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

[omgbaby]

Nikki - sorry about your bad dream.
It could be too early but since I'm not sure with starting pills idk..

I've been thinking, I had sex with my ex on the 23 which according to ovuline was the first day of yellow. Then a few days before spotting let's say Wednesday-Thursday I had some mild cramps on my left side, like ovaries. It was enough to get my attention when I hadn't been paying attention until then... Then Saturday afternoon around 11 I started having mild cramps, like at any many they'd be horrible af cramps. So I took 2 midol. Later that day around 2 is when the spotting started. And I spotted up until early this morning. I read somewhere ib could last 6 days... And that would've been 6 days.. And when I say it was just spotting I seriously mean I could've kept the same pad on the past 6 days & still not have had to change it. But of course for hygiene reasons I didn't! Lol
And at some times it was more like brown cm... Gosh idk... All I know is I'm driving myself crazy

Prowife: I got a bfn today too . I understand about being upset.

Omgbaby: Keep us updated! Hopefully it goes the way you want it

Question.. I went & bought 'Clearblue Plus Pregnancy Test' just the regular blue dye test. Not digital. I realized once I got home that it was the blue dye. Lol

Anyway, I opened both pouches and they both had a faint line in the result window. Nothing was in control window just a faint line in result window. Now I don't know if I should trust the test or say they are defective?

I took one anyways, hadn't held it or anything & I didn't even pee for 5 seconds. Lol it came out negative. I'm gonna do another one in the morning with fmu but I just wondered if you guys ever had or heard of someone open the pack with that faint line already there

 

[ProfWife]

I think that sometimes you can see the dye...but I'd be skeptical.

I've been able to see the pink faintly in the control area before.

 

[Hopeful2014]

@omgbaby I'm good. I hope it turns out how you want as well. It's so hard to tell which one it could be. Keep us updated.

@nikkilucky77 I hate bad dreams that feel so real and still leave me feeling sad when I wake up. I'm glad he was there to hug you. I'm sorry about the negative. I hope af stays away!! Good luck!

@ProfWife I'm sorry about the negative. What dpo are you?

 

[newbie2013]

Hi Ladies,

I've been keeping up with posts but not posting much myself because I'm trying to keep my mind as clear as I can from ttc right now. It isn't working too well, but I'm trying!

omgbaby, I've been wondering about you as well, so I'm pleased you popped up, but I feel for you having these concerns as well. Also remember that you've been going through quite a stressful time lately and I know with me that always impacts my cycle.

Nikki and Profwife, I've got my fingers crossed for both of you. Hoping to read some good news when I wake up tomorrow morning.

Afm, I had some light spotting yesterday on CD26, which turned into more today and a light flow. I'm assuming this is AF, but it annoys me greatly! Of course because I'm not pregnant, but more so because it was a 26 day cycle! My cycles have varied between 25-31 days since I started tracking on ff. And now that I'm not temping, I don't even know when af will arrive. Temping doesn't help too much except that my temp plummets on the day af will come. No point tracking lp because that varied between 11 and 15 days! I feel all messed up and all over the place. DH tries to be supportive and tells me not to worry and I'm not worried as such but I'm frustrated. I wish I had some kind of reason for the varying cycles/lp... and of course, for not getting pregnant!

I've said it more than once, I'm so pleased I found this group all those months ago. I really don't have anyone I can talk to about this stuff and I sometimes need to vent. We've now been either actively trying or passively trying (ie, not temping, but dtd lots!) for over 18 months and I'm beginning to feel like it is never going to happen

 

[newbie2013]

Wow, I just reread that after I posted it. Sorry for the downer... I really am grateful to have all of you in my life. I hope we can continue to support each other like we have done these past months.

 

[athena87]

Newbie I got my bfp after 19 months. It will happen for you, you just have to keep the faith that it will happen for you. Have you had testing done to check your hormone levels and what not and has your dh had a sperm analysis?

 

[newbie2013]

Thanks Athena! See what I mean about the support?? I've had my hormones checked twice (at different times) and all good there. Dh had his sperm analysis and it wasn't perfect but the doc said it wasn't bad and she didn't think there would be a specific reason why not based on there. that said, she does want him to go to a... I forget the name of the specialty... doc to see if there's anything we can do to boost his boys up a bit. Hopefully he'll go soon. After that, we'll consider other options.

Thanks again Athena...

 

[athena87]

You're welcome. Just so you know my dh's count was at 9 million in August and they want it at 20 million at he lowest. He took fertilaid the month we got our bfp. A lot of people got results within the first month of using it. It definitely can't hurt.

