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

[MolGold]

Aw, Jrepp and Megan hope you guys feel better soon. Megan, I hope this is your month..! and SO sorry about your BFN Chelsea... I know how frustrating that is.

I broke my BBt again! I haven't been able to temp today and its possible O day !! I am tired of OPKing and I might just quit temping for a month or two - I am getting impatient..

Bought the opk yesterday and it showed positive right away. We dtd three days in a row, twice on friday once on saturday and twice yesterday. My ovu calendar says i ovulate today idk so confused. I will take the opk again today i think

You may be Oing today or u oed yest. I usually get my positive opk the same day as O but everyone is diff n alot get a positive the day before O. Are u temping or is it just a calendar to help u estimate O day? If its just a calendar, id def trust ur opk and other sign over that. I used one of those for about 5 months of ttc and I was bding 2-5 days off from when I really O'ed thinking the calendar is right but I was soo wrong. It sounds like u covered it bding wise so i think ur good either way!

Yesterday was positive as well which is why I was confused it being so dark and positive today. Not charting or temping as that stuff stresses me out haha. Just did the opk because a friend said to try it. Baby danced four days straight and if his star player didn't make a touchdown than idk lol...

Good morning everyone. Well I woke up at 2:30 here in AZ which is 5:30 to my body... had some absolutely horrible diarrhea which I think helped relieve some of my nausea finally... took my last Wondfo (aaah! last one) and it was a BFN (attached photo is about 20 min into the drying stage)... but I have no sign of AF and my temp is still high... I was going to ask you girls, do you think I should temp at 3 am here in AZ or 6 am like I usually do in NY? With the 3 hour time difference and staying here for 6 days I am not sure what to do. I guess I could always do both and see how similar they are. The only reason I still want to temp is because they say 18 high temps after ovulation means pregnancy, and I'm on day 16 already... unless I see a BFP, temping is my only way to clue me in to what might be going on. Even 18 days of high temps won't totally convince me but it will make it that much more likely. Please keep me in your prayers if you pray... I am out of HPT's besides the digi's, and knowing myself I will probably just get more at the store some time today, but all I want is a clear answer!!

FX Megan! It may just be those stupid wondfos not wanting to give an answer at this point. Fx a frer works now ill be praying!

 

[Megamegan]

Thanks... not going to take a FRER... I feel some slight lower belly cramps so maybe AF is coming today... I will wait and if nothing by tomorrow, with a high temp still, I guess I will go buy more tests. I'm just starting to feel kinda discouraged because this is so unusual. If AF shows, I don't have an explanation for it being late. And then next cycle will be even more uncertain because I won't know how long to expect my LP to be! Well I'm going to try to rest a little more. Today is our first performance and I want to be able to play. Right now I haven't eaten more than half a bagel in 2 days so playing my flute sounds like an impossible feat. Lol.

 

[aidensmommy1]

I figured u wouldn't be using a frer today. If u were home id expect u to lol but I figured ud wait until at least tonight before breaking and buying any. I hope AF stays away! My tummy always bubbles before and once I get that feeling like I might end up having diarrhea, I know AF has to be coming. At least I have one for sure warning sign (that I wish wouldn't happen for 9 months!!) lol. That's ALL I used to have for AF cramps actually but now my cramps are AWFUL! Only for the past 2-3 cycles. Its weird. Anyways, I'm getting off track. FX ur someone who feels "AF" coming and then get ur bfp after . Some women swear AF is going to start the day or two before they get their BFP. FX!

I am still bleeding red! It slowed yesterday and now it's back to being a heavier flow on cd7 stupid clomid

did u physically feel like u O'ed 2 days ago or so? It kinda looks like you may have oed CD20 and if u had one more higher temp today, it prob would have given u crosshairs and it.cpuld just be a slow rise to start out with...? Dont quote me on that tho so bd how u already would plan..i dont want to mess it up! Lol. Are u getting a new thermometer today? My temp went wayyy up but it can be wacky during AF but I also think it may be time for a new thermometer. I think I wore out both of them the past cycle. I kept triple checking my temp because I was shocked with how little of a rise I had lol. Good luck!

 

[Wishing1010]

Oh and my cramping came back just like I'm cd1 again. Miserable!!!

awe I'm sorry :-\. I'm like the opposite this cycle. I feel like I need to bleed more!! Its like u got it for both of us! ive had nothing more than a light flow but if you could feel these cramps, ud think I was having the heaviest flow of my life. Ugh! I hope AF is gone by today for you. I know ur waiting to bd so come on AF, lets get a move on! Is it common for clomid to cause a heavier/longer period?

 

[Wishing1010]

I have no clue, but I regret taking it more and more everyday. I've def been looking forward to BD, it's such a stress reliever and now I'm stressing bc I can't! I cried when I saw the flow picked back up.

