TTC #1 Hopeful and Obsessed! lol

[TJ Islander]

If you must resort to Plan B, please please record it. I must see this! Tell him that Puma said that he has to and If he doesn't I will hang him upside down by his toes with piano wire and pour hot sauce up his nose.

OMG! how did u come up with that!! i wish u lived close by, i would take u with me as Plan C

Ah cant wait for tom Im gonna be CD23 on my birthday so lets hope i ovulate early and get bfp on my bday, otherwise im gonna be so miserable entering 28

Mom was praying yesterday and i asked hubby as a joke if he would like anything from god, he said just a baby seeing DH like that makes me sad.

Had my appointment today, my hormones are almost back to normal. Doctor thinks in two months I won't have any unbalanced hormone! So he didn't wanna give me clomid since he thinks I will be normal soon. But I insisted and got my clomid.

Can't wait to try it this cycle!

How u ladies doing? Any ovulation?

 

[greenarcher]

I think I'm getting close. Nice slippy, watery CM yesterday, which is as good as it gets for me. Hoping OPK will show positive when I get home tonight to test.

 

[BelleNuit]

3 dpo for me... not much going on lol

Hoooooray!!!!! I am so excited to hear this awesome news!!!! I'm glad I don't have to kick someone's butt for you to get the meds you need!!!!

Now you can really jumpstart this baby making process!

 

[puma1986]

Well, it appears I have a positive OPK this evening! Took a digital because I noticed a good amount of ewcm. I swear the pos opk that I thought I had on the 9th is darker though! But I know I can't ovulate twice. Seriously confused. What do you guys think?

So excited for you puma! Cd9 does look dark but I heard that u can have multiple LH surge in one cycle, so probably u will be ovulating today or tomorrow. So keep BDing!!

If this clomid works then I'm gonna test on my bday woohoo

great new all round it seems good luck to everyone!!

Im at CD8, waiting to ovulate. did some stuff this morning....those sperms wont last til next week tho. im taking it soooo easy this month. im just gonna have sex whenever i can but try to make sure i definately do it from monday to thursay next week when im supposed to ovulate.

i plan to take my tww sooo easy...fingers crossed lol.... guys im really not trying to sweat it this month. i want to keep my emotions neutral, no symptom watching, no googling, no crying, no daydreaming..NOTHING!!! i want to forget abt it all and then get a huge surprise at the end. will see how it goes!!

I'm glad you guys seem to be having luck in your journeys. Good luck ladies. Golden I hope the clomid gives you that extra push to get you that baby that you deserve. I haven't been on as much because the tww kills me. I try super hard not to think about it.

I'm coming on today for 2 reasons. First to share that my friend worth PCOS said cinnamon and honey helps with fertility. It's also supposed to help those with endometriosis I believe.

Second, I have a question. My period is due Tuesday. Again, a BFN on frer. So this is where it gets complicated. ...warning. ...tmi....I had diarrhea/soft stool on Friday and today I pooped out mucus all by itself. A teaspoon worth. I'm worried because a year and a half ago I almost died from c-dif because the strain was unresponsive to antibiotic treatment. I only survived because of an experimental treatment. I don't have any of the same signs as when I was sick(watery diarrhea, severe cramping, fever etc.) Do you think I could be sick again with cdif or could this just be related to my period? I'm just panicking. I want a baby so bad. I was told odds are against me due to adhesionscar and scar tissue and due to irritable bowel syndrome.

I also have decided to go get my tubes checked out by doctor. I didn't want to initially.

Baby dust to all of you in your fertile week and to those who are almost to their fetile week.

Look up ulcerative colitis or crohns. My husband has UC and it causes that. May not be, hard to say. But worth asking about.

 

[Bella12]

My most recent blood work suggests that I have crohn's disease. The only time I had this was when I was I really sick and they then it was determined that I had cdif. So if makes me think something is out of balance in my body.

 

[greenarcher]

Sorry to hear, Bella. It doesn't sound like cdiff again, thank goodness. Try not to worry love, but maybe go see a doctor just in case. Crohn's is not fun, but when the alternative is cdiff, I hope it's just crohns :/

Golden, yay birthday testing!!

Puma, I'd agree looks like you had two surges. Have you been monitoring CM?

TJ, taking it easy sounds like the best idea I'd love to forget about ttc too.

AFM, I actually have a lot of questions for you ladies. I got watery cm thursday, a pos OPK on Friday, a yeast infection saturday and today, and EWCM today! I think maybe the EWCM may have been due to the yeast infection? Like the irritation caused more fluid to be produced down there? Temps are inconclusive. No idea when (if) I've O'd.

Anyone have experience with TTC with a yeast infection?

Thanks

 

[Bella12]

Puma, when your husband has mucus, does that usually signify a problem?

Greenacher, I don't think it will affect your ability to conceive. It might be harder to be in the mood if you are uncomfortable down there. I've never tried with a yeast infection. Good luck! I'm sure you'll be able to make it happen. How does your your other half feel about it?

 

[greenarcher]

He's kind of grossed out, since we learned about it while trying to BD yesterday. Other than BD on Thursday, we don't have great coverage this month :/ I wish I had a better idea of when O was/is.

I'm not sure what is worse. My dad has crohn's disease and has numerous surgeries to help him deal with it. It also is hard to conceive when you have it according to statistics. Most people can recover from cdif with antibiotics. I just got a rare strain.

I'm going to keep trying. I have a new plan for my next cycle. Anyone have any suggestions for hown to conceive with intestinal flare up?

Maybe a shower immediately before will make him more into the mood. I think my last one clearned up pretty quick. Any odds of one more bd after or will it be too late for fertile window?

Bella, Yes it does. I am typing what he is saying...

"The best thing to do is to switch to a very limited and simple diet *BRAT* Banana, Rice, AppleSauce, and Toast. Keep a journal. Don't drink any pop or juice. Only water - but if you must have coffee, only black coffee. The most important thing is to keep a journal of everything you eat and drink and to keep it simple for two weeks. The frequency also will tell whether you are more likely to have crohns or ulcerative colitis. Auto immune diseases ARE passed down, so since your Dad has it, you definitely need to talk to a gastro as soon as you can".

Hopefully that helps lady. He's suffered with UC for 10 years so he has a lot of knowledge he could extend your way if needed.

 

[Bella12]

Thanks for the info. It does help. While I don't want to think about there being an issue, it is good to know that something is up. It's just not fun.

Good luck ladies. Regardless of what life hands us. We will get there. I'm think I might go to bed early and dream of my future baby. Lol
