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

[aidensmommy1]

I tested. It's bfn definitely.

darn it! Well if its still up tomorrow, id test again. U could be somewhere where it takes 2 days after the dip to see a bfp...FX FX FX!

 

[aidensmommy1]

Ok now I'm suddenly spotting brown! I was noticing stronger cramping today too, as well as a slight return of the nausea that I really thought was going away. I wish I could get my period so that I can start from the beginning. Turtle thinks I'm 1dpo and that my baseline temp will be 97.2 whereas I thought it was 96.9 based on how often I get that and how rarely I dip below it. Miss406 says I need a thermometer that measures hundredth of degrees bc tenth of degrees isn't accurate enough. The worst part of this time around is simply not knowing where the heck I am in my cycle! I thought I would be 12dpo today, but apparently I'm not, so I just gotta wait it out I guess...

yea, u def need the new thermometer! That'll help, alot! After I see todays temp (wed) then ill be able to tell a lil better if yest was 1dpo. Ull know when ur 3dpo cuz FF will give u ch's. If you temp goes up again, I too think u may have been 1dpo yest BUT that all depends on ur temp. Although the thermometer makes a difference, u should still see at least a small shift when its O time with the thermometer ur using . BBT thermometer in the baby making section at the store is def the way to go! Good luck!

Alright ladies, obviously my appointment was hours ago and I'm just getting to updating most of you..... I was having extreme cramping so they told me to come in. The doctor was able to find a gestational sac (just one) immediately and it is measuring exactly 5 weeks. He could not see a fetal pole yet but that's ok. He did say that I implanted exactly in the middle of my uterus so my theory kind of went out the window. I asked about the chance of multiples and he said that we only see 1 sac but that their May be 2 babies in the sac or a second sac could be hidden.

Here is may little baby

aww jess! I knew they'd be able to see SOMETHING! I'm so excited for you!! I'm happy you got some reassurance as well!

 

[aidensmommy1]

Querida, no O yet hun :-\. Stupid limbo sucks! I think ull either get AF soon or ur body Will surprise us and O very late! At this point I hope either or comes for you JUST so you aren't wondering when ull O or if AF will show. Its not fair not knowing what's going on.
So I guess the 1dpo theory for yesterday is now out because your temp dropped right back down today. After Three high temps is when u can really guess if uve o'ed or not when its ur first cycle charting.
Also, just wanted u to know, ur coverline usually goes right above your Highest out of the temps you had BEFORE ovulation, does that make sense?
If u look at my chart, today I'm 2dpo (yest and todays temp are higher than the rest) so tomorrow when I put in my temp, as long as its still up, ill get my crosshairs. I figured id use myself as an example lol. I have a "slow rise" chart most cycles so i dont have that beautiful shift that ull see ladies get but its 100%normal. Lots of hugs ur way!

I stopped the progesterone to let AF come. 12DPO is really late for implantation and in all 3 of my past CP's, I at least had a faint of some kind by 13DPO. my temps did this exact same thing last month so I'm 99% sure I'm out. I've already written this month off and I'm ready for AF to get here so I can move on. FX for both of us!!

 

[cutieq]

Decided to go with the progesterone one more day. If the docs and internet say 14DPO, I shall oblige. Praying tomorrow's temp or test gives me a friggin answer.

 

[aidensmommy1]

So I guess I'm having another wacky cycle. If I'm 2dpo today, then I'm getting positive opks after O again BUT I think I may just be oing the day of my "rise", so I believe O is today rather than 2 days ago. I do see many women Oing the day of their rise in IUI cycles and such I'm Not positive of course but I'm having O pains, my cm is now EW again and the opks positive. I had to adjust my temp yest (only from 97.48 to 97.53 because I woke 40 mins early but maybe my temp would have really been @ 97.48 even tho it was a little time difference...very possible. I'm going to fix my chart and put an open circle there and just make a note of it. Now I remember why I dont adjust temps! Lol. And my nips are sore of course and that's always a definite indicator of O for me. I thought it was odd that I didn't have tender nips. So I'm not in the TWW, I dont think, so dh and I will BD tonight and hopefully I either O today or tomorrow for thanksgiving. Idk I may be 1dpo since I did get a pos opk yest as well but we'll see with my LP. Lets just hope dh and I can BD since he has to work tonight in our big snow storm. I'm sure there's still some swimmers from the night before last any how if O hasn't occurred. FX! Ill have to go for my 7dpo bloods on what FF will probably say is 8dpo JUST incase. I'm hoping since my cm is creamy today too that I just have left over EWCM still and that O was yest. That'd be great timing . FX!

Good luck Dani!

 

[aidensmommy1]

Yay, we were able to BD today! i am thinking yest prob was O and today was just left over LH in my urine but who knows! I'm not going to stress about it now that I know we're covered regardless.
Everyone was gone so we took advantage JUST in time and then BOOM the power went out and aidens movie was disturbed and as u can imagine, he freaked in the dark lol so thankfully we had PERFECT timing when it came to aiden and the storm knocking out our power! Idk what we would have done if we were in the "act" when this happened lol
I told aiden this power loss is a way to remind us of how thankful we should be for having electricity in our every day life so he's ok with no power now lol We have such a crazy storm here in NH today. So far we've probably gotten about 3 feet of snow and its still going strong! Dh is going to be freezing and sore in the a.m but he loves this extra work in the winter.

I'm excited to see if my temp goes up again tomorrow or if it dips again for delayed O. We shall see soon!

I hope everyone's having a great day/night and tons and tons of baby dust to everyone!!

And Happy Turkey day in advance incase I dont get on here in the a.m! I for one am very excited to stuff my face with turkey and all the yummy thanksgiving sides and desserts! Yummy!

