Jan 2016 TTC / Testing - New Year BFPs!

[Quinn31]

Quinn31 - seems a lot of us are in the same boat! How old are you? What does RE mean? What are the ages of your current DD(s)? Would be amazing to be due date buddies end of this year or early next year for sure. Don't lose hope over the chemical. Plus, I've read so many amazing stories online of women having success getting pregnant with acupuncture as well in their 40s. Are you going 1x per week? I am also doing wheatgrass - powder form right now - especially from Af to O and preseed did seem to help us get pregnant. More than anything it seems like the more attempts I've had at 0, the higher chances of getting pregnant this past year. (Sorry girl swayers - I know this is opposite of what you are doing!)

I'll be 34 this month but I'm apparently prematurely running out of eggs or something.

I've also been taking wheat grass and just increased my coq10. I'm going acupuncture once a week and just had the actual fertility session done (the rest were balancing my energy, haha) and it was weird! She put the needles in my feet and toes and my ovaries and then connected them to some wire which sent impulses. I'm hoping that since I had the cp after starting acupuncture maybe it is helping and now I just need some good eggs. We're also doing multiple attempts and even will dtd 36 and 24 hours before my IUI which is the pattern we did when we got pregnant with dd2.

Yoga and raspberry tea may have helped me too. I love the yoga! It's simple stretches and it feels soooo good on my body. I just looked on YouTube for fertility yoga.

Looks like you are being really proactive, Quinn31. Hoping this next cycle is a sticky bean for you!!

This is very off the subject.. (Leave it to me to ask non-ttc related questions..) but for all you mommas out there..

DD received vaccines on wedensday at 10:00am.. She's had a fever of 102-103 since. Tried to keep it at bay with tylenol every 4 hours. Tylenol helps.. Gets it to 99-100.. But it's now 8:45pm Friday night and her temp got up to 104.. Gave another dose of Tylenol.. She's had about 4 oz of formula, a banana, and 2oz of oatmeal all day. Maybe a handful of puffs..
she's just so lethargic. Is this normal??? I hate this she my first obviously so I panic more than I should I'm sure. And I'm aware this maybe isn't the place to ask these questions.. But I feel I'm friends with you all and it also passes the time as I sit and wait for her to get better!! Lol.

Hi Purple. Can you please add me for testing on the 31st of January. Thanks!

[Quinn31]

Nann I would take her in to urgent care tomorrow. It may be just a coincidence that she has the fever near the time of vaccinations and they may be able to help. My Dr always said if it doesn't go away in 48 hours to call again. Both my girls had fevers right before Christmas and so did a lot of other kids at their daycare.

Thank you! Yeah it goes down with meds but shoots right back up again when they wear off. She's been on Tylenol every 4 hours since wedensday now

Nann - fevers can be due to vaccines. I know with my eldest when she had her 4 mth needles she had a fever & slept a lot more, but only for a day or so. If you're still worried in the morning it wouldn't hurt to get her looked at by a dr in case it's something else & it will put your mind at ease.

Quinn - fx this cycle ends in a bfp for you. I have heard good things about acupuncture.

I am on cd3 today. Woke at 3am with some pretty bad cramps. I haven't had period pain for a couple of years since seeing my naturopath so I'm not used to it. Was also a lot heavier last night too. I was sort of expecting it though as I googled chemical pregnancy & read that it can be heavier & more cramps. Cramping has eased off since then at least.

Nann I would definitely take her to the dr if anything just for peace of mind. Thanks for moon sign thing, it silly and just a bit of fun! Is it not still a girl sign on the one for my time zone?

Those swaying pink - do you keep the exercise up in the 2ww? I have been and am wondering if it's affecting chances of conceiving, but don't think it could?!!

[purple]

Ttc2015 I think you are supposed to keep exercising in the tww. Are you doing 60 mins of cardio? I don't do this as I really don't have time to fit in all that exercise when working full time. I'm not couch potato either as I have to do some exercise for my mental health and also as I have pcos so it helps lower blood sugar or something.

Nann - I hope your DDs temps drop soon. Mine have only had short reactions to vaccinations. Which did she get? The vax schedule must be different where you live. Here they get them at 2, 4, 6, 12 and 18 months and then 4 years.

Put me down for Jan 16th. I Oed yesterday on Jan 1st my natural LP is max 11 days but I was on Gonal-F injections this cycle so may have an extended LP. I probably won't test until 15DPO bc my chances this month are very low - only BDed (successfully, prior attempts he failed to finish) once 6+ hours after O. Both of us have been feeling bad lately and I have yet to recover much from over 6 months of severe Lyme's Disease.

I'm much more hopeful for the next 3 cycles!
