Need some buddies 1dpo, its a waiting game!

[laustiredttc]

bray that is soooo true. Wtf, you better get that to prove it wrong

J, very happy for you hun h&h 9 months to you.

hw i would start before hun that way the spermies are fresh.

Started spotting tonight so expecting af to start tomorrow. I hate the first flow (sorry tmi) as i get THE MOST GOD AWFUL PAINS IMAGINABLE, to the point where i am throwing up with them!!!!! It just makes the whole ttc process more difficult as i resnt it even more so each month that i have to go through the hellish pain to start the ttc cycle all over again. I must say girls i'm feeling pretty low at the moment. I just feel as if it will never happen!! I'm not even looking forward to the fs on the 20th. I just feel drained of it all but feel compelled to carry on. Truly in limbo at the moment. Sorry to have a little pity party just need to get some of this negative shi* out of me.

And where the hell is mama? Mama hoping your ok?

 

[HWPG]

oh laus! we get it! i throw up also unless, at the first speck of blood, i take ibruprofen so the pain is only an 8 out of 10 instead of 15! (and a hot shower and a heating pad and tea and a nap) (if i can)

yes, where is Mama?

 

[HWPG]

PS (laus) - you can do it! it sucks today, and i'm so sorry you are feeling low, but have a good cry and glass of wine - then put your big girl pants on, print out all your charts and temps and BDs and opks and sh*t, and tell the FS to get you preggers ASAP!

 

[laustiredttc]

thank you so much hw.

Emotionally feel a bit better today. Still tiny bit of brown blood but no proper af yet? I have the pains starting to come on so just waiting, waiting, waiting for her to rear her ugly head. eughh, it just wipes me out though and leaves me feeling as if i have NO energy whatsoever.

Think i'm going to try the soy iso this month and see how i get on.

Oh and i will most def be going into that fs app saying 'hey bitche% get me sorted out NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!' He he won't really of course but i will be insisting they do a lap and hsg. I have to move in january so i hope they push me through quite quick as i will have to change fs when we move

Question i consider this month my 15th cycle ttc. I started ttc on the 28th aug 2011, think i might have worked it out wrong. Is it 15 or really 14?

 

[Brayr08]

With the way you described your pains laus, I wonder if you have endometriosis...which if you do, I think it CAN be fairly easy to fix. Either the HSG or a lap and they should be able to clear it right up.

HW, have you ever been tested for it? Also, I was looking at your chart and it looks like you got up to 98.1 degrees before AF showed up? (I'm not super sure how to read that chart...even after looking at the key...geesh...how sad is that???) Well, my temp jumped from 97.9 to 98.34, so I was trying to compare to yours. I really shouldn't keep testing. I think I may only be 8DPO now.

 

[laustiredttc]

i thought that too bray, so gonna push for it when i go to fs. Also sex can be painful at times so there are lots of signs that i poss do!

woo hoo huni this sounds great huni. c'mon keeping my fx sooooo tight for you huni and sending lots of to you

 

[HWPG]

morning!
yes, bray, my temp did get up to 98.1 after O! and i cant tell you how excited i was inside! so so excited, like, "this is it!" cause that was the highest! (but alas, no, stupid body tricked me again...). really the only fertility thing i've been checked for is pcos (mild if anything, but really a negative) and i've had my bloods done. i really have no symptoms of anything except painful cramps during af. if i'm being truly honest, OH and i are only on cycle 5 of deliberate trying (opks, temps, smep). so i'm going to be patient a little longer (we've been off bc for a while but didnt bother with keeping track, just kinda thought it would happen... ). (i have told you guys about my XH, right? so my infertility struggle goes back a few years to him, but i have no reason to currently suspect anything with my bf as of yet.) anywho.... i'm totally psyched your temp is so high and i REALLY hope it stays that way! ahhh!
laus, i think you can insist on an appt before you move - YOU are your biggest advocate!
where. is. mama? and sni?

 

[laustiredttc]

hey girls thanks. yes gonna go in there in dictate what i need. Hoping all is well with you ladies.

Af still has'nt arrived. I have the pains, bfn and my temps are still lowish although i think above coverline but that stupid witch still is playing games so today is cd29 and 14dpo.

 

[Snizuitz]

Congrats to JDub!

