The Official TTC Thread!

[PumpkinPie]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

ModernSparkler - Thanks for your support -I don't really know why the acupuncturist said that, but I'm over it now I think. It was pretty harsh to hear, but it is just one piece of info and I"m not too worried at the moment.

LovesVintage - I actually felt great after my first appointment. I go back again in a couple of weeks so hopefully it continues.

Dreamer - thanks for the info on how to distinguish between EWCM and semen - I was actually kind of wondering that myself as they can be pretty similar! and no - she's not Asian - she's white. perhaps she just had a remarkably uncompassionate moment? I hope you're having a fun date night with your husband tonight!

welcome Loves2Laugh! I hope your stay here is brief and fun

dcgator - I'm so sorry to hear the news - but I saw some of your posts on the new thread you started and I see that you have a plan that you're comfortable with pursuing. I will keep you in my thoughts and sent some dust sprinkles your way regularyl

gaby - I agree that for the moment, there is nothing to lose by going to acupuncture and my husband is supportive of me going, so I will continue for a bit. Good luck with avoiding AF and getting a BFP on Sunday!

Bella - I agree with the tossing out of the word 'barren' - it may be helpful for some ladies to use it in a semi-humorous way but it seems like such a harsh and self-critical word to use. It makes me sad to read it.

Steal - I picked up some B complex vitamins - you forgot to tell me they would turn my pee highlighter yellow - it's fascinating! Sorry to hear about your computer troubles - my lappy recently freaked out on me a few times - apparently something inside was no longer making proper contact - my IT husband fixed it by SQUISHING it on certain keyboard keys really really hard.. how technical! Good luck this cycle Steal! I have a feeling you will be pregnant by January and won't have to mess around with any treatments I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. Just read your newest post - sounds like your dr. is about as cheerful as my acupuncturist I've already talked to my husband about the idea of a SA as a theoretical in the future - he had absolutely no problems with it at all - perhaps your husband won't either! ILike dreamer said, it's not exactly fair that he can be afraid of the possibility of the results, when it's kind of assumed that you're 'to blame'. And after all, it's not exactly on par with most procedures that we have to undergo as women! Orgasm instead of a pap smear? umm. yes please!

Other than that, no real news from me - hanging out at CD 5 today hoping that this cycle will be an improvement over the last one

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

My DH is quite involve in the process. I mean probably I talked about tempting, testing, FF, BFN, BFP all the time that he does not have a choice . But I have to say that he shows interest as well, he was the one pushing me to buy the OPKs expensive ones because those are more accurate, he send me to acupuncturist but I have not gottten my butt there yet , I told him about the soy and he e-mailed his nutritionist to ask about it, and asked her if she had hear about that and what does she suggest. (She suggested to no take pills but get it from food). He is in charged of set up the alarm everyday even in weekends to take my temperature and test. I already asked him if he would go to the Dr. if necessary and he accepted. I mean, he listen, learn and show interest but I'm sure we would not do this if it was not because I'm obsess with TTC

Well as the bad girl that I am i tested today and of course it was a BFN, I'm actually was not surprise,I don't feel pregnant, my boobs are not sore, and is pretty early to get a Positive. So I will probably wait a few more days and see what happen before I test.

Thanks for the dust

I am very sorry about the negative test. You know it is still early. ***Dust***

I hate to POAS most of the time. It is so crappy to look at the damned test and think – all have to do it turn pink; hardly the hardest job in the world, so just turn pink damn it.

May say for the umpteenth time how much I love to see you posting – that ring is to die for. I hope you are wearing it this very instant. Oh, this is turning into jewellery ****. “What are YOU wearing?”

My husband has a very similar attitude to yours – although he has no clue about the OPK’s. I like to think he wouldn’t begrudge the smilies if I wanted them. He nags me to go to the Dr. to get the flu shot (I went on Friday ) and wants me to take great care of myself ‘just in case’. But he wouldn’t know his DPO from his KFC. Simply because I haven’t sat him down and told him.

