TTC #1 AL Buddies 2016 Newcomers Welcome

[raine87]

So I caved and took an ovulation test tonight and I'm finally ovulating this month (cd 18 which I guess isn't too bad). Of course this couldn't have happened 3 days ago when DH and I had a couple of days off together. Oh no I have to ovulate when I'm working 4 out of 5 nights! Seriously!?!?!?

 

[RichieesMom]

Bronte, nice to have u back! So glad ur trip went well n safe!! Now bring on the ivf!

Les n bee, everything crossed for u ladies! I'll keep y'all in my prayers.

Mrs u, its very refreshing to hear that ur feeling relaxed n happy this cycle.

Well, STILL no AF. Had bad cramping all day n night a couple days ago, totally expected AF to show but she never came. Yesterday my left ankle was swollen out of nowhere! I wasn't even the one to notice, my aunt did. But I still REFUSE to think anything other than a wacky cycle. I just can't bring myself to test. I like the not knowing way more than the knowing. If its a bfn then I'm just waiting on AF. The not knowing what I'm waiting on feels better. Sounds crazy I know..

 

[Starlight288]

Richiees mom, you have some strong will power!!! How's you get an answer soon.


I'm just here hanging out. My temps are up and down between 97.9-98.2. I've had some symptoms but I think it's just AF. I'm totally okay with that because this month was just and oops. Next month is when I'm officially suppose to start trying.

 

[lesondemavie]

Raine - that's great news

Star - My temps are around 98.2. When is AF due?

Also so good to hear from you both

 

[Aayla]

Raine: Awesome that you ovulated! I ovulate late as well. cd 19 usually. So I would guess now that you are in the TWW. Are you going to test early or wait for af?

speaking of testing...Richiees...what's going on? any af yet? Last I heard you were going to test this weekend. Have you or did you change your mind?

Leson: your temps are looking good. are you going to test or wait for af?


AFM: end of cd 16 here. opk's still negative. Ovulation should happen any day now. I'm testing opk's 3x a day so I am hoping I dont' miss the surge but we will be doing it every day now so as not to miss it.

 

[mrs unicorn]

Raine - great news about ov! Hopefully things will settle down nicely for you.

Star - when is af due?

Aayla - sounds like a plan, hopefully ov isn't too far off for you and you catch it.

Les - how are you love? Hope this longer TWW isn't too bad for you. Although I guess you're not quite in the extended bit yet!

Richiees - woman of immense will power - how are you doing, any update?!

AFM +opk today and lots of EWCM over the past couple days which has got me very excited. I've been taking EPO to help increase it again, so looks like it's working! Also been feeling proper o pains like before the mc again, so I'm a happy bunny!!

 

[lesondemavie]

Aayla - I can't really trust my temps since I'm on progesterone. I'll probably test tomorrow and then at 14 DPO as well.

MrsU - yay O and ewcm! I'm doing well. Just super busy and distracted. The extended bit starts tomorrow. 3 extra days shouldn't be that bad right?

 

[beemeck]

girls - I know people always said it me and it didn't mean much, but keep on going because you WILL get your bfps!!!

I got mine this morning against all odds of a natural cycle, 15 months into trying.

will update more later but I'm thinking of you all!!!

 

[mrs unicorn]

when you put it like that, les, no 3 days isn't so bad. And you're gona maybe doing the odd test anyway. Keeping everything crossed for you! xxx

Bee - massive congrats hunny!! I'm still uber excited and emotional for you! xx

 

[lesondemavie]

Bee!!!! I'm so so happy for you! That is fantastic news. Congrats 🎉🎈😂

 

[Starlight288]

Raine - that's great news

Star - My temps are around 98.2. When is AF due?

Also so good to hear from you both

Les/ Mrs.-Should be here Friday. You? Les your chart looks good!!


Bee that's so exciting!!!! Congrats!!

 

[raine87]

Bee-- congrats!!!!

