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

[aidensmommy1]

Hi everyone! Anyone care to comment on my last couple temps? today it stayed where it was yest after having been higher 2 days ago. But it hasn't gone down to the low baseline number so I'll take that I guess.. I didn't need any nausea meds today, but my bb's were.. interesting. The nips kept tingling and standing at attention for no apparent reason. I felt some weird twinges that seemed to be around the top of my uterus or maybe just above it?? I had a good day with the family and am interested in hearing temp interpretations.

I'm sorry but I still don't think O has occurred but ur temps are pretty steady so thats a good sign that O will come for you. I'm keeping my fingers squeezed nice and tight! Ill keep an eye on it for u everyday I do think it may be delayed ovulation or as Daphne said, annovulatory. I'm hoping O will come for you this cycle through! FX! Good luck! Lots of !!

Saw a drop in temp Mary.. FX it's O time..... Hope you'll be able to cover tonight and the next day's BD marathon....

O should be today just as I thought and hoped! Now lets just hope there's a rise tomorrow! If not, every other day will still have us covered so I'm not too worried about it. Hopefully my next set of bloods will be in 7 days and I pray the numbers all look great!

Im going a little crazy these last few days, dh told me that he wants to take this month off. Two cycles in a row before this past cycle, I was under the impression that we were on a ttc break. I didnt opk. Dh says because I still was trying to guess when I ovulated that we didn't take a break. It really drives me crazy not to opk because I like knowing when to expect af. I know that after all dh has been through on our ttc journey that if he needs a break he should get one. We don't keep anything from each other, so opking behind his back would not be something I could do. I guess I can TRY to relax while the vitex is building up, and after this cycle will be my 3rd cycle on the vitex. Uhhh!

Oh Froggy I know how you feel. This cycle I got my BFP was the one where dh wanted to take a break. I could not switch off so I was hiding opk strips in a secret handbag compartment and temping in secret as well. I just could not let go and looking back my gut was right to push me.

Now I'm not saying you should do the same, just see what does your instinct tell you and try to follow.

FX for you

Thanks wunna, I guess it's just getting to me a little more because feb will be five years since we started ttc. It really sucks. He has been talking a lot more about adoption, so im getting the feeling that he is just ready to stop. I am too sometimes, but then I still get these feelings of hope like we should still try. We have talked about ivf and embryo adoption, but both of us are super scared that its not 100%. So as of late I think our next move is adoption. I have done some research on it, but haven't completely pursued it because I think that I should be over ttc completely first.

froggy. As if TTC isn't complicated enough, we have to include the guys

My DH is in the know, but I absolutely don't let him know each time I test or temp. I like to know what's going on with my body and he has no say in that. However, I do try to keep him as removed from the crazy as possible.

I've been looking more and more into adoption and while for most of us TTC'ing, it's not ideal. It's a beautiful gift to both the children and the parents.

 

[froggyfrog]

Im all for adoption. I agree thats its great for everyone involved. I'm not one to think that I have to carry a child for it to be mine. I think I would feel like an adopted baby would be carried in my heart instead of my tummy! The problem is that when I do test dh asks me what the test said. And he has done so much to increase our chances during our journey. He had a varocel repair where they went in through he neck in his aorta, he has taken prescriptions as well as supplements, and gone in for repeated SAs. So I absolutely have to respect his wishes, just don't like it at the moment!lol

 

[WunnaBubba2]

Ah hun, I hope you guys get to where you both want to be soon. Maybe you'll be one of those many couples who fall pregnant just after adoption

 

[Querida87]

Froggy - I'm sending you a bazillion hun! I get how hard that must be. I do have a question. Are you looking at adopting from a pregnant woman who doesn't want her baby or a baby in a children's home or finding a surrogate. I would recommend a surrogate. A pregnant woman can change her mind and keep her baby and the adoption process through an agency can be complicated and stressful. I really hope you get pregnant soon though. That would be ideal for the both of you. FX

 

[cutieq]

I think it's great that your DH is so involved. We all need a break from time to time. Fx for you and keep us posted!

 

[froggyfrog]

I think either an agency or through cps. Surrogate freaks me out a bit. Not sure why. Not that there is anything wrong with it, I just don't think thats for us. And I would also be afraid of a pregnant woman changing her mind. Through an agency could be difficult, but at least I know that im guaranteed a kid. And I would go through CPS (child protective services) as long as parental rights have already been terminated. It actually can be next to free to adopt From CPS. Dh and I talked about age and I think 3 would be the oldest we would go. We don't care at all about race.

This is very touching! I love how you worded adoption. Its worded so perfectly! Its great you guys are all for adoption! DH and I are too but are going to try at least 4 yrs first, unless an amazing opportunity happens to cross our path of course! You truly have a wonderful heart hun and I hope you get a bfp ASAP! remember, its our cycle!! All of our babies are going to get SOOO much love and not a moment will be left un-cherished, esp after the long wait many of us have had already! Good luck sweets and lots of dust your way!!!

Adoption can be very scary...i watch ALOT of lifetime! Lol. For me, a surrogate would be the same for IVF so I would just do my own IVF of course BUT if for some reason I couldn't conceive, id personally go with a pregnant woman or preferably an agency who can search for a beautiful baby for us. Id def use a good agency, as itd make me personally feel a little better, u know? And as froggy said, id want a baby through CPS with parental rights already being terminated. I'm of course praying we conceive on our own anyhow because we already have Aiden, whom dh is adopting some day soon, as he's not the biological father, so its not like we don't have any children but as froggy said, I could love another child as my own, even if I dont experience the pregnancy. . I of course hope I'm blessed enough to experience the pregnancy part the second time around. I'm pretty certain Ill be able to get the funds for IVF together no later than next summer, or maybe even mini IVF in Mar/April for a third the price, as long as my hormones are still looking good that is! FX! Sry, I ramble on alot lol.

 

[aidensmommy1]

Froggy, I also hope you feel better. I know how much TTC can get to you and your dh both . Things will look up. I feel there's a reason ur still here today and I pray you get answers (a bfp ASAP!). 5 years is a long time. Heck, 18 cycles seems like forever to me, your very strong & I know you can stay strong! I hope your dh feels better as well. Ugh. TTC sucks! I can't wait until we have our forever babies and get to the enjoyable part of TTC as soon as possible! Then all this hard work will feel SO worth it!

 

[froggyfrog]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I know that in the end we will end up with the baby that is meant to be ours, no matter how it happens! God blesses us every day, so I know that he will bless us with our deepest desire!
