TTC Girl - February 2012

[KraizyDaizy]

Hi ladies! I was hoping someone else might have experience with this... I am 8DPO today. This morning, my temp dipped a bit (still above coverline, but barely), and this afternoon I've had lots of AF-type cramping, and some pink/red spotting. Last cycle was my first cycle after weaning the baby, and also my first cycle post partum, and my LP was only 10 days. So, now I'm worried that this is AF starting again, and that my body doesn't even have a long enough LP right now to support a pregnancy Anyone else had this?? Any suggestions?? I'm so bummed

Jazzers, it sounds to me like you might be having an implantation dip if your temp went down. Is the spotting red or brown?

I know I will be the exact same way during my 2ww. I was laughing with my girlfriend last night because I feel like once I POAS and get a bfp I will jump up and down "hurray I can eat again I am going out to dinner tonight to celebrate...and oh ya, wahoo for being pregnant too!" I think I will first test 11dpo. When are you testing?

this is my thought exactly too, i soooooooooooo cant wait to eat meat and fries and more meat and chocolate bars and big fat cakes ohhhhhhhhhh im soooooooooooooooo hungry, im on CD 8 now nothing going on much no symptoms of clomid working i hope it does, although my cervix did feel soft today, when should i start testing opks ?

prayforpriness, and LMN7,

I would say once you get the BFP hurry and gorge out all you can while you can. Once I hit 6 weeks, my appetite died and the nausea set in pretty bad that all I can handle is pretty plain or healthy foods, esp. crave fresh fruit. So if you want that steak, I'd hit it up right after the BFP to celebrate

Last night we were all still so sick that DH ran out to grab us take out from a BBQ place that's really good. My appeite is still crap from nausea + sinus infection so I just had some of their scalloped poatotes but they were so buttery and yummy it did fill me up and didn't make me sick after either, so that was nice. Hubby also drove to an area he hates (really traffic-icky) to get us gourmet cupcakes at this cupcake place. The store competed in the Food Network show "Cupcake Wars" if anyone has ever seen it. I love the show and I was floored when I saw someone from Richmond VA on it, and then when we found out the shop was 15 mins away, well now we go a little too often really moist delicous cupcakes that are NOT too sweet. They are so divine!

So DH was behaving yesterday!

KD, I'm so excited that you got a lot of attempts in! I just feel this is your BFP cycle! I got my BFP at 9? or maybe it was 10 dpo? So that this is your month!

I know there are quite a few of ya'll who are O'ing around the 20th, how are the sway plans going?

Wouldn't you know it, I used my last internet HPT stick this am, which of course was a BFN, so I have to decide whether to buy some FRER or wait it out. More than likely the in me will be running to the store tonight LOL!!! Thanks for the vibes Auroura, how many attempts did you do? remind me of your sway?

[auroara78]

We did o-3 & O day. We did have sex unprotected on o-7 but don't think anything would have come of that. I couldn't get my husband to have any more sex. He couldn't get the motor running. He was worn out by a o-3 & O day attempts.
So I guess only 2 tries in my fertile window, I'm sure the o day attempt is the one that got me pg.

I got an ultra faint (seemed almost like an evap) on a Clear Blue Easy Early test at 9 dpo? and a much stronger second line on a FRER at 10 dpo. I think FRER are the way to go. They are expensive, but they are very precise and do have nice lines early, unlike other tests that really don't go dark or even show a second line until after AF is due.

Lemon: If you know you have already ovulated I would not keep dtd. Are you temping? If you've already gotten your temp spike then no need to dtd anymore. If not, then I would say ya, it can't hurt to dtd again.

Jazzer's: Is it red or pink/brown blood? We can all speculate but if you are pg you will know for sure in 5-7 days. Unfortunately its one of those things you'll have to wait out -- waiting is so hard tho.

Littlemiss: When do you expect to ovulate? I am starting opk's tomorrow/6 days before I expect to o. I will test 2xday for the 1st 3 days and then 3xday til I get my +opk. Morning, afternoon and before bed.

Auroara: I hear you about the food. Did not even think of it. I start feeling the nausea around 6 weeks so I'll have a good 2 weeks worth of eating before my food desires begin to change.

O'ing in 6-7 days, can't wait to be in my 2ww. I will still only eat 2x day to keep glucose low but will loosen up on the food a bit. Still no meat and I will only eat the "right" foods, but I will be a little less careful about amounts. If I hit 50 grams protein, or go a little over on the sodium for example I won't freak.

[littlemissnaughty7]

hey auroara thats exactly what i plan to do just eat eat and eat untill the nausea hits me, god i hope its this month, i doubt it as were only doing 1 attempt,

the last 3 times i took clomid ages ago i ovulated cd 16, cd 17, and cd 19 so to be honest i have no idea when to expect it lol, ive started to poas today and il do that 2x a day for a few days then maybe 3 or 4 times a day as i need to make sure i catch the very begining of my surge to decipher the 0+12 attempt,

Hello,

Kd.....you are an POWs addict...hope it is bfp!
You had a great attempt!

P4p..thanks for the advice....

Little miss....how will you know you are o plus? Will you abstain or fr? GL

Hi amari

Pinkin....how are you?

So, here is my horrible attempt.....just when we started..literally started....our 5 year old started to be sick and then again every 2 hours!
All night long. I stayed home from work today.
So, now bc we stopped on sun....min we were soooo tired and bd'ed out...and then last night we missed it bc of a sick child....we will try again tonight. The thing is, I think I am oing today instead of yesterday...so it is possible.
However, the sway is gone....I ate food..lol, stopped fr, and no extra stuff.
I am so sad we were worn out mon...and not able to last night.
Seriously, fate is playing tricks.
I do still have Ewcm....can't use met temp although it was up a bit....but I did not sleep, I still have major I pains and achy etc.......more advice!

Thanks and GL everyone!

Ps aurora....how long after your opk did you dtd?
I hate ms!

[auroara78]

actually I only took one opk that cycle and it was barely a negative, but BD anyway at 5 am on Christmas Day and that was the day I concieved. Previous cycles I got a + OPK one day before I ovulated, if that helps any.
