Newbie to TTC, looking for other newbie buddies! :) 33 ladies, 6 BFPs!!

[Abii]

Hey ladies:wave: well even though we are suppose to be "ntnp" this month we would really like a Christmas bfp so have been using opks and softcups when we bd which I guess is considered trying right? hoping I could join this new thread, you all seem lovely and congrats to the ladies who got their bfps
Anywho now alittle about me. My dh and I have a dd who will be 17 months in 4 days, she is the light of our lives
after a loss in Feb we were actively ttc #2 from may-oct, took a break for the month of Nov and now trying again as of this month so we have been trying off n on for alittle over 7 months. My af is due on Christmas so I will test on christmas eve
My ticker says I ovulate today but my phone app says I ovulated yesterday this is why I wished I still charted I haven't gotten a +opk but I haven't tested yet today, we have been bd'ing every other day so here's to hoping. Gl to you ladies

Welcome!! Of course you can join

Sorry to hear about your angel baby! But hopefully you will get a Christmas Miracle this year! (Hopefully we all do! lol!)

Awh yay, thanks
And yes hopefully we all do. Where is everyone abouts in they're cycle? I am hoping my ticker is right but who knows lol

Awh yay, thanks

I'm CD15, I'm thinking I'll ovulate on Sunday or Monday so CD 18 or 19. But i have ovulated on CD21 before so it could possibly be later than that.

Been trying to BD since Monday but the hubby was having performance issues Got a good try in yesterday though and will continue until Monday so I'm not worried.

Im kinda thinking I already ovulated because I haven't gotten even a slight positive on any of the opk's Ive taken in the last 3 days which if I did already ovulate, Im not sure how good our chances are cause we only bd like 2 times last week
keeping my fx'd for you

 

[toasty6]

My husband and I only BD'd two days before ovulation and then the day after ovulation, and I have a tentative BFP, so you may still be okay!

Welcome Abii
Baby dust to you!!!!

 

[Abii]

That gave me some hope toasty, thanks
And thank you frenchie, baby dust to you as well hope we all get our bfp

 

[Bee Bee]

I am really happy right now! hehehehehe

This might be TMI, but my husband does not have much of a libido. If it were up to him we would BD once a week or less. Me, personally, I would prefer at least 3 times a week. I am more of the male libido in the marriage lol! So, this BDing every other day thing is hard for him. I only make him do every other day for the week or so surrounding my O time, the rest of the month we are on his schedule.

So, we started really BDing last night so I wasn't expecting to try again until tomorrow but he was lying in bed and called me in and we just got another try in. ;P I'm just happy to have another try so close together! Hopefully he'll keep it up! I told him we can try again tomorrow if he wants or on Saturday for sure.

Anyway, it's giving me good feelings about this month. The 2 psychics said December/January so I hope that means we'll conceive this month!

 

[toasty6]

That's great news, Bee Bee! I don't have much of a libido myself compared to DH--he would do it three times a day everyday if I would let him but dang that's too much pushin for this cushion lol.

Did another Wondfo this am--looks about the same, maybe SLIGHTLY darker, but it still takes around 5 minutes for the line to show up. Is it possible it's an evap, and if so, would I have all 5 tests so far have evap lines at the *exact* same spot and they all have pink color to them? I'm just doubting it since it's not popping up right away but I'm not due for AF until tomorrow according to FF (but I'm still only 2 months off BC so maybe it's wonky...?)... Anyways just feeling kind of discouraged that I don't see any major changes but there is still definitely a line and it shows up better and better the drier it gets but like I said they're all in the exact same spot and they are all pink, and they show up around 5 minutes so it's not like I'm waiting 15 minutes or somewhere outside of that window... DH didn't want to get a digital test last night, he said "what was the point of buying the really cheap ones if you're going to go pay for an expensive one anyways?" Maybe I'll sneak out and get some this weekend but we work together and drive together so I don't see that happening. I just don't feel so secure with these results, but my stomach has been feeling just slightly icky the last day or two and yesterday and today I have had pregnant nose, so idk.

Hi Abii! Welcome to the group!

I am currently on cycle #2 TTC. I am on CD12 and should be O'ing around Christmas! Christmas will be very interesting this year
to you!

Bee Bee:
I completely feel you on the DH having a lower libido than you do. My DH is the same way. If I had it my way, we would BD like every other day. But it doesnt quite work that way. We do plan to BD more (well more than last time) around O time which will be somewhat difficult considering it will be around Christmas. I did take your advice and I have been charting. It should be linked in the signature line (hopefully). As for an updated on my dr. visits: as stated before, everything was normal except for testosterone (very slightly elevated), progesterone was good. So, I will be going back every month for progesterone levels and if we have not conceived by March then we will undergo further testing. I hope all is going well for you!

Toasty:
I have always been told a line is a line. I would highly doubt that each test that you have taken that has shown a line in the exact same place would be an evap line. I'm not the most experienced person when it comes to hpt, you can take my advice like a grain of salt. From a singular personal experience, I took a hpt and it came back with a very faint line. I did my research and came across the whole evap line topic so I made my DH take a hpt (hilarious) and there was no line. It was the same brand and lot number. Come to find out after another + pregnancy test at the dr. office, I was indeed not pregnant. Moral of the story: I doubt they are evap lines especially if they are getting darker! Congrats again!

 

[toasty6]

Okay, thanks. I'm going crazy here lol. I'm at work all day but I'm trying to convince DH to stop at the pharmacy on our way home and get either an FRER or a digital. He's still not convinced. He must be PMSing, he's crabby... Anyways, I'm really bummed out bc there's a girl I work with who had a doctor appt today and she may be pregnant. When asked if she has taken a test yet she just smiled so I say that's a yes. She's not a bad person or anything but everything turns into a competition with her and I would be so upset of she got pregnant right when I (hopefully) am too... I want my moment of glory (let's be honest, don't we all?)...

I think you should just go to the doc! Doesn't have to be a OBGYN, it can just be your general practice doc. They'll just do a simple blood test and then you'll know by the 26th, when you do go see your OBGYN, if youre preg or not! It would probably be good for the OBGYN to know if you are or aren't, especially if it takes a while to get another appt set up! Either way, when I do blood draws at my doc (which i do every 4 weeks lol) they just let me come in and it takes all of 10 mins, so I imagine it'll be the same for you. Then you'll get your results within 5 days.

Probably better than waiting another 2 weeks to see your OBGYN

Your chart is looking pretty good! Higher temps near AF and now they are starting to dip down to gear up for O (not to say that you are gonna O tomorrow or anything, but they slowly decline until O day)

Yeah, I may end up doing that but I'm not available to go in until Wednesday afternoon at the earliest and that's if I'm able to leave work early. We'll see! I'm pretty sure between now and then I can get my hands on a more definitive result...

 

[toasty6]

Make that a DEFINITE BFP!!!
