@paranundrum: I'm so sorry.
. Falling bbts are always such a bummer ... How much did yours drop?
-
@Kaohinani: Totally.
It went down from 36,91 to 36,78 Β°C so about 98,44 to 98,20 Β°F. -
@paranundrum: Well, it is .24 drop (f or .13 c) and only on a single day, right? (Staying positive, here.). Also, there are a plethora of causes for spotting (* hormonal shift, pregnancy, stress, etc) which can cause spotting outside of an impending AF ... So, until AF arrives in full force, let's keep our F'x.
-
@Kaohinani: Thank you. It's a one day drop so far, yes.
I haven't given up hope yet, but AF always starts like that for me. That doesn't stop me from looking for (and finding)
success stories from the web though. -
@Kaohinani: No news here. I didn't test this morning but my temp is still up. I'm feeling crampy and my back hurts so I feel like AF is on the way.
-
@skinnycow: Elevated bbt is good news!
-
Y'all, sorry to be an attention you know what, but I'm officially completely out of tests and had to share lol. I'm hopeful that a couple more of you will close the month out on a positive note!
-
@LAZB: Thank you for sharing, hun!
I think I may be "out" this month. I have no "real" PMS (Progesterone-induced) symptoms to write of, nor do I have any pregnancy-related (HCG-induced) symptoms either. I have had mild cramping for 4 days but they come and go. I've also had "wet" cm (ovulatory like? But not EW by any means) but ff discounts it as pregnancy related. My temp just dropped .13 β’F today so I assume I will be on the slow decline to AF.
I need luck
, prayers -
@Kaohinani: thank you! I'm kind of glad I ran out too, the tests are looking pretty much the same, and I am tired of analyzing them. No more betas, but ultrasound on Thursday!
I wouldn't count yourself out yet, your temps haven't dropped that much, and no symptoms isnormal! I will send you all the baby dust possible:) -
BFN for me this morning.
-
@LAZB: Thank you!
I know we all will be waiting to see an ultrasound pic, you know? -
@Jessiemuller88: I'm sorry:(
-
@Jessiemuller88: Aw, I'm so sorry!!!
-
@Jessiemuller88: I'm sorry!
@Kaohinani: Thanks! I'm not very hopeful this month... it just feels like AF is coming and I'm spotting for the third or fourth straight day. I told DH before we started trying again after taking a break that I felt like we were going to have a May baby so maybe next month will be my month
-
@skinnycow: Well, I'm still rooting for you BUT, I will state that May babies are amazing! My daughter was my Mother's Day gift and celebrating her and her birthday is my favorite part of May! (Incidentally - - We are all born on "holidays." My son is a New Year's Eve baby, I have Washington's bday, and the hubby is a D-day baby [which was huge when we lived in Hawaii. Lol]). Anyway, best of luck!
-
Thinking I am absolutely, unequivocally going to get my AF and there is NO point to testing. Another drop in BBT this morning so I must be on my slow descent to the non-pregnant H*'ll of AF.
#REALLYbummed -
I know this board is going dead here but ...
My Bestie called and urged me to try and POAS (again) against my better judgement.
13 dpo = BFN.
To add insult to injury FB decided to suggest showing me a "remember when" picture from (July 2014) when I was pregnant with DS (affixed). *cue tears* -
@Kaohinani: I'm sorry
My temp is down (only 0.1) today. I can feel AF coming. I'm guessing it'll be today or tomorrow. I'm going to put a real effort into not testing early next month - I only made it to 9 dpo this cycle!
-
@Kaohinani: sorry for your bfn. I know the feeling. I tested with a wondfo this morning. BFN. It totally sucks and Iβm feeling so over it too. One of my best friends just sent me a positive pregnancy test yesterday, and itβs SO hard to be happy for her. Selfish, I know.
What a cute gender announcement! Love it!
-
@skinnycow: Iβm sorry! Iβm going to try to do the same next month too. Itβs not worth the stress or money spent. I only made it to 9dpo too.
-
@skinnycow: @Jessiemuller88:
Thank you, ladies. While I am also sad for both of you, and I REALLY have been pulling for you both to get a BFP; it is true that misery loves company.
I, sincerely, don't know how much longer I can track OV (OPTs), track my BBT, check my cervix and CM, DTD on-schedule, POAS, take meds (including Clomid), and go to OB-GYN appts. I'm heading on to TTC Cycle #33 and this is sucking the life out of me! I have tried "trying," not trying, casually trying, tracking, using Eastern medicine, using Western medicine, hips up, hips down, every position in the D*mn Kamasutra, exercising more, exercising less, eating organic and herbal, eating more protein to raise iron, adding Vitex, removing Vitex, getting hubby checked (again), HSG ..... I mean, C'MON!!! -
@Kaohinani: I'm sorry. I think anyone would feel the same after almost 3 years of trying. Hopefuly it will happen for you soon
-
@Kaohinani: @skinnycow: @Jessiemuller88: I'm still rooting for y'all! I know how crappy it is though when all the signs point towards AF coming.
