[Hobbermittens]

TTC5, hope that was implantation spotting! And congrats on the job!

[Hobbermittens]

We DTD last night, and this morning the opk was even darker, so I wonder if it wasn't all the way positive last night? Anyway,we did it early because DH is always so tired after the kids go to bed, so we let the kids watch a movie and we snuck off... naughty!! I lay down for 2 hours afterwards and DH put the kids to bed, but I finally had to get up to go pee, so I put in an instead cup. Do you think that's okay? is 2 hrs long enough to lay down? Usually we DTD and then go to sleep, but I couldn't do that this time, so I hope I didn't let any swimmers escape!:worry:

[TTC5]

Hoping to see some more BFPs soon ladies!

I got my results today, hcg was quite low so I am pretty sure it's a chemical :( Have to go back on Monday for another blood test. This feels horrible :( I never imagined how hard it would be to experience a loss. I can't imagine what it feels like further along in a pregnancy.

Oh Bec :( xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[TTC5]

3P - Looking soo good!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Thanks for the congrats everyone!!

Hobbers, 2 hrs is plenty :)

[TTC5]

ASF: Well think my outburst yesterday is AF related after all... as my temps the last 3 mornings are slowely falling (see my chart) and perhaps the spotting is pre AF. I do feel crampy today. MY LP is still days off AF being due, though so I don't know.. 10 dpo ad bfn on IC.

[My Fabulous Children]

Hi ladies!!!

Guess what? I didn't get a BFP today BUT I got a 12 month contract position for work next year doing what I love most!!!!!! Soooo excited for 2012!!

Also...

Today I was at my neighbours talking and I BURST in to tears, real breakdown style OMG!!!!! I also had a little spotting too 9dpo and I NEVER EVER spot and I only get teary the day before AF comes... Whilst crying I kept thinking OMG I'm pregnant but ugh trying to talk myself out of it as I don't want to get my hopes up at all... 9 dpo is this too late for implantation spotting?

Congrats on the new job! and spotting at 9dpo, it sounds very promsing!

[My Fabulous Children]

i gotchya i felt that way too. but didnt want to forget anything. my 1st appt is jan9...around 10.5 wks.

so hopefully something is there or i am just seeing things bc ive had absolutely no symptoms this 3rd pgcy. i mean there are some light thngs but i could make excuses for them (weather, didnt get much sleep). still dont feel pg and trying to cut down on weights afely. havent been able to do that but maintaining. hope im still pg.

No symptoms at all for me either, I am just hungry all the time. My appt around the 9 weeks and I'm hoping everything will go fine IA. I hope all is going well with your pregnancy Good luck, KUP.

Oh no Bec, I really hope your numbers go up in the next few days and you have a sticky baby... Hope Monday comes quickly and you get good news, Good luck dear x

[My Fabulous Children]

3p1b~ You look great! Beautiful belly :pregnant:.

[Cinss]

Bec, i really hope it's not chemical. I lost my first pregnancy at 10 weeks, so i know there are no words that will make you feel better, just know that we are all hoping and praying that your bean sticks!

5 what did the spotting look like? Brown, pink, scanty?

LBAM how is the HPT looking today?

MFC you are so lucky, just hunger symptoms... that sounds boy to me, fx

Hobber Goodluck to you, i am about a week behind you ttc :)

I wasn't blood, it was more like Cloudy CM mixed with a tinge of light brown. Only when I wiped. Nothing since though.

Wow Hobber 2 hours?! I can't wait that long girl, lol. I usually just prop my hips for 30-45 min then I use the instead cup.

[love being a mummy]

As For Me :)

Damn bfn for you too :(

:( :(

[My Fabulous Children]

TTC5 ~ I think its still too early ..My temp went up at 12dpo ... and a BFP that day.

LBAM~ How many DPO are you? Sorry for the BFN. I tested with 2 different HPTs on 11dpo, the frer was nagtive, but the Dollar Tree New Choice was faint positive I thought it was an evap, but I was wrong.

[Cinss]

Pregnancy tests range in sensitivity from 10mIU/ml to 40 mlU/ml. The lower the number, the more sensitive the test, and the earlier it can detect pregnancy.

[Cinss]

I wasn't blood, it was more like Cloudy CM mixed with a tinge of light brown. Only when I wiped. Nothing since though.

Well that definatly sounds like implantation to me, you are not close enough to your AF for it to be that starting...Test in 2-3 days to give you body time to produce the hCG.

[love being a mummy]

TTC5 ~ I think its still too early ..My temp went up at 12dpo ... and a BFP that day.

LBAM~ How many DPO are you? Sorry for the BFN. I tested with 2 different HPTs on 11dpo, the frer was nagtive, but the Dollar Tree New Choice was faint positive I thought it was an evap, but I was wrong.

I think I am about 11dpo. Today is CD35

CD24: +OPT and EWCM

I was going to count 2 days after +opt as O day but I also got EWCM on cd24 so I thought I was Oing then.
I was told that O can happen after EWCM has dried up.
So I am really unsure

CD24: +OPT and Big Blob EWCM
CD25: +OPT and some ewcm
CD26: +OPT and small amount of EWCM

DTD CD24 and CD26

So I could probably be about 9dpo - 11dpo

Sorry if that is all confusing

[Hobbermittens]

Wow Hobber 2 hours?! I can't wait that long girl, lol. I usually just prop my hips for 30-45 min then I use the instead cup.

