October Hopes - Testing thread. 128 Testers! 25 BFPs!!!

[ac2010]

^^ WSS lol there isn't really anything to figure out, FF does it for you

I've been temping but don't really know what I'm looking for but FF tells me stuff that I don't realise!

Hopefully you won't have a next cycle

I'm hoping for no next cycle too

 

[LizChase]

Yay! Thanks for adding me! Looking forward to lots of positives!

Today has sucked so bad, I want to just curl up in a ball! I was up all night trying to save my sisters marriage and got about 45 minutes of sleep before I had to leave for work. I got a call at 10 saying that my MRI scheduled for 12:30 was going to cost me $600 out of pocket, which shouldn't be the case because American family has to pay my medical bills due to a slip and fall accident 3 months ago. I was late for the MRI appointment, and ended up waiting there for almost 45 minutes for a copy of the cd that I don't even really need. And to top it all off, I've gotten another flashing smiley face on cb digital advance (5 days in a row). Dip stick is still saying negative I think and temp hasn't shifted.

I'm about ready to give up on this month because it seems like so much is going wrong! Wanting to cry!

Thank you so much. Sometimes you just need to vent, but there isn't anyone to vent to.

Hi,
I took my first ovulation test today and got a very definite positive, test line was much darker than the control line....we dtd last night and the night before and will make sure again tonight.
Is that the best way? I don't have any ewcm, can you get false positives? Thanx x

That's what we're here for! I'm so sorry to hear about your shit day. Hope you get a good night sleep tonight and tomorrow is much, much better xx

Jrepp- sorry to hear you are down. I swear when things happen, they seem to pile it on all at once! There is something to be said about"tomorrow is a new day". I really hope you find that extra glimmer of Hope today!!! This month is far from over too hon!
Frizzabelle- sounds like you are covering all bases! Sometimes i don't have much ewcm, are you having other symptoms like cramping, bloating, twinge pains on one side that would come along with O?

AFM, Ive just started temping (i know probably too late for any info this month) but my temp just rose .4 today, which seems to be 4dpo....anyone think that means anything?a long as it stays up...right?

 

[Frizzabelle]

A bit of bloating but that's it really, I never seem to have ovulation symptoms which is why I have the ovulation kits this month. I'm trying not to be too strict this month and relax but I'm glad I had a positive opk today! I will do another tomorrow and see how dark the line is.

I'm not too sure about your temp rise, did u definitely O 4 days ago? I sometimes chart my temp too but haven't this month at all. Hope it stays up for u and you get your BFP this month!
Baby dust to all!

Friskyfish- they have a diy kit?? Lol I'm assuming i know what that is but....no really, what's that? I'm interested! Heard about this preseed too. Does that just allow the sperm to find egg more efficiently? Do u need a prescription for it?

Kiallen- I'm also testing on the 1st. Pretty sure i O'd on wed the 18th. Not thinking that i dtd on the best days tho...if u don't mind, when did you decide to bd?

Haaaaaaaahaa it's basically a test tube for him to 'deposit' his swimmers. Then you add something to it to change colour!! Then after 90mins you compare it to the colour chart to see if he has a high or low sperm count!! Haaaaaaaahaa obviously it's not an in depth thing. If it's below a certain amount or colour, then he will have to book in for a proper, in depth test.
So hopefully, hubbys swimmers will be PINK!

You don't need a prescription for preseed, I got mine off Amazon. It basically is a sperm friendly lubricant, mimics the ewcm we should be getting at time of ovulation. So, can help things along if you like.
I've read loads of positive things about it, so thought I'd give it a go xxx

Me and the DH are trying PreSeed this month and FertilAid, but we are only BDing like 6 days in the week and a half of my fertile week.

I'm 1 day past egg transfer my beta is on 10/7 hoping for a bfp for everyone!

Good luck!!!!!!

Brunettebimbo-(lol on the user name)
That's interesting on the folic acid. Wonder how many milligrams? I take an additional amount of folic with in my multi too. Can't take to much can u?

I do think you can take to much.... Also I've never heard of the men taking Folic Acid... Now I'm curious if DH's FertilAid has Folic Acid in it...

Boo!! Don't give up Jrepp!!!!



AFM - Had a lot of drama last night happen, and found out my ex husband is spreading all kind of horrible lies about me and is basically making me seem like Satan incarnate... I posted about it on my LiveJournal which is my TTC Journal. Also I'm still having cramps and AF has been gone for a few days now. I'm also having a lot of CM but it's kinda golden colored - like the smilies on here... But I have no burning sensations or scratchy feelings so I know it's a yeast infection or anything but it does have me kind of concerned.

Also DH got an e-mail from our insurance and the first visit to the fertility specialist is approved, so he has to go in and set up an appointment date YAY!

Side note!! Do you think TLC could maybe record some NEW baby stories?!?! I only watch then when I'm getting ready to be pregnant or during the pregnancies, but they are the same episodes I've watched for ten years!

I have a channel on pay tv that's like 24/7 birthing shows

Baby story doesn't look that old to me maybe I get newer eps, but I'm really into "deliver me" at the moment and I looooooove "I didn't know I was pregnant"! And of course "one born every minute" and "bringing baby home"..... And "secretly pregnant"! And there's heaps more but u get the idea lol
