ok so who wants to get pregnant in 2011? (closed group)

[Huggles]

I have a question for everyone: do you BD all cycle long, or tend to save it all up for your fertile time? I find we save it up, which I dont think is good as you could ovulate at some funny time in your cycle and never know! the smep says to start every other day from CD10 which we usually do, but between my ovulation around CD18 and the next cycle CD10 we barely BD! Im thinking to pop in a little extra here and there!! I was going to attempt every other day for a whole month but I forgot to do that

We pretty much bd when we feel like it, which usually works out to approximately every 36 hours from as soon as the witch leaves until I ov, and then almost none (maybe once a week) until the witch arrives again.

I tend to have a very high libido before ov and a virtually none existant libido after ov. So before ov we can sometimes bd like twice a day, then once a day, maybe skip a day, once a day, twice a day, etc. However the mood takes us. But after ov I could probably quite happily not bd at all, although dh starts to get a bit 'frustrated'...

I personally would like to be able to tell people I conceived without help, but I will consider it for sure

No one has to know whether you had help or not But I understand what you're saying.

true, but Im too honest sometimes and would feel I needed to tell people. its silly really, just something I would like to be able to say (I guess I feel defensive about my old age and want to show I can do it!!!)

Hey ladies CD 32 for me today. temp rise again 36.7.. mean anything when it goes up at the end of your cycle? i dont think 36.7 celsius is that high plus i keep getting the odd AF pains

temp rise is good, trouble is we dont know whats high for you as you just started temping. however if you see a big drop that could be your period coming, look at my chart...I had a big noticable drop about 48 hours before my period. but I dont think everyone has one. good luck!!

Today I'm cd7. So now BD every second day, and will start opk in a couple of days.
Best of luck with your operation. How long after the op do you have to wait befre trying again?

she said after I stop bleeding, but I go for a preop next week so will hopefully find out more. I am due to ovulate about a week after the operation so I hope I dont bleed long. I doubt anything will happen straight away, but you can only hope! the FS also mentioned clomid for me, has yours? my only worry with that is theres 10% chance of multiples with that, so I would like to wait 3 months after the operation to see if I can get pregnant without it, then try it if not. some of me just wants to get it straight away as time is ticking, but I want to wait first and see if its just the polyp in the way.

im not far behind you in your cycle, when do you normally ovulate? Im usually CD18ish

Yes my FS said she's going to give me Clomid; first I need to have an HSG to see if my tubes are all ok; if they're ok, then we have Clomid and an IUI. FS mentioned multiples and said they do everything they can to prevent that.

I can understand wanting to try for a bit on your own after the op. But I also understand just wanting to things moving! See how things go and see how you feel after the op.

My cycles have been incomprehensible since coming off the pill, which prompted me to see the FS, so not sure about my ov day. But Feb was the first month where I seemed to get a real result with the OPK sticks, and inidicated that I ov'd on CD18 too! (Which meant only a 9-day luteal phase - am now taking vit B6 to try to help with this - we'll see, I start OPK-testing on cd 10 in two days)

[babyhopes23]

thats good news, I hope you can find out whats going on. the temps seem high, I dont know if that is normal but I would think that meant you did ovulate sometime? its hard to know until you have a few months of temps to compare. how long was your last cycle?

how is everyone else doing? we are busy this weekend working. we had a great day yesterday as my business donated $7000 to the local humane society so that will help a lot of animals. Im having a reflexology appointment today too, hoping that by the time I have my operation my body will be balanced and ready to concieve! other than that not really thinking about TTC much, start BDing and Ov tests next wednesday so just having a week off not thinking about it. Also have my pre-op at the hospital that day

 

[babyhopes23]

hey sarah. last cycle was 40 days long !

thats why im so confused, today is CD 34 or so and ive got bad headaches and those AF twinges and this temp thing.

im not symptom spotting ..no !

just trying to figure things out..

thats great news about your business.. doing a good cause.. yeah its nice for you not to be able to think about TTCing for a while. it would do us all some good if we could be like you i that aspect.. or atleast it would do me a lot of good !

Good luck with your preop !

I am trying to decide whether we need to take a break. DH's boss told him he is being laid off at the end of the month. I am also going to be going back to work March 1 through April 15th to help my old company make it thru tax season. I told my old boss I need as many hours as they can give me given our financial situation ahead. Hopefully the job we have been waiting to hear from will either schedule an interview or let us know they hired someone else this week so we can quit thinking about it. He first applied 4 months ago and they didn't do anything until January so we already know they are super slow.

 

[babyhopes23]

Sorry to hear about your DH's job situation sherylb,

hopefully you will hear something from the other job or things might work out for you guys somehow. i cant imagine the stress TTC'ing might cause amidst all this., but it is upto you at the end of the day. wish you all the best of luck..x

Hello Ladies... welcome to all the new ladies to the thread... wishing you a very short stay in TTC!

Sarah... I'm back! We landed today! Am knackered and suffering all sorts of symptoms... but not holding on to too much hope as even if I am pregnant, it could result in a chemical like last month! so will try my very best to be calm and ignore symptoms for a few days, maybe a week.

I'll be testing tomorrow! x

Hope everyone else is good! Sheryl, sorry about your news!

I don't think we need to take a break. Last night DH asked me after I went to the bathroom if my calendar said today was the day.

 

[babyhopes23]

hahaha good for you then sheryl, get on with it !!

my temp dropped down to 36.6 toda so a bit disappointed. althought we BD'd last night and the night before, it might have been too late in my crazy cycle. today is CD36.

 

[MummyCat]

Morning...

Good news... I got a BFP thought Sarah might like to test her line eye on this

 

[NDH]

I can see it! And I'm probably just as bad as Sarah for spotting lines. Congrats!

 

[Huggles]

Congrats MummyCat! I can also see the line

 

[MummyCat]

Thanks ladies! It's not going to sink in for a while as I quite expect my period today or tomorrow... trying not to get my hopes up until I'm about a week late! Silly...I know... but last month I was 3 days late... so just being cautious!

Fingers crossed I see you in 1st tri soon! xxx

 

[babyhopes23]

Congratulations Mummy cat !!!

hope you have H&H 9 months !!

ladies.. today out of sheer curiosity i took a HPT. what i saw after like 1-2 mins was a very very very very very faint faint faint pink shadowy line.. i swear i wont upload it as you may not even see it because it is that faint.

i am already crying in hysterics but im not sure yet which is why im going bonkers and hysterical..

oh i do hope it is a BFP. 14 months ttc, we need this..

raying:

 

[babyhopes23]

im so worried because i can feel odd AF twinges, but i showed it to my DH and he says he can see it too. but its so very faint. im trying my best to upload the pics so you ladies could tell me if you see it too.
