Hey ladies, I have missed a ton this last week as I've been MIA. After bfn I decided to avoid anything baby related for a few days. I'm currently waiting to O. Should come late next week meaning I will be POAS in April. Trying not to think about things this cycle. Not used OPKs yet. Trying to be 'relaxed' about it.
@HolisticMama: sorry you are feeling like this. It isn't ideal to be at a baby shower when you feel sad but it is normal to feel upset and dare I say it, jealous. It's totally fine! I am Glad we don't have baby showers in England really as I have some pregnant friends who i love but am avoiding a little at the moment. That makes me sound cruel!
@snowjewelz: hope your are having lots of ' fun' today with your O!! Fx. We will be TWW buddies again hopefully!
-
12 dpo and
. Any small amount of optimism I had is pretty much gone at this point. I've also been sick all weekend 
-
@Radish: But AF is not here yet! Don't give up hope!
@Mrs.Lilac: Thanks! I'm glad you made the decision to stay away from TTC obsession after BFN... I hope that being more relaxed this cycle will make BFP happen!
I hope I did O... FMU OPK is fading out but my temp is not really consistent with O... We are just gonna BD again today. I only have 1 OPK left lol.
-
@Radish: double whammy. Sorry
-
@Kbee: update??? Fx!!!
-
@snowjewelz: yay!!! I got my first positive OPK for this cycle yesterday. Cycle buddy!
-
Yay for @snowjewelz @littlek and @luv2beamom O'ing!!! So happy for all of you!
Well, I woke up to AF's arrival this morning, so I didn't need to test. I'm trying so hard to be positive, but it seems like my body was playing such a horrible trick on me with AF 4 days late. Since we had a chemical last month I was hopeful we could conceive again quickly, but no such luck. Thanks for your encouragement, everyone
I'll be O'ing in 21 days, so will be POAS'ing late April!
-
I'm baaaack!!! Anniversary cruise was great, And didn't start my cycle until the last day thank God! After missing this past cycle due to DH travelling, we are going b**** to the wall this month! Potential Christmas Eve due date?!? Who cares, lets get those boots a knockin.
missed you girls!!!!
-
@Kbee: Nooo boooo to AF! I am SO sorry to hear. I know its extra hard with AF being late
I'm making the April POAS on Monday so everyone can gear up! Lots of hugs and love 
@littlek: Woohoo! That's so great that we got our positives the same day! Did you test today? I did with FMU and it's faded a bit already

@Radish: aww I'm sorry honey. Sickness and BFN suck. You aren't officially out but I know 12 dpo can feel pretty official. Plan something nice for yourself.
@Kbee: aw I'm so sorry honey. I hope April is you lucky month
@Radish: thanks for keeping up with the board. My son is up all night nursing so I haven't been sleeping much.
I feel pretty out this month too. I'm 5DPO and still have creamy cm which can be a good sign but I just don't feel like this was our month. Again all the vigorous night nursing makes me think my hormones won't be able to sustain a pregnancy. Hopefully I'm wrong. Next month I may have to get more hard core about night weaning but I'm really hoping to get those molars to break through first. One is SO close. We shall see.
Good luck everyone! I want to see some more BfPs on here
-
I'm still peeing on things, but not much new to report. Same old
hcg stick. Same old confusing LH stick. It faded out to an almost invisible ghost of line AM & PM yesterday, then this morning the test line is clear and dark again (though clearly not positive). I think that I have had more sex in the last 3 weeks than in the prior three months. On the upside, I think the more frequent sex has been good for my relationship with sweetie. And, I've found that I'm enjoying it more than I expected I would -- even when I'm feeling tired or grumpy. Hoping that soon we can keep this up just because we want to rather than because we need to though.
-
@lilyofthewest: not sure if this true for you, but for me, my OPKs get dark before AF.
-
Thanks everyone.
@ DC yoga bee: I love your positive attitude! If I O when I expect to and conceive, my EDD would be 12/28! We didn't want a Christmas baby, but we'll sure take it if we can get it!
@Radish: Sorry for the BFN. The wait is so hard!
-
@lilyofthewest: that's wonderful you are getting so much quality time in! I might be remembering incorrectly but did you recently go off bc? I experienced a significant increase in my sex drive when I took my mirena out and i still notice a difference. It's definitely improved our relationship!
-
@lilyofthewest: DH complains that we only have sex 5x in a row once a month! Whoops, I'm pretty tuckered out for a while after a bd storm. This month I'm going to suggest every other day starting day 8, so he doesn't know when it's fertile week, and still feels like we are having sexy time just to have sexy time. I'm not sure we can pull it off, but it would be a win win!
