Need some buddies 1dpo, its a waiting game!

[WantingChild]

Hi ladies! Mind if I join in? I'm not having much luck on other threads lol.

Anyways, I'm completely new to TTC. OH and I are trying for our first together. First cycle trying. Had neg OPKs on CD8 and CD9, blaring positive and ton of EWCM on CD10, and neg again on CD11. We BD'd on CD9 and CD11. OH was too tired on CD10 (ovulation day), but hope I still have a good chance. My cycles are 23 - 25. So I'm now at 2dpo. For the past few days I've been very crampy, bloated and gassy but I'm thinking thats all ovulation related, I dunno.

My very first TWW Think we did ok this month?? lol
Baby dust to all!!!

hi wanting! welcome! i think you always have a chance, esp cause you DTD the day before, so hopefully some guys were there waiting for the egg. i am 1dpo - AF should arrive ~12/21 ... although here's hoping this is the month she stays away!

 

[WantingChild]

Good luck!! AF is due 12/18 for me.

Hi! It's become very quiet on here, I'm hoping people are busy and have not just bailed.... This morning my temp was low again, but I think it might be a "fallback rise". It's kinda nice to know my body so well, and I feel fairly confident that I ov'd and the temp thing is just variability. The next few days will tell. Hope you all are doing well. Wanting, anything new?

 

[WantingChild]

Yeah I am feeling very lucky that on my first cycle trying I already figured out when I ovulate lol but it will change next month. I'm still feeling a bit crampy and bloated but other than that, nothing new glad it's Friday cause I'm so done with this work crap lol

We had a science fair army work yesterday. It involved making a poster and standing next to it for 3 hours while people walked by. I have to chat it up with the CEO and cso, which I like to do, but I was tired of being on my feet and talking with people by the end. I, too, am done with work for this week.

 

[WantingChild]

That sounds much more interesting than my work. I'm a security officer but my job is delivering mail lmao. It's an easy job tho lol

Hi all! Welcome Wanting! I think I am out this cycle. I got a BFN this morning. Been thinking about the game plan for next time. I think I want to start not trying, not preventing until Feb. or Mar. My mom has started to offer advice and I really can't deal with that. I need to get through the holidays and the first part of next semester.

I pray all is well with everyone. I am pretty down right now, but I don't want to bring anyone else down!!

 

[WantingChild]

Aww I'm sorry but its not over until AF arrives! December is a very busy hectic month for us. Hubby is starting a new job in a few weeks and has to have some teeth pulled, family is coming in for Christmas and now we are trying to get pregnant lol but hopefully other things will keep my mind occupied. I really don't want to stress too much and symptom spot but I probably will lol. Ready to relax this weekend!

Hey HW! Did you temp go back up? When is AF due to show her ugly face?

Laus, mama, how are things going with you girls?

I am CD11, really boring right now. DH and I started bding every other day on Friday. Hoping I O when I did last month so we'll bd the day before and the day of. I also started taking mucinex and I think it's actually helping. We'll see though.

 

[HWPG]

hi all!
i am sad, frustrated, confused, grrrr... my temp has not gone up. got a smiley opk a few days ago, got the bd in, but nada on the temp. so furstrating! so i told OH we're gonna hve to stay at it... looks like another long cycle for me... wth? i think maybe the all over body rash stressed me (not my brain, but my body) out a little bit and has delayed Ov. sigh. stupid body. so AF not due any time soon.... probably Christmas day, you know, for sheer irony's sake... GL this month Bray!

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

hi my girls! sorry I been mia... just been trying to stay away from the ttc thing since it's still confusing me whether to keep trying or just accept everything I have now and let it go. Sorry to hear about the bfn lady, but don't give up and don't be sad. Mirolee-maybe from being sick and everything it put it off, keep testing...remember you can gear up for it but never do...just keep opking and temping and maybe you'll see a shift soon. FX for you, good luck! Bray-glad everything is well thus far...FX you O soon and this is it for you! Laura-hope all is well and going good. Welcome Wanting...I've said before, newcomers seem to get pretty luckyso good luck to you and FX~!

 

[HWPG]

hi ladies
temp is still low. neg opks. going to keep testing twice a day until it gets positive again... i even saved a smiley opk to use as confirmation when i see the dark line. otherwise, just keeping up the bd every other day, minimum. luckily, the ankle is healing nicely and OH seems to be a little more chipper in the bedroom!

 

[Brayr08]

Are you guys NTNP this month Heather?

How did your tests/temps look this morning Mirolee?

Today is CD13 and I got my POS OPK this morning. DH and I haven't bd since Sunday, so we should have plenty of healthy for tonight. We'll bd agian tomorrow and maybe Thursday, just for good measure.

 

[HWPG]

hi! booo.... I am on day 27 of my cycle. I did not ovulate when I thought, still haven’t. Think I should any moment now, all signs point to yes, but we’ll see. I will end up having something like a 45 day cycle, whoa. I think rash combined with cold with low grade fever pushed my ov back by like 10 days. My body is crazy. and it's making me crazy! i did tell OH today that i have beautiful EWCM, so no falling asleep on the couch tonight!

 

[HWPG]

i was trying to explain to OH the other day that we get 12 times PER YEAR to get pregnant. that is it. and some of us (me, lucky! ) get less than that... like 10 or so. oh brother, i dont get it - how is everyone else getting pregnant? ha, the irony!

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

we might try a little bit in ways Rachael...like only on his days off we will bd, and probably only the 2nd day he has off and last day he has off...and no opking, no temping, but after we are done dtd i will make sure my hips are elevated for a little bit and might still use preseed. we haven't really talked about it. So I don't know. So happy you got your positive opk. Yes get to it tonight and tomorrow and possibly even the next day. Fx for you.

mirolee-i hope you get another pos opk asap. i hope it's not one of those cycles that you don't even O. Fx for you as well.

 

[WantingChild]

Good morning girlies! How are you all doing? My symptoms seem to have tapered off. I still have a bit of back pain but I'm thinking that's not really a symptom. I also have thought that I felt a bit warmer than usual, but when OH felt my forehead, he said I felt normal. So, probably nothing. Starting to feel like I'm out, but I'm only 8dpo so we will see in the next week what happens. Good luck everyone!!

 

[HWPG]

Hi gals! Got a pos opk this morning. DTD last night. Will retest tonight to confirm pos opk, maybe use smiley one, and DTD again. Fx for us!

 

[HWPG]

I think you sent good vibes my way, mama!
