Re: TTC Tuesday
TTCers:
Cycle/Month: 3
CD/DPO: CD19/ 4DPO
W2O or 2WW? 2WW
Testing plans: 10 DPO so next Monday.
Chart stalks/rants/Thoughts: I had a half degree dip this morning. It's still above the coverline, but it scared me. I got the 3 days of high temps (almost a whole degree, YAY ovulation) and then it fell. :-??
How many weeks: 13 weeks 4 days
How are you feeling? Feeling pretty good, still tired in the evenings but most of my food aversions are gone, yay!
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? Still no bump, just bloated. We told our friends on Saturday who have been TTC for 3 years. They were excited.
TTCers:
Cycle/Month: 2/2
CD/DPO: CD26/ 10DPO
W2O or 2WW? 2WW
Testing plans: POAS yesterday ( I know too early but I just couldn't stand the wait) got a BFN, AF should be here by thurs/fri so if not I will test again on saturday which will be 14 DPO
Chart stalks/rants/Thoughts: These 2ww are so stressful!! I am definitely over analyzing every single peep or change my body is making.
TTCers:
Cycle/Month: 3
CD/DPO: CD29; 7ish DPO. I use OPK's now but next cycle I'm going to temp to be more certain.
W2O or 2WW? 2WW
Testing plans: I (shamefully) tested at 5 and 6 DPO. I know--I'm saving my other tests until next week.
Chart stalks/rants/Thoughts: Long cycles make the 2WW even worse!!!! I don't ovulate until around day 20, and then I've been known to start on day 40, or even 50 (if I'm VERY stressed or sick). Le sigh.
Cycle/month: 4/4
Cd: 10
W2O or 2ww: W2O
Testing plans: the 22nd since there is a wedding on the 23rd and unless I have a super weird cycle I should be 12-13 dpo....I probably just jinxed myself!
Rant:where to start! 1) I thought I was doing great on not stressing but as it gets closer to O, I'm more and more anxious. Last month I O'd on cd 12 so this is the week we need to HIO, and of course H is feeling sick and we have a ton of plans after work. Figures! 2) I also haven't seem any difference from drinking green tea every day but I'm going to start taking mucinex tonight. 3) my temps have been like mountains so far and it's annoying me!
How are you feeling? I've been kind of crabby the last 2 days, school is starting to stress me out so that may be it. Otherwise I feel fine.
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? Pretty sure I have BV, I have a doctor's appt next week so guess I'll find out then. Also next week is our u/s!!
Cycle/Month: 8
CD/DPO: 34/18dpo
W2O or 2WW? 2WW still waiting for AF
Testing plans: I tested on Sunday (15 dpo) when AF was due and got a BFN so now I'm just waiting on AF to show up
Chart stalks/rants/Thoughts: if AF doesn't show up by Friday I will test again but I had some cramping today so it will probably show up. I was actually pretty sad when I got the bfn.
TTCers:
Cycle/Month: 3
CD/DPO: CD 4
W2O or 2WW? W2O
Testing plans: I think I'll be patient this cycle and wait until after AF is due. I tested last month at 10 DPO and got a BFN. AF arrived on Saturday 15 DPO
Chart stalks/rants/Thoughts: AF arrived overnight Friday into Saturday. I was quite relieved because I was super bloated and bitchy. H is very understanding about it, thank goodness. Since AF arrived, I've gottne drunk every night, just because I can. I feel like this is me sticking it to AF in some way. It's been lovely. I am going back to temping this month. I am also going to consistently try to check CM and position. We'll start EOD again this week. I signed up for Fertility Friend over the summer because I've heard it's more accurate than the app, My Days, that I was using. Out of laziness, I didn't follow through with FF. Over the weekend, I went back and entered most of August, September and October's information. According to FF, I missed my fertility window by like 4 days. According to my app, I was right on target. I think I am going to listen to FF this month.
Also, I bought Taking Charge of your Fertility this weekend. Although I've learned a lot of this info from lurking on the boards, it has opened my eyes to a lot.
How many weeks? 25w 2d and getting so excited!!
How are you feeling? Good, actually having a hard time sleeping during the day if I sleep that night (and I need to since I work nights and a nap before work really helps). I guess that means I'm getting some good, solid sleep during the night. I think the cool temps outside are playing a huge part in my sleeping and I'm actually happy for the cold! I know I should have a few more weeks of feeling pretty good so I'm happy about that.
Rants/Thoughs/Bump Pics? We are still dealing with DH's infertility issue and trying to fix it. His Testosterone level is still very low after trying a second medication. We figured the levels didn't get better because he was actually feeling bad again. He is back on the original medication and seems to be doing well again (already after less than a week) but we do know that this med hasn't fixed his T levels enough to help his sperm so we are looking into other options. He has an appointment next week with a top endocrinologist who is working in conjunction with his urologist to try to figure out why his T is so low and unresponsive to meds. He really has been a trooper through all of this. I am hoping we can get him feeling good by the time the baby gets here. I trust his doctor but I also worry that maybe we should be traveling further for a second opinion.
TTCers:
Cycle/Month: 4
CD/DPO: CD 22/1
W2O or 2WW? 2WW
Testing plans: I am trying to wait until next friday, the 15th (10DPO) my LP is only 11 days logn usually, so we'll see!!! Also, we have tickets to a beer and wine tasting with my advisor from school, so we'll see how that goes if I find out before then. I'm feeling really positive this cycle.
Chart stalks/rants/Thoughts- Does anyone else feel like there is something special they are supposed to do, like oh yeah, no one ever told you you have to clap three times or you won't get pregnant? OK, weird thought (and clapping three times is not what I meant exactly, more like a secret you have to figure out?) and...if there is not some secret, then I feel like Charlotte on Sex and the City. I spend all this time and money and worry trying not to get pregnant, and now that I want to...Oh wait its actually really unlikely! Which is why this month DH and I said screw it, (litterally haha) we're pretending we are drunk teenagers and that will work! and, I know this is only month four (2 where we were not even near each other during the proper week...so yeah) thanks for letting me vent!
AND condoms up until three weeks before the wedding! Than we used birth control only. My husband would ask all the time if it was "safe" for him to finish based on the time during my cycle! I tried to explain that I wasn't ovulating on birth control so there wasn't a "safe" or "unsafe" time during my cycle. He didn't get it.
Then we found out about his scrappy sperm count and crappy sperm motility. With his issue, in order to get pregnant, our timing was absolutely perfect! We had to ONLY have sex on the day I ovulated and he didn't ejaculate for 2-3 days before (in order to have a better sample...with mfi, ejaculating less is more! Sex every other day is too often because there isn't enough of a recharge).
We basically were like...wow, look at all the money we wasted! I was on birth control that was $55.00/month PLUS the cost of condoms!
EEEK! Sending you lots of BFP vibes! Good luck