I'm sitting at the airport waiting for our flight, and I just realized my luetal phase was 12 days this time! It is normally 10 days. The only thing I did differently was cut down on the gluten, and lost 5lbs. I always have a 26-29 day cycle, but short lp. I have mmmm 15 okay 20lbs to lose, and started running again last cycle. I don't know if the two extra days to my lp were due to weight loss, less gluten, or travel, but I intend to continue the cardio (of course I hurt my foot running, so I'll be on the elliptical) and cutting back on gluten. I tried to eat a salad with every meal on the cruise, no seconds, and didn't overeat any meal. I still enjoyed myself, but don't feel super bloated coming back home
I soo want this next month to be the lucky one!
-
@littlek: Hmm, that's good to know. I've been googling LH progression pics trying to scout for any patterns similar to mine, but hadn't run across much. If I had a real, successful ovulation when the pee sticks said I did, I should be bleeding by Tuesday at the latest. If on Tuesday I still have no period, and no hcg
, then it'll be clear that I'm still waiting to ovulate.@anyajenkins: yup, I got my Mirena out 3 weeks ago -- which is part of what's making interpreting this "cycle" so confusing. I haven't had a period since 2005.
I have noticed a little uptick in sex drive, but nothing major. Not sure if it is a real physiological change related to pulling the Mirena, or situational interest related to trying to get knocked up. Mostly I've just been noticing that sex ends up being enjoyable and bonding for sweetie and I even if I wasn't really in the mood to start with.
@DC yoga bee: fingers crossed for you that this next month is it for you. Sounds like you're doing really well with health promoting changes. I'm finding it easier to make more healthful choices with the goal of getting preggers and being in better health during pregnancy than I was ever motivated to be just on its own merits.
-
@dc yoga bee: congrats on the longer LP! That's great news! Welcome back. I have a good feeling for you next month
@lilyofthewest: I have the same thing happen often where I am surprised by how enjoyable our sex turns out even when I am less enthused going in.
-
@snowjewelz: I don't know what you want to do but I started this thread in the middle of last month so that rollovers who were bored or gearing up to O could start entering their stats and have support. Perhaps an April board soon?
-
Almost done bleeding with this chemical
so big fat for me this month. Will call ob on Tuesday to discuss seeing an re. Boo. -
@mrs bunchy:
I forgot. Much your way.
-
@mrs bunchy: aww honey I am so sorry!
-
@MrsMccarthy: Yep I'm gonna start it tomorrow!
@mrs bunchy:
I'm so sorry! Feel better soon @lilyofthewest: I feel the same way! If we are not TTC we would not be DTD this much!
-
@mrs bunchy: I'm sorry.
@dc yoga bee: Welcome back! Just in time for *more* snow! I am so glad that you had a great time.
@everyone else: Thinking of all of you. Seems like there are a lot of us just hanging out in the TWW.
I am 6 DPO and have nothing except a raging headache and emotions. It's day 1 of two weeks of solo parenting and I think I may be one step from the nut house already. Is it bedtime yet (not for me, for the little)??? Because I think I am having wine and Cherry Garcia and a "Scandal" marathon for dinner.
ETA: Does the HB "wonder feature" of going straight to the last post read not work for anyone else for this thread? It *mostly* works for me in general, but never for this thread.
-
As expected, my test was
this morning. I'll call my doc's office tomorrow for Provera. I'll hang onto it for a little while before starting it. I have a business trip mid-April, so I'm going to try to avoid Oing while I'm gone. There is a chance my period will start on it's own before I take the Provera, but I doubt it. Not sure if I'll actually POAS in April or if it will be early May. I guess time will tell! GL everyone! Ready for some more good news on this board!
-
@septca: ugh single parenting plus snow equals wine
-
@septca: oh man! Solo parenting is kind of my life hahah. I feel your pain. I'm 5DPO and I think this is the most annoying time. The first 10 days past ovulation are such an annoying limbo. Second only to waiting for ovulation. Enjoy the wine and Cherry!
-
Aghhhhhh, make the snow go away!!!
-
Alright ladies, I'm back! I went off into the Ether while on AF, but now I'm on CD 12 and starting to use my OPKs, so I'm back into TTC mode!
-
April POAS thread is up! April mama's to be, go check in!
FF has not confirmed O for me, maybe my temps are weird. So I'm not sure what DPO I'd be at if I got my positive OPK on Sat. I'll just follow LITTLEK & LUV2BEAMOM for now...
I guess this is good because I don't feel like I started TWW yet!
-
@septca: solo parenting is so hard. Doing it for 2 weeks is insane! I did 2 weeks once while my hisband was away for woke but at least it was good weather!!
. Any small amount of optimism I had is pretty much gone at this point. I've also been sick all weekend 
I'll be O'ing in 21 days, so will be POAS'ing late April!
missed you girls!!!!
, then it'll be clear that I'm still waiting to ovulate.
