TTC #1- Looking for buddies!

[AmberR]

Blo- I'm so sorry that you got bad news on the SA. I don't know much about that, but I hope you are able to find some supplements that help and get better results in 3 months! Hugs to you!

Blo sorry about the SA results. My DH is on CoQ10 and Selenium as recommended by my ND. His SA results showed low motility and low morphology. If he's not on a daily multivitamin that might now be a bad idea either.

My ND always tells me to just let my mind wonder wherever it wants to go during my acupuncture sessions. Today was my 3rd session and the most relaxing yet. Its funny you guys talk about dreams. I wasn't sleeping, so I guess it was daydreaming. But I saw myself and my baby in our new home just hanging out. (making bottles, watching treehouse, changing diapers) it was pretty cool.

Just left the lab- I should have my results in a few hours! Line today was thicker and darker so I feel like it will be a good number. FXd!!!

A M A Z I N G !

 

[Dream143r]

Did you notice I temped again? LMAO. I knew I couldn't take just one.

 

[AmberR]

Yay TB so happy for you!!!

 

[AmberR]

Dream- of course you couldn't take just one!! Looking good though

 

[AmberR]

Oh by the way I tested this morning at 10 DPO and BFN of course. Now that I started testing I can't stop testing everyday now!! Haha

 

[tbfromlv]

Thanks ladies. I’m so excited. I’ve decided that I’m done testing now. One I’m out of FRER lol but confirming with the beta numbers I think I’ll be fine! Although maybe next week I’ll get a digi! Haha

Dream- of course you did! Looks good for what we can see !! Ha!

Amber- FXd! You have time!

 

[Dream143r]

Oh for sure Amber, once you pee on that first stick it's a wrap. Everyday until AF. FX your Friday morning temp goes back in the right direction.

 

[SunnyBe]

That's amazing Tb Congrats!! You're really, really pregnant

Hope Amber and Dream are next!

Bloblo, so sorry to hear about your DH's SA It really is a lot more common than you think. How long was the abstinence period before the SA? Too long or too short of a period can really influence the results as well.

Steph, hope you'll update us soon on how you're doing hun!

Amber - Impatiently waiting for you to wake up so I can see your temp today.

Mine went down a snag. Nothing noteworthy even. Still way above where my cover normally is. And also above my average when I do the overlay thingy.

I'm happy it's the weekend but I just want it to be Monday so I can test. Probably the only time where I would want to rush the weekend.

I booked some time off for the big move/holidays. I'm off pretty much December 15-January 2nd. I'm glad I was able to book the time cause it means I can just focus on the fun and newness of being in the new house etc.

We have to do Christmas early with my in-laws because they're going on vacation. Would love to be able to share bfp news with them and my parents for the holidays. We wouldn't tell anyone else though. Cept you guys. heehe. Oh I'm getting ahead of myself.

Just praying I can ride TB's wave of success.

 

[tbfromlv]

I was thinking the same- want to see Ambers temp!

Dream- what dpo will you be on Sunday? I totally understand that. I was 9dpo last Sunday and although I tested and saw the vvvvvfl, I couldn’t wait to test Monday. It’s tough!
That would be wonderful to give your families the BFP news. I hope this is it Dream!

My doctor said my numbers look great but wanted me still to do a redraw in 48 hours. So I will be going tomorrow morning. Hopefully my hospital app will update the results over the weekend- I don’t want to have to wait until Monday lol. Usually I get it right away though

 

[Dream143r]

I'm guessing Monday to be 10dpo so Sunday will be around 9dpo. But I'm trying to wait because I'm really not sure what my dpo actually is, I'm just guessing. I also only have 1 FRER right now and I don't think I would want to use it so early. So I'll be testing with cheapies to start and my odds will def be better Monday to see anything on a cheapie.

I appreciate that your doc is continuing to check your levels. I'm sure it offers you some peace of mind eh?

 

[tbfromlv]

That makes sense. I am very happy I’m getting another redraw. I definitely felt more excitement and relief when I got my numbers back yesterday, so the piece of mind is definitely nice. I have a good feeling for your Dream!

 

[Bloblo]

Amber - looking forward to your next test, its still early. Fingers crossed for a bfp.

Dream - temps are looking sooooo good. I fully understand not being able to resist temping. I have tried not to temp, but the tww is so much more difficult when I don't know when o was. Plus those daydreams sound great!

Tb - thx for advice re higher fat, i'll be sure to check it out. Preseed might also be a good idea, but I normally have too much cm, so dh is sometimes battling to finish since I am "too slippery". Either way, I might try it just in case...

Sunnybe - dh took 3 days 'off' before SA, so im pretty sure that didn't influence too much. We normally bd eod in my fertile window. But its good to hear its not too rare to have bad results.

Ladies, thanks so much for the support
We will just continue as normal i think. I was pregnant on cycle 8 and I had a very clear chemical preg last month, so I will just try to keep my perspective. If I was already able to get pregnant twice, then the bad SA cannot kill my dreams of becoming a mother.

At least I have some hope of getting there eventually. We are also in the process of buying a new house, but it will be at least 6 months before the building is finished - so maybe ttc taking a little bit longer is not such a bad thing...
(I'm really trying to see the silver lining).

As for dh: he is starting on new supplements today. It includes a lot of stuff (see pic), plus he is taking additional: CentrumMEN multivit, 30mg zinc, 200mg vit c, 30mg CoQ10. We will just keep on trying for now and redo the SA at the end of Feb if we don't get the bfp by then.

 

[Bloblo]

Tb - your tests look great, fingers crossed for good results on the next beta.

 

[Dream143r]

Glad your temp went back up Amber!
