Need a TTC buddy

[membas#1]

I agree with Minne--if you have EWCM then definitely and I'd probably just from here till O every day! That's what we did!

 

[LaRockera]

Good Luck Minne!!!

Hey girls, need some advice, so I have ewcm today(cd12), I will tonight, but do you think I should try again tomorrow (cd13)& the next day(cd14)? or leave tomorrow, BD the next day(14) & the day after that(15)?

Im not entirely sure when I ovulate, but last cycle it was about cd14/15.

My opinion is, if you can't do it every day, then don't. Mrs-C did it every other day and she's preggers now . Stressing over this can have a negative effect, and will also spoil all the joy of the actual BDing. Try to relax, do all you can, and it'll all be fine.

Thanks girls

Well we had success again last night! - this is so much more fun, I actually want to rather than feel like I need to.
Will try again tonight but if DP is too tired then I might allow him a night off.

 

[MinneGirl]

AMAZING So happy for you guys!

Well I just spent a small fortune Ive just ordered some Elevit, Im almost out of folic acid, but thought I will get something with a bit of everything in it.
Ive ordered some digi hpt for the day I get that pink line
And Ive ordered some FRER, from Aussie - we cant buy them here.
So Im all set. Luckily the FRERs will take a while to get here so hopefully I wont have the chance to get tempted & waste them early.


Minne when are you testing? I see your getting close.

 

[MinneGirl]

Can I vent?

Okay, I will

It irritates me when I see these BFP announcements, such as one that got posted titled "Already?!" Where she goes on to say they JUST decided they were ready and hardly had to try and got pregnant. Seriously, if I joined this forum and that happened to me in my "kind of" first month trying, I think I would have saved the announcement post...considering that MOST girls on here are trying our buns off to get pregnant.

End of rant. But seriously. Annoying.

 

[MinneGirl]

I'm all out of hpt's so I guess I wont be testing. Well, if she's late, then of course I will test like a madwoman. Monday, August 30th would be the day I could test

I know!! It annoys me too. Its not fair & reading posts like that can be really disheartening. Especially when people have been on BNB for a while so they know that some of us have been trying for a long time - some for years!
I think if I had gor pg in the first month(without even trying) I wouldnt mention how long I had been ttc. Unless I was asked I suppose.

i think its good not to have hpts in the house during the 2ww, I go a wee bit manic with testing if I have any, & then get obsessed over 'shadow' lines & what not. ooh roll on Monday!!

 

[BabyDreamer82]

LaRockera, where are you in your cycle?? I see your CD29, how many DPO are you?

 

[MinneGirl]

YES LaRockera, I have been meaning to find out if the witch got you?????????!!!!!!! Hope not!!!!!!!!

 

[LaRockera]

Babydreamer, I'm so happy for you, girl!

MinneGirl- Well, yeah! You're absolutely right. There's a reason why there's this warning that reads do not post BFP announcements in this section. Guess someone hasn't been doing their homework... Anyway, good luck to them, but you want your very own baby, don't you?

A bit of an update for me here. I'm now almost 30 dpo, and no sign of AF yet. This would normally be good news, only I've had three BFNs already . First one on what I thought was 11dpo, second on 13dpo, and today, 15dpo, I got a clearblue digi and it said 'no pregnant' but also gave me the little book symbol all the way throughout those three minutes, which means there was a problem with the test (either too much/ too little urine used OR the stick was held with the wrong angle OR the test was faulty). All three tests were with afternoon urine and after a fair amount of liquid drinking. I also messed around with an OPK test, which came back with a not too faint line. Now this could well be traces of LH in my urine, but last time I tried to use an OPK as a hpt (which I know it's not advisable ), it came back all blank.

I've been having on/off PMS-like cramping for the last three days, my temps are still high, my boobs hurt and the migraine was 4 days ago, but after 3 I just can't fool myself, can I? Funny thing is, I tried to mess around with myself a weeny bit today , as the orgasm usually makes AF come sooner, and it didn't work.

 

[MinneGirl]

Wow LaRockera, this is interesting. If your temps are still high, that is a really good sign. Any chance you O'd later than usual?

 

[MinneGirl]

PS..I love my new avatar...it makes me smile it is so pretty

 

[LaRockera]

I have no idea. I don't chart. We just had on CD12 and CD14 and that was about it. It was our 'break' month, remember?

I love your avatar too, then, although that pix of you and your hubby is my favourite .

 

[MinneGirl]

Oh that is right...forgot you weren't trying too hard this month. Hmmm, well I have no advice then The only thing we can hope for is that the wicked witch is GONE for 9!

 

[MinneGirl]

PS...you said your temps are still high...but you aren't charting?

Hey Minne...It's funny you brought this up--my friend took a very long time to get PG, and she finally did and has a healthy lovely baby now. But another mutual acquaintance of ours in the meantime got PG on "accident" (because it's an accident when you leave the condoms on the bedside right?) and went around just talking about how fertile she must be and how easily they got PG--with details nobody wanted. I finally one day said to her that she ought to think about being a little more sensitive to her obsessive talking around our friend given the hardships she was facing with getting PG. She basically told me that she felt bad for her but there wasn't anything she could do and she was happy about being PG and she wasn't going to censor her talk! Are you kidding me? I was astounded. I didn't expect her to hide it but really--to go on and on for months about how easy it was to get PG and every little symptom she was having and talking out loud to her nugget etc ALL DAY LONG...I was horrified for my friend. I felt so bad for her. I talked to her about it once after all was said and done and she admitted to me that some afternoons she just went home and cried because so much PG talk all day.

That being said, when I got PG, I hope I was not disrespectful to others. I am pretty sure I tried not to be too "1st try" in my announcement. I'd like to go back and find my announcement in the BFP announcement to see if I did do that...but I'm pretty sure I didn't with my ladies in my threads. That's why I felt like I needed to ask if I could stay on with my two threads, as I didn't want it to seem like I was rubbing it in. It is unfortunate that people do not consider others in their actions and words. Makes me sad. This mutual acquaintance I spoke of above..you can imagine that we are 2 very different people and most days I find myself shaking my head with her.

 

[MinneGirl]

Oh gosh Membas, I certainly wasn't referring to you at ALL! You are one of our fab cheerleaders

 

[LaRockera]

PS...you said your temps are still high...but you aren't charting?

That's right, I'm not. I had hot flashes and my mum touched my forehead and was worried I might have a fever (even if I'm a 30-year old grown up ), and so I took my temp, both yesterday and today. It was not first thing in the morning, but the previous time I had taken my temp in the middle of the day in a hot sunny summery Greek day in the middle of June, I got a lovely 36.4. Yesterday my temp was 36.8, and today 36.7 (my mum's thermometer is not BBT unfortunately). Perhaps I got fluish, and this is why AF is slightly late?

Whatever happens, I hope it happens soon. September is a tricky month, as we have to travel to Athens to my DH's family and stay with them for ten days, and then back to England. And my fertile week will be in the middle of all this .

Que sera sera, I suppose.

PS. Membas, I have to remind you that we found out you were preggers before you announced it yourself in this section.