I had a pillow under my bum and my legs up in the air that WHOLE TIME!! Can you believe it??

Do you get up and go pee after you put in the instead cup?

[TTC5]

I had a pillow under my bum and my legs up in the air that WHOLE TIME!! Can you believe it??

LOL I had FOUR pillows under my bum, DH had them jam packed under me it was soooo funny lol

Sorry if that is all confusing

Some women do get ewcm after ov has happened ..I agree, I think you are about 9dpo- 11dpo, but more likely 9dpo! GL on testing again.

[My Fabulous Children]

I had a pillow under my bum and my legs up in the air that WHOLE TIME!! Can you believe it??

Do you get up and go pee after you put in the instead cup?

I hope you get your BFP this time so you won't have your legs up in the air for 2 hours again :wink: FX!

I usually try not to pee, but sometimes I couldn't hold it anymore :oops:.

[My Fabulous Children]

LOL I had FOUR pillows under my bum, DH had them jam packed under me it was soooo funny lol

:rofl: Hey the same thing happened to me everytime we make an attempt, but not FOUR pillows, LOL. I think it's funny and embarrassing to me :rofl:

[TTC5]

LOL the things we do!!!! He had me all loaded up with v shaped pillows and then piled mobile phones and laptops all around me HAHAHAHA

[Cinss]

LOL the things we do!!!! He had me all loaded up with v shaped pillows and then piled mobile phones and laptops all around me HAHAHAHA

Aww he is so helpful... love that!!!

[love being a mummy]

Well it's not looking good, starting to get some cramps and my usual pre-AF nausea.

[Cinss]

Well it's not looking good, starting to get some cramps and my usual pre-AF nausea.

boooooooooooooo

[TTC5]

Well it's not looking good, starting to get some cramps and my usual pre-AF nausea.

Oh no :(

[TTC5]

Bec, how are you going?

[Kris217]

Aww bugger!

[Kris217]

Well I ended up taking the heart monitor off. The patches they stuck to my skin to attach it to were really irritating me. I must be allergic to them, so now I have 2 massive red welt type marks on my skin which are still itchy! I think 3 days of monitoring will be enough to pick up any problems. If not they can do an ECG or EKG whatever it is they do.

[3Pink1Blue]

Hobber - 2 hours is plenty, I'm amazed you were able to get up after that lol FX for a bfp!

5- I think it things still look ok! I'm with Cinns, give it a few more days :)

Kris - FX they got enough data and your welts go away soon.

LBAM - don't give up yet hun :)

Thanks ladies! I'm lovin the belly but boy does it take some effort to hoist my butt of the couch lol Feeling good though and amazingly still sleeping well :)

[TTC5]

Hope they can give you answers Kris!!

11 dpo and BFN OF COURSE! Temp rose though. I don't think I am anyway

[love being a mummy]

Another BFN
I don't even know how many DPO I am, this cycle has been so confusing and messed up.
I just wish AF would arrive, just this cycle has been so long feels like I've been waiting forever to test.
I'm about 10-12dpo I think.

[love being a mummy]

Today is CD36, last time we DTD was CD26
So something should be showing up by now if I am pregnant ?

I think O was around CD24 - CD26

[3Pink1Blue]

oh come on now ladies, it's not over till it's over :fx:

[love being a mummy]

Yeah I know :( Just makes you lose hope we you get to 12dpo and still getting BFN

[Cinss]

I feel for you, what is happening with the blue ink HPT's you were doing, i thought you were fading in? Last month my cycle was 45 days long :( hope you get your BPF soon, maybe your HGC horemones are just very low, or you had a late implantation.

[TTC5]

Thanks Jen, but I really feel out. Everyone seems to be getting bfp's by 11 dpo if they are utd.

[Cinss]

Thanks Jen, but I really feel out. Everyone seems to be getting bfp's by 11 dpo if they are utd.

I didn't get a BFP until AF was late 3 days.

[love being a mummy]

Thanks Jen, but I really feel out. Everyone seems to be getting bfp's by 11 dpo if they are utd.

Thats how I feel.

[TTC5]

I didn't get a BFP until AF was late 3 days.

Really? And were you testing every day? What kind of tests were you using?

[love being a mummy]

I think maybe it just wasn't meant to be for me. I put it out there and asked the universe to send me a baby boy, asked if my next son was ready to come to me yet. I said if my son is not ready yet then please don't let me get pregnant.
Maybe I jinxed myself by being so selfish :(

[TTC5]

No your not selfish hun!!!

[Yahmama]

Maybe I jinxed myself by being so selfish :(

I think there's always a reason why we do or don't get pregnant...nothing to do with anything we've done or haven't done, it's just either the right time or it isn't.

[Plum3]

Bec, how are you going?

Not too bad. No spotting or bleeding yet. But I'm just waiting for it :(

[Yahmama]

I just posted my sway in the attempts section...I would love to hear some feedback! This 2ww is driving me nuts!

