Trying to conceive #1 Buddies!

[lvksa]

Ivksa that's tough! I could see either of those being O for you...how far off timing was your temp on cd19?

CD 18 - 7am
CD 19 - 8:40 am
CD 20 - 6 am (my norm)

CD 24 seems way far off though, right?

 

[psychochick]

Congrats Trr! H&H 9 months! I totally called it yesterday saying it was about time for a BFP on this thread!!!

 

[beemeck]

I think it's actually the first bfp?! congrats again TRR. hopefully we get some started

super - any news???

lvska - I'm not too sure about your temps actually. mine are always pretty different between pre o and post o so unfortunately I'm not good with interpreting a wide variety of charts. I have seen a lot of other women with charts like yours though! sometimes I wish I didn't know exactly where I was in my cycle. then AF or a BFP could maybe sneak up on me instead of dragging by, crossing off the days...

leson - hmm I wonder what's going on with your stomach? If it's lasting this long, could be something else. Maybe like an IBS type thing? hope you feel better though!

AFM - AF started a day early yesterday, on my bday no less. What's up with that?! not sure why my LP would change, but I know it's only by a day and that 13 days is still a nice LP time. Just want to be super consistent and regular in hopes in increases my chances...

CD 2 here, AF is a mess, but luckily cramps aren't being too horrible. planning to O mid month, so just for the time being.

Thanks bee and Trr...I'll hang in there. I just hate that so many places list this as "a sign of early pregnancy," which for me clearly it's not. Driving me nuts!

DH works in the health supplement industry so he was super cute when we first decided to try. He did so much research and then settled on Rainbow Light + DHA from his company. I'm going to go off of both for a bit to see if symptoms improve. Then introduce one at a time and see if they return.

Trr - I feel nauseated if I take them on an empty stomach. I fixed that just by taking them when I get home from work instead of in the AM. Still really wish they weren't so big BUT the minis/chewables/tummies have other drawbacks.

 

[beemeck]

oh I somehow totally missed the prenatal vitamin part !

my friend said hers made her so nauseated. I have a weak stomach and mine work perfect for me! I take MegaFood Baby and Me - they are completely all natural and made from whole foods so I think that helps. I never have to take them with food or anything, and I always have to take antibiotics with food.

 

[rynic24]

Hi I'd like to join! I'm trying for #1. It's been a few months now. I started taking prenatal vitamins and eating better. CD13. I'm hoping this month is the month !

Yeah, I would say CD24 is off. I'd say CD20 is more likely, seem to have more consistent higher temps after that.

@Trr CONGRATS!!! I think you may be our first BFP! Was there anything special you did this cycle that could help the other ladies?

@mrs unicorn the first cycle is always the most exciting! baby dust to u love!

@leson i take garden of life pre natals. i read awhile back about how a lot of vitamin companies use beans, rice, and rocks as fillers and they always made me feel sick. So we did some research and opted for raw organic vitamins. made from ground up actual food. it never makes me nauseous. look into it!

@psycho yes u def called it! hopefully we have a few more BFPs

@beemeck nothing yet. i was going to test today and then got REALLY nervous lol so im waiting until af is late. So sunday
Happy belated! Sorry about AF love. i hate her so much!
New pic? is that you? absolutely gorg!

@rynic welcome! have u o'd yet?

for me im 3 days from af due date. my symptoms are pretty normal now that the cm situation has calmed. ive been fighting a bad headache, mild cramps, and nausea but we switched milks ( still raw milk but a thicker version) and i have a feeling thats whats causing it. i feel like i may be out this cycle but its partially cause of what the psychic said lol i cant shake it

 

[psychochick]

beemeck: happy birthday! I don't have confetti so baby dust will have to do I know, why is it that you get AF to visit on your birthday, least welcome visitor ever!!

leson: I get stomach aches if I ever take vitamins on an empty stomach, but after food they're fine. I take naturemade brand vitamins.

unicorn: hope your first one will be the one

ivksa: I'd say that you're definitely currently in your TWW but it is also not clear to me exactly when your O is.