Aaryla--- I will probably wait for af. I'm really trying to be more laid back about all of this.

 

[RichieesMom]

Congrats bee!!!!!!! Aahhhhhh so exciting babe!!!

Well girls, I know I said I'd test end of the week.....but I chickened out! Ugh I can't bring myself to test. Iv got like 18 ic tests in the drawer that I've covered with clothes so they don't stare at me every time I open it. Still no AF tho! I'm insane, I know!

Sending good vibes to all waiting on O and in tww!!

 

[Aayla]

Bee: Congrats!!! yay!! and no test porn?? seriously bummed girl.

Richiees: Oh I am just dying to know. I know if you get a bfn it will bum you out but at some point you have to find so you can know what is going on. You are a week late now I believe.

AFM: cd 17. I took an allergy med yesterday and it dried me right up. ugh. but I don't want to drink too much water because then my pee is too diluted for opk's and I have a tiny bladder so it's hard enough for me to hold it for hours. I am hoping for a positive today or tomorrow. hubby is off today so bd won't be a problem today but tomorrow it will have to be late because he works noon to 10pm. Then he is off for a few days.

 

[BronteForever]

Raine - so glad you are ovulating. You'll get the timing worked out. Some months are so much easier than others. Good luck!

Richieesmom - oh my goodness you are late. I can imagine it's probably overwhelming regardless and you want to stay in hopeful land. But I'm amazed you have held out. That late is super promising though. Fingers crossed!

Starlight - welcome back to officially trying. Yay!

Aayla - really hope the meds work for you this month.

Bee - eeeekkk. I'm still so excited for you. You have now officially paved the way and I'm hoping to follow soon.

Les - yay for an extended or official TWW. Really hope this helps and you get a successful implantation soon. I'm excited to see more house photos and hoping you have nursery photos to share soon as well.

AFM - got my injection training today and it's getting real. Yay. But goodness you'd think they'd standardize the injections. I have 6 different meds and will be injecting between 2-4 times a day. They each have a slightly different injection process. Totally making my husband do most of it so it's his way of participating and one less worry for me.

 

[mrs unicorn]

Bronte - wow that sounds like a handful! Good idea getting DH to help out. I imagine it's quite nerve wracking. But you got this!!

Richiees - a week late?!?! How long are you going to wait till you test? I couldn't cope with the not knowing but we are all different so do whatever helps you. Xx

AFM - really confused. Had another +opk today. Not had two in a row before but I don't always do another after the first +, when I have it's always - had an increase in cm but it's thin and creamy so?!? Also as far as I know I've never od after cd13. Hmmm might have to bd again tonight, poor DH I think he's shattered!! I was so convinced I od last night as I had sharp o pains on my right for an hour, and since then nothing. Is it possible to get a + opk after ov? I'm thinking not so maybe I'm oing cd14 for the first time!

 

[Starlight288]

Hi ladies!
I know some of you have taken trips recently. Were you still TTC on these trips? We leave at the end of the month right smack in the middle of my fertile days. I think it would be the best time. I believe I conceived the last time over the NYE weekend. So maybe a vacation is the key.

 

[beemeck]

I was actively "ttc" on my trips, but mostly planned them all around my cycle but that's because I was doing IUI so needed to be home for that. I think a vacation sounds wonderful and can only do good things I'm sure!

 

[mrs unicorn]

Star - yes I'd say keep going! I actually got my bfp a week after NYE, so fertile time was over christmas, that could well have helped as we were relaxed but distracted most of the time.

 

[RichieesMom]

Good luck n have fun star!

So yesterday early morning I got up around 2am to pee n saw alil blood when I wiped. Thought there's af! But then I got up a couple more times that night to pee n nothing, not even when wiping. All day yesterday still nothing. Not even after bathroom breaks. Had major cramping n fully expected her but still nothing. If she doesn't show in the next couple of days I will definitely be testing.
