but definitely needed the laugh. thanks

 

[MamaBee413]

Jumpingo, sorry you're having a rough morning. I am glad I could make you smile.

I was a wreck this morning myself. My husband asked how I wanted my egg and I told him, fertilized. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It actually made me laugh!

 

[jumpingo]

you are full of good ones today!!

thought i was pretty practiced at peeing in a cup, but apparently not at actual doctor's offices! total fail

 

[Rach87]

Thanks for the help ladies!

Turtle - I didnt receive my opks by mail until cd14. Super busy cd 15 couldnt test. Was due to O cd16 and thats the first day I tested. Really wanted to start testing a few days early. Boo. Hopefully I wont have to test next month.....but if I do im def starting earlier.

Mumanddad - thanks for the pics! For me temping would be a hot mess. My sleep patterns are awful. Usually get up about 2 times a night to use the potty, and in between that I generally toss and turn. The joys of lupus and fibromyalgia. I swear though with the symptoms I have daily and sleep disruption being preggers and having a newborn wont be too much of a pattern change. Lol

Orionfox - im totally the same! Stay in bed as long as conceivably possible before having to leave the house in the morning.

As for the shnazzy digital opks ill probably hold off on getting those for a few months, if were still without baby. Its only our 3rd month ttc so im trying to keep it as stress free as possible. Plus my hubs is a firefighter and works 24 hr shifts, so if I O on his work day theres nothing we can do about it anyways. We just dtd every day hes not working hoping some will stay in there long enough to make a babeh.

And men are too funny. While watching tv a few nights ago my dh randomly looks at me and asks "did you check your ovaries today?" Hahaha hes too cute.

Rach - I am also 7 DPO with last AF Sept 24. My husband works out of town all week and we are also on 3rd month TTC.

 

[Rach87]

MrsB thats crazy! My af was sept 24th also. Were lady time twinsies! How long are your cycles normally? Im a 30 day'r. To be honest his schedule kind of takes my weakness to obsess out of the equation since I have no choice. Haha but having him gone all week would be really rough. Was he home at least when you ovulated (or think you did)?

 

[orionfox]

Lol my last af was sept 23rd so i was almost the same

 

[caringo]

Hi ladies think I ovulated today...woohoo! CD 18 w/a 14 day LP so that would put me at a 32 day cycle, pretty standard length for me. Last night I took my temp before bed and it was in the 95s!! I figured it was either a fluke or maybe a pre-O dip. This morning and afternoon I had pressure on my bladder without being able to pee, some menstrual-like cramps, and and aching deep in my pelvis and lower back. Sounds pretty promising, to me anyways we shall see tomorrow morning! Hope all you ladies are doing well, excited to see more BFPs soon hopefully!

Hey ladies! I'm back. Looks like I ovulated yesterday (need a couple more days of temps but I'm 99.9% sure that I did).

Caringo - looks like we are at similar points in our cycles again.

I have to say I'm so flippin chuffed, this is my 2nd cycle of ovulating this early, every cycle it just seems to get better. I have PCOS so having a regular cycle is a huge thing and to ovulate at cd 17 two cycles running is just fab!!! I've had some long cycles in the past but due to losing weight and keeping the weight off (need to lose more which I'm working on) my cycles have just got better and better.

Our bd timings have been great this cycle, I had planned to use pre-seed for all our baby dancing but it only arrived yesterday, so used it last night and made sure I laid with a pillow under my bum legs in the air every time we did it...I read a book pass the time lol so I really hope it's done the trick. Maybe number 17 is going to be my lucky number, month 17 of trying and cycle day 17 of ovulating. I'm feeling really positive and I'm telling myself this month is the month!!!!

Hope everyone is well and look forward to chatting with you all xxx

 

[Bing28]

Hi cookie!

I hope your doing okay! Glad to hear your cycles are getting more regular each month!

FX'd you catch that eggy this month!

Afm - I'm on CD2 today. I am intrigued as to whether AF will be longer this cycle after the vitamins I was taking last month to try and thicken my lining. Usually she only lasts for 2 days with 3-5 days of spotting afterwards, so I'm hoping she'll hang around for 2.5/3days this time! Only time will tell!

I have decided to buy a book by zita west (a leading fertility specialist in the uk) called Eat yourself pregnant. Once I've read it I'll let you know what it was like!

Xx

 

[Cookie1979]

Hey Bing, I'd be interested to hear about it. Fingers crossed the vitamins work for you.

I've turned my optimistic mood into a pessimistic one...I need to remember google is not my friend! I decided to google about secondary infertility and it's really depressed me. It said if you haven't conceived after a year they class you as infertile and that after 35 your fertility drops dramatically...I'm 35. I think we are going to have to have a cut off point, I'm thinking if I haven't conceived by May (when I turn 36) then we will give up. I can't go on like this, it will be a month shy of trying for 2 years and I think I need a point where I decide enough is enough. The age gap between my son and a newborn would be much bigger than I wanted and I can't go on making myself feel this bad, I think accepting that we are only going to have 1 baby would make me feel much better, it's better than constantly torturing myself.

Also really annoyed that things are taking so long with the doctor, I had my blood tests and everything was fine and now we have to wait til December for my husband to have his SA and only once they've got the results will they refer us to a fertility specialist. I think I will call the doctors and see if anything can be done, its fine if you are younger but I'm not and time is a ticking. I really know how to make myself feel bad!!

Sorry to rant, just feel frustrated.

Hi everyone! Welcome to all the new ladies! :wave:

Bing- I can't believe we're no longer cycle buddies. Looks like we're off by 2 days this time.

AF is completely gone for me. It's soooo soo strange that it was only 3 days. Never in my life have a has such a short period. I'm definitely attributing it to taking Vitex. I did some more research on it yesterday and found that it shortens even normal cycles. Which would make sense. So I won't be taking that anymore.
I have a brand new unopened bottle if anyone is interested in having it mailed to them.

I started the femara yesterday and within 2 hours I was feeling super nauseous and queezy. I don't like it

 

[KozmikKitten]

Hi ladies!
Theres a few new names in here, so Hi to those ladies!

Just wanted to pop in this morning. I'm worried my DH wont be able to keep up with the when it really counts this month! He wont stop jumping me! We've dtd 4x in the last 6 days. I think I'm going to have to fend him off tonight because I'm expecting a pos OPK either Fri/Sat if this cycle is anything like my last 3. (Although it might not be anything like it after the chemical last cycle). I'm loving the but dont want to wear us out!

to everyone!

Is anyone testing this weekend?!

 

[Bing28]

Just read the first chapter of Eat Yourself Pregnant and it says "don't put a pillow under your bottom" after sex! Maybe that's where I'm going wrong!

I've heard if you do that too long the lil swimmers can pool in there and not go any further, they eventually come out.

 

[Ms.Bsky]

Testing on the ninth. Now I'm suffering from frequent urination. Wow how much can a person pee!! And my nipples feel sensitive, like the shirt I'm wearing is cutting them

bfp to all

AF came on 17-19 dpo, on CD 32. On to the 2nd month trying!

good luck to you guys

 

[jumpingo]

my husband and i always joke we don't want the ones who need help figuring out where to go anyway!

 

[Eclaire]

Cookie I am also 35 trying for #2. I know how you feel thinking it is only going to get more challenging if not impossible. Last night I finished a 150 count bottle of prenatals. It kind of broke my heart to realize I still have a long road ahead of me and time is not on my side.