 

[beemeck]

welcome rynic! let us know when you o!

super - eeeeek 3 days! I dunno - those symptoms are sounding good.... and now that the BFPs have officially started, I'm calling a frenzy.... lol I totally forgot to respond about that psychic! I can't believe that! That's not a good way to get business. Now I really want you to prove her wrong and return in a few months with a cute little bump! thanks for the bday wish! that is me in my pic - I try to switch it up for each cycle and I don't think pics from my wedding were working (Superstitious much?) so this is a pic from my friends wedding in May

leson - yes, like super, I agree that the whole foods vitamins are the best! I haven't heard of rocks ?! but I do hear of other fillers.

psycho - thanks for the bday wish! and all I wanted for it anyway was baby dust so it's the perfect gift! Maybe mother nature was just busy and my gift will be belated? you are just chugging along over there girl - getting close to o! meant to say that my DH loves dragon ball Z (if that's what you were talking about) and Narruto (?) - I always tease him about it! love your pumpkins!

CD 3.

Yeah Naruto. I've never watched those two but they're very popular animes. The pumpkins are actually from an american cartoon last airbender but the creators studied a lot of japanese anime so it's like american anime. These animes are actually very powerful. They look like they're made for children but the characters are well made and extremely entertaining. Although I don't personally have the stamina for dragon ball Z and Naruto cuz those go on foreverrrrr. Last airbender ended after 3 seasons though and I was SO sad.

Yeap getting close to O and the weekend of romance looking forward to it. Lots of work this week though so it's chugging along slowly

 

[beemeck]

right!? I feel like he watches a narruto once a week for the past 3 years! they never run out! lol

are you going away this weekend??

 

[supergongjoo]

@beemeck yess i would LOVE that. i plan to be around west 4th around thanksgiving for a party. it would be great to run into her again.
OMG i cant believe how pretty you are! im pretty superstitious too lol so i may try to pic thing lol
Are you going to try anything different this cycle?

well i randomly tested not even with fmu. and no surprise BFN
still holding hope since af isnt due til this weekend and like i said i tested mid day

 

[lvksa]

Hey ladies
Tests from the past two mornings have been neg. this morning I swore I saw something as soon as I put the test down, but super faint. It was easier to see when the test was wet.

Wondering if anyone else can see anything?

Omg I think I do see something in the negative image!

 

[supergongjoo]

i SEE IT!!!!!! its a BFP FRENZY!!!!!

 

[lvksa]

Thanks for having a look girls. My first cycle TTC I had a faint positive (much easier to see than this one) at 14dpo, but AF showed soon after. Right now according to FF I could be 12dpo or 10dpo.

I'm very nervous that I will test tomorrow morning and it will be stark white. Keep me in your thoughts/prayers .

 

[natalie4]

Hi all, can I join? This is my second cycle ttc and currently on cd 12. Finding tracking cm and using opks very confusing and frustrating. Love to see other ladies getting their bfps!

 

[Trr]

Super- there was so much I could say I did this cycle to help myself out.
First and foremost- we only bd'ed every other day and I used soft cups. I think I honestly got the perfect opportunity when my cervix was super high in the AM and I had EWCM and I was due to ovulate that day because my OPKs were getting dark. Previously we had just bd'ed in the PM and my cervix was always low at that point. I jumped my poor hubby even when he was less then thrilled about it.
I honestly felt a lot less crazy this cycle, I tried not to symptom spot as much even though I was tracking my symptoms, I took time to go get a massage and went and got slobbered on by my baby nieces. I just took time to be chill and work on feeling more calm. Still tested like crazy and honestly had zero difference in symptoms from last month when af showed.

I think soft cups might have done the trick. And they are cheap so why the heck not

Hope this helps even one of you out thanks again for the support. Fx to you ladies

 

[MagicDance]

Trr- wonderful news and great tips too..might just have to try these soft cups for a few cycles. I want some of your leftover dust please yours was obviously very lucky

lvksa- im sure there is a faint line too. My fingers are crossed tightly for you love keep us posted xx

Must admit this has felt like a loooong cycle im 9dpo but feel like I should be more. Hmm.. im in good spirits and the bfps give me hope.

Goodluck all.
