...No, relaxing will not get me pregnant...lucky CBFM girls!

Gdane, don't worry because we just started the thread and we need to give it some more time before it gets lucky. I know that there will be a couple of people who get a bfp before 2012. I'm very confident that it will happen.

I'm sorry you have an upset tummy. I hope you're not getting sick because that would suck.

I think if you don't get a bfp this cycle then you should reset your monitor. Mine was going totally crazy after a few cycles and now it seems to be normal. I kept worrying that my estrogen was too high because I kept getting too many high readings, but my blood work shows that everything is fine.

Lull, that is a great sign that you are not getting cramps. I hope it means something. I have been having period cramps ever since I ovulated and even a couple of days before too. I don't get it, stupid PMS. I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed that this is your month. I hope you are feeling better. I was sad when 2 of my cousins gave birth in January when I first started trying, but now it doesn't bother me at all. I understand how you feel.

Wookie, HAHAHA! I was pretty sure you didn't look like a wookie when I saw the pictures, I just think they look like very weird creatures.

I think you should get a second opinion about viagara. I might even ask my fertility specialist for some LOL.

Its very difficult this 2ww lark:haha: vowed i would not symptom spot:dohh: and keep myself busy planning xmas but easier said than done! im getting more twinges on and off rather than cramps but know that its too early yet as im only 7dpo i think:dohh: Ooooo when do i test??? having a short Lp does that mean you can test earlier:haha: Thankyou for keeping your fingers and toes crossed:hugs: i will for you too and for everyone else too:hugs: we MUST have a festive BFP on here!
 
Hey ladies, sorry i am hardly ever here anymore! I got some shopping done last night which was a bad choice lol and some done today and I would say I did pretty good today :) I have currently only still bd one time this cycle booo for me! And I will say Wookie I know what your going through about the whole thing with OH because My hubs is on cholesterol meds and has the same types of problems at times and before he was on those meds he wasn't like that, at first he used his age as an excuse being he is 44 but he is not OLD lol so i knew that wasn't it! as time went i started to realize it had to be the meds,I went thru a few crying episodes at times because of it too because I feel like its because he doesn't want me when he does, things just aren't working proper. and during my peak times it seems to be the worst because I also think its partially in his mind LOL who knows but I can relate thats for sure! He also is crushed of pride of course when it happens , and his dr. wont give him meds for it either, he seems to say it isnt a side affect from the meds but i really think it is Just wanted to put that out there!
Gdane I agree that it looks like you will get your peak tomorrow!! Thank you for the update on pics I missed those :0) I have had post o temps this time so I'm pretty sure I ovulated I just never felt the ovary pain this tme, where last month my temps were all over the place and I was sure I didn't ovulate cause of cm etc.
Slh I think I am a late riser too because I really feel like the loads of ewcm was when i was most fertile as opposed to when ff shows I ovulated, i could be wrong but I feel so sure that it was ewcm that I had, it was the best example of it i had ever seen and I didnt bd around that time so it couldnt have been sperm!
I have had super duper light hints of pink while wiping which i didnt have last month so im sure i willhave the stupid spotting this time around and again it proves that it only happens when i ovulate which i find so weird still..I have been so interested in your scans etc. i know i havent posted alot but i have been reading just need to make more time to post lol
LUL I have missed you and I hope the sick feeling is a good sign and not that your ocming down with something!!
Lekker I have missed you also! And I'm glad that you got some shopping done as well!! So glad you get to get started with that fs, but hoping at the same time that you get your bfp before hand!
Trying Hugs to you as well!! and Mrs. B, Keekee, and everyone else
I hope to see some bfps before christmas! I know this isn't my month because I bd only once and i believe it was too far after my fertile time
 
Thanks slh. I don't know if I'll use my monitor after this cycle. I've learned enough from my body I know when in fertile and who knows what my body will do after I'm off clomid. And plus I'm meeting with my doc about a fertility specialist or where to go from here if no bfp this cycle.

Lull: yes you can test earlier with a short lp but I wouldn't test until af is late. Good luck with not symptom spotting! It makes me less crazy when I don't do it but it is hard to do.

Pook: I wonder why your spotting? hopefully its a good sign! We've missed you!

REMINDER: let me know your test dates as soon as you know them! :flower:

Afm: we were going to go to the parade of lights and then watch fireworks but dh took the worst possible way to get there so I wasn't in the mood to go. He felt bad but I want mad at him just annoyed by the way people were driving. It was beautiful though 52 degrees on a november night in south dakota! I wish we would have had a campfire. We ended up going to scheels then went to walmart for some christmas lights and spent an arm and a leg on them. But I can't not have them. I would be so depressed. My grandpa is actually an avid garage saler and found my favorite lights, the big old style traditional multi colored bulbs...but I made dh test them and he almost blew his face off lol. Poor guy. The things I make him do. :awww: such a good turd lol. We got in our bd tonight. I tell ya I want in the mood I had heartburn so bad. :( I wish my body would just work normal for once.

