Hellobee Boards

Hi ladies, I only just realised the October thread was up
Cycle number/months TTC: 14
Backstory: Have a 2 year old lo (who was concieved while on the pill, been trying for 14 months now, finally got pregnant back in June but miscarried.
CD: 21 (4dpo)
POAS date (if any): 24th October
Plan for this cycle: We had good timing this month thanks to opks (didn't use them last month)
What house project are you working on (if any): None! Just making shopping lists for xmas
Favorite thing about October: The weather is finally heating up here! I put up LO's paddling pool the other day which she has been loving!

So sorry to everyone who is out this month and good luck to everyone else waiting to test!

@AmeliaBedilia: Good luck with your new dr! Sounds promising she's willing to test whenever you'd like

@Tam: So sorry to hear that. I certainly agree with the others hat a second opinion is needed

Also - hello! I'll give some quick stats as I know I'll be hanging out here for a while.

Cycle number/months TTC: ugh. Too long (2+ years)
Backstory: PCOS, absolutely no ovulation on my own
CD: 4
POAS date (if any): nope! Keeping reading
Plan for this cycle: had panned for 3rd month of clomid with IUI. I went yesterday and have a big cyst on my ovary. Turns out OPKs aren't suitable for me. Even when they indicate "positive", I don't actually release the egg. It makes a big cyst instead My old obgyn had that suspicion (we've moved since). So we have to wait until it goes away (previously I needed surgery to remove cysts). Ugh. I've been so bummed. Lowest of my low during this process.
What house project are you working on (if any): Ha! When treatments fail, I shop. I've redone my living room in fall colors, repainted an end table, and cleaned away!! I want living room curtains next.
Favorite thing about October: decorating of course!!! Especially with pumpkins !

@LindsayInNY: sending you good thoughts and good luck today! Fingers crossed so hard for you!

To avoid cross-posting too many times in too many places, here's a rambing update:

@LindsayInNY: CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

@nicole112: oh I missed your update... I'm still cheering all of you 6+ month-ers on so much!! Fingers & toes crossed the IUI does it for you. Sounds like great progress!

@nicole112: fingers crossed for you girl!!

I am back! After the cancelled holiday we were able to take last week off - we went on a cruise and it was so beautiful
No internet though, so I will have to catch up with what has been happening here.
My cycle is really messed up this month, FF kept changing my O date... I either ovulated 4 or 7 days late, wth?

Hi ladies, just checking in cuz I missed yall! So we did our second and final round of clomid in August. Had to stop there because I changed jobs and lost insurance. (DH and I are using these last few months of the year to pay off debt so we can afford the expensive Healthcare for those of us whose employers don't offer it ) Anyway, when AF arrived in September, I was sitting in my new hair stylist's chair when she started telling me how she was about to be meeting two children that she would be fostering and hopefully adopting. As she told me all about the agency and the process and her family, something in me clicked! I feel like a seed was planted. God gave me this strong desire to love on kids! So whether or not he gives us any more, I want to use this desire for good. I've talked to my husband and he agreed to go to an information meeting with me on Nov 4th. I'm not 100% convinced this is what we will do, but I'm certainly open to the thought.. and the meeting!

In the meantime, we will certainly keep ttc. So that brings me to this crazy cycle. I had a negative opk on cd 15 and 16. (I didn't have anymore test strips so those are the only days I tested). Then I started spotting 5 days ago on cd 19 and continued to today, when full blown AF arrived. WTH!?!? I guess I just didn't ovulate at all thus cycle. And that made me start early?? Like a full 7 days early? I'm so frustrated with my body. I'm going to call the RE we were seeing tomorrow and ask, but really since we're uninsured at the moment, I doubt I will get any real answers. Sigh.

Sorry for the book. It's just been awhile and I had so much to share with my girls!

@lindsayinny: I posted it on your original thread but I am seriously thrilled for you. You gave me hope! And I'm sure there are many others that feel the same way

CD 1 here, on to the next month! IUI #2 did not take for us. I'm totally bummed and pretty much heartbroken. The only redeeming thing about today was that the class I subbed for today was awesome, the kids were loving and it made me extra happy for my career change. I'm trying to focus on the positives in my life. My OB is referring us to an RE and in the meantime, I will have one last IUI with them. I was really hoping this month was our month...

@organicmama: that's so awesome that you had this new seed planted!! I totally believe we have certain people come into our lives at different times to teach us things or help guide our way. It's great you are open to the options that may be our there for you in order to love more children.

@sarahnicole218: I'm sorry to hear your IUI didn't work. Good luck on the final IUI & with the RE.

@organicmama: [:heart:]

@sarahnicole218: oh no, so sorry! Big hugs!

with my weird cycle, I am either DPO 5 or 8... or I did not ovulate at all. Such a strange month!

Guys, this TWW is killing me. I'm 9DPIUI. I go for a beta on Tuesday and time is draggggggging! I had creamy cm today...didn't think much of it...but then I thought that it was more than usual at the stage of the month. I went to Dr. Google and they told me its an early sign of pregnancy. But I'm probably overthinking it all! Who else is in their TWW and how are they doing???

Omg guys...I've never ever ever ever got a positive BFP and I woke up this morning and asked DH if I should just take a test...today is 10DPIUI and I said it could be early so it'll prob be negative but let's just seeee...and we thought our minds were playing tricks on us...but I think I see something!! What do you think??!!

@nicole112: I think I see something! Keep us posted!

@GoGoSnoGirl: thanks girl! @MrsStar: thanks will do!@dc yoga bee: I definitely will.

So impatient me was quite antsy at work all day just wanting to go home to test again and here is the 2nd test I took on a wondfo. I will do a frer in the am! This line is darker...nervous and excited at the same time!

@nicole112: ahhh that is totally positive! Happy Halloween BFP! Go get yourself a FRER but mostly have a happy and healthy 9 months because I think that you are pregnant!

Okay guys...here is the frer along with another wondfo. It's super faint but there's a line there!! My phone camera wasn't focusing too well. But I see a line! I see a line! Thanks ladies!!!

@dc yoga bee: I think I'm in pure shock! I can't believe this is happening!! Thank you!!!

It has been such a journey. I cannot thank you ladies enough for the love and support!! I go for my beta on Tuesday. I'll feel better when it's doctor confirmed! I feel so excited and so nervous all in one! Crazy feeling. Here's another pic...it seems to be a bit better. Sorry for all the pics!!

@nicole112: yeeehooooo!! So exciting! Congratulations & sending buckets of sticky baby dust!!