[TTC5]

Not too bad. No spotting or bleeding yet. But I'm just waiting for it :(

Did they say what your numbers were? xx

[Plum3]

Did they say what your numbers were? xx

Arghh, spoke too soon. Started bleeding. I'm glad it's happened now rather than a week or so later. My beta was only 22 at 14dpo.

I guess now I don't know whether to skip this cycle or just try...

[Cinss]

Really? And were you testing every day? What kind of tests were you using?

Yep i was testing everyday, i was using ebay cheepies, went into my doctors and they used a better one obviously and there was the faintest line, went home and got a really really faint line on the chepies. 3 days after AF was due. That happened both times i fell pregnant, i thought that was just the way it was.

[Kris217]

So sorry Bec :(

[TTC5]

I'm so sorry Bec :'(

Oh cool!!!

Well not sure if this is a good sign but this evening took my bra off and my breasts felt sore at the sides and around the nipple as they "flopped" out of the bra hahahaha I never get sore boobs!

[Alexis2007]

Hi ladies! I just wanted to let all of you know not to give up hope until the witch shows!!! It's not over yet!!!

I just got my bfp today at 15dpo!!!!!!!!!! I must have had a late implantation of 10-11dpo or something cause the line is super duper light!!! I am hoping this is a sticky one!!! Please pray for me!!!

Good luck to all of you!

Now that's got me hoping that I get a BFP later!

[Alexis2007]

Yeah for real!!! I hope it's right!! ;) Right now, I really don't care about gender (haven't been since my chemical in August). I just want a healthy baby!

I tested 9dpo, 10dpo BFN with ICs. Tested on 13dpo and *thought* I saw something but counted it as BFN. Tested this morning since my temp hadn't bottomed out like it usually does the day AF starts and got the faintest of faint of lines. You honestly can barely see it! I'm worried about another chemical, but not much I can do about it!

I really hope this one sticks!!! I don't think I could handle another m/c!

I have been feeling symptoms, gah, for about a week I think. My bbs just *really* started getting sore yesterday at 14dpo. I've been really tired, headaches, dizziness and small bouts of nausea when my tummy is empty. I really thought I was out this cycle when I had the temp drops at 10 and 11dpo. But then it went back up. It has never started dropping that late and gone back up, so I kinda knew something was up.

I hope this gives you ladies new light for you not to give up hope until AF shows up! I'm living proof here! She is due today!

[TTC5]

The temps give me some hope as mine dropped the same and have now shot up!

[TTC5]

Take a look ladies, what do you think? I think it looks good but yeah trying not to get my hopes up as tested bfn 12 dpo today.

LBAM ~ How are you? Anything new?

[Hobbermittens]

Ladies, what do you think--I am having weird symptoms!

I thought I O'ed on CD14, but I am having weird pains today (CD16) that I think might feel like O pains? I haven't really ever had them before, but I felt this pain once, two cycles ago. I can't explain it--it just feels like a weird sharp pain that comes and goes. I guess it could be bowel pain too--I have IBS issues from time to time.

Anyway, my CM is creamy/sticky so I thought I O'ed already. If I am today, then I really wish we had DTD last night--we didn't because I thought the egg was already out and hopefully fertilized a couple days ago! I hope that I am not just O'ing now, because that would mean I have a 36hr cut off! :(

[TTC5]

I can't see your December chart?

It is same as November x

Are you charting?

[Hobbermittens]

Are you charting?

Yes, and my temps are just crawling up! I usually get a slow rise, but this time it went up to 97.6 and then 97.8 over the two days after what I thought was O day. I am sure it will be higher tomorrow. But now I am worried that I have a 36hr cut off. SUcks!!

My 4.5 year old DD just came up to me, rubbed my belly and said "Mummy has a baby in her tummy"..... oh hope she knows something we don't know!!!
Thats a good sign, my DD said that to me when I was pregnant with #3. I didn't know at the time but she did.

I am going ok, no AF yet.


That is an interesting article on HCG levels I hope it's true.

Well ladies, looks like it was another chemical pregnancy :( I just knew something was wrong with that test being so light! I just don't know if I can handle this anymore!!!

[Hobbermittens]

Can I take a look ;)

http://www.fertilityfriend.com/ttc/index.php

Here it is. After I put in today's temp, FF said I O'ed on the day I thought I did, so that's good. I guess there's nothing I can do about it anyway now!

Bec, I'm sorry! I just saw that you were bleeding. :(

[love being a mummy]

I got AF today :(
Just can't believe I am not pregnant. I usually get pregnant by just DTD unprotected once. We dtd so much. I shouldn't have messed with nature.

[Cinss]

LBAM bummer, so sorry, you couldn't have done anything more.

[Hobbermittens]

I got AF today :(
Just can't believe I am not pregnant. I usually get pregnant by just DTD unprotected once. We dtd so much. I shouldn't have messed with nature.

It might just be the pressure of trying. I bet you will get a BFP next cycle. :) Sorry for AF.

