Need some buddies 1dpo, its a waiting game!

[laustiredttc]

Heather i'm really happy that your feeling very positive. Sometimes its like a huge weight has been lifted and it feels great. Hope you have a lovely time with your family huni

Rachel i'm sorry it turned out to be a you might have implanted late huni so try not to get too bummed out. I know you dont want to hear it but your not out until she shows her face. Sending you lots of hun

 

[laustiredttc]

oh i'm 3dpo there is the teeniest amount of pink cm now on tp. I am still having slight pains in tummy. Only thing is though my temp seems to have stopped climbing at 97.90?

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

awww guys, thanks...staying positive or thinking positive is the only way to be happy. Life is too short to be sad.

Rach-FX for you still...i'm just a bit worried your temps are still up from the progesterone suppositories. I'm afraid that is what is keeping you from bleeding? I pray you just implanted late though and it's taking time for the hcg to build up. I'm just trying to help you hun.

Laura-not sure why your temps have stopped. Maybe they will go up more soon. Fx they do and symptoms sound good hun.

ok, so just went to bathroom and had a little glob of mucuous so if I had temped this am I think I'm assuming I still haven't O. Hubby has tonight, so maybe we will try to dtd before my parents get here. I am sick so we won't be kissing, since I don't want him to get sick.

good morning ladies
rach, so sorry for your bfn..... hoping af stays away, seems like good signs that you have had no signs, eh? gl tonight/tomorrow/this weekend. keep in mind that (currently) you can still drink - she can not! ha!
heather, i like your approach! it helps when we feel good about ourselves - working out, dressing nicer, showering (me, ha!) - hope you feel better soon, see if you can get one last try in and see where it takes you.
laura, i think the temp thing is normal. some of it is due to the thermometer, some due to your body. notice my chart the last 7 days? crazy! but i know (for me) how significant the swing can be if i dont take my temp right away, even while i'm still drowsy, so maybe you are just excellent at it. the number doesnt matter anyways, just that there is a shift and it stays elevated.
afm, cd7. this week went by quickly. we are going to his mom's house tomorrow, so i'll be able to temp in the morning. i like to see it bottom/balance out before O, but that wont be til next wkd anyways. oh! and we had sex last night - but it was like a scene from a romantic comedy, where you expect the guy to fall on teh floor at any time, or a dog to come "watch" - he had to do a lot of balancing with the bad ankle, and i did a lot of holding still. hehehee. whatever gets the job done. and he's in for trying again, he's just not convinced his "men are up for the job". i told him not to worry cause it takes 72 for sperm to be made, so these guys are ok - it's the ones 60 days from now (being made currently) that might not be 100% hopefully we wont need them!
happy thanksgiving to y'all. i will def have an ipad nearby, but if you guys are busy, i hope you enjoy your days hugs!

*72 days (for sperm)

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

mirolee-glad you got to dtd...sorry it was still awkward. Think of how awesome the first time will be after he gets all healed and better! You guys are gonna tear it up!!! lol I'm sure I will still get on the computer, I get on it everyday.

 

[Brayr08]

Heather, I'm thinking the same thing. I have also read that the prometrium can make you feel sick (but that's usually when it's taken orally). Stupid stuff anyways. I've decided I am not testing anymore. They're gonna do a blood test next week anyways if AF doesn't show up, so what's the point.

Mirolee, sometimes funny sex can be more fun then serious sex. I love it when we laugh.

Laura, I hope this is it for you. It'd be so nice for you to not have to go to the FS.

 

[HWPG]

heather, is is your birthday?@!??!
happy birthday lady!

 

[HWPG]

ok, guys, if you need a good laugh:
pregnantchicken.com
it is THE funniest website, the way she says things, how real she is... i love it and have never had pregnancy/birth/postbirth etc experiences, but i'm still laughing!

 

[laustiredttc]

hey girls we dont have it over here but happy thanks giving

happy birthday heather

Mirolee i love funy sex so glad your hving fun with it

rachel its good that your getting a blood test hope the good luck stays with ya girlie

afm, not much really just some slight pain still near ovary, boring!! its mine and dh wedding anniversary tomorrow and he managed to get the fri off. So i will be travelling from the families to go pick him up. Gonna be a long 8hour journey but will def be worth it.

Did i mention that i have my follow up fs app next thurs? Well i am mega nervous i just hope she can give me some good news fx

 

[Brayr08]

What is the follow up for? I'm sure it'll be fine. It is sort of scary to see what they have to say, but I'm sure it will all be positive. Don't you guys get a free shot at IVF over there as long as you're a good canidate?

 

[laustiredttc]

hey hun its just normal procedure to meet up with the fs and discuss the findings of the op. Just a bit nervous incase she gives me any bad news.

Its starnge because over here its a lottery postcode as to whether you qualify for ivf or not. Also we have to have been trying for at least three years before they offer you it.
Hopefully we dont have to go down that road. fx

 

[HWPG]

THREE YEARS!??!! i would need emotional counseling (um, sometimes i do now, but thats another post.....) how can they dictate that as a timeline? wow, that is super frustrating - SO hoping that is not where your journey takes you!

