TTC #1- Looking for buddies!

[AmberR]

Tb- 3 LH rises must be so frustrating! Hope you get a nice temp rise tomorrow!

 

[jmack54]

Thanks girls. Honestly even just being able to talk about it and vent on here already calmed me down! My appointment is on Thursday so I'll give an update then. In the meantime this is the longest cycle I've ever had so praying for a miracle BFP!

 

[tbfromlv]

Amber it totally is! I will just keep bd up every other day but sheesh!

Jmack have you tested?? FXd!!

 

[jmack54]

I did and it was a BFN but I did it this afternoon. It was FRER but I did it at like 1pm with only about an hour hold. My temp was higher today than it has ever been CD 25 and my boobs are both super sore which is really unusual for me. Definitely feeling like this could be it but after seeing a stark white BFN you get a really big reality check! I was just so excited when my temp was still high today!

Ah tb- your LH surges! Come on!! Well lots of BD for you! Is that common for you to have multiple surges?

 

[tbfromlv]

Oh that’s exciting! I hope this is it for you! Will you test tomorrow with fmu?

No multiple LH surges are not normal for me. Last cycle I did have two and that was the first time it ever happened but I did Concieve. So it’s not necessarily BAD but it sure makes it frustrating.

 

[Dream143r]

Amber - Happy 17 weeks! Again, your baby is giving me cravings. French friessssss, yummmmm. I can't remember if I made a guess before but now I'm thinking it's a girl.

jmack54 - hope the longer cycle is a good sign. Also FX you get some good news from your doc tomorrow.

TB - Are your positive OPKs blazers? I can't even wrap my head around all these surges and no rise yet. Grrr

AFM - CD29/13DPO - I refused to test this morning. Temp is still up. Chart looks great, don't mean to brag but my chart always looks great so that's pretty much irrelevant. lol Had an awesome workout this morning, all cardio. Back down to my pre-easter 3 day binger weight. heehee. AF due Friday, I had some usual pre-AF cramps yesterday. None today so far.

 

[tbfromlv]

Very strong of you dream. I hope your AF never shows!

I’ve had a few blazers just like the one I posted but most of them were very obvious positive but more like equal to the control line. Plus I had the crazy amount of ewcm. I’m so so so frustrated and annoyed!

Amber aww French fries? Are you starting to grow an itty bitty bump yet?

 

[SunnyBe]

Jmack, Tb is absolutely right. It's high-ish but not crazy high. It means that it's more difficult for you to get pregnant, which I'm sure you've noticed by now No need to worry hun Hope your consult goes well tomorrow!!

Tb, I hope that with this cycle being so different, the outcome will be different too! Oh and I called my pharmacy and asked if they offered any generic Prometrium pills that weren't red. They said they could special order something called "Virtus". Thought I'd mention it in case you're getting sick of those red ones (that I hope you'll be starting soon!).

Dream, I agree, your chart always looks amazing! So you stopped testing and are just waiting for AF? I hate seeing BFN's so I get it.

 

[jmack54]

You girls are the best and successfully prevented me from having an anxiety attack! My appointment is tomorrow. Haven't started my period yet which is unusual for me but took another FRER w FMU and got a BFN.

Tb hopefully this will be another good cycle for you!! Fingers crossed! Thanks for all your kind words.

Dream- Still looking good! How are you feeling? I don't blame you at all for not testing. I usually don't and 2 BFNs later I wish I hadn't!

 

[SarahTTC3]

Thinking of everyone today! How is everyone doing? Any news this afternoon?

AFM- OPKs arrived yesterday. AF still hasn't showed up. Should have started yesterday or today. Thinking the Cryotherapy messed with it. If it hasn't arrived I'll be testing this weekend. I doubt anything happened with everything that went on and us being careful. We will see how these next few days go.

 

[tbfromlv]

Sunny- Oh dang!! I just picked up my new set of red pills the other day (I was SURE I would ovulate after that blazing positive!) next time I guess.