So I met my "nephew" saturday, and he is just too precious. My son on the other hand was not about mom taking care of another baby. I woke up this morning with sore muscles not knowing what the heck I did to get them, and then remembered all of the perpetual motion that comes with holding an infant. My body is screaming at me what the hell are you doing to us woman!?
5 dpo and not feeling any symptoms either way.
-
@Sams Mom: I'm happy for you.
Hopefully, if this can't be my month, let us hope it is yours. -
@Kaohinani: because misery does love company, are you jumping back on the clomid train if you don't get your
this month?
-
@Sams Mom: According to the doc - After 13 dpo is normal-lateish for a BFP if you have ovulated early and have already gotten a BFN (on a 10 miu test). I KNOW I'm OUT.
My OBGYN has me scheduled to, but he had REALLY thought that [if I had any issues] the HSG would have flushed me out so he assumed I probably wouldn't have to. If I choose to go back on it, he wants me to start back up with Clomid 50 (again). At this point, IDK if it is worth it. I can't seem to get pregnant with it or without, so, does it really matter? -
@Kaohinani: I've read a lot of anecdotal evidence that women achieve pregnancy within the first 2-3 cycles after an HSG. I would think (not being a doctor or anything) that the Clomid could be helpful to you because your cycles lengthen out with it.
-
@Sams Mom: Hopefully, the HSG DOES help.
I can't do this much longer. In the case of Clomid: Perhaps, but the majority of scholarly research studies on use of the efficacy of Clomid on cycles and the extention of cycle length utilize subjects with PCOS, and those with anovulatory cycles. Unexplained infertility subjects ( and especially secondary infertility) are [usually] excluded as the cause for infertility has been undetermined, can be caused by multiple unstable variants, and/or may be a catalyst for an inconclusive report. With many cases of unexplained infertility, Clomid can actually cause anovulatory cycles, as well as, increase the Follicular phase but decrease the Luteal phase. So far, with me - it has not caused an anovulatory cycle (*knocks on wood*) and it lengthens both the F and L phases to 28-32 days from my normal 23-25. IDK. It's a crap shoot. I'm exhausted.@Mamabear87: Thank you, hun. It absolutely does. And it puts my, normally "chipper" self in a bit of a sullen and sh*tty mood.
-
@Kaohinani: sorry about the negative. Not getting pregnant sucks so so much!
-
@Kaohinani: @Jessiemuller88: @skinnycow: hugs to you ladies!
@Sams Mom: 3 dpo over here and in tww hell with you!
-
@starlitsky: The only symptom I'm really getting is my ovaries still hurt sometimes... I'm slightly concerned about cysts this month.
@MamaBear87: How's it going for you?
-
@Sams Mom: itβs like we βforgetβ how tough having an infant is! I remember my whole body ached for 3 months after my son was born. Itβs exhausting! I hope this is your month! FX for you
-
@Sams Mom: oh no! Hoping for no cysts!
@MamaBear87: what dpo are you and how are you feeling??Just looked at our date list and noticed a few others also in tww with us:
@MDF106: 7/25
@Paranundrum: 7/25
@Lahela017: 7/29How are things going, ladies?
-
@Sams Mom: I'm good. Had an anxiety attack on Thursday and it always takes about a week to feel totally better so mostly just trying to feel better and not worry about being pregnant or not.
@starlitsky: I'm 5-6 dpo. Feeling normal but I don't usually have any weird lp symptoms
-
@MamaBear87: O no! I hope you get to feeling better quickly! This is going to sound totally weird, but maybe focusing on recouping after your anxiety attack (which is what you should do obviously, self care #1) will make for a faster TWW?
-
@starlitsky: Thank you. You are a sweetheart.
-
@Sams Mom: were in ca at my in laws on semi vacation so we've got lots going on
-
*Throws hands up in the air!*
Now I don't know what the heck is wrong with me!!!
Too much drama for me.
-
@MamaBear87: That's good you're on a trip and getting some down time.
Sooooo, crazy pants over here is over-analyzing the fact that it felt like my left ovary spasmed for like 30 seconds straight... I don't know what that would mean... but that's why I called myself crazy pants.
-
@Kaohinani: o man!!! so much conflicting evidence, ahhhhhhh.
, prayers 
this month?
