TTC #1 -- Need a buddy!

[flyingduster]

Luna, that's odd! Mind you, I only take one temp and fall back to sleep so I have no idea if mine does that too! lol!! Mine does do down to 2 decimal places though, and if mine fluctuated like that I'd probably still be inclined to go with the first one cos I've been taking the first one every other day of the month!!! lol!

Woot! last night... and we BOTH relaxed and enjoyed it for a change! LOL! I am so furiously crossing my fingers now though, I'm on CD22, and no sign of O yet today, but like I said I'm sure I O'd on CD23 last month (looking at my chart) despite what FF reckons!! FX FX FX for O today or tomorrow, and no later!!! lol

 

[LunaLady]

Yeah I think I need to get a better thermometer

FX for your O!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Sideways 8]

English Girl, my kitty is actually doing better, but he has his ups and downs. We're still looking for a new home for him, we're just not madly looking. Thanks for asking I'm sorry your DH is going to be out of town during your fertile period.

Rosa, sorry about AF I know it's devastating. At least you know that it's not your fault based on your blood test, hope your DH's SA comes back good too. Keep your chin up hon I'll say a prayer for you guys.

Luna, that's crazy about your thermometer! The instructions on mine say to always take the temp from the exact same spot every time. So I always do the underside of my tongue on the right. And mine goes out to 2 decimal places too... maybe it's time you got a new one! But, maybe everyone's temp does that we've just not tried it before (???)

YAY you guys it's the WEEKEND oh I couldn't be happier. I'm ready to go out and eat some good Mexican food. I'm so hungry all the time, there better be a baby in there to explain all this lol I'll test on the 29th when AF is due. 8 days to go!

 

[rosababy]

Thanks for the well wishes and hugs, friends. I had a surprisingly good day, considering AF came. I cried all night last night, so I think I got it out of my system. I had a pretty busy day and my students were extra good, so that definitely helped.

On the way home, I stopped and picked up some Maca. So, my dh and I will try that this cycle. I was going to add some cough medicine for my cm, but I think I'll stick with one new variable this cycle. So, pre-seed (actually inserting it again this time), Maca, my blood work is great, and a sperm analysis for dh this cycle. I'll keep temping and using opks, and I'm going to try hard to O (as in orgasm) during my fertile days. It's weird, but I seem to O with no problem when there's no way I'm fertile and I have trouble when it's go time. I think it's the pressure or something, but it ticks me off. I know that it makes it even more likely to catch the egg, but for some reason, I get stage fright. LOL!

Yummm....MEXICAN FOOD!!!!! I think that's a great idea, Sideways!

 

[EnglishGirl]

Goodmorning!

Sorry about AF Rosa .....
Today a friend of mine is visiting and she's a gyn and worked at the fertility clinic in Holland, we're both Dutch
Of course I'm going to ask her lots of questions about fertility, getting pregnant and what's best to do when it takes a while....maybe she has some good advice, who knows.
Today I'm planning a day out with my dh for my 35th birthday
Something to look fwd to, so don't have to think to much about this wasted month!
Have a lovely weekend

 

[MissSazra]

So today is 11dpo, and a bfn, the test couldn't have been more white if it tried, and I looked in every way possible for the faintest of lines! lol But hey, it's still early, so I know I'm still in the running.

 

[Sideways 8]

Happy Birthday English Girl!!!

MissSazra sorry hun but you're right, it's still early!!

7DPO today and I'm getting stir-crazy with respect to wanting to test lol. But I'm determined to wait until AF is due!

 

[rosababy]

Morning, ladies! EnglishGirl, happy birthday!!! You'll have to tell us what your gyn friend says! What cd are you on?

MissSazra, 11 dpo is definitely still early. Don't you hate those stark white lines?! I give myself a headache squinting at the darn test, willing a line to appear.

Sideways, I'm so glad you o'ed at a normal time this cycle! 7 dpo is when it starts to get annoying to wait, isn't it? Definitely too early to test, though. FX for you, girl!

 

[Sideways 8]

Thanks Rosa!!

I have gotten myself into a cleaning fit today, taking a break right now. I've vacuumed, dusted, finished laundry, did dishes, used the Magic Eraser on all the appliances (baseboards are next!).... wow I never get like this lol.

And Rosa I know what it's like to will a line to appear. I did it for OPK's and for HPT's. lol. Good luck to MissSazra, maybe she won't have to squint for much longer and it'll be a big bright pink line

Well time to eat some lunch, then resume this cleaning fit before it fades! Lord knows you don't realize how dirty your house is until you start doing stuff like this, and I don't need to give up cleaning just yet lol


haha like the ninja because I'm a cleaning ninja right now

 

[MissSazra]

Lol Sideways, I think I'll be squinting at those tests every day until Tuesday and then see if the rears her ugly head! At least if she shows up I'll only have a 6 day wait until I see the specialist and hopefully it won't be so far into my cycle that she can't help next month.

 

[flyingduster]

Oooo, good luck to all!

I have a few things going on myself.... I found out hubby was chatting up (and fooling around) with a girl online which threw me into turmoil somewhat... Took me a couple of days to crack and tell him I knew (in a scathing swearing yelling text message cos I could't bring myself to face him without wanting to run away or something) I am looking after a friends house (and cats) while she's away so I holed myself up there and awaited his reply when he got home from work to find the text message...

