October Sticky Beans!

[Angel5000]

Hi ladies.

Cupcake - glad that stopping agnus has helped you!! I know that it is hit or miss, for some women it is a miracle worker adn for others it can really mess you up.

Krissie - hope you get your O soon!!

AFM, after 2 days of bleeding and 1 day of spotting, I had a 4th day where I was actually bleeding again. wTF. So random. BUT it looks like it's done now so now I'm just waiting to O. Should O at end of month. And if this month doesn't work out I'm going to call the dr for a referral to fertility clinic. If nothing else at least they'll run tests and I'll be abl eto know if something si wrong or be reassured that there's nothing wrong. That's what i really want is just reassurance.

Right now I thik I'm gonna hit the gym. Got a busy weekend ahead and lots to do. We've got a friend who is moving in this weekend for awhile because he needs a place to stay and we are always open to helping our friends. But that means I gotta clean out the "guest room" so he has a place. lol right now it's more like a "storage room with a bed for guests"

I'm so confused..
FF is somehow saying that today is 4 DPO -- meaning O on CD 8...
I'm guessing since I've got dashed crosshairs that it could easily change as I add temps.
My last AF started as brown spotting--I had one heavy day with cramps--then spotting/very light for 2-3 more days.
I have been feeling so tired and sick to my stomach pretty often. Yesterday we moved a lot of heavy furniture in the apartment and I don't know why but I tested...
I see a faint line...but I don't know how...

 

[krissie328]

Ivksa that's a pretty obvious line. I can see it clearly on my phone. Maybe try a more sensitive test and see what it shows.

 

[krissie328]

My temps are seriously driving me crazy. I cannot believe how high they are and they just keep going up! I have no idea why either.

I am trying to pin it on thr fact I've been on clomid and black cohosh this cycle. I started both on cd 2. But honestly I can't find anything only that specifically says that.

I can def see it on the invert! Yay!

Though I too can't figure that out based on your charts...

 

[Angel5000]

Ivksa - I can definitely see the line on the inverts. I can't see it on the regular but I'm on my computer and that sometimes skews that pics because it blows them up.

I would wait a couple days and test again. It's possible that you had withdrawal bleeding - I have a friend who had a completely normal seeming period so she thought she wasn't pregnant and the next month missed her period so she tested, got a bfp but when dr did ultra sounds at what was supposed to be 8weeks they found she was actually 12 week along and had actually been pregnant when she had that period. That's why whenever I have a light period I always test a few days after it ends. "just in case". Which seems silly but I do.

Is that a Wondfo test? Whenever I've tested on Wondfo's I either get stark white, or the 2 times I got a line (my CPs) the Wondfo picked up a day or two before any other test. Wait a couple days and try again.

as for your temps - I've had FF give me CH's (dotted) really early before. as I added temps it went away, it was just a weird spike. It will prob change as the cycle moves on (if you aren't pregnant!)

 

[mrscletus]

Hi ladies... so i was MIA for a while. I just needed a break as i was feeling very pregnant never tested, then AF came. I was literally in tears. I am like everyone else here just yearning to be preggo. I think i am going to just temp this month and not bother with the OPKs, just bd as much as we can and hope it works... maybe it will be less stressful without testing daily (twice a day) and just see what happens.

Ivska- i definitely see the line just weird with your chart.

Hope everyone has a good weekend and hoping some others have a long weekend with the holiday on Monday as well.

I should O around the 25-26th of this month. I also called the doc and planning to go in and sit down with my charts. This was my 8th cycle since coming off of the mirena and just curious if something could be going on with my body that would explain all the bad luck with conceiving. I may just be wasting my time, but i will feel better in talking with him.

Cupcake so glad to hear that things are returning to normal!

Angel sorry about AF, thats a bummer and to have it be weird on top of that is just so frustrating!

Krissie so excited you are on the clomid and actively trying, yay!!

Ivksa - definitely see a line!

Cletus - sorry about AF It definitely stings when you think it is your month and it doesn't work out that way. I think seeing your doctor will definitely give you some reassurance.

Ripple - your chart is looking really good!

 

[Angel5000]

:wave: Hi Todmommy!! How've you been?

 

[todmommy4568]

I've been good, just trying to focus on school, work, and weight loss. My baby fever is back so that has been rough A month and a half feels like an eternity away at this point!

I feel your pain!! We were planning to get start ttc again in February. But six weeks was just to far so we moved it to this month. Thankfully the only thing stopping us was me so it wasn't a big deal.

 

[Angel5000]

Six weeks sounds so long! Hopefully it'll go by fast so you can start trying again soon!


I had an emergency dentist appointment yesterday. I've been having pain on one of my teeth from hot/cold and a dull ache off and on. I was going to schedule it for later next week when I can take time off but the receptionist was worried because when she pulled my records she could see the location of hte pain is around a baby tooth that I still have, because I never had an adult tooth for that one baby. So she did a little rearranging and squeezed me in yesterday even though they were booked up. Glad she did. Turns out the root is dying and I'm developing an abscess. I have an emergency root canal scheduled for Thursday. :/ So not thrilled. This is the worst time to take off work because we are only a week away from end of semester and my students are doing last minute assessments and stuff, but I have to take care of it. This morning I couldn't even drink my coffee without a LOT of pain. Which just reinforces that I NEED the root canal because teacher without coffee = bad.

That's 9am Thursday. I just hope I'll be feeling up to going back to work on friday. :/

Hi ladies!

Glad I can confirm that I did in fact ovulate so those questionable opks were positive for me. I had a huge bbt drop this am at 6 dpo. Not a sign of implantation though as I had the same dip two cycles ago- I guess it's possible that some months I have a stronger or more noticeable secondary estrogen surge?

 

[cscbeth8421]

Hey ladies! just popping in to say hello and let you know i still check this thread often! sounds like some of you are in limbo right now waiting to start trying again.

Ivksa - total line there! Have you tested again?

Oh wow! I can't believe you are already 19 weeks. Are you going to find out the gender?

 

[Angel5000]

hi beth!! so glad you dropped in! I was just thinking of you the other day and wondering how you were doing.


AFM I started to get some EWcm today so I think O is coming up. It'll probably be a few days. I tend to get a few days of it then creamy for a couple days then return to EW again. Hoping it isn't too late.

 

[cscbeth8421]

Hey ladies! Im doing well! This pregnancy is like 100% different from #1! No time to sit and relax chasing my little guy around, no aches, cramps or stretching. I can totally see how someone might miss the fact they are pregnant the second time!

We find out the sex tomorrow!!!!!!!! eeeekkkkkkkk Super excited but nervous. I'm still not convinced everything is going to be ok. I feel flutters here and there. Placenta is posterior, so i really though i would be feeling more by now. But i dont think i felt ANYTHING with my first before kicks i could feel outside (anterior placenta first time) I can find the heart beat with my doppler. I have only put on 6lbs, with my first i think i had put on like 15 by now! So just hanging on till tomorrow!

 

[krissie328]

So excited for you Beth!! Do you have a gender preference? I will be stalking around tomorrow waiting!!

 

[Blackrain90]

Yay Beth I'm so excited for you! I just started feeling definite movement the other day which is later than my first, and I've also only gained about 6 lbs compared to much more last time (though I haven't weighed myself since my stomach literally doubled in size this week haha).

I wish we were finding out the gender so I will be stalking and living vicariously through you! (My US is on Tuesday)

 

[Angel5000]

So excited for you guys!! Can't wait to hear what you find!

I'm so glad that you've been having a happy and healthy pregnancy.
