TTC #1- Looking for buddies!

[SarahTTC3]

Thank you, Sunny! You are so full of information! Hopefully we hit the time frame window and we get one to stick.

I think so! Check out this graph of the likelihood of conceiving by O-day https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54a74a78e4b0f1bacf86c3c0/t/599c95cecd0f689dab9379b2/1503434211450/Probability+of+conception+graph.png?format=750w. So if ovulation is indeed today, and you BD'd yesterday, you have about a 31% chance of conceiving.

That being said, we are an unlucky bunch in this topic and didn't know we'd have any trouble when we first started posting here. Four of us have attempted artificial ways of conception, there have been 5 chemical pregnancies, 2 miscarriages, and lots of cycles where we all BD-d in the fertile window without any luck lol. It seems that our luck has turned a bit lately, so I'm sincerely hoping you and Dream can catch a bit of that positivity

I’m just over here waiting for dream to give us an update this morning

 

[SunnyBe]

Me too!

 

[steph1607]

Snap. Yawwwwwwwwwwn.

 

[Dream143r]

lol I don't know how I would do it without you guys, seriously.

Tuesday, 7DPO/IUI & 8DPT = VFL
Wednesday, 8DPO/IUI & 9DPT = VVFL
Thursday, 9DPO/IUI & 10DPT =

So the real testing begins tomorrow (when I said I would start lol, who was I kidding). I only took a wondfo this morning but its the same brand I did yesterday, so for comparison it's a negative. Temps doing okay, still taking my progesterone suppositories. DH thinks that I'm pregnant, for no good reason he just thinks I am. Well he thinks the only reason the first one didn't work is because the clinic does it on purpose (making the first one fail) to get more money. He's always finding conspiracy in everything, that's just how he sees the world. lol

I'm not feeling here nor there today. Not feeling pregnant, not feeling 'unpregnant'. Still no sore BBs yet...

Sarah - Sunny is the statistics queen!

 

[tbfromlv]

Well we now know the trigger is gone! I can’t wait until tomorrow! And I never felt pregnant either.. in fact I still don’t lol so don’t put too much stock in that. Although I have a really good feeling about this! Not sure if it’s conspiracy related but I’m on your dhs side with the preggers part!

 

[SunnyBe]

It would have been very, very early anyway! Can't wait to see what happens over the next couple of days. I also agree with Tb, I still don't feel pregnant!

Steph, how are you holding up with the heat?

 

[steph1607]

What is root beer? Just normal beer?

Looking forward to hearing from you today Dream

I'm doing fine really Sunny, my work is pretty air conditioned so we're okay - it's just that the UK as a whole isn't used to this kind of weather so most buildings and public transport are not used to this kind of heat. Our houses are obviously designed to retain warmth! But I definitely can't complain, never had a summer like it and I would be the first to moan if I was cold. Annoyingly, it's supposed to drop to about 19/20 over the weekend and then back up to 28 when we go back to work... bloody typical isn't it!!

Obviously now we're not TTC, I'm back into sport and fitness in a big way - husband and I joined a new sports centre on Sunday, so now we have unlimited gym, swim, classes and racket sports (before it was just gym). I lost my squash virginity on Tuesday - absolutely loved it! Definitely the sport for me now my rugby days are behind me

Hope all you pregnant ladies are doing well, not long to go now for you Amber

 

[Dream143r]

Steph - root beer isn't beer at all actually, not sure why it's called that. It's a flavour of pop or soda. Very tasty.

This weeks weather has been very wet. Lots of rain and thunder storms.

Not feeling the slight drop in temp this morning...but I won't think too much into it because as you can see there's a lot of open circles. I haven't been waking up at the same time at all. This morning was about an hour earlier than any of the others because I came to work for 6am.

Sooo, I took 3 tests this morning.
Wondfo -
'Ultra Sensitive' IC - Faint line, but not a squinter. Could see it no problem.
FRER - Faint line, oddly not as clear as the ultra sensitive but still there.

Now the problem is up until now I was only testing Wondfos (because I have an abundance of them). Since the wondfo is still negative I'm not convinced this isn't still trigger on the other two tests. Maybe those ones would have been darker yesterday. I'll just have to keep testing and see what happens.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

 

[SunnyBe]

Steph, glad to hear that! I'd personally take heat over cold any day (good thing I live in Florida).

Yay for squash

Oh and root beer seems to be somewhat related to the taste of Dandelion & Burdock according to this website: https://www.quora.com/What-is-root-beer-in-England. Not the biggest fan, but I'm boring that way (my favorite drink is water lol).

Dream, well that sounds promising! Have you used these ultra sensitive ones ever before, maybe last month?

 

[tbfromlv]

Steph- I LOVE squash. It really is so fun! When I lived in North Carolina our gym had some courts and I loved it. I didn’t realize you didn’t have Root Beer there! As Dream said, it’s just a type of soda. Some people put vanilla ice cream in a cup and poor root beer over it for a root beer float. I have t had any soda since I was 14 so I just remember it being good

Dream- are you 11dpt? Do you know how much your trigger was? Like 10,000Iu or 6500IU? Perhaps it’s a little left over trigger and a little bit real hcg. if you recall, my trigger didn’t seem to completely fade. It just started getting darker one day. I’m so hoping this is it!

 

[tbfromlv]

Yeah didn’t you use them last cycle? They went negative or at least super squinters by now didn’t they? My fingers are crossed so hard! I get so excited every morning to come see what’s going on!

 

[Dream143r]

Yep I used them last time. I do feel like they were way lighter, more like super squinters by this point last time. I don't want to put too much weight on that though.

I don't remember the ovidrel dosage, but it was the same as the last one.

Yumm I could go for a root beer float right now. We had them as one of our late night stations at our wedding.

 

[steph1607]

"my favourite drink is water" Oh Sunny, that did make me laugh, you are just the epitome of health!! Okay, I do know Dandelion & Burdock - don't think I've had it since I was young though.

 

[SunnyBe]

Hahaha no I swear I'm just boring, it's not a health-conscious choice I also don't like coffee (yuck, but love the smell!). Alcoholic drinks have to have a really fruity flavor to mask the taste of alcohol, otherwise I don't like that either (so no beer/wine either). People might think I'm Mormon

Can't wait for your update tomorrow Dream!!

 

[steph1607]

Haha funnily enough I too do not drink tea, coffee, beer, wine etc! At home I just drink water and occasionally squash. If I go out I might drink cider (not normal apple cider, only something like Koppaberg), or a spirit and coke or something. I do love a hot chocolate in winter too!

 

[SunnyBe]

Ohhh I already can't wait for the temps to cool down a bit so it feels more appropriate to be drinking hot cocoa with a bit of whipped cream, yum.

 

[SunnyBe]

Wake up Dream

 

[Dream143r]

Frer was negative this morning. I give up guys.
