Mellifluous May (3)

Sky: [emoji23] jumped dh love it! You so thoughtful Thanks for asking I feel like absolute rubbish but that's what we all want right? Daily reassurance everything's doing its thing. I've never been this sick before with any of my boys that I can remember. And I'd love to just skip to my appointment! I'm most nervous to know weather or not I'll get the nipt. My neighbor just announced her 3rd pregnancy and she's 33 and goes to a closer dr. And they do it so I don't see why mine can't if I ask. Btw she's having her 3rd boy! I'd be a bit jelly if it were a girl.

LMSM I agree! Frer [emoji322]
Lola I'm super excited for test time you gotta test early with all those awesome tests you have on your hands
Max I seen your thread dh questions were really good and I'm sure he'll feel much better hearing answers from ob vs google

Ash - Just ask for the test!! I've had some friends DRs say yes and others had to pay for it, but it doesn't hurt to ask!!

That's so exciting!!

Oh I plan to ask and I think dh is on board for me begging for it [emoji23][emoji23] if I can get it I'm going to get one of those solid gold balloons off etsy pick up my results in an envelope and video is popping it! Then if we do it alone and it's a boy not everyone will have to see me a bit disappointed and I won't have to show the video if I don't want to

Morning morning!

Oh Maxim, so exciting for you to be at this stage! Which days are you going to be taking Clomid on? I think I did CD3-5 and O’d both times on CD12 – they usually say on average 7-8 days post last pill, which was true for me.
Husbands, lawyers or not (I’m the laywer in our couple here lol), tend to be protective of their wives and what they ingest/go through so I assume he wants to know this is the best avenue for you and your health etc .. I know my husband wanted to know all the side effects for me, what it could do to bubs etc… I see it as a gesture of love ;)

Shinay – how are you??

Sky – woohoo for crazy EWCM and attempt – per-fect!!!! :D gotta love it, “jumping” a sleeping DH – haven’t we all done that? ^^
I’d agree with PBN, FF is wrong especially since your temps on CD17-19 were accurate and the ones prior may not have been just as much – you are 1dpo and doing stellar, look at that jump in temp, double woohoo!!! Welcome to the TWW, bring on that BFP!

Ash – how is da bump? Please don’t forget to drop by and tell us how all is going for you, we love to hear about how your pregnancies are progressing ^^

Dreaming – still on that post scan high? Hope all is well, and like Ash, please drop by and tell us more!

Mummy2boys – how is hubby, recovering well? And like PBN aid, when do start poas? ;)

Iwant 4 – how are you? Did AF show up (sorry if I missed that or you already told me, I have a bit of a major mummy brain syndrome :P) ?

Kat – woohoooooooo, looking forward to today (well tomorrow for you)’s temp – having temps really helps pin point things so much better – have you gotten the hang of the whole vag temping now? :D did you get that BD in last night?

Lola – from your chart I’d say you O’d CD15 but will confirm once I see next temp - you do have a dip (but not huge hence my reservation until next temp ^^) then a decent rise the next day so that is def a contender!

PBN – less than a week before your u/s – so exciiiting! What gestation will you be - around 7 weeks ish? Still up at silly o’clock or did you sleep a bit longer this morning?
Haha you are a sweetie, and do have a cute face and chocolate bribes - but am quite sure they are white as white can be IRL unfortunately! I think the 1st one *may* have an indent, but no color… soooo I have plenty of FRERs at home (like a full box of 7 + a couple extras) just not wanting to waste them – I will do another IC in the am and if there is anything to be seen (11dpo tomorrow, there really should be something there by then even if very faint), then will get the FRER out, I PRO-MISE ;)
If it wasn’t for these temps I would be sure I am not pregnant – but the temps remain over 37, which is highly unusual for me – as I said, I may just have appropriate levels of progesterone for once, keeping the temp high… oh the suspense is just unbearable even if in my heart, and as much as I would love to be as positive as you guys, I just know this is not our month… (and I love all the positive energy you all get floating around, supportive and excited for each other, just love it!).

