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

[FrancoRie710]

Hey ladies! Congratulations to all the BFPers and to all those yet to test!
Im 11DPO today, and not feeling very confident for my own BFP
I think we could say Im having a low day! Ive woken up feeling like I am definitely going to be out for this cycle. Seeing all the BFPs appearing is lovely, but it also makes me feel that the laws of odds are against me (when in reality I know there is no reason why we couldnt get a full house on this thread).
Does anybody else get an emotional dip towards the end of their TWW, or am I just being unnecessarily pessimistic? The funny thing is the feeling low could be down to PMS, which then makes me feel more low as I dont want it to be caused by this! I think I shall call it a spiral of TWW doom!
Good luck everybody xx

Hey there- yes, I get very emotional at the end of the tww (aka the Spiral of tww Doom!). Since I temp, I know before af comes that she's coming because my temp drops. I'll have several days of nice high temps and I'll be feeling great and then (like a few days ago) I'll wake my husband up at 5:15 crying because my temp dropped. Oddly though, when af shows it's not so bad because it's back to CD1 and I'm ready to try again. Hope is the only thing that gets me through; hope that this won't be forever and one day I'll get my bfp.

Morning!

Congrats on all the BFP's. It's so exciting

Not to be 'Debbie downer' but I think I'm out this month. This is much harder than the previous times (this was IUI #4). I just feel this was our last shot as they say anything after 3-4 attempts is futile.

I took a HCG booster injection (pregnyl) twice, last one 7 days ago. I tested out the booster- watching the line get lighter. I did see it get darker once, but I feel the booster was at its peak point at that time of POAS.

As for current SS, I've been crampy pretty much everyday since the IUIs (today I'm 15 and 16 dpiui; 7 dp 2nd booster). Sore breasts- everyday and still. And I'm starving, all the time. I was hopeful these were pg sx's, but with the fainting line (nearly visible this am) I feel these sx's are due to the evils of the pregnyl. I don't beta until Monday evening after work. Still no AF, not even the prespotting I always have. Again- evil pregnyl will most likely delay AF, so I've heard.

I went through the emotional dealings myself yesterday. I haven't told DH yet. I don't want to ruin his weekend. So I'll tell him after the beta results come back, just in the small chance it's positive. I'll deal with the bulk of the emotional roller coaster and just give home the final news.

Sorry this post is soooo long. No one else understands as you ALL know. It feels good to talk/ 'type' it out. Thanks for reading

And congrats again to all these exciting BFP's!!!!!!!!!

I'm so sorry I can't imagine the pain of 3 failed iui's. But you're not out yet. I'm hoping you see that bfp soon, if not this cycle then the next!

 

[burgbrandy]

Well ladies, another bfn for me. there's still time, but i feel out.

 

[mummyto4boys]

It's not over yet hun. Xxx

Help please ladies..!

Last night completely forgot to set my alarm for 6am to take my temp so when I woke up it was 8.30! Took my temp and it was 36.29. I put that into a bbt adjuster and it gives me 36.01. Which do I use?

Cannot believe I forgot to set my alarm today of all days, at the most important time of my chart!!

I'm sorry! I would probably use the real temp but add a note on your chart so if it seems off in a few days you will know why. I know it takes so much off for every extra 30 minutes, but I don't know how accurate it might be since we're all different.

You had a positive opk yesterday. 36.01 or 36.29 would be higher than your last temps. Do you think you ovulated yesterday based on signs/symptoms? 36.29 would be higher than your higher temps and could signal possible ovulation.

Here's my suggestion. Add the real temp. Take another opk today to see if you are still positive, and continue to bd in case the temp was off and it didn't get that much higher today. Sunday's temp will be important because it should give more confirmation. Good luck!

Thank you to all of you.

My opk today is VERY positive whereas yesterday it was only just positive (yesterday lines were same colour, today test line is sooo much darker)

So I don't really know, will put actual temp in like you all advise and just keep BDing and see what happens!

