TTC #1- Looking for buddies!

[tbfromlv]

Amber- hopefully you don’t actually get full blown morning sickness! That would be nice. That is strange about the ab thing!

Steph-how are you feeling? Any twinges or pulling or anything?

Afm it’s looking like I actually did O. So there’s that. No feeling too confident considering it wasn’t until Cd 31 or 32 oh well.

Dream- how are you doiNg? Looks like your temps are trying to go back to normal

 

[steph1607]

Fingers crossed for you TB, O is O whenever it happens I guess! If this cycle doesn’t work out, when would you start BCP?

Amber I guess you have all sorts going on inside you right now so nosy weird pains and twinges are probably ‘normal’! Glad to hear you don’t have any terrible morning sickness. When is your due date?

I’m feeling good, I thought I had some period type cramping this morning, but to be honest it could have been hunger or just in my mind! Not really sure what other symptoms I could expect. My pregnancy tests haven’t dispatched yet which is most likely a good thing!

 

[Dream143r]

TB - an egg is an egg right? A little late, but looks like you got some well timed BDs in there. FX

Steph - I'm literally edge of my seat for your tests. Eeeek!

My temps come down a bit, closer to normal for this phase of my cycle. Which i'm happy about. Plan to use Pre-seed throughout this fertile window coming up. I knwo it balances your PH levels to help the spemies out. Which I now know is important for me since my uric acid levels are so high.

 

[CTgirl]

Hi guys! So nice to read all your news.

Steph, so excited for you!

I just needed to come on here and tell my virtual friends how sad I am. My cat, who is my first baby and still acts like it, is very sick. She's only 8 but is in kidney failure. The one has completely failed and the other one is busy failing. She has a week to 6 months to live, but we need to monitor her and as soon as we notice she's in pain, we will take her to be put down. I haven't stopped crying since Thursday when we found out, and am actually being put on anxiety meds for it from today because I'm really not coping and my family and friends are worried about the baby. I know some people see pets as just pets, but they're my family. I'm so heartbroken and completely devastated.

 

[tbfromlv]

Dream- you are right! And I got my crosshairs today so that’s good. I didn’t now pre-seed could help with UA- that is interesting.

CT- I’m so sorry to hear that. And I understand, pets are family. It is really hard to lose one. my last dog developed a rapid growing heart tumor and was fine one day and within a matter of three days, she was gone and I was heartbroken for quite some time. Just love on your fur baby as much as you can.

 

[SunnyBe]

Just a quick one as work is crazy right now...

Ct I'm so sorry to hear about your cat. I completely understand how pets are part of your family and it feels like you're losing part of it. I hope she stays pain free for a long time to come. There's nothing worse than saying goodbye. Take care

 

[Dream143r]

CT - I completely understand. My siamese, Guess Marciano is the love of my life (don't tell my hubby). He's literally my first born son, he believes that I birthed him. I hope your cat makes it 6 months and beyond pain free. Or a least long enough to meet the new human baby coming soon.

Yea the pre-seed doesn't adjust your acidity levels or anything. It just gives the sperm an alkaline environment. So a better shot at my body not killing them all.

 

[AmberR]

CT- I am so sorry! I know how it feels to have animals that are family. I hope you get some time to spend with your sweet cat and that she won't be in pain.

Steph- only 2 days until testing! How are you feeling? My due date is Sept 12th.

Dream- hope the pre-seed does the trick. I have heard good things about it!

Tb- Yay for crosshairs!!

I've been battling this cold my DH so lovingly gave to me! Cough, congestion and sore throat. And I can't really take anything for it! Hope it passes soon! I'm supossed to work the next couple days but might have to take some time off and this is just making me feel twice as bad!

 

[steph1607]

I'm sorry CT, animals mean so much to us don't they? They truly become part of the family

Hope your cold goes soon Amber. Oooh a September baby, the most popular birth month I believe?

Nothing to report over here. No symptoms of note I don't think. Hoping my tests come today so I can test tomorrow morning! Oh I forgot to mention on Saturday, none of our remaining embryos made it to be refrozen which is sad.