Sigh - I was just chatting to the big boss about my upcoming business trip (he just came back from Syd himself) telling him I wasn’t looking forward to my 6am flight, and having to book a cab at 4.45 (hence up even earlier) – my direct manager “made” me book a flight on the day of the conference rather than arrive the night before (budget blablabla) but he said “why the hell would you book that, you should have gone the night before, doesn’t make any sense when you have an early start” -  am fuming now but probs a bit late to make changes, I mean the big boss is the CFO so he is the one that has to be the tightest budget wise in the whole business and yet he supports a bit of extra spend in these circumstances – plain annoying, I could have had a proper night sleep without rushing – I guess the bright side is I will get to put my darlings to bed the night before as then won’t see them for 24+ hours (never have been away from my youngest)..anyhoo, morning vent lol!

Ok, back to work – no motivation this morning – too tired lol

Oh Ash you posted as I was typing – do the test, totally do it, it will be giving you certainty and that will put your mind at ease, whatever the result, you won’t be questioning what you saw or not during the u/s!!
I hope you feel better soon – those early days can be soooooo difficult

Oh Ash - that sounds so fun!!

LMSM - I hope you see those lines tomorrow!! I got negative on a Frer last time at 10 dpo and positive the next day!!


https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/41ecd9

Sky - you ok? Enjoying being done?!


https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/41ecd9

Kat-that gives me hope for pink!! I have to say, that has often been my "go-to" lunch at work, but w/my boys I would snack often & always eat breakfast...so I've changed those!
Sky-love that you "jumped" at the chance to get that 3rd BD in lol! Good work! [emoji106]
Pbn-love it when you weigh in! I'm excited to hear that you believe that I O'd this AM b/c you always know what's up!! I'm ready to be in the 2WW!! I was wondering what you'd think about sky's chart! I was thinking the crosshairs may be a little off...
Max-can't wait to hear bw results & keep us posted on your U/S for sure....and THE call haha. I hope that the call answers all of DH's questions so that you can be on track to take your Clomid!!
Ash-love that gender reveal for just you & DH to see. FX you'll be able to get the nipt test!!!!
LMSM-I see what pbn is pointing out on your tests! 11dpo is sometimes the magic number Fx!!! Sorry for the work traveling stress! Sounds like a whirlwind business trip!! When do you leave-are you bringing your hpts??? haha ...And thanks for chiming in, I feel CD 15 may be the start of O & maybe my temp was on it's way up early this AM. We'll see tomorrow...
-Some of my bw results are in & TSH & AMH are both in a standard range, so that's good to hear. Going in for my CD21 test on Tues! Don't think any of you will have to twist my arm to test early this time haha. I'm stocked up & ready!!! [emoji12]


My Ovulation Chart

Lola - I've always eaten breakfast and snacked throughout the day too, but I'm hoping the switching to more protein and less carby/low cal foods with be enough to get me [emoji170]


https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/41ecd9

Kat-you've made some great changes & with your attempts, sounding very boy-friendly. Sending you my boy dust!!! [emoji170][emoji170]
I meant to post my OPKs. Now that they have dried...I can definitely see the surge!!

lol ladies. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]🤣🤣🤣It was funny. He woke up and asked were we supposed to do today and I said ofcourse. Poor guy. He then asked what were u thinking for the past two hours then. I said I was planning the attack in my head. [emoji12][emoji12][emoji12][emoji12]
I wish our dhs could be good at this just like they are with their work.
Ash - See when u come, u always increase the excitement around here. Yay for the plan and I m all in for begging. Start working on that look already. Ms is good but I hope u get some break too. You know I had no
Ms with dd. And my sisters would start throwing up as soon as they got two lines and they both have 2 daughters each. They lost so much weight during their pregnancies and I was looking forward to lose weight and meet my skinny self but lo and behold, no ms. My sisters were so
Jealous that they wanted to strangle me. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
I ate like a champ for all 9 months and was my fittest. Everyone tells me that it won't be the same this time. 🤞🤞🤞
LMSM - You are the sweetest. Thankyou for the encouraging words. 🤞🤞 for your test tomorrow. It's early but we love Looking at tests. I too see something there.
Kat - I m good,Thankyou for asking. So happy to b done. Go for that attempt tonight. Plssss.
Lolla - Waiting to see your next temp. 🤞🤞

