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

[ReadynWaiting]

Bab it's nice when things start working. I can tell a real difference in my body when I'm not eating right and taking my supplements. I hope it really makes a difference and that bfp is around the corner for you.
Afm just waiting for af. No signs of pg and took a couple tests which were all stark white. I'm frustrated, irritated and sick of this routine. I wish I could go back a few years and be oblivious. My Dh wants to ntnp for the summer so I can just enjoy it while I know I can't not try. Unless we break out the condoms I'm always going to be thinking about it.

Any updates ladies?

I have none since I'm NTNP. I feel like there may be a slim chance because dtd has be dangerous. (he doesn't want to pull out) but he does and god knows if he pulled out on time or not.

 

[ReadynWaiting]

Nothing new here. I'm on cd 5 so just waiting for ov time. Looking forward to summer holidays starting and just enjoying the weather.

 

[Wishing_]

I'm not. After the 4th of July my store is going to be putting up Halloween things. I'm not excited at all...

 

[ReadynWaiting]

Wow that's rushing the year by!

 

[BABTTC123]

Ready- that's a good idea if you want to try and have a relaxing summer just forget about your cycle completely. Don't worry about when af will arrive and drink when you want. I know it will be hard when you bd but just force it out of your mind anyway that you can and focus on having fun
If something happens in the mean time then it's a bonus! ^_^

Wishing- the same goes for you since your ntnp!
Just enjoy the time and try to forget about ttc ^_^
How come you are doing the pull out method?
My idea of ntnp is still having him finish inside me but just not planning when to have sex and not obsessing over when af is due and if I get a bfp lol

Afm- cd 13 and my opk is almost positive. I would be excited but my husband isn't in the mood at all, so I have a feeling that this cycle is going to go to waste.
I've been pretty sick feeling lately and I think it's all the pills I take, which I ordered some other pills to add to the ones I currently take lol
So my stomach will just have to get use to it!
It could be because I added magnesium to my list of pills and I have to be safe with how much I take since it, combined with my metformin, can cause my blood sugars to drop pretty low.
I have been nauseas and having head aches and fatigue since I started it so I may have to give it up if my body doesn't adjust to it.

 

[ReadynWaiting]

Bab-my mom had the same reaction to magnesium when she took it. I hope it subsides soon. Sorry Dh isn't feeling it, it's so hard when that happens.
I don't know that I can ignore my cycle but I'm going to try and not pay attention to it. I do want to have fun this summer and not think about Anything so fx'd that works.

Bab - He's scared to have one. In his eyes he wants everything to be good. Financially and schedule wise. Possibly even have a better apt or house. I think it's unrealistic. There's never a right time to have a baby. Then again I think it's my baby fever talking lol.

Ready - Trying to not do everything you've been doing is going to be hard. But it sounds like a good idea. Plan trips or simple activities with your kids.

afm - I've been cramping during and after fertile week. Still cramping. I'm also nauseous, bloated, get stuffed easily now.
Af shouldn't be here for another week and a half.

 

[Wishing_]

I thought I'll give it a try

 

[BABTTC123]

Ready- I stopped taking it that following day because my mom told me she had bad reactions to it as well. Since then I haven't had any issues
And I know it's hard to ignore it. But whenever it crosses your mind try doing something to distract yourself.. like trying to divide two ridiculously large numbers either in your head or on paper xD
Maybe it will help you out?

Wishing- I'm sorry about the bfn :'(
I agree that there NEVER is a good time to have a baby. By the time everything is stable it could be too late for some women and then they go broke anyways from the treatment expenses.
I say to just tell him to finish in you because the chances of conceiving are so "slim" that it may not happen.
It's mostly true anyways lol but that way he thinks he will be safe for now xD
Besides, he does know that the pullout method isn't perfect at preventing right?

Not sure if that helped at all but I guess what I'm saying is that maybe you can convince him that it doesn't matter if he finishes inside you or not to give yourself a better chance at falling pregnant during the ntnp.

