Trying preseed this time!

[Kzee]

Hello ladies! Just wated to say I've read these posts from start to finish and you're all so lovely and supportive of each other! I feel the urge to get involved too! Firstly congratulations to everyone on this thread who got their BFP. How exciting. Praying myself and others get theirs too very very soon. I love how you've all remained positive for each other, especially on those horrible low days that TTC can bring.

Here's my shortened story...

Me and the other half have been together 10 years this September! We stopped using protection about 7 years ago, a very long time which has always plagued me BUT we lived apart up until 3 months ago so we could have easily missed the right days. I hope that's all it is anyway! I have pretty regular periods 25-28 days.

We actively started TTC 2 months ago, just about to start my 3 cycle but I'm so scared there's something wrong but I also know how hard it can be to get KU even being perfectly healthy/fertile. Anyway it's always in the back of my mind so if anyone has any reassuring words, I'd be most grateful!

I've just brought preseed and I desperately hope it works. I don't use Opk or chart (yet), just an iPhone app which predicts my ovulation etc. i also noticed some ewcm around that time so hoping its correct! Just wondering how often and how far leading up to OV (assuming I am?!) you should BD?

Anyway, hope you're all ok and we all get our BFP before too long! Xx

HOORAY FOR THE SMILEY FACE!!!

I'd definitely wait until tomorrow, however I love his enthusiasm! You want to make sure his guys have enough time to build back up!! Just FYI, we only dtd once 2 days before I ovulated the cycle we conceived (I definitely would have thrown some more in there if I knew I was actually going to ovulate that cycle, but apparently it didn't matter)... my point is, you don't have to continue to bd like crazy to get pregnant... give it another 24 hours so you have an "ample supply"

Yep I have told DH to wait until the am, lol. We dtd yesterday and this morning so i think we are good waiting for the morning. OMG if you dtd 2 days before your o day then you probably are having a girl!!!! Boy or Girl, healthy is all that matters, but I am thinking your siggi prediction could most def be right!

Welcome Kzee. The support from ladies all over BnB is amazing! I would not have been able to go through some rough times through out my ttc journey without them! Don't stress so much about thinking something is wrong with you. Like you said, you are only on cycle 3. Maybe wait 3 more months and if you want some bloodwork done, talk with your gyno. Try your best to stay positive....it's going to happen for all of us!!

Welcome KZee! I agree with hope, I would call for an appointment if no results in a few months. I also highly recommend OPK's, because It lets you know when your window of opportunity is Happy to have you here

Only my first day on Clomid 100mg. OMG Hot flashes. Not cool. I felt so sweaty all day!! Emotions haven't gotten to me yet.

Hope- Yay for soon entering the TTW. You could be getting KU any second!!!

Wow watta story mrs326!

Congrats and wish u a happy pregnancy!!! Well, psychic Cheri has predicted a conceive, find out or birth in April for me. Soooo hope its true for conceiving!
Had you consulted her too?

 

[Mrs.326]

Kzee - Welcome! We're glad to have you The girls are right, wait a few more months and if you still don't see results call your doctor. Most doctors won't see you until you've been actively trying for 6-12 months so that'd be the perfect window for you to call. Also, I agree w/ MrsKibler, try OPKs! They really do help.

Hope - I know! That thought has been in the back of my mind. Although, you're right, as long as baby is healthy the gender doesn't matter... it's still exciting to think about, though Excited to hear your updates over the next 2 weeks!!

MrsKibler - I had awful hot flashes on clomid, too. Funny thing is that since I've been pregnant I am extremely cold! After I eat my body temp rises though and that's usually when I'm the most uncomfortable... that and when I sleep - I throw the blankets on and off all night long. I hope that side effect wears off soon

Canisa - Thank you very much!! I did get a reading from Cheri, she was the one that predicted April and November as significant months. Hope she's right for you, too! GL!

Thanks Mrs.326! I have recently registered with a new doctor and have an appointment for 30th April. I think I may tell a few white lies and say that we've been actively trying for over 6 months so we can get things moving sooner. I hope it works! Just because of the 7 years of NTNP is slightly worrying. Do you think that nothing happened during this time purely because of the lack of BDing? It really was very irregular due to living apart. I hope that is all it was. OH is getting himself checked at the end of the month also so FX we're both fine and will get a BFP in no time, here's hoping!

I tried temping for a month but it was really confusing, also OH is a nurse and said the thermometer was crap because everyday my temp was lower than the average human body temp of 37.5 °C. I was getting 34 or 35's! I also tried OPK once, again, confusing. Would you mind looking at the image of FR OPK? The bottom one is the first one and the others the subsequent days, they seemed to fade. Supposedly non are positive as the test line needs to be darker than the control line and non are... The control line is the one on the right. I guess the fact that they're showing something is a good sign? right? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Can I ask, do you have to pay for these predictions? Also where do you do it?

Thanks guys x

 

[Mrs.326]

Oh yeah, I'm sure it has everything to do with timing. After going through the TTC journey, I don't understand how people can "accidentally" get pregnant - it's the hardest thing we've ever done and I still count my blessings and feel extremely fortunate... That all being said, it neve hurts to get a doctors opinion, and you may be one of the unlucky ones like some of us on this thread that have irregular or weak ovulation since your tests are never actually postive... maybe your doctor could prescribe clomid. As for the tests showing a line, I'm not the best person to ask, maybe the other girls will have more advice on this, but since I have PCOS I constantly had lines and would have positives at odd times throughout my entire cycle (my body was gearing up for ovulation, but wouldn't actually go through with it). You could also try the OPKs with the smiley face since those are easier to read.