Pumpkin: Ha, just another sexy side affect to TTC. Between temping up the hoo-ha and radioactive pee we are quite the love-goddesses!

DCgator: I hope you are doing ok.
__________

AFM: Well we chatted and he is prepared to get the test done. I must say I am very proud of my man. He is a keeper.

In other news, at CD13 I imagine we are egg launching tomorrow or Monday but I’m not testing for this month. We are (completely coincidentally) doing EOD so we will be covered anyway.

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

PSA: if you are TTC or on the verge, or even on the fence, do NOT go visit your friend in the hospital who just gave birth to the most incredibly cute little baby boy who has a full head of hair and super squishy cheeks.
Apparently, you aren't able to get your "baby fill" that way. It makes your uterus hurt for a baby to be put in there.

 

[Mrs]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Hi ladies,

I'm on this train with you (for the second time) and wanted to say hi and offer encouragement and support to everyone.

I am 30 and my LO is 19 months now and I was very fortunate to have very little trouble getting pregnant with her - my cycles were very long (40-50 days) but we got lucky the second cycle trying. I was charting and found that helpful.

Now I'm much more regular (so I'm not charting) but we've been trying for 2 months now and no luck yet. My periods have been kinda weird lately too - I start cramping 2 days before I really start to bleed so I'm not sure which day to count at CD1. oh well.

Anyway, I'm sending you all dust hoping we get some good news here soon!!

Mrs

 

[princessplease]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Gaby- Sorry for the BFN, but at least you know because it's too early, although I completely understand your urgency. DUST for BFP on your next test!

Charbie- I COMPLETELY understand! SIL just had a baby, and seeing him makes my uterus ache!!!!!

Steal- I'm glad your DH is willing to go for the test. It must be so hard for them because I know my DH would be having a really hard time if it came to that for us. Many kudos to him!!! What a great DH you have!!!!

Mrs- Welcome!!!!!! Hope the ride is short and sweet for you!

 

[Dreamer_D]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Welcome Mrs! There are now three of us with kiddos around the same age who are TTC number two -- you, me, and Loves2Laugh all have kids in the 19 - 21 months range. Glad to see another "old timer" around here. I believe when charting CD 1 is the first day of red flow, so spotting or cramping do not count as the start of a new cycle. Sorry it has taken a couple months so far, it sucks to get AF no matter how long it has been TTC. Are your cycles shorter now after having your LO too? Seems like many women have such changes after giving birth. Funny.

Steal Your hubby sounds like a really great guy for sure.

Gaby Ah, 10 DPO is so early, I am still hopeful for you!

 

[Steel]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Welcome Mrs,



It feels great to have new members on this thread, though I hope your stay is short. Are you doing any kind of charting at all - opk's, cm etc?

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Happy Halloween everyone!

 

[moxie.moo]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Happy halloween, everyone!

Sorry in advance for the drive-by; I've been away this weekend with my fam, and now the trick-or-treaters have started arriving (already)!

DCG: Thinking of you and sending virtual hugs.

Steal: Glad to hear your future baby daddy is a keeper and that you're being proactive.

To all the new people and returning folks, welcome! I'm hoping everyone here can teach me a thing or two, especially those that are on to #2. I'm considering Guaifenesin in addition to the pre-seed this month... I also found out this week that a close colleague is in the same boat as me and we had a total vent/pep-talk session last week--it was lovely and nice to feel like I knew someone IRL in the same boat... Hopefully she, my sister, or I will have some luck this month!

Hope everyone else is doing well! I'm CD13 and gearing up for the week ahead... Trying not to feel defeated before I start. My husband is asleep on the couch next to me, so hopefully he's up for it, too!

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Hey Moxie, I have found that drinking a tonne of water helps make lots of CF, combined with checking internally (like I described a a coupe days ago). Like, a glass every hour.

