Re: The Official TTC Thread!
It's taken me half an hour to catch up and I have to say I'm sitting with tears in my eyes as there have been some extremely emotional posts and it's so hard not to get caught up in the pendulum of emotion going on here. From the elated and excited bfps to the despair and sadness of yet another bfn and the journey continuing.
I inentionally kept off my ttc boards as the last 2ww has been hard. I honestly thought we had done it this time. I started getting mild cramps from 4dpo and this continued up to 10dpo where I had the strongest shooting pains for about 20mins in my right ovary. I'd never experienced this before and thought ooooh this must be implantation and allowed myself to hope. I've been dogtired and very hormonal so definitely felt like there was something going on but also doubting myself that my mind was playing tricks on me. Then on Wednesday - poof........nothing, no cramps, no hormones, I felt fantastic and positive and realised that it hadn't happened. Af arrived yesterday with her suitcase.
Right, it's going to happen I know it is, I just need to keep, sorry WE need to keep going and remain positive. We've decided to give it another 6 months and if nothing has changed, it's off to the doctors and we're also going to go down the adoption road. I need to be a mother and if it's not to my own biological children then it will be a mother to my adopted children.
So that's me back in the fold and on track again.

Re: The Official TTC Thread!
LA- Here's hoping to implantation spotting!!!!!!!!!!!1
Po- I'm sorry AF came Much much dust for this cycle.
AFM, 7DPO today. Still LOTS of creamy CM. Temp dropped to 97.4 yesterday, then shot up to 98.8 today. Yesterday started crazy vertigo when I got up from laying down. I NEVER experienced that before. BBs are sore since last night, including nips that started being sore 2DPO. JFF, I POAS today, and of course, BFN as expected. Those damn FRER tempt me SO badly lol!!! I've been having some sharp, quick cramps on right side that last about 2 seconds and then go away. Just (im)patiently waiting here!!!!

Re: The Official TTC Thread!
Oh and I had this crazy dream that I woke up next Sunday (day AF is due) POAS, and got a BFP. It was on a test that gives a + in the results window. I then woke DH up and told him about the BFP, and he was estatic (in the dream of course!!!) Freaky, because I typically don't remember my dreams.

Re: The Official TTC Thread!
Thanks gaby!
Po- Such a sweet and heart wrenching post. It made me cry. It breaks my heart to see women who deserve to be mothers, who yearn with every fiber in their bodies, having a hard time conceiving, while there are kids having unprotected sex and getting KU.
My heart goes out to all of the women on here who are struggling to get a BFP. Y'all are some of the strongest women I know!!!!!

Re: The Official TTC Thread!
PO: I am so sorry for what you are going through. I know the 2WW gets harder and harder. You WILL get your BFP.
Princess: Good luck to you! I hope this month is it for you.
CD 21 for me and no confirmed O yet.... O was cd 26 last month so I continue to POAS and hope for a smiley on the OPK.

Re: The Official TTC Thread!
As for me, at 13DPO my cramps got a lot worse and AF came to visit! It was a very light period that lasted all of about a day and a half, but it was accompanied by a dramatic temp drop of about a full degree (none of this gradual temp reduction i see in so many nice charts!). I'm assuming it was so light/short because it's that first-cycle-off-BCP thing. So, I'm CD3 as of today!

Re: The Official TTC Thread!
Sorry for the drive-by... I only have a minute. My sister is pregnant. They tried once. Not one month--ONCE. She hasn't told me yet but my younger sister spilled the beans... I am super excited for them but feeling more convinced something is wrong with me... I am also a little hurt that she's told the rest of my family but is walking on egg shells around me. But then again maybe these mixed emotions are a good indication of why she feels that way... Okay, back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Re: The Official TTC Thread!
Congrats, Dreamer! What a wonderful time of year to have a baby! Sending you lots of healthy pregnancy dust.
Moxie, I know how you feel. When DH and I were TTC, it felt like everyone we knew got pregnant right away or *by accident*. It really isn't the norm though. It'll happen for you!

Re: The Official TTC Thread!
Thanks, Puppmom for the words of understanding and encouragement! So appreciated... I'm a little embarrassed that I had mixed emotions initially. I know it's so not the norm (although admittedly it feels that way at times) and I'm actually super excited and looking forward to HER telling me so that we can celebrate it... It is hurtful however that every month when I've seen a negative (or AF if she gets there before I test), she's made suggestions that something is wrong, to call the doctor, have I been tested for PCOS, is my endo back??... I feel like she's pathologizing my actually quite normal "not pregnant on the first... second... third try" experience, which is now stopping her from sharing her good news, too. While I would love to be pregnant (oh god how I would love it!) and I'm momentarily jealous when others seem to get there effortlessly, I don't feel any less excitement for babies babies everywhere. ESPECIALLY for my sister, who already has given me the world's greatest gift in the form of the world's most adorable nephew. Now it's like a good news standoff! I'm over the jealous and ready to celebrate it with mocktails and anything but sushi and cold cuts...
THANK GOD I can reveal the full crazy here...

