@LiliBillie: Yay, the 1st HPT pic on our board!!!
I am glad you that you were able to get it out of your system ... Hopefully, the next HPT you use will yield you a beautiful BFP! π€

@Maybebaby: @FuzzyPeaches:
How are you ladies doing? Your POAS date is coming up quick and, I just wanted to check in.
-
@Kaohinani: bfn for me today at 8dpo but still time. I donβt really have a good feeling though π€·ββοΈ
-
@Kaohinani: thanks, mama!
Welp pulled a test out of the trash from this am (wil I never learn?!) and saw a hint of something.
The top is trash test, bottom is fresh test from right now...something is catching my eye π€·ββοΈ
-
@fuzzypeaches: I'm sorry you feel that this cycle will be less than everything you could dream of.
@maybebaby: I see it, I see it!!!!
-
@Kaohinani: eeewk thank you! Iβll update tomorrow am, trying not to get excited but itβs hard not to!
-
@maybebaby: I canβt wait to see tomorrowβs! I really do see it!
Ah ladies I donβt know whatβs wrong with me this cycle. I am so emotional and weepy. I donβt know if itβs the femara or the fact that Iβm turning 35 this weekend (which is not old, but is a fertility milestone if you will) or what it is. @Kaohinani: I donβt know how you stay so positive but I always really appreciate reading
-
@maybebaby: I definitely see something on both! π€
-
@maybebaby: ooh
-
@maybebaby: No problem! I can't wait for today's HPT! π€π€π€
@fuzzypeaches: It may very well be the Femara. I know the Clomid affected me. I wasn't rage-filled, rather, I would cry at children's movies and random commercials (ASPCA, ones with newborns, children being traditionally "cute" ... they all got me) π€¦ββοΈπ₯Ί. I am NOT a weepy or emotional person in the least. The gonadotropin injectables have been much better for my mental wellbeing (although all fertility meds have wreaked havoc on my waistline -- I don't know how women stay on them cycle after cycle after cycle!). As for positivity, I figure that I have 2 choices, I can either allow my infertility to get the best of me and take me down a dark road, or I can look at it with positivity. I try to see each AF as the start of a new chance to try (* I do mourn the fact a cycle didn't take but I force myself to move on) and I am grateful for my infertility for many reasons. It has allowed me to meet so many kind people in the same situation ... it has allowed me to understand how others must have felt when I was the one having babies without even "trying," ... it has brought DH and I even closer together ... it has made me appreciate what I have (versus being upset that I don't "have" fertility) ... AND I have had surgeries, meds, and procedures to correct bodily "issues" and ailments (ex- high estrogen, endometriosis, etc) that I never knew I was afflicted with. TTC is all-encompassing but I refuse to be defined by 42 mos. Anyway, I apologize for the novel. Just hang in there and know we are all here for you!
-
As for me, I peeked at my BBT this morning. π€¦ββοΈ For those who may not know, I was TRYING not to track until 12 dpo in order to lessen my TTC/TWW anxiety. My TD records my BBT and places it in OvaView for me. Curiosity got the best of me. π
My BBT today was 98.86. The range since OV has been from 98.72 to 99Β°F. I'm still riding high temperature-wise @ 11 dpo so I am satisfied. I am hoping they don't fall this cycle. -
My parents are visiting from in town leaving Monday, hoping I can hold out to tell DH until after they leave! Not sure when this will feel real, but Iβm so excited!
-
@fuzzypeaches: the emotional ups and downs of a cycle are hard enough and and meds to the mix - keeping fingers and toes crossed for you and hope you have a relaxing weekend!@Kaohinani: I am completely foreign to all the charting lingo but does that mean good things?! Sounds like it and hoping so!!!
-
@maybebaby: Yay!!!! CONGRATULATIONS, hun! π₯³
.Yes, elevated temps are great. Extended elevated temps (past 18 dpo) are, USUALLY, a pregnancy sign. My BBT, typically, begins a slow decline to my coverline starting anywhere from 11 to 15 dpo and my AF comes between 14 to 18 dpo. If I can maintain my high BBT to 18 dpo (and beyond), I may have a chance this cycle.
-
@Kaohinani: Thanks so much, mama! I will wait for the digi
-
@maybebaby: Great news! Congratulations!
-
For my fellow TTC-ers πΊ
An interesting website that gives one a peek at the stages and maturation of an infant from ova to 9-month fetus. Includes videos and quizzes!
-
@maybebaby: congrats!!
@Kaohinani:
on those temps!
-
@maybebaby: definitely lines there, congrats!
Well surprises never cease around these parts... I took a super early Opk yesterday and forgot about it... A few hours later I went into the bathroom and it was a super positive! Wtf- from a 39 day cycle to possibly ovulating on CD11?! So we dutifully DTD last night... This morning, again a positive so we'll go again tonight... A part of me is happy I caught it, in case it's real, another part of me just thinks my cycles are nuts and this isn't even a real O
Anyway, if this is in any way real ovulation, I guess my POS date will be around 9/13 or 9/14?...
-
@bhbee: Thank you!
@MoonMoon: Awesome!

