Need a TTC buddy

[Mrs-C]

I'm 24 on sunday. We do have some good news... we have TWO second viewings booked in - for Sunday Of all the days I wanted a lie in! But hey, maybe I will get a great birthday present - a sold sign!

Still no news on the job. Found another internal one. I will have to wait 6 months once I get one before the pay rise, so I was thinking I would have to wait. But to hell, once I get one - they can't not give it to me because I'm preggers.

Thanks for the boost - I needed it!

glad you are feeling more positive mrs-c. also exciting that you have 2 second viewings...gl!

I'm 26 , 27 in december, my OH is 28, 29 in january. I'm feeling a little blahhh today, not really sure why. I am not having any symptoms other than being super tired. Not sure that I could call this a symptom as I think I am always tired. I just learned today that my uncle from california is coming out to visit tomorrow. I haven't seen him in years, I'm pretty excited about that, so I think I will spend the day saturday with him, my grandparents, and my parents. It will be nice to catch up. I have two friends with birthdays on saturday as well so will probably do something in the evening saturday with them. Once again it's going to be a busy weekend. I'm trying to gather up all the stuff we no longer use and is just sitting around collecting dust, and have a garage sale or giv it away. It is quite the project, but since my dh gets home from work much earlier than me he has been doing a kick ass job of de-cluttering.
Just want to let you ladies know that I am crossing my fingers that you get your BFP's and we can all be in first tri together!!! I'm not sure that I can move over without you, so I am sending tons and tons of baby dust your way

That's super exciting about the viewings. I am so jealous, I wish we could be selling. It unfortunately is not a possiblity for probably years, unless of couse we came into a large sum of money, don't think that will happen though FX you get sale this weekend

Congrats to you both! It's great news.

No news for me on the job - it's not looking hopeful. The offer didn't come on our apartment. We have another viewing tomorrow and a sort of second viewing on Sunday. It's also my birthday on Sunday. DH has plans for Sat, Sun and Mon. I'm being spoiled. As AF was due Sun/Mon and with the job, we didn't try this month. Didn't want to be dissapointed on my birthday when she showed.

I'm feeling low all around. I may even have to go to WTT

No. Ooooh, no. Nope, no no no.

That's not the right attitude

You'll be fine, honey! You're just having a difficult month- and we all do get one every now and again. My cycle was a mess in June- do you think this made my wedding any less brilliant? Nope, not a chance.

Some will get a BFP this month, some others next month, some others in September, and so the story goes. I understand those can get one agitated- still very happy for your buddies - but at the same time making you ask 'when is it going to be my turn? Well, I'm sure both membas and dragonfly had the same question and agony a month ago And after your some others will have the same agony, but share your joy at the same time.

So, Mrs-C, Babydreamer, Minnegirl and all the rest of us ladies, I'll repeat again, the line is getting shorter Grit your teeth and stand for a little while longer.

LaRockera - thankyou! I woke up this morning to find the had got me & i was so upset, then I read this post & you made me feel heaps better - thankyou

I really thought I had it this month my bbs have been so sore & I didnt have many other symptoms & AF didnt arrive as normal, but I guess the Maca did its thing, I had read that it can make your bbs sore & help regulate your cycle. oh well, crap . I spent a fortune on hpts this month if DP knew he would go nuts at me.

Oh Im 28 on Sunday.

 

[MinneGirl]

Awwww, BabyDreamer! I'm really sorry Obviously, we all know how you feel! And we've all spent a fortune on HPT's, so don't feel an ounce of guilt over that either! In fact, I just POAS (even though I shouldn't have) and of course it was negative...but hey, once you get that urge, it's impossible to stop

BabyDreamer, maybe this month you can try OPK's...just to make sure you're timing it right. I really recommend the ditital ones, as then you don't have to interpret the results. If nothing else, it gives me peace of mind each month that we aren't missing the prime time...

 

[BabyDreamer82]

I have just been looking online for more opks, i did try them last cycle but i never really got a +, i think i will try digital this time & Im also gonna give preseed a try. Ive just been reading about using fresh egg white but i dont think i could do it, the idea kinda grosses me out!
Sorry bout the BFN, it always dissappoints even when you know its too early.

 

[LaRockera]

Babydreamer, I'm glad I could help a bit though be sure I'm struggling to practice my own preaching

Minnegirl, I stubbornly refuse to use hpts. I'll only get them if AF is late- as it never is. In fact, I think I know my body a bit too well- if I get normal AF symptoms I might just think I'm out again, although I know that sometimes AF and preg. symptoms can be the same.

I still refuse to temp. I think I got my days right this cycle- although not sure which day I ovulated exactly. But we did three times during my fertile week, so I'm sure I got at least close to the day

On a separate level, I'm trying not to get stressed or agitated but the circumstances (grrrrrr!!!!!!!!!! ) don't help at all.

First, I'm obliged to go through all that obnoxious Greek bureaucracy for my wedding. Then, which is the grrrrr-est of all ) my lovable Uni has decided to mess with me yet again! The refuse to let me keep my supervisor as an external (she's going to another Uni) and they claim their decision is final and basically don't give a $&@* about me I bet all this stress does NOT possibly help

Oh well...

 

[MinneGirl]

Mornin' Gals!

A beautiful day here in MN, so I can't complain My sister is coming into town in about three hours and I can't wait--I hardly ever see her, so it is a special treat when I do.

LaRockera, what does "uni" mean? I'm guessing you are talking about work? Sorry, I don't understand the terminiology in your last post. And you are smart not to have HPT in the house--I bought 40 of them at Costco when this "journey" began, which was stupid I really am not testing now until the witch is late, which like you, she NEVER is.

