**June TWW**

I'm spotting today and hoping it doesn't get heavier - definitely lighter than flow and I'm trying to remind myself that with my first pregnancy I spotted for 3 days and thought AF was coming every day... but then like all y'all (practicing my Texan) I think that the last didn't work out so being different would be good... sigh

@iceandsnowflakes29 - I'd throw a roll of duct tape and a can of spray cheese in the mix just to really throw them off ;-) 

@catiecatp - sending good juju for af to stay away!

MissPrint1219

Well, it looks like I'm out for this month. Af decided to make her grand entrance this morning, that @&$#:-). At least I got the definitive answer I was looking for!

Sorry for AF showing up @MissPrint1219

@catiecatp good luck figuring out your possible move to Texas/relationship implications with DH. also major fx you get a bfp and it kicks DH's butt into gear.

@iceandsnowflakes29 that grocery list is so funny! back in january me and DH were in walgreens with our son who was being a 15 month old lunatic and we were buying pregnancy tests and a case of beer. the cashier looked at us and our son and items and laughed out loud. 

tw over

well, looks like my feeling was right with FF being incorrect about the O day. After entering my temp this morning, it notified me that it was changing my chart based on recent data. i'm not 3 DPO instead of 5. That puts our timing at -3 and 0, not ideal but i'll take it.

I had a big temp dip today to almost cover line at 4dpo. I unashamedly googled the crap out of that this morning. Turns out it's related to a secondary estrogen surge. Neato. Turns out I had this at 3dpo with my last BFP so cue all the crazies now. 

@brooklyngirl18 Very similar to my timing this cycle, FX for us!

I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling so anxious this month. I told my husband how I was feeling and he said you're still young! Cause that's totally the point... oh husbands. Had the D&C April 15th at just over 15 weeks although baby had passed shortly after 13 weeks. We were told we only had to wait one cycle. Cycle started 5/19 so we have been  on it like clock work every other day (I've only heard one I'm too tired complaint so far -- but he toughed it out lol). It didn't take us long to get pregnant the first time so I'm hoping that's the case this time around too. Just hopefully it involves a healthy baby we get to take home and love. AF would be due right before our wedding anniversary so I'm hoping for a really fantastic anniversary present!

I wasn't here long, but hopefully I can get the ball rolling on good news for this month.  

My loss was recent - D&C was 4/5.  I was about 9 weeks along.  Dr. said to wait one cycle.  
AF returned 5/7.  We DTD on CD 12 and 14, though I was not optimistic at all because CM was almost nonexistent.  My temperature rise was also only slight - from 97.6 to 97.8.  It later went up to 98.1 but FF thinks that the 97.6-97.8 shift was ovulation on CD15.  
On CD22 I decided to try my first OPK.  It was positive... for 5 days straight.  So I was thinking it was some sort of post-loss hormonal issue.  

But then -- BFP on CD26 (this Wednesday).  Confirmed today via blood test.  

Hoping upon hope for good news for all of you ladies!!!  Thanks for welcoming me.  

OK, BFP snowball.... Start rolling!

@16isourluckynumber congrats on the BFP - wishing you a healthy pregnancy

rainbowturtles

@16isourluckynumber yayyy! Congrats! Wishing you all the best

SnobunnieMel

Yay!! We haven't had one of these in a while. Save us all some seats over in Feb17

@16isourluckynumber congrats!!

Congrats @16isourluckynumber !!! Hope more of us can join you!

RiverSong15

Congrats @16isourluckynumber!!! Best wishes for a sticky baby! 

As an aside, can you remove the term "baby dust" from your post? That term is not used on TB generally and could be offensive to other loss moms that may have cremated their babies.

16isourluckynumber

@RiverSong15 - yes, done.  Apologies.

Thanks! No worries, and congrats again! I hope you have the most boring, uneventful, and healthy 9 months!

MissPrint1219

Congrats @16isourluckynumber!!! I hope this is the first of many BFPs in here :-)

chloe97

Congrats @16isourluckynumber!! I was literally thinking to myself I gotta check out TWW to lurk for some BFPs and we got one! As much as we'll miss you, Im hoping to see some of more of you ladies head out this month! Good luck!

16isourluckynumber

Thanks everyone!  Hoping for many more for you this month!  

roxgibbons

@16isourluckynumber congratulations!!! That's wonderful news! Yes let's get the ball rolling and get those Feb 17 babies

How are my two week waiters doing? All is quiet on this front, about half way through this business now. Drinking my warm water this morning and trying to stay positive. Trying being the operative word, more like oscillating between absolute negativity and mild hopefulness that this might work!

How are you feeling after your IUI @roxgibbons ?