Oh sky I don't want to be a Debby downer buuuuttttt.... they could be right! I gained 15lbs with my first and 20lbs with my second and the last two pregnancies were uhhh like 60lbs and 30lbs [emoji85] now that I've lost it all I'm going to do it all again [emoji322] [emoji322]! I told myself I'd stay healthy this time [emoji23][emoji23]

Lola – woohoo for great results! Means your thyroid is good and your ovarian reserve too, and that is great!! Won’t be long before you start poas too – so many of you will start around the same time, excitiiing!:D
Re O time, since we only temp once a day, it’s harder to pin point exactly (dip and rise could not be exactly aligned with actual surge and O but should be within a pretty tight window) given your surge was on Cd14, you can be pretty sure O is on Cd15 or 16 anyways – so FX now!
Am not leaving until Wednesday next week (31/05) so will either clearly have AF or a BFP by then ;) I just hope if it is the former that it arrives over the WE and not later otherwise I will be in a world of pain when travelling.. oh well, no need hypothesising at this stage, will just adapt to what comes ^^

Ash – I told myself I would be healthy with DD2, somehow the urges for junk got the better of me haha
At the end of it. I think do whatever it takes for you to enjoy your pregnancy – the weight is only that, and will come off eventually – the main thing is happy mummy and baby ;)

I like that mind set LMSM

Hi Ladies

Sky no attempt, as DH is still on the fence. But we did have a bd session though so I hope swimmers escaped 😂

Glad you get results back tmro Max. DH is thorough huh 🤣

GL Lola 😁 nice opks. Mine was a super short surge this time.

Hi to everyone else 🙋🙋🙋

Im going to be talking with DH this afternoon and move forward whichever way that is.

My pain and overall symptoms with pelvic congestion syndrome is becoming worse by the day, i think i may be getting renal colic from the swollen ovarian veins. I feel like im in the 3rd trimester the pressure is wayyyy toooo much. I want to see what my options are but I feel a hysterectomy would be the best solution seeing as my previous treatments have not lasted and had risks.

My heart breaks even thinking of that but I gotta do what i gotta do.

My opk is way lighter this morning so it was definitely the peak last night. Cramping from both sides too 😁

Has anyone had experience with the dipstick frer's. It keeps giving me evap lines though to me, most look faint that come up in the timeframe. I wonder if its picking up LH but only lightly.


Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Netti are you talking about frer hpt dip tests?? Because hpts wont pick up lh. They only pick up hcg but opks can pick up both.

Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

Yep they are the ones. It must be evap lines then, they are bad for it. It literally sent me crazy 😫


Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Have you got any pics?

Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

I got rid of all my others. This is the one from this morning, small hold whilst i used the opk. The line can be seen at arms length its just hard to capture. Thats why im thinking an evap as it doesn't seem to have colour or much of in the line itself but its definitely there. I have pregnosis left only.

I have no update. Just want to drop by to say hi. I am so excited for you ladies with pos opk. You guys have had great plans. Fx for all bfp soon! I will be stalking charts and pics

Sent from my SM-G920I using Tapatalk

Netti I feel I see something in the first pic? But your blood test for hcg was negative. Have you done any research into the pregnosis dip tests for showing evaps or if there is any hormone related thing that can cause a faint line on hpt?

Hi Shinay!! Good to hear from you! Sorry did you answer my question about whether you're still doing 1pm opks? I don't recall seeing it so apologies if you have as I'm asking again lol :) I'm really hoping af shows up super soon for you!

Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

Hi pbn. The pages have moved so fast it is easy to miss haha. This is what i wrote before

Pbn: My normal cycles are not too bad. Just too many things happened this month (started with unexpected dtd few days before my usual O day). Hopefully next one will go back to my usual cycle. We will most likely not have unprotected sex this cycle anymore. I will wait till af arrive so we can start fresh again. I am still checking just to make sure i am not O now or soon since our last bd was 4 days ago. Once i am clear, i won't check anymore. the line is much lighter now. Cervix is medium and firm, so i think i am safe.

