February TWW

TScalei

We forgot to start this yesterday...let a whole new month of crazies begin!

TScalei

I *think* I go here now. 2 solid lines on my OPK last night and then they were a little fainter this morning. Not sure if I Oed last night or just have stronger lines at night. My temp dropped yesterday and then came back up to the range it normally is today, so I haven't really had a temp spike yet. DH and I have HIO all week though so whether O was last night or today we still had great timing. Now I have to try not to get my hopes up too much over it.

@Sp128 - Im sorry for the ambiguous O -its just so frustrating!

Guess I'll participate here.  I keep thinking AF will come.  I had 2 days of very light brown spotting which before CP indicated AF would be on her way but the spotting stopped last night.  Not sure what's going on.  I hope that wasn't it.  I actually need a flow this month so I can get my progesterone checked.

@TScalei Yay for O!!!

AFM: I'm sitting at 8/9 DPO and trying not to test. FF doesn't help with their pregnancy monitor - 17.2% of positive tests reported at DPO... Don't feed the crazy, FF! In any case, I have almost no symptoms, so I'm not hopeful.

TScalei

@Riversong15 - I hate those DPO charts too. I don't know whats easier testing early and getting a BFN to prepare yourself or having hope for a couple of days and then getting AF. Both pretty much suck. I hate looking at BFNs morning after morning though...Fx for you!

vlagrl29

I rarely test early.  Usually I get the spotting and that lets me know AF is on the way so I don't test.  I think in 7 months of TTC I maybe tested early twice.

SP128

@TScalei awesome on o and great timing!!  I feel out before o is even confirmed. Gotta have sex to get ku. Go f&:!;ing figure 

@RiverSong15 this will be my first tww with VIP ff. I haven't played around with it much but dh will be traveling all next week. May need lessons on how to up my bsc!!

@vlagrl29 I'm telling myself that I'll hold off on testing until af is late. We will see. That's what I said last cycle. Just a glutton for punishment sometimes 

RiverSong15

@SP128 I'm sorry for all the frustrating stuff. I get it. I saw though in WTO that you still got -1 and -2, right? That's still great timing, so you're definitely not out! I actually think -1 is the better day to hit than 0, simply because with temping, you don't know when you ovulated that day. If it was really early in the morning (say, right around when you temp) and then you don't have sex until the evening, the egg could already be gone. With -1, there's a better chance some swimmers made it through and are just waiting around for the egg. 

@TScalei Yep, the last two cycles I was seeing BFN after BFN and it got super depressing. That's why this cycle I think I'm skipping the Wondfos and going straight to the one FRER I have left. I'll trust that early result more if it's a BFN.

Technically I'm in the TWW but DH and I haven't had unprotected sex since mid December so I'm really just waiting for AF. And even though I know nothing can happen my temps are STILL messing with me!!! I'm 7dpo according to FF, pretty certain I'm 9dpo though, with a 13-15 day LP. In those 13-15 days I typically get 1, maybe 2 temps above 97.8. This cycle 5 of the last 7 temps have been between 97.9-98.2. LAnd one of the other two days I didn't temp so how knows that may have been high too. WT!?!

TScalei

@Sp128 - I agree with @riversong15 that before O is better timing than O especially since you never really never know exactly when you O. I think you still have good timing and are certainly not out. Now just to stay sane for the next 2 weeks...ugh!

*Question* - has anyone ever done the pineapple core thing before in the TWW?

Mack2342

I'm 10DPO.   waiting to test again until Sunday hopefully yesterday's was too soon 

SP128

@RiverSong15 and @TScalei thanks ladies. I did the pineapple core thing last cycle and the cycle I got pg. I don't remember the days you are supposed to do it. I usually look it up before. You are supposed to cut a pineapple in 5ths and eat a section a day. I usually just cut the core out and pop a few the days I'm supposed to eat it. I've read to not eat pineapple when wto because it could make cm too acide and to not eat it after the couple days of tww because it can induce contractions. 

brooklyngirl18

@TScalei i did the pineapple thing last cycle. I cut it into 6 thick slices, including core and ate one piece each day. it was quite tough to eat so i threw it in a smoothie with a banana and yogurt and it was really good.

edit to add I started it the day after O.

nalex420

Hey ladies I'm here with all of you....cycle day 25...af is expected next wed. 2/8....gonna test on Sunday or Monday....went to a card reader last night and got some interesting news about mc....fingers crossed for me and all of you

justsuzie

@TScalei  hope the wait flies by!

