@ambular1025: Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!! I'm so sorry!!!!!
-
@jojogirl: Thanks for the sentiment! Temps took a downward fall today so AF is probably near.
@Aprilshowers and @spaniellove: it looks like we all aren't doing so well in chartvillle. My heart goes out to both of you! At least we're in it together.
-
@ambular1025: Yeah, I've had these dips before. I have no idea why I get the same dip around 11-12dpo, but I'm 100% sure I'm out.
-
@ambular1025 and @spaniellove: Yup, BFN's here and big temp drops. I am slightly bummed, but more excited that at least this month I know I am definitely out. I am feeling less disappointed this month than last that is for sure.
-
Oh... Ladies, I'm so, so sorry. I'm gutted for you.
-
@ambular1025: @April_Showers: @spaniellove: Sorry all
I'm out too... big drop and spotting at 8 and 9dpo which is just sooo lovely. I have a (self-diagnosed) LP defect, so I know I'm nearing the end of this cycle for me.
-
@Rachel: @April_Showers: @ambular1025: Thinking of opening a bottle of Sancerre tonight and will raise a glass to you ladies. It's funny that I didn't drink at all before TTC and this process has driven me to imbibe at the end of every cycle.
-
@spaniellove: haha right? I think it's because it's the only positive to come out of a negative
-
@Rachel: Yeah, at some point it's like I can eat whatever I want! I can drink whatever I want!
-
@spaniellove: I think a glass of wine tonight is definately in order for this girl! Between my BFN and my new bed now not being delivered on time (delayed a WEEK), I am feeling like it may be necessary.
-
@Rachel, @Spaniellove, @AprilShowers: I agree to that drinking thing! I drink a lot more now and drink a lot more coffee too due to being depressed than I did before lol. Yesterday we got a BFN and that night my mom called (who I have not said a word to about trying because I just didn't want to talk about it until there was a positive) and she asked if we were trying. I did my best to get through the conversation just saying that there was nothing to tell and yes we were trying unsuccessfully and when I got off the phone, huge waterworks! I think it was all the emotions I've been trying to bottle up over the past few months coming out at once. Poor DH..he has to handle my way too emotional self lately.
-
@Rachel: Have you seen a dr yet about your self-diagnosed LPD? My friend has also self-diagnosed her LPD (although she gets her period like 3 weeks out of 4, so it's probably more than that). She's going to see an OBGYN soon and I'll definitely share anything she learns if it's helpful to you.
-
@ambular1025: aw
I feel you on the waterworks... I had a total meltdown in the middle of the night last week - even woke up DH to cry to him.I have a dr's appointment next month to do some testing, so I hope that this will be the start of medication for me, and hopefully that will solve our issues. If she tells me to wait and see for longer I think I'll just go to an RE on my own... I don't think I can take more of this knowing that it's not going to work when my LP is like, 9 days. Definitely share what they tell her, and I'll do the same so you can relay it to your friend.
-
@ambular1025: That must have been such a difficult conversation!
@Rachel: Your dr should definitely address the LP...there has to be something causing it. Not only is it short but you've got spotting making it shorter.
Wait and see better NOT be their answer!
-
@Rachel: Thanks! That's why I love this community. We can all help each other out.
@Spaniellove: Ya it was a hard conversation and my mom could tell after a few minutes I didn't want to talk about it. She was like, ok I'll change the subject now, and I could tell she felt bad. She knows how much I've always wanted to be a mom.
On a side note, my SIL is pregnant (even though they said they were waiting 2 years) and scheduled her baby shower for the weekend right before my birthday. Now I get no family birthday celebration and I have to watch people ooh and aah over her future baby while I wish I had one. Makes me totally understand @anonysquire's feelings about her sister.
-
ok, so my first cycle off BCP lasted 40 days... NO sign of ovulation from what I could ever make out, but AF arrived last night. Not sure what to think (big temperature dip this morning), but I am resetting the clock and hoping for a more 'normal' cycle this time around!
-
@evenstar982: I wouldn't worry too much yet - I think it can take your body a while to regulate the hormones after you get off BCP. It's smart that your charting because you'll have a better idea of what's going on with your body. PS - I added you to my FF friends list
-
@ambular1025: I understand...my SIL is due in a month. They all just assumed we'd be the couple who sat by the side and sent gifts and money. We got a card that said they'd call as she went into labor, and we were like, WHY? Don't people text these days?
