We'll Be Over The Moon, When We Get Our BFPs In June! Newbies welcome :)

[RobertRedford]

Well my tww is dragging on but the tww symptoms have began and are in full force! I had a dream last night I got held hostage and there was this guy with a stump for a leg that transformed into a 2 foot long fat penis. I also killed someone and left them chained in the warehouse I was being held in....so weird. And that's only part of it! My boobs ache already and I'm soo thirsty. It's going to be a long two weeks!!

2 foot long fat penis. and i thought my dreams were weird! you win!

So nervous, DH's surgery tomorrow at 11.45 and my anxiety is getting the best of me. :/

Ash- FX this is your month!!!

Amanda- Catch that egg!!! Wanna see your BFP!

Nikki & Emily- Can't wait to see the bump pics!!!

Sonia- i'm sorry you're feeling down hun FX you're just having a late O and your temps shoot up here shortly! Keep BD'ing! We all understand if you need a break though

Thanks! I hope so! You have to let me know how Kev does in his surgery. Really hope it's not cancer but also hope that it will help get you guys some answers.

Rachel and Kara-Can't wait to here what your prog results are

Morgan-I think the more temps you have in, the more accurate your chart will be. Like Mirolee said though, once you know your cycle pretty well you don't have to temp as much. I usually wait until AF is over and then temp all the way through my cycle. I don't worry if I forget one day here and there though. Sometimes I just need a break from my alarm/waking up early or from worrying about ttc, even if it's just a day or two.

Cassidy-I'll be thinking of you guys! I really hope this is what gets you guys some answers, even if you have to wait a while to get the results.

Sonia-I'm sorry you're feeling so down and your body isn't cooperating...We are here for you!

AFM-I guess I'll stop with the fertilaid and fertilitea since they both have vitex in them. Better safe than sorry I guess. I have another fertility tea that doesn't have vitex so I can drink that, it's just more complicated to make. I had a little spotting earlier, so AF will be here soon...I'm ready to start a new cycle.

So I feel kind of dumb saying this, but... I've mentioned before that DW and I had a tarot card reading from my our sister-in-laws cousin in January. She doesn't do readings for money, she just does them sometimes and had done them for a while. Anyway, she did our readings and did a timeline reading on both of us. Basically she predicted we would have a hard time around May but be re-energized/re-focused in June/July, then get preggo around September, big change in May (which would be around the due date). So this whole time, I've been kind of thinking in the back of my head "if I don't get preggo this month then it will probably happen in Sept" "it will prob happen in Sept" "it won't happen this month bc it will happen in Sept". I think I've really got myself believing that now. It's kind of made it easier. Now I'm realizing that if we don't get preggo by/in Sept, I am going to be really disappointed and possibly will freak out a bit...I didn't really believe the Suzy Rayne thing, but I've secretly been banking on this other reading. She was right about May, we ended up taking the month off bc of my prog and that's the month DW's aunt passed away. This month we were reenergized and next month we are starting clomid. She was also right about someone else's prediction, job related. I don't know...not sure what to think!

Really hope the clomid helps you and you can get that bfp by september!

Ashlee- Congrats sorry I haven't been on much to congratulate you! The pic looks beautiful. How was the weather.
I wish I had the guts to get a reading but I am chicken

Thanks! The weather was pretty much perfect aside from some wind. T%he clouds were perfect for pictures and there was a little sprinkling in the morning but it stayed dry in the evening during our wedding so I was happy!

Good luck to DH tomorrow Cassidy!! Thoughts your way! When will you get the results?

Julie, sorry AF is making an appearance but you were kind of expecting it so I hope it doesn't get you too down. I hope the clomid does the trick! I took mucinex cd 10-14 just in case it caused hostile cm and I had no problems. Not sure if it was the mucinex or just luck but I had great cm. be prepared for night time hot flashes! Like burning skin hot flashes, but then you're cold at the same time you are soaked in sweat...they went away by the time I O'd. I read that clomid helps with your progesterone too since it helps make eggs stronger, resulting in a stronger corpus luteum. Maybe that's your issue, your follies just aren't getting strong enough so then the corpus luteum isn't putting out enough progesterone. How is your donor holding up with you TTC? Did it take his wife long to get pregnant?

Ashlee, I used wondfo opks once and they were half as dark as the control when I was surging. I went out and got cvs brand the day I thought it might be positive and sure enough, blaring second line. Same thing with answer brand. Now I will only use cvs brand dip sticks.

Well, DH and I have BDed last night and monday night so if I was Oing I think I'd be okay, but it's REALLY early for me to O. I normally don't O until CD16 but then again I really don't know what to expect with my post m/c cycles.

your dream made me laugh so hard. That's definitely one of the crazier ones I've heard of haha

[TTCaWee1]

it makes me laugh thinking about it. And it wasn't a flaccid one either...

 

[wavescrash]

Waves- lol well you have given me some motivation to get to work tomorrow morning and see what happens!! yay its just the best part.. are ya feeling anything?

Nothing too crazy going on over here. Exhausted beyond belief and boobs are a little sore. Gassy/bloated. Had some dull achy feelings in my lower abdomen... mild cramps/pressure-type so I'm hoping it's related to implantation lol.

My cats woke me up rather abruptly at 4:30 am and then kept me up until my alarm went off at 6:30 so my temp today was useless. After having the spike yesterday, I was hoping to see if the higher temps continued or if it was a fluke but I definitely had to discard today's temp.

