ttc#1 new looking for buddy!

[Jules8]

Lol. It really is way too early but nothing else was on. Now I'm watching girly movies and cleaning a little. I feel like I should be productive but it was super hard to get moving.

 

[TTTTina]

I have 6 days about till af is supposed to come and I just know she will. I have some cramping that is af cramps and I'm super upset. I'm not going to test at all cuz I know she's gonna show.

I live by a trader joes. There stuff Is kind of expensive tho

 

[MH5280]

Don't test TTTTina!!! It's so much worse to see the BFN then just to know AF is coming!
Yea we went to trader joes a few times, and they are expensive and I just have to have the brands I know and am use to! Plus the people there were so rude! No thanks!

 

[Jules8]

So my af disappeared. Saturday I had a temp dip and that night I had some blood streaked ewcm, (I know that is kind of tmi lol) then I had cramps and felt so blah just like I do every month. I kept waiting yesterday for it to come and nothing, now today besides some little cramps I have nothing. I think af is playing tricks on me and it is not coool!! I just want to start my new cycle if I am not pregnant. I took a test last week and it was a definite bfn.

 

[MH5280]

Last cycle AF tricked me and came a day late! I was like sooo sure I was preg all day when she didn't show! Then late the next afternoon AF came
I kind of wonder if the same thing will happen this time. AF due tm.... No symptoms though. My boobs don't hurt at all any more, no spotting/pink since the 1 time at 6am yesterday morning, but I got the bfn... So idk!?! My friend had 2 bfn followed by bfp testing 3 days in a row... But I use the FRER so I feel like it would detect by now right!? UGH! These 2-3 days is worse than the whole 2 weeks! Haha!
I did request time off work for next cycle during my fertile time, so let's hope those days stay the same now! Haha! I figure then I can relax and have less stress!

 

[Jules8]

I agree that the last days before af is the worst wait ever! I have no symptoms at all except for the little cramps so I can't even symptom spot. lol It seems as though none of us have gotten af yet so there is still hope!! fingers crossed and a pound of baby dust!!!! I think maybe just maybe if my af doesn't show by tomorrow morning I am going to test...even if its bfn at least I know I can focus on going forward.

 

[Jules8]

I hope so too! That is awesome that you got off for lots of bd time! Once I know my due date will be past July I may take some days off. I have been holding on so that if I was to get preggo than I could have a few extra weeks of PTO to add on to maternity leave or a few weeks before to get things ready...doesn't look like that will happen tho so I could definitely use a few long weekends.

 

[TTTTina]

AF needs to stop playing games. I have definite af symptoms so I'm sure she's coming, so I won't test, unless I'm a few days late lol. I'll give her a couple extra days cuz sometimes she's early for me, and sometimes she's late so we'll see this time. I hope you do end up getting your bfp but if not then I hope af stops messing with you and just comes so you can start your next cycle!

 

[Jules8]

I also keep torturing myself by looking at the bfp section of bnb!lol I like reading the stories and looking at the people who got a bfp after years of trying reminds me that we are only on our 2nd month ttc so I have plenty of time...i'm just so darn impatient!! lol

 

[MH5280]

We have nothing exciting to talk about today! I hope everyone is having a good monday! I have a case of the Mondays! And am sleepy!

I told my boss I had company in town so I needed to extend my weekend that week! Haha! Could you imagine "hey so I'm gonna need these days of so I can focus on having sex all week! Thanks!" Lmao!

 

[MH5280]

Haha Jules I do the same thing! I'm addicted to this site, I just read a bunch of threads! But I had joining when they are like so many people in and a million posts! Our thread I can at least keep track of everyone!

 

[Jules8]

Hahaha! My boss doesn't ask questions..thank goodness, though it's a female so I think she would understand. It is soooo hard to get a thread started on here or to keep one going. I am proud of us! I stalked for a while then finally got brave and posted something...0 responses. lol I am glad I got in with you ladies early on.

On a new topic..I am conflicted. I want to try some new stuff next month just for the heck of it. I was all about vitex, but also heard good things about maca..so now I am torn on which one to start. I am also def. using digital opk's and I think I will do the whole pineapple core just for fun.Anything new you ladies are going to try if af shows her terrible, horrible, rediculous self?

 

[MH5280]

I don't think I could do the pineapple core, I'm not a pineapple fan! I don't really know what I'd try! But I think we will do preseed again, and I kind of want to do the 5 days in a row... But I hear every day lessens sperm count, but then that you have better odds... I'm not sure if I'll spend money on opk's this cycle knowing it's been CD14-16 the past two cycles I may just assume and do those, plus if we do the 5 days in a row we'd hit those days for sure. Do you think that's a bad idea to do 5 days straight?

I've read more about maca, so for that reason I'd pick that!

 

[Jules8]

Some people put it in a smoothie which wouldn't be too bad. Lol I heard the best bd plan is every other day starting cd8 then 3 days (2days prior and on O day) then skip a day and bd once more. I believe on this site they call it SMEP..but I don't think 5 days in a row is a bad idea either. I wouldn't worry too much unless your husband has a low sperm count.
I'm going to get the maca and maybe just do both! Lol

 

[MH5280]

That's what I've heard too! We tried every other but unfortunately wasn't as strict as I'd hoped...

Yes smoothies I think are a good idea! Where do you get it??

 

[MH5280]

Well I believe AF is just around the corner. I started brown spotting more today. Blah.

 

[TTTTina]

I was just reading about smep the other day and think I am going to try that, along with continuing to use preseed and using digital opks. I also may start to temp too. Cycle after if i need too I'll see what else I would like to try. I love pineapple so that may be something I'll try too. Lol

 

[Jules8]

Still no AF so I tested this morning and I'm calling it a bfn...I thought I saw a shadow and stopped myself to just take it as a bfn because if it was a bfp I wouldnt have to inspect it. Lol if it turns pink I will be ecstatic, but I can't obsess over a shadow and be even more disappointed when AF arrives.

 

[MH5280]

I'm really getting irritated and impatient! I have small amounts of spotting, so I get prepared for AF, and then I don't have spotting or anything the rest of the day. Last cycle I was a day late, so maybe she'll show tomorrow but quit playing games already! AHH! I've got one last test at home that I may use if nothing changes by Thursday.

 

[MH5280]

Also ladies! Serious question! After browsing the site, a lot of forums talk about not announcing BFP's in this section and to announce in the "announcement" section... How do you girls feel about that?
I think we've been through this for like what 2 months or so together, I would love to hear when one of you gets a bfp! So I'm ok with sharing. Are you?