Thanks, Dreamer! Sadly I'm already on it in that area... I drink about 96 oz a day because I'm a runner to begin with. I'm getting to the point of "willing to try anything that so-and-so's second cousin three times removed got pregnant with." That's normal, right?

haha. Yes. Do you check internally too? I ask because there may be some good CF up there that you don't see. Many women do report the expectorants help, so why not?

 

[dcgator]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Hello my lovely ladies,

Sorry for my negative Nancy attitude yesterday, but I just had to let it all out, you know? Thanks to everyone for letting me vent and for giving me support. I think I am ready to chat more now.

Dreamer - Your DH sounds so cute trying to get all the lingo. And I wouldn't imagine he would remember which day you got your BFP on, boys just don't remember the details, I think. About your superior bedroom performance, whether it's forced or not, that's still pretty impressive. DH and I can't make it more than 4 or 5 days befor we throw up the white flag. I have a pretty good feeling that your strategy will pay off again

Bella - Thanks for chiming in. You are most definitely right. We will all be mommies one day, one way or another. Speaking of, how are things going on your end? You guys getting ready for your home study yet, or still working on the paperwork?

Modern - Thanks for the support. How are things on your end.

Gaby - I appreciate the hug. I'm glad to hear your little fishie is better and that it has a new house. You DH sounds really cute with how involved he is. And don't feel bad about testing, the temptation is just too great sometimes. As for the BFN, it is still early indeed, so hang in there. I have my fingers crossed very tight for you sweetie!

Laila and Lanie- Thanks for the advice here and in the other thread, I appreciate you taking the time to answer.

Steal - Thanks for your understanding and kind words. I know we are indeed all mommy-bound, one way or another.It sounds like you got some really good info from your doc. As for the SA, I know it can be uncomfortable to talk with DH about doing it, but its a necessary conversation. You might have to wait a couple weeks/months for your DH to get comfortable with it, but let him have his time too. Men seem to deal a bit different with it. I think they don't want to think its a them issue, but once they accept that they want to have a baby, and that if there is an issues, they want to get it fixed, they will come around. While I am not saying he is definitely the issue, I don't think that you should assume all the guilt/negative feelings here. Its a shared experience, the ups, downs and everything in between. You can't make a baby without two parties, so don't feel like you need to take all the burden on yourself. Btw, I am a bit jealous of your IUI and IVF pricing. Mine is more than double that. Ugh. Oh, and to answer your question, my DH has picked up on a good deal of the lingo, but he still needs reminding about certain things. In general, he is a really good sport about it.

Princess - Thanks for thinking of me. As for the BD'ing/temping correlation, it might be hard to accurately predict this month, since you don't know your pre-O vs post-O temps. If you have already had your temp rise, then you are in the 2WW and out of the BD'ing time for this month. But, since you don't know if you are pre-O then it could still be BD'ing time. I guess you will find out in a couple weeks

Pumpkin - Thanks for sending over the sprinkles, I especially like them with ice cream, hehe. Good luck with this cycle!

Charbie - LOL, I know how that goes. Everytime I hang out with my friend and her little boy, aka my boyfriend, I crave a baby!

Mrs - Welcome to the TTC hood I think you will find yourself in some good company, as we have a couple second time mommies among us. Either way, let us know if you have any questions. I hope you stay is short and sweet!

Moxie - Thanks for thinking of me. I hope that this week is a productive one for you. I have heard about the Robotussian being good, so why not, right? Go poke your DH and tell him to get moving, lol. Good luck with your BD'ing marathon!

*****
Well, I am back to sorts now. I got my DH back for the weekend and had some nice quality time. I also kinda reset myself and am ready to embark on another IUI cycle. However, per my doc (and other poster's recs) I am going to move onto the injections in addition to the clomid this cycle. So, I am excited again about the possibility that this cycle brings and I hope it will do the trick. Thanks again ladies for cheering me on and I look forward to cheering a few of you all on this week. Good luck everybody and Happy Halloween!

 

[Dreamer_D]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

DCgator I am glad to see that you are feeling better. I really hope this new plan does the trick!!

