Ttc #1 baby would love a buddy

[swimmyj1]

I've heard a lot of concerning things about fertilaid for women, so I didn't do that. I guess if you have regular cycles it can really mess them up. I ended up taking a lot of vitamins (example if you have a vit D deficiency which i do, that can make it harder to conceive). We did put my DH on fertilaid though and I think that is a big reason we got pregnant.

Also my lines are much darker today on my wondfo's so really hoping when they call tomorrow my labs are above 400. Idk why but I'm telling myself if they are not it just isn't viable and I should stop. (tomorrow is going to be a long wait lol)

Yeah willow I've heard good and bad about it also. I haven't took it either because I just didn't want to mess anything up either.

Can't wait to hear if the bean is snuggled in tight tomorrow!! Let us know!

Well we bd last night and tonight it's on the list We are going tomorrow too and then switching to every other day until cd25 or so. We've never done that but I'm trying to have all my bases covered. Usually my cycle is around 35 days (give or take) so I figure by cd 25 I should have O'd by then. I'm not testing until I'm late this cycle. After my cp last month I won't be able to handle that again.

 

[swimmyj1]

Doubled again 424 this time. Still worried sense they are so low, idk i didn't ovulate till cd17 and hoping I just implanted late. My ultrasound is in 1 week but should I push it back sense they might not be able to even see anything yet??

Hey All!
I'm (literally) new to the forum as of today! and I would love to find someone in a similar situation! I am 19, currently engaged, trying for baby #1. DH is 22 and we are very excited!

Today, i am 20 DPO, on CD 32. AF is four days late!!! Yay!
However, I tested at 17DPO and got bfn...
no sign of AF coming anytime soon ( I always feel it coming); however, I am concerned about getting bfn so late in cycle! (from CB digital)

Anyways!
Would love to meet someone in my position to keep up with!

Hi everyone! I'm new to BNB and I've been TTC for only about 3 months now! got bloodwork done last week and everything seems normal, so hopefully soon! I have a weird cycle though, like i get a period every second month on the 21st, so it's strange! but im hopeful itll happen soon oh and im 22!

 

[Brandy_R]

Swimmy that's soooo awesome about your hcg! Honestly from what I've read it needs to be around 1,000 to be able to see anything. You should be about 6 weeks when your u/s is? I know the heart starts beating around 6 weeks but it could take almost 7. I know personally when I am in your shoes I'm going to wait until around 7 just because I will freak out if I go and there's no heartbeat. My friend went at 6 weeks almost exactly and they found her heartbeat so it just depends on the bean. I'm soooo happy for you about the hcg! Giving us PCOS people some hope

Welcome Johns and mama! I hope your stay here is short and you both get your bfp soon. Most of us have been here for like 8 months but we all have PCOS so that's probably why. Baby dust ladies

 

[swimmyj1]

Welcome ladies are you guys tracking ovulation at all?

I think I will be around 6 week 2 days?? So maybe I will see something. My DH doesnt want to push it back (he is like wayyy to excited) my friend is an ultrasound tech and said your levels need to be 1500 to see anything. If they double every 48 I should be just above that. Because I'm crazy obsessed I think I will still get my betas checked Monday or Tuesday lol

 

[mama10893]

thanks for the welcome i've tried using OPKs but my cycle is weird so im still trying to get to know my body! i randomly went 7 months with no period last year and now they are every second month to the day so im glad theyre regular now, but still weird! 8 months of this now though so i think its my new normal! everything ive read says i probably ovulate around day 40-45, so i think thats around the first week of september, although i had some symptoms of ovulation last week so its just so hard to tell! my last af was on july 21, so my next one is due sept 21! heres hoping it doesnt show up!

 

[willowtree24]

I'm so excited for you swimmyj !! That's brilliant news about your hcg ! I have heard the same 6 to 7 weeks for the heartbeat. Not sure what would happen I don't think we get a choice over here they just book you in when they can. It would be nice to go and be able to hear thw heart beat though. Defiantly reassuring as well. I'm nit going to take any pills like fertilaid I don't want to start taking all this and for something to be wrong ect prevent me from ttc. I know what you mean brandy I am posative me and you will have our wonderful bfps soon !! Pcos or not we can do this. I've been having dreams about babies again one wad heartbreaking. Anyhoo don't know if I will be able to ttc this month as DH is poorly can't go jumping on him lol.

