I would love to go to San Fran...maybe next time we're in california OR if there's an awesome concert worth traveling for (which there hasn't been in a while )

Sorry Goldfish

So 16dpo officially late (11day LP) big temp drop this morning but no sign of the thinking I need to discard today's temp as woke with my mouth open
What do you ladies think?

Congrats on setting a wedding date Horsey

 

[Veganlily]

Twag-your drop is not below the cover line so fx'ed it's a blip that goes back up!

Sorry goldfish-hang in there Hun!

Loving the California talk - haven't lived there but have spent a lot of time there.

Hope everyone is well...xoxo

 

[Twag]

Thanks

I have never been to California but I would love too I have been to Florida

Just got a call from the clinic, phone consultation set up for Sunday (!). Need to fill out forms and scan and send medical history tonight (no dance class for me...).
I'm kind of getting really nervous right now....

 

[Goldfish]

Horsey - so exciting about setting the wedding date! Congrats!

Twag that's 2 cycles you've had a longer than usual LP? Maybe your LP is getting longer (that could be a good thing?)

Auca - every step is a step forward to getting that baby!!

Good news, today I managed to move my fertility appt up by 1 week! I know it doesn't seem like much difference but every day helps

 

[horseypants]

no need to be nervous auca, it will be such a relief to have someone on the case! twag, california welcomes you any time! yay goldfish, for the earlier appointment.

 

[luna_19]

AuCa I was really nervous about seeing a specialist at first but he really made me feel so much better about everything. Having a plan is so much better than waiting and wondering

twag, I was thinking the same thing about your lp

Goldfish that's great news!

Afm having minimal side effects so far

 

[Twag]

GL Auca I would be nervous too but all moving in the right direction

Well as you ladies can see AF got me but on a good side seems my LP has leghtened nicely I think it is because I am gluten free so missing out on some vital vitamins so the last 2 months been taking prenatals & changed my diet to include lots of protein etc more balanced which I think has helped my LP

So we are taking a break for cycle 6 and then starting again cycle 7 when we have moved into our new house in Beginning of March

Glad you are having minimal side effects Luna

ladies

 

[Veganlily]

twag and your plans sound really good. I'm also gluten free and feel so much better this way.

Good luck everyone!

 

[Twag]

Reading back I do not think I was clear I am a coeliac found out 7 years ago so I have not had gluten in 7 years and my LP has been 11 days with light AF but I recently saw a nutrinist and got a new balanced diet to eat and also started taking prenatals so I am now for the last 2 months getting the right nutrients & vitamins & minerals and I think that is why my LP had lengthened and also AF is heavier

I think the LP and AF are all good steps towards me being able to hold a pregnancy better

Good Luck Ladies

 

[AuCa]

Sorry about AF Twag I also think your plan sounds really great, and I'm sure a healthy diet will be great (for many things, not just your LP, lol). And good luck with the move! Hope it won't be too stressful

Horsey - omg, I had totally missed the post where you said that you set your wedding date. That's so exciting!
I like San Francisco too, and California altogether! We actually spent Christmas in Lake Tahoe, I truly love that place!

Goldfish - good to hear that you managed to change your specialist appointment

Luna - yay for no side effects!

AFM - sent out all the documents to the doc yesterday so he can prepare for the consultation on Sunday. You're all right, it will definitely be good do have some sort of plan/idea of how to proceed. I'm still freaked out a bit though, and I don't even know why to be honest . I think it's all just overwhelming, and half of the time I don't actually know what to think or feel about it, so I'm just constantly confused, lol.

 

[Twag]

Auca today was one day closer to your future lo

 

[Veganlily]

Auca - girl I totally relate to all that you wrote! Just wanted to chime in with that. I'm even questioning whether I want kids and how far I'm willing to go to try...

 

[AuCa]

Glad to hear that someone else is as confused as I am. Sometimes I get the feeling that the majority of people are just totally driven by their goal (to have children, no matter how). But maybe that's a total misconception....

And not only do you have to figure out how far you want to go yourself, but then there is also a partner involved, which makes it so much harder (how high are the chances that both will want the exact same??).

I totally get it Lily - I've been questioning this too, but DH is very much set on the idea to have biological children, which doesn't leave much room for options right now.

Hi ladies, I feel that there's so much happening around here!

AuCa-it's totally understandable that you're confused. Things have changed so fast for you that how can you process it all by now?! I hope the phone appointment goes well Sunday, keep us posted!

Horsey-congrats on setting your wedding date! For my 30th bday I went to SanFran and had a great time!

Twag - sorry AF showed....

Goldfish - one week closer, yay!

luna-good to hear yo're feeling good.

veganlilly - i hope you caught that eggy!

AFM, I've been reading about TCC'ing. I found a book and that I highly recommend: "The Impatient Woman's Guide to Getting Pregnant" (USD7.00 on Kindle). I thought that given my screen name here this book was for me!! (LOL).
It's written by a psychologist who looked at medical research and put all we need to know about getting pregnant in one book, which I thought was awesome so that I don't have to spend hours on the internet (though I've already done that...). Also, she's funny and as the title suggests she looked up medical articles that show scientifically how some vitamins and practices can help us get pregnant faster. I went online and bought all the things she listed on the "fertility registry".
I really liked the tone of the book, the funny and silly jokes and that it was all based on scientific research. At the end she recommends a few other books and I've purchased. After 6 months TCC'ing this is just what I needed to keep me going...I hope it also helps some of you go through this journey!

auca, twag and veganlily
...
hi zero patience! just saw your post

 

[Twag]

Thanks zero I am in the uk but I am going to look his up now on my kindle app

 

[bakingbabe]

Hi ladies!
I've been reading but not posting
Thought I'd pop in and tell you all that my mom up and asked me this week if I was pregnant! My bff said her mom did that to her and she ended up pregnant so maybe it was her way of telling me to be positive!

I guess we'll know soon enough, this weekend should give us some answers either way.