As for bd plan, we actually never planned for eod. I wanted to dtd every few days and 3 attempts at pos opk but since O didn't come, our plan was switched to eod to catch that late O. For next month, we will go back to 3 attempts plan. In the meantime, i might add in weight training to help my sway.

My 1pm test today was pretty faint so i dont think i will O anytime soon. The weird part is that my cervix is high but firm....it really is weird. Once i thought i know my body enough, it went bizarre. Is there anything i can do to make af come early? Lol

https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6a8e52

Sent from my SM-G920I using Tapatalk

Thanks Shinay and I do remember reading that now! Is a high firm cervix your norm prior to af? As for bringing on af naturally you could try ginger or parsley tea morning and night until af arrives? Don't know if it works or not though and you may be drinking something that sounds (and I bet tastes) awful for nothing 😂

Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

Just an update – just had some light pink spotting – so with the AF pain I got last night, am pretty sure I am out – I had the same last month and it took another 2 days before AF rocked up – so hope the next ones up for POAS are luckier! ;)
Shinay – thinking of you ;)

Pbn: it normally goes down lower over the days. Hahaha I will try to find some parsley or ginger tea. Hope it will help.

LMSM: aww that is very sweet of you. It has been a bit hard that i didnt even get to try and be excited in 2ww. I have seen many babies around lately so that definitely doesnt help with my baby fever hahaha. But things happen for a reason. I will get bfp next month. Maybe the egg is better next month :D

Sent from my SM-G920I using Tapatalk

Ahh that sucks LMSM. Fx for next cycle xx.

Pbn i had my blood test last Thursday. Ive read reviews on the first response dip tests and they've been quite a few false positive stories and some that did turn into BFPs. Pregnosis wasn't showing anything when i tested the other day.

Not much indication of why false positives happen i didn't fit the criteria of why they would be showing up. I might just stay clear of them from now on.

Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

LMSM hope you're wrong about af coming. I'm still excited to see your test come morning!!!

@Lolabelle I definately think you oed prior to temping on cd16 and caught temp on its way up. If you look at last cycle your temp jumped by .5 degree, you seem to have a very clear shift and if you combine cd16 and cd17 spike this cycle it is also .5 degree, so it makes sense that you likely caught it the temp rise in the middle of rising if that makes sense?? Not at all saying you'd have the same degree rise every cycle lol, just in a general sense. Pretty sure ff will allocate crosshairs tomorrow to cd15 :) can't wait to see!!! And by then you'll already be 3dpo 😮😁 and only 5 days from testing eeeeekkk!!!!!

Kat woohoo for temp spike and welcome to 1dpo 😀🎉🎉🎉 so what dpo can we pressure you into testing 😂😂 pretty sure you said you're abit of a poas addict so how does 8dpo sound to you? Good? yes? ok its sorted then, 8dpo it is 😂😂😂

Maxim can't wait to hear of your results and how the dreaded phone call goes!! You're taking clomid days 5-9 right?

Sky I cannot wait to watch your temps over the next week or so 😀 gives me butterflies in my tummy thinking about it I'm so excited!!!!


Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

Oh I'm sorry LMSM! That really stinks :( You never know, could just be random spotting!
Shinay-I totally know what you mean! I notice babies & pregnant ladies everywhere!!!
Fx that next cycle will be the one for you Shinay & LMSM!!
Max-keep us posted on your bw! Fx you get some answers!
Sky-looking good with all of those attempts!! FX!!
Kat-yay for a temp spike! We are SO close together!
Pbn-that makes perfect sense! Thanks! [emoji173]I did a little sample temp for Thurs & you're right, it'll give me crosshairs eeek! So I think I ended up with an O-1 attempt! I'm praying with all my might that it worked this cycle [emoji1374]Something's got to give!! I'm not going to get too excited...will just see how it all plays out. My O pains are completely gone. For me, my worst O pains seem to be on O day & linger a day after!


My Ovulation Chart

Shinay - I'm sorry your cycle ended up so wonky! Hopefully AF will come soon and you can start fresh!!

