Sorry about the GD Kris. Hopefully everything is ok with bub and the fluid.

We DTD last night, exactly 12 hours before the stabbing pain, so I have my FX extra tight for a BFP this month and that it would be sticky and a boy! So, DH ended up with about a 60 hr. abstain since he released Tues morning. Now for that LONG 2WW!!!!

Yay for O'ing. Welcome to the 2ww :)

Yep, still have another week to go now :(

Well apparently it works 98% of the time. I have had it once before, years ago and it didn't work either. Sometimes a follicle can be mistaken for a cyst so maybe I had a cyst and not a follicle?

3p, thanks for the luck.

So, Charlie has turned now??

How many months have you been ttc now? Did it take you this long with your girls? (Sorry for the 20 Q's, LOL). I hope you land preggers soon, my friend.

---

I know! It's so darn frustrating. I think maybe I had a cyst and not a mature follicle. But who knows? My doctor did the ultrasound this time instead of the nurse and he is quiet fast and doesn't really take his time measuring the actual follicle sizes and lining. He just told me I had one medium sized follicle and that was it. I'm 7dpo now if I go by FF and my own thoughts. We've been trying 3 months now, so not that long really. First time I O'd with both my girls I fell pregnant. It took a few months on meds to actually O though. I think my doc might get me to move onto FSH injections soon as that's what he did last time.

Good luck this month to you as well hun!

5, I hope the fleet worked. Awful things aren't they?

Had a second lot and it finally worked yayy!!!
So off to my dr Tuesday for thyroid tests and diabetes (and a BT for pregnany) and he also said we can have a good chat about "getting us pregnant" :) That is if I am not utd now which I doubt I am!!

Great news TTC5 :)

---

We do this too ;)

Welcome to all the newbies!!

AFM... tested today at apparently 12dpo- BFN. I don't actually think I O'd after the trigger injection. My temps are always a reliable indicator for when O has occurred and according to FF I only O'd 6 days ago, which I think is correct because I had SHOW and EWCM. Guess I will just have to wait it out. *sigh*

---

Does that mean the trigger did not work?

lola - I love that site, good ideas without being super graphic and having to look at creepy looking people lol

cinss - yep they go on and on lol

Bec - yep he's turned but I'll be having weekly quickie u/s to make sure the little goober stays that way :bigsmile:

5 - so glad things are moving again and yay for the "getting us pregnant" chat!

That's what I'm thinking. It only works if you have a mature follicle/s. Pretty much guaranteed to work if that's the case. My doc said I had a medium follicle but maybe it was a cyst or the follicle wasn't big enough yet.

Good news on the fleet working! Hope the doctor's appointment goes well too.

3, oh yay, good news on turning little Charlie. You'll get to see him every week now, which is nice!

---

Lola the Bar Method was developed by a dancer, and it does use a bar for support, but it's not actually ballet. It's strength training and toning. I use the dip bars on DH's pull-up unit for my ballet bar lol! I really enjoy it. The kids like trying to do it right along with me, hah!

My cycles with the first three started while they were nursing and got normal right away. With #4, they started back around this age, but took like 6 months to get normal. I've nursed all of them til past a year, two until two, and one (#3) until 32 months... but my periods came back long before they weaned. I am kind of hoping if they come back soon with Honor they will hurry themselves up and be like clockwork. I don't like the wondering and wonkiness! She is enthusiastic about solids, so I am expecting it to come back anytime.

3P1B - OMG...how do they physically do some of those positions? I looked at that site for an hour!! LOL

If he did mistake it for a cyst, is there a chance you have still caught the egg if it released a bit later? xx

No not an enema, Dr said that would not have worked anyway as my bowel/rectum was empty hence why I had to urge to go, everything was stuck in the intestine bits x

---

Yes, there is a chance. We probably got in two attempts that might be ok... O-4 and O-2. I'm doubtful about the O-4 but there's still hope.

I know my 3rd was conceived around 5 days before O so you never know!!

---

I'm sure you have a very good chance since sperm live up to 5 days!

Bec - I don't so much get to see him as get to see where his noggin is.

POP - yeah some of those positions are brutal, like need a safety net and helmet lol

So my neighbour asked me if I am pregnant.. she has no idea we wre TTC.. she said she has a funny feeling I am... offered me one of her HPT.... not sure if I should or not. Too scared of a BFN... or just wait two days till I see the dr...

AF is due Tuesday-Friday and I am around 10dpo I think, let me check.. WDYGT.. should I grab that test and test today??

Free HPT, I'd GO for it!!!

Yes don't really have anything to lose hey..

Do it!!! We expect an update first thing in the morning.

Think I might, may as well hey..

So another thing just brushed my teeth and my gums bled.. they NEVER bleed.

5 - not to be a bummer but I'd wait another day or so, you know decrease your odds of a bfn.
Bloody gums, I only get that during pregnancy too!!!!

Do you really Jen? Do you think you had it in the TWW or close to AF being due?

Either way I am getting tested at the dr on Tuesday x

Or could the bleeding gums come the medicine stuff the Dr gave you to clean you out? That's one thing you've done different the past few days?? Good luck with the test though, hope it's a BFP!

Oh no I wasn't meaning it wasn't pregnancy related cos it is, just thought I'd mention it in case it was a side effect.
Bugger about the neighbour not coming home tonight, might have to catch her tomorrow :)

5, how many DPO are you now?

LBAM, sorry about the BFN. How many DPO are you?