Jmack- dang! Well we all know it’s not over until she shows.

Sarah- I hope she comes soon! Lol so weird saying you want it to stay away to some people and then wishing for her in this case!

 

[SarahTTC3]

TB- What are red pills?


And it is weird to hope she shows up. This will be the last time I hope she makes her appearance.

 

[AmberR]

Thanks for the guess dream! So far I'm thinking it's a boy but I have no idea what that guess is based off of. Haha. My BFFs 7 yr old daughter told me I need to have a girl. I tried to explain to her that I have no control over it but she wasn't buying it

Sunny- how are you feeling? Will you be getting another beta?

Jmack- sorry about the BFN but you're not out yet!! I hope your appt tomorrow goes well!

Sarah- hope AF shows up soon so you can move on to the next cycle!

 

[Dream143r]

SarahTTC3 - Yay for OPKs. Let the POAS begin. If you're thinking you're likely not preggo I'm hoping for CD1 to come around quick so you can get down to business.

TB - No way?! Your OPK is positive again? WTF is going on???

Jmack - good luck with everything today!

AFM CD30 and 14DPO: Temp still hanging decently well. I didn't test yesterday or today. AF is due tomorrow. The only way I'm testing again is if she doesn't come tomorrow, then I'll test Saturday FMU. (If I get enough balls, fear of more rejection)

Today is my "Friday". Yipee. Took tomorrow off work. Just because. Going to PaintNite with my BFF to catch up on life.

 

[SarahTTC3]

Dream- Happy Friday to you! A girls night is always needed.

Sunny- How are you feeling? Did you have another Beta test done?

Jmack- Let us know how the Dr goes.

AFM- Going to the endocrine dr this afternoon to get thyroid checked. I feel like I turned 30 and everything went down hill.

Hope everyone has a Happy Thursday!

 

[SunnyBe]

I'm also thinking boy for you Amber, don't know why I guess there's a 50/50 shot that we're right so the odds are pretty good lol. Oh and boys also have slightly lower hCG values than girls, and considering your test was a bit light when it first started

Dream, very brave of you!! Sounds like you have a fun day ahead tomorrow

Sarah, any reason to suspect endocrine problems? Good luck! Red pills are progesterone suppositories for luteal phase support during the two-week wait.

Tb, what the hell?!?!!!!! Don't you just wish you could glance inside your ovaries for a second to find out what's going on?

Jmack, good luck today!

AFM, 16DPO results came back, it's 733! More than tripled from 221 at 14DPO. Really happy about it. They don't do scans until the 10th week so I still have almost 6 weeks to go, unfortunately If this morning's near mental break down out of anxiety was any indication, I'm not sure how I'll survive the next 6 weeks!

 

[Dream143r]

Tears in my eyes, Sunny this is it. Don't have words to tell you how happy I am for you.

 

[SunnyBe]

Thank you so much Dream. I still am scared to death of course, but the hcg levels are really good. Clinging on to that.

Just remember that things can happen just like that. Last week, I posted this tiny squinter. Just one week ago! I really hope your shadow-ish-line you posted earlier is your squinter, and you'll have a great update for us this weekend.

 

[jmack54]

Congratulations Sunny!!! I'm so happy for you!! What a bright light in all of this madness!! Xo

Dream I admire your patience!! I have my fingers crossed for you!

Sarah thanks for the support! Let us know how your appointment went!

So my period is showing up today (low temp and spotting) so I'm out. I'm very anxious to go to my appt today knowing my numbers didn't look good. So glad I've got you all supporting me! Means a lot!

 

[SarahTTC3]

Sunny that is absolutely the BEST news ever!! So happy for you and praying everything will go great from here!

Jmack- I have hypothyroidism and hashimotos thyroid issues.. I am on Synthyroid to maintain it. Do know if I get pregnant I will have to have my blood drawn on a monthly basis so in case we have to adjust. I know they will up it again this month cause I have been feeling tired even after a good nights sleep. Been dealing with this for over a year now.
