This is the short version:
Try" every other night starting Day 8
Buy 10 ovulation predictor kit sticks
Begin ovulation testing on Day 10
When test is positive, "try" that night, plus two additional nights in a row
Skip one night, then do one last "try"
Take a home pregnancy test 15 days after your ovulation test was positive, if your period has not begun
If your ovulation test never goes positive, continue "trying" every other night until Day 35, then do a pregnancy test if your period has not begun.
Had the appt. with my pcp and he did give me a referral to see a endo. Hope all goes well!! Good Luck to All******************** ↑
Phib-That's kind of what my doc told me and it worked. Good luck to you!!!!! I really believe in the starting day 8 as ovulation varies so much. And temping along with this would be perfect. L ↑
Phib-sounds like you'll be pregnant in no time. I like temping better because you go to fertility friend.com and you have this chart and it tells you when you're ovulating and then you can see the best time to bd. You can also compare from the month before so you can get an idea of your o cycle. It'll actually sometimes take away an o day because a few days later your temp might go really high then low and then that's your real o date. You can buy a basal thermometer at the drug store. Good luck!:)LEE ↑
Hi everyone. Plankg - i felt the first flutters about 14wks and felt proper kicks at about 18wks i think. He is doing some huge ones now that people have spotted from outside and i feel massive. I look 7 months, not 5 and a half! I hit 24wks this wkend and im sooo glad to have gotten this far. Im still waiting to b checked out by the doctors here, there is so much red tape and its driving m insane that no-ones checkd my baby yet. I just feel they are not taking it seriously. Ive got to wait until monday now just to find out when th appointments going to be. Its all very frustrating and upsetting but im trying to stay calm because hes kicking so much i know there cant be anything to wrong. Anyway, for all you ttc girls, i hope it ges well this month and i will be passing all my spare babydust on to you! x x x x x ↑
Hope all is Well with everyone!!! I had my appt. with a new gyno. who specializes in infertility.
My dh and I came out with a smile. Nothing was done, due to the fact, that I was ttcing this week. doc. suggest that if nothing happens this month we will start some testing. He mention many interesting things. One that I have never heard of was you shouldn't have intercourse in the first tri. b/c of the male sperm. It may cause women to miscarry. I do pray that things will come along not only for me.... for all of us!!! I hope that you all come back soon!!! Even if i have to write to myself..lololol baby dust****************************God Bless:) ↑
Hi Phib-glad you found a new doctor. Good luck!! I'm sure you'll be fine and temp temp temp! I'm feeling good at almost 17 weeks. I'll write more after my next u/s.How is everybody?? AMB, April baby, Bryandi?? ************Lee ↑
Hi ladies-wow-there are alot of new threads. How is everybody? I'm doing well. I had my 18 week visit and heard the heartbeat again. I go in again in a few weeks for the big u/s so I'm excited for that. I'm feeling good. Miss you allxoxo,Lee ↑
Hi plank, good to hear from you. I am 18 weeks now...isn't that amazing!!! I have my big ultrasound next Thursday. We are hoping the baby cooperates and give the sonographer a good look cause we really want to know what we are having! I have been feeling pretty good. How is everyone else doing? Any new BFP's? ↑
Hello!! Everyone I hope all is well...Bryandi Congrats! 18 weeks WOW!!! Let us know what you are having. As for myself I was able to see a specialist. He mentioned that i have a tilted uterus plus he checked my tubes and said they are fine.
Nothing really seems to be happening, though.