 

[Dream143r]

I can't remember which of you recommended it but I watched One More Shot on Netflix yesterday evening and cried the whole time. Although heartbreaking at times I really enjoyed it. I don't know a lot about IVF so it was pretty informative for me as well in case we have to go that route maybe one day in the future.

Do you guys celebrate Valentine's Day? Any plans with your hubbies?

Not much to report with my cycle, O should be coming up by the end of this week.

Steph - sometimes I feel like no symptoms is a good thing.

 

[steph1607]

I think it was Sunny who recommended it Dream - I'm not sure if we have it on UK Netflix, but if we do I will watch it after I know whether or not this FET has worked I think!

We have never celebrated Valentine's Day really. We are going to the theatre tonight though so maybe we can pretend that's for Valentine's Day! Do you have plans?

 

[tbfromlv]

Yeah sunny recommended it and I watched too. I cried the whole time.

We don’t do Valentines gifts or anything just usually a nice date night in (since the rest of the world goes out!)

Steph I can’t wait for you to test!!

 

[SunnyBe]

Soooo, where were we!

Steph, sorry the other two didn't make it to blast. The period-like cramping of a couple of days ago sounds pretty promising to me!! Pleasseeee take into account that the line on cheopo tests (in case they're those flimsy ones that we call internet cheapies ) often show up after the 3-5 minute mark. So don't throw them out if you don't see anything within the first minute or so. Will you test tomorrow? And remember it's still early so there's plenty of time. I can't express how much I want this to work Steph. I feel I need this to make me believe all of this is still possible. Do it for me

Dream/Tb, ahhh you saw it? Best IVF documentary I've seen so far. Even for those who don't go through IVF. Good luck with Pre-seed. I'm sure you've already read all the wonderful reviews about it.

Ct, how are you doing? I'm so sorry!

Tb, thanks for the progesterone info btw. I got it filled (and yup, they're RED!!!). Beautiful temp rise. I remember that my cycle has followed yours in the past, and I'm thinking it's happening again. Had a couple of really dark (but maybe not dark enough?) OPK's the last couple of days but no temp rise. I hate being in limbo!

Amber, ahh no! I hope you'll feel better soon

V-day, is usually a nice and quiet date night in for us too. I kinda forgot we're almost half-way through February already. Wow.

 

[tbfromlv]

Sunny idk what’s up with the red pills. So messed up lol! I remember your cycle following mine.. I hate limbo too! Hopefully you O soon! What CD are you now?

Steph- I second what sunny said- those ICs need more like 10 minutes. I could barely get mine to show up even when I was getting positive tests but amber seemed to have no problem! I am hoping and praying hard for you!! Is it tomorrow yet?!

 

[AmberR]

Steph- so sorry the other embies didn't make it. Can't wait to see your test!

Tb- nice temp rise! When will you be testing?

Sunny- hope O day is soon for you!

I will be spending v-day on the couch due to this horrible cold! I never realized how horrible colds are when you aren't able to take any of the usual cold meds! There are some that I'm allowed to take but I'm too paranoid... I'd rather suffer a few days than risk it!

 

[steph1607]

Okay, so there was definitely nothing within the time limit, but then I saw your messages and went back to it 90 minutes later and there was something there. Not really sure what to think now!

 

[CTgirl]

Steph, can you get a digi? Mine also didn't show up in the time limit the first time

 

[steph1607]

In Tesco as we speak! Although by the time I get home tonight my pee will be really diluted!

 

[CTgirl]

Yay! Well I took my first test with diluted urine and it barely showed after 10 minutes. But then I held it for 2 hours and didn't drink anything and it showed on the next one - and then the digi worked in the afternoon. Holding thumbs for you!

 

[steph1607]

Okay I got a pack of two digitalis and a pack of two normal ones. Will try to not drink for the last couple of hours at work. Still only 5dp5dt transfer though so not sure which one to use!