@RiverSong15 hold out sista!

@Mack2342 you're not out yet!

@nalex420 I am totally into that card reader stuff but never have gone.  I am super curious though.

nalex420

@justsuzie I have gone to her 6 time but last night she had me in tears...she mentioned miacrrage Nd answeres all my questions

babypi

I did the pineapple thing this cycle and don't know yet what the result is. I am at 11dpo and had a BFN this morning so I'm not sure it helped me, but it was delicious. 

SP128

@nalex420  Card reader would be interesting.  I went to a medium in December and going again tomorrow.  

TheFox&TheSparrow

I'm over here now. I've been kind of MIA the past few weeks, just kind of feeling blah. I had a 31 day cycle last month, and now I'm on cycle #3 since the MC. And I Oed super early for me on day 12. I had EWCM for three days and then last night I felt the cramping on my left side from 6pm-11pm. We HIO around 1030p, but I was assuming it was too late at that point anyways. Right?

RiverSong15

H encouraged me to test today. BFN at 10 DPO on an FRER. I'm pretty sure we're moving on to cycle 4 after our second loss, and cycle 6 overall. I think it's a cruel joke that I've worked hard to reduce stress and get healthier after our second loss, and now it's taking longer to get pregnant. I'm trying to find silver linings, but I'm just bummed.

justsuzie

@RiverSong15 SO sorry for the bfn.  It just plain sucks when you really have no control over some things. Don't get too down.  

TScalei

Im sorry @Riversong15.

migdala

So sorry @RiverSong15.

SP128

@RiverSong15  Sorry about the BFN.  I make myself feel better by telling myself that it will all be worth it someday.  When we get our babies they will truly be little miracles.

Edit: wrong word.  Eating lunch and bumping don't mix

TScalei

@SP128 - I tell myself that everything will be that much sweeter when it finally happens. Im hoping going through all of this will help me appreciate everything more and not sweat the small stuff as much. Trying to practice that in my life now but its a process.

SP128

@TScalie  how many DPO are you?  Are we still cycle buddies?  I'm just waiting for a third day of elevated temps.  I think I'm 2DPO

Mack2342

@RiverSong15 sorry for BFN.  It sucks.  I tested at 9DPO and am trying to hold off now that I'm at 11dpo    I'm having cramps so I'm certain that I'm out.  This was my 5th cycle.  I'm trying to wait until Sunday to test again but not sure I can wait.  

TScalei

@SP128 - yup still cycle buddies! Im about 1 DPO and had my first (slightly) elevated temp this morning.

Uhlease13

Sorry for the bfn @RiverSong15 it sucks when we can try so hard to "help" and we ultimately have no control. Hugs 

babypi

Sorry for the BFN @RiverSong15 FX it was just too early! I'm in the same boat, BFN yesterday at 11dpo, so I'm waiting to see if AF shows on Sunday. We're not out yet!

amberruka

I'm so sorry @RiverSong15. I am feeling similar going into cycle 6 TTCAL.

brooklyngirl18

@RiverSong15 im sorry for the bfn, hopefully it's just too early.

SoonToBeMommaHowe

Sorry for the BFN @RiverSong15

Uhlease13

I could not resist testing until tomorrow either and I caved...

There was a faint line I'll be going in for beta and progesterone blood draw tomorrow morning.  

TScalei

Ahhh fx for darkening lines @Uhlease13

splashmountain

@Uhlease13 FX for good betas!!

Mack2342

@Uhlease13. That's great. FX 

SP128

@Uhlease13  Wonderful!!! fx for you

NYTino24

Yay, @Uhlease13!!!! Fingers crossed for you!!

@Tscalei I did pineapple core and the rest of it when I got KU last cycle! That was the only time I did it and I implanted on 5dpo. Can't remember when I ate it though, but it was over 3-4 days.

SP128

@TScalei  I just cut my pineapple this morning : )   I just looked up when to start and it said the day of O.  A few days behind but oh well, can't hurt.  

Uhlease13

I was eating pineapple this cycle too! But I did the last cycle as well, so not sure it actually helps or not (but is yummy!!) 

thank you ladies, I'm trying to be hopeful right now.  

eta: posted too soon. Fx for all testing soon!!