 

[laustiredttc]

Thanks mirolee. I know its a very naughty thing to do but i have told them that we have already been trying for 23 months so i know the fs will say try for another 6 months as after the op app chances of conceiving increase. So really its only a year we would have to wait. I know thats long in itself but nothing in the long run i guess

The onny thing is because we are moving on the 10th dec i have to re-register with another fs so that will prob take 6 months to get into the system properly anyway.

Things we do hey girls

How you ladies today? Got my 8 hr car journey today nd really NOT looking forward to it

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

thank you girlies for the birthday wishes....kind of sucks i have to celebrate it today along with thanksgiving. I just wanna relax! But I have a dinner to prepare, etc.

rach-i pray next week you get a positive blood test result. Have a great thanksgiving! Hope you get through the family stuff alright. That would totally suck if you got your af today. Hope she stays away for 9 months!

mirolee-hope you have a great thanksgiving as well.

laura-i hope you don't get any bad news from the follow up. Ihope it's good news and you are almost ready to implant in a few days! I think after getting cleaned out and your timing you have a pretty good chance. FX!

afm-cd20 and itemped this morning...i don't know if it's because i O or i'm a little sick but i haven't had a fever so it should be O shift. It was 97.73...yesterday I didn't temp cuz I woke up so early and stayed awake....the day before it was 97.1, so I either O cd18(tuesday)or cd19(wednesday)..we dtd lastnight while I had a freakin migraine... ugh. I am better now. Still a little on the sick side...and we went out to dinner lastnight with some friends and boy did my littlest daughter behave badly. I got fed up and cried in the restaurant....as badly as I want another baby, when they act like that, it definately changedf my mood and mind on that matter. This is my last month (cycle) trying girls. I mean it...I don't really want to have to go through any more temper tantrums in public and everything is fine and great right now with the 4 of us. This is my last shot, so we'll see what is meant to be.

 

[Brayr08]

Happy birthday Heather! Whatever you decide to do about TTC after this month, we'll totally support you.

Mirolee, I guess I haven't been waiting that long for IVF, but I've been TTC for longer than that and believe me, sometimes I feel like I really should go through counceling or be wearing a straight jacket...one of the two. You've been trying for almost a year, which is way too long in and of it's self. We'd all be good parents. I hate that we've had to wait as long as we have.

Laura, if I was you, I'd probably say I was trying for longer than I have for that very reason. I can understand why they make some ppl wait for 3 years though. If not, anyone who's been trying for 3 months with no success would be jumping on the waiting list. But for someone like you, who will actually have to go through other medications and procedures to get pregnant(well, hopfully you won't have to...I hope you get your BFP this month), why not let you try this first? It'd save you a lot of money and maybe even some heart ache.

Last night wasn't as terrable as I thought it'd be. For the most part, most ppl (even my B/SIL) tried to avoid the pregnant talk. A few comments were made, but I think everyone was trying to respect Derek and I as much as possable. The only thing that was kind of ouchy was when I mentioned to DH sister (not the pregnant one) that we were fixing our female cat. She said, "Well, she's not a woman if she can't have babies." I think the second it came out of her mouth, she regreted it. I just brushed it off, I know she didn't mean it like that.
Remember how I mentioned I should probably be in the looney bin? Well, I said I wasn't going to take anymore HPT...and I'm not, but I may or may not have peed on a digital OPK this morning. After the alloted time, a big, fat, smiley face was staring back at me. Um....What? I've been trying to find info on whether or not prometrium can cause a pos OPK, but I can't find anything. And I've been taking this stuff for over two weeks, why would it just now give me a pos? I'm calling my FS tomorrow (if they're open) and asking them what they think. I can't believe I'm pregnant. Last night I started spotting greyish brownish stuff which I would think means I'm going to be starting soon. Ugh...I'm sorry ladies, I know, I know, I just can't let this go.

Heather and Mirolee, I hope you have a happy and safe Thanksgiving.
Laura, I hope you have a safe drive.

 

[HWPG]

Hi ladies! Happy Thankgiving. We are at his moms house now but I brought my best friend, the iPad
I would totally lie about how long we've been trying. In fact, if I'm honest with my calendar and timing and opks, we are starting cycle six... But since I went off bc in January, that's what I tell my dr. I didn't know anything about my cycles, temps, opks until may... I just thought you have sex, you get pregnant. Now that Im more informed, I looked back at my cycles... Um, yea, I was stupid. I was prob off by a week of my fertile time each month.
About three years ago, I fell out of faith. I still believe in God but I don't go to church. I have to say, though, since signing up for this forum and being on this thread, I,ve really gotten back into praying. I pray each month for all of you. So, today esp, you are each in my thoughts and prayers. Hoping for BFPs for each of us, exactly when they are supposed to happen. Thinking of you guys

 

[HWPG]

Hi ismarie! Any update? Rachael? Heather, did you go shopping? Laura, how was the trip? I am headed to do a little shopping myself.... Thought I saw a little ewcm this morning, but it's way too early.... And I won't be home til tomorrow to opk anyways (and won't DTD at MILs house) so nothing I can do about it. Oh well!