Gaby are you planning to test again soon?

AFM I am 7DPO today and going a wee bit mental Of course. Trying to just go with the flow but the wait is really lame. I am planning to wait until 12 DPO to test, which would be when AF is due, unless I get a strong pregnant sign earlier -- last time I was pregnant on CDs 9 and 10 I had the most vast amounts of watery CF. If that happens again then I will test sooner. If not, I will try to wait it out!

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Dcgator (Nancy):
Don’t change an inch – we love you just the way you are, bad days and good days. I’m sorry that words are all the support I can offer you – I understand how you might feel and wish I could click my fingers and we would all be knocked up – but sadly I can’t. (I have tried by the way ). I appreciate your support with DH’s SA. I do feel that it is an ‘ask’ and get uncomfortable at the suggestion that I should just demanded it of him. He is a great man but he is entitled to make his own choices. Luckily his desire to make a baby with me is greater than his embarrassment. I have done a lot of research into SA for when the time comes and while it seems that male infertility is often simply idiopathic, he does (as I alluded to before) have history which would incline him towards a problem. I hate to even write that – and I will just have to wait for the test. I did look for stats for you when I was a-googling and found something but it only goes to 2007, is that of any use to you? I listed it as a favourite so I will have a look and post it later. I also looked up about clomid and injectables and it seems that a number of posters on baby and bump have said the same thing – that clomid didn’t seem to work for them but the injectables did. About the costs I posted, bear in mind those prices are in euro so add on the meds and multiply by about 1.4. Plus we can't claim those costs back on insurance. I didn’t post the price to make people happy or sad about it, just to inform. If it did kick you in the a$$, I am sorry. But you could come visit and get it done here; I’d love to have you over. Better yet go to the UK, they get 1 free IUI/ICSI on the NHS. I’m glad you had the weekend together to decompress, has your husband gone off again today?

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Princess: I understand that for us this SA needs to get done but I completely respect my husband’s personal space. I am very happy that he is prepared to do it – but I didn’t expect him to. So thank you for speaking of kindly of him – though you will understand if I don’t pass that particular kudos on to him – that might freak him out!

Dreamer: 8DPO – how are you coping? Have you noticed any watery CF? I wish you so much dust to be a one stop preggo machine but may I say I’m a little sad that you might then leave us. I find you very helpful and supportive so if you are back on the baby train – make sure to stop in, every day!
****Dust****

Gaby: How are you doing? ***DUST***

Moxie: “Baby Daddy” – hahahhahha. That is so funny, thank you! Well done on finding a real life TTC buddy – though I hope you get knocked up before her!
I have never heard of Guaifenesin, though a quick trip to Wikipedia tells me it might be a cough treatment? I remember reading a while back that an element of cough syrup is good to increase CM but I thought it was too ‘self medicating’ so I didn’t look any more into it. Where did you hear about it? Seeing as you drink lots of water is your CM not plentiful already? Did you consider pre-seed?

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Morning,

Steal, your DH is definitely a keeper. I'm sure our DH's are going to be great dad's . Thank you for the ring compliments. I have to confess that I love it so much that I have not worn my WB in a couple of months I don't want anything but my ring to shine in its own .

charbie, baby fever? You should visit newborns more often, We cannot wait for you to join us in full

Mrs, Welcome to TTC, I hope you don't have to stay here for too long. Wishing you a summer baby.

Princess, how are you doing?

dreamer, go and test . j/k I honestly think is a good idea to hold as much as you can. I just hate to see BFN

dcgator. I'm so glad that you and your DH are feeling better. Sending you tons of dust for a successful IUI.

Moxie, Good look in the bedding marathon

This was a so-so weekend for me. Friday night I started having some pain in one eye, by Saturday morning my eye was very puffy that I had to go to the Dr. at the moment. They say it was in infection b/c of makeup with oil . So now only free oil creams and makeup for me . Anyways. It go really bad by the night. I felt like a million of knives poking at the my eye that I had to go and cry at the bathroom then I felt like a moron b/c this is nothing compare with so many people sickness and I felt I had to be stronger to be a mommy Anyway, all the silliness went away and I feel better now. I still have a half close half size lemon eye but getting better and better.

