Planting our Garden of May Flowers - May Testing Thread

[Feline]

So this evening.....15 dpo I got a faint line on an IC test. Hubby and a couple go friendssaw it so pretty sure I havent got line eye.

After a couple of chemicals last year I am nervous, will test again tomorrow (and every day) with fmu until I am convinced. AF due tomorrow

That's v exciting Michnorm!! Wow, fingers crossed you have the smoothest best next few days/weeks possible!! xx

 

[Feline]

Feline I'm hoping for you too! Last time I was pregnant it was a "accident" as well on one day..so definitely possible

That's really encouraging to hear Cornfieldland!! I so hope it'll happen. I'm tring to stay realistic - he part withdrew (sorry for TMI) but he did still release some of his boys, so to speak. :-D So, it might be one in a million but it is still possible. The next week will be hell waiting...I wish I did temps...xx

thanks, Feline! though I'm hosting this thread this month, I don't think i'll be testing until the very beginning of June. I'm mid-IVF right now, retrieval will probably be sometime this week and we'll do the 5-day wait until the transfer, so that will probably be next week. Then I'm not really supposed to test on my own b/c I'll already be loaded up with meds that make my body look preggo so I have to wait 2 weeks for their blood test. Oh well! it'll come soon enough!

FX'ed for your hopin' and wishin' and praying' and thinkin'

Wow, Wishtobmom ... I hadn't realised you were in the middle of IVF - well done for getting to this point. My brother has been through it with his wife several times (and they have two children to show for it!) so I know what a toll it takes on you physically and emotionally. I hope this (and June) are your months. I'll check out the June testing thread to keep pace with your news! How are you feeling about it all?

Wishing you an armful of baby dust so strong it makes you sneeze all night.

I'm 15 DPO. LP is usually 14 days. BFN this morning. Now, I'm anxious for AF so that I can plant some seeds for June!

hope - I'm definitely NOT a POAS addict!! I'm too cheap and I like my sanity a little too much I obsess over so much that I try to keep at least one thing in check and that's the one that costs money. Though who knows - this is a whole new world so I might be peeing every hour on a stick!

feline - thank you so much! I was sneezing all weekend, how nice of you!! I'm feeling great - the toughest part has been not having a glass of wine or beer with friends. I broke down and had half a beer yesterday and it actually didn't taste too good. (not supposed to have alcohol while on these injectables b/c they interfere with the processing of alcohol). But the needles are fine, the meds make me EXHAUSTED, but I'm sleeping like a baby. My follicles are responding well, I should be triggering either tonight or tomorrow! Hopefully the rest of the process goes as smoothly, but at least I know I'm responding!

mitchnorm - eeeee!! updates and I'll throw that big ole on your name!!!!! FX'ed!!!!

TTC - ugh, I'm so sorry, dear!!

 

[TTC74]

Fortunately AF arrived this morning. So, I'm off to a fresh start on an unmedicated cycle until my RE comes up with our next step. Until then, I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for a surprise BFP.

 

[Wish2BMom]

good luck, TTC!!!!

Yeah you had best remove that BFP.....although I did get one, ad arrived this morning 2 days late....so it was either a false positive or very early CP

 

[Wish2BMom]

well that's a kick in the jaw - I'm sorry!
I hadn't added it yet, I was hoping for some line porn. But still...I was HOPING for some line porn!! FX'ed for next month. Are you going to try anything different?

I am throwing a load of herbs and supplements at it next month plus the usual opks and temping...I'm 42 in 10 days so feeling a little disheartened to say the least.

Thanks x

Aww Mitch don't be too disheartened. I know it's hard, I've had a down day myself today and it sucks. I'm not to far behind you as well
My friend got pregnant by surprise around 43 and everything was perfect so it's totally possible. So many women in here have! Have a glass of fresh starts next cycle!

 

[Wish2BMom]

what cornfield said! have a glass for me too!
my friend who is pushing 42 just got preggo on her own as well, after 3 failed IVF attempts. Things can happen!

Glad you were sneezing Wishtobmom - my baby dust is STRONG stuff!!

I feel ya on the wine front ... TTC is super-stressful - and it's the one time you can't hit the vino to get by...it totally sucks! I found that replacing it with another non-alcoholic drink that tasted yummy was the only way I could get by ... it was sort of comforting.

Good luck over the next few days ... stay strong!

Aww, Michnorm, that completely sucks...so sorry to hear that. xx

I'm 42 this July so I hear where you're coming from. If it helps you to know - my father was born to my grandmother when she was in her 40s ... and after a whole lifetime and marriage of trying for a baby (she was married in her early 20s). You never know when it'll happen. xx

Hi, everyone (and hello Cornfield again!)! I'd love to join. May 19, please!

Hi Annie one week left for you! Woohoo!

 

[Wish2BMom]

welcome, AnnieMac! Good luck!!

 

[Feline]

Couldn't resist peeing on a stick today ...despite knowing that EVEN if I was preggo, there's a less than zero chance it would show this early. Of course, BFN. The next few days is going to be costly!

How many DPO are you feline?

 

[AnnieMac2]

I just have to report that I just met a woman who is 49 and six months pregnant (and with no assistance). The baby will be born after she turns 50! She started a new relationship and it was a total surprise.