Afm- I stI'll haven't ovulated. They started getting light for a few days and now are starting to get dark again. My bbt has been very steady, basically a straight line. I have never experienced this before so I am a little worried but am also wondering if maybe it's normal for most other women?
Who knows.. my quick search on Google didn't really provide any answers.

 

[Wishing_]

I've tried telling him that. No one is ever ready. Even when they think they are they aren't. I don't think there's anything I can say to change his mind.

Part of my want to test again. But it's still too early. I should be 7 dpo. The cramping is faint and random now. At times I get that shocking/thunder bolt feeling down there. On Saturday my leg bothered me. I don't remember how. But it did.

I've done research and apparently cramping since O day is a good sign. My bf told me not to read into it for something is always happening to me before I get my af.

BBT is the morning temp thing right? I wish I know what I say, but I don't. I know nothing about that... I'll see if I can find anything to help out tho!

 

[Wishing_]

It's normally to some females. A lot of them recommend on getting a real bbt for the regular thermometer isn't accurate or sensitive.

 

[ReadynWaiting]

Wishing-sorry about the bfn but you are still very early. Hopefully Dh changes is views a bit cuz there really is no perfect time.
Bab-having temps around the same each day before ov is fine. It's the temp increase after ov that you want to show progesterone is doing its thing.
Afm- just enjoying the weather and my family for now.

 

[Wishing_]

I doubt it. But I think I may have a slim chance. The tww feels different.

From Ovualtion day to 5dpo I had cramping
6-8 light twinges. Occasionally I would get that thunder bolt feeling down there.
On 6 dpo we bd'ed and it was strange. The things I normally like made me feel pressure and hurt. The things I normally don't like felt good. Isn't that strange?
7 dpo I felt hungry all day. Yet my stomach was upset & bubbly!
Today my back hurt at work today.


But that's good. I thought you were staying away to have a fun summer. Are you guys having a fun summer so far?

 

[ReadynWaiting]

We are staying at our trailer for most of the summer which is great. It has a great little beach, pool and tons of activities for the kids.

 

[BABTTC123]

Wishing- I hope there is some way to convince him otherwise
Or that you won't have to because you'll get your bfp this cycle :3
When will you be testing next??

Also, I have a bbt thermometer that measures the extra .00, that's why it was so weird to me to see my temps stay level for several days lol

Ready- I want a vacation too! That sounds amazing and relaxing
Go lounge in that pool and enjoy the sun

Afm- my opk's went positive yesterday and I had a significant temp drop. I will expect a good rise pretty soon to show that ovulation has occurred because my opk's are already going back down. Slowly but still they are no longer positive.
Hubby and I dtd the other day when I had ewcm and we literally just finished again 10 minutes ago xD
I've got my legs up and I'm going to remain bed ridden for the next hour just to be safe...

 

[Wishing_]

Right? That's sounds like a perfect summer!!

I tested about 10-15 minutes ago w/ fmu and I was hoping w/ all the weird cramps I've had since O that it would means something. I guess my body is just wacky.

And omg for an hour?! I died doing it for 15! Hehe. But fingers crossed!! I heard if you lay on your side it doesn't leak out. I'm not sure how true that is. But maybe levitating your butt a bit higher maybe would work/help?

 

[BABTTC123]

Cd 25/ 5 dpo today and my temps have been going up non stop!

I am taking my prometrium pills now just to be safe because I'm too worried about it dropping off even if I'm pregnant :'(

So far no symptoms other than hot flashes since the day after ovulation. Maybe irritability too lol

How's everyone doing?

 

[Wishing_]

yesterday. I'm officially a day late today.

Fingers crossed for you Bab! Not to sound like a newbie (even tho I am) that is a good thing right? The temp going up?

 

[Wishing_]

So we dtd to see if it'll induce af. We noticed that she's high and soft. Well I added the soft part, lol. Is that good? I've read a few random threads online and it means pregnancy. Others claim they have if before they get their af. Idk. Idk!!
