Need a TTC buddy

[Mrs-C]

She got me this morning, before I tested. Really dissapointed, we thought we'd done it.

 

[MinneGirl]

Uggh! I'm REALLY sorry Mrc-C. I was So excited to come on here and see your BFP!! BUT, as you know, it WILL happen. It is just a matter of time. I think we have been trying almost the same amount of time. Can you refresh my memory--are you charting and using OPK's?

Keep your chin up and treat yourself to something special today.

I'm not using OPKs or charting. This month we are going to try the every other day, all month trick.

It's 6 months since I stopped my pill and this month was the most cm and the pain with AF has been as bad as it was before I went on the pill (the reason I went on it originally). I can't do this every month so I better get my this time!

How's everyone else doing?

 

[MinneGirl]

Doin okay! I caved and tested just now (5:30 pm) with very little urine and it was of course a BFN! I see other ladies post at 10 DPO, so I thought I'd give it a try. Temps are still high, so I'm holding out hope. Will not test again now until Thursday. AF is due on Wed...I hope she doesn't get me!!!

Would you consider charting this month? The only reason I ask is that it REALLY tells you a lot about yourself. For example, you can confirm that you are in fact ovulating, even OPK's can't confirm that--only tell you it it likely coming. It can also indicate low levels of progesterone (low temps) as another example. I find it really interesting as well as comforting to know I am ovulating and BD'ing on the right days. Check out FertilityFriend.com if you are interested. It's cheap, easy and I think would help you out!

So ladies.. question time.

Would you like a boy or a girl? How many do you intend to have? Do you have any names picked out?

I would be happy with either but would like a boy so the next one would have a big brother. BUT we have three nieces so I would also be happy for a girl to join the group!

We'd like two, ideally one of each.

We've picked Spencerfor a boy and Caitlin for a girl.

I'll answer that in a second, just wanted to start by saying, wow, it seems like forever since I've been on here and it's only been two days!!! But I'm back. I had a great stress free weekend camping and really enjoyed myself!!

Well now to aswering the question. I also truly don't care what we have. I would ideally like to have two, a boy and a girl. My DH really wants a girl. We have talked about names, nothing set in stone, but my whole family has "J" names including myself. My husband has a J name so we figured we would stick with the theme. For a boy, Jack, after my grandpa. We are still playing with the girl name but maybe Jill, Jillian, Jilliana. He he he... Jack and Jill...he he he.

Mrs-C so sorry to hear about your bfn. My dh and I are going to do the every other day thing as well, FX it works. Minnegirl, it sounds like a really good sign that you had that dip in you temps, especially since you have not had one before. Isn't it horrible that even though we know we will most likely get a bfn even if we were pg, because you test to early, that it's still this obsession that must be done. FX you get your bfp!!! and like you said earlier, lead us all into 1st tri and save us spots!!!! Babydreamer, what ever happened with the test???? FX it turned out to be a BFP!!! Please update us. Membas, I know what you mean about becoming obsessed and your right, it truly does put alot of stress on you. Look forward to hearing about your BFP. LaRockera, did the gyne suggest you not try any of those things because it causes a lot of stress, because you haven't been trying long, or what was the reason? I hope your still being pampered and enjoying your time in greece. How long are you staying there after the wedding? Please keep us updated and enjoy yourself!!!!

Hi all, just thought i'll give an update, it was a super nasty evap line the got me Sat afternoon just as i was about to test again - i was so dissapppointed - even tho i knew better i couldnt help but get excited. Anyway Im going to try opks this month so we will see.

On a super exciting note - my little dog had puppies yesterday!! they are so small & look like rats & I cant wait till they grow & be fun!! Oh she did so well, she had 4 & is being such a good mum. I LOVE her

I hope everyone is doing well, I havent had much time to catch up on things lately. Mrs-C Im sorry she got you too. I hate her!

 

[MinneGirl]

Hi Ladies!
BabyDreamer, sorry to hear you got a BFN. I really hope this is your month!!

Well, I'm thinking I'm out again My temps began to fall pretty drastically this am, which means the witch is likely comin' tomorrow. My heart sank when I saw that low temp. I was SO hopeful this month..I really thought we had caught that egg. I don't know what else to try--we are timing is just perfect each and every month. I'm starting to think there must be something wrong with one of us. Uggh.

