Thanks hun.

I really hope this is your month too, it will be lovely having 2 children so close in age. Me and brother are close in age and it was nice always having someone to play with and stuff.

As for staying sane, I very much doubt that will happen. I'm going to try though.

yeah it so true...my brother and sister are like 11 months apart and are close, im 3 and 4 years apart from them, theres alot of different.

Hopefully the 2 weeks will go quickly for us all x



Peachyleesh - Hi hun, how u doing? x

 

[Emerson3]

Can I join in? LOL

I will be testing on the 31st if my period hasn't started.

Our third loss (1 year TTC) was at 6 weeks and that was September the 7th. My cycles have been screwed up since I weaned my youngest, looks like a classic case of low progesterone (short luteal phase of 8 or 9 days and repeated chemicals/early losses). I have a refferal into a fantastic OB/GYN, but they have been slow about calling me for an appointment. Cycle after last m/c was the most normal one I've had in years, 27 days, O'd on day 13 so I'm hopeful that this one follows suit. Taking a hormone stabilizing supplement recommended by my naturopath, as well as B6...above all else, I'm trying to learn to relax through this whole process.

We DTD a couple of times around ovulation, but I think we're both still a little gun shy so it was really a half hearted effort, but a girl can hope, can't she?

Looking forward to getting to know you ladies, best of luck to everyone testing!

Hey hun, sorry to hear about your losses, seems like you guys are going through quite abit

As for your appointment if i was you i would phone them up and see whats going on..my friend was waiting and waiting for hers untill she finally phoned them up too see whats going on...they then finally sent her out a date, she was waiting ages fo it. give them a call you never know it might help you as well

i have been using the clear blue ovulation monitor, and i have to say it the best thing ever. i would recommend any to use it whos ttc. i thought it was broken never going to work then i finally got my smiley face the other day. it saves alot of head games that you can get with opk.

good luck this month hun, hope you get your bfp again come the 31st xx

 

[Emerson3]

Thank you!

I've never had need for an OPK...my body clearly send me signs that I'm ovulating, staying pregnant seems to be the problem. I'm guessing I'll end up on a progesterone supplement if it comes to that. I'm finding it a hard to face that we need help to acheive what is supposed to be one of the most natural things s in the world

You're right, I will call when the office opens. I really hate to think that my paperwork got lost in the shuffle somewhere at the office, but it does happen and while TTC may be our priority, I doubt the doc's office sees it as one of their top ones.

I'm so glad you finally saw a smiley face!

Hello ladies, how are you all today? Welcome Emmerson3 - good to have another lady on board. We seem to be going along a similar route. I had a loss at 5+2 weeks on 7th Sept too. My cycles are regular but my progesterone levels have been a bit borderline so I wonder if that might be a problem for us (testing every month for the last 8-9 months). Good luck seeing your specialist. I agree- call them to chase the appointment. I am sure they won't mind. Try and relax - easier said than done I know!! - the cycle I did conceive was when I was fully relaxed on holidays. Look forward to hearing how you go. x

 

[babydeabreu]

Hey i'm good thanks Lala.

just did another test and ......still positive so looks like i will have to dtd again today. hopefully tomorrow want be positive so i can join you all in the dpo...

I've got bloatedness and pains down there so looks like it might be ovulation..i had it yesterday to, so maybe the eggy is moving down now?

Hi Lyns,
How are you doing?
I think you are supposed to ovulate within 12-36h of your first OPK + test. The LH can hang around for a few days in some women meaning the OPK may stay + even after ov. I think you are safely in the TWW now. Here's hoping for a BFP in less than the 2 weeks for both of us.
I'm now 5dpo and after a temp dip yesterday it is way up again today. I have had little twinges so I hope that's a good sign.

Hey Lala

oh your temp is up again and you got twinges already? sounds good so far hun, keeping my fingers crossed that u keep getting more and more sign of reaching bfp

well i dtd sunday, monday and tuesday so im hoping dtd three day will give me a high chance of catching eggy

both ic opk and monitor are negative today so looks like i am in the dpo

not far behind you hun, hope we all get bfp in couple of weeks xxx

 

[brittsho]

LalaR - I've been having TONS of pinching/twinges. Sometimes they itch!!
How is everyone else? Any more symptoms??

Today when I wiped I had to dots of red blood on the tp...like the size of the tip of a pencil... I thought implantation bleeding was either pink/brown & was bigger in size? Wonder what this could be???

