First of all, TNT, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!
Yes, better not to have an accident on the way to the dr though.
Ttc, this is our 9th cycle of ttc #1. The only thing I've had so far (since it hasn't been a year, and I'm only 31) is blood work by my regular doc. She tested progesterone, estrogen, LH, and several other things. They all came back great! I have no issues that I know of...regular cycles, normal periods, etc., so I guess it's just taking a while. Lucky me.
We're testing dh's
just to "cross it off the list" and so I can relax a little. If I just knew it would happen, but it would take a while, I'd be completely fine. Like if God would just say, it'll happen in April, I'd be like cool. But each month it doesn't happen, I worry. And I'm like you...we have done EVERYTHING right the last two cycles, and I mean we could not have timed it any more perfectly, but alas. Bfns.
With that said, though, I've had friends who have done everything right for a long time, and finally got their bfp. No explanation, which is super annoying.
Ny, great to see you again! I was wondering where you'd been the last couple of days.
It's okay to start temping in the middle of a cycle. In my opinion the more data you have, the better. I also have had some tummy issues with Maca lately, and was wondering if that was normal. My appetite has been a lot lower (which I suppose is not a bad thing), but I've had some tummy aches in the evenings after dinner. I started with 500 mg for a week, and just upped it to 1000 mg. Maybe it's just our body getting used to it? I always take it with breakfast, so it's not even on an empty stomach.
Dandy, I anxiously asked my dh if he had "pleasured" himself in the last few days because of his SA today and he smiled and said do you really want to know? I said okay never mind.
He was like everything is under control. LOL! Well okay then! I didn't know they would send a guy home if he hadn't in the last week, though! That's good if you think about it...I'm sure he would have had a low count, so it's better to get an accurate result.
Never, 18 days!! I remember when my dh was gone for the army the first time and I had a countdown, too. We couldn't even email or talk on the phone, and it was horrible!! I'm so excited for you!
