Re: TTC Tuesday
Cycle/Month:
CD/DPO: CD3
W2O or 2WW? W2O
Testing plans: Not in the near future!
Chart stalks/rants/Thoughts: Had a 32 day cycle last time--that is exciting!! It's starting to normalize and not be like 50 days long. We've been eating really healthy and I think that helped.
TTCers:
Cycle/Month: 5
CD/DPO: cd8
W2O or 2WW? W2O
Testing plans: Chart stalks/rants/Thoughts:
FF rant: I wish FF chart would set the the y axis from the month before. Right now it looks like my temps are jumping all over the place, but when I look back it's still under last month's CL. It just looks bigger because the axis is only like .5 degree window. This is my anal retentive statistician mind.
Thoughts: H is getting pretty down about not being pregnant yet. We are both in a rut, and last night he goes "do you think it's because we've been TTC and haven't yet?" I think I'm just in my winter blues stage, but I think that's why he's down. I told him no, and said only a third of people TTC get pregnant in the first 4 months. (I just rechecked it's 40% in the first 3 months, 70% in the first 6). Numbers comfort me, him too. But I think he's been looking things up because he's doing some things different in the bedroom. I asked, and he said he read it helps conceiving... gotta love him!
Mommies:
How old are your LOs: little over 5 months
How do you feel? good, TOM today, cramps suck!
Any milestones this week? we started carrots yesterday!
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics: looking forward to Lilliana's 1st Christmas, can't believe how time is flying, we went to visit friend's who just had a baby last Mon and it makes me miss how small she used to be:(
She hasn't rolled over yet and her cousin who is 3 weeks younger can and it makes me worry a little, i know every kid is different bc she laughs more and can sit up on her own and will roll half way, but i guess being a FTM i just wonder when it will happen!
Pregnant Girls:
How many weeks: 19 weeks, 5 days
How are you feeling? Feeling really good! I'm hoping the long road trip this weekend treats me well, I have been having some hip pain so sitting for 12 hours in a car might be a little rough...
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? I have my 20 week ultrasound tomorrow! We are going to have the U/S tech write the gender in an envelope and bring it with us to MI to have my niece and nephew open on Christmas morning. I'm so excited!
@islandmonkey8 - I'm so happy that you O'd!!! FX this was your cycle
@islandmonkey8 - I know they change, but in the begining of the cycle, when the range is only .5 degrees it makes the chart look really spiky, then when you get the real spike it looks better to me because the range is now a degree or two. Also, the stats help me, it keeps me kind of on the negative side because of the whole 20% each month etc. I'm fine, just winter blues because I don't see the sun working 7-430. It's H that's getting edgy. He's the one talking about SA etc. I'm talking him down. I know 5 months is nothing.
Evan - haha I know. It surprised me!
Cycle/Month: Cycle 2/Month 10
CD/DPO: CD29
W2O or 2WW? W2O
Testing plans: Maybe some OPKs
Chart stalks/rants/Thoughts: Well, the 100mg didn't do the trick. My RE prescribed me another round of Clomid; this time 150mg. I take my last dose tonight and I'll go in for another US on Monday. I'm not getting my hopes up and just kinda feeling shitty about this whole process right now.
How are you feeling? Exhausted. Third trimester exhaustion has officially kicked my butt. Some lower back pain as well and occasional sciatica-thank God it goes away and isn't constant!
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? I honestly cannot believe we are more than 3/4 of the way there! DH and I are wrapping up some final things and my shower is 12/28. Trying to get the nursery done (or really started, lol). Everything is planned out, it is just getting the furniture out of the room that is holding up the carpet cleaning and everything else. The dresser should be delivered mid January and the crib we can have delivered around the same time. Besides that, I'm really not putting any other furniture other than a bookcase in the room, because I don't want it to be cluttered.
TTCer:
Cycle/month: 5/5
Cd:20
W2O/2WW: honestly I'm not sure and I doubt I'm going to get much help from ff this month. I think I O'd on Sunday based on a + OPK and some pain on my left side (which I've never had I pain before), but I also had a fever again this weekend, so my temps are all sorts of f'd up! I was hoping this morning I would still have a higher temp, but I woke up at 5 coughing to I slept on the recliner so DH wouldn't wake, and was cold so I have a lower temp. Pure guessing game now.
Test plans: well if I did o Sunday, AF should show up the day after our trip back so I plan to not bring any tests and get pretty toasted over the holidays. If by some miracle it hasn't shown up then (see poor timing below), I will test at home. Not counting on it though.
Rants: I'm so irritated that I got sick right at o. Since I came down with it so quick on sat, which was our EOD day, our timing is going to probably be O-3 and O+1. I'm just ready to give up on this month.
And DH asked me not to temp next month and said what if we just EOD for like 2 wks straight.
@mana8503 I feel your frustration because I feel the same way. I know I should expect it to take a year and I'm embarrassed with how frustrated I've become. Hopefully we can stay positive!!
I guess I should clarify. I'm ok, I get bummed on CD1, have wine and move on. My rut is my usual winter i-don't-see-the-sun rut. H is the one that's down and I think it's because we're not pregnant yet.
His kids came pretty easily, as in pregnant on month 1, both times. Seriously - they got lucky! Now he's scared there's something wrong with him. I tell him the stats (that makes me feel better) and he feels better. We are numbers people, so it helps.
I'd rather have a pessimistic view right now and not get so down and frustrated at CD1 each month. Not trying to trouble trouble. Each month I add something, like temping, preseed, next month OPKs. It's something I can control, and that's comforting too.
@mana8503 don't get discouraged. It'll happen. I know it's frustrating to keep getting BFNs but your baby will come soon!
Pregnant Girls: I've wanted to tell you all for 2 weeks!!!! I got my BFP on November 29. H and I are cautiously thrilled
How many weeks: 6 weeks, 3 days
How are you feeling? Nauseous all the time. Food is not appealing. I am tired, too, as I'm not sleeping well. No complaints though. Things feel much differently this time than they did in June.
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? No bump. I wanted to tell both families on Christmas, but I can't wait. I think I'm telling my parents tonight. H wanted to tell them last night. We won't see H's parents again until Christmas Eve, so we're telling them then
CD/DPO: 32/17dpo
W2O or 2WW? 2WW
Testing plans: I tested on Sunday and got a BFN so now I'm waiting for AF to show
Chart stalks/rants/Thoughts: After last cycles super long wait for AF, I have no idea on when AF is due to show up. The FF predictor had it set to arrive on Sunday because I O'd on Nov 30 (15th day of cycle)
Pregnant Girls: How many weeks: 9 weeks 4 days How are you feeling? Nausea has subsided a little bit so I'm able to eat a little. Other than that I'm feeling pretty good. Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? Go on Friday for my first OB appt, hoping to hear the heartbeat!!
If I'm at 45+days again this cycle I might contemplate stopping tempting but trying opk just so I have a double check in place because I think the tempting is stressing me out too much.
