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

[aidensmommy1]

Melewen, good luck!!! I get some what low temps but no BFP yet BUT I'm almost positive that's only because of my tube. If you look in the FF gallery, u can look at BFP charts with thyroid issues and progesterone deficiencies in the FF chart gallery. I know there's many progesterone deficiency charts while taking no meds in the BFP section. Good luck and fx!

Cheryl, I was worried about my tww temps when I started temping the 1st time. I kept comparing mine to other ladies who got hectic high spikes and mine was round about 1-2 degrees above coverline etc. I worried and Jess suggested I watch it because it could be my normal or I need to have it looked at. Apparently I worried for nothing because yes my flat temps got me my BFP. I won't have full site access till after the 1st so I'm on my phone but if you want me to give you the link to my chart later just shout and I'll get it for you.

Hoping to make some buddies on here to keep each other sane during our 2WW and everything in between. 8DPO here, 2nd month TTC. Im wishing everyone the best of luck. In the beginning who would have thought how hard it could be to actually make a little human, but i have learned patience and keeping positive helps A LOT.

Im here! 8dpo... Tested at 7dpo... of course BFN.... But there is still hope...

Yesterday the strangest thing happened... My nipples were burning when I took a shower, and soap on them hurt so badly!!! Anyone had this feeling before??

I have no other symptoms.. the usual getting to af....

Welcome to the new ladies..... FX you end up with in a couple of days.....

Thank you both! today i feel REALLY good... kind of makes me wonder whats going on. My mom called this morning and made little jokes like "are you not coming over because your sick this AM??? or have you been sick in the afternoon?!?!" im like 'uhhh no.... i just woke up. that's why im not coming over." I understand she really wants more grandkids but it sucks waiting this wait on if i am. she has no idea im TTC, but my sister recently got pregnant and i know she would love if i got pregnant also. If its not this month, i can try next! im just so impatient. i admire the ladies who have tried for a long time and are staying as positive as they can, and wont give up.

Welcome ladies! I'm Mary, nice to meet you both! I'm 5dpo today and the only thing going on with me at the moment are some twinges and my bbs hurt on the sides like I did a bunch of push ups. I'm trying not to get my hopes up...theres been too many let downs BUT I'm def keeping faith and hope for a holiday miracle!
Do either of you ladies temp BBT? Or how do you track O?

Tons of baby dust to everyone!

I do not track my temps, however after this month if i get a BFN i might be starting that up... I havent done anything except i downloaded an app for my phone called "my days" and i enter my period start date and it automatically pulls up when my ovulation should hit (its just an estimate) but judging from my CM i would say it is pretty on spot for me but i am not 100% sure. I also enter my stop days of periods, and can add notes for if i do start tracking my temps. best of luck to you!! I hope we all get BFP soon.

Its def very hard to stay patient while TTC! I'm on cycle #20 and I'm just barely learning to have a little more patience..lol. Ugh, why cant it just happen the first month, right when we want it to?! That'd def make life easier! Lol. Thank you for that comment at the end. Idk why but even though I was diagnosed with a blocked tube, I'm just convinced the enzyme therapy im doing is going to open my tube and something inside wont let me give up, even if I wanted to. I know we'll get our forever baby together, whether it's naturally or through IVF when we have the funding. I have 1 son, he's 6, and although my dh acts as his father and has for years now, I really hope we can be lucky enough to have a baby together. So its TTC #2 for me and #1 for him.

Anyway, Ive had both of my bffs conceive and give birth since I found out about my tubal issues in march and that made me want it THAT much more and same with EVERY bfp announcement so I can see how your sisters recent bfp would make you want it even faster! Its in our nature...lol. I truly hope you get your bfp asap! And I like that you have a positive look on it all, like myself. I always make a "plan" for the next cycle so that IF AF is to show her ugly face, I'm all ready to get started on the next cycle, u know? Sorry this was so long....ull soon see that I like to write alot of "short stories" lol.
Good Luck!!

Thats what I originally did and it works ok as long as u BD every other day or so for the 6 days before it says ull O and the 3-6 days after ull be in the right time frame. The only reason I gave such a big time span is because other signs can be confusing and those charts usually go by the textbook "CD14 O" but really most women O days or wks later or earlier. Hopefully u get ur bfp before temping but if not, its very easy and it'll help u pinpoint O quite well . When I started temping, I learned my LP length (time from O til when AF would arrive again), and I learned that even tho my signs were pointing to day 14-16 as ovulation day, I learned I was actually oing cd 11-12! But I always had a shorter 24-26 day cycle so I should have known. I just didn't understand because they def didn't teach this in school...they just said "u have sex, you'll get pregnant!" LOL, I wish! Haha
I'm sure u caught O and everything though so even if ur calendar is off for you personally, I bet there were still swimmers there awaiting, since they live 2-5 days in your reproductive tract, as long as u bd'ed at least every 3 days, usually they say that's enough with healthy sperm. I just wanted to share the info for knowledge. Ive learned FAR too much on this journey and needed to share!
How long are ur usual cycles?

