***January WTO***

Uhlease13

Yes!! New Year, hoping for some better luck for all of us! 

Where are you at in your cycle?

Uhlease13

Just realized, hope it's ok I started this thread, and then FF gave me crosshairs...

laeberge3

Haha, yay for crosshairs, @Uhlease13! 

I'm still WTO and got another near positive OPK today so hoping my body decides to go ahead and O and give me that nice temp shift to be sure. 

Uhlease13

Come on O @laeberge3!!

TScalei

Ugh I have had my fourth day of positive wondfo opks this morning -has anyone had that happen before? This is my first cycle temping and I had big temp shift on Sunday morning but I wasn't sure if that was because I temped an hour later and drank the night before. Im just getting frustrated and want to have a better idea of when I O.

SP128

@TScalei I had a temp shift yesterday morning and temped about an hour and fifteen minutes later than usual. I heard drinking the night before can mess with temps too. 

I think i may o today. I'm feeling so much pressure to get a bd in today. I have to work at my second job and won't  be home til 730 pm or so. We bd yesterday morning and tried at 130 am this morning. Unfort dh didn't finish and I was up until like 415 am. I know I should be ok if we bd tonigh. Im just super paranoid about missing the egg. It's the bsc. 

Just curious what people aim for for timing.... and if you mix it up with am/pm. We are pm people because of our schedules mostly. 

TScalei

@SP128 - we usually do the morning bec of our schedules ( DH works late) or I will tell him to wake me up when he gets home which is always fun. haha Its hard when DH can't finish - you try not to feel pressure but there is just so much pressure on it!

Happy New Year everyone!

@uhlease13 hooray for cross hairs!!

@laeberge3 hope you get that temp shift!

@tsalei totally understand your frustration with figuring out O time

@SP128 I feel the same way. DH and I have pretty much taken the approach of every day during a full two week window (slightly exhausting ha) but since I never know exact O time we figure it is the best surefire away. We are usually always PM peeps because DH is not a morning person ha

I think I might O today. Got pretty sharp left side pain which I usually get during O, but my cycles are so wonky and never the same that it is hard to tell. Got in a BD the last 5 days straight so all the fingers and toes crossed.

SP128

@GG620 I think I may O today too.  Perhaps we are cycle buddies... 5 days straight?  I'm so jealous.  If I O today I'll be at -5, -3, -1 and I'm aiming for O as well.  If it's today, I hope I am Oing later in the day since I won't be home til later this evening or that it already had a suitor waiting from -1.

CD 6...first AF after D&C just ended yesterday...here we go!!!!!!!!!  WTO.......

justsuzie

@BeagleMom34 Good luck!  

amberruka

Good luck @BeagleMom34! I'm sitting pretty over here at CD5, twidding my thumbs....

TheFox&TheSparrow

We still haven't made any decisions about whether or not to TTC again, but we haven't prevented it at all this month either. Although my husband did mention yesterday that he thinks he doesn't want another baby. So idk why he wasn't worried about preventing.  I'm on CD 15 so it should be any day now or maybe even happened already. I didn't get any super clear signs like cramping, and this is my first normal cycle after my d&c so I'm not too sure what to expect. 
Not really sure how I'm feeling either. Just kind of blah? I have days where I feel like I don't want to get pregnant again, and then days where I think I do. Sigh. 

mylittleversailles

Woo, this is where I belong now. First cycle on Clomid - let's see how that goes! Does anyone know if will muck or ramp up my sex drive?? Whatever, I've got two boxes of Preseed I got on sale in the cupboard back in the spring thinking I'd never have to use both of them.



@TheFox&TheSparrow It's a serious rollercoaster ride, no matter where you are in the process. Good luck! Edit: Oh, I can't tag you because of the ampersand in your username. 

laeberge3

@reneeannemm Fx that Clomid works well for you!! I hear you on things you never thought you'd need. I totally didn't think I'd need that large amount of wondfos and I just bought a whole new 50-pack last week.  Womp, womp.  Fx for you!

Sitting here twiddling my thumbs on CD24.  Evidently I had a false surge last week and it hasn't picked back up.  I broke out the CBADs this morning and it was low, so no impending O yet.  We should get some good timing in this weekend, so if O would like to happen in the next 3-4 days, I'd appreciate it!

justsuzie

I'm way past fashionably late to this party.  I can FINALLY go here now.  106 days after my ectopic AF finally appeared at my work holiday party.  Shitty timing but so glad I can finally join this board.  Cycle Day 1.  Whoo hoo.

