Under 25 and TTC number one...

[Cara89]

So, the is finally out the door and DF and are getting it on like a pair of wild jack rabbits haha. Super hoping that 100mg of clomid for CD 5-9 works its magic and we get a sticky bean this round.

Fx'd && to you ladies!! Can't wait til we get some BFPs around here!!

 

[babydust818]

Good luck Cara!!

 

[DooDah]

Wooooo! We need a really positive thread attitude I think. So who is gonna be the first tester? I think most of us are either waiting to OV or OVing... Are there any 2WW'ers?

 

[babydust818]

I'll be testing June 6th... although i'm a POASaholic.. so i'll be testing from June 1st on

 

[wantababybad2]

I'm only on CD 3 so i still got a while..

 

[Cara89]

CD 10 here, and was told to expect Ov between CDs 14-16... so still loads of still left to enjoy before I poas.

I'm on the 2ww. Don't know whether to test on the 28th or leave it and wait and see if I'm late or not.

I'll be testing Saturday but will be a miracle if I'm pg :/ here's hoping.... Good luck ladies xxx

Here's to hoping!!! I'm only on CD3 so we'll see...hubby gets home on CD5 from training so this should be a good cycle He was able to come home on weekends, which worked out nice because it lined up with my ovulation last month, but still no luck...
I've been doing some more reading and I'm thinking about trying the SMEP, at least, loosely. I think it just makes sense. Hubby and I are officially trying, but my hubby is the "Do whatever, just tell me when it's positive" type of guy. In a good way, not bad! I'm welcome to jump him whenever I'd like, but I think by trying to "plan it out" it makes it sound more like he's a performing monkey or something
My blood testing for the "antiphospholipid syndrome" aka sticky blood came back and looked just fine (yay) but I'm going to continue taking a baby aspirin a day, 81mg can't really hurt and one of my numbers was borderline elevated and it's still possible to have the condition with regular bloodwork. I'd rather take a teeny tiny little pill then to even have an extra 1% chance to have another MC...
Progesterone gets tested this cycle on CD21, so we'll see~~
Due to test the 15th of June (AF due) but I'll probably start testing at 9 or 10 DPO, I can't help it. I've got quite a few internet cheapies plus 3 FRERs and I think I've still got 1 Digi left as back-up.

 

[Marriedlaydee]

performing monkey!!! OMG I'm so doomed when we get to with that lil image in my head!!! My husband is exactly the same, just tell him when I ovulate/ what week and we'll get to it hopefully.

I'm only CD2 and AF hasn't really started properly yet BOO! Might be a 6 dayer at this rate, rawrrrr.....

I'm both excited and also pessimistic about my doctors appointment in a couple of weeks. I got a feeling I'll be told to go away! I just want to know if I am ovulating and why I dont when I've found out I didn't...rawrrr I dunno, i just want a doctor to help!

 

[baby_bray]

I was really nervous about my appointment with my Doc, especially since my hubby and I work in surgery and see her around the hospital. We only have 1 or 2 people that really know what was going on. And when you work in the hospital, people try to put in their 2 cents about who you should see and who you shouldn't. The Doc I saw wasn't quite the "top" of the list, she was more of the "backup plan". I thought she'd be really "no-nonsense" and difficult to talk to, but she was extremely understanding and open. Blood tests ordered and progesterone lab in.
Progesterone/luteal phase defects are pretty debated between OB/GYNs...some don't really believe in them at all, while some will just prescribe progesterone to anyone really. My doc told me there's one doc there that gives it to almost every patient. We agreed that for me, we'd check my levels first and then go from there...So June 8th I'm supposed to get my blood drawn.