Just posted this in the 2ww thread, but wanted to share here too:
"I'm starting to get nervous bc the little things I've been feeling aren't getting more noticeable and my temps are holding steady at their normal rate with no increase....I can't remember when they would normally rise for me, only that I've never gotten a BFP before 12dpo. Maybe this isn't my month either with all the bfn's in the air! Of course, they say boys are more fragile at all stages, so it's prob harder to get a sticky boy bean!"

[3Pink1Blue]

Bec and Alexis - So sorry ladies. Big, big hugs :sad:

5 - sorry you didn't get your bfp this month, fx for next month.

Yahmama - This is why I stopped temping after O, so much less to obsess over. FX you get your bfp!

[Hobbermittens]

Temp dropped this morning and I am now spotting :(

:( I'm sorry!!

[Cinss]

I'm so sorry! This doesn't seem to be a good month for anybody! :(

So much for lucky December

[TTC5]

I was starting to get hopeful especially since I had spotting 9dpo and I NEVER get :(

Silly hormones probably playing tricks :sigh:

The silly season really mess with a lot of us.

[My Fabulous Children]

TTC5 and LBAM~ I'm so sorry ladies :( I really thought this was your month, for both of you.

[My Fabulous Children]

Alexi~ I'm so sorry for your loss ((hugs)) hope you get a quick sticky bfp next month, GL.

[My Fabulous Children]

Bec~ How are you doing? I hope you're feeling better x

Hi. All, just a quick q? How long do u prop hips after dtd? Had an attempt today and propped hips for 45 min but still so wet after! I did use about 5ml of preseed but now worried that I lost all the good stuff what do you think??

I am planning to dtd again on Thursday ad going for o -2 and o attempt, what do you think? Have I stuffed up here?

And thanks!

I used an instead cup to hold everything up there. Kept it in for about 2-3 hours. And I kept hips propped for about an hour. GL!

[Cinss]

Just my opinion here guys, with the propping up of hips thing... I wouldn't do it on a very steep angle, only because your cervix opening is right in the middle of the cervix (imagine a tiny volcano) and if you raise your hips too much, the sperm is going to pool at the bottom and around the edges and will find it more difficult to get in the opening. Personally i will just lie flat for at least 40mins, but obviously the longer the better.

OMG maybe that's my problem cos I had my hipped propped rediculously high!!!!!!

[Kris217]

Yeah I was doing that my first few tries too, like 4 pillows under me. Last time I tried only had 2 and I got pregnant so that could have helped.

Wow, I hadn't thought of that before! :suprise: I had one really thick pillow under me...hope it wasn't too high! :worry:

[Plum3]

3pink, thanks. Onto next cycle!

Yahmama, good luck!

MFC, yes I am feeling better, thanks. I'm CD4 today so am back on Clomid.

Cinss, that's a good point about all the pillows. Makes sense.

After we DTD I usually just lie flat and fall asleep. I always need to pee but I try and hold it til the morning or the early hours at least.

[3Pink1Blue]

I'm on board with less propping. Just laying with your knees to your chest can do the trick, that's how I got my first 4 bfp's, the last two came from laying flat and putting my legs on a step stool, you know 80's sit ups style.

[Hobbermittens]

Wow, I hadn't thought of that before! :suprise: I had one really thick pillow under me...hope it wasn't too high! :worry:

Oh crap! I had my legs way up. I didn't think about that! :( I hope I didn't screw anything up! I was laying down and had my hips on a pillow, with my legs up on the wall. Well, if I am not pregnant this cycle, I will lay flatter next time. :(

[3Pink1Blue]

Hips on one pillow is fine, I'm sure your odds of a bfp are still high :)

[Hobbermittens]

Hips on one pillow is fine, I'm sure your odds of a bfp are still high :)

THanks. THe pillow was kind of flat, too. but I am more worried about how high my legs were! They were at a 45 degree angle, probably. :( I never thought about that. Oh well.

Tell me again what you did? WHat kind of foot stool and was it on the bed? I am having trouble visualizing it.

[3Pink1Blue]

It was a plastic step stool maybe 18 inches high, it was right up against my butt with my calves on it. It tilts your pelvis just enough that nothing runs out. Think laying on the floor with your legs on the couch or on the couch with legs on the arm.
I don't think the massive tilt is a deal breaker just a bit overkill lol

Okay, perfect... if no BFP for me this month, I will try that! Thanks!

[3Pink1Blue]

Fx for ya!!

[Cinss]

So i thought i would be O-2 today, but according to my saliva microscope - its ferning like crazy, and my cm is abundant ew perfectly stretchy, cervix is open and soft, and i am in the dip with my temps, i'd have to say i am Oing today, although my opt's are still negative... Will definatly DTD tonight. It is CD17.

I would definitely trust what your body is telling you over the OPTs! GL!!

[Hobbermittens]

Cinss, good luck tonight!!

[ams]

Hi the same is happening to me!! Waiting for opk to turn positive buy still just a faint second line! My cervix is open and soft and have ewcm ! I did an attempt yesterday at about 11am was hoping to dtd again in the morning as I think this should b o day?? But opk doesn't seem to agree with me!! Agh!! Am worried if I wait too long I will miss it!!! What do u think go for it? It been about 30hours since our last attempt so if I wait till morning would be closer to 40 hours!