As for the readings - yes... I paid (not my proudest moment, but hey! it was fun) They're not that bad, really. Anywhere from $5-$15. I used Cheri, Stormy, and Gail. If you google "fertility psychic" or "baby psychic" and their name they'll pop up in your search... a lot of women TTC use them.

 

[Kzee]

Yeah, i know you're right about the timing. All my friends with kids got a BFP after one or two tries, HOW?! ha ha!

Not your proudest moment, ha ha! I just think of Whoopi Goldberg in Ghost, smashing the door down and screaming around the room when I think of them psychics, I bet you I do it at some point! It'll be too hard to resist!

Well, hope everything's going well and I'll check in with you soon xx

 

[Mrs.326]

Hey girls!! It's been a while since I've checked the thread for any updates, so I wanted to see how everyone is doing! Any news??

 

[Mrs B.]

Hi Mrs.326, how you getting on? Having any fun pregnancy symptoms??

I'm just starting the tww (I think, had a positive opk on Fri and ov pain Fri, Sat, Sun and this morning but still got watery cm and no temp rise, though i only started temping a few weeks ago...) Pretty down tbh, don't think this is my month

Anyway, how's everyone else doing?

 

[Hope1409]

Hi ladies, i took the relaxed approach this month trying not to stress and think so much. I thought it was working until I broke down and tested yesterday at 10dpo and got a bfn. I know its early but still feel shattered.

AF should arrive Thurs or Fri. Last cycle with clomid, I had af cramps 5 days before getting it, this time around it's just been on and off since Saturday. I'm trying not to read into it, I am just so tired and mentally drained. I will hopefully find out my day 21 results today and hopefully my numbers will be high again.

How's everyone else doing?

Oh - Just the same old stuff... cramps, insomnia, insane food cravings (not so much cravings really as the need to eat right now), sore boobies, etc. etc.

Sorry to hear you're down this month, but I'm keeping my FX'd for you none the less

Awe, hope. Kuddos to you for taking the relaxed approach. I know it's really difficult to do! And I got a BFN at 11dpo and a BFP at 12dpo so don't get too down just yet. FX'd!!

 

[MrsKibler]

Mrs. B- Hopefully some good news from you at the end of the week then!! Keep your head up

Mrs.326, glad to hear momma and baby are doing well

Hope- Don't lose HOPE! Its early! Try to relax the next couple days and test again at the end of the week.

So, I should have had ovulated by now, its CD 18. I didn't think I got a Positive test, but I had one day where it was darker (CD 16) and now last two days have been lighter than that one. Last cycle I had 3 positive days. What do you guys think? Is it normal to just have one day positive? Maybe I actually ovulated.
I haven't temped this cycle- I've been checking cervix randomly. A bit too relaxed I think I can't even figure out if I O'd. lol.
Here are my OPK's

Hi all! Good to hear from you! I'm just starting the tww also. OH had his SA last week during my fertile period, so we couldn't bd much at all. I struggle temping and haven't started using OPK (yet) so hoping that one time on my supposed Ovulation was enough! Used preseed also, fingers crossed! Please please pleeeeeease! How's early pregnancy going? X

 

[Mrs.326]

MrsKibler - Totally possible to get 1 positive OPK! The surge is usually 12-48 hours, so you probably caught the positive in the middle of your window. FX'd you caught the little egg!!!!!

Kzee - early pregnancy is draining, although I am more than happy to be a little exhausted for the end result Just a few more weeks until the 2nd tri for me! SO looking forward to that! Everyone says I'll get my energy back and will sleep better - we'll see.

 

[Hope1409]

Do Internet cheapie hpt give evap lines a lot? I took one this am, bfn, looked at it again after 30 mins and can see something very very very faint. Don't knot what to make of it. Advice?

 

[Mrs.326]

HOPE!!!!!! I literally just squealed in excitement for you! I got such a super faint BFP on an IC when I first tested that I was almost sure I was seeing things... Went out and bought a FRER right away and it was a little darker. I say test again later with a FRER, or test first thing in the morning... BUT, I don't think IC's are known for evaps...

 

[Mrs B.]

MrsKibler - I only get one day positive on OPK's (day before is usually an almost there). I also noticed this month that my positive result was not as clear as last months positive...(same OPK's) so I guess they vary for everyone. Had a look at your pic and the darkest one looks just like the positive I had this month so looks like you O'd! Yay! Come join me in the tww

Hope - I have my fingers crossed for you!! Can you post a pic?

Thanks everyone for the positive posts. Feeling mildly better now, temps have sort of gone up...ish! Still don't feel like it is my month...but as I have often felt so sure I was PG before and then got a BFN maybe this is a good thing?!! xx

 

[MrsKibler]

Kzee- fx'd your caught it!

Hope you have to post a picture! I'm so anxious for you!

Thanks everyone for the answers. went to the bathroom this afternoon and a couple of dark smears in my cm, any one heard of that happening after o? Couldn't be implantation this early. Just thought it was weird. :/

 

[Mrs.326]

I have heard that ovulation itself can cause a bit of spotting... Especially since its been a while since you ovulated, maybe that's what it was???