Hows everyone else?
 
Morning ladies :hi:
I love it when the thread's busy busy and there's lots to catch up on :thumbup:.
Gdane, love your new siggy :thumbup: we love you too! I want one of your apple dumplings. Nom nom. Hope you get your peak soon lovely.
Pook good to see you! We've missed you honey :hugs:.
SLH glad you finally worked out your chart, how frustrating when you know you o'd. What happens next with you? Do you see the FS tuesday?
Lul so glad you came back to us! Really sorry to hear you've been suffering :hugs:. You know we are here if you need us.
Lekker good shopping! :thumbup: I love a bit of retail therapy.
Mrs B, tryin, apple blossom, buckles :hugs:. Hope you gals are well.
Wookie :hugs: have you thought of trying maca and horny goats weed for your OH? A few of the ladies on the over 35 forum swear by it for increasing libido and energy. Might be worth a try? TTC is so stressful :wacko:.

AFM AF is late late late. I normally have a LP of 11 days and I'm now 14DPO. It's driving me nuts. I have all the usual pre AF symptoms; backache, cramps, lousy mood, fatigue, headaches and my temp is dropping slowly but she just isn't showing. FF keeps telling me I might be pg but I know I'm not because of the temps :growlmad:. On the other hand it means my LP is longer than usual and it might be because this is the first cycle I've been taking supplements...I just wish she'd stop f***ing around because I want to organise my CD3 blood work. Damn bitch with her broom.

And happy thanksgiving to my US chums!
 
Whoop whoop! I peaked!! :yipee: I did do a factory reset on my phone also....and of course forgot to set my alarm. :dohh:

Keekee: when did you last test?!

Mrsb: you wouldn't bore I us! Boring me is seeing nothing posted!you dont always have to write about yourl giner or the stuff coming out of it or going into it :haha: hows your day?
 
Hello Ladies :hi:

Wookie: Glad you dont look like wookie. Lol, that would definitely be OHs problems!

GDane: It was beautiful here on Thanksgiving too! Like above 60. CRAZY if you ask me. It is not supposed to be 60 degrees at the end of November! Not normal!!

Everyone else: :hugs:

How is everyone doing today?

AFM,

cd5...6?? I cant remember.. wait cd6. Last day of my clomid pill. Have been getting AWFUL hot flushes and awesome depression. Lol. Last night, I fell asleep on the couch and DH shook me awake and was freaking out because I was all flushed red and sweating. I dont even normally sweat unless it is a thousand degrees and I have to work outside for some reason. Other than that, nope so he flipped. Lol. It was ok though.

Been getting an AWFUL aching in my uterus which keeps freaking me out. I didnt get it till this morning but it woke me up out of my sleep. Kinda worried about it.


SO what is everyone doing for the weekend?? DH has to work today so I am spending it alone. Might go out to lunch with a girlfriend. BWW to be exact. :) Lol. Kinda excited. And my mom wants me to go to Hobby Lobby with her sometime today. Oh, and at Thanksgiving, my brothers girlfriend wasnt showing and they got into a fight :haha: :happydance: Then my mom told me that Curtis is PISSED about having to be her baby's daddy and he cant stand living with her and being with her but is trying to make it work for the baby. At least he is a good dad. BUT WHOO HOO! Hopefully, after the baby is born, I wont have to deal with her ass and I can just see my niece/nephew!

Sorry, went off on a thought. Lol. I'm bored...:dohh: Sorry ladies. lol
 
Mmm I LOVE bdubs! W went there for my birthday! Gave fun with everything! I get hot flashes with clomid too, they really suck but just keep telling yourself it will be worth it! Pay attention to the pain though. If it worries you call your doctors
 
I just keep getting worried that like what if there IS a baby in there and it is causing me pain because of the clomid or something?

Obviously that would be wrong, since I JUST got off AF. But it still worries me! If it isnt gone by Monday I will DEFINITELY give them a call!
 
Don't worry I feel like that too don't worry about it dear if everything was shed what would a baby have to hold on to
 
Just got in from a brilliant day shopping with my bestie, we went for xmas pressies, but came back spending a fortune on new clothes and boots for me :happydance: just having a quick catch up and a coffee before the housework begins! xx
 
Lull, having no period cramps is a good sign. I seem to get them all throughout my cycle, so I'm wondering if maybe they aren't even related to AF.

