Struggling TTC#2 - A thread for Pics, Positivity, Pontificating, and POAS!

[sarasmile]

hi ladies! definitely a BFP got my frer line this morning!! it's still surreal.... wow. camichelle, go poas! hahaha
ameilh - you have to get a microscope and you put your spit on a slide and look at it a high magnification to see if it dries in a ferning pattern. if it does, you are at peak fertility and are about to ovulate. its and indicator to start BDing! with opks for some women that is not a clear enough picture of what is really happening and you may end up BDing too late. with ferning it goes away once you are no longer fertile. its caused by a surge of estrogen, and can predict periods and pregnancy for some women. being pregnant now, I have been ferning for three days straight and should for a while. just another neat trick! you can get a fertility scope for $20-30.

Just for you all to see. This is my frer on fmu today.

and the other is my ferning saliva (since you guys seemed interested).

Congrats Sara

I always thought ttc #2 I would be less obsessive about it but no . maybe I would be more relaxed if it wasn't for the pph I had after birth and the 2 d&c procedures. Only one more week until testing for me. Ahhhh.

 

[sarasmile]

noodle - makes perfect sense why your are obsessing. if i went through that I would be obsessing too! when you want something that badly you're gonna think about it a lot. your jist keeping your head in the game i stayed obsessing and it still happened for me. I just told everyone that I wasn't hahaha. I hated when people just me to just relax. I wanted to punch them in the face. haha now I just hope this baby is sticky! good luck!

 

[CoralInGold]

Don't worry 6footnoodle, we are all slightly obsessed we just want our little babies so much!

Hoping your little bean is sticky Sara

 

[6footnoodle]

Haha ya I just try and hide it from everyone that I'm going crazy I'm just glad I'm able to resist testing early. Or at least this month lol.

 

[sarasmile]

how many dpo are you noodle? I was 9 when I found out. funny story though on 7 dpo I took a test that the next day if showed a line.... secretly made me excited but I waited until 9 to try again and it was positive.

 

[6footnoodle]

I am 10 dpo. If I were to test early it would be 12 dpo. But my luteal phase is long around 15 days so I am trying to wait to 15 dpo.

That's awesome how you got it so early. I have a feeling I don't implant till late. With my first pregnancy I got my very slight positive at 15 dpo. Makes me think I wouldn't see anything earlier since at 15 it was so light.

Hi ladies wanted to introduce myself. I'm Lucy and me and my husband are ttc #2. Our little boy will be 3 on Christmas Eve. We were actively trying for about 7 months but nothing happened so we stopped as we were getting married and I didn't want to be a heavily pregnant bride. Since being married we have tried again for another 3 months and so far nothing. Ds was a nice surprise so we didn't ever try for him so finding it tough and stressful this time round!

 

[KozmikKitten]

Congrats on your BFP Sara!

Welcome lcg! Good luck trying this month!

Looks like theres some testers in here this week! Hoping for more BFP's this week!!

I am likely ovulating this week. I think I'll start OPK's tonight. I dont know if I might have missed my O this month because my cycle was so off. But hoping its still going to be around day 15-17 which is normal for me, and that I wont have missed it. AF was here from Oct 1-9 so can't imagin I would have ovulated immediately after that.

 

[CoralInGold]

Welcome lcgoodac, & good luck

Hope you catch the eggy kozmik

I tested today at 13dpo, AF is due tomorrow & I have some mild cramps & tender boobs. I have a feeling she is on her way & we'll be coming into our 5th month of TTC. I have always had a good feeling about November though so maybe its meant to be.

 

[Bug222]

great lines Sara!!! congrats!

welcome lcgoodac!

 

[6footnoodle]

Omg yayyyyy. Just got a bfp!!! I was feeling dizzy again today so I caved and tested. I'm so happy my uterus still works. I was terrified it would have scarring from my pph and d&c.

 

[KrissyB]

Congrats 6!!! I'm not even a squinter and I can see that ! H&H 9 months!


Oh! And I almost missed it (it's been a while since I've been on) - Congrats Sara, too!!