I know it was only online cos the other girl is overseas... but it doesn't matter it wasn't physical cheating, the trust and honour was still totally shattered.

A long chat on the phone (he guessed where I was and called there) where I was mostly silent and he tried to talk, both of us sobbing our hearts out. Couple of bouts where all I could do was say 'F* you!' and hang up on him and throwing the phone across the room in a fit of despair, only for it to ring again and I answer it to keep talking...

Eventually (after around 3 hours on the phone) we talk through stuff and he comes around to where I am and spend the next few hours talking through more stuff before coming home after midnight and talking for more hours. Went to sleep eventually at around 3am this morning!


Things are.... ok. We've talked through a lot. All our issues are stupidly small!!! Things like the dishes and yard work and not talking to each other enough... Both of us hate our weight and want to loose weight and be healthier; but neither of us had told the other one we felt that way so we were battling alone... together? lol!! Lots of really petty things that when we talked about them we wondered why we hadn't already talked about them. Both of us feeling a lot better working through all that. I still hate what he did, and so does he. The trust will be hard to re-build, but the relationship is still there.


And make-up was great. LMAO!!!

I did take my temp this morning, but I took it at 6am (normally do 4:30-5am) cos of not going to sleep until around 3am. My temp was above the coverline I have imagined (FF hasn't put one in yet) but not sure if it's cos of the emotion and lack of sleep or later time or if I have already O'd... I guess we'll find out in a few days if my temps go up more tomorrow!

If I HAVE O'd already, then the BD 2 days ago should cover it. If I'm only O'ing today (which was my prediction) then the BD this morning would cover that even better. Actually, the BD this morning could still cover an O from yesterday if the egg was released later in the day and was still viable...

We'll see, but with this huuugggee emotional rollercoaster right now I'm not sure it's the best environment for an egg to implant so may not be very successful this month even with our better timing!! FX though!!!

 

[MissSazra]

Oh Flying, sending you the hugest hugs! Xx

 

[Sideways 8]

Oh my goodness Flying! I can't imagine what you're going through. What a mess! Yes it will definitely be hard to trust him again. I am praying for you guys. Both for your relationship and your (hopefully) soon-to-be sticky bean

Had a temp dip today...about 0.5 degrees lower than the highest temp, and 0.3 lower than yesterday's. What does that even mean? May just be a fluke though.

 

[flyingduster]

thanks guys.... :

Sideways, my temp last month was up and down a fair bit, though still above the coverline, so I never really paid a whole lot of attention to it till it dipped way down for AF!

FF reckons I O'd on CD 21 again, and we BD that night, so not sure if anything will have come of that or not.... We'll see, but it means I'm 3DPO now and into the TWW officially!

AF is due on the 5th, not sure if I'll test before her or not this month.

 

[MissSazra]

So I tested this morning and got another bfn. But for most of this evening, I've been getting mild palpitations, looked it up and apparently it can happen early on in pregnancy. I've had them before, but not for ages, so I know they're not serious, just makes me wonder a little bit more!

 

[rosababy]

Sideways, you can come over here to clean! That's what I SHOULD be doing today...and yet here I am. How many dpo are you? Are you close to AF? Could your dip be an implantation dip? It's really hard to not read into every dip. The most important thing is to wait and see the overall pattern at the end of the cycle. I freak out at the little dips, too.

Flying, hugs to you, friend. I'm so sorry to hear what you're going through. I'm glad to hear that you're talking through it, though. Communication sure is important, isn't it? My dh and I have learned to communicate as well (the hard way), and we're getting better at it, but it's still hard sometimes. Sounds like you've bd'ed on the right days...I hope you catch your eggy this month!!!

Sorry about your bfn this morning, MissSazra. 12 dpo is still early. Loads of girls don't get their bfps until later. It's not over yet. When are you seeing the specialist? How many months have you been ttc?

As for me, CD3. Yawn.

 

[MissSazra]

I'm actually still quite positive about it all, and shall be until AF shows (if she does). I'm seeing the specialist on the 31st, so only a week to wait. This has been our 5th month trying, but since we know I've got problems it seems the logical thing to do, even if it only puts my mind at rest.

 

[MissSazra]

Grrrr. Just went to the toilet and when I wiped there was a light pink tinge to it, and now I'm starting to get mild cramps. I think I'm kidding myself that it could be implantation (although I know it can occur as late as this) but I think the will have gotten me by the morning. Will keep you all updated!

 

[rosababy]

Shoot, MissSazra! I'm sorry you're spotting...it's not over yet though. I really hope this is just a symptom for you. At least you have an appointment to look forward to. Sigh. Why does it have to be this hard?!

 

[Sideways 8]

MissSazra I hope it's an implantation bleed as well! I have my FX'd for you.

Rosa I am 8DPO today, I guess it could be an implantation dip but who knows. I'm not too worried about it at the moment.

We just left Panera Bread... yummy, they have chili now and it's pretty good. With sweet cornbread kind of like Jiffy.

Flying good luck I hope you get a bfp this time around!

GOOD LUCK TO ALL WHO ARE TESTING SOON!!!!
