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

[Wishing1010]

Exactly, if you miss this one cycle, you will still at least have some answers! FX FX!!!

 

[mdscpa]

And at least one complete chart to compare on the next cycle..... So we will just try to relax this cycle but of course after SA its time for us to do the dance, lol. Who knows, we might conceive when not trying...

FX and everyone

Sorry your temp is low again Kenna. Did you say your longest cycle was 36 days? So AF better be coming soon so you can start on a new cycle!

Mdscpa good luck... hopefully you can accomplish SA and BD as well

AFM: Sorry if you read my journal too, it's easier just to say the same thing: My temp was still high this morning. Three possibilities- I used the heated blanket last night, so it could have stayed high (I even temped a couple hrs after turning it off and it was still high so the adjusted temp actually stayed the same) or my LP actually might be extended- last cycle it was 15 days but I assumed it was because I was sick and it would go back to 13 days- or, I could have O’d one day later… since I didn’t take pre-O temps it’s hard to be totally sure. I definitely have a headache, and I’ve kinda had this headache for atleast 2 days now. Usually I get a headache before AF. This feels like a stress headache and since my back has also been hurting, I figured it was stress-induced (3 gigs this weekend, a lot of pressure) and I’ve been having to take Ibuprofen just to be able to focus and play my flute. Lately, my period has had a habit of showing up towards the end of the day on CD14.

The only unusual thing about this cycle: I had brown flowing spotting yesterday which eased up by the end of the day but was still there, and then this morning I still have brown flowing spotting. I usually only get one spot of brown CM (not flowing) the morning of the day before AF. Nothing else. This is more like a super light AF but brown. It honestly does sound a lot like what other people describe as IB. But I do NOT want to get my hopes up in the least. I don’t expect anything other than AF to come by either the end of the day today or tomorrow. Then, if nothing, I’m sure I’ll take a dollar tree test.

Just checking in ladies!

Wishing, have you researched clomid at all? Can it cause an anovulatory cycle after taking it? I wish AF would just start for you so you could move on.

My update is that our first ultrasound is this Friday on the 23rd. There's a possibility there are fraternal twins so I guess we'll see. Do you ladies mind if I post one of our baby announcement photos? I just don't want to make someone look at it, if they don't want to see things like that right now.

Good luck to everyone - BFP's are popping up everywhere it seems, so hopefully 2014 is a lucky year for all of us!

Megan, longest was 45 days after my laparoscopy. After that, I think 42 days. I guess it's also possible that my several days of spotting could have been a weird AF due to being off the clomid. I guess only time will tell!

OMG, sounds so promising Megan!!!! Omg can't wait for you to test!!! FX FX FX FX FX!!!!!!!!!!

Jennuuh, I would love to see those!!!!!!!! So happy for you, congrats!!!

 

[Megamegan]

Hi Jenna!! I'm so happy for you and hope you have a great first ultrasound! Personally, I don't mind seeing announcement photos from you ladies because I know how long you've waited for this, but if you're ever worried about that, you can do a "Spoiler"... if you didn't know how already, you just do this: enter [ spoiler ] before the text or photo, and at the end, write [/ spoiler ] but both times without the spaces. Then you can click on the preview to see if it worked. I'm not totally sure if it would work for an attachment, but it would work if you posted a link to the picture. Hope that helps (Sorry if you already knew how, maybe it will help someone else if so )

 

[Megamegan]

Kenna- do you really think it sounds promising? Ugh I just hate getting my hopes up!! Every cycle, the day AF is due is the day I start to think "maybe..." because she always seems to show at a different time or even late, but at least within only a few days I should have my answer. But in the words of Veruca Salt, "I want it NOW!"

I def think it sounds promising! I'm so giddy for you right now I want the answer too lol

 

[Jennuuh]

Thank you for that tip Megan! I didn't know how to do a spoiler so hopefully it lets me insert photos in it! I know sometimes announcement photos stress others out that are TTC and I don't want to be a cause of that. I'm just really excited! And I agree with Kenna (sorry that I never remember to call you by your name Kenna!), the brown spotting and temp staying high sound like great things!! Fingers crossed!

These are the two we've been passing around. Hubby keeps joking that we're going to have to re-take our photos with two pairs of baby shoes this weekend! He's convinced on the possibility of twins.

Awe Kenna I'm sorry ur temp didn't go back up..hmm..ur chart confuses the heck out of me. I really cant wait to see how the vitex works cuz its ALL natural and it can actually help.ur body even after u stop taking it (after getting regulated of course). Ugh, ur temps make me mad! Maybe ull have a two day LP dip...? Who knows! My fingers are always crossed for u!!!