Re: The Official TTC Thread!
Princess, I'm so hoping your dream comes true!!
LAJennifer, how are you doing? Hoping you get your BFP this month!
WOIN, sorry you didn't conceive last month but yay for a new one already. my cycles were soooo long when I went off BC but I conceived the second cycle trying. I hope you do too!
Po, I'm so sorry about your disappointment this month... It's so hard when you feel really good about your chances and then AF shows up. Sending hugs your way. I hope this month is your month!!
modern sparkler, how was your retreat? I hope you timed your BD just right on friday!
moxie, wow! Good for your sister! One time and they're pregnant!? Amazing. I wish we were all so lucky! I'll be sending sticky dust her way. I'm sorry she hasn't told you yet - that sucks. And I'm sorry her positive makes you feel like there must be something wrong with you. That's not a good feeling... I hope that isn't the case though and that you get pregnant ASAP!
Hi everyone else!
AFM: CD10 here. I'm still not temping (I rarely sleep through the night these days so I feel like it wouldn't be accurate) but this is the first month that I'm checking CF internally and it seemed rather egg white like yesterday so we BDed last night... And we'll probably try for every day/every other day for the next week or so... fingers crossed we make it work this month.
This weekend we spent some time with friends who reminded me that it took them 9 months (and 2 losses) before they were able to conceive their 2nd. Its only been 2 months for us but (of course) I was hoping it would happen immediately. Almost all of my friends are pregnant right now so it seems like all I can think about... I keep reminding myself that it'll happen when it should.
Last night I was watching Giulliana & Bill on TLC which reminded me how hard this journey can be... Made my heart hurt for everyone here who has been TTC for 6 mos + and everyone who has experienced a loss. My heart goes out to all of you!

Re: The Official TTC Thread!
Alright, I have a minute to catch my breath and catch up with everyone:
Mrs: I feel you on the "all my friends are pregnant now" sentiment. I can't temp either; I get up at least 3x a night and I'm a restless sleeper. Although, if things don't work out this month I may crack out the old thermometer. I also have to admit that I totally thought it would happen right away too, just as I had planned--ha! Oh type A.... silly girl. Now that it hasn't I keep thinking each month will get easier. I'll let you know when that actually becomes the truth.
WOIN: Sorry about AF! Hopefully now that you're onto a new cycle that will get easier to read post B.C. Your body just may need some time to get used to operating on its own. Mine did for sure.
Modernsparkler: I'm hoping you see some smileys soon! I think I may invest in smileys so that I can work part time when fake baby becomes real baby. Good luck with the babymaking, especially once you have the long-awaited smiley!
PrincessPlease: When are you thinking about testing again? It's still definitely early so you're not out yet. I'm with you on crazy dreams--I had breastfeeding dreams last night... my "baby" was ADORABLE though!
Po: I'm so sorry to hear that you're having a difficult time as of late. I am thinking of you as you go forward and wishing you all the best.
LAJ: any updates from you? I love that you're pricescoping on Ambien. I love that pricescoping is now a verb. Dust to you--hoping you have good news quite soon!
PumpkinPie: how are you doing? Any news or updates from your neck of the woods?
AFM I'm just hanging out 5DPO and trying to not think about it or about how slowly time is passing. It's not working. I had good feelings about this month but now doubt has set in; I'm still doing my best to fight it off at every turn. I don't want to get too hopeful so as to be let down and I also don't want to get too cynical so as to be a total curmudgeon, so I'm desperately seeking some balance. If anyone's discovered the secret to that strategy, let me know asap!! Have a good day.

Re: The Official TTC Thread!
PP- Thank you!
MS-Thank you! Here's hoping O comes soon!! I hope you see the lol ol smiley guy soon!!
WOIN- Sorry AF came Get ready for BD marathon soon I'm feeling you on the post BC cycle BS. It stinks
Moxie- Thank you! I'm going to test again on Wednesday, 10 DPO. Congrats on your sis's PG!!! I'm sorry that she didn't tell you though I completely understand how you feel! It's completely normal to have mixed emotions, esp when people get there so effortlessly. It's so hard to have the mixed emotions, but you're completely allowed to feel that way. Much dust for your BFP soon! I'm 8DPO, so we can bust the crap out of the 2ww together!!
Mrs- Thank you! Much dust to BDing marathon this month
AFM, not much. 8DPO, CM still creamy and cervix feels wet still. I'm pretty tired, a little nausea today after eating.Cervix has felt wet and creamy CM since O day. BBs are still sore, ESP nips. I'm waiting till Wed (10DPO) to test, but I feel like I'm counting myself out. I'm just scared of the sadness and disappointment a BFN will bring I just read all this info about implantation dips, spotting, cramps, etc, and don't have any of that, so I just feel like I'm out. I'm a negative Debbie Downer by nature, and I'd rather be brought up by BFP than brought down by BFN, thinking there may be a BFP. I just feel like there is no possible way we could've caught the egg the 1st cycle after BCP. I just want AF to come if we get BFN so we can get cracking on the next cycle. Ugh, sorry for the negative vent!!
Sorry for the goofy alien faces. Silly iPhone!