 

[ProfWife]

My hubs took the FertilAid for 3 months and we're still trying...I wish it were a cure all. I stopped taking it, too. A year on it with no positives...not worth the expense.

I'm not holding out too much hope for this cycle. I think I'm about 13-14 dpo. Taking one last dose of progesterone tonight and testing tomorrow morning.

 

[athena87]

I'm sorry. I wasn't saying it was a cure all but it did help us. He had a low count and my doctor basically said I wasn't going to get pregnant without an iui or ivf because I have pcos also. But here we are.

 

[ProfWife]

Oh no sweets...I was saying I wished it HAD worked for us. Sorry I wasn't more clear (writing too quickly and didn't reread). I'm glad it does work for some! It might have been the reason his counts came up but he went off it and they stayed up.

 

[athena87]

I'm glad his count is up. Has your dr figured out anything yet or are you still in the unexplained? I hope you get your bfp soon. I know how hard it is to wait.i

 

[Hopeful2014]

@newbie2013 Don't feel like you are being a downer. We are here to listen and offer advice, comfort, and friendship. I'm so sorry you are feeling this way. It's unfair and upsetting. TTC sucks whether you are temping or not. Temping is good just so you can have a general idea of when/if the temp drops, but I know it can be stressful too. I know it's so frustrating when you are not sure when to expect af. We will always be here for you. I really hope your cycle regulates and that you get your BFP soon.

@ProfWife I'm sending loads of luck for the morning. I hope it's a BFP.

 

[newbie2013]

Thanks for the support, ladies! I'm feeling a little better this morning, but still a bit bummed. Thanks for the tip about fertilaid. I don't think I can get it here, but I'm going to the UK in summer so I'll try to get some there. Although, his count was fine, it was the motility and abnormal forms that weren't so great (not bad, but not good either). Not sure if fertilaid would help with that. Hopefully he'll go to the doc sometimes soon to see what the doc says. In the meantime, we'll get back to dtd as soon as AF departs

 

[nikkilucky77]

Newbie: . I understand hun. I don't know what I would do without all of you. I can't talk to anyone else about this stuff and sometimes it is so frustrating! Like why can't our bodies just WORK?? I hope next month is better for you and af leaves fast!!

Prowife: I am still hoping af stays away...any sign of her yet?

Hopeful: Thank you for the kind words. I am not giving up...it will happen one day!!

Atm still no af but I didn't want to test today and be disappointed. I am going to try to hold out until Monday to test again. Ovuline tells me that today (Saturday) is the day. On another note, my hubby has been eating healthier and lifting weights again so it is making me feel like I need to do more exercising too. I am hoping that maybe that will be the ticket for a bfp soon!

 

[Lazydaisys]

Newbie I'm up then down then highly sensitive and all over the place.

I would have been my day 40 today (usually have 28 day cycles) but today I am back to day one. The cramping is terrible. Good job I only have one christening two party's and a meal to attend today!

The good news is my body is not completely broken.. I have a day one!

This cycle I will have my second iui with clomid. Here we go again.

Thank you so much for your continued support it really means a lot to me xxx

 

[ProfWife]

It was another BFN. So, just waiting for AF. It normally starts within 2 days of stopping my progesterone. On to the official year and a half mark.

One doc said it was low progesterone. So, I'm on the supplements from 3-4 days post ov for 10 days. Then I have to test if my period hasn't started yet. I've been on this treatment since November. We found out during my December cycle that my Day 21 counts went from 6.7 to 19.4 with the treatment. So, the doc is fairly certain this will help. He thinks I also have mild chronic fatigue syndrome. So, I'm being treated for that as well.

Other than those...we are unexplained.

 

[Hopeful2014]

@newbie2013 I hope af leaves quickly! Do something nice for yourself today. You deserve it!

@nikkilucky77 I hope af stays away! Getting healthier is bound to help with ttc and just feeling better in general. You can motivate each other. It's always easier when someone else is doing it too. Good luck!

@Lazydaisys I wish it had held off so you could get through the day. It's the worst when you have so much to do and feel terrible. I'm glad you can move forward with this cycle and with your iui. I REALLY hope this is the one!

@ProfWife I'm sorry about the negative. I do think that's a big improvement for your day 21 counts. I really hope it's the key and that it brings you a BFP really soon.


I saw a thread on here called "I need success stories..." and it's from ladies who were all sure it would never happen. It took a long time for many of them. I thought it might be helpful as I liked reading it before. Click here to read.
