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

[BABTTC123]

Thank you
I am still getting a strong lh surge right now so I'm not sure if I've actually ovulated yet... I'll keep everyone updated on that.

We had some friends over last night and had bought some angry orchard hard cider and no one drank any! I was expecting them to at least drink some lol Anyways so now I'm left with a big case of it. I'm enjoying some now just incase I do get pregnant this cycle. Enjoy my last taste of alcohol for a while

Hubby and I also took the dogs on a hike by a creek today. They loved it and ate tuckered out now! We are as well but we are going to finish our day with some video games hehe and then pass out before it gets too warm. Tonight I am supposed to go hang out with another couple of a friends. Maybe I will bring some of the cider along and make them help me get rid of it lol

 

[ReadynWaiting]

Take advantage of this time now! Life becomes a little different once that bfp happens and even more so when baby does lol. I haven't heard of that cider, probably cuz ur in the states. I stopped drinking beer (gluten) so cider is the next best thing when it's hot out. Enjoy Bab!!

 

[BABTTC123]

Yeah its an good cider
There are others ciders that are good too like Redds and Strongbow.
Angry orchard is the cheaper of then all though. I haven't drank in such a long time that I could only manage half a bottle before getting tired of it xD
I use to LOVE these! Oh well, I guess I won't miss it that much if I get pg.

 

[BABTTC123]

Anyone want to add their input on my current chart?
I recently began charting again but this one seems far more unstable than my previous ones.. but they have always been unstable compared to the average woman's.
I'm 6 dpo today and cd 27.
I'm just curious. I'm honestly not stressing as much as I usually do but I can't kick the habit of researching and asking questions lol

You seem to have all the right stuff happening even though your temps are a little all over the place. Have you seen a dr about your temps?

 

[BABTTC123]

My doctor knows about it but she doesn't seem concerned. Then again I don't think she even cares lol

But its steadily climbing now. Took my temp tonight when I woke up and it was 98.02, I think the one before that was 97.98 or something...
My boobs are starring to hurt but that's just the progesterone in my system. So I'm not going to look into that too much.
Last month they got too painful to bear and I still had a bfn.

 

[ReadynWaiting]

I'm still going to cross everything for you!!

 

[BABTTC123]

Temps have been dropping
Af should be here within the week

 

[BABTTC123]

So my friend who had decided to get her Mirena removed to ttc, idk if I mentioned this friend or not, just told me that she is pregnant. She admitted that she was afraid to tell me because she was hoping I would get pregnant first and then it'd be a more happy occasion.
I am happy for her and all, but she had only had that out for two months before she got pregnant
I had told my husband before she had even started that if they managed to conceive before us then he would be in trouble, lol...
So now I'm sitting here waiting for af to finally arrive after KNOWING that I ovulated and thinking that maybe his sperm is fucked up because he refuses to give up pot.
I've told him that he should quit just long enough for us to conceive and he gets all pissy about it like I'm asking him to sell his soul.
I need to get his sperm looked at so I can finally have a doctor to tell him to quit because he won't do it until then. And thanks to my doctor who claimed that it doesn't affect sperm he seems to think that it has nothing to do with our fertility issues.
But of course it couldn't possibly have anything to do with his low libido as well right?
Ugh..

Sorry I needed to vent.
I'm a bit heart broken that I couldn't be pregnant with my friend.
I had a gut feeling that she was going to be telling me this soon. I just sensed it and I started feeling like crap about all of this.
4 years is too long for me. I know many of tried for far longer but it doesn't make it any easier to think about that.

I need sleep. Hope all is going well Ready and Wishing. Please keep updating so this thread doesn't die off again lol

 

[ReadynWaiting]

Bab I'm sorry! I hate that your journey has been so long at that hour Dh sounds like a dink. I say that cuz my husband is the same. I was sure the issue was partly him because he smokes cigarettes and pot and drinks way too much. The re even told him he needed to cut back if not quit totally regardless if his SA came back normal...which it did. That pissed me off more because he doesn't think he needs to do anything about it!! Makes me want to scream.
At least your friend is considerate of your feelings and who knows, maybe you won't be far behind her!
I'm around 4dpo and just riding out the clock until af comes or doesn't next Friday or Saturday.

 

[BABTTC123]

According to my app, mine is due this Saturday at 16 dpo.
I guess I have a little time to wait and see if a miracle happens but I am just not feeling it at all this cycle. It's very depressing.
I wish our men would wake up and realize that their health matters JUST AS MUCH as ours during the ttc process!
Their sperm carry their current genetic make up which certain parts of it change frequently throughout our lives based on environment and their persons health. So how they are now will be passed onto their children.

 

[ReadynWaiting]

I totally agree. I have had this conversation several times but he continues to treat his body like shit. He was supposed to quit smoking 2 years ago, even gave me the 'gift' of him quitting as a Christmas gift! He always has an excuse. Makes me nuts!

 

[BABTTC123]

Well it looks like af will be here within the day
Spotting, cramping and my uterus is gurgling and full of blood.
At least its coming on time...

 

[BABTTC123]

I'd totally bring up that Christmas present every time he smokes xD bahaha
Just be like, so what's the replacement present then?

