Need some buddies 1dpo, its a waiting game!

Laura, I get really frustrated with temping and OPK's too. I get so obsessed with it and then I get mad when it doesn't do what I want it to do. For example, Friday, my temp was 98.75, then dropped to 98.47 the next day. Dropped to 98.25 the next day. So I'm thinking AF is going to show up any time, NO, the next day it started slowly going back up. It's back up to 98.50 today. What the crap body? I haven't started spotting yet even though today I should be starting my period. I usually always have spotting a couple of days before. Grrr...I'll test tomorrow, but I bet it will be negative. Stupid stupid reproductive organs...

Mirolee, are you pretty excited to start your clomid? I know I always get excited to start something new. We're just going to try on our own for a while. DH decided he didn't really want to ask his grandpa right now for the money, I cried for a bit, but now I'm over it. I'd like to do IVF/ICSI, but honestly, I feel if I'm meant to get pregnant and have a baby, I will, no matter what we do.

Heather, did you test today?

So, I wanted to share a customer's succes story. Her DH had cancer when he was in his early 20's and was told they would never concieve. So, in the mean time, they adopted two children, and were in the process of adopting their 3rd when low and behold, she wound up pregnant. They still adopted the third child and they went on to have their biological child. It's so amazing when that happens. It gives me some hope that it could still happen for us.

yeah, rach....bfn again. Temp did go slightly back up but it did last month too....last month at 11dpo it went down 2 days in a row and af was coming...tomorrow will be 11dpo, if temp goes down tomorrow i know af is coming..so i guess we will see but i'm sure i should've got a bfp at least today.

 

[Brayr08]

Oops, spoke too soon. I just went to the bathroom, and there was the SLIGHTEST bit of pink, like, had to put the toilet paper right up to my face, to see if I was really seing it. So, AF will probably be showing up.

 

[Brayr08]

Sorry Heather. I tested yesterday and it was negative. Maybe we'll be one of the few that will get our BFP late. We can hope, right?

 

[laustiredttc]

Hey girls.

Heather, sorry about the bfn, i really thought this was it for you. I hope the witch stays away though fx

Rach, i know its crappy bout the ivf funds but like you said you can still try al natural in the meantime. hoping af stays away for you as well huni.

Barb, get some rest sweetie

mirolee, yay hoping the clomid works for you huni.

afm, well still grouchy. Really feel like the green eyed monster has me in its firm grip. I stupidly decided to walk the dog the same time as school pick up. Cue, hoards of mothers with babies, children and bulging bumps I'm trying to stay positive but its sooooo hard for some reason and im only 5dpo well thats if i have even O

hey all!
so, today is cd4 for me. i just dropped $90 at cvs - $10 for softcups, $40 for digital opks, and $35 for clomid. thanks for all the encouragement: i'm a little nervous, i see a lot of hair trigger emotions for the next five days - crying to anger to glee to crying. we shall see.

 

[tlk71411]

Please do stick around, Tlk! We've all been on this thread for a while now. It's been a wonderful support for me this last year or so while TTC and going through different treatments.

Glad to have you here!

Thank you, I really appreaciate that. I absolutely love this site, and this thread.

Sorry Heather. I tested yesterday and it was negative. Maybe we'll be one of the few that will get our BFP late. We can hope, right?

Sorry for the BFNS but you are NOT OUT until the comes flying in.
I'm sure I've mentioned this before but with my DD I didnt get a positive until the day my period was due. So there is hope.

Woo you are locked and loaded and ready to go! I'm super excited for you! I hope this is just thing to get your BFP BTW, I've heard some ladies say the clomid made them drier down there, in case no one mentioned that to you lol

AFM: Getting my hair done today!! Going super dark I decided. Feel like I need a drastic change. lol

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

sounds nice tlk...enjoy your relaxation hair time Always nice to enjoy. I love changing my hair all the time. Change is good sometimes.

mirolee-sounds great...super excited about clomid for you. It should work! FX!

rach-we can hope, yes...hope your pink is still early for implanation or something or just spotting but still pregnant. FX af stays away for you.

 

[HWPG]

i have already purchased a brand new bottle of preseed - another $25 - but i love that stuff. and the softcups. i may use them forever.... btw, i know i'm dropping "$" comments in my posts and it's just a small amount compared to what some of you have done, i'm not trying to compare, i'm just feel like $$ is coming out of me like water lately, and i'm whiny about it, which i have no reason to be. forgive my insensitivity if this has struck a nerve with anyone! i wonder, though, if you can insure breast milk, if you can do the same for all the ttc stuff.....

