"I hate waiting"-Inigo Montoya (Princess Bride)

 Welcome to April, patient TTCAL-ers! 

amberruka

CD4. Just found out I have to go back to New Mexico to work next weekend, but just Sat-Mon. Shouldn't get in the way of FW too much. DH said last night, "I'm 100% now!" (he got abrasions/blisters from even one BD, treat for few weeks, would get it again, etc. I think we got it sorted out with a steroid treatment). Hee hee. 

ladipale

I'm on CD6 and may miss the best chance at my FW next weekend when I go to Portland for barre training. Oh well...

hdaley

CD6 here! Spotting still. Today was my first morning temping.  97.33.  Seems kind of low, I hope I'm doing it right!

vlagrl29

@hdaley - I'm sure you are doing it right.  My pre O temps were always in the 97s and the day after O they would be in the 98s.

babypi

@hdaley That sounds right. My pre-O temps are always around 97.18 and post-O temps are around 97.8. 

BelhurstBride

Finally got my period back!! 

CD3 and fingers crossed for this cycle. 

ladipale

Woohoo @BelhurstBride! Good luck!

ladipale

CD 10 - probably slightly fertile but also leave tomorrow for 3 nights and my kids are super sick so DH and I are beyond exhausted. Basically - this cycle is a BUST!

SP128

@BelhurstBride Yay!! Amazing what gets you excited when you are TTCAL huh?

@ladipale  Just blah on sick children and exhaustion.  When do you usually O?  FX that you get one day in tonight or when you come back.

@hdaley  97.33 sounds right.  My coverline is usually 97.4.  This cycle it's a little under 97.5 I think.  Sometimes prior to O, I dip into the high 96s.  

Edit.  forgot to tag someone.

ladipale

@SP128 - usually around CD12-14. I got pregnant once with CD10 unprotected sex (that ended in our first loss....) think I O'ed super early that time. I'm currently at barre prepping to teach a class and won't be home until almost 10pm but my husband already has plans to DTD tonight  

ladipale

Got in a quick session today on CD11 before my flight! So maybe a tad more hopeful! 

vlagrl29

I'm here now - AF came today - 2 days after I stopped the pills.

hdaley

Cd11 today. FF says today is the first day of fertile window. Sigh. I guess I should be excited but all I can think of here we go again.

vlagrl29

eh I'm fine and actually didn't cry today which is the first time since August.  I usually cry every month that AF comes.  I have hope that it will eventually happen for us and if not by August my new OB says we will look into other things.

ladipale

@vlagrl29 - hope is a great place to be!

hdaley

Cd 14 and I got a positive opk but no rise in temps yet.  They dropped half of a degree because we had our fan on last night!  Hopefully moving to tww in a day or so!

hdaley

Anyone feel like you are having an Easter Wgg hint in your uterus/fallopian tubes? Lol

vlagrl29

ha!  @hdaley - that's funny!  I have to say my mental outlook feels just like  it did in November when we conceived.  Actually we are using my BBT now for my daughters fever the last few days and she's using it on her dolls.

ladipale

Hope everyone WTO is hanging tough! This board is so quiet these days.... I guess thats good, but a little isolating for those of us here?

Mack2342

I wish AF would start for me today lol so I can start IUI process.  This is going to be a long wait!  

@ladipale it is quiet around here. I agree that it's a good thing but not so good for those of us still hanging around 

vlagrl29

my AF came 2 days after I stopped the progesterone and it's pretty much over now with very light spotting.  I don't know about everyone else but spring is making my mood so much better and I feel very optimistic.

Mack2342

@vlagrl29 glad your mood is better and you're optimistic 

warm weather her always makes me feel better too!  I'm hoping it does the trick this time 

vlagrl29

yeah I've been wanting to make new goals this season like some minor landscaping in our front yard and an actual real vacation this summer to either the beach or mountains.  Tomorrow when DD goes back to school I want to start working on the basement.  I want to donate all my maternity clothes from 6 years ago and baby/toddler toys that don't really mean much.  De-cluttering my life and mind is what I really want right now.

SP128

@ladipale  It is sooooo quiet around here.  I agree that it is a little isolating

@Mack2342  Hope you don't have to wait too long for AF

@vlagrl29 Again, I always admire your positivity.  

It is 86 degrees here.  I have to work at the clinic until late.  Yuck.  

amberruka

*waves* still here too! @SP128 I'm working my clinic late too, ha ha. No EWCM yet, but we BD Friday and have plans to tonight, I'm CD 13-14 (do I count wrong? Wed to Wed would be 7 days? Then I'm CD13. Brain fart. )

SP128

@amberruka  Get it done!!!  I just got home at 8 pm. Brutal.  Hope you get out at a decent time : )

dpjennifer

@ladipale I'm WTO, but benched as we have to take antibiotics for the ureaplasma.  Blah.  
It is quiet around here... that's good... but totally sucks when I think of how long I've been here and how long I've been on this journey.  Something I struggle with...

hdaley

My chart is so confusing me! Today is CD 16.  Two days ago on CD 14 I got a blaring positive opk, but my temps haven't shifted/spiked yet. This morning they rose a little but only .12.  This is my first time charting.  Why haven't temps shifted yet if I got a positive opk 2 days ago?

vlagrl29

@hdaley- I noticed sometimes those OPKs detect the surge before the actual egg is released.  You might O today and see the temp spike tomorrow.  Granted I only tempted 1 month last year but that was the case with me.

Mack2342

@hdaley I would agree with @vlagrl29. I bet you see temp shift tomorrow.  Which OPKs are you using?  I use the advanced clear blue so I usually get two days of blinking smiley followed by two days of solid and the the next morning I usually see a temp shift 

amberruka

@SP128 DH and I both got home at 8 too and it was so romantic....he actually said "let's just get to it since I'm really f@$king tired" hahahahaha. Me too, darling. But we did! Got a pos OPK this morning, so that makes Friday, last night, tonight he is gonna be super late but I think we can tomorrow for good measure. It's been months since I've been in a decent TWW....

ladipale

@amberruka - hooray! so happy you have a decent TWW!
We are so not romantic very often either. 

vlagrl29

so glad you got it in @amberruka - I hear ya about it being not so romantic.  I wish we had extra funds right now because I think we just need a mini vacation to reset.

hdaley

@Mack2342 I use Wondfos

Mack2342

@hdaley. I've used those too. I think it's the surge and you will see shift in temp soon! 

Mack2342

@amberruka.  Yay for decent TWW.  I think romance goes out the window with baby making.  It's stressful. I'm actually looking forward to medicated cycle this time and being inseminated that way we can have some fun back and it not be so stressful 

BelhurstBride

I haven't been very good at being active on here. As it gets nicer out I get busier getting stuff done outside. 

I've had two days of positive OPKs- I also use Wondfos. My life is too chaotic to be temping right now, so I'm not certain that ovulation has/will occur. Just keeping my fingers crossed! 

amberruka

@BelhurstBride I don't temp either. Normally use the excuse that hyperthyroidism causes constant false high temps, but really--I'm afraid of turning into an OCD psycho hose beast  . I have Easy@Home OPKs. 

vlagrl29

it's just all too much work for me - I'd rather spend that energy on something that makes me happy and productive lol.

SP128

Back to the drawing board a the cd1

i enjoy the temping . It makes me feel like I'm doing something. I also like the confirmation of o with the temp shift. 

@amberruka this is your cycle. I just know it!
