Need some buddies 1dpo, its a waiting game!

Aw, thanks!
By the way, I don't think I ever got an answer...how's your temp looking? Did you ovulate?
 
whoops sorry... well, here is what i put in my journal today:
today's journal entry comes from the letter F - as in: what the f? my temp did not go up this morning - how long can it be between pos opk and temp rise? i mean, i had the pos opk on wed morning - can i ovulate today and see a temp rise tomorrow? it seems like too long... I have attached my opks for the last 2.5 days (wed morning/nite, thurs morning/nite, Friday morning). I was in tears this morning when I didn’t see my temp rise…. i am hoping it goes up tomorrow. really hoping. the bd will be well timed, and my other symptoms would align. other women have said it can take up to 48 hours, so maybe that is how it is this cycle. tomorrows temp will tell. i'm confused and a teeny bit angry at my body, but i'm going to take a deep breath and remember that some of this is still out of my hands....

PS. only the last one is fresh this morning - the others are dry. so i know i had a serious surge, just hoping it produced an egg.
 
hi my girls. sorry i'm only popping in every once awhile.....but i miss you guysand like to keep chec on how you're all doing.

Rach-that is great news and hope your iui went well. FX super tight for you!!

Mirolee-hope you find your temp rise very soon and you did produce something. FX for you as well.

Laura-how did your appt go? Can't wait to hear the dayyour getting your ivf done!

I've been sick and we haven't really been trying...just having sex on a day or two he has off his 4 days in a row. We might have to not even try anymore because A) hubby may have a new position at his work which requires salary pay (one time a month)...or B)if he doesn't get that position, he is looking elsewhere for a job. So, either way I'm screwed. I've never had to deal with salary pay before and I know it's going to take some getting used to. I am just going to have to put money away for the bills due towards the end of the month so we have the money to pay them and keep an eye on what we have left for groceries, gas and any unexpected things or things we don't usually pay monthly, like oil changes, car inspection, car registration, etc. All i know is, if we are ever to try again, i want it to be this yearand no later. My youngest is 4 now and i don't want them too far apart and I am 30. Thanks for listening to me gals, even though I come on here and talk for a day and go missing for a week or more and come back to talk about my problems, etc. I wish you all the best and I will be back soon.
 
Hi heather! (and everyone else too, hehe!)
I'm sorry you've been sick, I hate that. When will you def stop NTNP? I am a salaried employee, I get paid every other week. It's def something to plan in advance for but you get used to it, plus you are super level headed so I'm sure all your ducks will be nicely in a row. Oh my, you're only 30? I feel like an old lady compared to you! I'll be 32 in march and haven't had my first, I think they might suggest a walker for me soon! We love when you get on and hearing updates, no worries about the time in between :)
Rach and Laura, updates please!
Afm, today is cd19 and day five (yes, five!) of pos opks. No temp increase yet, hoping today or tomorrow. The only thing that's getting me down is coercing OH to DTD... He's mostly on board, but it's a little sad when he calls planning our sex "robotic". C'mon, dude, that's not nice. I must admit, though, the last week has been quite more fun and pleasurable than usual! So what's he complaining about? Oh brother. Hehe, I'm sure it will all work out in the end. Hugs to yous!
 
hey ladies :hi:

rachael, i really hope this is it for you hun keeping everything crossed for ya :)

Mirolee i have had cycles exactly the same where the opks are positive for days on end, i dont know why they do that hun just keep up the bding until you get your temp shift

Hey heather, I hope the job front gets soreted with your hubs fx and it does happen for you this year so that the lo will be close in age to your little girls :)

Afm, well not really sure what cd i am girls as i have not been temping, using opk's or anything, just bding and hoping for the best really. The app was ok, gp going to refer me to new fertility specialist. Had my first acupucture session today and it was awesome. Going to have two sessions a month so one for my follicular phase and one for my luteal. Also just looking for a new job as well right now so hopefully will be in one soon fx
 
Hey Mirolee! Did you ever get your temp rise?

Laura, when do you get to meet your new FS?

AFM-Nothing really exciting yet. I've had a horrable cold, but I think it's on its way out the door, thankfully. Tomorrow I'm going to start taking pg tests just to test the trigger shot out of my system. Hopefully those suckers never go negitive. :) Hope you girls are having a good week!
 
i was JUST about to get on and say hello to you gals!
rach, i'm anxiously waiting and hoping and praying for you!
afm, i'm on day NINE of positive opks, what what? i've kept each one to compare, and showed my honey just so i'm not thinking they are pos and they are not - but those bad boys are dark dark dark! oh well, we're still getting it done, actually more than ever, it's been pretty awesome. and he's being SO understanding, i just want to squeeze him! i think if nothing happens this month, i'm going to try a modified SMEP plan - like 2 days on, one day off. i know we havent done a SA yet, but i like that plan, it sounds good to my head and body. hopefully, we (you guys and me, not him and me) wont have a "next month" ! hugs to you ladies :)
 
Rach. Update. Now, B. ;)
Afm, I think I ov'd, but not saying it for sure right now. The other threads I'm on have 24bfps this month, and like 6-8 in the other one. Crazy. Hoping I get to be one also, but I got many days of waiting until then. GL to y'all!
 
hey gals, well think im cd22 not sure just been bding every other day. No symps at all so pretty boring here.

