TTC Girl - March 2012

[suregena]

hi suregena hun how are u ?

I'm good! Trying to reorganise myself... working towards getting back on the diet (oh my god, I have gained all the weight back in a few weeks!!! Gah!) and taking vitex in pill form this time and frolic acid. Started a little late as my AF ended days ago but I took my first bbt temp this morning and plugged it into fertility friend. Fingers crossed May or June are my months! Congrats again lady!!!

[suregena]

Hahah! Frolic acid. I mean folic. Comedy iPhone.

Good luck for getting back on the swaying wagon Surgena, I bet it was nice to indulge in normal foods for a while! I'm so jealous!
Well I got a smiley face on my CB opk about an hour ago (6.30pm) so now I need to make a decision as to when to dtd. I used Rephresh this morning so that will still be in my system and I don't think I would need to do a top up as I don't want to kill all the sperm. In my head for some reason I think it would be better to dtd in the morning as blood sugar will be low for both of us, not stressful n we will be warm, although I still may make DP have a hot shower. However, if we dtd in the morning (approx 12hrs away) is that too big a cut off if we are only dtd once, or should I wait to dtd tomorrow night, approx 28hrs after pos opk? I REALLY want to get pg this cycle!!
Also, PFP has atomic given you any advice on your plan to dtd 2 times immediately after each other (if DP can do it)? I want to know if this is a good idea or will put me in boy territory with too much sperm. Please let me know your opinions girls, I need all the advice I can get! im getting excited that it's all happening soon! Eek
Love to you all, x

Hi Suregena -- good to see you again. I am sure once you get back on the diet the pounds will just fall off.

Amari -- I would NOT exercise. Especailly speratically. It will raise your metabolism and make you more hungry and more toned -- both not good. Be a couch potato!!

Lala - do not wait 28 hours after +opk. Most women will ovulate in 24 hours. You want the sperm there waiting for the egg -- that is your best chance at getting pregnant. It is in your best intrest to make multiple attempts. As you said, this diet sucks and we wanna get bfp's as soon as possible while still swaying pink.
Dtd multiple times will not put in in boy zone -- that is not what is doing the sway, maternal condition is and if you are strong on your diet then you have nothing to worry about. For women who are not on the diet, then yes fewer sperm may sway in their favor, but that is not what is swaying for us. Plus, you dtd multiple times is not adding that much more sperm b/c the count is still so low. Especially because you used rephresh before your attempt, you really should do multiple to give yourself a chance. If you dtd 1-2 hours after you just dtd then the sperm count is so low you have nothing to worry about. Dtd, wait 1-2 hours then dtd again, wait 1-2 hours and dtd a 3rd time. That will give you a better chance. Plus, you don't know if abstaining really made his sperm count junk so this way in case it has, you still have a shot at getting pg. Dtd now, as quickly after getting a +opk as possible...do not wait.

So, we made 2 attempts last night.
Dtd waited 90 minutes and then dtd again. No touch up rephresh and no jump and dump. Used tiny tiny bit of sylk with 2nd attempt.
I used 1/2 application of rephresh this morning. And now we will dtd again tonight using dh 2nd batch. He will come home and release and then we will dtd 1-2 hours later.
If my opk's are not 100% positive today then we will dtd again tomorrow night using his 2nd batch.
I will most likely o on Friday. I have a good feeling about this cycle.

hi all well not sure whats going on but my test this morning was not very dark at all.... im hoping bub is ok not sure what to think, how many days after implantation does the test turn positive ?

[mydream]

congrats littlemiss!!! I am not sure about the answer to your ? but I am praying all is fine!! try not to worry!

[auroara78]

Not sure Little miss, I hope everything is OK.

I have a good feeling about your cycle resulting in a BFP, PFP.... crossed!

LMN7 I am praying for you. Your bean will be fine, it's just early.

Finally got my progesterone blood work results and this month my level went down from the whopping fly to the moon with excitement 38 to an okay not optimistic 28.2. I know my doc said that level still means that I actually ovulated, its just a little lower and to call her if I got my next cycle. Grrrhhhh! I mean I am happy I Oed, but just thought it would be higher somehow. I did the test on cd21 just like last month, but maybe I Oed later or earlier than the same cd15 and that made the numbers off? I know my temp was lower on cd21 and then shot up on cd22, so maybe if I had the blood work done the next day it would have been higher due to the temp rise? My temp went down a tad this morning as well, so I am bummed....I do not want to take Clomid any longer than I have to and it seems like I may have to take it again booohoooo!!!!

Just went to FF chart and looked at my notes and I adjusted some temps that I work up earlier or whatever and thought I needed to adjust them. So I went back in today and changed them to the original temps and I have the same O day, but my chart just looks more accurate. Care to take a look, it's in my siggy?

Head up KD -- you ovulated and did a lot of bd-ing. You have a great chance for this month!! I am rooting for you.

Littlemiss- Its still early. Didn't u say u thought you were only now 9dpo?? Its not going to be dark at that point. It does not start to get darker, like as dark as the control line until after 14dpo. Up til then, the test line is always lighter than the control line. But there is a line -- so that is positive! I am sure it is just early still. Give it a week and then line will get darker. It does not happen overnight. Don't forget that it takes 2-3 days for the hcg to double to even show a "darker" line.

Thanks Auroara -- I am feeling pretty good. Just hope all the little girl swimmers are strong and mighty and push those boys out of their way.
We are going to continue to dtd every night using his 2nd batch (so release when he gets home and dtd 1-2 hours later)until I get a dark confirmed +opk.

I think I will be o-ing on Friday. So we will have had 2 attempts 0-3, 1 attempt o-2, 1 attempt o-1.

My mother in law is forcing us to go to Disney with my dh's whole family in October. I am thinking "great, I just might be 32 weeks pg flying to Florida." All I am thinking is that my behind is going to be parked on the lounge at the pool and my husband, his mother, sister, brother and aunt can take care of the 3 crazy boys running around.
