Hellobee Boards

Ooook so seriously my DH is complaining about getting lucky too often? REALLY?? Has anyone had their partner complain about that? It's not like I'm jumping him 8 times a day!

@amreis: @beetones: yay! Thanks! It's been a long time coming - finally had +opks at cd31 and 32 it's been a long unpredictable cycle. Ah to have a normal cycle that is less than 30 days would be a dream!

@babycanuck: I think DH is secretly thinking that, but also enjoying it! P.S. is anyone else really enjoying this postathon b/c it's giving them something else to think about other than how many days left until you can POAS??

@Cara M. 17: omg I didn't even realize it was the postathon I'm on vacation right now and just taking a little snooze break in the hotel and just decided to browse HB I always miss the postathon! Have to admit though, now that I'm in the tww it's hard to think about anything else! Tomorrow I head home and it will be even crazier trying to keep myself distracted!

@chibee: Lucky you! Where are you vacationing? This is my first TWW which is probably why it is so agonizing. Not expecting to get a BFP our first try, but still hopeful and can't wait to know either way!

@chibee: Oh wow I am from PA! That trip sounds amazing. Not very nice weather here right now either. Thanks so much for the FX! I am ~3 DPO today (I don't use OPK or temp so that's my best guess based on charting AF and CM for the last year). I'm trying to hold out until the 17th (12 DPO) but may try on the 16th also.

@Cara M. 17: I am 2 dpo! We should try to hold out until at least 12 dpo you are right. But realistically the best I can do is prob 9 dpo but I'm going to try hard! I chart and use opks but I stopped temping while on vacation so I just had to guess according to my opks. Now let the time fly by!

@ash: I haven't experienced that OBs aren't willing to do tests. I think that calling the other OB group would be a good idea. REs do cost money out of pocket often. Check with your insurance provider about if they cover infertility and if so, what you have to do in order for them to cover it (often it's having tried so long and a referral from your doctor). My insurance didn't cover any of it, but it was SO worth the money out of pocket.

@mrscastro: As for your Kaiser insurance, I just googled and they do have a few owned fertility clinics, so there's a chance you could just need a referral by your provider, but usually Kaiser wants to do the lowest cost option, so you may have to pay out of pocket to go a faster route.

@chibee: I'm with ya! Had what I think was a positive OPK yesterday on CD48. Yikes! (Ps - Yaaay NJ!)

@LindsayInNYC: don't know how much you make, but FYI, the child tax credit phases out at some point, unfortunately.

@LindsayInNYC: I know, super bummer.

@Sugar.Biscuit: It does look similar to your February chart! Unless that lower February temp was a fluke for some reason?

@Sugar.Biscuit: Wow, CD 7 and you might be Oing? How maddening. I was going to ask if you could just be getting sick or slept with your mouth open or something, but if you O'd last month on CD 9, I guess 7 isn't that far off. I hope you and DH are able to BD!

@LindsayInNYC: Yay for a + OPK! Although you must have incredible patience to wait 48 days to see a +!

I'm 11 DPO today and it's been a weird TWW. First of all, I never saw a + OPK, although I think that might have been because we were out of town the weekend before I O'd. Then I met with the RE and he did a vag. ultrasound and told me I looked three DPO. And, he said I had ovulated three eggs! So that was great that he thought I really had O'd this month.

However, since then I have not had any sore boobs, which I always have during the TWW! Usually by now I'm starting to get emotional/PMSy too and I'm not really feeling that either. I've tested the last three days and all BFN, of course. But I still feel a little hopeful that since this cycle feels different, maybe we'll have a different result. Yesterday I had some terrible pinching pain really really low down, so if that was somehow implantation cramps I guess I should be able to get a positive in a couple days. We'll see. If AF shows up, we'll go forward with some more testing that the RE ordered for my prolactin levels and then meet with him to discuss when we should start IVF. I'm still hoping it will be a moot point though and I'll get a BFP.

Hey ladies...so I'm 9DPO today and I'm feeling eerily similar to how I felt in the days leading up to my last BFP. This is our first month TTC after our MC in December so I don't have my hopes up that I'll get a BFP right away but a little voice inside of me is telling me I'm pregnant. Maybe it's just wishful thinking. I did POAS stick this morning but I know it was WAAAAY to soon....wasn't suprised with my BFN that I got! lol!

I did get a second temp jump today...from 98.6 to 98.8. So would that mean my chart just went triphasic? I'm also feeling hungover this morning which is exactly how I felt in the 2 days leading up to my BFP. I mean...I did have 1.5 glasses of wine last night but that's never enough to make me feel hungover. I've had subtle cramps for the past few days and my hips just ache. Also have had SUPER vivid dreams for the past 2 nights which was a symptom I had last time.

I don't know! I'm trying not to symptom spot or over analyze...but like I said something inside of me is just saying I'm pregnant! I guess we'll see in the next few days.

@whatsarahsaid: Those symptoms sound great. I'm hoping you get good news in a couple days!

@mrs. bird: Thanks! And woo hoo for Oing! Aww, I hope you have a little snow birdie baby!

@Sugar.Biscuit: Just wanted to warn you that early ovulation like yours can often mean your eggs aren't fully developed before they release, meaning that its hard to get pregnant. Good news is it's probably just a low estrogen level. You might ask your doctor to run cd3 bloodwork just to make sure. I don't mean to alarm, you could still get pregnant, but just wanted you to have the information just in case.

@marionberry: I have low progesterone & stopped taking my supplement at CD 25 last cycle and started my period right away so it wouldn't surprise me if my estrogen was low as well.

Well, 11 DPO here and absolutely itching to test! I had a pretty good temp dip 7 DPO and was awaken that morning by one giant stabby twinge about 6:00am. I've had a slight pinching/cramping sensation in the same spot periodically ever since - hoping that's a good thing! I'm trying to hold out until tomorrow, and it's super hard to focus at work today!

@mrs. bird Woohoo for O! Get it, get it!

@fussygal: I had cramping off and on from ovulation, through implantation and definitely through the first few weeks of pregnancy. I really hope it's a good sign for you!