@paranundrum: @MoonMoon: @bhbee: thank you!!! @yellowbeach: haha thank you! Yes maβam, though mynuswrname is back from 2012 when we first decided to go down this crazy path
-
@maybebaby: congratulations!!

I started AF a few days ago and Iβm on CD 3. Such a weird cycle last month so Iβm giving Femara another round this month with metformin. I just donβt think Clomid worked this time around. If we donβt conceive this cycle, I think I will give my body a break for a couple of months from the hormones and just try metformin alone. Iβll POAS by 10/16. Fingers crossed for all you ladies!
-
@maybebaby: Did you take your digital yet?
@Mrs.Panda: Hopefully, this cycle will be less "wonky." I'm hoping the Femara with Metformin does the trick! π€
I shall update the roster immediately. -

@Kaohinani: waited a day because those things are expensive!
Yesterday FRER and todayβs digi!
EDD May 10!
-
@maybebaby: Beautiful progression from 2 days ago ... I love seeing that "'Yes +' !"
I'm going to add you to the roster [If I may?].
π€ So cool that "MaybeBaby" will be having a "MayBaby!"P.S. -
Incidentally, I love your rings -
@Kaohinani: thank you! Yes, please do. The bottom one is my wedding ring the rose gold I just got off amazon! I rarely wear my engagement ring these days and I wanted a little something extra! Thanks for the compliment.
-
@maybebaby: I added you to the above roster.
Where on amazon did you find something that pretty?!?! I have a similar rose gold ring which I spent hundreds on. -
@Kaohinani: I canβt speak tonhow it will hold up but here is the listing!
-
@maybebaby: Very Pretty! It is inexpensive enough that if it were to ever tarnish, you would not be remiss in replacing it.
@FuzzyPeaches: I hope you had a happy 35th birthday! π₯³
-
As for me, at 13 dpo, this cycle is just odd.
I have had no post ovulatory chin acne, my breasts aren't achy (I, occasionally, have sore nips but not my usual), have had 1 day of heavy cramping (8 dpo) then nada, as well as, a few bouts of heavy CF. In fact, this morning I had a bit of pink-tinged CF on my TP but NOTHING since (π€ don't worry I am not going to post the pic of it -- no one wants to see that! π€£). My BBT is decent atm (actually kind of flat, temp-wise). I am hopeful but I am maintaining realistic expectations.BBT chart (from OvaView which syncs with my TD):
-
@Kaohinani: eek! Iβm out of the loop what is your testing plan if any?!
-
@maybebaby: I am going to wait it out until the 7th. I don't want to see a BFN nor do I want another questionable HPT.
-
@Kaohinani: totally understand
keeping fingers and toes crossed
-
@maybebaby: I have that ring too! My husband bought it to stack with my wedding band, and to add rings as we had more babies.
-
@maybebaby: Thanks!
@Sams Mom: What a cute (and sentimental) idea!!!