Welcome to John's and mama to the thread hope you get your bfps soon.

 

[jjohns50]

Good luck with your ultrasound!!!
I am tracking ovulation but only by symptoms not temping yet. If I do get AF i will try temping this next time around! Anyone think it's possible to be this late and still be getting all BFN???

My cousin has PCOS and has had a lot of issues with it. I'm kind of on the other end, with endo. My Laparoscopy has been extremely delayed (thank you ins. co) So there isn't a 100% diag. but both my reg OB and pelvic pain specialist believe it to be Endo & IC.

Good luck to you all! I know how frustrating it is to live with health issues that can't be easily resolved.

 

[swimmyj1]

A few times I was almost a week late and still bfn it's so frusterating when that happens. If you don't get it by next week I would call ur doctor.

I keep going back and forth between feeling excited like this will all work out for the best then back to freaking out that my hcg levels are on the low end. I'll probably just get them redrawn Monday evening just to see if there is any hope to see anything Thursday.

I'm sorry I'm sure I'm driving u guys nuts with my complaining. I just have this bad feeling this isn't my sticky bean and I can't shake it

 

[Brandy_R]

I'm sorry Swimmy. You aren't driving us nuts. I was the same way in Feb but I knew mine was bad pretty quick. When's your u/s again? I would go again just for your own peace of mind keep your chin up

I started temping this morning. Found out the opks are giving me false positives so hopefully this week I will have a confirmed O or find out I'm not o'ing on my own. Either way is fine with me honestly. I would be surprised if I could on my own anyways.

 

[willowtree24]

Thanks jjohns I can't wait for it need to know what's happening. And I've only just found out I have pcos recently. But thw ladies on here have been telling me more about it.
False positives brandy ? That's misleading ! I haven't taken any again.
Swimmy that's what we're here for
Your bound to have some ups and downs but we are here for you. I think this is your sticky bean and sending lots of dust and posative thoughts !! I'm still not very well so I think that could be another big factor of me nit getting pregnant. Does anybody know why you can't get pregnant if your poorly or down?

 

[jjohns50]

Willowtree, I'm obviously not a doctor! haha, but I do believe a lot of it has to do with being sick can in some cases cause hormone imbalances. I think the best thing to do to prepare yourself to TTC is to have a balanced exercise routine & diet. I'm sure the bump has a good article on a few good starting steps if you don't have a routine already! Let us know how it goes!!

As for me, I am calling my doctor. I am now at CD 35 (7 -going to be 8- days late) and still no BFP or AF. Last time I tested, friday, still . I am calling my OB tomorrow! I can't decide if I think it's still possible, or counting myself out for the month...

Good luck to all in the meantime!!!!

 

[Brandy_R]

Good luck Johns! Hope you get an answer soon!

Yeah pcos causes false positive opks if your lh is high. Didn't know that until we started trying all this on our own. I stated temping and my temps are still low so that means it hasn't happened yet even though I've had pos opks. Hoping the real O will be sometime this week

How's your cycle going Willow? Did you O yet?

Def let us know how the blood test goes Swimmy!

 

[mama10893]

hey guys! so we've been bd'ing every second day! i think for now i just need to stick with that until i learn more about what my body is doing! and since my cycle is so long i have to wait until sept 21 to test cause thats when af is due😩 im dying to know hahaha however ive had very sensitive nipples the past couple days! and i just feel kinda sore and rundown, which could maybe be symptoms of ovulating or pregnancy! i was stupid and did a test last night and of course got a BFN cause it was way too early😂 ive had a good feeling about this cycle though, so really hoping it's the one! wish me luck ladies😘

 

[Brandy_R]

Good luck mama! It's hard to know with long cycles. Every other day is good! That was our plan until dh got sick.

 

[swimmyj1]

Beta only went up to 803 in 4-5 days no way this is viable and even though I've been telling myself that all along im a reck. Ugh I just want to stop the progesterone but they want a repeate hcg Wednesday whats the point!?!

 

[Brandy_R]

Oh Swimmy I'm sorry it didn't go good. I was thinking you were almost out of the woods. I wonder why it keeps rising and not lowering though. So Friday it was 400 and today was the 803?

 

[swimmyj1]

Wednesday it was 424 Monday 803. Just stinks! I cried a ton but decided that was a waste of energy and I was just making myself feel worse. Time to move past it, hope I won't need a d&c and go from there.