So confusing all of this! I am also having o pains ! Do u think I should go for it tonight or tomorrow or wait a few more days to see if I do get a positive? Thanks

[Cinss]

Hi ams... I'd go for it tonight or in the morning, because if you get a + opk tomorrow or the next day you can go for it again in 2 days, but if you don't get a +opk at all you are still in the game.

Are you drinking baking soda at all? i am and, just asking to see if that may affect our opk's.

[ELP]

Good luck ladies!!! Things are sounding perfect for you:agree:

[My Fabulous Children]

Good Luck ladies!!!

[Cinss]

Thanks for all the good lucks.

[ams]

Will finally got a positive opk this morning so went for it then! Think I should o today but will wait and see! Did things a bit different this time! Only used 2ml of preseed with bs, only propped hips under one pillow for about an hour and a half and had big o about 2 hours after dtd to help the swimmers move! Much drier down there after dtd this time so fingers crossed some are on there way!

Any suggestions of what I should be doing today to keep it all going?
And thanks for the well wishes?

[Cinss]

ams, fx for your attempt. Now you just have to keep your blood sugars nice and steady and try to get some + ions.

[Yahmama]

Keep doing bsf until you get a temp shift...and bs drink will help keep your pH up too! GL! :bluecheer:

[Cinss]

Another -ve opk for me today... DTD last night, i am hoping that was my O-2. Temp did not rise yet so i was wrong about Oing yesterday, but all other signs look good for O in the next day or two.

[TTC5]

Good Luck to all who are trying!!

[Plum3]

5, are you trying this month?

Cinss, hopefully O isn't too far off.

Ams, good luck!

Good luck ladies!!

I am 7DPO today, and I was really tired last night...hoping that's a sign! I am just kicking myself about the hip propping though. :( I wish I had thought of what cinss said before I did it. Now I am worried that my legs were too high in the air and I ruined my chances. I also worry that if I AM pregnant, the hip propping will have reduced the ammount of sperm that made it inside and sway girl. :(

[Yahmama]

After all these dud internet cheapo HPTs, I went out and bought a FRER.....and....:running:It's BFP!!!! I couldn't hold it in...after I showed my husband I had to jump on the computer to share with all you ladies who have been so fun to chat with! Thanks for all your :cheerteam: and I'm sending TONS of :bluecheer: to all of you!!! GL!!!

[Cinss]

Hobber... Don't worry about that, you have an excellent chance at a BFP and a BOY.

Yahmama Congratulations, thats great news, sending you sticky vibes and blue dust.

I propped my hips up and conceived my boy, With this pregnancy I did exactly the same, I propped my hip for 40 min. Don't worry about it, try to relax and think positive! Good luck.

[My Fabulous Children]

TTC ~ How are you? Are you trying this month?

[3Pink1Blue]

Cinss - BSD won't affect the opk, it changes pH not hormone levels :wink: Are you checking your cervix as well or just temping and opk'ing?

Hobber - don't worry about it, I'm sure that you did just fine :)

Yahmama - WOOHOO!! Congrats hun!!

Hobber, I had my legs WAY up there too propped up against the wall....and I propped them up the same way when I conceived my DS!! So, it's possible! FX for a :xy: for you!

[Yahmama]

Yay! Congratulations on your BFP! was this your first month trying? And did you DTD once only? Just wondering :)

Thank you! Yes, first month and just once dtd and it ended up being about 12 hours before O. We always seem to get preggo bam first shot, but had 2 miscarriages with my first two and the Dr. realized I have low progesterone, so I go on Progesterone for the first trimester to try to help them stay stuck :)

TY! :) I'm 11dpo...I'm sure if I hadn't bought the FRER I wouldn't have gotten a BFP tomorrow either, though, because it was faint! I'm going to keep trying the cheapos every morning to see what day it finally shows up bfp! I bet it will be 14-15!

Hey 3p1b... thanks, i was just worried BSD would water down the concentration of LH or something. I am temping, OPKing, Saliva Microscoping, monitoring CM and cervix position. Today the microscope is negative, cm is perfect egg white stretchy and cervix is low and open, but still - opk, we are going to go for it tonight anyway, last DTD Wednesday night.

[3Pink1Blue]

Cinss- yep no worries it won't water anything down.
Boy you're checking it all! Was your cervix high/soft/open at all this cycle?

[TTC5]

I feel so low right now girls :( Went to see DH's grandma and she told me how fat I am and how unhealthy I look :( I am 80 kilos and 20 kilos heavier than a year ago but the way she was going on about it was like I am 150kilos :(

[TTC5]

TTC ~ How are you? Are you trying this month?

Was going to but feel like I should lose weight now.. see prior post.

[Cinss]

Cinss- yep no worries it won't water anything down.
Boy you're checking it all! Was your cervix high/soft/open at all this cycle?

Yeah cervix is really soft and open today, and yesterday, i think my body is gearing up for O but there is no egg, really weird, but i think we are just going to DTD every 2nd day and cross our fingers.