Still ttc. Any advice about tilted uterus? Doc. said not a major concern. hope to hear from you all.... ↑
Hey ladies, I know it been a very long time since I've posted but I have had you all in my thoughts and prayers. I feel like I have been to hell and back so much as happened in my life since I last posted. Firstly my uncle had some sort of lung disease and stopped breathing so ending up in intensive care. He died not too long after that he suffered too much brain damage while not breathing so didn’t make it. My father not too long after that ended up in a massive car accident he fell asleep at the wheel and was found inside his jeep upside down. He is getting much better now though, doctors say he lucky to be alive! I also ended up in an accident hurt my head and my stomach and couldn’t feel the baby moving anymore. So spent a while in maternity ward while they monitored the baby. I'm doing much better now and came out of hospital on Thursday. Everything that has happened recently has just really taken its toll on me but I’m doing much better and baby is well. He or she (I think it’s a he) is moving around regularly now and I'm 30 weeks and 2 days, can you believe it! MISSP and BRYANDI hi girls hope you guys are well. Have just posted you on the other site. PLANKLG congrats on your little girl, that’s great news! APRILBABY how are you doing honey, how have you been getting on? AMB hope your pregnancy’s going well, how far are you now? Hello & welcome to all the new girls. I am sorry that you have had to come on to thread like this but if its support you want its support you’ll get. Where are all the other ladies??? Anyway gonna try and find the thread before this and catch up. Take care and chat soon. xx ↑
Hi Girls,
Clauds-I'm so sorry to hear what you've been going through with your family. Now 3 wonderful things should happen. I'm glad to hear you and your baby are well. You're almost due!! I'm doing great at 22 weeks. I had my big 4d u/s and all was good except the doc couldn't see all of the baby's heart chambers so he had to refer me out to a specialist to make sure she didn't have a lil hole in her heart. I've been so anxious to find out and scared but I went today, and her heart is fine. The doc didn't see anything abnormal. My preggo friends were telling me that they had to see specialists too for other reasons because docs are pretty conservative. So I'm elated and back to being calm although I did learn that most lil holes close up around the time of birth so it's not that bad. Bryandi-great to hear you are well. How did your big u/s go? And Miss P luv how are you hun??? We would all love to hear from you and sending positive thoughts your way. That's all for
now, I'll check in soonxoxoxoxo,Lee:) ↑
Hi Lee glad to hear from you again! I am happy that the doctor didn't find anything wrong with your little ladies heart! I am doing well here at almost 20 weeks along. We found out that we are also having a little girl! I am very excited and we just painted the baby's room two nights ago. Now we are working on putting down laminate wood flooring. I can't wait till our home improvement projects are finally done! Phib, I am not sure what kinds of problems a tilted uterus would cause...I have heard about it before on these threads, but not enough information to impart to you. Good luck with TTC! ↑
Hi Bryandi, Yay- a little girl for you too. I'm naming her Mackenzie. What are you naming your little girl? What color are you painting the room? I'm sold on the Emily divinci crib in cherry and the carters love bug bedding. Ok ladies ttc, I feel a bfp coming soon on this thread. xoxxo ***********Lee ↑
Clauds – I am so sorry about your uncle and your dad’s car accident. Sorry also about your own accident. Wow you sure are going through a lot. I am glad after all of that you and baby are well. Lee I am glad to hear all is going well with you and you are 22 weeks that is great. I am glad you are back to being calm. Bryandi Congrats on having a girl and being 20 weeks in. That is great. Lee I love the name Mackenzie. Well ladies I want to also tell you that I got a BFP tonight this will be my 4th pg I sure hope this will stick. I will maybe get my April Baby after all. I will check in soon. Jenna ↑
Lee, I like your name!! We have painted the babies room a peachy pinky color and will be using the same bedding and theme from our dd. Once the baby is old enough to develop a taste for something on her own we will change to what she likes! We just laid a red oak laminate wood floor in the babies room and are working on getting the molding up around the floor and ceiling (we just finished a bedroom in the basement for ourselves and now are finishing the babies room right next to ours). We have a couple of names right now that we are considering. Ember Ivy and Maili (maylee). We haven't got a middle name for Maili yet, I think Ember is probably more likely going to be the name. Jenna congratulations on the BFP!!! I hope this is the one for you!! Keep us posted! Clauds, I haven't heard from you on this thread or the other we frequent since your last post. I hope everything ok with you! ↑
Jenna-yay-so happy for you. My doc put me on PRENATE right away helps with folic intake and has dha for baby. Good luck to you!!!!!!!!!!!