Pbn - I hoped you looked at my chart during your lunch break if you got one to see I got another BD in [emoji1323][emoji1323][emoji1323] It was way easier than I expected [emoji23] And yes, I was excited for temp rise.

Of COURSE on my most critical temping day my youngest woke me up at 4 crying. I usually temp around 4:30/5 and go back to sleep off and on until time to get up. So, I had to let her cry until I could get my temp taken [emoji51] I honestly don't even know if it beeped/was done when I took it out, but it was high enough so I just went with it.

Lola/Sky - I'm a day behind y'all! Yay!

Lola - I love your O-1 attempt that's how I got preggo with my 2nd. I read (not sure how true) that O-2 and O-1 are usually the best attempts so sperm will be waiting on egg.

So all I have test wise is the dip tests that came with Wondfos. Any have an idea how sensitive?? I think that's what you used Ash. I'm fine testing early, but I've never got a BFP before 11 DPO.

LSMS - I hope you are out!! Keep us posted.

Max - I'm really excited about your clomid cycle. I just hope you don't have bad side effects. Keep us posted!


https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/41ecd9

Can I just say how happy I am I don't have to hold my pee today to test opks [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]


https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/41ecd9

Love it Kat, enjoy it b/c you'll be holding that pee again before too long for your hpts! Fx for a BFP!! I'd say the Wondfo's are more sensitive than I originally thought! I've never had a BFP before 11dpo either! Last cycle, I got a faint line at 10dpo on the wondfo, but of course...didn't pan out. I'm ready this time with old style straight frer's, a few ICs, left over cb digs with weeks estimator & a box of OSOM...just b/c I wanted to try it haha. I'd say I'm stocked up. So ready to have an unmistakable line!!!!
Can't wait for all of us to POAS!!!!


My Ovulation Chart

YAY lola & kat - temps looking great! FX crossed!!!

DH is set to talk with OB later this afternoon, will update when they connect. Busy day at work, will check back in later...

Lola, kat, sky I'm so excited for the upcoming testing!
Kat yes at 9dpo I used wondfo and frer and the line was much more noticeable on the wondfo than the frer and it doesn't seem to me that wondfo give as bad evap lines as frer. BUT I started poa opk at 5dpo and it started darkening at 8dpo and was very obviously darker at 9dpo much more clear to see that opk had a darker line than it was to see a line on hpt and since your opk are super light lines like mine are maybe that'll work for you also

Kat and I used fmu so you won't have to poas at work lol just save them and keep them all lines up together so you can see the fade

Hi guys! Sorry I've been MIA. I just had the worst sicky day ever yesterday and I'm afraid today is going to be no different. The nausea is getting bad.

I'm poking in to check on you guys all the time and am wishing and hoping and praying with all my fingers and toes crossed that this cycle works out for each of you.
For those already counting it out, LMSM, Shinay, you guys stay strong and try not to let it get you down. You WILL get there.

Hugs everyone!


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sounds like a plan Ash!! I saved your progression picture with the opks. Glad you used fmu [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]


https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/41ecd9

Dreaming, sorry you aren't feeling well! Hope the nausea gets better!!

Okay well, DH just spoke with my OB and I have goods news and bad news. Bad news first, he doesn't want me to start the clomid tomorrow. He feels that we haven't been trying long enough to start medications. He's also hyper concerned about twins. So he wants to just keep trying this month as usual. Have to say I'm bummed, but the fact that he's willing to keep trying is more than I thought he would give me a few months ago... The good news is that he's not completely shutting the door on it, said that we will sit down tonight to talk about how many months we are going to keep trying and possibly try it on our last cycle. I guess I actually have to take his point of view into consideration (boooo lol), but I'm not going to lie that I'm super disappointed.

Max - Ash made such a good point to me when I thought I was out this cycle. She reminded me that if it's taking a longer time to conceive that means my girl sway is really good. So I want to pass that on to you. Even without the Clomid, you're doing everything so well. Maybe this is what you need, for you hubby to be on point more than ever so you can relax into the process. I swear this last cycle I was my most relaxed and boom. You've got this!
