The Beanstalkers (formally ttc buddy?)

Hi ladies! Hope everyone is having a good week so far.

Kendra - I'm feeling the same way and keep checking to see if af has started but it hasn't. It really feels like its coming though.

mk8 - Thanks, I still don't have an answer yet for this cycle but I really am trying to wait patiently. I wonder the same thing about my environment killing off the sperm. I actually don't get ewcm so I wonder if I'm too acidic. I used preseed for the first time this cycle b/c of that but still not sure if it worked or not.

Lisa - I feel like af is on her way for me too. I also put a panty liner on this morning b/c I just felt so sure of it. This waiting game is not fun!

Baby4u14 - FX'd for you that you'll get to see your BFP!

Rn - Wow...you're already on CD10. Awesome, you'll be ovulating in no time! Baby Dust to you!
 
Good morning ladies!!!!

I feel like our thread is losing steam. :(

How is everyone doing today???
Ladies in the TWW - How are those tests coming along???
Rae - Have you stopped doing OPKs?


Today is CD10 for me. Getting ready to do my morning OPK. Lets see what it says..... LOL... Im betting on negative!

Yes, I gave up on the OPKs since they were all showing up dark most of the time. Think they're pointless for me when everything appears positive.
 
Hi Ladies!
I just wanted to stop in and see whats new?
I'm going to try to get caught up while my class is taking their test.

first off, i want to apologize for missing out on all of your wonderful group therapy sessions, i miss them, i have had terrible morning sickness and havent been on very often.

secondly, i had my first ultra sound last friday in which the dr told me i was only 5 weeks and 5 days... no where near the 8 w they thought i should be,
she also told me i will be in maternity wear way before my first trimester is over because of the size of the "sack" i dont quite understand it but the ultra sound shows what looks like a huge bubble with a tiny grain of rice in it... i get to go back on the 29th for another ultra sound.

so i hope everyone is doing great! and i hope to see alot of BFP's !!!

ps. the HCG drops : they didnt have any effect on my or my body at all, besides they made me sick, because i ate so little while taking them. i was also told that it doesnt really have any effect like that because it is perfectly safe and harmless to men as well... or something like that.. :)
 
Hi ladies!

I am so excited today! I went in to see my normal dr today and explained my luteal phase defect to him. he actually listened! I showed him my fertility friend site and agreed that I have a progesterone issue! He had blood drawn and referred me to a specialist. my appointment is a week from today! :) I am so excited!
 
Kasi - YAY!!! Im so glad you got a doctor that actually listened and is getting done what needs to be done!!!! FX for yoU!!!

Rae - Im sorry about the OPKs. Are you still temping?

Effy - Thanks for the info on the HCG drops. I have stopped taking them. Since the first couple of times I used them I have had some really bad reflux issues. I held them under my tongue for a few minutes like it said and then of course they have nowhere to go but down. And I felt them burning the whole way down. Besides, they made me instantly feel like I was gonna hurl. So, the HCG drops are a no go. But I ordered them off the internet, so who knows if i actually got the real deal. The site seemed legit. :shrug: All I know is Im not using them again.

Mrs Grimes - Thank you for the baby dust!!!! Im sending it right back at ya!

**You know, I do wonder about the HCG drops though. Im not sure how they work exactly. Well, I understand how they get your body to burn the fat. But I don't know if the drops turn into what is recognized as HCG after it is in the digestive track and being metabolized or what. Because for the fun of it I dipped an HPT in the HCG drops and got nothing. Stark white negative test. Me being a nurse I should know how that stuff works, but Im clueless with this one. I mean, the bottle says HCG is the only ingredient besides alcohol ( i think ) and water. :shrug:
I have no doubt if you have real ones they would work. I just think I got a dud bottle. :(
 
Rae - Im sorry about the OPKs. Are you still temping?

Yes, I'm still temping like a mad woman. No spikes yet (well since my last 2 day long unexplained spike that seems like eons ago). I'm actually glad I gave up the OPKs. They were causing major stress on me and hubby. Me thinking they're positive, bugging him to compare them, then thinking we had to BD right now and if we didn't we would miss it! We're pretty much in the NTNP stage at this point. I mean, I'm still temping and trying to pay attention to my body and such but it seems like I'm in a war against my uncooperative hormones so I'm pretty much giving up on anything happening without the help of a doc. If it does, great, but I'm going on the assumption that I'll have to be patient until the end of June when I finally get in to see the obgyn. Hopefully there is something she can do for me and these ridiculously long cycles.
 
Im keeping my fingers crossed that it gets straightened out once you see the doc. Who knows, they might put you on Clomid.

:hugs:
 
I'm thinking that is probably where I'm headed. And possibly metformin too if they do confirm my suspicions of PCOS. Which wouldn't be a terrible thing since metformin is supposed to help you lose weight if you have insulin resistance and I'll take any help since it is coming off sloooooowly right now.
 
No :bfp: i hate to say it but i think i didnt happen this month oh well maybe next. BTW IM IN HAWAII!!!
 
I'm so confused...AF due today or tomorrow..mild cramps...now a hint of CM... :'(
 
Gueyilla - Sorry about no BFN....but at least you've got HAWAII to keep your mind off of it!!

Baby - Same here, just a day behind you. I just want to know either way, argh!

Rae - Hang in there. Hoping something happens soon. I also have an obgyn appt in late June. Scheduled a regular checkup, but will be good timing if I don't have a bfp by then.

Kasi - Nice! Glad your doc listened.

Effy - Sorry about your morning sickness. Pass along the baby dust, though!

Another BFN for me this morning. I keep telling myself that I'm done POAS, then I wake up the next day and do it again! :dohh: Hubby took today off so we are going to buy our new bedroom set, complete with mattress and boxspring. Hoping we can find a good deal somewhere. Have a good day everyone! :hugs:

I'm trying to wait until tomorrow to test though !! I wil be 2 days late for AF...I keep thinking she here but when I check it's only CM ughh!!!
 
Hey ladies, just checking in... AF got me yesterday and that means I've had a 26 day cycle and a 25 day cycle I don't know why they're getting so short?

Get my labs back today to see if I have a hormone imbalance or PCOS I don't want to have those things but I do want to have answers to why I feel the way I do and why I can't have a baby!
