Our journeys to baby #2

[FTale]

Div: Was just checking out some of your previous cycles and this one is different for sure. Your temps haven't taken an 'obvious' shift to indicate O. Are you under alot of stress or anything? I know stress can delay it a bit.

If you know you have already O'd (O pains), then you are just having a slow rise.

Hope it jumps up there soon. I'd keep bding though just incase.

 

[flou]

Good luck to all of you in the tww! I hope there is some bfps soon!

DS' birthday party was a success and he loved his gruffalo chocolate fudge cake. DS said he wanted it but even though I can make a decent sponge, constructing into a gruffalo would be too difficult. So I brought a gruffalo cake topper from amazon and stuck it on the chocolate fudge cake I made. DS loved it, so I was happy.

I think my body is gearing up to ovulate and then I will be in the tww. Should ovulate either Monday or Tuesday. Hope to catch the egg!

 

[FTale]

Thank you flou!!

You are awesome for even trying. I never do. He's one lucky little guy.

What opks will you be using or are you already using them?

 

[flou]

I don't really use opks. I have in the past when ttc DS but I found it too much pressure. I can tell my body is getting ready because I start getting watery cm and O pain on my right hand side. I get this for much of my fertile window. I also track my cycle on flo. So we just make sure bd every other day at this time and hope for the best.

 

[FTale]

Flou: Good. You are in tune with your body. I could stand not to waste money as well. But I have gotten so addicted to seeing the lines.

I think it is more calming though.


You know I'm 7dpo today and my body has gone quiet. I've been ick all week now I'm looking around all lol

Meh, ill take it, as Friday deserves a well me to go shopping.

How are you doing?

Lilac?? You doing ok?

 

[mdscpa]

FX you get a rise tomorrow and FF finally gives you CH.

How are you feeling?

I think I'm going to get sick. Woke up nauseous and my back hurts. Had to ask DH to give me some massage. FX i didn't just catch a bug or something. Or it could just be due to hormones.

 

[FTale]

Mdscpa: I bet its hormones. Looking at your chart seems as though you are at your peak. Lets hope your sickness is due to a baby growing.
Do you feel hot after ovulating? Or any chills?

 

[mdscpa]

I hope there's really a baby in there. After O, i do feel hot and get chills but not with anov cycles. So those two symptoms are kind of normal to me. I don't feel really hot this cycle (not so very high temps as well) which makes me think there's not enough progesterone in my body again. Just a few more days and we'll know.

BTW, your chart really looks amazing. FX it stays that way.

 

[FTale]

Your temps are high! They look as high as mine. I'm over the moon because my body is doing it without Clomid/Progesterone (super shocked still).

I was curious about my progesterone levels as well. I took progest test strips off of amazon. I was so confused by them but the company said my tests looked positive for ovulation. Sooooo, with our temps being the same, I'm guessing we ovulated over 10.

A few more days and we'll get to see what's what.

For once my tests aren't burning a whole in my pocket. I don't want a bfn to still the hope I have away right now from my temps I did test yesterday but that was for fun...7dpo fun

FX our temps stay up!!!

 

[mdscpa]

I'm like .10 lower than yours considering our coverline. FX we really had a healthy O. Like you, I'd rather wait it out than see a BFN early on that I know will destroy all the hope I have. Not saying I'm not tempted to test but my fear of seeing a bfn is getting in my nerves.

I really hope our temps stay high and up this last week of TWW. When will you test again? My sickness is like my symptoms when taking clomid. I O with it but have a very bad side effects.

I need to stop staring at my chart every second wondering what my temp will be tomorrow and the next. It's driving me insane.

 

[FTale]

I will test on Monday if my temps are still high. I feel so awful sitting hear waiting for them to drop. It's all I know
If it drops tomorrow, then I will know there is no need to test at all.
Clomid can make you sick alright. If you are feeling wiggy without it that's a big indicator your hormones are rising.
Seems like this part of the cycle takes forever to get to. Now I want time to slow down

 

[mdscpa]

Goodluck on your test on Monday. FX it's BIG FAT POSITIVE!!!!


AFM - I might test the earliest on the 12th (12dpo my guess and 14dpo as per FF) provided I reach that point with still high temp and no AF. As much as I hate waiting, I too want it to slow down as I'm getting so nervous/anxious. My fear level increases during the last week every cycle and I hate that I can't do anything but wait. It's also the time that my temps start dropping.

 

[DiviniumLiv]

FTale: No, I'm not more stressed this month than I have been before. So I guess there is other reasons for my bbt to act like this.

I am pretty sure when I ovulated, since I always feel it pretty well. Always have a lot of ovulation pain that ends a day or two after my temp rise. I got crosshairs yesterday btw.

The heavy feeling in my uterus has been replaced with more of a dull cramp. Can hardly eat anything without getting heartburn.

 

[FTale]

mdscpa: You said it. I'm a ball of nerves with you.

Div: Your temps are climbing. I hear women talk about a heavy feeling uterus before bfp. I don't know what that feels like but I hope it means bfp for you as well. I'm so out of it this morning I feel like I told you that already

Did FF give you a triphastic message yet?

 

[flou]

Good luck ftale and mdscpa with testing. I hope its bfps for the both of you.

Divi symptoms seem good. Fx you've got a little bean in there!

 

[DiviniumLiv]

FTale: I hope you're wrong about the feeling that you're out. Your chart looks good.

No, FF doesn't count it as triphasic just yet.


flou: Thanks. I sure hope it's a sticky bean.

 

[mdscpa]

Temp drop today. Expecting her tomorrow. I don't think I can continue TTC I have to come to terms that we'll only have one child.

 

[FTale]

mdscap: I don't know the future but I think excepting that it may be your future or even for myself is the first step to letting go of all the pent up stress/sadness. I don't remember if you or your hubby had tests done or not. But if you haven't don't give up till you have truly tried everything. Life doesn't always work out the way we have prepainted it in our heads to be. Somethings are worth the extra struggle and bending a little.
FX for you in whatever you decide to do.

 

[mdscpa]

We've seen a specialist before and I was diagnosed with PCOS and DH doesn't have a problem. I've been on clomid route for few cycles with no luck 2 months after my last clomid cycle was when we conceived DS. It was a miracle as we already gave up and started talking about IVF. Not really sure now if I'm open to taking clomid again just to help me ovulate. It's just heartbreaking each cycle. Of course, NTNP won't do us any better than TTC so we might just continue I just need some time to be sad right now and vent. My apologies if you read all that.

 

[FTale]

Me too mdscpa. I don't ovulate really well without Clomid and hubby's sperm is great. Its my eggs that won't cooperate. I still have one more test to do and after reading your post...I'm going to do it (had decided not to because of the money). Some times we just need a lil help. I'm going to do the test and if all the results come back normal, (including bloodtests) I will try IUI and then IVF (find the money some where) And if that doesn't work, I'll live life while paying off the bills but no more stressing about having another child when the one I've got is pretty darn cute.