BTW-love the name Jenna. Bryandi how about Rose or Rae for the middle name? Do you feel lots of movement yet? Mine is like popcorn popping lol. Baby dust to all***************Where's MissP Hope she's well!!:)Lee ↑
Hey ladies, I’m just over 32 weeks now and I’ve gone back to work now for a few weeks but getting exhausted. My little one is so active now and it’s so hard to get comfortable. I started to get some period like pains as well not sure if they are Braxton hicks. PLANKLG thanks for your concern and comments. Glad all is well with your baby’s heart. So your coming up to the 3rd trimester now, wow time flies. BRYANDI I’m still here prodding along thanks for asking for me hun. How are you and your little girl doing? Have you started thinking about the birth yet? APRILBABY CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!- I’m so happy you’re pregnant again. I didn’t realise you had so many mc’s; you must be so strong to come through that and try again. I am routing for you this time, it would be great for you to get back your April baby after all! Check in and let us know how it’s going? Thinking of you! AMB how are you? Take care ladies. ↑
Hi Clauds,
Wow-you're almost there. When is your baby due? How are those cramps? Are they Braxton Hicks? I'm almost 24 weeks. I'm starting to feel her more now. My placenta is on top so doc says you feel less when placenta is high. April Baby-how are you?? AMB, Miss P Bryandi and other gals how are you?? Hope you're all doing well. xoxo,Lee ↑
Lee, my 3 year old's name is Tabitha Rose, so we have already used up the name Rose. Rae is definately a possibility. I have also been considering the idea of Tristin or Trista, but
haven't mentioned it to dh yet. I don't feel a ton of movement yet. Just a little here and there. At my 2nd trimester ultrasound the sonographer said that the placenta
was somewhat in between my belly and the baby so it is like the baby punching a pillow and muffles the sensation. Every day though it has been getting stronger. CLAUDS yay for 32 weeks! I bet you are
super exhausted. But your little bean will be here in no time! Have you thought of names for each gender yet? i will be 22 weeks on Tuesday! I can't wait. They say that they can keep a baby alive if born as
early as 22 weeks. Of course i want to wait much longer than that, but it is reassuring that if anything does happen we still have a chance! Every week that passes I am so thankful that bean and I made it. Well gotta
get to bed I am exhausted. ↑
Hey ladies, I'm 34 weeks plus now and I've still got a few weeks at work but I'm getting more and more uncomfortable and my back is killing me this week, it feels like my baby is really low down, pressing down and moving alot, feels like he is resting on my bone at the very bottom of my stomach. My bone is really aching me, my mum thinks my baby is engaged because she said my stomach has dropped. PLANKLG I'm due on the 26 Sep. Wow cant believe your at 24 weeks, I didnt get much movement either until after 24 weeks, i think my placenta was in the same place. Not sure if the cramps are bh as this is my first pg. Great to hear from you hun! BRYANDI your right I'm so exhausted. We have thought of names but keep changing our minds we liked Cameron but found out it meant bent nose! Dh now likes Tyrel for a boy and for a girl Chante or Maya. What do you think? Wow 22 weeks that is exactly how I felt when I reached those stages i was like at least my baby has a chance of survival. Thanks to hear form you. Where are you other ladies, hope your all well, please check in soon. Take care! ↑
Clauds - yay for 34 weeks! When is your next appt? you might want to ask
if the baby is engaged. I have only had c-sections so I am unsure about how natural labor
goes, but it sounds to me like maybe something that should be checked on. September 26th is the big day huh?
That sounds sooo close! (especially to me who has a huge work deadline september 15th and I am already starting to get nervous
about getting everything done in time) I like the name Cameron too! I totally did not know it means bent nose. How awful. I really like
Maya. That is a cute name. I tried to use it for our little girl, but dh is not a fan at all. Lee how are you doing? Everyone else what's going on? ↑
Hello Everyone, Happy to hear from Bryandi, Cluads and planklg. How time has passed by so fast. Pretty soon you will be busy mommies with your precious babies. God Bless... As for myself
Doc. Put me on Clomid 5-9. last month was my first round. I don't think I am prego. this month. Af should come sometime the end of this week. Bryandi I know that you were on clomid any advice? Also, I tired temping I don't think bh and I were doing it right. Is Fertility Friend website free?
When I try going on, it doesn't direct me to the calendar chart. Need help with that. thanks Good luck to all ↑
Hi ladies,
Bryandi-so funny I thought the same thing about 22 weeks about yay at least baby has chance to survive. I'll be 26 weeks this Sat. and I'm feeling little Mackenzie Rose kicking more. The movements are light and fluttery and I feel her most at night time. I hope Miss P is doing good. I miss her. Phib-Hi hun-nice to hear from you. Fertility friend is free for basic service and you need to register and then you can e-mail support for help. I highly recommend it. Clauds girl you're almost there! What is engaged? Lots of love to all of you,Lee ↑
phib - my doc put me on Clomid for my DS. The first cycle I did not get pg, but the second cycle I did. I have heard
that it is typical that you do not get pg the first cycle as your body has to adjust to it. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
I can't help you with fertility friend because I have never temped before. It seems like too much work for me. DH and I just bd a lot
and that seemed to work pretty well. I only had a tough time getting pg with DS the other times I got pg easy but they just didn't stick (except for dd)
So hopefully the Clomid will do the trick for you too phib! plank congrats on the 26 weeks! I love the name of your little lady. Very nice! 26 weeks sounds awesome to me.