I'm going to eat some chocolate & think about it

 

[LalaR]

Hi brittsho, I'm still having tiny little twinges/cramps. Temping is going good - staying well above the coverline now.
Not had any spotting like yours so far. I think implantation bleeding could show like your spotting - either that or you have had a little bit of trauma to the cervix from BDing or if you check your CP/CM. I hope it is IB!!
Have you been seeing a specialist for long? Hopefully they will work some magic soon. x

 

[babydeabreu]

Hey brittsho - IB could be light as well as spotting heavy....so dont give up hun plus its way to early for af..so it may just be IB..well i hope so

Lala - hope the twinges and cramping are a very good sign for you xx

as for me, im still getting kinda of ovulation pains like i got the other day, do you think i should bed? or do you think it could just be eggy getting comfortable? x

 

[brittsho]

LalaR...first met my FS in April 2011. He's so awesome, which makes it less stressful! I'm nervous about the 2 drops of red blood as I've heard many who had chemicals w/ that. Every woman is different though, so fx!! When are you testing? Sunday is 10dpo for me, so I just may have to see

Babydeabreu....We didn't miss a day (sometimes twice) for about a week straight...plus had IUI. I would DTD just to be safe! Plus its always fun

 

[PrincessTaz]

Hey Ladies, hope everyone's having a good day.

Looks like there's some good positive signs and symptoms going on, hopefully we'll be seeing some soon. I've written this month off as I haven't had any symptoms and I'm 5dpo, I'd had loads last month before I got my BFP. I wasn't holding out much hope this month without the meds anyway. Just hope af is on time so I can start the 2nd round of clomid.

While I'm here I was wondering if you guys could help me out. My OH doesn't think coming on here is good for me. I only joined after the chemical just for support really. He say's I'm obsessing about getting pregnant too much, paying too much attention to statistics and he thinks that seeing other people getting their BFP will get me depressed if it doesn't happen to me. I guess I do obsess a little but one of us has to or we'll never get preggers lol.

I completely disagree with him and have told him that I won't be stopping using BnB anytime soon. I do agree with that whole statistics thing, it does get me down when I google figures and percentages. But coming on here and seeing other people getting the BFP and hearing the success stories doesn't upset me, quite the opposite, it gives me hope. Every time I see someone posting their good news it just makes me happy knowing that's there's one less woman going through what I've gone through month after month.

Have any of you ever had anything similar with your OH?

 

[brittsho]

Hi Princess....my hubby told me to stop "googling" things because it only makes you.think about the worst possible outcome, stuff I find is not always true, etc. I do agree with that, however I dont think men understand the level of emotion a woman has toward her fertility. That being said, I think if BnB makes you feel better I don't think you should stop using it. Plus I'm sure he has an obsession or two as well!

 

[LalaR]

Hi princess. My DH has no idea I even use this site!! I am of the opinion that if someone is going to obsess then nothing can be done to stop it and at least this site is supportive. Because of my job I know too much about the problem side of things so BnB reminds me of all the positive stories. Good luck this cycle. L x

 

[PrincessTaz]

Thanks brittsho

And yes he does have a few obsessions... Football, football and more football! lol

I just thinks because he's the kind of person that hides his emotions and bottles things up, even with me, he doesn't understand my need to communicate my emotions. I need to get my thoughts, feelings and frustrations off my chest and this is the perfect place to do it. With other women that understand and don't judge. I'm going to try and explain to him properly why this is a positive thing and I'm sure he'll understand better then, I know he just worries about me bless him.

 

[Mrs.Resa]

Hello ladies, can i join in the wait? This is my first month actually TTC. I have only used OPKs so far and i got a pos on the 17th and 18th so i think i'll be testing on the 31st, if i can hold out that long that is lol...Good luck to everyone!

yeah we have bed everyday since sunday....but today i dont think its posible as my OH is not well.

but definitely agree its alot of fun lol

My oh is fine with it, he actually like the fact i come on here and talk to you girls..it fines it healthy, long as he knows whats going on in my cycle and knows whats going on first he's completely all for it

I think he would ruther me come on here and talk to you than be all bovered and stressed with thoughts in myhead..that you girls would understand alot more. its like me talking to pete about football when i havent really got a clue..i might know little bits about players and teams but not full on like he does. this is the same you girls no and understand the whole cycle thing

That's good to know, Lala. It was confusing me to try to count dpo with 3 dys of positive opks even when I could tell (through pains and ewcm) that I'd probably already o'd.
