TTC #1 Hopeful and Obsessed! lol

[BelleNuit]

Thanks Baby C! I'm definitely going to try to keep myself occupied

 

[GoldenRatio]

BabyC we had names before we got married hehe, but trying to stay cool because DH thinks i will go into great depression if we get too excited and plan too much and end p losing.

Ugh so annoying, how i waited so long for this and i cant even get excited because of the fear of losing it.

 

[BelleNuit]

That's just part of the process Golden. Sounds like you aren't having any signs of miscarriage so just try to enjoy where you are at. All of us would love to be in your position, even if it meant our worries shifted from typical ttc worries to pregnancy worries.

What she said ^^ would love those worries try to enjoy it love!

Puma, are you using the digital OPK and a regular OPK? I see you got peak fertility two days in a row before FF gave you cross hairs. Maybe the regular OPK is just wonky?

 

[GoldenRatio]

Im trying to enjoy but cant stop worrying lol

Btw my app says that baby will get a heart beat as early as in 5 weeks, i will be 5 weeks 5 days on our anniversary. I wish we could get an early scan and hear the heart beat that day. Too bad there is no private scan option in Canada.

Belle ur chart looks great! thats a implantation dip for sure. Most ppl dont believe in implantation dip but i had a dip 3 days before my positive so im a believer now

 

[BelleNuit]

I will probably feel the same golden once I get there! Miscarriage is truly terrifying, especially considering how long we have all been trying! I imagine it will be a relief to hear that heartbeat!

I'm definitely hoping its an implantation dip! But not going to let myself get too excited. My triphasic chart last month was a huge let down haha. Still not planning to test early!

 

[BabyC4Me]

I think every mom has a fear of miscarrying her baby. It's becuZ we will always take responsibility for that loss and feel guilty becuz of it.

It's a lot of weight on your shoulders when you get that BLAZING BFP. But you should take the time to enjoy this moment. Embrace the idea of creating a full blown human in your belly ! It's an amazing thing when you sit down and really think about how In sync your muscles & organs must be !

Golden I don't know about you. But I would be smiling ear to ear knowing that I am keeping this secret from the rest of the world. Not every woman can bear a child. So walk with pride and go shopping for that little lemon head baby! Lol

Golden, imagine when u have the last laugh lol...try to keep yourself happy and stress free. Have fun girl! you're preggers!!!! dont waste time on those negative people.

Baby C i hope u are getting all the DB in. its day 13. no time to lose! i felt a pang of sadness when i realise i may be ovulating tomorrow and it will be a wasted egg. sigh...but im just gonna take it out my mind.

everybody seems to be going quite well Good luck with all your charting etc

my interview went well. i was stumped on a couple questions but i wasnt nervous so i think i did well. will see what happens.

 

[BabyC4Me]

Tj glad to hear that about your interview ! I'm sure that you will be hearing something soon. Did they give you any feedback on when you should hear a yes or no ?

And yup! I BDed yesterday and today. 2/2 fertile days so far have been met with BD. So I'm feeling okay. Not confident. But okay. There still is no guarantee that conception happens. So many things to factor in !

Next month will be your month Tj. I forgot why you are taking a break

 

[BelleNuit]

TJ it sounds like your interview went well then! I think it's perfectly normal to be stumped on a couple questions! I'm sorry that you have to WTT for this month!

If we don't conceive by August we'll have to skip that month because DH is going on a long hiking trip right during my fertile days! OOPS! Bad timing! I totally thought that we'd be pregnant by then! (and still hoping I will be!)

BabyC 2/2 fertile days sounds pretty good so far! TTC is such a crap shoot most times anyway.... some people conceive only BDing once and others can try for 6+ days in a row and nothing!

I used the digital OPK's until I ran out (there are spendy!) - I use the regular ones this morning. My first thought was that somehow maybe it was wonky - but I took a second OPK and it gave me the same results. I'm so horribly confused. I'm going on 5 days of BLAZING positive OPK's. Supposedly, you ovulate 12-36 hours after your first OPK. Who knows. I don't like it though!

I attached the picture I took of them today which speaks for itself. I don't get it.

Woohoo!!!!! Awesome and congrats! I'm excited to hear if you got it! Fingers crossed for you!

 

[greenarcher]

Wow yea those are very positive. How odd!

Ugh I am having the worst cramps tonight. I'm only 1 dpo. Anyone else get these this early in tww? I think maybe I have a stomach bug...

Yes! Even the digital when I pulled the sticks out. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks it's abnormal at this point!

 

[BabyC4Me]

Maybe you are having a weird surge and its lasting a long time. Cuz both testing methods (digital and paper strips) couldn't have been wonky at the same time. Unless ...they were ???

Just to drive you up a wall ! And your BD schedule has been going fine.

As long as you are getting it in .....you are gonna hurt that time frame eventually.

Everything else after that is out of your control missy !

 

[BabyC4Me]

HAPPY BIRFFFFFF DAY Z!!!!!!

I hope you and Hubbie have big plans today or this weekend. !

 

[BelleNuit]

Puma, 5 + OPKs like that! Hola!! I'm not sure what to make of that. Although I have heard with OPKs that you ovulate 24-36 hours after the FIRST positive, otherwise its just the LH leaving your system that the OPKs keep picking up. With your temp jump again today I'd say that you have probably O'd, its just tough to pinpoint when! Might be more clear in a few days with a few more temps.

 

[mnelson815]

Hey Puma,

I was researching the multiple positive opks a couple weeks ago and found quite a few sources that said that it can mean that the surge is there trying to get your ovary to ovulate, but for some reason it just isn't happening. So then it tries again the next day, and so on. Sometimes the eggs are a little sticky trying to get their way out. Some people say just to stop testing after the first positive, but I am way too curious for that so I test until I get a negative, that way I know for sure that it finally worked. If you haven't got the temp spike yet, then I might keep bding until it goes negative or you get the spike. Hope this helps!

Hey There Nelsonnnnn!!!!

Thanks for that information, thats pretty interesting to think about.

Our bodies are extremely complicated and when we think we have something figured out

BAM!

a monkey wrench gets thrown into the pot. smh...

I dont remember seeing you on the thread before....

Could you tell us a bit about yourself if you want???

no pressure...but we are a loving group that has been tight since March/April..so trust me you are in the right thread!!!!


hope to see you more often!