Sorry for being such a downer. I totally let myself start to get excited.

Hello ladies, BabyDreamer, am so sorry to hear that, it sure is hard, especially when your body plays those darn tricks on you!!! Were you doing any charting, temps, etc? Are you going to be trying any of that this cycle??
MinneGirl, you not out until it shows, so don't count yourself out just yet.
Who would have thought that it would be so stressful and difficult. Just hopin and crossin my fingers my TTC buddies and I get our BFP this cycle.

No im not, I tried temping a few times but couldnt seem to stick to it, I might try again this month along with opks, after being so sure I o'd about cd13 , my 2 last cycles have got me confused.

[LaRockera]

Hello everyone

Weather here is VERY strange, one minute it's boiling, the next it pours down!

We're almost done with our final preparations. Yesterday we had meetings with our photographers and the DJ and ordered the cake. Today I took the groom for a facial cleansing et all he kinda liked the experience but also found it really boring that he had to wait lying there, today nothing

With aspect to ttc, well, not much I can say, apart maybe from the fact that I had an anovulatory cycle on June, and this is why I had no cm. My temps never rose either. So no testing this month. My gyno told me though that this is nothing out of the ordinary, that all women will experience anovulatory cycles during their lives. Now, last month I started temping from my ov onwards, and my temps were indeed high, and only dropped a couple of days prior to my AF.

I will keep you guys update

Hope all you ladies are doing fine!

 

[MinneGirl]

Yay! LaRockera, you're back! Is your wedding next week?! Can't wait to hear about it!

Nothing much new to report here either. The witch still hasn't gotten me, but I'm fairly certain she will tomorrow. I'm not temping this next cycle, giving myself a month or two off of charting. I'm also going to start to TRY to take a more laid back approach to this whole thing. Obviously what I have been doing, hasn't worked

On a fun note, my best friend is getting married on Saturday, so lots of friends coming into town. Now I just need to practice the toast I have to give (in front of 200 people) yikes!

 

[MinneGirl]

Nevermind LaRockera...your ticker tells me when your wedding is!

 

[Mrs-C]

AF is still here, so no BDing for us yet.

On a different note, I have found a job to apply for within my company. It's almost twice the salary and totally different. I'm bored of what I do now so this will occupy my mind and won't be a change in employer, should we finally get that

If I were to get the role (and I'm not sure how likely it is that I will, the requirements aren't clear) then we would put trying on hold for a bit. It would mean we could save DH's salary each month as mine would cover our outgoings. That would give us lots of savings for when the baby came.

I guess I am just trying to make things happen that are a bit more in my control. This would be such a big jump for me in my career, I think it would boost me. I'm feeling quite low with one thing and another, I need this.

It is also in a different office, nearer to home. Much better for when the baby came! So, if any of you have interview or application tips, please share!

 

[MinneGirl]

Mrc-C, best of luck with your job interview!!! I really hope you get this promotion. I understand completely what you mean about doing some things that ARE in your control--as we have all found out TTC is by no means in our control at all I signed up for some fun cooking classes and am scheduling a few trips for us, just to keep living life and doing things I love--and when the time is right, a baby will come along

I tend to be very good at resumes, so if you need any help, PM me. I'd be happy to help you!

Thanks! As it is internal I only have to fill in a brief form. The role closes on Friday, so I won't have to wait long. If I do get an interview, I will be in touch!

 

[membas#1]

Good Luck Mrs C on the job front!
MinnieGirl--I too have decided on a break from temping/charting this month. I needed to take a more casual approach this month--so no temps the last few days. Of course, I'm only on CD 8, so I may decide to temp around O time and after to verified it happened...but my pain usually verifies it for me

I'm still around, checking the forum just once a day and just the threads I'm already a part of. It's helped to back off some...that and I had acupuncture yesterday and she really helped mellow me, and I was able to just cry and talk to her without judgment. The thing I don't want my SO to think is that I'm not TOTALLY THRILLED and excited for this! Because I really am! I'm just dealing with some anxieties right now, some of it related to TTC, some of it related to general health (due to a recent injury my whole body seems out of whack and it drives me nuts). So--acupuncture, chiropractor, and today massage--I'm taking care of ME! And we are off to the coast this weekend to take care of US Some good quality time together to start this journey off right!

Hope you are all doing well. I haven't read back much but wishing you all the best.
