TTC#2 and SO EXCITED! join me

[banana07]

Issac - Oh my lord - I just don't know what to say - Congratulations doesn't even seem to touch on how Happy I am for you!! I'm pretty much speechless - Well done x

Elt - Hope your GD does clear up - let us know how you get on!

Happy - wow 1/2 way there, that is crazy!! Hope all is going well x

Mama - Thanks for asking, i'm still here, well just about same as yourself I think come and go in bursts!! Its just too hard to keep it up all the time, ttc seems to consume my daily life enough as is. I just came on today on the off chance you or issac had a bfp and boom there she was!!

So then there were 2! If we went back to mid 2012 there must have been 15-20 of us on here regularly who now either have babies or bfp?!?

Not a whole pile happening with me I'm something like 3dpo nothing to write home about. Triggerd on Saturday morning so Ov'd Sunday night and now its Thursday morning. Bd at all the right time etc... AF due 13-15th December. I've made an apt with the clinic for a consultation on 16th December to see what happens next. DH did originally want to wait until after Christmas but I couldn't bare wondering all Christmas, what happens next, what is the time frame etc.. I want to hit the ground running in January. I can of course always cancel the apt in the unlikely event I got a bfp but if I did the apt would be the least of my concerns anyway!

But yeah that's is really, looking forward to our first Christmas in the house. Scary to think though that this time last year I was upset about not being pregnant but said to people at least we know we will def be pregnant or have a baby by next (this) Christmas. And I remember when we started trying in June 2012 my best friend telling me I might just have to wait until Christmas (2012) to be pregnant and I ate the head of her saying don't be such a b**ch I can't take that long. Hmmm might owe her an apology at this stage!!

Of course this the month, the month I have been dreading for months all 3 friends due their babies this month. Deep breaths Emma, deep breaths Emma!!!

Oh banana! I pray this is it for you! There may be a reason everyone said Christmas. You may just get your Christmas BFP. I'm glad this cycle seems to have gone right in every way. Hopefully this will be it. You, mama, and Isaac may all be bump buddies! How awesome this would be. Hugs to you Hun.

 

[HappyCpl]

Mama, looks like you OV'd!! I hope those temps continue to stay up! How we're the opk's?

 

[banana07]

Thanks

Mama hope you get your crosshairs now soon. If you get them for CD15/Tuesday we will only be 2 days apart as I Ov'd midnight on Sunday. So Sunday / Monday not sure what to call it

 

[MamaMac123]

Welp....definitely haven't ovulated :sigh:

I didn't think so, that massive temp drop must have been a fluke. I might disregard it. I ha a bad sleep that night and we had an issue with out eat so house was cooler than usual. Got another dip today though so who knows. Ugh. Was really hoping this new med would prove to be exciting. Now I'm just feeling disappointed already. But clomid never got me ovulating till cd20 something do we'll see. That almost pos opk is what has me worried. I'm afraid I geared up for ov but didn't. Thinking I may have to pair the med with a trigger shot which is expensive.

Banana - so glad you're still here with me! Not that I don't want you to get a bfp but I'm sure you feel the same that you don't want to be the last girl standing without one! We should get ours together lol!

I totally know what you mean. We had a holiday parade a week or so ago and I remember last year thinking that by next years parade I'd either have a baby or be pregnant. Also I remember my friend who told me they'd tried for 15 months with nothing then finally got their twins. I thought "oh my gosh! How did she handle 15 months of this!?!" Well....I've passed that now.

My best friend is due in a couple weeks. Broke down on the phone with her recently. Another very close friend is due in March. I feel like it's all around me and like we'll just never get there. DH turns 40 in February. The clock has never ticked so loudly for me. I feel like time is so limited an eventually we'll just have to give up.

 

[HappyCpl]

Mama are your opk's now negative?

 

[MamaMac123]

So, I had that almost pos Opk on Mon and on Tues it was back to a very faint line. Last night and this morning I've been feeling all "in the mood" and my boobs are getting sore. Both are signs I'm ovulating. So I just peed on another stick and voila! Looks like it may be the real show time! Here's a pic....the top is the test from last week. It's faded now but still gives an idea. The bottom is today.

It's still slightly fainter than the control line but there's the one side of the line that is as dark as control and I remember hearing that's all you need to call it positive. Hoping this is it! Kinda bummed though because we dtd the past 2 days in a row so today will be 3 in a row. Hopefully the stocks aren't depleted!

 

[HappyCpl]

Goo luck mama! Looks like its show time!

 

[HappyCpl]

Mama and banana, how are you ladies this morning? Saying prayers for you.

Isaac, how are you feeling Hun?

Elt, how is that baby boy doing?