[Cinss]

TTC5, so sorry to hear you are feeling down today because of what Grandma said. I have also put on a lot of weight in the past year and the first time my DP said something about it i felt awful :( my mum and dad own a weight loss company so she has said things to me too :( I know i can loose the weight again and i will after my next pregnancy, but deep down i know i want to try my best to get a boy next time around, and i believe that i have to be heavier than i was when i concieved DD, so when i do pop out a son... i am going to have the last laugh :) then jump on the treadmil!

[Yahmama]

I am so sorry that she told you that! I think some people put others down just to make themselves feel better! That is not heavy at all!!! Sending :bighug: to you!

[Hobbermittens]

TTC5, I am sorry she said that to you... sometimes old people have no tact! I know how you feel. I am fatter than I have ever been, and I am terrified that I will just keep getting fatter and never get pregnant!! :(

[3Pink1Blue]

Awe 5, so sorry hun. I heard a bunch of that and got a ton of "holy shit you've gotten big" looks. Screw em, if you get your boy it's worth it, if not you know it wasn't from lack of trying!!

[skrimpy]

Hi ladies! I am just popping in to say Merry Christmas to you all! This month has been so hectic for us I haven't had time for getting on the forums.

Hey everyone, I think I could be knocked up--been very tired, having cramps...can't test for a few more days (I am on CD8). But I just did something so stupid! I was wrestling with our 60lb dog, and I picked her up! It was a total impulse, and I instantly felt a weird twinge in my belly. I hope I didn't kill the baby!! :( :( :(

[Cinss]

Flava, good job with the weightloss so far, love your ticker. xx

Hobber, fx for your sticky bean. xx

Hobber, I think you're fine...the baby is smaller than a grain of rice at 4 weeks, so it is hard to do damage. When I was preggo once a stool fell out from under me about 4 feet in the air and I fell flat on my bum and was SO worried, but everything was fine. FX for you :):bluecheer:

[Hobbermittens]

Thanks everyone. I miscounted yesterday, and I am actually on CD 10 today. I took a test, hoping for a Christmas BFP... but I got a BFN :( I guess it is still early... AF shouldn't be here for 2 more days. I am having symptoms, but I guess I could be imagining them. :(

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

[Cinss]

So last night was a disaster... Got my +opk on the 24th, waited until late 25th to DTD... We used a tiny bit of pre seed and it had a big effect on my DP, it must have enhansed the feeling for him because we were only about 1 min in and he said i'd better hurry up (to have my bigO), then 2 seconds later he said he is about to blow, i said no, he pulled out and was ejaculating on HIMSELF... i said PUT IT BACK IN, so he quickly did, but that was NOT the way it was supposed to go, i think we just did a pretty good girl attempt :(

Oh no!! You have been DTD every 2 days up until then, right? So there are swimmers in there waiting. Try again tomorrow morning--that's what I would do, unless you have already O'ed! Good luck!

Sorry for the BFN, but good luck on testing again, FX AF stays away for you and you get that BFP soon.

Yep thats right, every 2 days up until then, so hopefully there are enough little boys in there waiting, and yes i think your right, will go again tomorrow morning, temp should be rising soon.

[Yahmama]

FX you have a sticky blue bean! I'm just like you, Praying for a little brother! I think you have a good chance because you got a boy without swaying, Good luck.

Hoping you have a little brother too! When is your due date? I'm not sure if we're going to find out the gender or not, which should be around April I think. I would love it know if it's a boy, but I am afraid I would be disappointed if it were a girl because I really want my son to have a brother...plus it would be so much easier for room arrangements! My girls already share a room and there isn't room for another bed in there!

[3Pink1Blue]

Hobber - Not trying to scare you more but I did a similar thing and it ended up as my first m/c. The morning after I did it I started spotting and had spotting every day or so until 7 1/2 wks. It's highly possible it was a complete coincidence and it was already doomed, based on where I felt the pain my m/w thinks I had an etopic and if I did actually hurt something I did myself a favor. My BFF on the other hand lifted a laundry basket full of wet clothes had a pain, spotting, a few weeks bed rest and now has a 12 y/o son. Odds are if you are preg you are just fine.
10 days is still early, don't give up hope yet :)

Flava - Congrats on your 10lb!! Can't wait to start dropping some chub myself :)

Cinss - Oh that's a bummer of attempt but I'm sure you've got plenty in the crypts, don't worry hun :)

I hope everyone had a great Christmas!!

[Cinss]

According to FF, i did O-3 + O. and O+1and2.

My Ovulation Chart (http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/3061e7)

[Hobbermittens]

Well, BFN today too on 11DPO. I am thinking this must not be our month, but I am really surprised. I feel pregnant! I will test again tomorrow if my temp is still up. But I am pretty sure at this point we will be trying again next month.

I felt fine after a while, and didn't have any spotting... but I really don't think I am pg anyway. Weird, because I had so many symptoms! But today is 11DPO and BFN, so I think I'm out. :(

Anyway, next month I will try your method of hips raising, and I think I will try preseed instead of EW. If I have had 2 months of BFNs, I wonder if the EW has anything to do with it?

[Hobbermittens]

BFN today too at 12DPO. Temp is still high, but down a little, so probably AF is on the way. Oh well. Now I am just bummed that I ate all those cookies the other day. Hope it didn't screw anything up for next month!