Throwing out a quick HAPPY THANKSGIVING!! JIC

AM thanks for your input, I didn't get a chance to get on earlier and will not likely be on tomorrow, but I will update my chart. I really thought I would be seeing AF today with the temp dip, esp. after yest spotting, but nothing.. I'm so tired lately that I can't get worked up about anything, even as frustrated as I feel, it's kinda all blah and ugh, you know? My nausea has changed again. I now feel it after eating and whenever I think about eating most candy and junk food. I can do hot chocolate and candy canes, but that's about it. I wanna go to bed already.. But I gotta finish the kitchen bc We're having company tomorrow.. Ugh. [YAWN] Zzzzz

Mary, you could have O'ed on CD14. Based on what i read, a rise of at least .1 F or .2 C HIGHER than the last 6 temps, is what considered to be a temp shift. Your temp rise on CD14 didn't exceed the last 6 temps so this could have been your O day. And today you could only be 2 dpo. FX you caught that egg...


Edit: I just saw your chart, no CH.... So, maybe you are really 2 dpo...

yeah, I believe it was CD15 which is perfect to me! I def feel good bding wise!
At first I was thinking maybe day 13 ONLY because I adjusted my temp and it WAS higher than the rest, just barely, but I think the non-adjusted temp seems more accurate.
So, I guess I really do know my body better than I thought. I should probably listen to it more lol. I had bad O pains on that day. Its hard to tell with my charts because although the normal standards of a temp rise is suppose to be higher than the previous 6 temps, as u can see in past charts, my temp doesn't always rise higher than the rest 1dpo but thankfully this month my body had good signs for me and I knew I just had to still be fertile! I dont really care about BDing ON O day itself, I just like to make sure we bd the two days leading up since those days give the best odds. If I were to remove my + opks, FF gives me ch's so I am happy I got more OPKs now or I would have gone for my 7dpo test early and I want as accurate results as possible!
I took my temp an hr and a half early today cuz dh had to wake up early for work but I just kept my temp 100% the same. I guess we'll never know if it would have been higher..lol.
Anyway, I'm happy to be in the TWW and know that we did everything we could for this cycle so now we just wait...again..lol. Hopefully O time being right around thanksgiving will bless us this year FX!

 

[aidensmommy1]

Querida, hormones are so mean aren't they?! I swear I feel sick more than half of the month since TTC. I think its because I think about it too much, u know? Its hard not to think about it when thats all u want and ur doing everything you can. And esp in ur case right now, its sooo hard when ur waiting on O and trying to guess if or when it'll come :-\. I really hope u either O or get AF asap! I bet after u get AF, ur hormones will start to straighten out more. Even as we're speaking, I bet that's what's going on with ur body. Although the mirena may not have stopped u from oing, it still changes ur hormones (which causes the thick, hostile cm to prevent pregnancy) so you body just needs a little time to adjust. Just remember, no matter what the b/c is, its very normal for it to take at least a cycle or two to get your body on track. Sometimes it can take longer, and in lucky cases, some women get a bfp right away. It differs so much depending on the person, u know? But I hope u have a fantastic thanksgiving and ill still be stalking!

 

[mdscpa]

FX mary and lots and lots of BABY your way...... Praying for an early priceless Christmas present,

 

[aidensmommy1]

Thanks Daphne! And yes, that present would definitely be priceless, for sure! I am so excited for the day I can announce my pregnancy to u ladies and I cant wait even more for the day dh and I are holding our forever baby, with its big brother Aiden by our sides of course . Aiden STILL asks for a sibling daily. He has learned how to pray through it all though. Now he prays every night for a baby and to bless us all lol. He's too cute.

 

[SarahLou372]

Tested again today ladies and what do you know the usual

Im going to the hospital today to get checked over because of the headaches, cramps im having and that strange spotting I have one nipple that is so sensitive at the moment the other isn't though..

 

[WunnaBubba2]

I'm sorry about that BFN Sarah!
I'm the eternal optimist thinking that you are never out until AF has really come, so I'm going to hope that you are one of the ladies who test negative on HPT but positive when you get to the Dr.

I hope you are okay and let us know what the Dr says

 

[WunnaBubba2]

FX for you Mary! Here is to wishing you a Merry Christmas with a BFP under the tree

Cheryl how are you getting along on your way to o?

Sorry if I've forgotten anyone...

 

[cutieq]

FX Mary!!! Hoping a holiday BFP is in your future!

Sorry for the BFN Sarah. I hate being in limbo. I hope you get great news at the doctor!

BFN for me this morning. I'm cramping and boobs are sore so I know AF is on her way and I'm excited! I'm ready for a new cycle and another chance.

 

[aidensmommy1]

Good luck Dani! I hope u either just have a shy BFP or that u get ur bfp by Christmas! I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed for u!!! We need our holiday miracles! FX!

 

[aidensmommy1]

So we have been without power now here in NH for almost 24hrs now! This is insane! It came back on for 40mins or so around 330a.m when I woke up but then it went right back off. Its def starting to get cold in the house now! Hopefully this will be fixed by tonight. I'm def never going to take electricity for granted every again! Ive never been without power for this long at once. Trees literally wont stop falling because the snow is so heavy in the trees. One fell on my brothers car and one fell in a neighbors yard and plenty more all along the rds. This storm was worse than all the storms we had put together last yr. Insane.
Thankfully we're at my sisters so we can eat and charge our phones I can't live without my phone!! Lol
I'm suppose to do black Friday shopping but dh and I decided we'll wait til 530 tomorrow morning that way I can wake at 430, only a half hr earlier than usual, so I can take my BBT... ONLY because its my ch's/confirm O day and I want to make sure I get my 7dpo tests on time lol. Otherwise I would just skip the day but you know how it can be when BBT charting...