-
@evenstar982: I'm pretty sure had I charted that my first month would've been flat too since it went 28 days (like clockwork) and then the next cycle was only 23. It's good that you started charting early. I didn't until my 4th cycle.
@spaniellove: The texting comment is funny. Ya who calls nowadays? I'm certainly not calling people... -
@ambular1025: I don't even know what we would say in that conversation. "My wife is in labor." "Um, we'll just sit here and wait now and not do anything and think about how infertile we are."
-
Ladies, my heart breaks for you all. I wish one month we'd all get our BFPs and so we could move on together to due date posts. I'm still thinking of you all! I am on CD19 and as much as we are taking this month off we did start BDing last night and agreed to aim for everyother day until CD 32ish.
@spainiellove: I got a package today that made my day!!! Thank you so much for everything. I told my husband (who thinks I'm silly for talking to women on boards) that people IRL act like you're crazy for obsessing over trying. People IRL are never that nice! Thank you for the sweet note. I owe you big time!!
-
@ambular1025: That is an awkward conversation for sure. I haven't told anyone either and as it takes longer and longer, I get worried that someone will get up the nerve to ask. About your birthday, can you not have a birthday celebration for the weekend following your birthday? Go to a new restaurant or do something more celebrat-y?
@evenstar982: It's just an annovalatory cycle. It happens, and doesn't mean that anything is amiss.
@alison206: Wouldn't that be fun? Although the poor ladies that try to chart the month after we all left!
-
@alison206: Yay!!!! So happy that you got it! And that it put a smile on your face!
-
@Grace: @ambular1025: I was told my ILs don't want to do Thanksgiving together b/c SIL doesn't want to leave her house a month after the birth and wants both families to go over which they know we've always refused to do. (It's really awkward being the only childless couple being grilled by people we don't know about why we don't have a baby.) They're okay with us not being at Thanksgiving! Even though it's DH's (their son's) birthday. So I've offered to do a meal for his birthday that weekend and if SIL doesn't want to leave her house for her brother, that's fine with me.
-
@Grace: @alison206: oh how much I would love for us to all get BFPs in the same cycle!
-
@Grace: The following weekend is my young stepsister's bday (she'll be 7) so we'll be doing something for her and she cares much more about a bday than I do, so oh well. 27 is no big number haha.
@Alison206, @Grace, @Rachel: I would LOVE that, as we've all gone through this journey together, but I totally agree that we'd have to keep mentoring on this board for newbies, unless by then there are some oldies like us to take our place.
@Spaniellove: I hate when people assume that because they have a baby they can determine holidays, like they have a bigger stake in it now or something. If I was in her shoes I'd just assume they'd have thanksgiving without me, not make them come to me. And it's your DH's birthday, wow what a crappy situation. Great for you standing up for your DH with a dinner. That's what my DH does for me with my family. -
@ambular1025: Well I hope you still find a way to celebrate, because it's too easy to let life get swallowed up by this TTC thing!
@Rachel: @ambular1025: @Grace: @alison206: It would be so awesome! It's been helpful that we're all around a similar point but I'm totally ready for us to get a BFP now! Not sure how much longer I'll chart intensely but will definitely stick around here.
-
@ambular1025: Nerts! Well, how about if you and your hubby go out and get dressed fancy and eat something yummy?
-
@Grace: Nerts?! Have never heard this word before but it's awesome!
-
@spaniellove: Ha! I say it all the time and thought it was my own special word. Then I heard Homer say it on the Simpsons, so I must have picked it up subconsciously!
-
@Grace: That's what we decided to do, dinner just us at my fave restaurant. I'm so excited!
-
@ambular1025: Yea!!! I'm glad you could make your birthday special.
-
Umm guys..?!?!

Not testing yet, but things may have turned around
-
@ambular1025: WOOHOO!!! Are you going to test again?
-
@jojogirl: I think that if yesterday was my implantation dip I should wait for 2 days or so before testing again. By then I should be around my expected period date and we'll know one way or the other. I don't want to see a BFN because it's too early (if implantation then HCG takes a bit) and be depressed. But secretly really hopeful for some good news.
-
@ambular1025: Awesome!
-
@ambular1025: fingers crossed for you!!
-
@Spaniellove and @Strawberrybee: It can always turn the other way and drop in the next few days but thank you so much for the well wishes. I really appreciate it. I'll keep you all updated!
-
@Ambular1025: yes!!! i'll keep my fingers crossed for that ever elusive BFP!
-
@ambular1025: Fingers crossed!!!!!!
