TTC my Rainbow Baby! Looking for buddies who log in often!

[Myshelsong]

Still, I know exactly what you are feeling. I am so hopefully that I will get pregnant, but know that it will be so much harder emotionally if it is a little boy.
Big hugs Hun, congratulations and keeping my fingers crossed for you and this amazing pregnancy.

Progesterone side effects seem to have dissipated but I got the flu! Had a fever the last 3 days, cough, runny nose, chills, dizzy...was hoping it meant my BFP was on the way but still getting BFNs at 10dpo...still have a few days. Good news is no spotting!

 

[darlingqueen]

oh Congrats still!

I'm feeling decreased optimism with this cycle because I decided to use opks this cycle, started testing at cd11 (which might've been too late? Because i have had a 26 day cycle before. Idk) and so far 11-13 have been negative which should have been my zone to get a positive right?? I'll continue until i run out off tests but I'm just a little meh now. Try don't even look like they are getting stronger just staying a pitch too light...

 

[Ask4joy]

Darling - my cycles range 26-30 days and I usually get a +opk between cd 14-16. Except 2 of my cycles on clomid (one being my current cycle) when I didn't get one until cd 18-19 and O'd cd 20.

 

[WishnandHopn]

Ask, sorry to hear you have the flu and got a BFN, but it's still early, you're not out yet! I saw your chart before I read your post, so I was very impressed by your high temps before I saw you had a fever, oops!

Darling, what time are you doing opk's? I know they say not to, but I always do mine with fmu because it's the only time I get a positive. I would probably start testing around day 8-9 with a 26 day cycle. It sounds like you have the BD covered really well so that's what matters though! Fx for you.

Mysh, you're getting so close to your FET!!!

Still...I'm just so freakin happy for you.

I'm 7 dpo today and getting my ass kicked by progesterone! My boobs are crazy sore and heavy and I am so bloated and gassy and it hurts! I'm going to try to hold off from testing until 13 dpo. I think given how fast I eliminated the trigger (7 days) I must metabolize hcg pretty well, so I am not expecting an early BFP. And so I wait...

 

[Ask4joy]

Thanks, Wish. I know, my temps have been sky high but definitely in the fever range (100-101 during the day but goes down with Tylenol). I'm kinda freaked out that I've gotten the flu / something like it the last 2 cycles during my 2ww. I read that your immune system is lowered after conception so your body doesn't reject the embryo but I also read that it can be a sign of an autoimmune issue where your body is fighting it and after 2 CPs I can't help but worry! I always seem to assume the worst...it's probably just a coincidence.

My nipples became really sore yesterday but so far no breast tenderness really. Sorry you are having such strong SEs from the P. It definitely plays with your mind!

 

[Myshelsong]

ask, I hope this is your BFP following a flu. Being sick is not fun at all., hope you feel better soon. With my positive I had sore nipples, no good tenderness at all.

Wish, I hate progesterone. I am doing it vaginally and it is just not fun right now hahaha. Bloated already at high. Not fun.

Darlin, I use to get opk positives at 16 cd. I ovulate later than Most and have a normal range cycle.

Friday is so close!!! Woooooo

 

[darlingqueen]

Thanks girls! Felt much better after reading that! I tried to reply the other day but my phone kept freezing and I gave up. I believe you all were right! I am pretty sure I got a positive opk this morning and now tonight bathroom visit i had tons of ewcm** so I'm feeling confident it was a real positive opk. I'm on cd 16 now so I guess I ovulate later too which would explain why I never seem to find my positive opks when tried them before. we've bded everyday from cd6-cd16 some double days and one day missed because I've caught a cold and knocked off too early and forgot lol! So we'll make sure to bd again tonight and tomorrow for sure and then every other day until af or bfp just in case lol.

Hope you are all doing great!

 

[darlingqueen]

okay so here's all 3 ovulation tests side by side. I'm thinking last night was the positive now because they seem to be getting lighter? what do you girls think? I suck at this!

[darlingqueen]

well I'm pretty confident with O since I've been cramping a lot today. I'm feeling positive with this cycle

 

[WishnandHopn]

Darling I have my fingers crossed that this one is it for you!

Ask, have you tested again??

Mysh, it's Friday!! Good luck today!

I'm 11 dpo...waiting a few more days to test. My progesterone symptoms have disappeared. But with my last BFP I had no symptoms except for no AF! The last few days I've been waking up really early, like an hour before my alarm. Could just be my anxiety...work has been shit this week. I'm so glad it's Friday. Have a great weekend ladies!

 

[darlingqueen]

Oh good luck wish!! Keep is posted when you test!! Which day are you going to test?

 

[Ask4joy]

I'm 14dpo - temp still up and no spotting but I'm on progesterone so I guess that's to be expected. Took an FRER this morning and saw a faint line within a couple minutes but then it kinda faded away! Called RE to ask for a blood test. Pretty sure it's a BFN but don't want to stop progesterone until I know for sure.

 

[Myshelsong]

Hey ask that sounds promising, a faint line is still a line!
Wish good luck this cycle. The weekend is so close

Well I am officially PUPO! Embryo is on board and I am just waiting for May 1 to take a test. Keeping everything crossed and trying to be positive and calm.

 

[Britta C]

Hi ladies! Sorry I've been absent but it's been a crazy few days lately. So ob office never did a beta! I haven't even gone in since I got the bfp so I have no clue what's going on really. But I have an ultrasound scheduled for tomorrow at 1 to take a look at everything.
Does anyone else think it's weird that they are doing a scan first without ever confirming bfp?
I haven't taken anymore test because I didn't want to drive myself crazy.

Myshel- I'm so excited for you! I just know this one will be the one! You deserve it so much!

Ask- that sounds so promising! Have you got a beta scheduled yet or will you be testing again?

Just wanted to say that my clinic and hospital don't do bloods for HCG unless they think you're miscarrying, or that there may be some other issue

 

[Myshelsong]

Unless it was an assisted pregnancy I don't think it is a big deal at all. A lot of people I know did a home test, told the doctor and then went in at 12 weeks for their first ultrasound, nothing else. I wouldn't be too worried.
Good luck tomorrow, let us know how it goes.

 

[Ask4joy]

Glad to hear you are doing well Brita!

I've been getting BFNs so I think I just had some phantom lines / evaps. I won't know the results of the blood test until tomorrow but seeing as I'm 16dpo and BFN I stopped the progesterone. So far no signs of AF but I read it can take a few days after you stop.

 

[Britta C]

I just thought it was a little strange since I had the femara and trigger shot this cycle right after a loss.
But no worries, I had my scan done today and everything looked perfect! I measured right on time with my dates making me 6wks 2days and saw a heartbeat of 124bpm.
We're over the moon and edd is Dec 16.
Ladies I don't want to linger when after 6 years of ttc I know how hard it can be. I wish all of you the very best luck and I hope you get your rainbow babies very soon.
I'll keep an eye on this tread silently and just know that I'm cheering you all on!

 

[WishnandHopn]

Congrats Britta, how exciting to see the heartbeat! Happy & healthy 9 months!

Sorry you're getting BFN's Ask. I hope you're out of limbo soon, limbo is the worst!

Mysh, May is only a week away! Fx for you

AF is here for me...IUI was a Big Fat Failure. Ugh. I let myself be sad yesterday when I started spotting, but doing ok now. We'll go natural this cycle and do another IUI in June. If at first you don't succeed....