[Hobbermittens]

WHere is everybody??

[3Pink1Blue]

Sorry for the bfn Hobber. A few cookies won't hurt, on to next month!

[Hobbermittens]

Sorry for the bfn Hobber. A few cookies won't hurt, on to next month!

Hope not! It was Christmas; I couldn't help it! I am being good now. :)

[skrimpy]

Hobber, so sorry for the BFN!

[Hobbermittens]

Thanks Skrimpy!

[Cinss]

WHere is everybody??

I'm still hanging around, everyone is probably doing family stuff, and there were a few ladies that got AF so probably just taking a break from here. Sorry about the BFN, i wouldn't count myself out until i was definatly out though, and you feel pregnant, thats weird because i do too and am only 4dpo LOL.

Hi ladies,

Sorry for lack of posting. I have been stalking but just not posting. Not sure how to write this but to cut it short it looks as though I may be infertile :(

I have Pelvic Congestion Syndrome. I had 2 x operations approx. 18 months ago to embolise and insert coils through the gonodal veins and ovarian veins. This cycle I have been in quite alot of pain (this syndrome causes chronic pain) and my periods seem to be getting heavier and heavier the last 6 months or so. I saw my dr today and she mentioned that I really need to consider a complete hysterectomy if I want the pain and physical discomfort to ease somewhat as the prior operations have not helped very much at all. I told her I really did not want to go that far just yet as we are trying for 1 more baby. This is when she delivered the news that I am probably now infertile anyway from the embolisation. I am yet to get in and see my vascular specialist to confirm this. They did ask me once before I was taken in to theatre the first time "Are you worried about your fertility?" I thought he ment, was I having troubles conceiving, so I told him "No, I already have 4 children"... How could I be so stupid?!! He obviously meant am I worried the op may affect my fertility.

I guess there is nothing I can do now but be greatful I already had children before this syndrome was picked up on (I have suffered it since the age of 12).

:(

TTC5, I am so sorry!! That is awful news! Do they know for certain that you can't have more children? I think if I were in your position, I would just keep trying to have another baby. Things may not be as bad as the doctor made it sound. :( I am so so sorry you were given that diagnosis, and I really hope it is WRONG! :hugs: We are all here for you. :hugs:

[TTC5]

I have to see my specialist and chat to him but the dr seemed very certain :(
I am going to ask about IVF perhaps that may work?

[Yahmama]

I am so sorry to hear this! :( you would think they would make you sign something before a procedure that affects your fettility to make sure you understand everything, IMO. Hoping IVFwould work for you...seems possible if the issue is the path for the egg to travel down the tubes...

[My Fabulous Children]

Hi ladies,

I had my first OB/GYN appointment. It was pretty boring lol...just paper work, lab work, I got weighed, got my blood pressure, etc. My next appointment is Jan 10th and they will do an u/s then. I can't wait.

Hobber~ So sorry for your BFN :( ((Hugs)).

[Cinss]

I have to see my specialist and chat to him but the dr seemed very certain :(

Oh no, so sorry this happened to you. If you were now infertile would you still have your periods? I hope you find out nothing is wrong.

[My Fabulous Children]

Hoping you have a little brother too! When is your due date? I'm not sure if we're going to find out the gender or not, which should be around April I think. I would love it know if it's a boy, but I am afraid I would be disappointed if it were a girl because I really want my son to have a brother...plus it would be so much easier for room arrangements! My girls already share a room and there isn't room for another bed in there!

Thanks. I think I'm due on August 1st based on my conception date. I would love to have a surprise, but I just can't stand not knowing. How can you wait, lol.

I want another boy , and related to your post about little brother, and MUCH MUCH easier for room arragments, plus I got all my son clothes save almost like new! I love the relationship between my girls and I want that for my ds too!

:( OH TTC5 I'm so sorry to read this news. I agree with hobber If I were you I would just keep trying to have another baby. Drop the timing and see at least just try. xxx

[TTC5]

Oh no, so sorry this happened to you. If you were now infertile would you still have your periods? I hope you find out nothing is wrong.

I do get periods but they are very heavy (due to this condition).

[TTC5]

It has really hit home now how unimportant gender is for us now :(

I am around CD9 and have just stopped my AF so think we will just go with the flow this cycle... pray for a miracle I guess.

Oh, I am so sorry to hear this :( I really hope that your specialist can give you hope for a different outcome. Yes, you are lucky to have four children but that doesn't make what you have been told any less devastating.

It sounds like you weren't properly explained the risks of the surgery?

Big (((hugs))). Thinking of you. xxx

Yay, boring is good! So glad it was boring ;)

[Plum3]

Hobber, sorry about the bfn's so far. Good luck for testing tomorrow!

[Plum3]

According to FF, i did O-3 + O. and O+1and2.

My Ovulation Chart (http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/3061e7)

And now the wait begins. Good luck!

[Plum3]

Hey ladies,

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!

I'm CD12 at the moment. Having my trigger shot on Friday at 1pm and then will O around Sunday 5am (New Years Day). Planning on DTD Friday and Saturday night.

