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

[Tangerine]

@Tangerine Welcome to our group! Thanks for joining us. We have definitely had a lot of successes and we are good at comforting each other during difficult times as well. I'll add you to TBA for now and update with a date when you're ready. Fingers crossed for a BFP!

Oh, maybe some of the baby dust will rub off! It would be very very lucky for us if I actually got a sticky BFP in our first month trying with my autoimmune disease. Stranger things have happened though, so we'll see.

I'm pretty sure O happened yesterday and I am in the TWW now. I had some O "pinches," temps have started rising and BBs have been ON FIRE since last night. Will continue sexing OH this weekend to be sure it's passed, since I'm still a TTC newbie.

I would wait until around the 20th and 14 DPO to test, but I noticed that 10 DPO will fall on Father's Day. I might just have to pick up a FRER and see if I can get an early surprise for OH! That would be sooo perfect, I just worry about testing too early and being disappointed. What do you ladies think?

Good luck to today's testers!! I can't wait to see more BFP here, every one fills me with more hope.

Sorry to those that are having a hard time or are out this cycle xx

Well, bfn this morning I took 2 million pictures trying to find a line. Nothing

Sorry to hear girl......

I swear getting your period on top of the -ve makes it worse....it's like your bodys way of saying "Oh I'm sorry....are you feeling down because your not pregnant...here let me help by kicking you in the stomach a few thousand times" HAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA.....

 

[omgbaby]

Lmao!! Exactly!! I've come to the conclusion AF has it out for me! Thankfully shes not due til the 12. So she better stay away.

 

[ClandestineTX]

CD 31 and 15 DPO here and still BFN and nothing in the way of symptoms in either direction. I finally have a small amount of tightness that I expect to feel like cramping in awhile, but still technically not out... and the waiting continues!

Appt went well today, baby measuring right on schedule, and we got to hear the heartbeat 123 bpm. Its actually starting to seem real!

 

[MzImpatient]

I'm officially in the 2ww
Hopeful, will you change my test date to the 20th? chem messed up cycle a bit and I o'd early. But, I o'd on both sides so if this is my month it might be TWINS!!!!!!!!!

@Ruskiegirl. My hubby did FertileAid for several months. You can get it online or have a drugstore (like Walgreens) order it for you. I have heard great things. Unfortunately my DH had to quit it after a couple months because strangely he started developing food allergies that he never had before while taking it. After quitting it they went away again. Very bizarre, but I'm sure it's a freak occurrence. The company did allow him to send it back and get the $ back though which was great.

Tested for the past while, all bfn. My temps have been down the past few days, but no af.
Seems my first cycle of clomid had made my cycle a bit out of whack.
Just waiting for af now so I can start the next clomid cycle. Will update with a date when I know.

Hello everyone!!! :wave:

I hope it is okay that I join this forum. I'm really looking for support during my journey. Just to share a little about me, I am Deaf, one open tube and both ovaries are intact, very irregular cycles, have no idea if or when I ovulate. In the past, cycles would happen 4-5 times a year with AF on for 25-30 days. The last two years, AF has been happening more frequently, some 25-30 days and others 2-9 days. Very irregular.

I do not have any living little ones yet. I lost my first baby through tubal pregnancy at such a young age, there was really no emotional attachment. I lost my second baby , Charity through another tubal pregnancy 2 years after marriage in 2010. At that time, my left tube was removed. Both babies were left tube pregnancies.

Husby and I never TRIED to conceive nor did we ever try to prevent it. We have frequent enough for pregnancy to happen naturally but since 2010, nothing.

I really want to conceive this year so I am doing everything in my power to do so. I hope to meet some of you and share stories and experiences.

Today I am CD12 waiting on clomid ovulation. I took clomid CD5-9. I have been OPK testing since day 10 following instructions of one of my TTC apps. I have also been charting on fertility friend. If you are interested in viewing my test results and charts, the links are posted below.

 

[RaeChay]

AF for me!

Next test date is July 4. Wouldn't that be exciting?!

Congrats to bfp's!!!
Fx for the rest

Happy everything is going well for you hunni. xxx

 

[lesh07]

Well on cd 4 and af is making her way out. Can't wait to get back to ttc our 6th baby. It will be our 3rd month ttc. On average it takes us 2 years to conceive so max of another 22 months. Lol. xxx

 

[ClandestineTX]

@lesh07, your experience seems to be more normal than what we've all been led to believe. I recently read a few good studies that said couples who don't conceive within the first 12 months, often will do so in the second 12 months without medical intervention. I think it was by a group that was trying to speak out against rushing to encourage ovulation, as a lot of those interventions seem to have a slightly higher than average rate of miscarriage and complications. As with everything in science, there's an ongoing debate that continues with no clear answer on which approach is best. Good luck to you, though - I'm not sure how well we'll handle 1, I can only assume if you're up for #6 that you know exactly what you're getting yourself into!

 

[chulie]

Welcome anointedq....that's quite the journey you've been on so far!!! Wow...good luck to you. From what I've heard from the other ladies...clomid sounds like it will be a great course for you because you just need to ovulate! hahaha.....good luck! Can't wait to see your bfp!!

Lesh I hope this is a quick one for you!!!!! Let's get that number cut down to say....next month??? hahaha.....Fingers crossed girl!!

VERY interesting to hear!!!! good to know though....DH and I want one more but we've agreed if it doesn't happen we're just gonna go about our life.....no intervention....glad to hear that within 2 years I still won't lose hope!!!!

Welcome anoitedq :wave:
Wishing you all the best! My sister did in home healthcare with a guy that was deaf & I must say he was the coolest funniest guy!! Lol

Afm, just got a shooting stabbing pain in like the crease between uterus & thigh. If that makes any sense. Super tired.

 

[pennymarie]

Won't be testing today because I'm pretty sure I haven't ovulated yet...

Wednesday I had an almost positive opk, but then yesterday nothing. Also, all my high temperatures happen to be days I couldn't sleep unitl 3am or so and woke up around 10am....so I don't know if they are accurate

I can't remember if after a positive opk, they immediately go faint again or just less dark? Cause maybe I would have had positive CD25?

 

[pennymarie]

If I adjust my temps, my crosshairs go away....I don't know which one I should do? usually it doesn't make too much of a difference because of the general patter, but this removes all chances of ovulation

 

[melann13]

omgbaby that is exactly where I had my implantation cramps!! As did my coworker. She was telling me about hers (this was after she told everyone at 10 weeks), and I was standing there thinking, wow, that's what I felt a couple days ago... and the next day BFP FX!

AFM backache today. Very uncomfortable. Nurse yesterday tried to convince me that it's just things moving and stretching as baby and esp uterus are growing and pushing other things out of the way, hence my new fashionable intestine muffin top (I've never been SUPER thin, but I now feel like I LOOK chubby and can't button some pants and I've only gained .4 lbs, sooo). Still makes me nervous as I had terrible back pain before my MC, but at that time my baby was only 4.5mm. Now baby is about 20mm and my uterus has doubled in size, so maybe this really is just stretching?? Can't wait to go home and lie down. It also hurts less when I get up and move around which is reassuring. If it was more constant I think I'd worry more.
