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

[Ruskiegirl]

Yay got my crosshairs today I am feeling so odd tho on the other hand I almost feel like ovulation pain is starting again not sure whats up

 

[burgbrandy]

Hey ruskie! Is there a chance that the severe o pain the other day and more ovary pain now could be caused by a cyst? It might be worth checking with ur doctor...

 

[nikkilucky77]

Welcome new members ...this is a nice group!

Ruskiegirl: Maybe it is your body getting ready for implantation? Good luck!

Yeah I thought that is what it was too but after O happened it all went away , They did not do an US tho at the er which I was really surprised about

Pineapple core? Started today, may be a little late, but giving it a try...
I peeled it & cut into 5 slices

 

[Ruskiegirl]

Well here is my report what do you ladies think ?

I did the pineapple core one month. I think I did it from 1-5dpo, does that sound right? I could go back through my charts and look, not sure what month I did it. I tried baby aspirin after O one month as well (not the same month- that'd probably be a bad idea) the baby aspirin gave me nose bleeds every morning (I'm very prone to them anyway) so I went to EOD, and it still happened, so I quit that too. BFP month I didn't do anything after O except bike quite a bit and run a 5K (which I was out of shape for).

 

[melann13]

I did find it EAandBA, I cut my core in thirds and did it 1-3dpo (or so I thought) that was the same month I tried soy iso, and it pushed my O back a week, so it turned out that I totally missed O with the pineapple core. I wasn't using OPKs that month, only temps and I kept thinking it would go up... it's all the past now!

@Hopeful14 Absolutely! Welcome to the group! I'm sorry you have had such a difficult time. I hope we can offer you encouragement and help you through this process. I'll add you to TBA for now until you know a date. I'm not sure about the cramps. I hope you get some answers on 6/8. Let us know how it goes. Good luck!

@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!


@omgbaby Good for the rise today. I hope it continues to climb! Good luck!

@burgbrandy I'm sorry. I'll update your date, but I still hope af doesn't show.

@MamaPeaches Amazing news! Congratulations! You can see the BFP blinking by your name. Please stick around and update us on your pregnancy. I'll add any information to the front.

@chulie I hope it's not af. Good point about having luck and St. Patricks day.

@ClandestineTX I really hope it's not af. But I really, really hope that if it is that you get the big BFP next to your name next month. I agree about 2013. It hurt so much not to be able to have a baby before the year ends. I think that added extra pressure. It felt not as bad when I knew it wouldn't be 2013 and I might have relaxed some.

@MzImpatient I'm glad o came early. I am so hopeful that you get your BFP this cycle. Fingers crossed!

@littlesteph It sounds like you should be covered. Good luck!!

@kirstyjane13 Good luck! I hope it's implantation as well!

@EAandBA_TTC Let us know what you think about the pineapple core. I have heard a lot of people try it, but I don't know much about it. Good luck!

@Ruskiegirl I wish I knew more about reading the report. I don't really know how to interpret it.

Ruskie: the guidelines are over 20 million sperm is good...they want to see over 50% motility and under 10% morphology. Even though it says normal next to that 15%, they like to see under 10. Basically, the morphology is the bad number...so ur hubby has 85% good sperm, if that makes sense.

That makes sense , Do you think my doc is right to suggest seeing a urologist ?

 

[ProfWife]

I think the 15% normal is indicating that only 15% of the sperm are of normal morphology (this is basing it off of the lab cut off which is 29% on her lab slip).

Our lab did it the same way where it told us the percentage that was normal rather than the percentage that was abnormal.

Our doc said it needed to be 30% or above for "normal" through our lab.

 

[burgbrandy]

After more research, profwife is correct...they want above 30% in ur case. (my original info was from a friend whos hubbys SA used a different standard. Urs went by WHO which gives the number of good sperm.) However i have seen studies that say that the 30% is based off research done like 20 years ago, so over 14% is normal in todays society and more like 4% is more common. So even though ur hubbys 15% is low by their standard, it isnt horrible and u can still conceive with that amount. Of course if he has been refered to a urologist, id see what the doc has to say cuz the higher number of good sperm means better chances.

 

[burgbrandy]

Oh, and af is still a no show for me...just checked cervix. Still creamy and no spotting and cervix is high, firm, and closed. Guess ill see what tomorrow brings!

 

[momwithbabies]

Today is my testing day. I'm 12 DPO and just had light spotting. Don't feel too crampy at the moment, but I bet AF is on her way. I feel like this month has been wasted. I hate that feeling, and what makes it worse is that this cycle was a 40 DAY CYCLE!!! Pretty down right now, but I hope the rest of you waiting get a positive soon. Lets move my testing date to July 12th. Sigh

 

[omgbaby]

Good luck BurgBrandy!! Hopefully its a late implantation dip! I guess we'll see if your temp goes up tomorrow!!

gonna test in am kinda scared as I think its too early maybe, I'll be 10dpo.
But my boobs are killing me, like seriously!! Even my nipples hurt like hell which usually they don't. Fx

 

[burgbrandy]

Good luck omgbaby!

 

[ALiKO]

Wow last time I was here it was like 17 or 18 BFP's, now it's a whopping 21! Wow Congrats new BFP!!! You guys are definitely keeping my hope alive!

Lets hope I can get my DH to go in he hates doctors hehe . If I can't get him to go in guess I will have to let my doc know

I'm sorry. I'll update your date, but I hope it's not af. I know it's so frustrating having to wait to ovulate, wait to test, and it sucks more when the wait is longer than usual.