@justsuzie



Welcome to WTO!!!! So excited for you, despite the crappy timing!

splashmountain

@justsuzie yay for AF!!! Now you don't have to take anything to jump start it! 

Uhlease13

Great news @justsuzie!!!

Always love that gif @RiverSong15

babypi

Congrats @justsuzie!! 

SP128

@justsuzie  Wooooooo hoooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!  At last : )

laeberge3

Woohoo @justsuzie!! That's a reason to celebrate! 

Mack2342

yay @justsuzie who would've thought we'd be so excited for AF! Lol. So glad it finally arrived! 

TheFox&TheSparrow

@justsuzie YESSSSS!!!!! so glad it's here! How are you feeling? 
@reneeannemm thanks girl. It is definitely SUCH a rollercoaster. I hope the clomid is kind to you ❤ 

CD 17 now so I think I'm headed over to the TWW thread. CM has dried up. I was super nauseous today and stupidly tested. WHY?! ugh. What is wrong with me. 

justsuzie

@TheFox&TheSparrow Actually feeling in very high spirits even though we are benched 2 cycles.  If my period is similar to pre-loss I will be able to ttc in mid-late March which doesn't seem that far off.  

Hopefulmommy1980

Hooray @ justsuzie

mylittleversailles

@justsuzie yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

mylittleversailles

An old roommate who unfriended me a long time ago because I was too happy at the time tried to add me again to tell me personally her wife is pregnant. Just right on CD 1. I sobbed for an hour. The first anniversary of our loss is so, so soon and nothing is getting any better for us, while every single person around me is getting to move on.   

Collecting my thoughts and baking a cake with DH because we're stuck waiting on our landlord to come take a look at our leaking roof :-/

laeberge3

Sorry, @reneeannemm. People just suck sometimes and on CD1 to boot. Hugs. Yesterday was the anniversary of my first BFP and it stung to think how happy and how naive I was. And here we are, a year later and still trying. You said it perfectly - everyone else gets to move on but us. 

Hope your roof gets fixed soon!

Uhlease13

So sorry @reneeannemm ugh why would she do that just to tell you!? So annoying and unfortunate  

SP128

@reneeannemm  So sorry about how an ass your friend is.  It does feel like we are the only ones not moving on sometimes.  TTCAL is so lonely.  Thankfully I have you gals to vent to and confide in since not many people know in real life.  However, I do believe that we will all move on.  There will be a light at the end of the tunnel.  Keep your head up and post a pic of that cake.  I know its going to be scrumptious

MimoCa

@reneeannemm Sorry your old roommate is a jerk. Like who refriends someone to tell them that news. I don't understand people. This is probably why I have no friends and have 0 chill lol.

splashmountain

@reneeannemm and @laeberge3 hugs to you both. 

SoonToBeMommaHowe

@justsuzie I don't think I've ever been so happy to hear someone has gotten AF!!!

@reneeannemm sorry about your jerk face friend, ugh she stinks

BeagleMom34

@justsuzie YAY!!!!!!!!!!  So exciting!!!!!!!

over here - Had a couple days negative for Clearblue advanced, flashing this morning and solid at 2pm today after waiting 4 hours...testing with a monitor and cheapies too. Monitor low this morning but cheapies look close...but this seems super early to O for me since my BFP chart i didn't get a solid+ till CD19. First real cycle post D&C though so maybe it's different...just going to keep tracking and work on those ❤!!

Hopefulmommy1980

@reneeannemm I am sorry that timing really sucks. Hugs and I am sending you positive thoughts 

MimoCa

@justsuzie yayyyyy!!!!! Finally cycle day 1 after a very long wait! Congrats!

justsuzie

Thanks ladies.  AF was accompanied with a 101 fever this morning.  UGH!  This is definitely going to mess with my temping.  

@reneeannemm...Like we used to say in the 90s "Mean people suck".  Sorry for the shitty people bringing you down. 
@BeagleMom34 Good luck tracking.  I haven't had much luck with OPKs.  My lines always look the same.

mylittleversailles

Thanks, all. She was always really, really mean (Wasn't a chosen roommate deal; I was very young and it was a house rented per room) but this just takes the cake. Unless she was e-stalking my blog (she's not too bright so probably not???) there's no way she could know. 

RiverSong15

@reneeannemm Ugh. What an awful person. Either way, whether she knew or not, I'm so sorry you had to deal with that. Hugs.

TScalei

@justsuzie - omg yay - finally!!!

@reneeannemm- I'm sorry that's just crappy. I totally get feeling like everyone else's life is progressing the way it should while nothing is going right for you....it just stinks.
