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

[Praying4Num1]

I'm sorry Bee Bee Hopefully you will O soon or AF will show up so you can start fresh. I can empathize with your frustrations. Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

AFM: I had a dip in my temp this morning, so it looks like BD'ing is on the agenda along with everything else that is going on. Any tips, advice, or suggestions for ways to improve the chances of fertilization would be great!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Merry Christmas and to all!!!!

Took a dollar store cheapie this AM (9dpo) and got BFN
but hopefully when I test again in a few days that will change -- ugh I just want to know already!

 

[Abii]

Got a stark white bfn today with fmu. Its safe to say Im out cause Im crampy too
I think I have a uti that would explain all the symptoms I've been having so gonna drink cranberry juice today.
Merry christmas eve everyone

 

[Bee Bee]

I'm almost positive that I am not going to O this month now. I have a Dr. appointment Monday so if I don't see it by then, then I will let my doctor know. I'm just hoping that my period comes when it's supposed to!

I'm worried that my thyroid levels are whats causing my lack of ovulation this month. I'll find out on Monday though…

I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!!

 

[Reba1987]

BFN again today :-/ no symptoms or signs of anything other than over-eating christmas bloat.

Merry Christmas all!

Hi Everyone,

I am 9dpiui and this 2ww is driving me bonkers! I had a couple bits of nausea on about day 2 and 3... and have had continuous intermittent light cramping since the IUI. I don't "feel" pregnant... but am keeping my fingers crossed!

Hey, is it too late to join you ladies? I am starting my TTC journey TONIGHT!!! This is my first cycle, first child. Very anxious and nervous. However I have PCOS so I am also trying to be realistic, but I did ovulate this cycle (today positive opk) and that is half the battle with PCOS

Hi KylasBaby! Welcome to the forum! Good luck TTC! I am currently on cycle #2 of TTC. This is mine and my DH first time TTC with our first. It is a nerve-racking experience. Personally, I am a very impatient person, so it is very frustrating. Definitely keep us posted on your journey!

AFM: I have yet to have a +OPK yet, and based on my last cycle, I was suppose to ovulate yesterday. I'm not quite sure if I did; No +OPKs at all and it appears there is no progressing dark lines on the OPKs. I don't know if I missed the LH surge or it just hasn't happened yet. On my temping chart, it looks like I had a temp drop on Monday, but I don't know. Also, I'm not quite sure if I should wait it out or go ahead and call my Dr. to see what is going on. Please let me know what all of you think.

BeeBee, keep us posted on your status!
to all!

Thank you for the welcome! I am very impatient as well so I have a feeling this will be a frustrating journey. Although I'm hoping for a little left over Christmas magic to help

Welcome! Have you tested yet at all? O:

welcome! Of course you can join! The more the merrier! I know those feelings though! I am only 3 cycles into TTC so I totally get it. Making the decision to TTC is like the biggest, scariest, most adult decision that any of us will ever make (but the best one too)! hahahaha.


AFM: CD29 and still no O. My cycles are usually 31-35 days so I am just hoping for AF now. Stopped BDing since hubby was losing steam. Also, just no point in stressing over it and planning it as often if there's no egg to catch right?

I have that doc appointment on Monday so I am going to bring up my lack of O to her. I'm afraid shes just gonna brush it off as my body adjusting to being off BC or that it's still too early in TTC to do anything about it. I really do hope this is just a weird month and that it doesn't happen again next month.

I hope everyone had a great Christmas! I told my hubby that this is probably going to be our last Christmas with just the two of us. I hope we all have baby bumps in 2014!!!

Ladies! Is this a positive opk? I am cycle day 11 and this is the first time I've ever used one! Advice please?

It depends on the instructions! Most are only positive if the test line is as dark or darker than the control. If that's the case then this one is still negative

But, some work that if you see a line at all then it's positive.

So, what do the instructions say? O:

Do you know how long your cycles are or how long your LP is?

 

[Ashley1021]

It says it needs to be near in color to the control line. Darn, I got excited because it looked pretty close to the control line! I range from 26-28 day cycles.

Well, assuming you have 14 day LP, then you should O between CD12-14. So, it could be happening very soon!

I'd say just BD to be safe. And keep testing (if you can. not sure how many you have) every day until you either get a definite negative or positive.

 

[Ashley1021]

I have six left! So I'll be testing! We bd last night and will again tonight!

 

[Abii]

Bfn for me again today but still no af ugh, now we play the waiting game. Fx'd for you ladies
Ashley- the opk is looking good, I think you will prob O tomorrow by the looks of that one
Bee- sorry that your cycle is off this month, mine is too. I never got a +opk so idk if I even ovulated. Honestly I think I have a uti and its just throwing everything off and making me feel pregnant, so mean our bodies can be lol
Welcome to the new ladies:wave:

 

[KylasBaby]

So my donor is MIA. I spoke to him the past few nights letting him know I would be ovulating and whatnot. Then I got my +opk this morning and was emailing him for about an hour about it and everything was good. He said he would be heading up here around 7. I've texted him a couple of times since 4:30 wondering if were still good to go and emailed and it's 7:45 and I've heard nothing. I'm really worried . I don't want this cycle to be a bust.

 

[Ashley1021]

I so hope I get a very convincing positive opk soon! We will definitely be bding the next few nights!

 

[Reba1987]

11 DPO and BFN again - ugh!
