TTC baby #1 with my overweight hubby.

[TexMel]

Thanks! Yes, it was a great trip. It was kind of fun that he and I had this secret that we kept just between us, even though his entire extended family was around. I had many talks with his aunts about their pregnancies, so I still got to talk about the subject without spilling the beans.

I did get a good FRER and digi this morning (see below). I am so excited! It is unreal. Going to my first appt next Friday (3/27). Not sure how much she'll be able to tell me, but I'll be at 6w+2d.

That's strange about yours. I totally went through that last cycle. My AF ended up being 21 days late and tons of BFNs. Still not sure what happened that time. If you didn't temp, there's a good chane O never actually happened, which could delay AF. I am pretty sure that is what happened for me. It was a long wait, but obviously it corrected itself. Crossing my fingers for you and sending baby dust! I'll keep you posted if you want to stay in touch!

Yayyy! Those tests are a beautiful sigh!

I'm starting to think that's what happened. Maybe I just didn't ovulate. It gives me hope that you got pregnant the month after the same thing happened to you! I don't think I've ever said this, but come on AF!!!! lol I would def love to stay in touch!! Keep me posted!

Good morning! Any updates? Did AF ever come around?

It has kind of started sinking in around here. Less than 2 weeks until my appt! DH told me last night he has asked off to come with me, just has to wait until Monday to know if it was approved. We are celebrating my dad's birthday tomorrow night and I think it is the perfect time to tell my close family (my parents, brothers and sisters only), but my husband wants to wait. I am going to explode if I can't tell my sisters asap. I already lied to one of them and said AF showed up while I was on my trip bc she knows we were on the same cycle and she knows we are trying, so she texted me to see. And then she called 3 days later to ask if I lied to her.... I hate lying! It's all in good fun, though, as I LOVE a good surprise! Crossing my fingers I can convince him this weekend is ok.

Hey! How's it going? Any updates?

 

[TexMel]

How are you?

 

[HoldingFaith]

Hey!!! I'm doing well, how are you feeling?!

Sorry I haven't been on in a while. I've been so stressed! I had a super strange cycle (88 days long to be exact) and I just got my period a couple day ago! My last period was Feb.7th. That has never happend to me before so of course it was an emotional roller coaster.

DH and I are feeing much more optimistic though. I've started temping and will continue using Opks. I'm def trying to stay more relaxed and just let things happen this time. I truly believe the stress and anxiety of getting pregnant delayed my ovulation, which screwed up my whole cycle!

Anyways, I hope all is well with you, and I will continue to keep you up to day!

Hey! Doing great! In my last week of the first trimester already! It seemed to fly by!

I'm so sorry to hear about your wonky cycle! My fingers are crossed for you. I don't know if you remember, but my cycle right before the good one was also very strange (51 days) and that was definitely out of the norm for me.

I announced on Facebook today, so here's the pic I put on there. Had another scan today!

What an adorable picture! You are glowing!! Congrats again!

Better news for me this cycle! I officially got my very first positive ovulation test on the 21st and believe I "O'd" the 22nd! OH and I DTD 2 days before the positive opk, the day of, and the day after. I also used a soft cup over night to keep the close to my cervix. FX that helps! I def. feel more optimistic this cycle, just knowing I got a positive opk and we timed BDing perfectly! I have been temping but I am SO terrible about it. I have very inconsistent wake times, and the hubby likes to keep our bedroom freezing when we're sleeping which I hear is not good when temping. Anyways, I hope I get my BFP this month!! I'm going to try my very hardest not to test until at least 10dpo, but will keep you updated!

Hope you're doing well!!

 

[TexMel]

Yay!! Congrats on O!! Keep me posted, I know it seems like a long wait, but it'll be here before you know it! Fx!!!!

Hey there! Hope all is well with you, and your sticky bean!

Unfortunately, this wasn't our month. I was so convinced it was! I had a TON of unusual symptoms, so when af came almost 4 days early (with vengeance) I was so confused! On the bright side, at least I don't have to wait 88 days for af to arrive like last cycle! I'm still not loosing hope just yet, hubby and I just have to step up our game a little! This month i'm going to try preseed because I don't really get ewcm, so maybe that's causing some issues. Also, I'm going to try being more consistent with temping. I have my alarm set for the same time everyday to take it. Finger crosses June is our month!!! Will keep you posted!!!

Thanks! Everything is going great! Only 2 more weeks until we know what we're having! I am convinced it is a boy, but who knows! Can't wait to start buying things and getting the room ready!!!

I'm sorry this wasn't your month, but glad to hear you had a much more normal cycle. Temping is definitely a tricky thing. Once I got the hang of it, I would wake up and still temp for the first 2-3 weeks after I got my BFP. Partly out of habit and partly bc it is supposed to tell you how things are going in the early days.

Fingers crossed! You can do this!!

 

[TexMel]

How are you doing?? I haven't been on this forum in a very long while! Time seems to be flying by! Only 9 weeks left for me!

Hope you are doing well!

If you want to try something you could try preseed !
