TTC #1- Looking for buddies!

[jmack54]

No additional spotting or period today which is the first that's ever happened to me. I had one light brown spot at 6:30am and nothing since. But my super low temp today and that I usually start my period day 24 or 25 has me being very pessimistic that AF will be here in the next day or two... blah.

Sunnybe- have you started using OPKs this cycle??

Babylights when do you get back I neeeeed you!

 

[SunnyBe]

That's great news jmack!The temp dip and the spotting could just be because of implantation. Getting excited for you

What CD do you usually ovulate Steph? I've heard that Clomid can make you O sooner.

As for me; just started OPK's again yesterday. I'm due to O this Sunday I think. Had a weird temp spike this morning though but I'm guessing it's just one of those random things.

Babylights, are you back home yet?

 

[jmack54]

Thanks SunnyBe I woke up this morning expecting AF but she's not here yet and no spotting either. But my temp was still really low this morning so I'm sure she's on her way. Just weird that I would get one spot and then nothing for another 24 hours when that has never happened to me before!

Yay sunny!! So excited for you to catch that eggy this month!! I'm glad you already started using OPKs so you can more easily ignore that fluke temp jump! I get those before O but my temps are more all over the place than yours are. I hope that preseed and your longer LP are the perfect combo for you this month!!

I haven't had any cycle at all since coming off BC almost a year ago, Sunny, so no idea when I would expect to O with Clomid, if at all.

 

[SunnyBe]

Oh of course Steph, forgot about that! So next weeks' CD21 blood test will hopefully tell you you've O'd. Do you feel any different now that you're on Clomid compared to your other cycles?

Jmack, that is pretty weird indeed! Well, as long as AF's not there yet, I'm staying positive for you girl!

We tried Preseed yesterday and the day before but didn't do the whole applicator thing. That just felt... unromantic I guess lol. Just used it as an ordinary lube and didn't use that much. I'll probably up the dose a bit during my fertile window.

 

[SunnyBe]

Just saw your chart babylights I know you were already expecting it but this just really sucks. So sorry.

 

[jmack54]

Aw bummer babylights... I hope you are at home safe and sound and relaxing at your own house cursing that witch!!! Glad you had a normal cycle now though and you will be getting your BFP soon I know it!!

Sunny that's what I did too, just used it as regular lube since I didn't want to stop in the middle of sexy time to use the applicator haha!! So excited for you this cycle!!


Well it's been a day and a half since I had a spot of brown and nothing since then. So strange. I don't feel AF yet either but I know she can show up out of nowhere so I'm staying cautious expecting her. I'm ready for AF to just be here if it's going to happen but I also know my LP should be longer. If my temp dropped though is my LP already over? FF doesn't show that but it kinda seems like it should...

 

[steph1607]

Sunny I feel zero difference unfortunately! We've been BDing every other day since CD 8 (today is CD 16) and we'll keep that up for a couple of weeks, but then my husband's late shifts begin again which makes things a little trickier. Eurgh he came home from work yesterday and one of our friends had just let everyone know that his girlfriend is expecting. They've been together all of 7 months so we have been TTC longer than they have even known each other, so frustrating!

 

[SunnyBe]

Jmackkkk your temp!!! What is going on

Yeah I wondered the same thing about the length of the LP after a temp drop. Does that mean that it's over? Well, your chart goes to show that a temp drop doesn't necessarily mean that it will stay down all the way until your next LP.

Steph, yeah I totally get why you feel frustrated. I can't stand hearing how easily other people get pregnant while there are a ton of other ladies out there who have been trying for years with no success. I hope their relationship is up to the task of raising a kid.

 

[jmack54]

Ah sunnybe thanks for checking on me I'm soooo confused!!

So today I'm having brown discharge but no red or AF yet. Is brown considered spotting? I'm not sure if I should consider it spotting or not.

Anyway I am feeling really weird today. I have a bad headache and am nauseous...

Just took a test and BFN... just waiting for her to show today now.

 

[SunnyBe]

Ommgg TEST pleaseee It's the only way to know for sure and well, why not right? You're already expecting AF so things can only get better. That's how I see it at least

I mark brown discharge as spotting. That doesn't mean that AF is on her way though as tons of women have spotting, especially in early pregnancy.

 

[jmack54]

Just took a test and got a BFN guess she will be showing up today. This TWW was bruuuuutal!

 

[SunnyBe]

So sorry love. It's not over until AF shows up though so I'm still keeping my FX for you. I just don't get why your temp would go up if it's really AF... It could also be that your O date is off and you O'd later than you thought.

 

[steph1607]

Jack I feel your pain, but I'm joining Sunny and keeping fingers crossed for you.

Yes exactly, they can barely know each other properly yet, but hopefully they'll do just fine. I hate feeling so bitter about it, makes me feel like such a bitch ��

 

[jmack54]

Ugh Steph I feel the same way, I keep hearing about people getting pregnant like all around me!

Looks like AF is here. At least I know now the waiting is the worst part.

Thanks for all the support loves xoxo

 

[SunnyBe]

Sorry to hear that jmack waiting is the worst for sure but this sucks no matter how you look at it. Drink some good wine and watch a romcom

 

[jmack54]

Thanks sunny xoxo I appreciate you! Now I'm ready to root you on through O and TWW!

 

[SunnyBe]

How are you feeling today jmack? Will you be doing anything different this month?

Any signs of O Steph?

Babylights, Amber, where are you ladies!

I'm still waiting on that + OPK, hopefully this weekend!

 

[jmack54]

Rooting for your strong positive OPK Sunny!!

Since I O so early I'm already getting mentally prepared! I think I'll temp and use OPKs again this cycle I am feeling good and positive so I think it'll be a good cycle!!

Babylights- hope you are doing ok girlie! Assuming you are just taking a break which I totally get. Would love to hear from you if you ever get back on! xoxo

 

[SunnyBe]

Yayyy got a blazing positive OPK just now Earliest ever at CD15. Not sure if my cycles are normalizing or if it's because I'm not using prenatal vitamins this month. Hope I'll have a nice long LP as well (preferably one of those 9 month kinds )

I'm so glad you're feeling positive this cycle jmack! As long as temping and OPKs don't stress you out too much it's nice to have reassurance that your body is functioning the way it should.
