TTC #1- Looking for buddies!

[tbfromlv]

Amber I wouldn’t worry about your temps. Everyone’s charts are so different and I don’t think it really matters too significantly. I remember thinking CT had some weird temps but then lo and behold she was pregnant! So don’t worry about your temps!

I think I’ve mentioned my SIL on here before-she “accidentally” go pregnant the same month we started trying. Then proceeded to complain to me the entire pregnancy.. even when I offered a glimmer of light “at least it will be worth it in the end” kind of stuff and she always basically said “I don’t think so!” Well, baby was born in August, her mom lives with them and she always has excuses for not taking care of the baby. I was there for 7 hours on Christmas.. she didn’t change feed or even pick up the baby once! It’s been really hard. I also had friends announce they were pregnant this Christmas and it’s just so hard not to feel envy.

Amber, don’t give up. I know how exhausting TTC is and sometimes feel the same way, but I can’t imagine going through life without growing my family. I hope this is it for you!

 

[AmberR]

Thanks Tb! It's nice to be able to vent on here. How frustrating that must be with your SIL. I can't even imagine not doing anything to care for my child for 7 hours! That just blows my mind.

I just hate not knowing but I think we all have that in common! I have been tryting to tell myself to be patient.
My dog chewed up my thermometer today, what a stinker! I guess I will just use a regular thermometer for now.

Just have to hold on to hope that one day we will all have little ones to complete our families

 

[AmberR]

Had some pink tinged CM when I wiped today. Only 8 dpo. I had a cycle in May when I started spotting with AF early and I'm afraid that is happening again. Time will tell...

 

[tbfromlv]

Amber is could be IB! Perfect timing for it! FX’d!

 

[AmberR]

I guess you're right tb. Will be interesting to see what happens. From what I've seen IB is kind of rare though? Wish I had a crystal ball lol

 

[tbfromlv]

Yeah, but rare doesn’t mean impossible! Some people have to get it! Also, that’s what I thought last cycle I’d say if it is, give it two or three more days and take a FRER!

 

[CTgirl]

Hi ladies! Just wanted to pop in to say hello and to wish you Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. May 2018 be your lucky year! FX for you guys in the TWW. Hoping to hear some positive news soon.

Amber, I know IB is rare but I had it - it lasted 2 to 3 days. I was so down because I thought I was getting AT early. FX for you that this is it!

Sunny, so sorry your first try didn't work. When are you going back?

Sending love and baby dust to you all!

 

[AmberR]

So good to hear from you CT! Thanks for giving me some hope Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too!

 

[Dream143r]

CT good to hear from you. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Well it was 2 horrible days with my ankle but today I woke up and it was 95% healed by noon all the pain was completely gone. I guess I'll never know what that was but I'm just happy it's over.

Tomorrow is 10dpo so I'm going to start testing. Not feeling super optimistic. We didn't BD a ton around O time this cycle but we know it only takes 1 time so FX.

Morning Ladies

Happy New Years Eve

Well I tested FMU this morning with an IC and a dollar store cassette. Both bfn. Pics are attached for your entertainment but theres truely nothing to look at. I will try again tomorrow. According to FF AF is due Friday.

 

[tbfromlv]

CT- hope everything is well! Thanks for dropping in!!

Dream- it’s early, but you know that. Also.. I couldn’t get wondfo to show much but vvfl anything hardly even when I had dark FRER lines. They were maybe squinted. I don’t know if they aren’t as sensitive as they claim or if I always have crappy ones lol

Afm- my chart is being kind of weird. I hit one temperature and just kind of stayed there. I had a dip this morning but I re-tested and re-tested and it wasn’t a dip anymore so I hope it’s not a bad thing!

 

[AmberR]

Dream- So glad to hear your ankle is feeling better! Sorry about the BFN

Tb- your temps are so consistent! You are planning to test Jan 5th if I remember right?

Afm, started with light pink spotting on Friday and then yesterday had red spotting a little heavier, enough that I had to wear a liner but it's completely stopped today. Temp is still up but I had to use a different thermometer that is not made for bbt so I don't know how accurate that is. BFN on wondfo today. Not sure what is going on! Oh and some cramping today...

Hope everyone has a wonderful New Years Eve! I will be in bed early as I work today and tomorrow

 

[tbfromlv]

Amber sorry for the BFN. You have time and your chart still looks good! I think you just had IB! Do you have any FRER? And yes I think the 5th is when I will start. I will be 12dpo then and the HCG from trigger should definitely be gone so if a line it’s likely a real line. I have a love hate with testing early. I kind of want to go buy a Walmart cheapie just to see if the hcg is still there now or not lol we will see! I don’t know if we will be able to stay up tonight lol we are normally early risers and early to bed-ers lol Happy New Year!

 

[AmberR]

I don't have any frer... I have a hard time spending that much money on them lol! I might get one later this week if I'm still getting BFN on the ICs and if AF is late. Last time my BFP showed up on dollar store test and wondfo IC so Idk, we will see what happens!

 

[tbfromlv]

Amber- look at you’re chart girl- did you test again?
Dream- waiting for yours too!

 

[CTgirl]

Amber, not trying to get your hopes up but I stopped bleeding on the Thursday (started Monday or Tuesday night) and took a test on the Saturday... So you never know. Plus that dip!

 

[AmberR]

Still BFN for me this morning! CT was your bleeding bright red or light? It was bright red yestday but only a very small amount. Usually I start spotting before AF but seems like it should have showed up in full force by now. Although my periods are usually very light so who knows?

Also, I had very broken sleep last night due to fireworks so temp might not be totally accurate!

 

[CTgirl]

Amber, I had a tiny amount of bright red but the rest was pink-brown. Enough that I had to wear a liner. FX it's not AF saying hello!

 

[Dream143r]

Amber - I'm liking the looks of your chart for sure. FX your tests are just not sensitive enough to pic up your BFP yet.

TB - Your chart is looking good as always.

Steph - I hope you're feeling a little better. How did your appointment go last week?

Another couple BFNs for me this morning. I'll try a FRER tomorrow depending on my temp and how I feel. Feeling pretty out today but I've been hearing a long of crappy things about the Easy @Home IC strips lately. The other test I've been using this cycle is just a dollar store cassette so who knows how sensitive those things actually are either. (box says 20miu)

 

[tbfromlv]

Dream I’ve heard the same about the easy @home. Do you have Walmart where you are? They have a cheapie that’s really sensitive- picked up what the FRER picked up last cycle. And they are less than a dollar lol sorry about the BFN. Hope you’re BFP is coming in the next few days!