 

[Wishing_]

Hey ladies! A lot has happened since I poofed! Again.
I'm sorry Bab. I know how it feels like. It's really not the best feeling in the world. And even though she knows how you feel she'll still probably go tell you about the updates and whatnot. Try to see if your Dr can convince him to check his swimmers. With him checking his swimmers first would save you from being in pain to see if you can have a kid. My Dr told me about I should do it, but I chickened out. Luckliy it turned out that I never gotten pregnant because my ex can't produce kids because his swimmers don't swim.

Ready - How are you?

AFM- I'm learning on my own how to crochet a baby blanket... I think it's not going well at all. But I'm going to keep doing it and see if I can fix it later.
Af came again. I'm now 11cd. I'm getting cramps on and off lately. I had zero af side effects. But I'm getting them now. We're still NTNP. Although I think we might try soon. He's been talking about it. I'm excited and ready!

 

[ReadynWaiting]

Bab-I really did get screwed out of a gift that year!! Lol His birthday is this week and he says he is going to the smoking cessation clinic at our Health Unit. My fingers are crossed. If anything he will live a healthier life for his family that is here now.
Wishing-good for you learning to make a blanket. I attempt every couple of years but get frustrated and quit.
Arm- approx 8-9dpo with little going on. I'm feeling out this month so on to the summer I guess.

 

[BABTTC123]

Wishing- we are looking into getting them checked out, but we need to put the money aside in order to do so.
Crocheting is pretty fun but getting good takes lots of practice lol I messed around with it for a while but it hurt my finger tips too much longer
Maybe you'll get lucky and you will conceive while ntnp :3
Fx for you!

Ready- I hope your hubby gets his stuff together as well and keeps this promise. Darn men lol we spoil them too much a I think xD
9 dpo is pretty early for symptoms.. any signs now that it's been a bit?

Afm- cd 4 today so not much going on. Just been extra depressed since my friend made her announcement. But that'll pass eventually.

 

[Wishing_]

My finger tips were hurting before too! I asked my manager about, since i workk at an art store, she told me I'm most likely doing it too tight. Since then they haven't been hurting.

Ready - I'm happy that he's going to do better for himself & the family.
Bab - the storm will pass!

afm - i took a test today because i threw up last night. For no reasonmay I add . I almost had a heart attack because I thought i had a faint line. I went to go get my tablet to take a picture of it and it was gone. Im sad now...
We went baby shopping for his cousin & friend. The cousin is having a boy & his friends are having a girl. We got the cutest pink pj's w/ bunnies everywhere and a minnie mouse hat w/ ears and socks. I want to keep it for myself!! Lol.

 

[ReadynWaiting]

Bab sorry you are feeling that way but I totally understand. I avoid certain people that are triggers for me.
Wishing- I have def bought stuff in the past for people and kept it. Lol I don't tell and they don't need to know.
I took a frer today for shits and giggles and blazing bfn! I'm feeling kind of crampy today like af is coming (I don't usually get cramps) so we will see. I usually have tell tale signs when I get pg like lower back pain (I have it constantly and have for a few months now so that doesn't work), crampy/heavy feeling (just started today), sore boobs (they have been for 4 days-i think it's just progesterone), exhaustion (my 3 yr old has been sleeping like crap so hard to tell). I'll keep using my cheapies and maybe use the FRER Friday before we head to the trailer. I'm not feeling too positive about it at this point.

 

[BABTTC123]

Wishing- some styles require loose loops but other require tighter ones and that's what I was trying for.. I did good with loose blankets but I wanted some that were thicker. Then I tried doing hats and toys but those failed miserably bahaha

I've been tempted to do the same thing and stock up on cute baby clothes.. I guess it won't hurt because if I have a baby then I have some clothes already, if not then I have an emergency supply of baby clothes for a baby shower gift xD
But I haven't started that habit yet so I'm good for now hehe

Ready- I'm just waiting for it to pass and for me to get over it. Af just ended so I'll be able to ttc again in a week or so. Hubby is getting a little more determined it seems. He's had to deal with my moped ass since the announcement so maybe he will keep it up until we get a sticky bean!

Any signs for you yet? I know you said you were waiting until Friday, but I'm curious about how things are going

Afm- just bring lazy. My sleep schedule got screwed up with week with both my depression and switching a shift for a day with someone so instead of working graveyard like I normally do, I went and did a day shift which was a completely different atmosphere lol
I'm catching up on all my loss of sleep now

I've noticed that some of my pcos symptoms are fading since I've started taking this herbal pill that has Chaste Tree, Myo-Inisitol and D-Chiro-Inisitol in it. My arm pits have always been dark (except when I was skinny) due to pcos and some insulin resistance. Apparently the chaste tree stuff helps with insulin resistance so that in combination with the other stuff in the pill and my metformin it looks like the skin is starting to lighten
I'm going to order a higher dose of it and talk to my doctor about getting on a higher dose of metformin as well.
And holy crap this feels like a dejavu... lol sorry had to mention that xD
If I've already talked about this just tell me to shut up haha
