Im so sorry :-(

Servilia · #84 January 8th, 2010, 08:09 AM

Thanks guys for your support.

And i'm sorry about your BFN too Ashley!! When are you testing again?

♥Ashley♥ · #85 January 8th, 2010, 08:18 AM

10DPO is still pretty early and your chart looks great! So dont give up hope yet!!! GL!

KennasMama · #86 January 8th, 2010, 08:26 AM

So sorry, Judy. But I agree, it could easily still be too early. Especially if your temps are still up. Still got everything crossed for you. When do you think you'll test again? BFP dust!!

It's still early!!!!! When do you think you'll test again?!

Servilia · #88 January 8th, 2010, 03:45 PM

Thanks guys.. I don't know when to test again! Once I have the tests in my grubby paws I can't help but use up every single FMU on a test!! So probably tomorrow..

I don't have much hope for this cycle. The thing is I had hardly any watery CM and NO EWCM.. so his swimmers probably died off pretty quickly. I think I dried myself out by drinking too much grapefruit juice. It was supposed to help with EWCM but I think I overdid it.. and apparently too much vitamin C can dry you up. So for next cycle, if there is one, I'm going to take EPO from CD 1 until ovulation to see if it helps with EWCM.

By the way I had some nasty throbbing cramps again, only lasting a few minutes in total.

amonstersmomma · #89 January 8th, 2010, 04:34 PM

Don't get too discouraged by having little to no CM. I barely had any CM this cycle and only had a tiny tiny bit of EWCM. So it's still possible!

Servilia · #90 January 8th, 2010, 04:45 PM

I know Dawn, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to try something that might help in the future in case I don't get my BFP this cycle

Thanks for the encouragement, I haven't really lost ALL hope but I'm just not "feeling" it, KWIM? Or maybe I just don't want to get my hopes up.

I asked DH if he thinks about it at all.. he says not unless I mention it. I'm actually happy about that because although I know he wants a baby, it's nice not to feel the pressure of thinking he's disappointed too..

ps this site is turning me into one lazy wife.. I get home before DH EVERY single night and instead of cooking in time for his arrival I'm always on here right after work

amonstersmomma · #91 January 8th, 2010, 04:50 PM

Definitely understand that. Have you tried Robitussin? Some ladies on here suggested it a few times. I'm still hoping you get that BFP though!

Servilia · #92 January 8th, 2010, 05:46 PM

Dawn yeah thanks for reminding me about the Robitussin, I meant to try that too!

So I just finished cooking dinner and suddenly I'm feeling dizzy - I heard that's a sign! I've never felt dizzy before.. at least not before a bottle of wine

ashnichole2326 · #93 January 8th, 2010, 05:49 PM

Hmmmm...I know a LOT of women on JM say that the robitussin really works. It's worth a try...I also heard grapefruit juice helps

.

TTC is VERY stressful at times...but I think I was MORE stressed in the beginning than I am now, if that means anything....you'll have ups and downs along the way...that's all I can say. I think I get more sad as time goes by, but I am not quite as anxious, and don't get as worked up.

I really hope this is it for you though, I hate to see ppl struggle for too long.

Servilia · #94 January 9th, 2010, 07:06 AM

Thanks Ashley.. yes it is stressful. But what bothers me most is that since TTC, I think about it every single day and ALL day.. like whenever I go to the bathroom I pay attention to CM, I notice every single pregnant woman now (thankfully I'm not at the point of feeling jealous), and after DTD I'm concentrating on keeping it in (sorry TMI). It's always on my mind.

I'm sorry you're feeling sad, I wish noone had to feel like that about TTC!

This morning, taking my temp was such a pain. Unfortunately it's still dark when I take my temp (6:15 am) so I usually take my temp and when it beeps I grab my blackberry and shine the screen light on my BBT to read it. I THINK it read 36.67 but I wasn't sure so I took it again right away.. the second time it read 36.61, and the THIRD time it read 36.58. These were taken in quick succession so basically at the same time. I ended up entering the first number but I'm not POSITIVE it was 36.67 - it might have been 36.61 because those numbers look similar. OH well.. even if I entered 36.61 it's not a temp dip.
So it's good it didn't dip, but my LP is 14 days and actually last cycle, 11DPO was my highest temp and I obviously didn't get preggers.. so who knows, it doesn't really mean anything great that it didn't dip cause it could tomorrow.

I haven't tested again yet this morning.. I will though, I'm holding it in!

Servilia · #95 January 9th, 2010, 08:47 AM

I tested again and nothing too exciting to report.. BFN again. I should just stop testing and wait for AF to come. I had some pretty bad cramps the last few days but Af is not due until Wednesday. I really hope this doesn't become a regular thing - to cramp for a week in advance. Blech..

ashnichole2326 · #96 January 9th, 2010, 09:55 AM

your chart still looks good

amonstersmomma · #97 January 9th, 2010, 12:51 PM

=( I agree your chart is still looking fabulous!!

chrisam143 · #98 January 9th, 2010, 02:09 PM

Sorry about the BFN, but as others said your chart does look good, your temp is still up.

By the way I also have to use my phone as a light in the morning to read the text and sometimes its difficult to read.

I haven't tried Robbintistin, but I did try muxinex last month, which is suppose to help as well. I didn't really notice a difference, so this month I'm gonna try EPO as well.
