TTC #1 Hopeful and Obsessed! lol

[BlueStar89]

Ive not heard of that.....I'll head over to google now!

 

[BlueStar89]

I think I'll try that next cycle. I haven't got to the OPKs yet, though I think I might need to.

Basically you BD every other day after AF ends. Once you get your positive OPK, BD for the next 3 days, skip a day, then BD again
It maximizes the chances of his little swimmers meeting up with your egg

Thanks....I might wait a few days just to see what happens, and then I think I might need to go shopping. I don't trust that this is my month (I don't think any month will be until I finally see that extra line) but don't want to spend a load of money until I know for sure!

If you buy from Amazon, just search for clinical guard OPK or clinical guard Pregnancy tests. They are super cheap and accurate. ($10 for 50)

Good morning ladiesssss!!!!

How is everyone doing????... hoping staying encouraged! I love that i created this thread! It hasnt even been up a month and we have created some great connections on here

Im on CD11 and have been BDing every other day since CD8...trying to spread out the fun lol

Hubbie does not know when I plan to ovulate and honestly,,,, neither to I!

BUT We are relaxed and care free about it ....anybody have fun plans for the weekend?

Besides testing, BDing, charting and googling? LMAO!

Hello ladies! I'm back! I was catching up with the post. I also use the same opk and Pt from amazon. You can't go wrong. I don't count mine either.

AF is due on 4 days. I've been trying to stay away from Google while I wait. Other than that, I think I'm sick. I have a nasty cold along with period symptoms (cramping and bt). I don't feel like this is going to be my month to get a BFP. Sadly, my body is saying, period get here so I can feel better.

I am also happy you created this page!

As for when you ovulate, Babycforme, are you using the ovulation strips once or twice a day? I used mine one a day until my app said I was a few days out. Then I switched and started using them once first thing in the morning and once in the late afternoon.

I hope everybody is doing well and staying positive! Baby dust to all!

Hey girl !

I didn't use OPKs this month. I used them last month and was furious when I didn't get preggo. I got a positive and everything. BDed everyday of the fertile window. And nothing.

So I'm taking a no testing. Not tracking approach and just BDing every other day or when we get the urge. All the testing really makes me obssessed and TYPE A which doesn't help at all !


Welcome BlueStar ! Good luck this month !

hi everyone! welcome to our newest members. im on CD8 watching and waiting just checking in

Hey TJ. ! Welcome back !!!!

What approach are you taking this month ?

SMEP? BD daily during fertile week ?

NTNP?

 

[Bella12]

BabyC4me I like your new approach! I wish you the best of luck! I wish I had taken that approach this past month. I can't seem to keep myself away from googling random stuff.

Welcome bluestar!

Welcome back TJ!

 

[GoldenRatio]

Hey ladies! I can't really get on here during weekends. We are doing our landscaping, so much work(

I'm CD4 today, af ended today. Here is my game plan for this month!
SMEP as usual, gonna get back to temping and will start opks CD8.

Taking Folic acid, Vitamin D, Saw Palmetto and Metformin.
Following gluten free low carb diet, no sugar, no dairy.
Gonna focus on eating more yam and pineapple to nourish my uterus

My last cycle before doc appointment to get clomid, hopefully I will not need clomid.

 

[greenarcher]

Never heard of pineapple and yam! Neat! Best of luck, Golden!

 

[BabyC4Me]

I'm super type A , Bella. So being off google. YouTube. And my Ovia app is the best plan for me to remain relaxed.

I hope it pays off !

Queue Jeopardy Music.

Yep. That's about how I feel.

3DPO and minor cramping. Still a lot of CM. Kind of odd - but could be leftover from O day.

I don't ever read any BFP stories from Cycle #2. Always 1 or 3 or 4,5,6,7,8,9,10 and so on. I wonder why this is. Odd.

Le'waiting is boring. I wish it were easy, ya know? "Oh hey! We didn't hit the jackpot this month *summon magical powers to instantaneously activate AF".

But nooooooooooo. Instead we get to wait for two weeks. It's a step program really.

Step 1 - Decide to have a baby
Step 2 - Try to have a baby
Step 3 - Become super obsessed and excited symptom spotting every little thing.
Step 4 - Convince yourself you're pregnant.
Step 5 - Find our you're not. Pout. Cry. Wonder why it didn't happen.
Step 6 - Drink wine. Lots of wine. And some candy. Curse at AF.
Step 7 - Start a fresh new cycle more eager and prepared than before.
Step 8 - Repeat steps 1-7 but convince yourself that you're going to be more casual. Less emotional. More in charge. Eat healthier. Take more vitamins. Stick your butt into the air while doing acrobatics for no less than 30 minute after the baby dance.
Step 9 - Repeat steps 1-8 until you obtain your BFP.


I dont like step programs. I wish it were something like "do the bd with your DH 20 days in a row, do 1,000 jumping jacks and yodel from your rooftop while simultaneously balancing tomatoes and pine cones on your nose"..... THAT.... well that would be easier than the TWW.

C'est la vie. Lots of FX to all the lovely ladies in our thread.

 

[Bella12]

BabyC4me I think it will help. If nothing else it has to be better on body and brain. I'm going to try to give up Internet searches too!

Puma I agree with you. I was looking at it in levels. Level one get pregnant
Level 2 stay pregnant ( see ultrasound showing baby implanted in uterus and not tube)
Level 3 make it pay mc phase

My period is due tomorrow or Wednesday. So I'm definitely at step 4.

 

[BabyC4Me]

Puma ! Loved the step program !

Def me during this TTC phase of my late twenties.

Question !!!!!

I'm on CD 13 and my fertile week started today.

We BDed today and when I went to go wipe, it was some light pink blood in the moisture (TMI SORRY !).

The sex wasn't painful or uncomfortable at all.

Anyone know what this means ???? Possible soon-to-be ovulation ?

HELP!

Was the blood immediately or following the BD? Or later on?

loved that post puma.lol

 

[Bella12]

Now I'm at step 4.5. According to my app my period is due today. Usually my it's pretty accurate, maybe off by a day. I tested this am and got a BFN test says at this point if should be 99% accurate.

Step 4.5 when you try to convince yourself a BFN doesn't mean your definitely not pregnant and you try to keep hope alive.
