Hi! I meant to update yesterday, I got a confirmed digital yesterday! Due on Valentines day! Can't wait to see y'all over on the 1st trimester!

Congratulations!!

 

[KatyW]

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

I am sorry you are feeling down, hugs.

 

[Mrs A]

My next af is due 24th July, this will be my testing date

I found something interesting while doing some research on hCG levels. Let me know what you think about this or if it seems to be accurate based on past pregnancies or other knowledge you have. Seems interesting.

"hCG levels and gender of the fetus

Women who had a female fetus had hCG levels significantly higher than women who carried a male fetus.

This finding is consistent with that found by several other researchers. In a study published by Yaron Y et al in Human Reproduction the authors studied 1,325 pregnant women with singleton pregnancies at 10-13 weeks.and compared different hormone levels including the pregnancy hormone hCG human chorionic gonadotropin between women carrying a male and a female fetus.

These findings may have implications...also on timing of a pregnancy test. If women carrying a male fetus have lower hCG levels then it may be possible that their first positive urine pregnancy test could be delayed because of the male gender."

Date updated. Fingers crossed for a BFP!

How interesting... I am ttc my 1st so cant comment from experience. But my sister has 2 girls and 1 boy. With my nephew she got a positive test at 3weeks and 1 day but was after 4 weeks with both girls. Also my friends who is 25 weeks pregnant found out at 3weeks and 2 days and she found out a few weeks ago its a boy. However they're just 2 cases. Would be nice if we could gender predict as early as our positive test hehe xx

@Mrs A Date updated.

@kirstyjane13 I've heard of different ways of predicting, but I don't know if they work. I'm sure it's fun trying!

Ya..I think we sorta "rested" at the wrong time. Haha. Based on gettin it today it means I o'd at some poin on the 25th or 26th. If I did on the 26th. The last time we had sex was the Friday because my sister in laws kid was here and Sunday I was so sick. So we didn't have sex again until the Tuesday. Which I think means I missed my critical window. I know they say sperm can live for 2 or 3 days but....this happened when we tried for my daughter too. So...just lots more bd. which dh is very much ok with. Hahaha.

Ruskie was anyone able to decipher your results? Have you posted them in the LTTC?? Cause I bet those ladies would have answers? But hey!! Weird spotting is always a good thing. Maybe you don't need those results

 

[burgbrandy]

Well, woke up with cramps and af showed about an hour later. im out. I havent decided what to do this cycle...take a cycle off clomid and up the black cohosh, or take the clomid and still up the cohosh.

Yeah everything is good but morphology he has 15% normal morphology and 85% abnormal

@chulie I'm sorry. I'll add you to TBA for now and update with your new date when you're ready. Lots more bding for you = a BFP next month!

@Ruskiegirl I'm sorry he won't go. Is there anything he can do at home instead of going in or anyway to convince him? I hope the spotting is a good sign and you won't have to worry about it at all.

@burgbrandy I'm sorry. I really don't know which to suggest. I might look into black cohosh more and make a suggestion afterwards. Which do you think helps the best?

@Kwaggy Let us know how your appointment goes. I'm excited to hear!

JUNE , HERE WE COME!!!

Ladies, Remember
1. That it's not over until AF comes
2. That many ladies get false negatives
3. That implantation happens 6-12 dpo
4. That we are here for you no matter what


June is here and we are ready for some more BFPs! Some of us got a BFP in May and we are starting to see BFPs in June! Some of us are continuing on our journey into June and July. I look forward to hearing more about the pregnancies already taking form and the upcoming pregnancies soon to be announced. We started this group in April-all with the same goal-wanting a BFP. Since then we have expanded on that goal. I want us to have a thread where we all know each other and can help each other along. I want to see a BFP blinking by each of our names. I want it to be a place we can look back on in time (while cradling baby!) and remember our struggle and and share our happiness. We will keep adding to the list from May and on until we can see everyone have that beautiful beside her name. Good luck and fingers crossed!

I can try and get him to take vitamins , But in all honesty I think it is his job that affects his morphology cause he is healthy and eats right . He works as a press operator in a printing place and the fumes from ink and heat from the presses I think is what our problem is

Im not sure which works better...this was my first cycle with the cohosh. I could tell it significantly increased my lh surge and it increased my estrogen which u can see by my extremely low temps right before o. I know the clomid has made my temps more steady and steady temps means steady hormones. I only have one more refill on my clomid and im currently without insurance, so im not sure what i want to do. I know they both help. I have a few more days to decide. Im taking the cohosh regardless so ive already taken my first dose this morning after af showed.

Ill be testing june 29 cuz we are going to cedar point that day. Im not sure i wanna ride the rollar coasters cuz ill only be 10ish dpo, so it might be too soon for a bfp and i dont wanna mess up implantation. Grrr. Horrible timing.

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