Rach, fx for you huni, not sure when seeing fs yet? More waiting :(

Mirolee, thats crazy that you have had 9 days of high opk's. Like you say here is hoping for us all this month :dust:

I'm trying to be more relaxed about things and whilst i havent been openly talking about the whole ttc thing it is still there in the back of my mind. Just looking for jobs and hoping to get one to keep my mind on other things :shrug:
 
Hi! I'm not sure what's going on with my opks, they have been pos foreverrrrrrr.... We've been very active and it's been great, and the ridiculous opks are kinda making it easier cause we can't even worry if we are timing it right or not, ha! GL Laura, you should be close or in the tww! Hugs :)
 
Hey girls! Nothing too excited to report. Just feeling a little down. I'm 10DPO and I feel like it didn't work this month. In fact, I'm feeling like IUI's aren't going to work at all and then we're going to go in for IVF and that won't work either. I just have this empty feeling that I'm never going to get to be a mama. I guess I'd rather feel this way than get my hopes up and be dissappointed. I'll still be sad if AF shows up, but at least I'm like 99% sure she'll show her ugly face once a month until menopause shows up.
 
oh rach, honey, i'm so sorry you feel this way. i have no words, just letting you know my heart goes out to you!
 
Thanks for being here for me woman! This is such a hard road, I don't know how I'd ever keep going if you guys weren't here.
 
you are an amazing woman. i am not trying to be a downer to anyone, but there are just days when i want to crawl under my covers and not come out (sorta feeling liek that a little today, having a mopey 'poor mirolee' day). i think you are SO strong and courageous to continue to fight the fight - and i'm here for you every day, any time!
 
Mirolee i know what you mean about just keeping active. That's all what we have been doing as well. Just keep doing what your doing hun :)

Rach, oh huni i have been having days like that too, even though i have tried being more relaxed. I actually typed into google the other day, 'never going to get pregnant' and read most of what came up. One thing i do know is though that countless times women were 100% sure they were "out" and got their bfp that month so dont give up huni, we're right here behind you.

Ps if you do have to go down the ivf route, i'll be there with ya hun so you will have a liccle buddy. But hopefully, with a little bit of luck, prayers, wishes and a whole heap of determination we will all get our bfp's before it comes to that fx
 
Mirolee-How's your week going girl? Did you ever get your temp change?

Laura-So what are you, CD25? How are you feeling? Any signs of AF? I hope she stays away for you girl so you don't even have to bother with IVF!

AFM-You girls should be SO proud of me. I am not going to test until the day AF is due. I used the cheapy tests for the trigger, but I took my last one on Monday (those tests don't count :winkwink: ). So, I'll take a test Friday, 14DPO and if that's negative, I'll take another on Sunday. If still negative, I'll stop taking my meds and move on to the next cycle. Oh PLEASE be positive!!!
 
hi gals! laura, rach, so glad to hear from you. i love logging on and seeing you posting!
i am hoping hoping hoping for you both. hold out Rach, you CAN do it!
afm, no temp rise yet. FF wants to give me crosshairs, but i'm all "i dont *think* so, FF." we'll keep bd til it goes up, or something else happens. i am all out of opk strips so i am done testing for the month, even if they are still positive, i wont know! OH has been great and keeping up his half of the deal (pun intended ;) ) as someone else said, i'm just waiting for my lazy egg.
 
Girls, didn't test today, even though I wanted to SO BAD!!! I didn't allow myself to even go to the store b/c I knew I'd buy tests if I did. Today though, I'm going to the darn store and I'm buying myself a darn test and by God it better be positive tomorrow!!! hehe

So Mirolee, how long are you going to bd before you decide to take the plunge and test?
 
hi! nice job rach, not testing, but cant wait for tomorrow results. any symptoms to speak of?
afm, i think i ov'd yesterday, eek! we will see what tom's temps are, and will bd tonight. if i did ov, then we dtd day -1 and day -2, but not ov day (because at this point i just didnt knwo when it was going to be) but i'm hoping that those two days are enough and put us in good standing! and you know i dont test.... athough i do have one in-house if the day ever comes. yay tww!
