Good luck, ladies! -
@SamsMom: Where are you in your cycle? I've lost track since there was question about your Ov date earlier on...
-
@MsHangry: congratulations!! I have read that more than one chemical is very rare.
I think this is your baby!
-
@CatchAFallingStar: I'm so sorry
-
@MsHangry: Congratulations!!
-
@CatchAFallingStar: Iβm so sorry to hear this. Hugs.
-
@MsHangry: yayyyyy! Congrats! Looks great!
-
Iβm feeling more and more hopeful about this pregnancy. I just took another test and Iβm pleased with the progress so far! Top is 10dpo and bottom is 12dpo.
-
@Jessiemuller88: whoa thatβs quite a progression! Everything crossed for you!
-
@Mrs.Panda: Lol, you'd make bank! Hope you get your positive soon.
@Phillybaby2013: Thanks! Fingers crossed for you too.
@CatchAFallingStar: I'm so sorry. Sending you hugs.
@Jessiemuller88: Thank you! Your lines look amazing, lots of sticky vibes your way.
@MsHangry: Yay, congratulations!!!
-
@bhbee: thank you! Iβm still holding my breath, but Iβm feeling more positive this time.
-
@Jessiemuller88: love that progression ! Looking good
-
@yellowbeach: I'm CD 10 without much OPK progression; this is after a CD20 O last cycle!?
I might be taking a break for a bit to get my weight in control. I was gaining a lot quickly the last 6 months. I think a lot of it was stress at my old job, and this job is better; also my thyroid was getting a little crazy... I am finally maintaining with a slight loss, but if it doesn't pick up I'll probably take a couple months off to use some kind of meds π€·ββοΈ
-
@Jessiemuller88: hell yeah! That looks great!!!
-
@CatchAFallingStar: i am so so sorry to hear this
-
@MsHangry: congrats mama!!! Sending all my sticky vibes
-
@Jessiemuller88: beautiful lines!
-
Hanging out over here in this seemingly endless TTW. Mamas who use OPKs - if I had positive OPK mon night and tues am and pm, and weds am when would you think I Oed? Weds am if OPK was neg by tues night? Trying to figure out how many DPO to estimate I am.
Not feeling anything really in terms of symptom spotting and also pretty sure we donβt have a great chance this month since hubs was traveling, but whooooo knows...
-
@Sams Mom: You had a rough couple of months there on the job front. Would you try for a month without meds to keep TTC?
-
@MsHangry: I don't have an appointment for another week and a half to talk to my doctor about it, so I'll try this cycle. Depending on what he says I might not even get meds for it. My CBC a couple weeks ago at my annual turned out great except for a couple levels (slightly low Anion Gap π€·ββοΈ and a slightly elevated MPV, but he said everything was fine); so I have no clue what's going on.
-
@Jessiemuller88: That is looking great!
-
So the "Asshat Of The Day" award goes to my yesterday's bbt (clearly marked on my chart), that gave me false hope for a full 24 hours. Today's temp is down again and I had some cramping during the night and this morning.
It's 13dpo today and I don't think I have ever reached this far. I'm excpecting AF to start this evening or tomorrow. -
@paranundrum: Boo!
-
@paranundrum: damn BBT
-
@paranundrum: gah, so rude!
@Jessiemuller88: looks awesome! -
@paranundrum: that bastard!
So what's the game plan with your doctor for the next cycle?
-
@yellowbeach: @Mrs.Panda: @LAZB: @Sams Mom: I know, right?
There's no plan for the next cycle, we're still collecting data, but we'll probably have a plan for the one after that.
I have given allll the blood needed already, my SO has an appointment on Monday and my next appointment in two and a half weeks, when all the results are in and we can make a plan. So nothing certain yet, but at least things are somewhat in motion.Also weird this (last) cycle - I had absolutely no spotting prior to AF. I always have spotting, last cycle I started spotting on 9dpo, it's 14dpo today and AF just marched in, what's up with that? I am thankful I temp though, I would have been so hopeful and so crushed if I didn't see it coming, this cycle being different than usual, I would have thought I was pregnant for sure.