Re: The Official TTC Thread!
Moxie - congratulations to your sister and I will ditto the others in saying that it's ok to have mixed feelings - my friend just got pregnant on her first try as well, 3 months after stopping the pill after being on it for 13 years straight! I hope you and your sister can begin to celebrate soon and that you'll have your own BFP to celebrate soon
Princessplease - good luck testing on Wednesday. I understand the Debbie Downer instinct (how can I be upset when I'm prepared for the worst?) but I hope that you're wrong
I'm on CD 15 - no sign of EWCM yet as far as I can tell - just waiting around for it to show up this cycle and getting some sexytime in just in case

Re: The Official TTC Thread!
Moxie: Sorry about what you are going through with your sister It is exciting for your family but understandably tough since you have yet to get your BFP. Feel free to continue your rants and "crazy" but it IS quite normal to take up to 1 year to get pregnant. It will happen. For now, I hope you can have some sushi and make your sis jealous
MRS: Good luck with the BD marathon!
Princess: I know what you mean about expecting the worst and hoping for the best. It would be amazing to get KU your first cycle of BC but it can of course take a bit longer than that. Don't count yourself out until the fat lady sings though!
Pumpkin: Have fun with the sexytime. I hope you get your confirmed O soon.
Still no smiley... Ugh. CD 21 and waiting impatiently....

Re: The Official TTC Thread!
I think no matter what, everyone tries to prepare for the worst when TTC and just waiting waiting each month. There is so little about the whole process that is in our control, its like a big random thing it seems to me and you just have to strap in a nd go along for the ride!
Dust to all the ladies! Hoping for lots of lovely August babies!

Re: The Official TTC Thread!
L2L- Any EWCM??
PP- Thank you!! Enjoy BD
MS- Thank you! Any smiley???
AFM, 9 DPO. Temp dropped to 97.85 from 98.60 yesterday (I did get up at 6:00 to pee, so it may be skewed b/c of that) Nausea yesterday afternoon after eating grapes for a snack, and after ice cream for dessert. I had a goofy metal taste in my mouth for about 15 minutes last night. CM still creamy, seems to have increased in amount. Today, peed 4 times before 10am (no h20 or drinking), and mild yet annoying cramping from about 9-11, then on and off. May be PMS for AF, but I don't ever remember having PMS symptoms pre BC. I do remember getting very bad cramps during AF. Going to test tomorrow with FMU.

AFM, 9 DPO. Temp dropped to 97.85 from 98.60 yesterday (I did get up at 6:00 to pee, so it may be skewed b/c of that) Nausea yesterday afternoon after eating grapes for a snack, and after ice cream for dessert. I had a goofy metal taste in my mouth for about 15 minutes last night. CM still creamy, seems to have increased in amount. Today, peed 4 times before 10am (no h20 or drinking), and mild yet annoying cramping from about 9-11, then on and off. May be PMS for AF, but I don't ever remember having PMS symptoms pre BC. I do remember getting very bad cramps during AF. Going to test tomorrow with FMU.

Re: The Official TTC Thread!
Hey ladies,
Just a quick drive-by post because I have oodles of work here.
Dreamer - CONGRATS on your BFP!!!
I am so very happy for you, your DH, and Hunter, aka big brother I wish you a very happy and healthy nine months!
LAJenn - Any news?
Princess - The signs sound really positive. I will be anxiously checking PS when I get in tomorrow morning!
Moxie - Hang in there girly. I know the 2WW sucks, but you will be able to test soon. And as for the balance issue, I find it pretty elusive as well. I am the one who gets excited, but I try my best to temper it. However, I also can't wait till AF to test b/c the let down would be too much for me. I am more of a gradual person, so that's my little solution.
Modern - I have my fingers crossed for you that O comes soon. Good luck catching that eggie!
WOIN - Sorry about AF coming, but good luck in your new cycle!
RC - Congrats again on the great betas! Please keep us updated

AFM, I am on CD 11. I did my Clomid from CD 4-8 and a Follistm injection on CD8. As some of your ladies kindly asked, yes, I had my monitoring appt yesterday. They found three smaller eggs, so they had me do another dose of Follistm last night. I went back this morning for more monitoring, and my three little piggies have plumped up nicely, to 22.7, 18.1 and 19.9. So, they will have me trigger tonight and go in on Thursday for my IUI. Yeah for more targets! All in all, I am feeling pretty psyched for this cycle and am super hopeful it will work this time, especially since we have better odds, so to speak. Truth be told, I am a wee bit worried about having more than one eggie get fertilized, but I would MUCH prefer that to the alternative of more treatments and unsuccessful procedures. So, here we go... I appreciate any luck/dust you ladies could send this way.
Good luck to all you ladies, wherever you may be in your cycle and lots of dust to our 2WW'ers!
