Ok so still no AF. I am 12-13 DPO today and I tested with a drugstrore brand test. It was BFN. Of course yesterday and today I have nausea. This is torture and I am stressing. lol. If she is going to come I wish she would just come already. Maybe some BDing or a long walk will get her started if she is coming. It would certainly get my mind off things.

Good luck to everyone. I hope we start seeing some BFPs real soon.

Im out. AF showed herself this morning. I am crushed. I will forget about it tomorrow while cruising down the slopes.

Sorry to hear that, Lydiah. I'm pretty sure I'll be joining you soon, but it will be nice to be out of limbo at least.

Weekend Check-In

Name: Hesperia

Date: February 5th, 2010

Where are you in your cycle: Cycle day 29, 10dpo (LP of 14-15). Last Quarter of the moon.

Symptoms if they apply: A few. Mainly cramps, nausea this past week, but better in the last 2-3 days. Tender breasts. Normally my skin is a mess, but it is very clear still (for me).

When are you thinking of testing: Secretly, I tested yesterday after being super hydrated all day long. Negative. I'm going to wait until at least Thursday the 11th, 15dpo if AF is still away.

Thoughts: Many! I was sure I felt pregnant. I was very confident. Lost that in the last few days, as these cramps are slowly turning from unknowing feeling to AF type cramps. They've been painful since 5dpo.

Appointments: Nothing.

Any new regimes, ie herbs, medications, mantras etc: Nothing new, nope.

Do you have any stress triggers: Getting pregnant? haha. We've been plotting our next year, which relies greatly when I get my BFP, so I'm a bit stressed and impatient.

What is working to help you be stress-free this cycle: Nothing really. I'm positive and happy, but a touch stressed. I'm okay with that.

Partners feelings if applicable: He is anxiously awaiting when we will know and asking more details about my cycle.

Where are you in your cycle: Cycle day 17 (possibly O day )

Symptoms if they apply: Not much at all I had some cramping yesterday which may be O pains, who knows?

When are you thinking of testing: Not even a thought process yet

Thoughts: Wow, not sure where to begin. I'm really really excited b/c I started Maca this cycle and it has changed things ALOT, heck, I'm probably going to O today or tomorrow and I haven't O'd before cd20 in MONTHS! Not since the first two months of us trying! My cm is really abundant and I just feel better on it so I'm really excited to see if Maca is our trick to conceive.
My husband is still hurting really bad and in a wheelchair, but got a wild hair up his bum and decided to dtd last night Granted he was pretty heavily medicated and it was just me helping him along and then getting on top at the last moment, but I'm still hopeful that there is a possibility of pregnancy this cycle. A few things working against us though is that we haven't bd in over a month so it was pretty watered down, and I've read some things on how morphine effects sperm and am a bit worried (decreased morphology, low count and apparently it effects the ability of the sperm to penetrate the egg). His urology appt should be some time next week so hopefully we can see what is going on with the boys then.

Appointments: Physical Therapy. I threw my back out last week lifting my hubbies wheelchair and am on the road to recovery.

Any new regimes, ie herbs, medications, mantras etc: Taking two capsules of Maca in the morning and prenatals. I've taken Maca pretty spottily on other cycles but it always gave me a headache so I stopped. I got a different brand and I'm not sure if it is cleaner or what, but it is wonderful

Do you have any stress triggers: My hubby not injuring himself any further and the VA not getting back to us in time for him to get the surgery before he is stuck in the wheelchair permanently. I was pretty stressed about school as well, but I dropped down to half time and am feeling pretty confident about it now.

What is working to help you be stress-free this cycle: Honestly, dropping down to half time in school helped alot. That and I finally let loose and drank a few last night

Partners feelings if applicable: He is kinda depressed, he knows I want a baby really bad and he wants one as well and he feels like he is holding up the whole process. I keep on telling him I have fifteen plus years of being fertile and not to worry, that his health is what is important right now. He is still trying to push himself to help things along though...

Weekend Check-In

Name: Karmab

Where are you in your cycle: cd1 can you move me to waiting to o?

Symptoms if they apply: --
When are you thinking of testing: --

Thoughts: Aunt Flo came by yesterday, but that is ok. I am feeling good and psyched for cycle #2. I learned a lot this cycle, figured out a few things and I am really ready to maximize the potential this time, armed with my new expanded knowledge of fun things like cm and cp and might even throw in an opk this time! After being on bc for so long and not having af in 3-plus years, I'm relieved that I ovulated for one, and that my endometrium is coming back strong already!

Appointments: None scheduled, but I did leave a message for my doc on Friday (she had left already) because the only down side is, I had a 7 day LP! This is the problem that led me to go on bc in the first place. I was hoping somehow it would have magically gone away as mysteriously as it initially appeared after DD was weaned, but sadly, it is back.

Any new regimes, ie herbs, medications, mantras etc: Today I started 50 mg B6 in addition to my PNV. I am going to talk with doc about using progesterone supps or cream after o.

Do you have any stress triggers: At the moment, I feel low stress. Yesterday, not so much. Woke up with a big temp drop and a headache. Held my breath all day that it would turn out to be implantation dip, but no such luck. Had thoughts all day yesterday like, why didn't we start trying 2 years ago, or I should have had the iud taken out 6 months ago so I could have gotten my cycles on track and be ready now to go for it. I was feeling like maybe I've hurt my chances. But like someone very wise once told me- you wouldn't kick a friend if she were down, don't do it to yourself!

What is working to help you be stress-free this cycle: I keep hearing in my head something I read in someone's signature- something like, what will be already is. Whatever is meant to be, whether it is what we want or not what we want, will be. But whatever happens, I will remember always that I have an amazing DH who loves me with all his heart and who I absolutely cherish, and I have to thank God for him and for my family everyday.

Partners feelings if applicable: He is eager to do his part with renewed vigor this cycle.

Are you ready for me to move you back into the trying section?

Actually, why don't we wait till we get the SA results back hopefully next week. If they are really bad we probably won't try again till after his surgery and he is recovered so we can try to get his count back up if it is an issue. If his sperm is fine then we'll keep on trying as best we can and see what happens.

You can add my chart though if you want:

Happy Monday Everyone!

I cannot believe I am at 13dpo...I guess in the pains of waiting and spotting, I forgot to notice how I'm at the end (my LP is 14-15) of this cycle, I'm either pregnant or not. It kind of just blew my mind.

I've had a few rough days, no tears (okay, a few), just feeling one second very pregnant and the next dishearten and low.

Time will tell, and in my case, only a day or two left of this pins and needles.