So, the witch got me again, but we weren't too surprised. Still bummed, but what can you do? Oh, that's right-- Eat a pint of ice cream and move on!

I have an appointment with regular gyno in two weeks, so we're going to do one last month of Femara and just let things happen on their own other than that. I'm pretty sure we need to be doing something else, so I don't have very high hopes for this month.

But here's some good news: I passed my ethics exam which means I'm going to be a LAWYER! All that work and I'm finally going to get to put Esq. or J.D. after my name! I just need to get sworn in.

Ok, so that's one lifelong dream down. Oh, finding my soul mate was another, so there's two. One left: BABY! And then I can start coming up with others.

I promise not to be out of the loop so long this time! Everytime I read this thread, you ladies crack me up and help me keep going. I need more of that. You're all AWESOME!

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

ok, i took a little bnb break...but i'm back! Missed you gals! Just caught up reading and congrats jdub!

cd5 af is pretty much about gone. Just gonna try 1 thing different this month, and not do it everyday. Even though when I got preggo last time, we bd cd10, 11, 12, 13 and 15. I'm positive it was day 15 i ovulated, with the way i've been getting my pos opks. So, this month I am going to cd11 (pm), 13(pm) and and very early am on 15. Still gonna use preseed and softcups and i am keeping my ass in the air for 1 hour afterwards each time! This is going to be my cycle and no one or nothingis going to prove me otherwise! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!

Laus-sorry she got you. Can't wait to find out what the fs says and i'm just glad you have the appt to see one! You'll be on track soon!

Bray-keeping my FX for you! Should know soon enough!

Hw-I'm right here with you and counting the days til O as well. Hope we stay together again!

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

Sniz-very sorry she came for you......but sooooo happy for you passing your exam! That's awesomeness! How exciting! Just remember dreams do come true and for now, focus on your career and get settled in and then comes baby....i'm not saying to stop trying, just telling you not to stress over it, cuz being a lawyer will be stressful enough! lol I'm sure in a few weeks you will find some new answers and then you can go from there.

 

[Jdub1698]

Glad to see you back ladies! This is your month! Fx for you!

 

[HWPG]

Yay sni and mama are back!
Congrats sni! That is so great great!
Mama, I am there with you. We started tonight (cd 7) for every other day. I'm considering softcups. Not sure how I feel about them, but I'll give anything a try! C'mon freakin' September, bi-itch!

I used soft cups this month and loved them. I slept in them all night after BD. Felt much cleaner.

 

[HWPG]

Can I pee with them in? I'm prone to uti if I don't go after sex....

 

[Jdub1698]

Can I pee with them in? I'm prone to uti if I don't go after sex....

For sure. That's why they are amazing. I would lay with my legs up for 30 minutes right after, but then I always have to pee, so I went. The next morning, when I took it out, stuff still in there, which made me feel like I gave all the swimmers every chance I could!

 

[HWPG]

Ok, I'll order them!

 

[laustiredttc]

yey mama sni your back

sni major congrats on passing your exams, hope you get some celebrating in. Sorry to hear the witch got you but you can try again this cycle. Enjoy your success for now hun

mama great to see you here again and i hope you are feeling better? Also that sounds like a pretty good plan of action so rooting for you hun

hw i have bought the softcups this month also so going to give them a try and see fx we get there this month.

jdub hope all is going well hun

bray, whats the news huni?

update: ok well af came late last night so classing today as cd1. I had pains last night in bed but nowhere near as bad as what they usually are so hoping thats those nasty things out of the way. Going to try soy iso this month cd5-9. What do you girls think?

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

haven't heard too much about soy, so can't give you any advice. I am thinking maybe my problem of not conceiving yet has been just bad timing. Like, i would rather at night time so i can lay with my hips elevated for at least 30 mins, maybe an hr and then go to sleep, still laying down with the softcup in. These past few months, hubby has been working about every day that is a good day to try so we would bd in the am when he gets home. and i couldn't lay down for very long to get my daughter up for school and ready and then my day starts so i can't lay down all day. This month hubby has off some good days, so it shall work..i hope.

hw-the softcups are soooo comfortable...i've said before that they are soo unnoticeable and comfy that i forget they are in there! Yes, love them for the fact there isn't any leakage or mess right after bding. I HATE THAT! and the smell....don't get me started!, lol sorry, tmi!!!