Megan, I can't wait until u test! I just recently started getting a spotting type of flow the day before AF comes OR the day AF is about to show. This last cycle I was more back to normal but the two before that I had strange out of the norm spotting for me. I can't stand how much our bodies can mess with us!! I hope its IB for u! I really really do. Ill be stalking! And also, its def possible u oed a day later. Originally I remember asking u if u thought there was a chance that u oed a day later because at that time u had another higher temp in ur pre O temps that matched up with ur "1dpo" temp so that could have been right? Idk if u remember me asking u that about 2wks ago lol. But like u said, its kinda hard to tell with not temping the full cycle. I cant wait until u test! Even a dollar test would come up positive right now so I'm very excited!!


AFM, we put in our AC a few nights ago and ever since, ive had lower than normal temps. The one temp (97.61-CD3) was from us NOT running the AC that night so basically because of the climate change, my temps would be going higher but I think if I keep my AC on a comfortable temp every night, my body should get used to that. I guess this cycle will be q practice trial lol.

Megan, that just made me think of u..is it hotter or colder for u at night (meaning weather wise) the past wk or so? In NH its been MUCH hotter...i read this a.m that a change in climate can make temps higher OR even lower...it all depends on how someone's body reacts to it but usually it goes higher when its hot and colder when its cold (obv) lol..idk why I even wrote that now...u obv know how hot/cold works lol. I wish u tons and tons of luck!! I hope u get it before even needing an hsg! Ill be soo happy for u!! FX FX FX!

I just checked my thermometer again and my temp was 98.9 after being up and about. So, again, my thermometer is just fine, I'm the one that's broken! Arghhhhhh!!!!!!

Thanks, Mary!!! You feeling 100% better today?

When i had brown spotting i got temp dip so your's staying up could be a good sign.... I checked ur chart and it's possible u o'ed on CD15 since u recorded EWCM on that day after a + opk on the 13th since ovulation might occur from 12-36 hours plus 24hours after O. If u o'ed on CD15 that means ur only 12 dpo so FX u catched the egg. Can't wait to see ur test.

Hey ladies, I just wanted to say hello and sorry I over reacted that day. I think I was just super stressed out, and I hope you all accept my apology. I have been reading about you guys every day even though I haven't been posting. I felt stupid posting after the way I acted. But truth is I really felt bonded with you guys

Glad you're back..... No need to apologize, everybody gets stress out once in awhile esp. when TTC but i know this group makes our bond more stronger until we all get what we're wishing for.

Hi Chelsea!!!!!!! glad to see you posting. And def no need to apologize! How are you doing?

 

[froggyfrog]

Im doing good! Im on my third day of letrozole, going to start opking next sat it will be cd 10. Im also going to give preseed a try. Its kind of nice not going to the doctor for labs all the time. The last time I was there, I made the lab techs laugh by telling them I felt like a professional at getting my blood drawn. I think that for the next 3 cycles we will just try at home then start gearing back up for iuis

 

[Megamegan]

Hi Chelsea Don't worry, we are happy you're posting again, we missed you. No hard feelings. So you're still TTC right? At home? Where are you in your cycle (sorry if I'm missing something, don't see it in your sig)?

mdscpa- thanks for the suggestion... it is a definite possibility, but tbh I felt O pains on CD13 so I feel strongly that it was on CD13... however, it's not like I have any proof of when O actually happened, for all I know I could be someone who feels O pain a day before O. That would definitely have me confused, lol.

I caved and tested- duh, what did I expect of myself lol- BFN.

Also, Mary- Inside my house is still pretty cool, we will use AC if it's hot out, but the thing about today's temp is that I used the heated blanket overnight because it was too cold inside when I went to sleep (DH had the windows open). So that makes me think if I hadn't used it, my temp would be lower. So today's high temp doesn't mean much to me. I still think AF will be here by tonight.

Well, FX that you won't need doctor help to conceive! lots of women get lucky enough to conceive at home after many diff fertilty treatments! FX FX FX!

 

[froggyfrog]

Kenna that would be amazing! I was telling dh that after the thousands we have already spent a part of me would be like aww crap lol, but of course we would be ecstatic! Megan im on cd 4 right now. So far I have only had 2 hotflashes from the medicine, so thats been nice!

 

[Wishing1010]

Haha! I know, it would be like "really, body? You didn't want to work when I was forking out all of our cash?!"
