Hellobee Boards

This morning, I (figuratively) threw out the BBT. I might OPK the two days I usually get a positive but otherwise I'm just not caring the rest of this cycle. I don't even know if I want to continue with the acupuncture at this point...

@littlek: No, no, I'm okay! Was down a bit over the weekend and had some blowups with DH... So I'm trying to just not obsess the same way for the rest of this cycle. I'm Oing pretty regularly so I don't see a point in temping to confirm. So we'll keep up a good schedule this weekend when I should be Oing and go from there... I need to make him and us a bit more of a priority and not future LO

@littlek: @LindsayInNY: temping totally stressed me out!

@littlek: @MrsMcD: I've been doing it for almost a year and a half now that it's kinda become second nature. But, at the same time, I don't know if there's really a point to continuing to do it. I know I'm ovulating so what else do I stand to gain? This is the last cycle on our own anyways so I don't have much to lose by stopping!

@Crystal: I am so jealous of your beautiful chart! Lol, it is just so perfect... FX!

@mrs. tictactoe: I once ovulated on CD11 the very first cycle I started using OPKs. Also, if you are still getting positives, how do you know you have ovulated?

Catching up today. Weekends are a mad house at my place.

@Crystal: Great chart!! The little I know about charts... I know that's a good one! Fx! Bummer on the BFN ... try a FRER!

@littlek: Yes please move me... I think I'm now April 18th. Though I have been reading this morning that a late LH surge means AF is suppose to show up 1-2 days afterwards... and it's been 4 days... and not AF yet I was kind of hoping for that because it would put my cycle in an actual reasonable range.

@Torchwood: @AmeliaBedilia: @Kelli_Deluxe: Thanks for the support!

@mrs. tictactoe: OPKs are sooo stressful! Keep testing though. Good luck!

@Raindrop: What a state of limbo!?!?! I hope youve got some good BDing in. That's all you can, right? Except keep testing if you are into that.

@Raindrop: I think I am going to grab a FRER later. I have something tonight and tomorrow after work, so I kind of want to put off more testing until I can be home to celebrate with DH.

Ugh, I hate when O is late! How long is your LP usually? Are you temping to confirm ovulation?

@mrs. tictactoe: Get down girl, lol.

@MrsMcD: Eek! You are getting close to your POAS date!

@septca: I was just thinking about you this morning and how much I missed you! Big hugs, the slump and sadness at 6 months are awful. You have great timing this month, and I am super hopeful for you!

Are you doing a medicated cycle this time? Or do you have plans on the horizon for that?

@septca: I really like this thread because everyone is kind of the same boat trying for kind of a long time.

Just found out 2 of my co-workers are pregnant 4-5 months along each. I am really happy for them... both first kid... and one has been TTCing for 5 years but at the same time can't help but wish it was me!

@septca: Hi lady. I know the slump feeling. I've been in a bit of a slump myself for a few months. But BDing is the best thing you can do and it seems you've got that down this month.

@Raindrop: Its tough to have pregnant coworkers. I can't even imagine. Stay strong, lady. Your time will come!

@septca: Ugh, been there. I had to quit participating on the regular POAS thread because I couldn't handle people wanting to jump off a bridge for not being KU the first cycle. (I understand that's just me being bitter, and they are entitled to their feelings.)

Yay for great timing!!!

Do you have eggs frozen from last time, or do you need to do the whole process? (I hope this isn't an offensive question, I am just starting to learn about the process. Please let me know if I crossed a line.)

@littlek: *hugs* The 5-year TTCer announced last week. I was actually very very happy for her because she had a lot of struggles that she was sharing with me over the last 2 years we have been co-workers. The other one was today and it was kind of out of no where. I don't know her story... but two in a roll is hitting harder than I thought it would!

@littlek: And now you can join them!!

@MrsMcD: LOL!

I feel guilty for expressing that, so I'm glad I wasn't judged too harshly!

I just figured out that if I am KU, my EDD is Dec 18th.

That is the day before we were going to announce to our families when I got the BFP last year. That is a good sign, right?

@MrsMcD: and @Crystal: I need to be in a bitterness-accepted land right now. I saw an announcement today and another post about just *knowing* you're pregnant - and both just made me want to cry. Like you said, they are entitled to that, I know this is all about me.

@LindsayInNY:
(I just wanted to meh you because I am so excited that I can now. )

@Crystal: No worries. I am offended by nothing TTC-related here. I never made it to IVF the first time. After my surgery, my doctor gave us 6 months (really 3 tries because one of my sides is worthless) to try naturally before suggesting we move to IVF to preserve whatever fertility I had left. We were very lucky to get KU the first cycle I O'ed from the good side, so we don't think we have any other fertility issues besides my endo. I thought this time would be a breeze because of that... but nope. This is the first cycle DD has been completely weaned, that I have a "normal" cycle, and that I am O'ing from the good side... so FX that we will be lucky again.

@littlek: Yes! I agree 100%. Esp for a newbie like me, the other group boards are overwhelming!

@Crystal: I think that's a VERY good sign! Fx!

@septca: Yay for your bd'ing "schedule!" Positive vibes your way that you catch that egg!

Also, can I join the bitter board?

Tested "for fun" this morning, bfn as expected. It's 12dpo. I had some spotting this afternoon, which I'm telling myself not to read to much into.... Ohhhh progesterone.

@Kelli_Deluxe: Oh darn.... bfn on 12dpo. I was thinking of testing tomorrow at 12dpo. That sucks. But don't rely too much on that test. Its stilllllllllllll early!
