October 2017 testers - Having an Oktoberfest - 9 BFPs and counting

[littlemiller]

Mom15- congrats on your BFP! Luckily the feeling is gone but I was literally keeling over to the point where I thought I was going to have to go to the hospital or something. Maybe I am just a baby and have a low pain tolerance. I spoke with my doctor and she said that it’s possible it could be pregnancy related and that since it passed it mustn’t be anything too serious. We shall see!

 

[Bloblo]

The wait to o is excruciating this month... I normally have my positive opk by cd13. But as u can see on the pic, its cd 14 and negative... BLEH!
Rant over

Keeping fingers crossed for you!

Well, the doctor's blood tests were negative. Im actually a little relieved, I was so worried about my health problems and honestly we weren't ready. So, I've decided, from now on it's protected until I get healthier. Hopefully I'll be back in about a year and about 100lbs less XD It still hurts though, but I've been cuddling my toddler and baby, I can't imagine how hard it must be to do this month after month when you're trying for your first, hopefully you all have an amazing and supportive OH! Good luck to all the ladies still in it this month.

Same here, Bloblo! I usually have a positive OPK by CD12 and ovulate on CD13. I once got a positive on CD13 and ovulated on CD14. Well, today is CD13 and I have a negative OPK! I also had a big temp dip this morning, so I'm hoping perhaps I just missed a nighttime surge.

Hi Ladies

Sorry for the recent bfn and Af posts. Its an unfortunate shared feeling when you are waiting anxiously for that rainbow baby. My heart goes out to you all.
My AF has not started but bfns still. I was expecting it today but looks like Friday will be it.
I saw the RE and she told me I was 40lbs too fat for them to do give me medicines/monitored IUI. I still can go some place else who will do an unmonitored IUI but I feel I need Clomid and properly time trigger shot so I am working on dropping the weight.

Meanwhile, I'm going to be taking 100mg of Clomid ( cd3-7), Vitamin D3, Super B Complex (every day), Herbal Tea, and Castor oil packs (once my cycle ends up to Ovulation day). Progesterone after I ovulate.

Excercise is cardio 60 minutes each evening with Strength training 3 days a week in the mornings.

Yeah, thought I'd be IUI pregnant by Turkey Day but looks like it will take longer. RE said 'see you in December'. I wasn't feeling the love from her either. I'm praying for a miracle so I don't have to depend on the RE.

Ok, my babble is over. I need to relax after work and then working out..lol...at least it all makes me sleepy.

I hope we get some more bfps in here be it this month or next....

 

[BelleNuit]

FTale I am so sorry that the RE sent you away. Losing weight is really hard, but it sounds like you are putting the work in!

 

[Heather.1987]

Sounds like many of us are waiting to o...myself included. Ive had quite a bit of cm the past few days but its not ewcm yet. So im waiting. Which is fine if i o later, which would be my norm and maybe have a chance this month. I think tonight will be my last night for estrogen. I was prescribed estrogen back when i was bfing and was super dry and sex hurt...so not prescribed for ttc...but why not!

 

[Dream143r]

CD1 for me. Wasn't expecting her this evening at all.

 

[Rach87]

Sorry dream

 

[Tove]

Dream, sorry AF got you early good luck with your next cycle. Hope all the tests at the doctor will give you an answer and a solution!

Bloblo, sorry that O is a little late, hope this means you get a super egg

Kuro, sounds like you are relieved about the BFN. Hugs to you and welcome back when you feel more ready to TTC again

FTale, wow you seem determined to lose weight, good for you. I would never have the time or energy to exercise that much since I had my son hope you can prove your doctor wrong and conceive without her help!

Best of luck to those about to O. Hope you a lot!!

As for me: more spotting, the type of pre-AF spotting I always seem to have for a few days each cycle. Is this normal or not? Maybe I need to see a doctor about it. I know when I have brought it up with my gynecologist in the past they have just brushed it off but now that I have it and don't conceive maybe it means something. What do you girls think? I have high temps in the LP so my guess is that it's not because of low progesterone but because of something else, but I could be wrong. I just wish I knew of a good gynecologist to visit, but they are hard to find. My OH thinks it's too early to go to a fertility specialist, but we'll see.

 

[BelleNuit]

Tove my RE doesn't care about my spotting. And I spot even when progesterone is high on medicated cycles. My naturopath doesn't think it's good though, but doesn't have an answer as to why.

 

[Mom15]

Tove - for what it is worth I spot every cycle pre Af. Before DS it would start as early as 5/6 dpo. Post DS it settled in at 8 dpo. As you can see it has not prevented me from getting pregnant. With DS I spotted til 11weeks. With the mc it stopped at 5 weeks and started again at 9 weeks which in hindsight was because the pregnancy had ended but it never turned into a mc until I took meds at 12 weeks which is when I had found out about the mc. This time I’m 12dpo and still get light brown every single time I wipe. It has died down from being dark brown/red so that is comforting.
It doesn’t give you an answer, but just know in some case the spotting has seemingly no effect on fertility. Hope you get your bfp soon!

 

[Tove]

Thanks girls! Makes me feel a little better. That's also in line with what my doc has said in the past, that it's pretty normal and doesn't have to mean anything.

 

[Bloblo]

CD1 for me. Wasn't expecting her this evening at all.

 

[mdscpa]

Nothing to report really except that i'm not really sure whether i should continue temping this cycle or should consider the spotting as a new start of another.

Hi guys I know I've been super quiet, but it has been a busy couple of days for me. I'm sorry for all the bfn's and af showing up and congrats to the bfp's. DH and I decided last week that we were going to take it easy this month, we're not going to temp or use opk's. We'll just relax, BD as much as possible and see what happens. To be honest I'm glad we decided to relax, because it seems like everyone I know got pregnant when they stopped trying or took the relaxed approach. Let's hope that works for me too. At least I know when AF is supposed to arrive so I'll know if I'm late.

Good luck to all the ladies still trying for this month and all those already in the TWW. And to those trying again for BFP's in November, keep the faith ladies

Sorry for AF dream

 

[Heather.1987]

My temp jumped up a whole degree but my temps have been super low anyways and i think it would still be under cover and i never had any ewcm. Was really hoping my body would wait til this weekend to o to really make sure it was releasing a healthy egg. Thoughts....does it look like i ovulated yesterday?

My hope is that ill get some ewcm today and tomorrow. Have a nice dip tomorrow (during my previous cycles i have gone up around 97.4 then dipped down to 97.1 ...my normal o temp) then ovulate tomorrow for a 30 day cycle and have ewcm! That is my hope! The temp jump just looks so big since my temps were getting so low!

Sorry about AF Dream Mine was suppose to start yesterday but its waiting like a 'pill'. I'll see you in November thread.