Just checked the boobs, nope, not sore. Just looked at em, nope, no bigger. Darn it!

BabyDreamer, like I always say to you girls-I hope you treated yourself to something nice when the witch got you. Hopefully now you have picked yourself back up and are rollin' along again. New plan of action, new month

I'm not sure when my plan of action will be for next cycle...that will be the start of cycle 6 (uggh). Maybe try preseed again or softcups? Oh well, I guess I'll cross that bridge on Sunday if the witch shows up. Can't dwell yet!

Alright, I'm off to get some which I still didn't kick, and now don't plan to. I spoke with my Dr, and she said a cup in the am is not going to affect ANYTHING, and to keep life as NORMAL as possible.

Cheers!

 

[membas#1]

Definitely enjoy your coffee!

LaRockera, sorry you are having stresses there and with school. That's a real bummer! I hope it hasn't taken away from your newlywed time!

Babydreamer--I found the digi OPKs my fave as the smiley face is so easy to read But I never detected my surge this past month. I probably wasn't testing enough or at the right times. It caused me to panic over nothing really. The eggwhite thing makes sense but yeah, not sure if i could try it...perhaps preeseed is the way to go. I've never seen the stuff so I don't know.

GL ladies!

 

[LaRockera]

Hey

Uni-university. Everything still up in the air

Regarding coffee, yes, this is exactly what my doc told me. I rarely ever have more than one cup a day anyway, and sometimes I just replace it with a decaf, so don't plan to cut down on it either- if only because altering my life rhythms altogether will stress me out. Same goes for alcohol. I don't really drink, so I don't plan to have juice on my occasional nights our, unless I'm in my 2WW, and after the 4dpo (I hear nothing goes to the embryo until implantation occurs). But once pregnant I won't be touching the thing at all.

3dpo today and so utterly bored. I do have my usual luteal phase first symptom though, which is mood swings. I can't help but wonder if only I don't know my body a bit too well... This feel just another pre-AF period- is it the same hormone that makes you moody before AF and before pregnancy I wonder... It strikes me at such precision that I'm giving up hope almost a bit too early.

Oh well... que sera sera...

 

[membas#1]

hey dont' give up hope this early. your mood swing this early is the progesterone kicking into gear...it gets higher and peaks around 6-8 DPO. the mood swing you get before AF is likely progesterone decreasing to allow AF. I have been getting more mood swings for the last week and I am thinking that's progesterone increasing even more (as my temps are way up there) and pregnancy hormones kicking in too. the mood swings are about the shifts in hormones....but i know wiht my cycles, i sometimes felt moody for almost my entire LP--i blame progesterone!

Thanks, membas!

I just posted a question with aspect to that in the 2WW but I think this very well answers it!

 

[MinneGirl]

Hey Membas..did you ever take your temp during the day? I ask because while my morning temps are always very "normal" in terms of pre and post-O....my day time temps are VERY low. Just curious if your temps during the day are still really high? I've posted this before in the regular forums and nobody ever gives me a good answer. I think my day time temps are way too low. I just took my temp now--96.2 But I'm not charting or temping this month--I simply took it to HOPE I'd see like 98.8 and be happy. Nope, apparently I'm freezing in this 90 degree humidity?

 

[membas#1]

I've been taking daytime temps this week since BFP...high--I'm sure I sometimes took temps in daytime before but don't recall comparison to waking BBT. I think daytime temps can go up or down from BBT...not always higher--but I may be wrong. My daytime temp yesterday ranged from 99.5-100! I'm usually a 97.9-98.2 kind of gal. Not sure if I really answered your question...but you can probably google "daytime temp 96" and see what you come up with. ?

 

[membas#1]

Oh I should mention that my temps didn't skyrocket till 13 DPO--3 days after my faint BFP...at 13 DPO i was 98.8 BBT, before that I was 98.4-98.6

 

[MinneGirl]

Hmmm, thanks Membas! I don't know why my daytime temps are always so low. Very strange. I just checked 97.3 now, so a little better...but doubtful I'm preggo, that is for sure.

Any of you non-preggo gals, let me know if you ever take your daytime temp what it is....much higher or lower than waking temp. I would be really thanksful.

 

[MinneGirl]

OMG, so I I forgot to mention yesterday and today I SWORE I had EWCM, but I thought, noway, AF is almost here, etc. So then today, I took an OPK just to make sure...and sure enough got a with like 4 drops of pee (I didn't have to go at all). WHAT?! So I guess I am about to ovulate AGAIN, or just didn't yet. This is strange!!!!!!!!!!!! I just took a HPT to make sure I'm not preggo and it was as negative as negative can be

The weird thing is, in my psychic reading from Sandra, she said that this cycle would be extremely different from other cycles....and I thought she was full of it. So this is a little creepy! I haven't been charting, so I would have never known! Time to get BUSY again I guess!!

 

[MinneGirl]

Ugggh, feeling crappy I took my temp again this morning and really low--def haven't ovulated still...or maybe I just am not going to this month. I don't get it. I'm not pregnant, I've had two really strong surges of LH, CD 12 and CD 25, both with loads of ewcm, but then no temp rise? I don't know what to think. I guess I just have to wait on the witch at this point and think maybe this month was annovulatory? Why can't this be easier? Feeling really frustrated at my body right now. And just found out ANOTHER friend got preggo on her first attempt....seriously....

How can you have positive OPKs without ovulating? Could you be ovulating like, now? Temp's supposed to dip on ovulation.

Perhaps you should follow my example and not temp for a while? And do call your doc if what you want some peace of mind

Nothing much on my front. Just sending emails back and forth to the university- oh, the joy of it
