October Sticky Beans!

[todmommy4568]

SOOOO embarrassed!! I bought two 3 packs of FRER and a 2 pack of cb digis. My hometown is super small and rumors spread like wildfire but I don't worry much as I live 100 miles away well someone from my hometown was the next checkout over from me of course and the cashier practically screamed "oh my gosh all 3 of the boxes of pregnancy tests have a coupon on them!"

 

[Blackrain90]

Do one tomorrow Todmommy!

Thanks Tiffy you as well! I haven't had much in the way of symptoms yet luckily, aside from major mood swings!

 

[PnutProtector]

FRER!!! Omg I can't wait to see your test tomorrow todmommy!!!

Temp dropped a little today, so maybe I'm finally going down to my normal pre-O temps. DH and I were talking about whether or not we think we'd end up with a BFP if we didn't do any of the "sciency" stuff and TBH, I don't think it would happen. We are both so very exhausted at teh end of a work day, between me having work plus grad school, that we don't have sex very often. Typically just on the weekends. And looking at the way I've Ovulated the last few months, if we only had sex on the weekends I'd be really lucky to hit it. I would end up BDing like 4 days before O or a couple days after, but chances were pretty slim. And even with the sciency stuff we do, we still have sex when we want to (I don't worry about what if we do it 3 days in a row will we deplete the sperm stuff).
Blah. I want to pee on some sticks. lol!

Sorry, cupcake. It's really hard to have to hear that from coworkers. I went through the same thing a couple months ago when a coworker who quit her bc at the same time as me announced she was just ending her first trimester. Just about killed me.

todmommy Your chart is gorgeous!! I want some beautiful BFPs! I CAN'T WAIT to see your FRER tomorrow!!!!

 

[MsRipple]

Yes, looking good tods mommy! And glad that you are saving on those frers......

 

[BostonLover89]

Todmommy hahahahaha that's great. One time I bought a pack of FRER and a box of tampons and the lady just looked at me and whispered good luck.... But of course everyone could hear.

Angel DH and I had the same talk last night. He was exhausted but I was guessing that I was O ing so I really wanted to BD but then he started talking about how he was starting to feel too pressured and wanted me to stop doing all the charting and so on. I calmly (ok, not really) explained to him that we do not naturally have enough sex to leave this up to chance. (We only have a few more months before he will be leaving for a deployment) He has a super demanding job and is often away on work trips. Like you said, if I don't plan or chart my cycle it would literally be a miracle if my O lined up with the sparatic sex we have during the week.

 

[todmommy4568]

Lol why does buying pregnancy tests always feel dirty no matter how old we get?

I am right there with you guys, not nearly enough sex to catch the egg without opks. Hopefully those hubby's keep cooperating, if not I could always grab the bat

I caved and took a FRER tonight, bfn. I amaze myself sometimes lol I was looking back in this thread last month and I did the same thing, bfn FRER with evening urine on 9dpo. I will still take another in the morning though since I am all stocked up

Picturrrrreee

Just finished grading 90 geometry tests. I feel like I need a LOT of Why do I feel like they are never going to learn EVERY time I give a test! Ugh! There were a lot of good grades in there but I had a string of really bad ones (some below 20%!) from kids who just goof off and screw around and cause trouble. Unfortunately I'm still "responsible for their education" too.

So, in my obsessiveness I was rereading through parts of Taking Charge of Your Fertility and in that book they recommend pinpointing your O when your temp rises above your past 6 temps and stays there for at least 3 days. They recommend drawing your coverline based on that spot (the 6 temps pre-O). If I were to follow that guideline, my coverilne for last cycle would be 97.2 (instead of 97.3), and every temp I've had this cycle so far would be still above previous cycles' cover.

Yes. I'm crazy. And obsessive. Actually hoping the AM temp is in the 96s so I'll quit fantasizing.

Ladies, I need some pee sticks to fantasize about! Lets see those pics!!

