TWW Support group to help get you through the nitty gritty...and beyond

You never know... Are you using IC's or frer?

 

[Renaendel]

SurePredict ICs and I have one OSOM left to confirm. Both are more sensitive than FRERs.

 

[BABTTC123]

Oh nice! Are they pretty affordable?

 

[ReadynWaiting]

Good luck Ren!

 

[Renaendel]

Thanks! They are decently affordable babbs. Osom which are the higher end of the two are about 2$ a test. These are the gold standard tests that many ivf clinics use. They don't evap and they are so darn sensitive. They are also black dye so you don't go chasing for blue or pink lines, a line is very clearly a line with these. SurePredicts are ics, so you have to throw them away after 20 min or so or suffer line eye run about 50 cents a test on Amazon.

 

[Mrs. Burch]

Hey gals, hope you had a great new Year!!! I can't wait for more BFP in this group!!

Anything Ren?

Bab-1/2 way there!!!!!!!!!! Yay

ready-your scan is the day after my dr apt!! Yay!!

We scheduled the gender ultrasound!!!!!!! Feb 2nd can't get here soon enough!! Hope you gals have a wonderful weekend.

 

[Renaendel]

Nothing here. I'll post something if a test magically turns positive. I did almost throw up today taking my prenatal. I thought gleefully Ohh I might be pregnant and then went nope, you have the flu dummy.

Hello all! Im new here!
This my first month back at TTC. Last time only Ttc bout 3 or 4 mo and the emotional roller coaster was too much for me so we took a break and prevented for a while.
Nervous for the emotional roller coaster to come back! But anxious for the next 5-7 days to pass and find out the verdict for this month.

 

[BABTTC123]

Ren- I will have to get some of those if they can arrive on time.
Keep us updated on your tests!!

Mrs- I can't wait to find out the gender!! I am living vicariously through all your pregger mommas! lol

ab- baby yet?????

ah12- Welcome!! How many dpo are you?? Are you ttc for #1 or....?

 

[ah12]

I have a step daughter that I've been around since she was two so I'm a bonus mom already but this will be my first baby, so yes, ttc for #1. I'm not positive how many dpo. I've always tracked my cycle easily but the past couple of months I've had later periods than normal.. but I'm guessing I'm between 7-9 dpo.

 

[BABTTC123]

Have you used Opk's and charted bbt in the past? If nothing happens this cycle I would recommend doing that to help determine ovulation
How much later have they been? What was your normal and what have they been recently?

 

[ah12]

I've never used opk, but I've been tracking cm and cp for quite a while (to prevent for a few months). Just starting tracking bbt in the past 2 months, but I don't see much trending in bbt but I haven't been consistent in checking. Normal cycle has been 28 days. It's been pretty true to that since I quit bc in November of 2013.
Then a few months ago af was 2 weeks late, bought a test and then af came. The past 2-3 cycles have been 35-38 days.
Dh wants to ttc but I'm definitely more committed than he is. He and his x got pregnant their first try after she had her iud removed.. even before she got af, they never tracked or anything. He feels like it will just happen when it's meant to and doesn't want me to stress, so I'm working on it!!

 

[ah12]

And any and all advice is absolutely great! I'm still learning so much! :]

 

[BABTTC123]

Stress can alter your cycle so trying to relax really is a good thing!! Many ladies on here got their bfp's when they relaxed for a month and didn't stress over ttc

 

[ReadynWaiting]

Welcome ah! The ttc journey can be a stressful one and the longer it takes the harder it can be on the nerves. This is a good group for support so throw out the questions/thoughts/feelings/worries.
Ren-My everything is crossed for you.
Bab-That goes for you too!
Mrs-That is sooo exciting! How many wks are you now?
Wishing-How r u holding up?
Afm-I am still so worried about this pregnancy due to the symptoms coming and going. 6 days until my scan so I can find out if there is a heart beat.

 

[BABTTC123]

Ready- I truly believe that everything will be fine
This baby is just being nice and not giving you much trouble yet lol
What symptoms have you been having?

 

[ReadynWaiting]

Bab-up until the last 2 days i had cramping on and off. Sore boobs on and off, headaches laSt week, waves of nausea randomly a couple of days, exhaustion daily. I looked back on the thread i was on with dd and my daily Ms didn't start until closer to 7 weeks. It's so stupid to wish for it cuz at least you know hormones are building. I took my final digi and at least I know hcg is still rising. This is when I took my digi with dd so I made myself wait so I wouldn't be disappointed if I got another 2-3. Sorry to be a whiner it's just a unpredictable time in pregnancy and having losses really taints things. Thanks for the support! Xo

 

[BABTTC123]

Ready- I hope that everything looks great at your appointment
I haven't gone through a loss, let alone be pregnant, and i hope that I don't have to go through one, so I can't say that I know how you feel right now about just getting through that danger zone. But I can imagine how stressful it is right now. Hell, if I conceive I will probably to freaking out over anything and everything xD

Ren- How are those tests looking??
Has your flu passed yet?

afm- 8 dpo and not a symptom in sight. My stomach felt like it had something sharp poking it last night and I was cramping but nothing too intense.
Starting to give up for this cycle.. If I don't conceive we will take a break until February. This should allow me to have some fun rather than stress on my birthday next month since thankfully AF usually starts towards the middle. In the past it would start on my birthday x( grr... But I always joked that it was 'My bloody Valentine' lmao!
Sorry for the tmi.....

Going to hubbies sisters house for dinner tonight and I am pretty excited. Glad I won't have to make food for a night!

 

[psulion08]

I'm supposed to get AF sometime this week..I think. I keep getting cramps, like AF is coming but when I go to the bathroom..nothing. I also have really sore nipples...not the breast..just the nipple. Weird. I took a test today and BFN. I plan on testing on Tuesday if I don't get AF.

 

[BABTTC123]

psulion- Good luck!!! What kind of test are you using?
