Hoping for a BFP

alexismd86 · December 2014

We've been ttc for a year and 9 months. This is our first cycle after varicocele repair and DH'S semen analysis has improved dramatically so we might actually have a good chance this time. I'm currently 8dpo. The last three days I've had very mild tenderness in my bbs (barely noticeable). I also had a really drastic mood swing last night (super angry to crying to normal like 5 minutes). And that's not typical for me. But my biggest hope is coming from this: the last cpl days I've had an increase in watery cm. Yesterday (7dpo) I noticed that what was in my underwear had a slightly pinkish brownish tint. But I wasn't getting anything noticeable when I wiped or anything. Today I haven't noticed it at all. I'm keeping fx that it was implantation bleeding! I tested this morning and got a negative but I think I'm going to test again on saturday. But I just want some encouragement. Anyone think it sounds promising??

All the women that are on this board are specifically doing IVF and normally multiple rounds of it. I would suggest reading the "read me first" section at the top of the board before posting any more. Also the TTC or TTGP is a better fit for you. We can not tell you just by listening to your possible pregnancy symptoms if you are pregnant. GL

I did read that section. Also I've been diagnosed with IF which makes me a "good fit" for the IF board. Just because I'm not doing an IVF round doesn't mean my situation is any less difficult. But thanks anyway.

You are not a good fit for a board specifically geared towards women who are doing IVF when you yourself are not doing IVF. Trouble Trying to Conceive is the board for you if you are not pregnant at this time. Please do not post a BFP on either board if you are lucky enough to be pregnant at this time as that would be exceptionally rude.

@alexismd86 No where in your little speech did you say that you had any IF related issues other than you have been ttc for over 9 months and your dh had a varicocele repair. Never said that your situation was less difficult only said that you would be a better fit for the TTGP or the TTTC boards. Again GL!

K. Well thanks anyway

Agreed with PP's-- you'll have more in common with 3T----BUT (and this is a big but), I would encourage you to read the READ ME FIRST post, lurk around a while, do a proper intro, and get to know the awesome ladies there. This type of fly-by post doesn't fair well on any boards. Also, IB is rare, and most only notice it in hindsight.

GL with your journey.

Hey - I see you've been trying for a year and nine months. I post on this board and the Trouble Trying to Conceive (3T) board, and for what it's worth, 3T is probably a better fit for your situation. However, nobody on 3T will be able to tell you if you could be pregnant - only a pregnancy test/blood test can give you answers. GL, read the 3T guide, and if this cycle doesn't work out, next cycle do an intro over on 3T.

I just want to be clear that I did not intend to hurt or offend anyone with my post nor was I intending to be rude. Believe me, I know how much of a struggle IF is as we've been dealing with it over a year and half (as mentioned), seeing a specialist since March and have spent thousands of dollars on tests and treatments throughout the process. I am not currently in a treatment cycle. However I am still considered IF. I was under the impression that this board was for those dealing with IF since neither the title nor the READ ME FIRST post indicate that it's only for those currently doing IVF. I apologize for not giving a better intro as many of you suggested. But all that aside, I was simply seeking support and encouragement as I'm sure many of you are. However, I do not feel that I have found that here. So you are all correct. This is not the place for me and I will be moving on to a different website. Thanks for your time.

Sigh... I don't get why ppl don't listen. I remember when I first intro'd on this board (before IVF) I was told to try 3T, told good luck, I said thanks, and was on my way! That's how to make awesome friends on the 3T and IF boards. Not trying to ask other ppl struggling with infertility if their BFP symptoms are real. If you have infertility you should be able to see why that does not fly well with this crowd. We want to know you first (this goes for 3T board as well) cheer you on while you cheer us on, then party with you when you get your BFP, as you do when others finally get theirs. It's simple.

Ok. I'm trying to find a way to say I'm sorry for coming across in the completely wrong way. I was really not trying to start anything. And then I felt attacked, which may have been a misperception on my part...it's sometimes very difficult to hear the words behind the text on a screen. I didn't expect anyone to tell me "oh you're definitely pregnant" as obviously no one can predict that. I really did just hope for some encouragement like "hey maybe you are!" Or "keeping our fx for you!" However, I do see how it would be difficult for you all, not knowing me or anything about me, to understand what I was trying to accomplish or to respond to me in a positive way. But I did leave this board with hurt feelings last night and felt incredibly awful. I guess I started off on the wrong foot so i appologize for that. I'm hoping that I can be forgiven for that and perhaps start over as I do really seek support and encouragement. So there's that. I'm sorry for any upset I caused.

Thanks for coming back. It's nice to hear from you, and I hope you decide to intro on 3T if this cycle doesn't work out (if it does, move on to your birth month group or the first trimester board and skip 3T). We absolutely encourage the people we know and we cheer for success, but we didn't know you and couldn't tell you if you were pregnant.

Maybe the forum should read for anyone going through IVF Treatment so there won't be any misunderstanding. @alexismd86‌ good luck to you.

Justone13 · December 2014

@alexismd86‌ Thank you for coming back and understanding where we are all coming from. Wishing you the best of luck with your future.
