked cheetos and they called to me. So it was not the healthiest dinner, but I eat very well most of the time. Finally just the fatigue. This weekend I took a 2 hour nap each day. I better not get used to this! I do have a job...

Any others with BFPs think it's fun to make your snacks the fruit that your baby is currently the size of? Some may think it's cannibalistic or weird, but week 6 I had snap peas for lunch all week, week 7 I had blueberries, and now I have a big thing of raspberries in the fridge. I like the visible measurement, at least until I have a real on on Tues!

That is an awesome idea! I love it! I don't think it is cannibalistic or weird

 

[Mme2kdee]

Good morning and Happy Monday everyone!!! Welcome Ariel!!

BFN today 11dpo. I am 99% sure af will be starting today or tomorrow.
Has anyone tried Soy Iso? I was considering taking that as my cycles are super irregular.

 

[ClandestineTX]

I've been away for about a week (out of town, couldn't get hotel wi-fi to work out for me) - tried to catch up, but had to give up about ten pages back!

To the wine-drinking ladies, I walk among you. When I updated my chart last night, I realized I must look like an alcoholic, but I keep any alcohol to 1-2 drinks at the most (and this was a business conference, held mostly at the bars) - I drink very slowly and water down just about everything with ice, as it's all about how much is in your system at any one moment.

I'm also with the never-had-a-BFP crowd - nada. And it's extra horrible, because my IRL bestie has an almost 2 year old (fell within 2-3 months of trying), then had a miscarriage (D&C and everything) and then a chemical in the 9 months she's been trying for #2 and I can't even talk to her about TTC anymore. Those things are horrible, but she still knows she can get pregnant and I do not. I should be a better friend, but I simply cannot console her at this time.

AFM... my chart is a little crazy, but still in... just waiting for this tww to be over one way or another.

 

[burgbrandy]

I have a friend on soy....she had 44-50 day cycles before soy and now she has normal 28-32 day cycles. She isn't pregnant yet, but it definitely helped.

I had a bfn this morning too. Af isn't due til Thursday, but I definitely feel out. I'm thinking that since I only have one refill on my clomid, I am going to skip clomid this cycle and just up my dose of black cohosh, then do my last clomid cycle the following cycle. I know there's still a slim chance this cycle will be it, but I feel like I was af to come so I can move on.

I am at that point too Burgbrandy! I was really hoping for a BFP this month and saddened when I started to get af symptoms. Then last night I decided to get over it and research different things to potentially help conceive for the next cycle so I can be prepared.

Next cycle (starting soon) I will be trying soy iso, eating more fruits and veggies, exercising more, drinking more green tea, trying to get away from my Starbucks addiction, using preseed, having flaxseed and I bought a clear blue fertility monitor as well. now I just have to wait for af to start

 

[littlesteph]

sorry I havant posted here in a while forgot about this thread, in so many.
been feeling a little down the last few days. I usually get a positive opk on day 14 it's now day 16 and I still havant had one, just as it looks like i'm going to get on they get lighter again, I'm really scared that it will take a long time to fall pregnant again

 

[burgbrandy]

I already ordered my opks for next cycle as well as some different hpts. My plan is black cohosh twice a CD 1-10, then continue my vitamins...I take 5 different supplements including my prenatal and hubby take a mulivitamin and 5 other supplements. Lol! I'm running out of things to try. I've also been doing some fertility yoga but I really should stick to it, so I'm going to try to work out a schedule for my yoga.

 

[Hopeful2014]

@ariel01 Welcome to our group! There's a great bunch of ladies here. Fingers crossed for a BFP!

@omgbaby Those mornings are the worst. I hope your day passes quickly and you can get home to relax.

@kiki13 I'll add both dates. I'm glad you found someone closer.

@littlesteph Welcome back! It will happen for you! I hope it comes quickly. I know waiting for ovulation and waiting for outcome is hard.

I'm sorry to see so many of you feeling out today. But I'm so glad that you are being productive and thinking about what you can do next month. I always think that focusing on what I can do helps me through.

Good morning and Happy Monday everyone!!! Welcome Ariel!!

Has anyone tried Soy Iso? I was considering taking that as my cycles are super irregular.

I tried Iso several months back in hopes of moving O back up to where it had been prior to my MC, which was CD 15. Post MC it had been around CD 19 and my periods were very light. HOWEVER, for me, Soy was a very bad idea. I took 50mg day 3,4 100mg day 5,6 and 150 day 7. O was delayed to CD 24 and was VERY PAINFUL, and then my cycle ended at 38 days, so my LP was unaffected, which was fine. The cycle after that (no soy) was a little better- closer to normal, so maybe it did kick start it for me, but the month of soy I wouldn't wish on anyone. That being said, it works great for some people. I don't regret trying it as I felt I was doing SOMETHING productive, but I think you need to be aware that it can have opposite effects if your E levels are not the problem.

 

[melann13]

@Hopeful
My implantation pains were LOW like the crease between the (TMI) mons and my leg, like the bikini shave area . However, pains and aches 2-3 inches medial to the hip bone is usually corpus luteum/ovary aches and this can be a good thing later in the cycle as it implies your CL is really pumping out the progesterone. I had both kinds my BFP cycle, but the CL pains are normal for me.

So ladies, I just wanna be sure here about my chart, putting my temp for today Ff put crosshairs for O on cd 19.... I think it's 21 so I'm wondrring if i should move it. Am I right in doing so? What do you think? Should I trust FF? I'd love to be 5 dpo but that dip doesn't look right to me.... Anyways Hopeful I O'd early (was supposed to O june 4-5) and ill update my test date when I get a better grasp on my O day!

thank you, i'm just really hoping its not going to take another 2 years to fall pregnant. As much as I love my son I really want to give him a brother or sister, I don't really want him to be any only child

Maybe go with what FF has on there and just know that you think it was 21st. I had to do that a couple months ago and it seemed like my O day would have been between what FF thought and what I thought lol. (Just based on when I got my period...I'm pretty regular) At least it is something to go off of