Thanks again ladies.

to the ladies feeling like its not their month, I hope you are wrong and your bfp is on its way. Ttc is such a roller coaster of emotions. Lots of babydust to everyone xxx

That's like me hun. My tests arrived this morning and I caved and tested and it was BFN and I only have 5 days till due on. I am gonna keep trying as i suppose it's not over till AF arrives. x

I also get mildly depressed in my tww. Yesterday I was crying one moment and yelling the next. Everything anyone did yesterday annoyed me. And I try and explain, and say I'm not really meaning what I'm saying. Then I start crying and tell people that its not really me being sad, its just happening

I think I'm going to restrain from testing today. Because I need a little more self-control. I'm still wayy to early to tell. I know that I didn't test positive with me MC until I was seven weeks. I tested weekly up until then because no period...even a doctor's blood test said nothing. Then suddenly a hpt turned positive. My body maybe needs to learn denial isn't just a river in Egypt.

Burgbrandy and lesh and all other people still in limbo:

 

[Mummy to HP]

Mummy to HP - I know what mean, it does get addictive! No denying a digi tho is there? X

I am going to get my digi tomorrow . I don't have my appt at the Drs till next Thurs wish it was sooner so it could feel more real. Mind you I will then only worry till the 12 week scan anyway incase my body is just playing a cruel trick on me.

I think my MIL is onto us. We had a party today and I wasn't drinking and I am sure she noticed as normally at family do's we are sat together drinking the red stuff. I would love to tell my parents and in in-laws but 4 weeks is soooooooo early. Having said that we told them at 4 weeks with DS.

If they pop over this evening I think it will be difficult to avoid telling them, also we go on holiday with them in just over a month.

What do you guys think?

 

[Mummy to HP]

Well ladies, another bfn for me. there's still time, but i feel out.

Fingers crossed for you. Your temp still looks high is this a gd sign? You will have to forgive my ignorance I dont chart so dont know.

 

[burgbrandy]

Yeah, its a good sign, but i seem to always have great charts. Many triphasic and temp stays high even the morning that af shows. So i dont put too much stock in my charts.

 

[pennymarie]

Can't rely on symptoms....can't rely on charts....

Seriously. Is anyone here in the research field? Specifically biochemistry? Because you need to lead the movement to find us a way to 100% know...like 2DPO. At most.


I just bought some opk for later this month. I just feel so not pregnant. I'm super hungry and my back hurts...I know every pregnancy is different, but I remember how being pregnant felt, and I wasn't hungry at all.

 

[pennymarie]

I was going through 7DPO hpt on countdowntopregnancy.com...and I saw someone with the name burgbrandy.....seems someone stole your name

I try and remember that we really should be waiting until after missed period. So I like looking at charts and galleries of people who got negatives before positives.

It's totally up to you but for me personally I would tell my parents and DH's parents pretty much as soon as we found out! We have done the last twice. The reason for me is if anything did go wrong, we would tell them anyway and they'd want to support us so I see no harm in telling them early. Plus I think I'd be rubbish at hiding it! We probably wouldn't tell anyone else until a bit later though.

It's a personal thing though and everyone feels differently about it.

Let us know what you decide! x

I'm doing my digi tomorrow as well!! We told everyone straight away last time, this time were trying to keep it a secret, thinking we may have to tell parents and in laws tho, as we have a few events coming up that will be hard to hide. I think if we were going on holiday we would tell them, be more relaxing for you, not worrying about making excuses and not letting it slip.

It was probably me! Lol! I hang out on countdown too.

I Know we should wait, but i just cant help it!

 

[Kwaggy]

Has anyone else been told not to orgasm during the 2ww?

 

[burgbrandy]

Nope. I've always heard sex is fine during tww.

 

[Kwaggy]

My RE said a female orgasam during the 2ww can interfere with implantation. Seems odd to me, I always thought a female orgasm helped the "baby gravy" get to their destination
