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

[aidensmommy1]

Your temps are very stable which can sometimes be a good sign but we dont know ur "norm" so we dont know if stable is ur usual BUT I would like to think its a good sign for you fx!

I'd like to think that is your ID! Great news for you...that would be amazing right before IVF!! Fx!

I wish I had my temp from just waking up right now. I woke up at 6 am it was 98.31 then fell back asleep for 4 hrs and now its 98.86! But I'm so glad I woke up on time today because otherwise I would be thinking that today's my temp spike and I would be freaking out lol

lol, omg I know, when I wake any more then 1hr later, my temp spike is outrageous! Those times, I DO adjust it only by half of what the adjuster says tho. I'm happy u woke up on time today too or I'D be freaking out about "your giant temp spike" . I'm going to test tomorrow. Was going to today, maybe still will today if I have a good hold but we shall see. Ive been getting better with testing. For the first 15 cycles or so, I tested starting as early as 5dpo some months! Lol. I couldn't help it and still cant help it at times! lol, you know how that feels tho!

Hey ladies! Since I haven't been on in several days, there were SO many pages of reading to catch up on!!! Sounds like there are some pretty exciting things going on around here though, and that's fantastic =D

Just wanted to give a quick update on myself: I know I had said I was planning to temp and use OPK's this cycle, but after my appointment on Monday, I've decided against temping this cycle... She told me my body was stressing out a LOT over this whole "trying to get pregnant" thing, and that I needed to just relax and let it happen (Um, yeah. That's pretty much impossible!). *sigh* So I'm attempting to put it out of my mind as much as I can. I've started using OPK's daily though, just to get an idea of when I O (supposed to be Saturday). I'll also be starting a progesterone cream on Saturday through my TWW. I don't really have much for CM right now, which is really odd for me. Hubby and I have been BDing every other day (sometimes daily), which is pretty normal for us So yeah, we'll see what happens. It's just been s.o. hard to relax after the miscarriage... I feel like I won't stop stressing until I'm pregnant, and 12 weeks at that lol.

Anyway, thanks for listening to my rant - You all have been more than amazing while I struggle through this =)

That's what I tried to do....relax, well I couldn't lol I started temping right after hubby told me it will happens when you're not expecting. Well as long as y'all are BDing that often you really don't have any issues where its mandatory to temp so that's good

Easier said than done but try not to worry too much about your cm. In my bfp cycle I never got your typical ewcm and I even took vit c and EPO tablets to help with it.

So just because it doesn't look like what you google as examples it might still be okay for you

The stress will be there regardless of how far along you are. Im 17 weeks and still worried constantly about something going wrong.

Good news mary!! I can't imagine the stress of combining families!! Fx for your dhs sa today!

Yesterday I started thinking and realized that I had one more refill of ovulation meds. So I called walgreens and they confirmed that its still there. So when we do start trying im going to do my meds one month and that month we are going to use the stork! Im pretty excited about it. Then I started thinking about our iuis, and was wondering if its possible to collect multiple sperm samples over a few weeks and then combine them all together for an iui, turns out it exists!! So maybe thats a possibility for us in the future!

The stork is an awesome idea! I actually referred that to Laura about a month or so ago. And it'll be combined with the med...ooo I'm excited for that cycle for you! I hope u get ur BFP by April with me!!

That would be awesome to be bump buddies! im not one of the original originals from this thread like you are, but have been here for quite a while, so it would be awesome for us to share our pregnancy together

I flipped on my OB when she told me to not stress, lol. Its impossible not to. My OB too told me to stay away from charting my temps "because it would add stress and isn't necessary"....well I decided not to listen and I am extremely glad about that. My new IVF doc also said it's always a good idea to chart TTC not only for your O day but that way you KNOW when you O and when AF should be do so you dont go nuts in the mean time. I found before charting my temps that MOST of my stress was coming because I was wondering "why is AF late?", when really It wasn't late, I just oed late. Or I'd wonder "Did I actually O the first time my OPK caught the surge or am I missing my fertile window?"..and I now know I ovulate every cycle (so far anyway) so I dont stress about those two things anymore and thats been a giant stress reducer. Just throwing that out there incase "late AF" or O are anything you sometimes feel stressed about so that you know temping could actually help u relax in many ways.

