Hellobee Boards

@cherrybee: i'm so glad this little bean is a sticky one for you. Are private scans different? Is it because it's earlier than you're supposed to go in? Either way, i can't wait for it!

@.twist.: yes the nerves really really get to him, he's an anxious person to begin with so i think the stress was just too much. I don't know how to relieve him of the anxiety other than to try this NTNP thing so hopefully that'll ease his mind up a bit. what dpo are you? i had dreams consistently during all my tww's that i took a pregnancy test and it was positive. it was kind of heartbreaking when i woke up and realized it was a dream!

@chibee: I would so be you. NTNP seems so hard! I'm glad you feel like you finally have a shot now and it's like starting to TTC all over again. I wish you nothing but the best!
@cherrybee: so glad everything continues to look good! I may be living through you too lol.

Turns out we face one more obstacle with DH's fertility, as he has too many white blood cells in his semen sample. We're hoping it's just an infection that his antibiotics will cure...but it seems there's always something new. I just want a baby. Trying (due to the meds) won't be of much use this month.

@mrssquirreld: antibiotics but if it's not an infection then it won't change anything. Crossing my fingers it is. You and @chibee are cute, unable to really give it up. I'm the same way. We said not really trying this month but I'm still temping at least until the taw and we'll bd when my monitor tells us to but it's just unlikely to produce a baby.

@cherrybee: apparently having lots of WBC's (white blood cells) in your sample can change the genetic makeup of the sperm affecting their ability to fertilize an egg. If it's just caused by an infection that's fabulous and we should be on our way to getting pregnant after he's done with the meds. If it's being caused by another reason, it's likely due to prostatitis, or an inflammation of the prostate, which in small cases can mean cancer. His doctor doesn't seem too worried about it, so I'm trying not to be either. We just have to wait 2 weeks until he's done with the meds and get another SA to see if the WBC's have gone down.

@marionberry: so sorry you have to go through with that - how's your DH taking it?
@mrssquirreld: yeah who am i kidding with NTNP? that apparently only meant that I was not going to temp, but secretly use OPKs and check CM. were your OPKs positive?

@Mrs squirreld: Oh MrsS, thank goodness for you!! I'm lying here in bed, DH is sleeping and I am panicking my ass off! It just feels so AFy! This is what happened last time and then AF came. Its not the pain as much as the open feeling, you know, like my cervix has opened. Meh. How are you, hun?

@Mrs squirreld: Are you doing anything nice to celebrate? No, DH stopped me buying tests, he said I was spending too much money on things to pee on. He goes to work in an hour though so I may go and buy some!!!

@Mrs squirreld: oooh! Is it that time already?! Not that you'd know of course, what with you NTNPing an'all! Lol!

@Mrs squirreld: Are you finding that less stressful? Or more? Or the same?!

@Mrs squirreld: Its funny but that's how I felt when I though id passed the deadline for my child being in the same school year as my best friends baby. This was our last chance cycle and I was convinced it hadn't worked - and as soon as I accepted that I just felt less stressed! You may have moved but you'll be on the most beautiful place ever!!!

@mrssquirreld: I hope it's a good sign too! Plus at least we can tww together. Since DH is on meds it's unlikely we will get pregnant this cycle but anything is possible. Another good friend who got married a month ago found out she's pregnant today so it's been a rough one. I really want a baby so I feel your pain. I hope we all have babies next year!

OMG I am super sick with a stupid sinus infection and it's making my chart all messed up and because I'm TTC I can't really take good meds so I'm relying on extra strength tylenol and dumb light sinus meds. I feel horrible and knowing that this cycle was already somewhat unlikely to result in a baby, this has me just totally giving up on the cycle already. Ugh..maybe this is the world telling me I need a break from baby making.

@chibee: could it be that you missed it? How often have you been using the OPKs? I never really get EWCM but as long as you have watery CM you're still good to go. Do you have some preseed? That would combat any CM issue. It's so hard to NTNP huh!

@chibee: We're kinda NTNP this month due to DH being on meds, but I've still temped (although it doesn't work because I haven't been able to sleep more than an hour or two at a time due to my cold) and used my monitor. DH is not in the mood to BD so we haven't BD'd at all this cycle. I know I'll get a peak tomorrow, so we better BD tomorrow or the whole cycle is blown. I think I may not temp during the TWW but I'm not sure if I could really do that. We will have to see.

Sounds like you will O soon though so congrats. Get to BD'ing and use that preseed. You'll still be good to go!

@littlegbee: yeah i think i was really kidding myself when i thought i was going to try NTNP - basically it's what i told DH that was going to happen but i couldn't really stop the OPKs haha i am not very good at having a nonchalant approach to things that i truly want in life, i always go in head first! I was just browsing your blog, your little girl is just precious!!