As for the short lp and testing early, I don't think that you can test any earlier because a pregnancy test won't become positive until after implantation has happened and that won't happen any earlier if you have a short LP. I think when First Response says you can test 6 days earlier, they are talking about people who have a perfect 14 day luteal phase. If you have a 10 day luteal phase, for example, it's still too early for implantation to happen at 4dpo. I could be totally wrong about this though.

Pook, I missed you lots. I think about you all the time and wonder how you are doing. I'm sorry about the spotting :hugs: Hopefully, next cycle you'll be able to BD more often. It looks like you ovulated on cycle day 16 from your chart. I wonder if the spotting has anything to do with ovulation?

Keekee, that's fabulous news about your LP. What supplements are you taking? It sucks about your temperaturs going down, but you should be very happy about a 14 day luteal phase because maybe now you can get a bfp before the year ends. I hope AF stays away, but if she comes I hope she's gone quick and it's the last AF you will see in about 10 months.

Gdane, YAY for your peak! From looking at your sticks yesterday I thought that you would peak today. I think it's a good idea to stop using your monitor because the sticks are so expensive. If you know your body and you can tell when you are ovulating there's no need to waste money on sticks. I think I might still use mine because I have a POAS addiction. I think I might start using HPT's really early from now on instead of using ovulation tests. My clinic is going to call me every time my b/w shows an LH surge, so I don't think there's any point in OPK's.
Is this your last month of taking Clomid, or are you going to keep taking it? I'm pretty sure you won't need it anymore after this cycle if you know what I mean.
I hope you have fun at the parade. I know what you mean by weird warm weather. Here in Canada yesterday it was 62!!! I don't understand why it's so warm in November. Usually there's lots of snow by now. I'll be very mad if there's no snow for Christmas.
Last year we spent a fortune on Christmas lights and decorations. It's very expensive. I feel sad that I have no one to go Christmas shopping for this year. Usually I get something for my little cousins but we won't be seeing them this year and they are older now. I think I might buy some toys and donate them to charity. I can't wait for the day when I can go shopping for my own kids.

Tryinfor1, I'm sorry that Clomid is giving you nasty side effects. Hopefully, it will pay off.
It's none of my business, but I don't think your brother should stay with that girl just because there's a baby involved. He should be involved in the baby's life, but he should leave the girl he's with.
I know what it feels like to be bored lol. I have nothing to do today except watch my DH play video games, so you may see me here a lot lol.

Mrs. B, I'm glad you are doing well. I hope AF gets you soon so you can start fresh and maybe start drugs to help you ovulate.

:hi: to everyone else. I hope you are all doing well.

There's nothing new going on with me at the moment. I'm patiently awaiting my doctors appointment on Tuesday. I'm hoping he'll be able to do something for me. I'm afraid that he'll say there's nothing wrong with me and send me away like most doctors do if they don't find a problem. I guess the only difference with a fertility specialist is if they send me away they could potentially lose a lot of money, so I'm confident that he'll still continue to see me. I'm afraid that he's going to schedule me in for a lap and dye...EEK.
 
Ok ladies serious question.
Before I had my surgery when I used OPK's they still showed positive but yet I wasn't ovulating according to the dr since my tubes were closed. And I didn't have a CBFM then.

The last 2 months I've gotten my peak on CD14. So today I expected to see my Peak...and it wasn't there. I did however skip like the first testing day....so is there a real chance that I really AM ovulating or my CBFM is just messed up? I didn't use an opk but I can use one in a little while as I'm not taking in any liquids until I do so. I just wanted to make sure. I'm starting to wonder if this CBFM really does work or if it was just a waste of money. With it doing this to me unusually and all the troubles I've seen you ladies have with yours recently.
 
It's not unusual to ovulate at different times every month. There's a chance that you will ovulate on a different day this month and the monitor is right. It is also possible that your monitor is on crack like mine was. I noticed that I kept getting more and more high readings the more I used it and the one time I used it using SMU instead of FMU, I didn't get a peak. If you know how to read your sticks you could probably tell if you're peaking or not. I would BD until you see a temp shift.
 
I like your new ticker by the way. Has countdowntopregnancy changed their tickers?
 
yes they have, I guess it was just added today. We've been BDing and softcupping it like no other lol. I'm thinking about having him throw some into the cup before I go to work HAHAHAHAH that way I could say I got pregnant at work! LOL

Wait, so you are going to put it in the cup first and then go to work and insert it? LOL. They might die.