 

[goldstns]

Cassidy- thinking about you and DH! I am praying for a positive result.

Rachel-funny dream. I have had lots of sex dreams since preggo.

Julie- I agree, don't put pressure on yourself for a sept baby. keep trying hard every month.

 

[Disneybaby26]

A two foot long, fat penis...I just died laughing!! OMG!!!! Lol!!!

Good luck to you and Kevin tomorrow Cassidy, thinking about you!! Xx

So I found a hidden stash of my old OPKs so I took one of those and one of the wondfos and the wondfo was pretty much the same as last night and old kind was definitely negative so im gonna go with no surge yet. Maybe wondfos are just darker than the ones I was using. Will just have to get used to them

 

[NDTaber9211]

So, I started using Wondfo OPKs this cycle instead of the usual ones. And...I'm having a much harder time telling if its positive or negative on these suckers than I did my old ones. I'm pretty sure it's negative but it seems like its really darn close to the control line. Thinking I'm just gonna continue SMEPing and watching my temps and hope for the best

When I get a positive on wondfos it's super obvious. The text line gets dark right away. No need to wait the 5 mins.

 

[wavescrash]

Ugh I'm having some dull cramping this evening and I can't tell if it's actual uterus cramps or gas pains. It's really low and feels like dull cramps though. Never felt implantation to know what it could feel like if that's what it may be but it would be nice lol. And if that's the case, I think I don't want to test tomorrow morning anymore. I'd rather wait another 2 days just in case.

Good to know, the last couple didn't get dark until around 5 mins

Ashlee-I use wondfos. I usually use wondfos until they start getting darker, then I switch to clearblue digitals. One month I took 3 wondfos at the same time and a clear blue. The clearblue and one of the wonfos was positive. The other two wondfos were really dark, but I wouldn't have counted them as positive. This month I used wondfos alone, but I was so paranoid that I did 2 of them almost everytime I tested. Needless to say, I went through them really quickly. The day before O and day after O I had the really dark, almost positive ones. The day of O the test line was darker than the control.
To sum that all up...I really like the digitals bc there is no guessing and they are more sensitive (I usually get a positive day before O instead of O day). The wondfos are ok, but not as sensitive. I'd rather spend the money and not have to worry about it.

Rachel-I'm a little disappointed about AF, but no more than usual. I think I was just hoping a miracle would happen lol I'm excited for the clomid, but NOT looking forward to the side effects! I'm going to keep taking the fertilCM and drink lots of fluids. Plus I usually use a little preseed, so hopefully that will help if it does dry me up.
I agree about the progesterone and the strong eggs. I really hope that's all my body needs, just that boost.
I think our donor is doing fine. I know they just want us to get preggo as much as we do. He doesn't seem to mind the donations. In fact, sometimes I think he's pretty excited about them. I mean, he doesn't get a lot of sex from his wife (especially bc she had a baby not long ago). So, it's an excuse for him to openly (openly as in everyone knows, not out in the open watch porn and masturbate lol With their first daughter it took them a year to get preggo. She has PCOS and is overweight. Plus she wasn't even tracking her cycles...no opks, temping, nothing. They were getting ready to see an RE when she found out she was preggo. Their other daughter was an surprise last summer! She had been on metformin, had lost 20-30 lbs and was reading Fifty Shades of Grey lol
Love the dream about the giant penis man! So funny! Can't wait to hear more of those dreams

 

[morganwhite7]

Gonna start temping tomorrow as AF has begun to taper off.. Still loadin up on prenatals and DHA/Iron pills. OOOH I'm so excited for this cycle! Hubby said that this month on O day I can come home from work, we'll get dinner a movie & just relax and make babies in peace. I plan to take it realll EASY O/Imp week so as not to disturb my lil bean Oh I just hope bunches of us get lucky BFP's and live happily ever after !!

 

[goldstns]

I was getting worried because I couldn't find baby on doppler the past few nights... but last night he/she was loud and clear!!

For those of you ladies that aren't big exercisers, the cycle I got my BFP was the first cycle I started running again. I don't know if that helped or not.... just saying. I believe working out releases hormones... so might help! My cousin said it really helped her O when she started doing the elliptical... so I believe it helps in some way.

Cassidy- thinking about you and DH!

 

[jury3]

Cassidy-Thinking of you today!

Nikki-So glad you could find the heartbeat I think the working out is a good idea too. DW and I have been trying to take the dogs for walks/jogs in the evenings. Really hoping getting my body moving will help!

 

[TTCaWee1]

I run and work out at the gym and it hasn't helped me

Speaking of running, I just got some new compression sleeves in the mail today! They only cover from your ankle to your knee. $20 on groupon...

 

[NDTaber9211]

Good thoughts your and DH's way today Cassidy!

 

[asmcsm]

Good luck today Cassidy! Hope Kevin has a quick and easy recovery from surgery.

 

[BubsMom17]

Cassidy - You guys are on my mind today! *hugs*

Rachel - What do compression sleeves do? I am a runner and always suffer from shin-splints and achilles/lower calf pain. Would they help?

 

[TTCaWee1]

They keep your legs from feeling so tired. They help with blood flow. I wear the socks at work since I'm on my feet for 12 hours. They help keep swelling down too
