****October Testing Thread**** Pumpkin BFP Patch

[Lucy3]

Big congrats @tropicsgirl! No squinting at those lines!

@AlwaysTheAunt get those vitamins into you!

So my dr had a death in the family so i had a different dr. He was lovely (he accidentally congratulated me haha). Turns out im low in iron and vitamin d. I didnt ask him any questions but will try book in with my dr when shes back. But quick google they could both impact fertility? So i will make sure i take my vitamins properly!

I'm not sure about iron (could be because I've never been low there) but I know vitamin d can definitely effect it. When getting ready to do ivf at my clinic they check to make sure you're in a normal range before they'll even transfer for you. That, thyroid levels, and progesterone are huge factors.

Hello everyone! Sorry I’ve been MIA.

so...I did not expect this...almost 2 years of trying for our second and I believe we got our BFP finally...

I am cautiously optimistic. We literally had an appointment to go see the fertility doctor later this month. I’m still in shock...

I was feeling lethargic and dizzy. And had an odd taste it my mouth and felt a bit nauseous. But I also had pelvic cramps so attributed that to AF starting. But I just was like what the heck, I’ll take a test tonight. And low and behold...it was positive! Here are the 2 I took. I think I’ll try an FRER tomorrow.

Sending lots and lots of baby dust to all you ladies!!

Congratulations!!

@tropicsgirl congratulations! So great after 2 years of trying!

@BabyBrain80 and @FTale I cried with you and I can't even imagine the pain of giving birth to a baby and not hearing it cry. I send you hugs for your journeys and hope the joy by far overcomes the grief, eventually.

I am just stalking you all to see your bfps, while I ovulate and didn't try this month... it feels strange but at least this month is clear and I know I do ovulate, which I was worried about.
Plus my baby is still young (15mo), every month without a pregnancy is a month in which she can stay our baby...

@tropicsgirl - congratulations, lovely lines

@tropicsgirl congratulations

@tropicsgirl Huge Congrats!!! Lovely surprise. Prayers for a HH9!

@AlwaysTheAunt Being low in both will most definitely cause fertility issues. I was low in D and my do back then had a fit about me taking extra D3. I do not get much sun at all so makes sense. Taking more iron is tricky. Did the doc give you any recommendations?

 

[FTale]

@Lucy3 I am 8dpo today. I don’t feel a thing. Uterus was a bit deep achey when I O last night (tmi sorry) but had it not been for that it’s like I don’t have one. If I had to say I have a symptom it would be very weepy. I think that is from my progesterone pills. Never has happened before but no other guess. I didn’t test this morning either. Have no reason to expect to be pregnant. Will try tonight though maybe. I am enjoying not knowing…lol

How are you?

@Nima how is your wife doing?

 

[sallyhansen76]

@Lightning7 So sorry for your last cycle. It is ok that you took some time off of course. don't worry about us, we totally understand. I've got everything crossed for you this cycle!

@AlwaysTheAunt so sorry that 9dpo didn't get darker. There is still time. Glad the DR caught some deficiencies that could help

@salamander91 Sorry for the bfn

@BabyBrain80 Beautiful OPK's! Go catch that eggy! Good Luck.
I understand how feeling happy that the baby's sex affects your coping.
My ex and I were together for 10 years. During that time we were TTC for 3.5 years before having our son. Before that we had a late MMC of a little girl.
In March I had a chemical pregnany with my fiance, and two weeks later my ex's new gf found out she was pregnant. IT felt, and still feels like a betrayal. And I had great anxiety about the baby's sex. Llike somehow if it was a girl I would feel even worse.
It turns out it is a girl, arriving in January. And I still struggle and feel a pain every time my son mentions his baby sister.
I am soo sorry for all you have been through. -xxx-

@tropicsgirl WOW!!! beautiful BFP!!! I'll update the first page if you would like me too Congradulations and H&H 9 months!

AFM: Sorry haven't been on the last few days. With the long weekend we had lots to do. I think I've caught up. So sorry if I've missed anyone.
I am CD10 today. Hoping that I'll be able to catch that egg. Will start OPK,s today so feeling slightly optimisitc. Cycle 13 of trying now. Fingers crossed.

 

[Bevziibubble]

Good luck Sally!

 

[Lightning7]

Thanks ladies. Having a crazy busy week at work so I apologize for not replying often! I forgot to check my temp this morning and I think yesterday will have been O day, but we have BD all the right times so here's just hoping we get one to actually stick this month! Thinking of you all.
@tropicsgirl huge congrats I'm so happy for you!

 

[sallyhansen76]

@Lightning7 Good luck!

 

[tropicsgirl]

Thank you all!!

tested again this morning and the line looks similar to last night’s test. Should not be surprised since it’s only been a few hours. Hoping it’ll get darker as time goes on. Still nervous...but trying to be positive!! I happen to have a check up with my doctor tomorrow so will likely be tested at the doctors as well.

It wasnt the same dr, just a fill in and over the phone so i didnt have time to ask any questions. Im taking a pregnancy multivitamin that has good iron etc in it so I'll continue to take that until i can book back in with my regular gp. I just hardly rememebered to actually take it so might set an alarm or something now. Hopefully she will have better answers/more time to discuss things.

I work in a basement and hardly get out in the sun and also rarely eat red meat so both are understandable why they would be lower than normal. (Besides a steak im not a big fan of red meat). I had no idea they could both impact fertility before!

 

[Bevziibubble]

@AlwaysTheAunt Hopefully your gp can help and I hope you get some answers soon