Boston Exactly! I'm so glad someone else understands! My friend(s) are all like "if you stop trying you'll get pregnant" and I'm like ummmm no. I can do the math, and I know how my sex life looks. We like sex, we just don't get it often. LoL. Is your DH in the military? (You mentioned deployment). My BIL is Air Force and deployment can really put a kink in the baby making plans!

todmommy OMG! that bat picture!! Can't wait to see tomorrow's FRER!!!

Hi ladies,

I am new to this forum. We are currently trying for number 2 since July. We have a beautiful happy and healthy 2 yr old daughter. It took us 3 years to conceive the first time and I am hoping that we don't have to wait so long this time around. I have been following along the last few months and everyone on here so nice and supportive so I made the decision to join in hopes of sharing the ups and down of ttc

 

[BostonLover89]

Angel yup! Air Force as well. Praying we get our BFP before Jan! DH will be away for the entire two week wait lol lucky him he doesn't have to listen to me speculate about symptoms. Teaching is rough girl, you deserve some wine!

Candilou welcome! The ladies here are awesome, I just signed up last month and it's been so helpful. Hardest part is learning the lingo haha. Where in your cycle are you?!

 

[Laubull]

Well girls I decided to go digital this morning and got 1-2 weeks! I'm obviously excited but after 2 ectopics and 1 miscarriage I'm feeling worried.....I want to fast forward to when they'll scan me and hopefully all will be in the right place developing nicely

Todmommy 9dpo is early, especially evening wee! I have everything crossed for this morning x

 

[cupcake.]

Todmommy, your chart really does look super promising! FX!
Can't wait to see tests!

Afm, started BDing last night when i got home last night i forgot to use the bathroom and was so thirsty that the first thing i did was drink a buttload of water.. so my wee was pretty useless regarding the OPK haha
But i think i had some almost EWCM yesterday. Not full on EW but definitely quite slippery and clear, so i might already be close to O which is a bit weird as i'm only CD11 now, but i'll definitely take it.

 

[Candilou22]

Boston - I am 2 Dpo and cd 18. I usually use opk but his month I did not. I starting taking a b6 b12 complex last month to help with my short luteal phase

The first time ttc I ended up having a blocked tube and my husband had miss shaped spern due to hot tub use ona regular bases. By the time we got everything sorted out we got our bfp on our second cycle.....I am really nervous I will have the same issu again

 

[todmommy4568]

Welcome candilou! :wave:

Laubull - omg yay!

Cupcake - early O would be awesome! Especially after all the crud of last cycle!

Angel - that must be so frustrating when they don't even want to do anything. That is how I ended up tutoring is when they were like that my dad would make me tutor them and if they paid attention and learned some stuff during tutoring then he would usually pass them even if it was just barely. Some of them do crappy just to impress their friends so that got them away from their buddies

I'm not seeing anything on the tests, I will post them after this. I forgot to switch to desktop view and I will lose all of my post if I switch now lol. I wasn't even going to test today because I am so superstitious of the number 13 I am not feeling anything anymore no boob soreness no stretching uterus feeling..nothin. I'm trying not to read in to it because the month I got preg with DS was the month I thought for sure I wasn't pregnant because I had zero symptoms.

 

[todmommy4568]

10dpo here is the boring pee porn ladies! I think I am going to cautiously say my chart went slightly triphasic yesterday and all my searching last month showed that usually 2 days after a chart goes triphasic you get a bfp and that is what happened last month!

 

[Angel5000]

Welcome candilou!!!

Todmommy I would agre that your chart looks like it is going triphasic. I really hope it is and that's a BFP coming up!! and that's true , sometimes they do bad to impress their friends. Which makes no sense to me at all.

 

[cscbeth8421]

Todmommy- I got a faint line the night of 10dpo. Hang in there! Still early!

 

[todmommy4568]

Yea I'm not worried quite yet. I feel like when I put different filters on the FRER I can see something but I might be losing it too

 

[cscbeth8421]

Todmommy- i inverted for you! I feel like i see something here!
