Hi FeliChica!
I bought the fertilaid for my husband on Amazon. It's about $30 for a bottle. Bottle lasts a month. One thing that sucks is they need to take 3 pills per day which my hubby is not great at. But, I've read great things about them! Good luck!

Hi DDsMom ,

I'm thankful to have a familiar friend around to share this TWW with How are you this cycle? How was your BD timing? How are u feeling since?

this is our month, girl

Hi ladies. I'm so emotional and depressed today. I could be anywhere near 10-12 dpo. I could not have ovulated at all. I got a bunch of positive OPKs, but in two different places, so I have no clue. My temps are all over the place, but at least now ahve been climbing, so I think I might have ovulated - but have no clue when.

Yesterday and today, BFNs on tests, but not surprised. The trick is when is AF going to show. If I have a normal cycle, it'll be here in two days, but if I ovulated late or not at all, we could be looking at another whole week.

I'm so sick of all of this. I've tried "not" to care or to try, but I still do. And I miss my baby. If he had lived, he'd be 16 months old and toddling around right now. I keep having dreams of him. Sorry. Feeling sorry for myself today.

Hi ELGtrying,

BD timing was great, and my O date moved way forward, and other than a few days before O I haven't had any spotting so I'm feeling really optimistic about this cycle. So far I've just had my usual post-O symptoms, except for some nausea last night, but my older kids just went through a stomach bug so it's most likely due to that. I *did* have a very vivid dream that I had a baby boy on the night that I O'd, I'm trying not to read into that too much!
How are you doing? Have your temps come back up? Fingers crossed for you!!

calvingirl,

I'm so, so sorry for your loss. My story cannot cannot compare to yours but I'm also TTC a rainbow and I know it just makes the longing for that BFP so much worse. And having to deal with irregular cycles and not knowing when or if you O'd on top of it is the pits. Big hugs to you!!

Hey Ladies,

Thought I would join in as well - congratulations Danielle, that is so exciting - you must be on top of the world right now! I hope we get a lot more stories like that before this month is over.

I'm on cd 9 doing injectible Gonal FSH and IUI - my first one. I'm guessing my IUI will be Sunday the 30th.

I'm not expecting the first one to work but trying to think positively when I can...

Thanks everyone, the pregnancy symptoms are now settling in. Dizziness and nausea and food aversions!

Calvingirl: I'm so sorry you're feeling that way :(. It's hard to stay positive sometimes but you will get through it. I had a weird cycle too and wasn't sure if I ovulated either! But then AF was late and I didn't get my bfp until 5 days after it was due! So anything can happen!

Hey everyone sorry I have been MIA - been away on holiday for a week.

I am 10dpo and not feeling very optimistic this cycle. no change from previous cycles only I have no cramping which is unusual for me I usually get it about a week before AF - but who knows I try not to read to much into things as it normally doesn't mean anything.

Calvingirl - I am sorry to hear you are feeling down and I can't even imagine what you must be feeling about the loss of your baby boy. But you are always in my thoughts and I am always rooting for you xx

to us all.

Thank you for letting me wallow a bit, Ladies. I'm in a better place today. Probably because I woke up to a huge temp spike. Still BFNs, but this site is guessing my ovulation day to be when I got the second positive on the OPK, even though it wasn't as strong. I'm still thinking it was at a temp low after my first set of positive OPKs. I had EWCM both times, and we BD'd both times, so at least I'm covered either way. It's just the difference of being 10 dpo or 7 dpo....or if I ovulated when I should have, 12-24 hrs after my first positive OPK, then I'd be 14 dpo...it's all crazy. I have the chart on my profile if you want to look.

Anyway, AF is due Saturday so maybe I'll get lucky like Danielle and AF will be late... I'm definitely getting symptoms, but that could be PMS. Weepy, smells are really strong and bothering me already. My heart rate is up, like I'm having an anxiety attack all the time. Like around 115...all the time. Here's hoping there is a good reason and not just some reaction to the Vitex.

Gemma - I'm rooting for you too! It's been a long road, hasn't it?

Violet - good luck! Hopefully you'll only have to do it once!

DDsmom - the dreams get me every time. I always have vivid dreams during my LP, and most of the time, babies are in them. :)

Hope to see some BFPs soon...Danielle is waiting for some pregnancy buddies! I had a really good experience last time on the Countdownmypregnancy.com site, but you really have to find a group to bond with. I was due in June, but the June group was not very active. Ended up joining the July 2015 group and we had a blast together.

So after some big temp shifts, I think I actually ovulated later than I originally thought so i might only be 5 dpo today... My Fertility Friend app thinks I'm 9 dpo, but looking at my temperatures, I don't think that's right...
Pretty sure my symptoms are just LP symptoms but I'm super bloated, getting hot flashes all the time and feeling crazy emotional. I know it's too early to really feel anything, but I'm always hopeful that I'm having symptoms because it's our month. Fingers crossed, trying to be patient...

Calvingirl - glad you're doing a bit better today. And I'm so sorry for your loss- Hopefully we will be blessed with our rainbow babies soon.

Danielle - CONGRATS!! Super excited for you!!

Calvingirl, and everyone else on this thread, I have to tell you that I went through iui three years ago (five times of it!) and on the fifth time I didn't get my BFP until 5 days after my period was due. I just want to share that because we so often get depressed when we see a negative at day 12, 13 and 14, but for so many people, it has been later than that!!

Hope that helps keep hope alive:):)