MooFish2364

Ugh...I don't know why I do this to myself. I decided to POAS today at either 10 or 11 dpo and of course it was a bfn. We are meeting up with friends for dinner and drinks tonight and wanted to have a drink. I know it's still early but when I did manage to get KU I got my first bfp at 11dpo. This is torture! I know we all feel this way and I shouldn't complain...but I just don't understand why I have such a hard time getting pregnant went it seems like everything is working as it should. I think if I'm not KU this month that I'm sending DH in for a semen analysis. 

roxgibbons

@BornReady I'm 8dpiui today. I've been feeling good about this cycle but of course I woke  up this morning and I'm in doubt. Trying to do my best to just ignore that and stay positive. I've been having off and on pain on the right side and feeling tired but I'm "trying" not to read into it too much. Even DH is symptom spotting. How are you doing? When do you plan on testing? 

@MooFish2364 I understand how you feel. I'm so tempted to POAS but I did a trigger shot which I didn't test out so I will have to wait till my test date. It is torture!! 

SnobunnieMel

@roxgibbons when the DH starts getting the crazies it ma the worst!!!

mine is already asking when I can test and yesterday I had some sharp Ute stabs and was beyond exhausted so he is giving me this "knowing" look. I finally had to show him the picture of where the egg is and how that's impossible at the stage

dubcompanion

Last night when I was trying to fall asleep, my lower right abdomen suddenly started pinching. Ouch! Luckily, it only lasted a couple minutes. Today I am 9 DPO, and being the POAS freak that I am, tested this morning. Not surprised to see BFN. Nonetheless, the crazy part of me is hoping the pinching is a sign of implantation, so it gives me hope.

@moofish2364 When I was KU'ed, I tested the first time at what I estimated was 11 DPO and got a BFP, so that's my rationale for testing so soon....which really doesn't help my POAS tendencies...

roxgibbons

@dubcompanion I'm usually not a POAS addict but I have the biggest urge to. It's too soon and like I mentioned in the previous post I triggered so it's very likely I could get a false positive now so I must wait it out- arghhh!!! 

@SnobunnieMel mine is doing the same thing! He's making me nuts. I took a nap yesterday and he was convinced it was a sure sign. I mean- I would love it to be but I don't want to get my hopes up. He's generally the calm one but he was asking me when we can test and how early etc. I worked out yesterday morning and before I left he made me promise to take it easy and be mindful of our situation. I assured him I was doing an old lady workout how many days DPO are you? I think Memorial day, right? I have a beta scheduled on Friday but will POAS in the morning- just so I have an idea of where we stand. 

SnobunnieMel

@roxgibbons I am only 4 days post right now. DH is so invested in this month if it doesn't work I think just letting him down will be the even bigger disappointment. 

catiecatp

OMG if my temperatures weren't telling a negative story I'd be so convinced I was KU this month and so close to POAS at 10-11 DPO (consider DH prefers to wait to 18DPO... well that was the first time - this time I know my LP is shorter than that so maybe we'd do 14-16DPO).

I can't remember being this emotional (seriously nearly bawled at yoga multiple times today and had to concentrate on my breathing to calm down - and it wasn't as if I was thinking of anything but the poses and a bit of frustration with myself over not doing them as well as I have in the past... certainly nothing I've cried over ever) - and a lot of dizziness with things that normally aren't too bad - and that was my big symptom the last time I had a BFP.

So we'll see, BSC but AF is due in a few days so we'll know one way or the other - if my temperatures would pick back up I'd be a happy camper.

@moofish2364 - I feel the way that you do about feeling like I shouldn't complain. I think that others have been through worse, that others have been through more, that I'm still early in the process... 

KarenBeth714

AF is due tomorrow. So nervous. Thought I felt some cramping - but that's kind of irrelevant because the last time I got a bfp I had mild cramping for weeks but no af. Didn't get a bfp till five days post. So much is depending on this cycle.. and will effect plans for the rest of the month. Good luck to all.

SnobunnieMel

If this is a common sight in your kitchen, you are in the TWW

Nice @SnobunnieMel! Nice technique- mine looked like a massacre of the pineapple

Super exhausted and hungry today at 5 dpo. Totes KU. (Rather than the long run I put in yesterday.)

iceandsnowflakes29

@SnobunnieMel Fancy! 

catiecatp

could someone remind me of the pineapple rationale? what is it supposed to do (other than taste delicious...)

dubcompanion

I have been having AF-like cramps all day, and my ta-tas are sore like none other. Universe, could I please just be KU'ed so I can stop going BSC for 2 weeks every month? Kthxbye

@catiecatp If my sources are correct (and it's the internet, so who knows  ), fresh pineapple contains an enzyme that acts as a blood thinner; it boosts circulation to parts of the body that facilitates implantation.

catiecatp

thanks @dubcompanion - I'll be sure to stock up next month if I'm still here  

SnobunnieMel

@catiecatp pineapple, most specifically the core, contains bromelin. The pH of it helps thicken cervical fluids and the bromelin thins blood like aspirin which is more conducive to implantation. It is recommended to eat a slice of pineapple core (and the meat) every day from dpo0-5 to improve implantation
