Re: TTC Tuesday

  • TTCers:

    Cycle/Month: 3

    CD/DPO: 26/11

    W2O or 2WW? 2WW

    Testing plans: yesterday was BFN, might test tomorrow. 

    Chart stalks/rants/Thoughts: temps dipped yesterday below coverline.  I was sure I was out, because they dipped before AF last month.  But now it's back up... cycles have been 26-27 days, but I'm not really feeling the onset on AF.  I had cramps by now the previous months.  TTC is such a mind fvck!

  • Pregnant Girls:

    How many weeks: 14 weeks

    How are you feeling? Having a rough morning, but overall pretty good

    Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? No bump yet, but today may be the last day my favorite black pants are worn. They are a smidge tight...

    Hang in there @Mana8503, I hope you get a BFP or AF soon, the waiting is the worst!

  • TTCers:

    Cycle/Month: 3 of using NFP to TTP

    CD/DPO: CD 36, 14 DPO

    W2O or 2WW? 2WW

    Testing plans: taken 84 million BFNs

    Chart stalks/rants/Thoughts:  We are trying to avoid right now, but slipped up and DTD on a fertile day (seriously, hormones just took right on over), so I was a little nervous/excited.  But my cervix is really low (I don't check the position, but it's literally so low I can feel it when I pee--TMI? lol) so I'm sure AF will show soon.  I've also been spotting, mild cramping, boobs are even more enormous than usual--pretty typical pms signs for me.  My cycles are 40 days long so I'm still not even "late."

  • Thanks @WillyH19 and @DanaOcNy !  I like W2O better... I can be more proactive!

    Mommies:

    How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? DD was 4 months on Friday- where is the time going!!

    How do you feel? good, i finally broke through my plateau, i was stuck a weight for a week and even though it was only a pound, ill take it=) My back is hurting again, it had been since the 2nd tri and now its at it again and i know its from the gym, so i took off yesterday from my appt with my trainer bc i cant afford to not be able to pick up the baby, its needs to go away....i am still sleep deprived, even when she STTN i feel myself waking up just to check and then cant go back to sleep...

    Any Milestones this week? DD got more shots on Friday and we got the go ahead to feed off a spoon so she started rice cereal off the spoon and was like what the heck is this, i cant wait to start making her food, i just bought a baby brezza and plan on making as much as i can and freezing it, its so cute to watch her try and figure out what im putting in her mouth!

    Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? ill update my siggy to her 4 month pic at home, stupid work blocks tinypic.com- no rants-H and i talked about the snooze button and him helping me out more, he thinks he is helping me, i guess i need to communicate to him instead of just getting mad that he should know what i want him to do!

    Congrats @DanaOcNy!!

    TTCers:

    Cycle/Month: 1/9?

    CD/DPO: 142

    W2O or 2WW? W2O

    Testing plans: I wrote about this in more detail in my blog, but here's a quick run down.  I'm taking Provera to make my period start, which will hopefully be in the next 7-10 days.  On CD5, I will take Clomid to hopefully make me ovulate.  Once my cycle starts, I need to schedule an HSG test which will be performed between CD6 and CD10.  If everything is clear, I'll go in for an US to confirm ovulation and receive a trigger shot of Ovidrel.  At the end of my cycle, I will either be pregnant or I'll get my period and we'll start all over again.

    Chart stalks/rants/Thoughts:  I'm super worried about the HSG test, not because of any pain associated with it, but of the results.  I really hope there isn't anything wrong.  I can't handle one more medical issue being thrown at me right now!  H is very positive and thinks we are going to get pregnant right away and it's hard to get excited with him.  I just have this feeling that this journey is going to be a rough one.

    I'm going to wait to get my results back from the HSG to make the determination on my TMJ surgery.  If everything comes back clear, then I am going to cancel it.

  • Cycle:4/4
    Cd:17
    W2o or 2ww: ??? I'm pretty sure I O'd yesterday but I won't get CH until probably the end of the week since I had to wake up super early and it was cold, I didn't get a temp spike. Ugh, terrible timing for my routine to change!
    Testing plans: next Friday before a wedding but since I O'd a few days late (I think), I will only be 11ish dpo. I probably won't drink much at that wedding regardless.
    Thoughts: I'm so optimistic about this cycle. Even though with stress pushed it back some, if I O'd yesterday, we HIO 4 days in a row through o. We also used preseed and I got some actual stretchy CM on my own yesterday. It's hard though because if it doesn't work, I think I'll be even more disappointed after this month. I hate TTC! Haha

    @mana8503 I would definitely drink!