 

[ikmju4]

well ive had my amh tests back and theyre normal should be between 15-28 and im at 20.... phew sigh of relief means my ovarian reserve is fine. Has anyone had their tests done and already on clomid treatment etc? Im being referred next week but cos im two weeks late for af i have to do a pg test on saturday to prove im not pg first. have already taken a test last sat and was negative, does anyone know reasons you'd miss a period randomly when theyre normally 35days every cycle? all tests back normal except progesterone low.

plus try not to worry about doctors ladies theyre normally nice mine is a very old man and even he was suprisingly compassionate lots of babydust

Hey girlies have barely had any time for BnB over the past day or two so sorry

Baby_bray - I'm really happy that you got a decent doctor. From what I've heard, they're pretty mean usually when it comes to dealing with ladies our age as we're not high priority. FX your results will come back good hun

ikmju - do you know if you ovulated?? That's really the only reason I could think of yuo being that late but I'm no specialis I guess that could be the low progesterone thing too

AFM - I have loads of work to do for my degree and am soooooooo stressed. I'm trying not to make it affect my body this month because OH and I are determined to catch the eggy!

I've been drinking a cup of green tea everyday/every other day, depending. My cm has increased LOADS. Do you think this is a good thing? It's not ewcm yet, or anywhere near but usually I barely get any before OV.

Good luck to all our girls who are testing soon! Can't wait to see how you all get on

 

[wantababybad2]

i have a question about bbt. the day my temp goes up does that mean i o'd the night before, or when did i o? i'm on cd 4 today, and me and dh discussed ttc and decided we were going to bd every other day starting tomorrow or the next day depending on when af leaves which will hopefully be tonight. is this a could plan? i'm not going to be using opk. i cant afford them right now. i can barely afford to go buy a pg test when af is late...lol. i just got my job back and a few of our bills are late, and i'm just broke...lol. anyways...thanks for the help.

 

[ikmju4]

Don't know if iv ovulated but who knows took another pg test today though and negative so highly doubt it's a shy bfp now

The temp spikes the day after ovulation.The plan you were talking about (every other day) sounds alot like a plan called SMEP (Sperm Meets Egg Plan) that I just starting learning about. You start BDing on CD8 and BD every other day. In the plan, you then use OPKs starting CD10. Once you get a positive you BD 3 days in a row and then wait! It sounds like it's had some good results. A few people on here have mentioned it and I think I'm going to try it this cycle, without being "too strict". I think that occasional BDing before and then the 3 days in a row are the more important ones.
A nice site for BBT is FertilityFriend.com. It will even map out when you ovulate, pretty sophisticated. The only thing you need to watch out for is that it won't really give you warning before it happens, it gives you confirmation after you ovulate. Most people get pregnant from the sex they have before they ovulate and less from the actual day of ovulation.

 

[wantababybad2]

that's what i am using, fertilityfriend.com. i have heard of the smep thing but i dont want to do the opk things, and i cant afford them right now. so i think i am just going to bbt every day that i remember...lol. and bd every other night. if i dont get a bfp this cycle maybe next cycle i will know my cycle better because of the bbt and be able get a bfp next month. but if i dont within the next two cycles i will try the opks and the smep method.

Sounds like a good plan, my guess is that it should work out well as long as your cycles are pretty regular. I used OPKs this last cycle and they were great and they lined up perfectly with my FF BBT Chart, and I still have a few left. I'm gonna use them around the time I should O this cycle to double check, since this last cycle was after a MC.

 

[wantababybad2]

my cycles are anything but regular...lol. this last one was 48 days. the cycle before was 32 days. before the 48 day cycle i was pretty regular. they were 31 to 33 days for like 4 cycles. then i had the 48 day cycle. it was really weird...idk. i think we are goin to bd every other day until af shows her ugly self again.

I can not afford OPKs this month either, but i am doing the SMEP! I started CD8. I went ahead and BD CD14 15 and 16 because i think that is safe for me. I may be wrong but i'm still going to BD on CD18 and 20 to cover all bases. I also use FF and chart my temps! I think i may have O'd yesterday but time will tell in a few days. The day before your temps spike is ovulation. So you won't be able to really tell if you O'd until after, but if you know your body very well you won't have any problem