 

[aidensmommy1]

ugh! I literally feel u on this one! After ttc and dh seeing everything I go thru every month, he's like "women get the s**t end of things, huh?" lol I think he finally realized this after he saw me go through all the pain during the HSG lol. Its true though. Just AF alone, even without ttc is more then most men could handle but I guess that's why god gave us women the monthly "gifts" instead lol.
I hope ur cramps go away soon too, right along with AF! You've had enough!

have u researched at all about if AF will pick back up if u stop taking it? Cuz you normally would have started to take it within the last few days right? Maybe its because your body was expecting it again...? Idk. I know that stuff used to happen to me when I'd stop my BCP's and both pills do stuff to/with ur hormones so maybe it can be the same..? I have no clue, just throwing some ideas out that u could ask ur doc about for if u use the clomid again in the future. And yes bding is def a great stress reliever and I'm looking forward to it as well! I didn't bd for I think like 4-5 days before AF, maybe more so its going to be like a full 10 days lol

 

[Wishing1010]

I hope the witch disappears soon for both of us!!!! I'm going to have to take care of DH tonight, I feel bad that's it's been so long. We usually pick up bd again around cd 5!

I will do some research and see what I can find I know most women have the worst first month on clomid, then the following months are better.

I hope the witch dies!!!

 

[Megamegan]

Well here we go again. Some bright red blood started, it's still light but given the cramps and diarrhea I think it's safe to say today will be CD1. I suppose my temp might still be so high because of dehydration from being sick. I will try to hydrate today and maybe tomorrow it will go down again. I just hope I feel all the way better soon so I can enjoy the rest of my trip. I have a sore throat and general crappy fever feeling today but the nausea is pretty much gone, and I'm about to go get some hotel continental breakfast- yay!

I'm really not completely upset right now but I am confused, and wondering if a stomach bug can delay AF. It is weird that no one else around me got sick or was sick, it's just like I randomly caught it somewhere and it was just bad timing. Any ideas? Can illness delay your period?

Megan - Last month I was three days late. About a week before AF was due I got a head/chest cold and had a bladder infection along with kidney stones. I had to take pain medication and antibiotics. My clinic said it shouldn't affect AF but I'm 100% certain it did. I only have a 14 day LP (always have with every fertility medication I've tried), so I don't think it was a lengthening LP at all at least for me. Maybe our bodies were too caught up with fighting the infections that it caused AF to be off?

Regardless, I hope you start feeling better soon!

 

[Megamegan]

Jenna, thank you! I guess next cycle will tell me whether or not my LP is lengthened, but I have a feeling it will just go back to 13 days. They say your LP is not supposed to change, but your O date can (unless you're trying something new like meds or just getting off BC).

Anyway, happy to say that I'll be giving it a rest this next cycle. I'm out of Wondfo tests and not buying any more. Just going to NTNP for a month, get away from it all, and come back fresh in May. I love you all and thank you for your support day in and day out. This is a great group.

 

[Wishing1010]

I'm really sorry Megan!!!! I'm seriously boycotting wondfo's! I hope you do take some time to enjoy yourself

 

[aidensmommy1]

I'm sorry Megan . At least u got an answer I guess...just wish it was a different one. I have a good feeling for all of u ladies for the spring/summer months.
As for your LP Megan, id just note the fact that you could have a 15 day LP (getting AF on 16dpo) but u can also have a 14 day LP. This cycle you'll know better which one is more regular for you. The docs usually look at 3 months worth of charts to try and analyze things and FF does the same when estimating your LP. It can differ by 1-2 days but for the most part will be the same. So yea basically next cycle just expect AF after a 15 day LP (unless ur bfp comes of course!) but AF may show after 14 days and that'll still be normal for u too . I wish you the absolute vest of luck for this cycle! Im curious to see if dh and I still bd alot during my fertile time without planning it or using opks. Well I do have 5 opks left over that ill prob just use up. Ive had a really weird light AF but it had ALOT of blackish blood clots (sry tmi) and I'm secretly hoping its blockage from my tube coming out with AF lol Im a wishful thinker But either way my enzymes will be here in 1-2 days, maybe even today so I'm super excited to see how that goes. Ill probably be fully back in the ttc game in about 3 months. Ill prob try pretty harr for one month before I even go for my second hsg. I can't even describe how much less stress I'm feeling not obsessing over getting pregnant this month. Its only easy for me to just let it go right now because I know it's not physically possible YET for me. Before I knew for sure about my tube, I wasn't even able to imagine NOT trying. Idk I cant explain it and once again in rambling lol. But I hope cycle #8 is ur lucky cycle and i hope my tube at least is a tad bit healed by the end of the month lol. I don't expect it to work extremely fast or even on its own without an hsg to push it through for that matter but i did read this stuff works fast for tissue anywhere in the body so hopefully it'll at least reduce it a tiny bit or keep it from getting worse anyways. FX everything goes great for all of us! We all certainly deserve it!

this is a very good idea to not get any more wondfos! I'm going to call and complain a few times. We all should lol. Maybe then they'll manufacture them better. Idk. And I think NTNP would be good for u as well..like I said in the last post, I feel alot less stress already. I will never ever give up trying completely but its just nice to have a little break (I didn't see this post until after my other long post before this btw). Who knows, ur NTNP cycle may be ur lucky cycle. Cycle #8 for aleas, she did the NTNP thing and it worked for her. It was probably a coincidence but I'm sure her not stressing over ttc helped some too...u know? And are u going to still b temping? I am cuz I don't wana lose track while on break but I was going to suggest that u should for one more cycle because I know u had mentioned bringing ur charts to the docs with u and they like to see 3 recorded cycles...it was u who said u are going soon and wanted to bring ur charts for them to look at, correct? We've all had too many doc visits so its hard to keep up sometimes.
