October 2015 and Beyond...8 BFPs!!!

[GoldenRatio]

Oh no GR, i'm so sorry to read that! Are you still getting regular periods though? Lots of women conceive with those meds so i'd say that's a good thing! Really glad you didn't have to wait a year to figure that out, too. How did you get testing only 5 months into the game?

Kern, two words: dollar tree!

Sapp, sorry your body is being weird, too. Wth is up with all of us?! Lol

I was surprised because I don't have irregular cycles and I always confirm ovulation with temping and opks. I got testing done early because as soon as we started trying, I went to hormone specialist (initially was booked for my acne problem), I told him that we hav been trying for year and half so he would check infertility. I lied to him about trying because I thought my acne was result of reproductive hormonal imbalance.
First he told me that my hormones were okey but then after getting ultrasound done, he said I now confirmed that you have mild PCOS.

How is everyone doing? I figured I would check in! I'm feeling kinda crappy today, I think I'm getting a cold this is why I hate this time of year! It's freezing here and we got snow yesterday, so it's pretty miserable! I've been so exhausted all week, I've even been sleeping through my alarm which I never do. Of course the ttc side of me says "hey that's a pregnancy symptom!!!" And the logical side of me says "shut up, the weather sucks and it's lagging you down" hahaha. My cramps have stopped though....which does make me suspicious. I thought that my cramps were pretty much daily last month. I'm going to have to backtrack on here. My cramps this month lasted from about 5dpo-7dpo. Possibly implantation right?! I hope.

 

[Kern]

Yes bweaver! Possibly! When do you plan to test? It's so hard not to symptom spot right?

I mean technically, I probably had my period early, illogically, I swear it is imp,a ration or something bleeding and I'm pregnant. Haha. It's just such a weird period! Yesterday and today I'm spotting brown, I never spot brown after af is done! Plus I'm still just as exhausted as before. Oh and I checked my cervix and it's high and soft. Ugh. I know yall be like TEST ALREADY but I can't convince the hubs, he'd rather buy a powerball ticket lol.

 

[Sapphire86]

Bweaver, I totally get the ttc vs logical dialogue. I can never make up my mind about symptoms.

Kern, I stocked up on wondfo tests from amazon so I don't feel guilty. $30 got me 100 ovulation tests and 30 pregnancy tests. Although as soon as you stock up on tests you'd probably get your bfp!

I'm still spotting lightly - like one pantyliner all day type spotting. So still no af yet and cramping stopped but don't feel pregnant. I'll probably test tomorrow just to be sure but I'm getting impatient and starting to worry I'll bleed for 2 weeks if a week of spotting is followed by a week of af.

I'm setting up and appointment to see my ob next month or March to address the irregular cycles and bleeding like my ob suggested at my annual last month.

 

[gigglebox]

Kern, you can't get out yourself and just buy a cheap test on your own, just for peace of mind?

Sapp, i hope your uterus makes up its mind on what it's doing! How frustrating.

I'm now 10dpo, tested this morning and bfn. Very crushed. Was 100% convinced i was pregnant because i was/am having a weird symptom ive only ever had with my pregnancy and c/p, which is that i'm starving (stomach growling and all) but nothing sounds appetizing. Certain foods i crave seem repulsive. I'm usually eating chocolate by the pound when af's due, but this month i haven't really wanted it. I had trail mix the other day and even picked out the m&m's.

I'm just so confused and a bit broken down this month. Can't believe it's shaping up to be another negative this month.

 

[Bweaver0906]

Kern I'm buying you a test and shipping it in the mail!!! Hahhaha!!!

Oh my gosh that gives me an idea! Once we all get pregnant, we can do that...what is it... That thing where pregnant women send other pregnant woman care packages, or things for baby. Oh my gosh that would be so much fun!!

 

[Bweaver0906]

We could even do ttc packages too!

 

[Kern]

Haha you guys are funny. Today I've been having brown ewcm only when I wipe. Wtheck

But I just checked, cervix fell, hard, open. So I believe that's it for me. Just a weird cycle. Rude. ��

 

[Sapphire86]

Af is finally here so I'm on cd1 and beginning cycle 4.

Kern, you're (probably) at the beginning of your cycle. Anyone else?

 

[GoldenRatio]

Only giggle and Bw left ! Im sure giggle already tested since she has poas addiction

 

[gigglebox]

Lol! You totally called me out!

Oh yes, definitely tested, definitely not pregnant. Bfn today at (i'm fairly sure) 11dpo...af due saturday (13dpo).

It'll be on to cycle 5 for me already updated my signature, ha.

Ugh i donno whats wrong with us, why is it so hard

i already gave p this cycle

 

[gigglebox]

I don't know i reeeaaallly didn't want a winter baby and i'm sad to be creepin' towards that.

How are all the pregnant ladies doing?

 

[Bweaver0906]

I'm waiting until Monday to test. As of right now (knock on wood) I have no one symptoms like I usually do. If by Sunday I still do not have any symptoms, I will be suspicious. The last two months I've started bad cramping the day before af is due, and would start spotting that night. So if that doesn't happen...I will be ecstatic!

 

[Sapphire86]

Bummer Giggle. I was hoping someone would get a bfp this cycle! I totally get the winter baby thing.

Bweaver, I have my fingers crossed!

I'd love a March-June baby so I could stack my maternity leave with summer break but I'm not going to wait when it's hard enough for me to get pregnant at all.

So im in a situation now where I can set up an appt with my ob and she'll run thyroid tests and possibly perscribe clomid to help me ovulate/strengthen ovulation. Her hunch about my thyroid may be correct because i was losing weight over the holidays even with all the sweets.

I just don't know when I want to go back in and go down that road. I keep hoping things will sort themselves out naturally but I'm starting to doubt that will happen. If I wait until March i could go in over spring break otherwise id have to use half a day of sick leave. What do you think you'd do in my situation?

 

[GoldenRatio]

After this cycle ends we gonna take a break from ttc until i get my meds. I will start metformin and clomid around march. I wont be here anymore so I hope u all get ur bfp by then

 

[gigglebox]

Sapp, personally i'd go in now because i'm impatient lol. Also, if there IS something wrong, i'd be kicking myself that i wasted a month when i could have started treatment.

Gr, haven't you not been trying long? Why so soon to start fertility treatment?

Im not sure, doctor suggested that i start after he checks DH sperm and i didnt question if i should try couple more months without meds. I have been reading lots about pcos and most women got pregnant with meds.

 

[Kern]

Gr glad you found out what's going o. Hoping you get your BFp on your first cycle with meds!

Is bweaver the only one in the tww currently? Since my cycle got messed up I have no idea when I'm going to ovulate. I get ewcm on the toilet paper and cervix is super high but it seems too early. The ttc just likes to mess with us huh! I'm not stressing ttc this cycle, may skip it just to give us a break, the emotional roller coaster is getting too much! Even when I don't symptom spot I get convinced I'm pg lol

I'll be here though

 

[gigglebox]

Technically i'm still in the tww. I may have miscalculated O, making me 11dpo today...i just don't know anymore. I'm just going to wait out the weekend and test monday if i don't start bleeding before then, which i feel like af will be showing soon.

Hmm kern not sure if you will ovulate, since you're already pregnant