 

[banana07]

Oh mama that def looks like a positive to me! Fx for your temp rise. I think we are ahead of time here cause I always have to wait until the evening to see yer updates!!

Hey Happy, alright thanks, hanging in there!! How are you?!?

Yeah in the nice way I am glad you are here with me mama!! It is going to be hard though one of us will get her BFP before the other but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it!!

Afm, just twiddling my thumbs for the next 2 weeks AF not due for another 2 weekends. Then consultant apt on 16th to get ball rolling on IVf with icsi.

Anyone else still knocking around?!?!?

 

[banana07]

Hey Mama

Is the trigger shot really dear over there its like £6/€13/$15 here??

I wouldn't worry too much about the stocks being low after 2 days of Bding all them little troopers will still be there waiting!! Just keep going for it I say!!

 

[IsaacRalph]

Hey girls! All fine here happy,symptoms still quite mild bit of nausea and had few early morning vomits but nothing too bad atm. Just counting the days down until our scan next week! Fx'd our bean is healthy and very sticky!
Happy- did you go see your Dr about your pains? All ok?

Mama- hey that opk looks like the real deal and don't worry about all the bding it all helps! So wishing you get your Xmas bfp that would be so nice!

You too banana looks like you ov'd after trigger too! What meds are you on now and are they scanning you before trigger? Fx'd hun

 

[HappyCpl]

Can't wait for your scan Isaac! Prayers for a sticky bean

I'm ok. I go back to the doctor this Thursday. I went last week. Urine was sent for culture which came back today all clear. My urine is getting dark despite the amounts of water I'm drinking. Back pain is horrible. There is a possibility of a kidney stone which I've never had before. Hopefully we will know more this week. I'm also starting to swell quite a bit. Even my face is puffy. I'm trying to watch my sodium intake to see if it helps.

 

[elt1013]

Baby boy is great! Thanks for asking. It is definitely an adjustment getting used to having 2 kids though!

I'm pretty busy these days, but am still following all of you and hoping for your bfp's very soon mama and banana!

 

[MamaMac123]

Morning everyone! Finally got my temp rise this morning and ff gave me crosshairs already thanks to the pos opk I guess. So that's exciting! I feel so much better when I see that temp shoot up! So now we wait and see...we dtd each of the two days before ov and twice the day of if ff is right so hopefully for us more is better! DH has his SA scheduled for next month so luckily if I'm not pregnant this cycle we'll have that info soon. I think he's prob fine but you never know right?

To be honest I'm not holding out huge hope this cycle just because it wasn't a true cycle. I never had a real AF and I started the meds mid cycle technically. But we'll see, the fact I ovulated at all is such good news, even though it happened late. I had my day 21 bloods done yesterday (was technically day 22 though) and have to go back for day 28 next week. The real test will be to see if this med keeps me ovulating. Right now it feels like the clomid which worked late and then would stop working. Hoping that doesn't happen here.

Banana - I'll have to check in about the trigger shot. I must be thinking of something different. Maybe it's some sort of hormone shot my friend used that cost so much. That would be reassuring if I need the trigger shot to have it not cost a fortune lol

How's everyone else doing? Excited for your scan Isaac!!!!

 

[MamaMac123]

Was just looking at past charts, and I haven't ovulated since April!!!! So thy makes this an even bigger deal I think!

 

[banana07]

Hey Mama

Just popped in to see if you got your crosshairs and I'm delighted to see them. I haven't bothered temping lately. I override and put in my own crosshairs according to trigger date just so I can know where I am in the cycle if I forget.

I'm just back from the doc, I have bloody thrush in my mouth, he said its prob from the hormone meds I'm taking or possibly the spray I take for my sinusis. Either way its a pain in the arse, speaking of pains in the arse poor DH has really bad piles this week and to top it off diorhea from the stomach medicine he has to take for a while and even better he got mad flu on Sunday so everytime he coughs or sneezes his piles bleed. So we are both in great shape altogether this week!!

All that aside I have zero interest in bding because of this progesterone cream that you apply internally. It leave a horrible dry creamy residue and discharge which sometimes stings both of us a little after, its just a horrible feeling with all that stuff up there not exactly feeling attractive!! Thankfully I only have to take it after I Ov otherwise there would be no bding!!

No idea what cycle day I am now!!! Af due next weekendish... Feel no different to any other month. Will do everything in my power not to test.

 

[banana07]

Hey Issac, Great to hear from you, hopefully the nausea will keep away a bit!!
Happy glad your tests came back ok, hope you don't have any stones, I know they can be quite painful. Be careful with the swelling, I'm sure the doc told you. Just make sure you take it easy!!
Glad your getting on good elt

 

[IsaacRalph]
