Jan 2016 TTC / Testing - New Year BFPs!

[purple]

I would say it is ok to just brush it well until you can get to a dentist. My filling came out last year and I left it almost 4 months before I got it it fixed... I was a bit distracted by the whole miscarriage thing and it came out while I was pregnant.

I'm wondering it it is possible I already ovulated, i doubt it because I normally can tell when I do but maybe my symptoms weren't strong if it was early. I had a bit of O pain around cd14-15. This is why temping is so useful but it stresses me out although then at least I know where I'm at in a cycle!

[maidentomother]

Purple, thanks so much for your input. Was it a big filling? Mine was very deep & quite large, 1/3-1/2 of my tooth. I can't stop touching the sharp edges with my tongue. So you didn't end up losing a tooth or anything?

Do you have any complete past charts I could look at? That would help with determining if you've Oed. Are you temping vaginally? Your temps seem a bit low plus no fertile CM...I'd be inclined to say you haven't Oed yet.

Maidentomother I have no CM, is that not more common before AF? I thought it was suppose to dry up? so that is maybe a good sign for you???? AF is like the worst, complete evidence that your not pregnant and as if that is not bad enough it is painful and a real bother to have to deal with! I am not sure if I am going to try next cycle. I was not planning to get pregnant so soon, I was planning to get on the diet a few months, do my research and then try. Now am confused because I now feel that I have missed out, even though I did not plan it, it sort of makes me keen to try again. I am still hopeful for you Maidentomother you had alot more symptoms than me. I had cramping before I got a positive pregnancy test with DD, I had CM as well and as I knew nothing about pregnancy at that stage I thought I was having a mc!

Anyone else really disappointed that the timing idea for swaying girl or boy does not work? I think the more I read about swaying, the more I think there are so many variables that interact that it is nearly impossible to predict.

Fingers crossed for everyone, who all are waiting to test?

Ksmom I think our next cycle will be our final so yes I will do every 4 days plus one in fertile window (but only if e4d does not fall in fertile window, which I think it will). I just want to get pregnant now, draw a line, move on, deal with whatever happens. So I need to know I have tried absolutely everything I could have to conceive, whether it's blue friendly or not. Another negative this morning at 12dpo, but af not due until the weekend so outside possibility could still get a positive, but I doubt it as have no symptoms. It just happened so easily with the boys, I'm a bit worried something has happened to my fertility since then.

So sorry to hear your discomfort maiden, it sounds awful! You hav not had an easy time! Def try another test, fx

I so hope you're right! I'd love to get a BFP this cycle, especially since I probably won't be able to test until around Valentine's Day. I have that paranoia too of what if I can't get (or stay) pregnant. After my losses last year, I have this nagging fear that if I do end up pregnant, I'll miscarry again. I hate having negative thoughts like that but I can't help it. Fingers and toes crossed I'm wrong and that we'll both get sticky BFPs soon!!


Maiden I'm sorry you're having such a rough time!

Purple I don't think you o'ed yet. What's the latest you have ever o'ed?

Girlie I hope you get a BFP soon! Getting AF is always so disappointing, especially when you thought there was a good chance of being pregnant. :/ I'm actually kinda glad timing doesn't sway because it would be SO frustrating to try and time DTD. There's really no way to accurately predict O down to the day, not even with OPKs. There are a lot of variables that decide boy or girl but the strongest sway tactics seem to be (for blue or pink) diet, exercise, and number of attempts. I think it's much simpler looking at it that way rather than worrying about timing or pH or minerals or whatever else they're doing over at IG. It is scary knowing swaying isn't a guarantee but it at least helps to tip the scales in our favor.

[maidentomother]

Girlie, I think it varies quite a bit from cycle to cycle and from woman to woman. I personally usually have a fair bit of CM most of my cycle. I have more CM in early pregnancy and sometimes I notice a small increase and/or shift to thinner, more fertile CM right before AF. So like my temps it could go either way. Remember I'm on fertility meds so all my symptoms could be a result of them. Plus since I have never cramped in pregnancy before, I just can't help but feel cramping is a bad sign for me.

I agree with you about AF, it is a real downer when TTC. I have severe cramps the first day too. Plus it's a reminder that I may have to wait 3+ weeks until I O...

I agree with ksmom that timing is too much of a hassle for me to wish it worked perfectly. But of course I would love an easy trick that guaranteed gender, like BD position or something.

Girlie, I definitely think 3 months minimum on the diet (plus cardio if possible) will greatly enhance your chances so worth waiting if you aren't pregnant currently (and I totally understand feeling disappointed if it turns out you aren't). How many kids/what genders do you have? If you already have 1 DD you may not need to sway as hard as others.

ksmom, I can't imagine going through 2 losses so close together and while swaying. I really hope you've 'used up' your lifetime portion of losses. I know it doesn't necessarily work that way but I think it is unlikely that your next BFP won't stick.

[ksmom]

Thank you Maiden. I really didn't think I'd have back to back losses, especially since I've always had relatively easy uneventful pregnancies. I'm actually glad I didn't get pregnant last cycle so that my body could have a bit of a break and have a regular AF. I know the odds are probably low I'll have another loss, but I also know I'll still have that doubt in the back of my mind, worrying me and wondering "what if?"

IMG_3262.jpg I wanted someone to look at my chart see what you think? I think I may be out this month temp went back up this am but Im confused on when I O because fertility friend changed it. I know that I had first pos NYE peak the next 2 days. I should be the same 11 dpo today but it says I'm 13?

[ksmom]

Gagirl, unfortunately I don't think your chart is reliable because almost all of your temps were taken at different times. I think it's possible you didn't O until CD19 (or later) if you got a pos. OPK then.

[maidentomother]

Gagirl, how much variation in what time you take your temps? Is it always right after at least 3 hours of sleep? I personally take my temps at different times every morning bc I have an erratic schedule, but as long as I temp after my biggest chunk of sleep I get accurate results. Id guess you Oed between CD12-14, so CD13 maybe? Plus that makes you 11dpo like me! How long is your LP usually?

A secondary estrogen surge on CD17 could be responsible for the positive OPK the next day. What brand OPKs?

Do you usually O early? I think your chart looks great!

[Gagirl0221]

Ok thanks this was pic of the opk image.jpgimage.jpg that I got a couple of days after other ones but I also know for sure the others was were very pos Bc I took to different kind and both were pos 31 1 and 2nd. It all confuses me.