But anyhow, I definitely dont believe the whole "relax" approach of TTC works on its own so just because your OB advised against temping, I wouldn't take it to heart or think you have to listen to her. Many OBs aren't too great at the actual TTC part of fertility. Thats where the specialists come in. So if it is something you want to do, definitely do so! BUT there's no NEED to if your BDing every day, every other day but I mean if u wanted to know when AF is due and when you O the dot, u still can. Doctors are certainly not always right! (I've learned that personally too many times.)

As for your CM, your probably just not quite ready to O yet. IF you notice your getting positive opks and no fertile cm, you can try "pre-seed" which is a sperm friendly lubricant and actually acts as EWCM to transfer sperm safely.

And again, I'm so sorry for your loss

I still consider you as one of the originals . You've been here with us for a year or so and I would LOVE to be bump buddies! I am praying that you and I both are blessed enough to move over to the pregnancy thread and start the fun part of our journey...We are both well over due for those BFPS!! FX sooo tight!!

RE said my uterus looks very health, and I have 8 follicles in my ovaries ready to go. So, he's giving me clomid this cycle to increase the odds of a good egg being released for fertilization.

 

[Megs555]

Hahaa agreed! I am def into the ttc madness! It's so fun and exciting with so much to learn! And when I finally get pregnant it'll be even better!!! ☺️☺️

wooohooo! I'm very happy for you! I can't wait to see how this cycle goes!!!!

 

[Megs555]

I stopped bc in October and my next period came in 32 days (on the pill I had a cycle of 28 days, before I was on the pill it was approx 32 days). As soon as I stopped the pill I started getting my period every month 32 day cycle for 2 months and the. Jan skipped a period and now it's feb with no period. Although I have been having A lot of sex so maybe I'm preggers lol! Or I just ovulated this month and will hopefully become preggers! I'm on day 59 of this cycle so far!

 

[melewen]

I had to chime in because of the "just relax" business! Too funny. I remember reading some comebacks in the Impatient Woman's Guide to Getting Pregnant but cant find them now. Like.. if I just relaxed, it would take years for us to get pregnant! DH just doesn't have a strong sex drive and if I'm RELAXED.. I'm wine tasting. On the couch. In yoga pants. It's not BD'ing every other day.. good lord, that's not relaxing.

I agree with Mary, charting helped me to relax a TON. The first month I thought AF was late but I was getting bfn after bfn. If I knew my cycle well I'd have known that I just O'd late and AF wasn't actually late. That's what I suspect at least. And once I definitely O, I am like PHEW! And actually totally relax, instead of like omg what if I didn't, I just had some weird EWCM, wtf, did I not O yet, we should DTD again..

It's all dumb. Though we WERE on vacation when I got preggers, still. We were on vacation another time and I didn't see any BFP then! But that was because I wasn't charting yet and had no idea when I O'd... so there people!

[Joyful4Jesus]

It's so awesome having people who actually understand how stressful this process is!! SO... Quick question: I am on CD 13, waiting to O. Basically no CM right now, but when I just wiped I found a small amount of light pink/ cream CM. Has anyone ever had this before O?! I never, and I mean, NEVER spot! What could this be?!

 

[froggyfrog]

I have had ovulation spotting one time. It was not creamy cm though, it was mixed with ewcm. Maybe thats whats going on?

 

[Megs555]

Has anyone ordered online pregnancy and ovulation sticks? And what did the packaging say on the outside? Was it confidential, or did it say what was inside? Also how accurate are they?

I sometimes spot like that during O. Do you use opks? If not I'd at least take your temp for the next couple mornings to see if you are Oing!

Yup I buy mine from amazon so it comes in an amazon box and that's all it says on the outside of the box.

My opk sticks are Wondos and they work for me! Cheap too.. 50 for $20. I haven't used the pregnancy tests yet so can't comment on those yet
