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

Cheryl, welcome to TWW.

Fantastic chart Mary!!

Jess, do what you can Hun. You've had some great bd so far.

Had my official low AF drop. Phew. Ready for this cycle! You ladies have any thoughts on angus cactus ?

I have never tried it, I hope one of these other lovely ladies can answer that! Just did want to read and not respond!

 

[mrsbreen]

Well, so much for that plan. I swear my life is on repeat. Have a period, have great sex leading up to fertile window, get close to o and hubby can't finish on crucial days, ovulate only hitting 1-2 days, get period and start all over. I seriously want to cry right now!

It really sounds to me like he might be really stressed out by the ttc and that's why crucial days end in failure. Maybe you could fib, say your cycle is odd and that you aren't in your fertile window (when you really are) next month and see if that helps him. Or you could try something new during your fertile window, like giving each other sensual nude massages (if y'all like to experiment) and see if that does the trick. If nothing else helps, you may have to take a month or so off tracking temping and opk's to help him relax. On, the other hand, maybe an outside stress factor is messing things up. Definitely communicate to see what is stressing him, then take what you know about him and yourself and come up with a few experiments. FX that everything works for you and you soon see your BFP!!

That's what I had thoughts about before and brought it up at the gynos but she didn't say there was any. I remembered feeling this before in July I was 10 days late probably unrelated but after having a bm it stopped hurting. So I think maybe, hopefully it's constipation. my honey asked if I felt better this morning, cause I passed gas all night and I actually do feel better. Thank you for your input.

 

[mrsbreen]

This Maybe tmi but after I had a bm the cramping eased up. so maybe just constipated?
I haven't tracked any temps but maybe I should start? I've kept a log of my periods and when we have done the deed

Hi mrsbreen, i would suggest you try temping it's amazing and you'll get to know how your cycle works... This will help you pinpoint O, how long your luteal phase is (mostly the same +- 2/3 days), and if your is well-timed.... And it's better if you use it together with OPKs.. This way you won't be in a limbo whether you Oed already or not yet.

Still i wish you get your this cycle so you wont have to try all that....

Lots of baby to you hun

Thank you for this advice! I am sorta new to this world. Is there a certain thermometer to use too and do I have to check it at the exact same time ever day? Any apps to track and log it?

Ladies, I just wanted to let all of you know that are still trying that I think of you all everyday and you are in my prayers!

I so 2nd everything Daphne said about using opks and temping.

I listened to her and the other ladies on the thread and took their advice. I started using opks this cycle from cd 10 twice and day and temped my bbt. 1st month doing both and I got my

FX for you and loads of

That's amazing congratulations! If it doesn't happen this cycle, I'll be doing that for sure.

Use basal body thermometer not the usual thermometer. And you have to at least temp at the same time everyday the moment you wake up and try not to move much as this will affect your temp. It sounds stressful but you'll get use to it... Use fertility friend, you can either subscribe to it or not it's fine. All the ladies here can help you interpret it.

Yes, Exact time every single day. Set your alarm and have your digital thermometer on the night stand next to your bed. Before moving, drinking water, talking etc take your temp.
Even on weekends etc you have to take it at the same time. You can always go back to sleep after.

Most ladies use Fertility Friend to keep track of their charts. I did and I liked it a lot.

I used a normal digital thermometer but that was because I started temping impulsively and it worked okay. That having been said I learnt out of my own experience that it is best to get the real thing, basal body thermometer as this one measures your temp to .00 and is therefore more accurate.

Oh and dont forget to add your chart into your signature if you do start temping as we love stalking

Hahahahah sorry for the information overload Mrsbreen... you'll notice that Daphne and I post the same things at the same time

Feeling pretty down about this cycle. Hubby was unable to perform last night and this morning. He did do his thing and gave me a very small (like 1.5ml) amount that I was able to inject up in there. I have no idea if I did it right or not. Basically I sucked it up in a sterile syringe and then put it right up to my cervix and pushed the plunger down. It has since been pretty moist in my undies so I'm thinking what was there has slid out. Needless to say I'm pretty damn depressed now.

 

[mdscpa]

You may wanna check this thermometer. I use this one since it reads 1/100 degrees.

Sorry about DH. Hoping he'll be able to tonight and the next days though. Maybe he's body needs time to build those super . I have a feeling that O will happen tomorrow for you and we'll see a dip in your temp. FX it happens like that...

 

[mrsbreen]

if I don't get a BFP you will definitely be seeing my charts

I hope some swimmers stayed in there for you, hun.

Hello, ladies. I am officially back in the wonderful (NOT!!) land of TWW. FF hasn't confirmed O yet, but I am pretty sure I did late yesterday or am today.

Almost + OPK Thursday night, then dark, clear + OPK Fri and Sat, fading OPK line yesterday. Temp dipped a bit over the weekend then went up this morning, although I had very bad sleep so the 97.1 I got was after only a few solid hours toward morning... not sure if that means my BBT is accurate or should be lower??

DH and I BDed Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and yesterday - bases covered! And I had EWCM til yesterday, so barely needed the Pre-Seed - I just used a bit on the outside for comfort.

I did not get my usual extreme fatigue and hunger on the day of O - in fact, today I barely have any appetite and am perky. Who knows... but I did "feel" very fertile last week/weekend. FX

Hoping for higher temps the rest of this week and beyond... we shall see. Now it's on with the waiting, no wine, and trying not to obsess over every twinge and sensation... My game plan is to get a lot of work done, work on creative projects and start holiday planning!

What is YOUR news, everyone? Hard to keep up!

FX for your BFP June!!! You must put your chart in your signature so that we can stalk it

I thought it was?? Weirdddddddddddd

 

[mdscpa]

That's great starryjune... Guessing you're on TWW already.... Now we have another chart to stalk

 

[WunnaBubba2]

another chart! Thanks June! Oh and lots of sticky preggers

 

[starryjune]

Staying positive this month - the lead-up felt different. Like, I "felt" fertile and ready to be pregnant for the first time... BD was amazing (like, multiple, easy Os) and lots of EWCM. Now my temps are looking decent, too. Hoping FF confirms O tomorrow.

 

[WunnaBubba2]

I hope FF confirms it for you too!!

This cycle I got my 1st positive opk the morning of cd 15 and we bd the afternoon. I normally leak so I rolled over onto my tummy to try and see if that would help and it did. Then I had this strange tingly feeling in my abdomen, like I cannot describe it (and no it wasn't orgasm tingles )
So all of that felt different for me than any other cycle and I'm believing that that was the spermies that made it to o on cd 16.

FX that all your positive and good different vibes mean you'll see your BFP in a week or so!!!!!

I can't even describe why I feel more "ripe" this month, I just do - little things, like the sudden EWFM, the timing I think being perfect and well covered, the enjoyment of trying, my senses were super heightened... FX.