[TTC5]

Bec - no it wasn't explained to me at all :(

[Plum3]

Bec - no it wasn't explained to me at all :(

That's negligence. Would you have had the surgery if you knew about all the risks?

[Hobbermittens]

That's negligence. Would you have had the surgery if you knew about all the risks?

TTC5, I have to agree with Bec. :( That is crap that you weren't told what the outcome would be! In America, people sue hospitals and Dr's for things like that.

[Hobbermittens]

Hi ladies, thanks for the condolences on the BFN. I didn't want to waste another test today, as my temp was down more, so I am just waiting for AF. The thing that is weird, though, is that I am 13DPO and my LP is usually only 11-12 days. ? Does that mean anything?

[Hobbermittens]

[2pinkNoblue]

Was going to but feel like I should lose weight now.. see prior post.

I am inthe same place TTC5--

After having a Dr tell me I am fat and I would ovulate just fine if I werent Fat...I am looking more at losing weight than getting Preg(thats why I have been absent) , my boy diet is shot this cycle...I may get it a half hearted attempt this cycle...Then start trying to Lose Weight I just feel...Bad....I know what your feeling {{HUGS}}

Wow....That must be very nice to know exactly when you are going to O...FX!:fx: I am gonna try to do Soy Isoflavones in place of clomid this cycle...240 mg cd 3-7 hopefully I will O, trying to sway with timing forme is impossible, so here's hoping pH is enough :nails:

[2pinkNoblue]

TTC5-- Oh Hon, I am so sorry to hear that...I agree w/ the other ladies, that seems like neglect to reach informed consent, but dont count yourself out I hear literally everyday about women who were told they couldn't get preg, then they do! ( I work at WIC as a Lactation Consultant so I am with preg women and newborns all day long) it happens alot, Docs dont knw everything! GL!

[2pinkNoblue]

FAB---YAY! first apt! cant wait to hear its a BOY!:babym:

[TTC5]

I would have tried for a baby right away if we were told the risks and put the surgeory off till after birth. I feel so so stupid I should have had the common sense to ask :(

[Cinss]

TTC5 i don't know anything about that condition, i had a quick look on google, but still don't really understand it, my gut feeling is if you have regular periods you are fertile. Good luck with your attempt this time around.

[skrimpy]

Oh TTC5 I'm so sorry to hear that news! I hope your specialist can give you some hope (((hugs)))

[skrimpy]

Bec, good luck with your attempt this weekend!

Sometimes supps can change your luteal phase, did you take anything new this cycle? Could you be seeing an implantation dip? I didn't get BFP's til over 14 DPO with two of my kiddos.

2pinkNoblue, I have been working on losing weight too before our attempt (hopefully in about a year for us though). I have lost around 30lbs so far and feel great, so IMO it is worth it! I hope your doc was nicer about suggesting loading weight though!!

[Plum3]

Bec, good luck with your attempt this weekend!

Thanks Skrimpy :)

If I could have got my hands on some Soy isoflavones I would have tried that too. I can't find it anywhere though. Good luck, hope it does the trick for you!

[Plum3]

Good luck Bec! FX for you. Let's start the new year off right with some BFPs!

Thanks Hobber!!

[Plum3]

5, I have been doing some googling too and I can't find any info that says that embolisation and coiling can cause infertility. Maybe the doctor was referring to the PCS itself causing infertility?

[Tink18]

Hi Girls just popping in to see how everyone is doing. TTC i am sorry hear that news. Hopefully you can sort it out! I agree if your having regular periods..stuff should be working? right?

Hoping everyone is having lots of sex on the right days in order to get that BFP!!! Sending lots of baby dust and love and support!! XOXO

[2pinkNoblue]

I would have tried for a baby right away if we were told the risks and put the surgeory off till after birth. I feel so so stupid I should have had the common sense to ask :(

The burden is on the Dr to make sure you understand, not the other way around does some one smell a Lawsuit..?

[2pinkNoblue]

If I could have got my hands on some Soy isoflavones I would have tried that too. I can't find it anywhere though. Good luck, hope it does the trick for you!

really, you can buy them everywhere in the States...I could send ya some!

GL with your attempt!

[Hobbermittens]

So that means AF would be due today right? Fingers crossed!!

Thanks Bec... but AF showed up. Started spotting last night, and she is here full force today! The thing that is so weird to me is, the only time I get spotting before AF are the months that I have TTC. It was like that years ago when I was trying for my first DS. Wonder what that means?

[3Pink1Blue]

5 - man darlin' big hug and fx.

Hobber- boo for AF, I hate that bitch lol

Here's me today, 34weeks but measuring full term :suprise:

Hey strangers, I know it's been too long but being on this forum has made it really hard to get the bfn's for 8 months. Finally this morning we got our first bfp! Congrats, Tink, I am so excited for you!

[Cinss]

Hey Hobber, that is strange, i wonder if a bean can get rejected by your body after implantation? I guess that is technically a MC?

Hope.ful Congrats on the BFP!!!

Yeah, I wonder that too? I really felt pregnant... but never got a BFP. I tested 3 times! Anyway, on to next cycle!