I have not test but I'm feeling cramps, so I'm sure tomorrow will be CD1, I don't feel that bad this month, I just feel I have to work harder and follow dreamer's example

 

[princessplease]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

DC- You're welcome. I know its all funky this month, but today, temp was 97.40, with it hovering around high 96's the past three days, so I'm hoping that was my temp increase!!!! Just to be safe, though, I told DH we'll BD every other day until AF comes or BFP. I just want some sort of sign that my body is ovulating Much dust for embarking to IUI again!!!

DD- Getting excited for your 12 DPO!!!!!!!!!!!! Much much dust!!!!!!!!

Steal- Of course I understand! I know my hubby is a big 'manly ego' man, and he'd have a very hard time agreeing to a SA if it boiled down to that. He seems so dedicated to starting a family with you, which is so great!! It must take a lot for a man to agree, IMO, because (at least in my experience with DH), I'm sure they can get depressed and may even feel like a 'failure' (Even though that is not even remotely the case. It's just that man ego talking). Sending positive vibes to your DH through you.

Gaby- I'm so sorry about your eye infection! You're going to be a wonderfully mommy, so you're definitely allowed to hurt! Eye issues are horribly painful!! Have you tried bare escentuals? It's completely oil/dye/gook free powder foundation that is amazing!!! I'm doing ok, just hanging out in whatever limbo I'm in, ugh. I'm hoping the sticky stretchy mucus from last week was EWCM, and that either AF (which would be good because I'd know I was ovulating) will come or a BFP (so I know I ovulated!!) so I know what the hell is going on lol! I HOPE AF is not coming tomorrow, and it's implantation cramping!!!!!!

 

[Dreamer_D]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Steal You are a very kind and understanding wife I am much more bossy when it comes to things that affect us both equally. But my DH knows that about me and loves it -- maybe But I am glad your hubby is willing to look into it. No matter what, I think knowing is better than not knowing. And yup, I am going mental at 8DPO. Trying to distract myself and hoping that my LP is at least 10 DPO if it is not a BFP this month. I have actually only charted three cycles in my life -- the one before BFP, the one with BFP, and this one. And that first cycle was soon after the pill and was wonky with what looked like a rather short LP and no CF at all. So I do not have much data to go on here about knowing what to predict, other than the last 6 months observing my CF, which suggests a 10-11 day LP. So here is hoping for either a BFP or at least a 10 day LP!

Gaby cramping is also very common in early pregnancy, so you are not out until AF shows up! Still hoping!

 

[dragonfly411]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Hey everyone, just popping in to *wave* and cheer you all on!

Steal - I'm glad your hubby is open to getting the test done!

DC - never change. Never ever.

I've got my fingers crossed for you ladies. I'm still semi charting for the sake of knowledge and knowing my body, but nothing else really but I love lurking in here to read how you ladies are and cheer you on when I can.

 

[Steel]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

The good news is that I have a crazy amt of EWCM, the bad news is that DH is away and even if he were here I have my colposcopy/biopsy tomorrow at 9am and it is required that you do not BD 24hrs in advance of the appt. We BD'ed yesterday but I'd say unless we DTD tomorrow (ouch! + not recommended) we might miss this month - for the first time ever .

I gotta say I'm not happy about the exam tomorrow and I will ask if the biopsy is absolutely necessary - until now I have never really asked questions, I've lived on the side of don't ask won't know but I've decided I will ask what my assessment is.

Puppmom - I'm sorry I meant to thank you for your input on the DH knowledge base question. Thanks!

Mrs- I'm sorry that I forgot to add you to the CD/DPO chart.

CDN: Where are you!!!!!