Hereβs the state of the union this morning
-
@Sams Mom: I thought of you yesterday as the battery finally died in my pregnancy test. I hope you are well!
-
@MamaBear87: you know the battery dying in mine happened right before I had Sam! (I know it was a c section, but it died the day before! the Ava is still trucking
I'm doing good, the new job is so much better than the last, I'm less stressed. Just having the constant existential crisis that is, should I accept a family of 3 and prevent, accept a family of 3 and welcome a surprise (I'm scared of a 5+ year age gap), or keep the crazy train going
-
@Sams Mom: I have no idea when it died. I looked at it yesterday and the screen was blank but haven't looked at it for awhile
Whatever makes you feel the most at peace. But sometimes I don't think you really know until you make a decision. And an age gap is just a difference in family structure I wouldn't sweat it
-
So I have a getting close ish to positive (2 days out from the look of it) OPK, no fertile CM, and a half assed temp rise. π€·ββοΈ
-
Pretty sure I'm out and feeling super bummed. Negative at 10dpo today, my temp was down today and have had hints of spotting. I was so hopeful. Guess I should pick up an extra bottle of prosecco (or two) for the brunch I'm hosting on Sunday.
-
@Phillybaby2013: sounds like a decent backup plan π€·ββοΈ
-
@Phillybaby2013: 10DPO is still early, but Prosecco sounds pretty good too
-
@paranundrum: ugh i'm sorry mama that blows
@Phillybaby2013: crossing fingers that by sunday you'll know the prosecco is off the table today is estimaed day 10 or 11 based on OPKs and BFN over here. my boobs seem a little sore, but they also did around this time last cycle, and nada soooo not gonna read into that. not feeling super hopeful about this cycle, but not out yet i guess.
-
Not much CM to speak of, waiting to take my OPK later, I haven't had a big temp dip like this since pre fertility meds. π€·ββοΈ

Happy Mother's Day to all Mamas, all the Mommy's to be, to the Mom's of lost babies, Mums to rainbows, and all those who are trying ...
Update on me. Another cycle I am OUT. One cyst resolved and the other grew another .5 mm. (So over 3 mm.). Also, due to being on BC, I am not having "AFs" so blood is pooling in my uterus. Onto the fun stuff-
They ran tests and P4 was 0.3 but my E2 was elevated at 269. So, one of 3 things:(1.) I never ovulated THAT ovum 2.5 mos ago with my trigger [but I did it's "sister" which also filled with fluid for 2 mos] and it is still is an "active" follicle but after so long would produce SERIOUSLY genetically abnormal offspring. (2.) Second, I ovulated [as proved by the other cyst] and it filled with fluid but there was a NO active ovulation with the 2nd ova even if temps, trigger, or strips indicated ovulation and scans illuminated TWO follicles but fluid closed in before the slow egg could emerge OR (3) It is a precancerous growth [*pending further testing] ... I have had such news before and it was nothing so until it is "something," I am refuse to put stock in it. I find out more about my "fertility future" this week and meet with my RE on the 21st. At this point, I have been told that after 3 years trying and with a cyst that may need to be surgically removed, I should count my chances for another blessing null and void. (* I found this out Friday and cried 2 days. I am "nearly" copacetic at the moment.) With that stated, you all have a profound place in my heart but I do have to "step away" until I know whether or not I will be back on the POAS boards. (*I I love seeing the BFPs and I am TRULY happy for everyone but I am finding myself close to crying because over 3 years with so many issues seems cruel). This all has been tremendously painful for me. I am hoping to return with amazing positivity and stellar news.Off of me-
To those who have conceived: Congratulations!
To those hoping: Best of luck
and my thoughts and prayers are with you!To those who miscarry, I have felt your pain and can not come up with any words that would ameliorate the pain. My heart goes out to you.
To those with infertility - keep plugging away. Miracles happen every day. Accept it will take longer, but know it will mean everything to you when it does come to fruition (10 fold!).
So much love to all of my friend-bees,
Kaohinani -
@Kaohinani: mother effer
I'm sorry. I miss you so much, but totally get stepping back for a while longer. I hope everything has the best results possible for you. Happy mother's day lady.
Good luck, ladies!
