TTC Girl- April 2012

[HopeandDreamG]

Good luck my girl.

Kraisy- how r u? Hope your doing well in the 2ww.

Getting blood results later today from yesterday. Hoping numbers are down (ironic) so I can start clomid today. Cd 3 today!

Trying to keep busy on other thoughts besides ttc. Think it help last month. Reading the hunger games. Loving it so far. Anyone read it? I never read between my boys and work, activities but I'm enjoying it right now!

Hi Hope, I hope your levels are back to normal. I know you said it's ironic you say that, but if there were not the darn early HPTs you probably would not even know you were pregnant? I hear so many ladies getting pregnant right after a MC and it's always girls it seems, so I am rooting and praying for you. Did your doctor say anything about you going on progesterone after ovulation to help the bean stick? Will you be doing the trigger shot this time as well?

I just don't know if I will test early this time. I have one FRER left and I guess I will use it when I am officially a day late. Do not quote me on this when I cave and test early LOL!!!

I am good. I am 7DPO I think. I say this because my temps are so high that I keep clicking disregard then on my FF chart because it is changing my O date to cd15 and I know that it had already happened, so I am not sure what is going on. I hope my temp stays up cause that mean progesterone is really high right? Plus I did take the Clomid on cd3-7 instead of what was on the bottle of cd5-9, so maybe that is the cause? I have my 21-progesterone blood work tomorrow, so I hope it's through the roof. I have had a few abdominal twinges/cramps but nothing that lasted for a long enough period for me to think it was implantation yet. I know I am way too early for that and my temps would surely come down with an implantation dip if that was the case? I just keep scrutinizing everything my body does these days, hoping, praying that I don't have to take Clomid anymore.

Have a wonderfully blessed day ladies!!!! Hugs and girly vibes, baby dust, wishes and everything pink to you all!!!

Hope you see a BFP mygirl!
Good luck with your numbers Hope! Hopefully you can start Clomid ASAP n get straight back into it. I've just started reading Hunger games too, only a chapter in. Everyone loves it so I'm looking forward to getting into it.

Well we just dtd. It was a knee jerk reaction because I think I ovulated early. I got a very light line on Sunday (cd11) night with FR, then another light line on Monday (cd12) arvo but still nowhere near the control line, then no line at all later that night. I took 2 CBFM today (cd13) , but no smileys. I usually get smiley b/w cd14-16. Had lots of cm last few days n noticed that it disappeared during the day n when I tried to feel for cp all inside felt really swollen n hard to insert my finger (sorry tmi!) I had a few ov like twinges on left side today n last night too.
So I thought, if in doubt dtd. I don't want to miss the egg! Another month on the diet terrifies me!! But because it was rushed, DP didn't have hot shower, Rephresh was used about 70hrs ago (was going to use tonight), and we dtd after dinner so I'm worried blood sugar will not be low enough. Im really bummed that it didn't all go to plan and I couldn't incorporate all the other sway things that I normally use.
I hope I did the right thing dtd; it doesn't really matter if we were too early, I just pray we weren't too late! We are doing abstain so we are going to try n dtd again in a couple of hours while sperm numbers are still low. It's 11pm here so poor DP will have to be woken up for another round...I'm sure he's feeling used and abused, lol. think I will continue to take opks n see what happens. Just to be safe might get DP to switch to compressed fr in case we have to have another attempt in a couple of days. Fx this is it for us!

Hope, I hope the results are also the ones you want! I have the trilogy of The Hunger Games but I haven't started it yet. I want to though, I hear they're really good. actually, I've read the first chapter lol.. I've been distracted with other books lately.

Kraizy, I know what you mean about testing early. for me, it was more like torture.. so I don't think I will test until after AF is due.. especially when I got evaps and I'd never gotten any before and my hopes were up only to be crushed. oh well, you live and you learn.

Haven't read the Hunger Games yet, but I'm sure I'll like it. I do read a ton, but it usually goes in cycles where I spend all my free time reading and then I'll read so much I'll take a few months off.

Hope, I hope you can start the clomid today and I still think proceeding with TTC right after a chemical can only help your chances of your babe being a girl.

Amari, I cannot express how happy I am that you got a BFP! Yay!!! You can now eat what you want, and enjoy it! My only thoughts are enjoy whatever you want right this moment, because I don't know if you experienced any MS or not with your boys, but my stomach starts to feel *off* around 6 weeks.

Lala, I agree that TTC esp. when swaying does not always go according to plan!! For my sway, I wanted to DTD a few days in a row because that is sooooo NOT our pattern (husband has a very low sex drive, and this would have tasked him) but he couldn't perform like that, so I had to go with a frequency I really did not like, plus I did not use rephresh the month i got a BFP because I got a BFN in Nov.

Easter was OK for me; it was bday too, and that was a problem, that it felt very unspecial, and I was just mierable that day, tho I kept it together for the boys. Plus I really dislke my husband's family and having to spend an entire day with them clucking and fussing made it even worst; it was like the bday from hell, and well DH didn't do anything for my bday either, he got me a cake, but only because DS1 made it a big deal. I guess I should just grow up; birthdays really are for kids, anyways, to enjoy.

auroara - Happy Birthday! My birthday is on the 8th too!

Oh, and you will totally love the Hunger Games, I started them and couldn't put them down - finished all three books in a record 5 days!!

[Mochagirl]

auroara - I didn't know it was your birthday! Happy Birthday!

I read Hunger Games back when it first came out and have been eagerly anticipating the movie ever since I heard they were making it. I finally went to see it last night, and it was good!

[amari]

Happy bay, aurora! Thanks for the food wishes! I am eating a lot, I get ms the entire pregnancies and have to take meds until after birth, so I feel you!

Kd-hope you get a bfp, fx!! I never end up holding out on poas!

Hope-here's to April!! Are you sticking with100 or going to 150?

Lala and my girl- I know I'm forgetting others but can't look back on my phone, good luck with attempts and 2wws!

[HopeandDreamG]

Kraisy - it's true I would not have known it was a bfp but also had blood work bc of the trigger so I will know each time! Do u know where the thread is about the difference in taking clomid 3-7 vs 5-9? Was it earlier in this thread. Or march ttc?

Lala- it never goes as planned. The good thing is there really is no "wrong way" you can just compensate in another way.

Auoara- HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

Waiting on doc office to call me with my numbers. Really hoping I can start my clomid tonight. Don't want to have to make decision about trying without it!

Ribbons- 5 days. Wow I'm impressed.

Mocha- thinking I'll get dh to go see it too! Or maybe a girls night!

Nks- hi!

I was at a bulk food store and saw a woman with 4 girls and her last baby boy!! They caught me looking and I wanted to b like"hey r u on gender dreaming we might know each other"!!!!!

[HopeandDreamG]

Amari- waiting to hear from doc. I'm afraid going up will hurt my lining. Will see what they say soon. Thinking of staying with 100!

Hoping your still enjoying your bfp! I'll b there shortly
