Sticking Together Until We All Get BFP's!!!!

[mdscpa]

Hi ladies - may I join here too?


I'm 30 and ttc #2, cycle 4. I'm on cd14 today and ff has given me crosshairs for cd11 but i'm not totally convinced as my temps are normally higher after O. I'd quite like a break from dtd though, lol.

I'll have a flick through some of these recent pages and see if i can get up the speed with where everyone is at but congratulations to those with bfps, babydust to those trying and best of luck to everyone.

(edited for spelling - darn predictive text!)

Welcome Kealz. Hope you'll like it here..... FF says .4 F or .2 C thermal shift usually happens after O so maybe FF is right.. Let's wait few more days if your temps stay elevated to confirm you really O'ed.

FX you get your #2.


"The temperature rise that occurs after ovulation is usually about 0.4 degrees Fahrenheit or 0.2 degrees Celsius, but the rise may be more slight than that. The actual temperatures are less important than noting an overall biphasic pattern (a pattern that shows lower temperatures followed by higher temperatures). For ovulation to be confirmed, you need to have several sustained temperatures in the higher range."

Ok, I guess O hasn't occurred. I'm kinda over his waiting game.

Welcome, Kealz!!!! Hope you enjoy our group! I understand what you mean about wanting a BD break, we unintentionally have taken one the past few days, and it's been nice to not have to make sure we BD. FX you see a beautiful chart very soon!!!

 

[mdscpa]

Oh, sorry about the temp drop Kenna. FX it will go back up tomorrow. I'd BD anyway today if I were you just in case.

 

[aidensmommy1]

Awe no Kenna! Are u going to start bding every other night again for the next few days? I really hope u get that rise asap and right after u BD! FX! Ugh, I still cant believe it didn't rise more .
My temp didn't rise either but I also was woken up at 430 rather than 5 so who knows if its on or not but that's ok, temps matter more starting 7dpo any how

kealz, welcome to the group! If u take a look at my charts, ull see slow rising charts are quite normal Sometimes it can take a few days for the progesterone to build up or we get second surges and that can also keep our temps down a little lower. I'm hoping for a nice nice rise tomorrow..fx! Also, estrogen tends to be higher in bfp cycles, which the estrogen surges can be visible through temps on ur chart sometimes so low temps could be a good sign for u...and hopefully me too this cycle! My temps are really low still but FX it all leads to our bfps! Good luck!!!

Anyone feels your bladder is full but then you go to the bathroom and only have few to pee and you get up but still it's full? I don't know if this should count as symptom though.

 

[Wishing1010]

It could also be the symptom of a UTI, Daphne. If you get any other symptoms, please make sure you get that checked out!

And, I will try to BD tonight. Had every intention of doing so last night but I ended up in a horrible mood and couldn't do it.

And Mary, I think your chart still looks great! FX it's even better tomorrow!!!

 

[mdscpa]

Thanks Kenna.. Will keep an eye of it. And if i feel like something is wrong I'd definitely go get checked. So far my temp rose, but i'm not keeping my hopes up until i made it through 12,13,14 or 15dpo.... I know it will drop again mid-LP like the previous one.

 

[Megamegan]

Daphne, sometimes if I sleep funny I'll feel that really full bladder sensation no matter if I pee or not. It's so weird. I've had 3 UTI's in the past year so I'm well aware of what to look for there- sometimes if you only feel it on the inside, it means you have a UTI closer to your kidneys which is dangerous and needs emergency attention. So do keep an eye out on if the pain goes away. It will get worse if it's a UTI. Hope it's not.

On the other hand, I started feeling a full/pressure bladder this cycle around maybe... 4 or 5 dpo, and it continued until after I got my BFP. It was one of the only symptoms that didn't go away that convinced me to test. That, plus a weird shooting pain in my lower back that was totally brand new.

Good luck to everyone

 

[mdscpa]

Hi megan, good to hear from you again.... I don't feel any pain when peeing. It's just that i feel like i need to pee.... You know the feeling when you drink lots and lots of water but then i only have few drops.... Hope it's something good... Would you mind posting your bfp chart? I'd like to see how was your temp the cycle you got your bfp.

 

[Megamegan]

Daphne- I hope it's something good too... but I also want you to be aware that you can get a UTI without pain when peeing, like I said if it's one that is into your kidneys, you might not feel anything besides that full bladder feeling. Just keep it in mind, if the pain in your abdomen gets worse, it could be that. I hope it doesn't get worse though!!

This link should work, but, I didn't temp after getting my BFP at around 8 dpo. I didn't want the extra stress of wondering why my temp was lower or higher.

[mdscpa]

Thanks megan.... Will surely keep that in mind and gonna get immediate action once i feel something wrong. By the way, when was your appointment again?

 

[Megamegan]

Sorry my ticker is still in Spoiler mode... My first appt with the nurse is next Wednesday and my first ultrasound is Tuesday the 8th. I'll be a little over 7 weeks at my first ultrasound.

Can't wait to see the results. Please do keep us posted. I maybe due from Wednesday through Friday. Hopefully i can test by Saturday... Been wanting to try FRER. Until now it's unused since i bought them.... TWW is like forever......

Meg: all the best! yay for scan, do share scna picture if you can!

mdscpa you said it! I don't know for sure if I O'ed this cycle bcos I didn't temp. AF shows up earlier and earlier when I know how many DPO I am and as a result I never got to test last few cycles

pretty much everytime this happens to me, its either a uti or kidney infection. Ive had MANY of them in just 2 years a few yrs back and 1 didn't hurt sooo long that my kidney swelled out of my back before I feel it! It was insane! But almost every other time, I could feel at least some sort of pain within a wk of it starting..it was just a few times that I never would have known if it wasn't for that "urge to pee" feeling. Just keep an eye on it.
I do want to add that because pregnancy brings down the immune system and such, uti's can be a sign of pregnancy but obv ppl get utis everyday so its not a great sign but even without this sign, I have a great feeling for u! Cannot wait for u to test!

THIS IS ONE OF THE NEW FEELINGS IVE BEEN GETTING ALL EXCITED OVER!! LOL FX sooo tight! Its been for 2 days straight now, ALOT of abnormal pressure! I felt a little bit on 3dpo more towards my tube area but then it made its way closer to my abdomen. We'll see. Watch, its guna be a gas bubble that's just moving around my lower belly lol. I haven't been very gassy tho so is be surprised if that's what it was. I am sure of one thing, I'm going to get checked through u/s and everything next cycle to check me out because if this isn't pregnancy related, there's gota be something else going on. I know my head isn't making up these pinches, cramps and pressure that I'm feeling. FX for pregnancy!

 

[aidensmommy1]

Daphne, if ur anxious to test earlier, I see alot of women "test the hcg out of their system" so they can really test for their bfp . Just an idea since IM so impatient! Lol

Lol..... Actually i've been thinking the same thing. But maybe using cheap opk to test my hcg out (if that can detect that) or if i can find hpt test strips here i would, hitting two birds in one stone. But i know DH would rather choose testing once af is late. I might convince him though.

Meg: How exciting!

I feel like I've reached a milestone today already. I was looking back in my previous posts and realized with my last pregnancy I started bleeding at 4 weeks 3 days, and continued to bleed until 10 weeks (I was diagnosed with a SCH). But yet present day - everything is still going smoothly! I keep peeping in on the first trimester board but it really freaks me out because everyone is posting about spotting and worrying and it's causing me stress! I'm not going to participate really over there until the second trimester. Trying to keep calm!!

Good luck to everyone!