    TTCers:

    Cycle/Month: 3

    CD/DPO: CD 11

    W2O or 2WW? W2O

    Testing plans:  14 DPO

    Chart stalks/rants/Thoughts:  FF and My Days both forecasted me to O later this week.  I was going to switch from EOD to daily today.  I had a temp dip this morning, so I O'd.  My CM is more watery than egg white (sorry TMI) so I'm hoping I didn't miss it.  I was going to have a quicky this morning, but H was almost ready for work when I made the discovery.  I am going to be pretty upset if I missed this month :(

    I began checking cervical position this month also and it's really hard to identify.  Maybe once I have a point of reference it'll be easier, but I am finding it frustrating.

    ETA- I've had the exact same temperature on my dip for the every month since the miscarriage.  It's definitely O day because every month I have gotten AF 14 days later.


  • @sjs1013 I struggle with checking cervical position-I can't find it until it's right before AF where it's literally, like, coming out to say hello.

  • Thanks @frank139!  Good to know it's not just me :)

    @lwoehlk I tested this morning, still negative with no AF...

    @jwrenne that is so peculiar! I don't know how you are doing it! I would be going crazy and peeing on things all the time!

  • Mommies:

    How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? My son turned 2 1/2 thus month and my daughter turned 6 months!!!

    How do you feel? I feel pretty good. Things get overwhelming at times and I'm very tired but so far this week has been pretty good. Time is just flying way too quickly!

    Any Milestones this week? This was a huge week for DD. She started rolling everywhere like a pro, started sitting up unassisted and even started crawling!! OMG!!

    Cycle/Month: 4/4

    CD/DPO: 29/8

    W2O or 2WW? 2WW

    Testing plans: maybe tomorrow, I can't wait...but I should wait til Sat at least...when we are going to a beer and wine tasting fundraiser with everyone I got to school with...should be interesting...maybe I'll say I'm sick? I've never been one to turn down wine...

    Chart stalks/rants/Thoughts: I can't wait to find out. I'm really positive this month...the first two months there really wasn't a chance based on timing etc. but last month we were serious about timing...and I O'd on CD 20...even though since i've been off the pill i o'd on CD 15-16!!! very frustrating. so we planned even better this month had sexy time O+2(which I know prob wont help...but it was fun!), O , O-1, O-2, O-3(2x) O-4, O-5, and O-6 so...I think we're covered. also...I had a temp dip 7DPO and then a spike again today...so I hope all goes well. I also feel nauseaus...but I ate fried fish for lunch, which would prob. do that anytime haha. If this month doesn't go well, I'll be super bummed, I feel very positive...at the same time I will still be shocked if I get a BFP...like even though we're trying it will still be a surprise?

  • So my last 2 months post BC I spotted and AF was here a few hours later.  Nothing yet.  My temps are down and there's only been like 2 spots today.  I caved and tested this morning, BFN.  I'm still only 12 DPO.  But with the weather changing I'm becoming a mouth breather, which could make my temps down.  I was going to start temping vaginally next cycle.

    I'm grasping at straws now...

  • @lwoehlk I'm trying not to stress over it since that's the #1 cause for having a late period but not pregnant. Still no AF and if it continues through this weekend I'll call my doc to make an appt next week. I may test again this weekend.
    As of right now I'm on day 42, 26dpo. My cycle is typically 31 days so I'm more than 10 days overdue for AF.

  • Once when I was really stressed I went 60 days without AF, I didn't skip a cycle, I literally had one giant 60 day cycle.  So you're right that stress can play a huge part!!!!

    Yeah but it's my understanding that the luteal phase does not change, even due to stress. Your ovulation will just get pushed back on a long cycle. So if you were stressed after you O'd you should still get AF in the same timeframe (typically like14 days).
    @jwrenne, I think that must mean that you didn't actually o when you thought. But that is so strange since you were temping. I didn't mean that you should worry or stress; I just meant that you are a stronger person than I!! Good luck!

    image
  • On my chart it shows a temp dip the day I O'd and a temp spike the next day. Also I had O Pain on the left where I O'd and I had egg white CM like usual. So to me it doesn't make sense that I didn't O because everything points to it happening.
