The Official TTC Thread!

Congrats April, that's a BFP! My FRERs were really decent by the time my cheapies looked like that. When will you take the other test?

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Thanks AMC! I'm thinking I will do the FRER on Monday, which will be 13DPO. I'm going to do another IC tomorrow for grins and giggles. I'm really surprised how visible the line is for 9DPO, especially on a IC.

Congrats April!! That looks great for 9DPO! I had a pack of internet cheapies and they didn't show a line until 15 DPO or something (dollar store ones showed on 8 or 9DPO).

Keep posting those pics - it is exciting to see!

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Congrats, April!!!! How is keeping this news a secret going for you??? I could never do it!

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

I said I was goin to hold off until Monday for the FRER. Yeah. Right. Delusional much?

Here is 10DPO. Line is there, but I can't decide if it's a decent line for 10DPO. I'm gun-shy after the CP two cycles ago. That's part of why I'm keeping it to myself.

Looks pretty freaking good! You could keep checking and wait a few days after AF is due to make sure it's not another chemical, just for peace of mind. Sticky dust!

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Thanks guys! I went back and looked at the "line" pic I posted from my CP and this is better. I've decided to quit temping. It honestly gives me too much anxiety thinking it will drop. So let's all hope this sticks!!!!

We are on our way to Nashville today- my gfather is in the hospital and I want to see him. He's stabilized and they know the issue now, so that's great. We're just doing an overnight and are planning to hit a nice restaurant. We never get to stay in the city when we go up there. My family is about 45 mins out and we always stay there, which means we never get to "play". So while I hate why we're headed up, I'm happy to have a little fun time while there. And it will keep my mind off things.

Congrats April on BFP!

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Okay, I'm feeling a little more confident. I did another IC this morning to compare to the last one. Here's 9DPO vs 12DPO. I love seeing the lines get darker.

I've got one last FRER. I'm going to bust it out tomorrow I think.

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

One week away from predicted O date. I've been having issues with my sinuses (chronic sinusitis and polyps) so I'm taking mucinex for the next week to help drain them. I figured it couldn't hurt with my CM either so bonus for me. I also bought preseed so we'll be trying that too. Just gearing up for O!

What did you decide on the Fertilitea?

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

I'm skipping it this month to see what happens on my own. If this month is wacky I'll be back on it next month. Here's hoping that won't be necessary

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Hello TTC! I'm officially joining your thread after my epic 82 day cycle we decided we might as well start TTC as it might take a while! i had an ultrasound where the sonographer said straight away i had PCOS but that it did look like id just ovulated, but then i went back to my GP and she says still inconclusive wether i have PCOS. so now i have a referral to an OBGYN who i will hopefully call for an appt tomorrow find out what the hell is going on. also need to make an appt with a psychologist to help get over my IV/blood test phobia since they are very likely in my future.

Congrats April its been a week since your last update how are you going?

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Welcome HP! I think April has mostly moved on to the JBP thread and we are pretty much alone over here as we were in planning, lol. I'm glad that you have been able to take steps towards figuring out what you need to have a baby and a healthy cycle, best of luck at the appointments!

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

I know I'm talking to myself but I got my positive OPK! Wish me luck and a temp spike!

Yay on the + OPK! I hope you get your temp spike!

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Good luck AHL!

Welcome HP and good luck to you too!

I'm still here. After no luck in October we took November off. At the beginning of the month I was under a ton of work stress, having panic attacks, and didn't want to add in the chance of getting KU to that until it was under control. Feeling much better now and expecting to O this weekend so back in the game.

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Finally got my temp spike today! Here's to the TWW!

Yay!

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

The TWW is over, AF started last night and is full force today. I'm actually relieved to not be pregnant. I spent the last 6 days in the hospital having CT, MRI, lumbar puncture, and who knows what meds pumped into me. All is well enough for now and I'm not seriously ill but I was very worried about being pregnant. Whew, on to the next month!

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Gearing up for BD week! We've been hitting -2 and -3 these last two cycles so this time we are adjusting things a bit to aim for -1 and O day. Predicted O is one week away so it's time to get busy! Here's for some new year luck!

 

[JGator]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

AHL, good luck. Sorry to hear you were sick. I hope this is your cycle! Sounds like you have a good plan.

 

[Asscherhalo_lover]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Positive OPK came early this month at CD11! I usually ovulate after 2 days of positive OPK so that would put me at most likely CD13 for ovulation. Bases are covered for today, gotta see if we can muster up the energy for the next two! Wish us luck!

Good luck! Hope this one is a winner for you.

I'm just waiting for CD1 so we can jump back into 2015 TTC.

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

glad to hear you are feeling better AHL

stephbolt did you have any luck in december?

welcome back baby monster

its full steam ahead for us my cycle is still all kinds of wack so i have no idea when i will ovulate, i've been using opk's and have yet to get a positive and have just started temping. i'm not sure how accurate temping will be as my sleep tends to be quite disruptive in the mornings i toss and turn alot. so we're just doing it as much as possible and crossing our fingers, i think DH is shocked that he can get it whenever he wants now. I do have an appt with an OBGYN for Jan 28 which will be good if im still having trouble with my cycle.

also we both quit smoking just before xmas. sometimes i find this easy but today was my first day back at work and it was very difficult. i keep telling DH, we're not doing it for us we're doing it for the little people!