 

[CDNinNYC]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Hi Steal! Missed you! I'm sorry for being MIA for so long. Like most of you, I'm someone who, when I want something, go all out for it. All this waiting around during TTC makes me a bit anxious and obsessive and feeling out of control. DH made a comment to me about it and I do see his point, so I'm trying to be good. At the same time, it's hard to stay distracted for long, especially when I have a lot of free time on my own. With DH working crazy long hours and me being a 'forced housewife', the siren call of the internet is mighty tempting.

I'm sorry to read about the crummy timing of your colposcopy/biopsy. Hopefully, your timing was good enough.

DC, I was very sorry to read of your BFN. It sounds like you have a great plan of action for this cycle, though, with the injectables. Sending you lot's of good thoughts.

I agree with Bella. No more 'barren' talk!

As for me, other than twiddling my thumbs and stealing emoticons from the internet , there's not much going on with me at CD11. I have another week to go before Oing. Yippee for me.

Since, we've had a bit of a dry spell here, it's time to bring out the big guns, so no more dust!!!

PS: has anyone seen the documentary 'Google Baby'?

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Steal and CDN--
I don't know where you 2 find those emoticon.
the mascot for team waiting for AF not.
And love the siggy for baby cement.

DC--
*big hugs*
sorry to hear about the BFN.
I agree w/ Bella -- none of this barren talk. We will all get there one way or the other.
Glad to hear that you are going forward w/ another round of IUI with injectibles this time.
Don't let my and PT's 3 failed attempt discouraged you.
Keep in mind that we both only did the clomid w/ the IUI -- which has a lot lower success rate than IUI w/ injectibles.
My IUI were pretty since I didn't do injectibles or trigger -- I just had to pay for the 2 copay for office visit and 1 copay for the medication.

Steal--
Good luck w/ the colposcopy tomorrow.
Speedy recovery for you.

[Bella_mezzo]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Okay, your emoties are killing me CD 14 and holding strong. We BD yesterday and i was um...energetic... so we're waiting until tomorrow morning to give it another go

It's funny TTC while we are so into the adoption process. I am totally not stressed any more about getting pregnant right now, honestly, my hope would sort of be not to get pregnant until after our adoption is complete, but since I'm not a spring chicken and since we do want to get pregnant too if possible, we're both happy parallel tracking to see which happens first and then we'll do the other one second (hopefully), but it is indeed a funny feeling being pulled both ways. I'm like, oh EWCF, lets go, BD-time, but then I'm like, wait, if we get pregnant I have to re-do all the paperwork I've already done next year to re-start the adoption process and it might be harder to bond if there's another kid here demanding time too, and then we have to worry about birth order and all kinds of crazy stuff... I know God has exactly the right kids for our family and they will end up with us, but sheesh, waiting and not knowing sucks!

Major hugs and baby cement to everyone

Oh, Steal, I hope that your test tomorrow is ok and not so yucky!

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Just wanted to pop in to say hi!

DD- Sorry it took me a bit to respond. I'm not a SAHM. I work 4 days a week but my shifts are from 5am-1pm so it makes for a long day once I get home and get into mommy mode.

Steal- The month I got pg with DS we BDed the two days before the EWCM showed up and well, those guys last a few days from what I'm told! Hang in there... you just never know!

I don't have time to address everyone but I'm still reading through and kepeing my fingers crossed for some BFP's this month! I'm on CD18 and we're doing the every other day method. We'll see... I think if nothing happens this month I'll go out and buy an OPK and see if I can get at least a reading on one of those next month. If not, I think we'll be venturing back to the Dr and getting another perscription for Clomid. I took it before because I wasn't ovulating. They tested me for PCOS and eveything else, but that's all they came up with was simply just not ovulating. Even the month we conceived DS they did a mid-month ultrasound and I only had one follie that was 13mm and we thought it was a bust. This TTC stuff just makes no sense sometimes! How is everyone else hanging? I know the 2ww is the longest 14 days ever! Thank goodness for cheap dollar store pg tests!