I love to read what people have to say and i love to write just as much back if i can! I have already started planning for next month, thinking of starting to check my BBT, buy OPK, etc. I remember when kids sounded gross to me, i couldnt stand the thought of having one... then one day i woke up like "man i would love to have a child" and for the longest time it has stuck, so now the bf and i are trying. He kept saying "i have powerful manly sperm, i will get this the first try". I could only laugh and explain to him that no matter how "manly" his sperm may be, there are a lot of things that need to happen in order for pregnancy for most people. Now we are on month 2! We went from every night on my high fertility days and on ovulation, to going to try the every other day method when time comes again (heard that is better). I will try try try again till i get it! (dont think the bf has a problem with my dedication! ) its hard tho to wait. Seems like everyone on my fb is posting about their new pregnancy lately and im all like "that awesome!" yet with a hint of jealousy deep deep within. Even people who have only been together during a drunken night and got pregnant! (not downing those people at all just having a jealous moment) Im sooooo happy i found this site! I feel if i talk to others about my TTC (that are not on here) then when i do it wont be a surprise to them, and i would jinx it from talking too much. Am i weird? yeah a little.

 

[aidensmommy1]

Its funny, I was so stressed and freaking out that we may not have timed things right for O and then my temp rose back up, as usual, and I'm calm again. Idk why I do that to myself every cycle. I believe im someone who Os the day of the first pos opk and then it takes the LH a few days to leave my system...i guess ita quite normal. I'm happy I now know this. That's why we should stop testing after the first one, esp w a temp rise but we live and we learn! Lol. So now I'm relaxed again and NOT symptom spotting like crazy. I dont really have any anyway, for once lol. But I am noticing the sore bbs and where they're sore and its making me believe I had a good O and not so much of an estrogen dominance. We'll know after my 7dpo blood results come in this month if my hormones are good or not in the TWW . FX!!! I am so glad I'm calm and not TWW crazy today . I promised myself I wouldn't be yest but the darn fallback rises always seem to get me! I honestly think my temp was only so low yest due to the power outage and not really having heat. It was awful. Thank god for body heat! The 3 of us snuggled all night, which helped some.
As u ladies can see, I missed u all during the power outage and have so much to say! Lol. I hope all u girls had a great holiday weekend!!

How are u Wunna?!

 

[Jrepp]

Oh dear!! Knicked my lady bits while trying to clean up the area. I was getting sick of having to get clumps of progesterone out of the area. I also got a bit worried when I took a wondfo that I found while cleaning up the bathroom. The test line was pretty faint. My next ultrasound is Thursday so I'm just hoping out for that. Still pretty sick so I'm taking that as a good sign

 

[aidensmommy1]

Nurseginger, we ALL get jealous of other pregnancies. Its very hard not to so never feel bad for that! Its honestly in our nature...Even my dh gets jealous over pregnancy announcements!
I do know the exact feeling that ur talking about ALL too well! Its a sucky one and def def hard! I'm glad to have a new face on here! Now lets get our Christmas BFP's! Lots of luck and dust ur way!!

Jess, I bet ur levels are just too high for the test at this point. It turns neg after ur levels reach a certain point, depending on the test brand. I think, and pray, that ur just fine! Lots of luck for ur u/s! I cant wait until ur back telling us all the good news on Thurs!! fxxxxxx!!!! Many hugs ur way!

 

[Jrepp]

I hope so too Mary. I lost track at where my levels would be right now. I've been following your power outage saga. Was it from storms or something e,se?

 

[pitbullmomma]

Who missed me?! Lmao. Hey ladies, hope everyone is doing well! I am happy to be back on the TTC bandwagon after having a hiatus for a bit. We did end up moving to St. Louis, so my short attempt at charting kind of went belly up as we packed and unpacked etc. but I'm almost certain that I'm 11 dpo at the moment. My biggest symptom has been sore bbs mainly near my armpits, since about 7 dpo...but they seem less sore today so I guess we'll see. Anyone have less soreness then an increase? I'm not used to sore bbs, usually they don't hurt until right before AF or after a BFP so fingers crossed!

Also:
Tired (but I work retail and it's the holidays)
Bloating
Forgetfulness
Craving olives and tea...I'm normally just a water and one cup of coffee girl.
CP is high and CM is ranging between wet and creamy with some stretchiness

So how is everyone? Feelin hopeful?
This round of baby dust is on me!

xoxo
Jill

Aphrodite, NurseGinger - welcome and GL

Pitbullmomma - Welcome back!

Has anyone heard from Dani (cutieq)??? I read some disturbing stuff on her personal thread.

AFM trying not to get my hopes up about two higher temp days in a row, seeing how today's was most likely inaccurate. I went to bed way later than normal and got up a lot earlier and adjusted it. We'll see what tomorrow brings. FX

 

[aidensmommy1]

I hope so too Mary. I lost track at where my levels would be right now. I've been following your power outage saga. Was it from storms or something e,se?

yes, from a big snow storm. Trees fell EVERYWHERE knocking down lots of wires and then 3 transformers blew. It was the longest power outage that I've ever been in, that I can remember any way. So glad its over!
