@HolisticMama: Nah, I'm doing everyday. If I had a consistent cycle I would do it differently. I don't want to look back and wish we had just done it that one other day, though. No regrets.
@ABCmrs: From CD 11- CD 17 mine all looked a lot like littlek's.
-
@littlek: i never learned to be patient
I also spent a lot of money on HPTs.
-
@runnerd: hahahhaha it's probably more of its easier for me to stay optimistic if I don't test
-
@littlek: Good luck!
-
@Adira: it sounds to me like your body keeps gearing up to O but O is being suppressed because your hormones are out of balance. This is a very common pattern for nursing mommas. I have read that aside from B6 and vitex you can also try mixing it up just a day or two with LOs schedule and that can be enough to bring on O. Can you chane something around a bit or have your hubs put Xander to bed without Nursing a night or two? You may want to wait for the next cycle though because the egg might not be a healthy egg with so much time between now and O. Ive seen women have long cycles and O late with a healthy baby though so dont lose heart. Wishing you luck.

@Radish: wish I could get my man on board with every day but he is too tired and to be frank so am I!
Damnit can't we all just get pregnant so we dot have to keep having sex with our husbands!!!!
Kidding of course but sometimes it does feel that way. My husband is a sexy sexy man and he knows how to please me but all this pressure is too much.
-
@littlek: I totally get that. Nothing is more disheartening in ttc than a stark white BFN. The suspense it hard though.
-
Okay ladies I need your eyes! Took this this morning with SMU. Today is expected AF and I was checking my cervix and my finger had a little brown/dark red on it. Nothing in my underwear though. I took the test anyway. I see it and DH sees it, but shouldn't it be darker by now?? Freaking out!!!
-
@MrsHansen82: I can't decide if I just want to see it, but I think I see the faintest of something in the first picture. I don't see anything in the second. Definitely test again in the morning with FMU.
-
@MrsHansen82: My first test with DD was a lot like that. Couldn't really see it in a picture but could in person (with pink). I'm betting tomorrow will give you a more noticeable line.
-
@MrsHansen82: I think I see something but i would definitely test again with FMU tomorrow and let us know!!
-
@MrsMccarthy: Thanks, hon! I'm going to be pump weaning this month, so if this cycle doesn't do anything for me, hopefully I have better chances next cycle!
@MrsHansen82: I MIGHT see something... or my eyes might be playing tricks on me! I'm not sure!
-
@MrsHansen82: I feel like I see the faintest shadow but I can't be sure.
-
@MrsHansen82: I definitely see something! My early ones were so faint that they wouldn't have even shown in a picture at that stage, so I would't worry about that if you can manage it. Congratulations!
-
@MrsHansen82: oh and I want to add FX! I hope I am seeing what I think I am.
-
@BakerBee: @Radish: @bushelandapeck: @Adira: @MrsMccarthy: @Torchwood: Thanks ladies, I'm pretty much totally going crazy inside. I was dumb enough to take it right before a huge meeting with my boss. That's happening in two hours and I'm now regretting my decision. I am so anxious for tomorrow morning. And still really hoping AF doesn't come today.
-
@MrsHansen82: Oh my ! I wish I could hit fast forward so we could see with FMU! Take some time to enjoy the pure and unadulterated hope! It's pretty exciting stuff!!
-
@MrsHansen82: That was the one reason I always regretted testing early! I hated the day AF was due. Never showed though, and I hope it's the same for you!
-
@MrsHansen82: I can't tell.. I'd say retest... Fx!!!
-
Whew I've missed a lot. Cheering everyone on this month. Maybe we will be back in the game next month! DH is travelling again,during fertile week next cycle! I said what the heck, and signed up for a half marathon in May. Good way to force myself into better nutrition and drop some weight! I started running last week and lost 5lbs already!
-
Booo I was shoveling the driveway and started spotting.. I think I brought on early AF :(. I'm only 10 DPO.
-
@dc yoga bee: which one? Charlottesville?
-
@littlek: boo! Aww sorry, that's one thing I miss about being pregnant, not seeing Aunt Flo!
-
@MrsMccarthy: I would love a little break from the stress of TTC sex
Maybe just some good old fashioned for the fun of it sex when I want to, not because I have to!@MrsHansen82: I see it in the second photo! Def. test again with fmu tomorrow!
@dc yoga bee: congrats on the weight loss!
@littlek: sorry
-
@MrsHansen82: I see a shadow in the first picture! Congratulations!
-
@dc yoga bee: Fingers crossed for you, lady. And GO GIRL on the half! You'll rock it.
-
Still no AF today...but I was crampy this morning so I think she's on the way. I have no idea what to expect because I didn't get my OPKs in the mail until late in my cycle. Yesterday, I got a pretty dark OPK and a BFN on FRER. And today is cycle day 35. (Pre-MC, cycles were 35-36 days.) So, we'll see what happens. My miscarriage cycle I didn't get a positive until CD41, which always seemed bizarre to me, and I worried that that had something to do with my MC. So, I'm trying not to google late implantations issues, etc. This crap makes me crazy! Thanks for letting me vent!
-
@mfa_lady: I would be going crazy, too! FX
-
@Radish: Thanks, girl. I appreciate the commiseration! I never minded my 35-day cycle pre-TTC....it was like "Woo-hoo! No period!" and now I basically have a breakdown about it every month. Ha!
-
@MrsHansen82 -said it in other board but I can defiantly see it on the second picture! Fx. I'm very excited for you!
This two weeks of torture is driving me mad. I have so much resect for long time ttc ladies. Only have 2days before I POAS but every time i go to the toilet, i see my stash of pee sticks and I'm tempted. Must restrain myself!!!
-
@Mrs.Lilac: I feel the same, I'm fighting testing until tomorrow
-
@littlek: praying that its pregnancy spotting! I know you spotted with your son you said. FX
-
@MrsMccarthy: thank you for your positive thoughts!
-
@littlek: It's not over until it's over!!! Keeping my fingers crossed for you!
-
@littlek: is spotting at 10 dpo normal for you?
-
@BakerBee: no. I normally have at least 12 day LP.
-
@littlek: I thought that was the case.. very strange. I still have my fingers crossed! Spotting doesn't necessarily mean out.. I think enough ladies on these boards have taught us that
!
-
@littlek: FWIW, my first "sign" was that I started spotting at 8/9 DPO. My typical LP is 12 days. Obviously I'm still verrrrry early in the process, but I'm guessing (for me) that that spotting was/is implantation. I'm still having it. SO hope it's the same for you!
-
@MrsHansen82: You have more will power than I:-). I def have gone through a box (or two. Or three) of FRERs since Friday. I know they are expensive, but I couldn't help myself:-)
-
@Crystal: Just saw this! Thank you so much! Actually saw my internist today (and set up an appointment with my OB for the end of March-goodness I hope I'm still KU at that point!). Internist did a urine test and declared it negative. Cue my heart dropping in my shoes. She then said that the tests I got (which I brought with me-oh yes, I brought 3 FRERs to my internist. Feel free to judge me!) were likely "false positives," or that I was miscarrying. Isn't that fun? As she's saying that, her nurse walks in to tell her my urine test was "slightly positive." Awesome. She sent me down for a blood test "just in case," which was....positive. No numbers were given to me (I put in an email to ask), but positive is-POSITIVE. FX!! Yes, still spotting...it was less for almost the entire day and now at night it's here again. It's "slight" (mostly only notice it when I wipe, not even on a pad), but still makes me a little nervous. OB's nurse said no sex until it stops. Poor DH!
Thanks again for asking.
How goes your TWW??
I also spent a lot of money on HPTs.
