TTC Girl- April 2012

[ILindGurl]

MyDream, I am so sorry. It's so hard when we get so close, but I have to believe there is a reason for everything. My doctor said it was a great sign that egg & sperm are meeting....and if we are patient it should happen with some time. Plus, conception after a chemical is suppose to sway pink I'm glad you are going to keep trying and hope it will work this next cycle for you!! Also, good that you are doing the bloodwork!! I'm thinking of you and hope you are ok...

Meanwhile...I have ZERO symptoms this month....so just waiting for AF to arrive next week. Another cycle bites the dust! ARGH!

ILindGurl, some have no symptoms at all from what I have read, so don't count yourself out until AF shows. What cd and dpo are you? when do you expect not to get your AF?

[ILindGurl]

thanks, kraizydaizy...I know because I didn't have any symptoms with DS1 (then again, I never thought I'd get pregnant so fast so I wasn't really paying attention), with #2 I didn't have any either except I vaguely remember maybe thinking my nipples looked darker (sorry for TMI, LOL). But with my chemicals, I knew I was pregnant...vivid dreams, nausea, metallic taste in my mouth, very tired and fell asleep watching tv a few nights early...I just felt it for some weird reason. This month, nothing. Not even a twinge, LOL. So, it's a bust. Same thing happened in Feb, the month following my chemical pregnancy in January. I guess you're right, and you never know...but my gut says nothing happened. I didn't do any testing this month bec I just wanted to relax and enjoy, so just based on CM I would predict I am 6dpo, maybe 7dpo. FF predicts April 26th and 27th for AF to arrive. I have stopped swaying, but I will say this if we did conceive (which I really really doubt based on no symptoms at all) then it's all boy...I had 9 days (NINE!) with EWCM...crazy! LOL.

Hi ladies ive been taking a break from the internet and temping just trying to relax and hope it helps i think im 6 or 7 dpo but could be wrong as i only used opk this time,i took a frer this morning and i could see as it was changing a white line where the positive would be,it sounds wierd maybe thats the first time i actually watched it changing? then now i cant really see anything ,it plays tricks on you though in the right light i can see sort of something then it goes away? Im reading into nothing probably..


And i see congratulations AMARI !!!sOOO HAPPY FOR YOU, did you use the preseed in the end and guaffenisen or just one?
I think if this month doesnt work for me im stopping the clomid it will be my third time and the last time i was way to hormonal and had a huge fight with dh,so i wont do it again

Sorry if i missed any congrats i just skimmed through as i dont have time to read all the posts

Temp is way below cover-line today and spotting, so I am out I think that AF is here today.

Many blessings on those still waiting on their BFP this month!

[sweetsister]

Aw sorry Kraizydaizy

[amari]

Sorry, Kd. Ugh.

Sweetsister-glad you took a break from temping, did it help relax you? I ended up using preseed only. Did you use it too?

[HopeandDreamG]

Kraisy- so sorry! Here's to may!

Sweetsister- Great to have you back. I always think I should take a break from the internet and never seem to be able. Last month I had a chemical. Skipping April. Will get AF early may and will attempts again!

Hi ladies. It's been crazy the past week and a half at my job, so I haven't been able to come online much.

MyDream, I'm so sorry about the chemical. Boy, having pg tests that are so sensitive is a mixed blessing these days ... it's great to hear early good news, but it's discouraging to have a mc that you would never have known about otherwise. But, dang it, May will be your month!!

KD, having AF show up stinks. But for some reason, I feel less discouraged at the beginning of my period than I do mid-2ww. I guess because, once AF arrives, you know you're only about two weeks from your next attempt. FX for May, for you, too!!

I can't wait to hear from Auroara ... she should be updating any time now, right?

You ladies are in my prayers!!

As for me right now, I'm 4dpo. We did FR this time instead of abstaining, with DH releasing and discarding twice a day. We got four attempts in: O-3 (p.m.), O-2 (p.m.), O-1 (p.m.) and and O (a.m.). I had crazy O pains on the day of ovulation itself and on O-2 days ... some discomfort on the right side both days, but definitely the most intense pains on the left side both days.

I used Zyrtec for a few days but no Benadryl ... and actually, I didn't really spot any EWCM this month, which is unusual for me. I also used RepHresh once, the evening of our O-3 attempt (a few hours after, so those spermies were up and gone). I resisted the urge to use it earlier during the next 72 hours, as that may have been what made last month fail. So by our O day attempt, it had been 60-some hours since RepHresh. *shrug*

I'm still not food journaling. It feels kind of weird not knowing where my levels are (sodium, in particular, is the area where I might be going over some days), but it also helps keep away the desperation of "I can't do this diet anymore!" because all of the recording and math was driving me nuts. I'm sure I'm staying below 40 g on protein, hopefully below 60 g of fat on most, if not all, days. Don't know on calories, but my weight is staying consistent (today I was 96.4 lbs.), so I must not be doing too badly on that.

It would be so great if this month was the one. I'll be testing on April 30 ... I'd sure take any prayers for a big fat pink positive!!

I'm sure some already saw it on other posts, but just wanted to offically update the baby's a girl!!! Really healthy and they said she had good "fluid" She's perfect and if I can figure out how to post pics, I'll post some pics of the U/S!
