The BFP Before The 'Would Of Been' Due Date Thread - Any Joiners?

[kategirl]

Kmae, I hope this is your cycle!!!

Trying to be more positive now that AF really is here... I stopped at the grocery store on my way home and got honey and cinnamon, some iron-rich snacks (Cheerios/sunflower seeds/dark chocolate chips/golden raisins for a trail mix and frozen broccoli) since I have always been a touch anemic and I've heard iron can improve fertility (and I'd rather get it from natural sources for now), and some red raspberry leaf tea. I did the honey and cinnamon tonight, and it was actually pretty yummy. The tea is cooling right now... I don't like tea so I hope I can learn to drink this one! I'm also going to start temping tomorrow morning.

Edit to add: The tea was actually fairly decent! Not the tastiest thing ever, but I actually drank the whole mug without too much trouble, and usually I can never ever finish a cup of tea. Hopefully it will help!

Sorry about AF Kate

Just a quick question girls. I had a slight bleed 18 days ago and I don't know if that was my AF or not. I was on holiday last week and done 2 OPK's ... one on Monday and one on Wednesday/Thursday (can't remember when ) and both were negative. Done OPK's daily since Monday and all have been negative again. Could I have ovulated between my last OPK and Sunday as technically I would have been 13/14 days after the bleed. If I could have ovulated when would I test? x

I would say it's possible you could have ovulated during that window when you weren't testing. I would keep up with the OPK's for another 2-3 days if you have some to spare, and if they still stay negative maybe try a HPT in a week or so??

Waiting does suck. Took us 18 months to conceive skyler our son then got a bfp through icsi after ttc our second for a year. Lost her half way through then it's now been nearly four more months if this frozen cycle doesn't work it'll tack on another 3 months plus the length of treatment a healthy couple one average usually takes 7 months to conceive. I'd say it's a great indicator that you did conceive the first time around last time.

Had other things to say but now I've gone and forgotten it all. I have my scan to check my uterine lining tomorrow morning so everyone please think "thick thoughts!" I'm hoping that my lining will have responded super well so that they do transfer fri or sat instead of sun or mon.

kategirl, I think I actually read somewhere that women eat sunflower seeds after O to try and help implantation, or something like that. And yes, iron is SUPER important. I went to see a public nurse today and the only thing she even cared about was my hemoglobin, which was 14.6 I loved temping! I only had to do it for one cycle, so hopefully you'll be the same

kelly, I may just be dumb, but what exactly is icsi? I've heard of IVF, IUI...

Would love to join! Did IVF and was 9 weeks when we discovered baby no longer had a hb. I was and still am devastated after all I went through. I am going to try an IUI cycle in May. Due date was October 15th.

ICSI is intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection. Basically in IVF if they think there may be trouble with fertilization, they will inject a single sperm into an egg and insure that fertilization occurs.

Iluvbabies we were in another thread oh ether though I can't remember which one. Thanks for explaining icsi for me.

Scan went well transfer will be Monday so tomorrow is my technical ovulation day and sat I'll be 1dpo even though I have no embies in me yet.

 

[Kmae]

Yay Kelly! So glad it went well. I just know you will be annoucing your BFP to us in no time!

stephani, 36 days to full term- how exciting!

Iluvbabies, so sorry for your loss. We area ll here to support you whenever you need us.

 

[Mrskg]

A teen midwife is a midwife that specialises in helping teens through their Pregnancy & labour x I was 17 when I had my first an in hindsight they were quite patronising think they thought I wouldn't cope I proved them wrong lol xxx

 

[xxxjessxxx]

Thanks Mrskg I'll be 20 by the time the baby is here though, and to be honest I don't feel like a teen I don't go partying, drinking, or anything like that (not that all teen's do that lol). But I'd say I'm rather mature for my age
I hope mine isn't patronising! Before I met my midwife, I thought she was going to be, but she kept saying how much of a polite young lady I was and how me and OH seeemed like genuinely lovely people xxx

 

[ILuvBabies200]

Kelly9-I remember you!!! Was wondering where you went.

 

[ILuvBabies200]

Kelly thinking "thick thoughts" for you xxx

Iluvbabies so sorry for your loss x your due date was national baby loss day xxx

Thanks jess I sure hope you are right xxx

I know and I found that really odd! I know the date is gonna be real tough if we have accomplished nothing by then.

 

[Kelly9]

Iluvbabies what thread were we on together? I thought I caught up with all my threads but maybe one disappeared off my list? Sorry for your loss.

Wait was it the FET thread?

I'm glad my scan went well but sad that I still have to wait 4 days to know how many
Embies they have to thaw and to have them back safet inside me. Last injection tomorrow thankfully.

 

[Kmae]

Kelly, it's crazy how much we need to go through to have babies!

My bitchy AF got me today. I will have me a good cry later on, I really had my hopes up this month. Well, I will be taking Clomid this cycle. Hoping I don't turn into a crazy lady due to the SE.