 

[HWPG]

enjoy the hair change! i want to do mine also, but i'm hoping to donate or sell it, so i cant do anything to it for a little while longer still.... but then, it's getting the chop! and maybe something crazy like blue or purple chunk.

 

[laustiredttc]

wow mirolee your really ra ra rahing to go awesome!! Dude i feel like i'm on clomid right now, think my system is f'ckd up big time just blew up on the dh again. I hope you dont get any side affects from it and its plain sailing

Tlk, i hope the new colour works well. There is nothing like a bit of self indulgence to get the feel good factor.

Heather, will you be testing tomorrow?

I think if my temps stay the same or drop then i'm just going to give up on this cycle Officially start my new job Monday, so hoping that will be a nice distraction for a while.

 

[laustiredttc]

Mirolee, i saw a lady recently with short spiky hair and she had it dyed like a silver/blonde platinum colour, which looked pretty cool

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

no laura...i will not be testing tomorrow. Last month at cd11 (which is what i'll be tomorrow) my temp went down, then it went down more on cd12 (day before af). So, if my temp goes up or stays around the same the next 2 days, I will test thursday morning. If not, i'm out and no more testing. i think the new job is the perfect distraction and thing you need to stop stressing so much. I think i need somethingto distract me, seriously. I reallllly think i just need to give up trying and relax, but even if i say i will relax and try to, I just can't...i can't for some reason. I can't quit trying and give up and let it happen if it happens. I've never got pregnant that way...we always tried but maybe not so hard? I know it's hard to think to just do it and try every other day around O, but you think, well what if that 1 da we skip is the day? but i really think we should give it try, i think we're just doing it too much and probly too early in our cycle and by the time O comes, hubs hardly has a good enough count cuz we bd like every day but we've tried now for 11 or 12 cycles and I don't think we did do it everyday every cycle. I don't know....

 

[laustiredttc]

I know hun, i know how hard it is to relax and hopefully mother nature takes her cue. This cycle my ability to relax has completely gone out the window!!! I really hope your temp goes up by thursday i hope both of ours do! I know i need to stress less its just i think because my hormones are everywhere, we have the house going through and the car is on its last legs things are just seeming to affect me that little bit more right now.
I think your such a strong woman heather and you and the other girls have given so much support that i am truly grateful for you all
I was looking back over some of our first posts on this thread and its made me realise how far we have come. We have one bfp in the pipeline, there will be more to come!!!

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

you're right, laura...barb gave us all hope....there will be more to come, we all will get a bfp one of these days soon.

 

[Brayr08]

Mirolee, good luck with the clomid today! How much did they start you off on?

Welp, NOT pregnant. Shocker!!! Oh well. Looks like I won't be having a 2013 baby. I haven't started my period yet, but I had more spotting last night and a BFN this morning, so I stopped taking my meds. I'll go in tomorrow to see if my cyst is gone and if it is, I'll start training for a 5K on Sunday. Although I'm bummed I'm not pregnant, I'm excited to get back in shape.

I hope the rest of your are luckier on your current cycle than I was on mine.

 

[HWPG]

starting 100 mg tonight!

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

sorry to hear that rach...have fun getting in shape and taking a break. hope the cyst is gone!

mirolee-woohoo!! how exciting, it's right around the corner, not much longer! FX it works!

afm-temp went up slightly but have a feeling it will plummet tomorrow morning. Hope not though.

 

[HWPG]

i hope it doesnt plummet either!

You cant insure breast milk-I do know that lol. I'm not sure about TTC but honestly I dont think so. I've never used preseed or soft cups? how do they work? I know what you mean about all the money spent. Just pregnancy tests alone I'm like...."wow thats a lot."

enjoy the hair change! i want to do mine also, but i'm hoping to donate or sell it, so i cant do anything to it for a little while longer still.... but then, it's getting the chop! and maybe something crazy like blue or purple chunk.

I didnt cut it off, I cant. Everytime I cut my hair I cry and cry and regret it for months. lol I wish I could do some crazy colors but it's not allowed in the military. I love how it turned out though!

I think if my temps stay the same or drop then i'm just going to give up on this cycle Officially start my new job Monday, so hoping that will be a nice distraction for a while.

Yay for a new job!! What kind of work will you be doing?

Sorry for BFN hon. I hope your check-up goes well with the cyst. FX it's gone!

afm-temp went up slightly but have a feeling it will plummet tomorrow morning. Hope not though.

FX it stays up!