Mostly because it is so close to 30 weeks and I feel like once I hit 30 weeks it is almost over! Miss P is doing well. She is home with her family and her dh and living with her mum & dad.
She is very exhausted and uncomfortable, but has made it past 30 weeks (which the docs were positive she would not do at first) and just might make it full term. I have to do the glucose test next mth. ICK!
Talk to you all later~! ↑
Hello!! Hope everyone is doing fabulous and feeling fabulous!!! Just want to update.. Well I thought this was the month.. I didn't have AF on schedule so I thought. I tested twice and both came back negative. She then decided to show up 4 days later. Bryandi did the clomid delay your cycle? I will be ttc this month wish me luck!!! thanks would like to start new thread #8 Would like to hear from you all!!! ↑
Phib, sorry about AF. Oh and yes the Clomid did delay my cycle. I thought for sure I was pregnant the first cycle on it because AF was late. But the pg tests were negative and she did show. I hope you have a better month this month. I am doing well. Little Ember Madison (finally settled on a middle name) is moving around more now which helps keep me relaxed because I can feel her and know she is doing ok. We got a chocolate lab puppy 2 weeks ago that we named Clover. She is very laid back and is a great addition to the family. Potty training was she started going all over in the house and going outside to try to pee but nothing would come out. We found out she had puppy vaginitis and she has been on medication for 6 days now and has had no accidents at all the last two. So things are looking up in that aspect. After she is housebroken and trained up it will be time to start potty training DS. All of this and a new baby soon. Phew I am tired just thinking about it. Lee how are you doing? Feeling good still? How is everyone else doing? ↑
Hi girls,
Checking in at 28 weeks. Yay-I'm in the 3rd trimester and feeling good. Feeling Mackenzie kick and flutter around more. I can't wait to meet her! I have rib pain on the right because I'm carrying high but I get relief from prenatal yoga. Phib-I've heard alot of success stories with Clomid so good luck to you and I hope it happens for you soon! Bryandi hun, how are you? I love choc labs. Good dog for babies too. I took my glucose and doc said she'd call if any issues, so, so far so good. How is everybody else?? Baby dust************************Lee:0) ↑
Lee, my glucose is next Monday. Then that is it for milestones in the pregnancy
until the delivery date. I am "carrying" right in the middle....I say it in quotes like that
because my belly does look to be right in the middle, but Ember is very very low. I only can feel her
moving right around my pelvic bone. At the last appt. the doctor had to move the stethoscope
down 2 inches because the baby was lower than what she had expected her to be. She doesn't seem to want to move up.
I bet she stays right there till delivery. All my kids are stubborn so it is no surprise that this one would be too!
Glad to hear you are doing well in the 28th week! YOu are getting close! I always think of 30 weeks as being the home stretch and you
only have two weeks till your there! I have 4 weeks left till I am there. PHib hows things going? What cycle day are you on now? Good luck
this cycle. I will send all my extra baby dust to you! ↑
Hey ladies, I’m 37wks and 4 days and can’t wait until its over now. They say with the first birth it will probably be late but I'm hoping not! Really hope I get to do this naturally and not have to go through a c-section I hate operations. Last appointment was ok apart from them saying protein was in my urine so to drink plenty of fluids, look out other symptoms and they will check again at my next app next week wed, which I hope will be the last one! BRYANDI I really don’t know what to do with names it will probably be Maya for a girl and Tyrel for a boy but I’m still not sure. I’m hoping it will come to me when I see our baby. PHIB1 sorry it didn’t work out last month hun. How it is going now? PLANKLG wow 28 weeks congratulations! You must be so excited! APRILBABY and AMB how are you both? Check in, it would be nice to hear from you. Hope everyone else is ok. Take care ladies. ↑
