Aww yay! Congrats to Tui!

 

[Emiloo]

Congrats Charmed! I hope your lines get darker and darker!! So whats this about a toaster?? Confused lol!

Little update on my first cycle off BCP-
Got AF 2/3 days after finishing the pill
CD4- AF ended
CD6-9 Ive had fertile CM (watery and then EWCM)

Feeling positive but hoping my CM isnt giving me false hope!!

Hi ladies, another update on my first cycle off BCP- FF is saying that I O'ed on Saturday because of my high temperatures even thought I missed it on my OPKs but I could have missed it on the Friday while we were in London. So it looks like Im 5dpo!!

Congratulations Lavender!!

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

Congratulations Tui! That's great news!

AFM: I'm close to a positive OPK, actually, it could be positive but it could be either lol. Anyway, DH and I BD Sunday and Tuesday, going to BD tonight, and I'm trying to BD every other day, which is what my Dr suggested a while ago, but maybe we should try to BD every day? I just don't know.

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

Charlie....I BD on day 8, 9, 11, 12, 14, 15, 17 and 18. I O'd on day 15 according to FF and + OPK on day 13, 14, 15.

Not sure that helps...but it's what I did.

Hi, everyone! Hope everybody is doing well! That's great news about Tui, congrats to her!

Emiloo, yay for being so many dpo! I hope you caught that eggie!

Charlie, that's exciting that you're almost there too! For what it's worth, we did eod this cycle instead of every day. It just felt like less pressure to me and allowed me to relax a little bit more. I have no idea yet if it worked, but that's my 2 cents anyways! That had been my plan once we first started ttc and my Dr agreed that it was a good one. But once I knew I was Oing each month, I would get too anxious and insist that we would every day if possible instead! Haha! Good luck with whatever you decide to do!!!

I've had a really good feeling about this month so far. I've been having slight cramping/pulling/pelvic fullness since O day. I had some sharper pains on Monday at 6dpo, and I had some slightly yellow cm that day too. Sore back and sore boobs but that's not really weird for me. I also keep getting these muscle twinges in my calf at night, it feels like when your leg muscle starts to twitch right before a Charley Horse but it never turns into one. I don't know if that's a symptom or not! I'm hoping that I'm not just talking myself into all of this, I've done a really good job of not symptom spotting the last couple of months but I'm afraid temping this month might have put me back in crazy mode. I did break down and test this morning at 9dpo and of course a bfn. I plan to test again on Saturday, then not until Wednesday (AF is due Monday or Tuesday). I also tried an opk this morning (because I'm crazy, and because they say sometimes that can indicate pregnancy) but the 2nd line was barely there at all. That got me really discouraged, until I read that it really only appears positive on those with pregnancy AFTER there's enough hcg to show up on a hpt. So I'm back to being hopeful! If I'm not pregnant this cycle then I think I have some cysts going on or something. :/

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

Thanks ladies! I think I will sick with EOD for this cycle. Definitely less stress that way and I'm using preseed so I'm hoping that helps too.

FX for you turtle!

Charmed, how are you doing?

 

[LavenderLove]

Welcome to the TWW Emiloo! That's great that you've already O'd your first cycle off BC. And thank you!

Sounds like EOD is the way to go Charlie. I'm really hoping the Preseed does it's thing for you this cycle.

Turtle the cramping/pulling/sharp pains has me really hopeful for you! I tried the OPKs on Monday when I got the BFP and yeah, it was only darker then. So FX!

A sprinkling of dust for everyone while I'm at it, hehe.

 

[Turtle0630]

Charlie and Lavender, thank you both! Charlie, it's amazing how eod instead of daily can make you feel so much more relaxed, huh?

Lavender, did you try the opk to test for pregnancy prior to the day you got your bfp? Or did you wait until you got it to test out the theory until after you got your bfp?

 

[LavenderLove]

I dunked the OPK immediately after I saw lines coming up on the HCG tests. I was using ICs so I really wanted to make sure they weren't evaps before I broke out the FRER. Kind of curious what the OPKs would show now!

 

[Turtle0630]

Yeah, no kidding! Well I'm trying to still be hopeful! When I heard you say that you had cramps/puking leading up to yours, that's what really got me hopeful!

 

[MrsHudson]

I hope this is it for you Charlie. DH and I actually did every two days a little before O and then every other day with O happening on a day we did not BD. My ob suggested that. DH has a habit that made me really worry about his little swimmers.

FX for you emiloo!

Turtle I had feelings like that too. Though I'm not 100% certain it was lady parts and not the parasite. DH said it was the electricity of the baby being made (I guess it was in some 80s movie I never saw) and he was right in a way lol. I so hope this is it for you too. But to me it felt like a cyst forming.

 

[Turtle0630]

MrsH, I keep saying that if this isn't it, I'm sure I've got cysts going on in there! Weird! And that makes me feel more confident about it too! Also, my DH has the same habit that I'm pretty sure you're talking about, and that makes me feel a LOT better about it, as I've had a few worries about it too. Assuming that we're talking about the same thing that is.

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

So much for BD tonight... DH is already passed out and I'm too sad about it to Even attempt to wake him up for it. this baby making thing is getting really depressing.

 

[Turtle0630]

Awww Charlie, big hugs sent your way! I'm sorry that dtd was a bust last night. But it sounds like you've been really covered so far! Do you think you've O'd yet, or are you still gearing up for it? You could always dtd tonight instead, and then just start being eod from today. That's what I would do anyways!

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

Thanks Turtle, I think that's what I will do. I shouldn't have O already, but who knows. I wrote DH a letter last night while I was crying on the couch. I'm such a huge emotional wreck. I left it for him to read this morning when he got ready for work and he came and snuggled me this morning after he read it. I'm just having a really hard time staying positive and staying strong.

If it's something CO is now famous for, then yes lol. I worried a ton about it. He's been doing that longer than he should have been. But now that I am pregnant he does not do it around me. There's not enough studies to make me feel comfortable.

Charlie I'm sorry. I can't imagine

 

[LavenderLove]

Oh Charlie, big big hugs. I'm so sorry this has been so hard on you. Hopefully EOD from tonight on will be just what you need this cycle around. Sending good thoughts your way!

 

[twinkie2]

EOD is so much less stressing and less stress is better in ttc! Best of luck Charlie!
