Any other DISers trying to concieve? Reread OP for the QOTD!

Hi everyone!

I took a hpt yesterday at 12dpo (I think) and guess what?? It was positive! Then a few hours later I threw up 3 times! (I'm not complaining!) I just took another one today just to make sure with a different brand, and it was positive as well.

I really felt like I would be getting AF any minute. I had really low cramping/pressure, very sore bbs, and was getting nauseous the past few days. Since yesterday I have been nauseous and it hasn't gone away. I even had trouble sleeping last night because I feel so sick (not complaining again!)

Anyway, we are very excited and very lucky since this was only my second month trying. We lost our little angel at 8 weeks in August from a m/c, so we are praying this one sticks. My EDD is July 22!

I am calling my OB today to see what the next step is. I know he said he wanted to monitor me more closely this time after my last m/c.

Pixie dust and BFP's soon to all of you too!

Thanks everyone! I'm still in shock! I am so emotional and I keep crying.

I just went to my OB to get a blood pregnancy test and for them to check my progesterone level and then I go back on Friday for the same thing just to make sure they are going up like they are supposed to.

You guys are the only ones I'm telling till 13 weeks except for our parents!

Emily-I can't believe our EDD are so close! We will definitely have to chat about everything we are going through and fears, etc.

I'm nervous...but on

I am glad your doctor is monitoring you closely. If progesterone levels are not high enough, they can supplement them (I won't go into detail how).

Sticky babies for all!

What is the soonest anyone has gotten a BFP? My cycle is all over the place; I have been really tired lately and having mild cramps (it could be that I am stressed from planning our vacation).

I want to test, but I don't want to see a BFN.

 

[DisneyDreamer8]

Yeah Mickeybar!!!! How exciting for you!!!! Sending lots of Sticky Baby Dust your way

 

[DisneyDreamer8]

I need some advice.....

I've been re-thinking "trying" this cycle. I've have not had a +OPK yet (but the line is getting darker) and DH has a cold. He goes in on the 17th for his tests. So here is my question...do we:

a. Try on the off chance we get a BFP "naturally"

or

b. Take this cycle off and wait for DH's test results to come back then start Clomid.

I just HATE seeing that BFN at the end of each cycle

What to do

if you have done fertility drugs and a trigger shot, the earliest you can test without a false positive is 10DPO. if you are TTC naturally, not sure. i've heard of women getting BFP as early as 8-10DPO. Others don't get a BFP until 17DPO. so test if you want early, but just know it might not be right. or wait and see if AF comes. i am testing tomorrow am. i am supposed to test Friday officially per my RE, but can't wait. i tested this am, but was so anxious, i forgot to wait for the digital test to show it was ready.....so it didn't register at all either way. doh! i did do an IUI/follistim and trigger this cycle, so i had to wait until at least 10DPO. tomorrow will be 13DPO. i've had some symptoms, including some sore bbbs now! which i never get, so i am slightly hopeful!!

good luck to you!

and mickeybar- a huge congrats!!! i am thrilled for you!!!!

 

[kellyf2626]

Mickeybar - congrats!!! That is so exciting!! Lots of BFP's lately around here!! Sticky baby dust to all of you!!

So, I went to my OB yesterday. She is so nice, and listened to me ramble and show her my printed FF charts for like 10min. We then had a long discussion about how a "normal" amount of time TTC is about a year. She really doesn't want to run any tests right now (I am on month 5 TTC) - especially since I am healthy, have never really had any problems, and have regular cycles. She did make me feel a lot better, and gave me some good advice - like when I start to see EWCM, to abstain from BD for about 48 hours - and then BD. So, we will see. Maybe this month will be it?! That would be great!! Hoping some of these BFP spread around to the rest of us still trying!!

Why does she want you to wait 48 hours?



Michelle, thanks for answering. I'm anxious and just want to find out already. I am going to wait a little longer, because I really don't want to see a BFN. Lots and lots of that you see a BFP!

oh and your pug is precious, i love pugs! we have two boston terriers!

well hold off on testing then for sure.....i tested a day early.....this morning and guess what.....another BFN. i am starting to think it just isn't in the cards for me to be a mom of my own biological child. i just don't know what to think anymore and am so beaten down, so sad, so tired of all of this. i've tried on our own for a year and then have done 7 months of fertility treatments, including 4 months of clomid, then 3 IUIs, two of those with clomid and this last one with follistim injections. plus i had the lap last month. still NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i just don't know where to go from where.

i am sitting in my hotel alone crying, since i am on a business trip. this one really is hitting me hard since i had some symptoms, or so i thought. i don't ever get my hopes up, but i let myself this time, so it is harder to swallow. well i have to go pull myself together to go sit in a seminar all day long. i pray that maybe i am wrong and maybe it is too early. today is 13DPO and CD25. i o'd early due to the shots. i got AF last month on CD25, but i usually get her late (later than day 28). so who knows. i just wish she would come if she is going to. i was blessed to get free shots this first injection round, and next month i'll have to dish out the $1,000 or more for the shots probably. i can't afford IVF. i just don't know what we will do. everything is healthy on me since the lap, DH is fine too. why oh why????

and then my friend who was 6 weeks learns she has a 'fake' pregnancy last night. no fetal pole or heartbeat, getting a D&C today to remove the placenta or whatever. i feel so bad for her. she was trying to #2.

and then another friend, with NO insurance at all- she is student teaching- get pregnant unplanned, by accident and is over 3 months along and hasn't even seen a doctor yet. and here i am, ready to do anything i can and i can't be blessed with a baby. it just breaks my heart more each month. and my age is worrying me. i am 33 ....and a half.

oh well, just had to whine and complain some as this is just hard. i gotta get ready now for my seminar and wipe away these tears for now........

 

[mickeybar]

Michelle-

I'm so sorry you are going through this. I cannot imagine how you must feel. Don't give up hope though. Just keep trying and try to think positive.

 

[helenabear]

Hi y'all! I know a few of you have had great news! I am thinking good thoughts and sending sticky dust your way.

Me, on the other hand, the ultrasound did not go well. The sack has kept growing, but the baby has been absorbed. There was nothing there

We are hoping for the D&C to be scheduled tomorrow, or I won't be going on the trip.

Michelle, my heart is going out to you right now

Helenabear & Michelle - I hear you! I've been in BOTH of your situations... just hang on.

Helenabear - I had the same situation as you back in August. I had my m/c (decided to do it naturally) 1 week before my Disney trip - you should be fine for your travels. I had to wait a full cycle before trying again - but it was a much needed break. (I'm in my 1st 2WW since... it's a little scary knowing what's happened last time... but trying to be optimistic!). You've got support here!!!!

So sorry guys...
