Roll up, roll up! Statistical chance of at least one BFP! - *15th BFP Announced!*

[LilLeafyLea]

Hi Jehovahs, sorry for dragging you back from your break! Hope the time away from SS has done you the world of good. It definitely takes a toll on you when you are finding a ttc-related reason for everything! Could I be pregnant?...

- My stomach gurgled...Oh It's because I'm hungry,
- I feel really full and bloated... Oh It's because of my PMS or I've just eaten a massive dinner followed by a pudding!
- I feel really gassy...Said dinner and pud repeating on me!
- I feel really emotional...It's PMS and not being bleedin' pregnant yet!

Oh how I feel your pain! We're due af on the same day so hoping for good news all round! x

hey gals... AF is over for me... back to TTC!

 

[LilLeafyLea]

Hi Pola, glad you're back on the BD bus!!

I'm having no symptoms whatsoever this month. AF is due on Sunday and I usually have extremely sore boobies in the week running up to af and spotting a few days before. I'm so surprised that I haven't had any of these so if af does show up at least she has gone easy on me this month! Of course my dream would be a BFP this cycle but it's getting increasingly harder to see myself achieving one!

Hope everyone else is doing ok x

I think it's horrible being a LTTC-er because like you say the negativity gets the better of you. However, I know a girl on here that got her after 4 years if trying

I'm symptomless few uterine twinges but nothing to write about really I'm going to on Monday if I can wait that long. Because my break was forced by having a MC I'm a little more optimistic that it can happen and it's like I just started TTC remember when you had your first cycle TTC and you thought it would happen straight away? Sad really cause I will be heartbroken.

I hope that is planning a biiiiiig break for you!

LilLeafyLea - Thanks, that's ridiculous that your husband got a letter for someone else, that's a pretty big cock up there!

I've been feeling a bit more annoyed about the problem with the lab not doing my CD21 test properly because I've been working out the dates for the next two CD21s and one is during a week when I can't take the time off work for the test and the other is just after Christmas when the health centre is closed. It's annoying that one mistake can hold things up so much.

The tests the doctor had were from the last cycle, so I'm sure the Doctor didn't have results there that she should have told me about. But I'm right at the end of the cycle now, getting twinges but I'm hoping that perhaps she's psychic or something.

I know what you all mean about noticing every little twinge. I've been writing down every symptom every day this cycle, right from CD1 that way if I've had a runny nose and I think it's a symptom I can look back and remind myself that I quite often get runny noses without being pregnant.

 

[MrsFX]

Leafy. It will happen. How is ur DH. I hope that u get the results ASAP. I don't feel pg (not that I Know what that feels like) think I'm day 18/19 going to have my cd 21 bloods taken tomorro if I remember.

Pola best of bding luck!!

Baby dust to u ladies that are waiting.

Hi ladies, I just wanted to let you know I finally got my !!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[LilLeafyLea]

Jaynie, glad to hear the ttc clock has been reset for you. I'm sure that's it's keeping your positivity levels up and I've got everything crossed on Monday for you!

My God! 4 years must have seemed like a lifetime. Did she conceive with fertility treatment? I couldn't imagine waiting that long, you'd be a different person at the end of that journey.

Oh convinced me not to take a test today saying I'm too impatient and should just hold out until Sunday! I'll be up at 6am knicker checking and if no af I will pee at will!

Hi Naneth yep, I was pretty annoyed about it but Oh isn't a complainer like me! I can imagine they've posted info about him to the other recipient also but OH thinks not...men!

I see the predicament with your 21 day test. How very annoying. If your thoughts about your Dr are true you may not need the test at all!

The runny nose thing is annoying. I seem to get a cold at the same time every cycle; the week after I O. Apart from being filled with phlegm it fills me with extreme hope of a BFP. I really should have learned my lesson by now! Perhaps I should write things down too!

Thanks Mrs, I really hope so too! OH is so eager to find out the results now!

OH actually bought an old Microscope set from a charity shop about a month ago. It was a really old German kids set but the actual microscope was pretty well constructed. It has the 3 x magnification complete with iodine solution and two boxes of slides. One box had pre-made slides showing cross sections of rats organs, a flies wing etc. and the other, a box of unused slides. So, of course we went about putting OH's swimmers to the test (too much fun collecting the sample)!

To our sheer amazement we could see the swimmers whizzing by! A few that seemed a bit lazy but the majority seemed to be on a right mission! That put his mind at ease knowing that he can at least produce sperm. Just hoping the morphology, motility and count are all good too!

Really hope the bloods go ok for you tomorrow missy. I hate having bloods taken. Needles don't bother me, it's my veins that I have an issue with - blurgggh!

I know what you mean about the not feeling preg thing and end every month I've focused on symptoms rather than intuition or emotion but this month I feel funny. I wish I could feel the pregnancy feeling for 5mins just to compare it! I've been getting the pre-queasy feeling all day if that makes sense?! Not full blown nausea but just an unsettling feeling...hmm!

Sorry for really long post! I'm a gobby git I know! x

 

[LilLeafyLea]

Hi ladies, I just wanted to let you know I finally got my !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Arghhhh Peters congratulations hunni!!! Made up for you, I know it hasn't been an easy road for you and I hope you have a happy and healthy 9m!

Would you attribute the BFP to anything in particular that you've been trying this cycle or just lots of BD'ing?

Well done! xxx

 

[Peters Pooky]

I did soy this cycle, then my gram passed and I completely forgot about ttc... We only BD 3 times and 2 were standing up in the shower (sorry tmi) but positiom really doesn't matter I guess lol

 

[HisGrace]

Hi ladies, I just wanted to let you know I finally got my !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations!

 

[firstbaby25]

Congrats Peters H&H 9 months to you and

Leafy - no she just kept trying I don't think they qualified for fertility treatment! She's naturally pregnant! Gives hope huh?

After my crazy temp cycle I'm resisting the urge to I'm a cause I'm only 7dpo

 

[LilLeafyLea]

Peters, so sorry to hear about your gram I'm sure your BFP has come at the best possible time to help you and your family overcome the grief.
Thanks for the info, it's typical the month you BD the least and for the fun of it is the lucky one!

Jaynie, that is reassuring to us LTTTC'ers! I bet she went into shock upon seeing that second line!

Your temps are quite extreme! From such a severe Ov dip to some nice highs there, I would definitely be a happy bunny with that! Hope you have the will power to refrain from testing and all of your patience pays off come Pee-Day!

I'm still not experiencing any pre af symptoms! Each day that passes I'm feeling more anxious! I'm petrified of testing and seeing a BFN and know that I will be more upset than any other month if I do. At the same time I'm dying to test to put me out of my misery! If af is due on Sunday I think I've got a pretty good chance of getting an accurate result if I tested today? Oh the anguish!

 

[HisGrace]

I'm supposed to test on Sunday too, but I cheated and tested on Wednesday. BFN - but I was tired of thinking about it and just wanted to know one way or the other. Don't cheat like I did. LOL. Hold out until Sunday. Enjoy your weekend (or at least the first half of it) and try not to think about it. Then you'll get a nice and the second half of your weekend will be fabulous.

I think you'd get accurate result. How long is LP normally? I think that weighs on whether you would get one or not...

I ed and now today shall henceforth be called testgate. I don't see a line on wet tests and then as any respectful TTC er does I kept the test and looked 15-20 mins later and a very smudged pink line has made it's way to the test want to know one way or another!!
