TTC#3 in August...looking for a buddy

[caz81]

hey, ladies, if you go onto the blinky request part of the forum then there is a thread that says 'caz81s blinky done' on it, you can get the link from there & then hopefully it should work?

 

[caz81]

jojo- yep that is right with opks, you might only get one positive one a cycle & most people dont actually ovulate on day 14 so dont feel worried yet. I tend to ovulate somewhere between cd11 & 16 so can get a positive at any point through there. What time of day are you testing? make sure you dont test with fmu as they wont work then, its best to test between 11 and 2 and try to hold your wee for an hr or so before you do it for the best results.

trey, sorry to hear about what is going on with you at the moment, really hope that everything will get sorted out for you

Coral, dont worry about the reading you get, im sure they can not actually tell your future for you, you will get your bfp long before that xx

I think the grapefruit juice I have been drinking is starting to work well as getting some ewcm & did not get any last month at all!

 

[coral11680]

thanks Caz, I hope so.

If I dont get my BFP this month I will try the grapefruit juice. I haven't had any EWCM that I noticed?? Does it mean you didn't ovulate if you don't have it? I hope not

Thanks Caz, the code from the post worked. I've taken a couple around 4:00pm, one @ 1:00, and one @ 8:00pm. It says in the instructions to make sure the wee is room temp. Does that really matter? The one I did yesterday I did @ 1:00pm and I let the wee sit for a while before testing with it. Does orange juice work the same as grapefruit juice?

I should Ov tomorrow, have a lot of CM and its pretty thin, not quite EWCM but its there. A little worried because hubby's tummy wasn't feeling good last night or this morning. We DTD last night anyway but this morning I wanted to do it and he just wasn't up for it. I feel bad because today I'm suppose to be at my most fertile and instead of feeling bad for my hubby I feel upset we may not be able to DTD. I guess there's always tomorrow and if this month's not my month then so be it. I guess we shall see. How's everyone else feeling this morning?
Coral, how's the first couple days of your 2WW been? You holding up ok? ANy symptoms?
Trey how's everything going with you? Hope things are better today.

you still ovulate but its easier for the sperm to get there with ewcm I think

Hi jojo,
Well a couple of days ago I had a dull lower back ache, not sure if that means anything. Also today some very mild period type cramps but nothing else that I have noticed really!
Hope you can DTD tonight although doing it yesterday may be enough. Fx'd for you!

 

[jojosmami]

Coral, maybe cramps of a little bean making its way to its new home for the next 9 months?? I have my fingers xx'd for you as well and here's some for that little extra umph!! EWCM started to show so that makes me happy.
Do you really think that even if I don't DTD today It could happen? I hope so!
for all of us!!!!!

I never leave it to room temp so shoulc be ok.

unfortunaly orange juice does not work, has to be grapefruit, which sucks cause i think it tastes horrible!!

Hope you manage to dtd tonight!!!

sounds like good symptoms to me! xx

 

[jojosmami]

Well, I finally got a line on my OPK. Its still not a pos result but its getting closer. I don't think I'll OV on my CD14 because the instructions say when you get a pos result you OV in 24-48 hrs. Maybe I'll get my bfp tomorrow then. That makes me feel a little better about not DTD if we can't. Maybe I'll give him a rest tonight. BUt tomorrow, its on!!

 

[jojosmami]

Good morning ladies! Hope everyone is doing well this morning. Well, DH and I didn't last night. We tried this morning but he just wasn't into it and even thought I wanted so badly to finish I don't want this to become unenjoyable for him (or me). I kinda wanted to show him that it's not all about "making a baby". That I'm taking his feelings into consideration too. He mentioned as he walked out the door that he appreciated me not pushing him to do it this morning even though I'm fertile and it's on tonight! ;D Bbs are sore today and got cramps. I really hope we get our bfp this month! I really don't know if I can go thru all this month after month.

Hope everything is ok with Trey. Haven't heard from her in a couple days.

Try not to stress about it. Hopefully you can DTD tonight!

I know how easy it is to get stressed though and like you really want it this month because it is getting stressful. I know it must be so hard for those who have been trying a long time! to you.

Thanks, and I agree! And I feel it must be a little easier on us because we already have 2 2 kids to keep us busy. It must be even worse if your TTC your 1st. I will say though that doing this OPK testing everyday is helping with my POAS addiction!

 

[jojosmami]

Hi ladies! Just wanted to give you an update and let you know I got my bfp OPK this afternoon! I am so excited! I feel a little silly being so excited about an OPK but just feel like I know I'm on the right track for my ultimate goal which is another healthy baby! Hope my hubby realizes ready or not HERE I COME!! I put a pic of it in the OPK gallery if you want to go check it out. to us all!!!

 

[caz81]

yay for the bfp!! Happy bding!!! xx

 

[caz81]

Just had a look at the pic & its a great bfp! Sending you loads of

Hi Ladies,
I am sorry I have been MIA. Things are better for me and my DH. We have a lot to work on but we are making the first steps. Not sure where we are on TTC. We haven't talked about it in detail yet. We did "make up" yesterday without BC...this is my fertile period...

It will take a minute to catch up with your progress.

I did see that Jojo got a positive OPK!!! I hope this is the month for you!

Ok, now I am going to figure out how to add our cute blinky to my siggy!

 

[jojosmami]

Good Morning!
So glad to hear that everything is working itself out Trey!
Yea, got my pos OPK, had pretty bad cramps yesterday and last night as well as my BBS are really sore this morning.I have a really good feeling about this cycle. I want to keep positive but a little nervous that I'll get my hopes up too much and be disappointed. Each of the times I conceived my kids that session was very special and very memorable and last night was one of those nights. Fingers xx'd!!
How's everyone doing this morning?

Trey, I always hear that after TTC it always happens when you stop trying or least expect it! What do you think?

Caz, see your in your fertile pd. Happy and much to you and DH!!!

Coral, how you feeling? Any symptoms? When do you plan on testing??

 

[caz81]

Morning ladies

Trey - glad that things are better between you and hubby now, hope that last night worked for you, sending you loads of

Jojo-sounding good to me! Really hope that this is your cycle, sending you load of too

Coral - HOw are you? any signs yet?

I think im going to ovulate in the next day or so as have load of cm now, I did an OPK earlier and is still negative, but im using some really cheap rubbish ones, I ordered some better ones 2 days ago but still waiting for them to get here, I will have ovulate by teh time they get here at this rate!! Me and hubby didnt dtd last night as he was too tired we did the night before & are now going to every night until after I ovulate!
