thoughts on CD 29

[in_His_hands]

Hi ladies,
Just getting a little bored waiting for this cycle to end. I had a temp jump this morning so it made me wonder about this cycle...I also don't have any of my usual pre-AF stuff (I usually have tender breasts 6-7 days before, am irritable, sometimes have cramps). I was wondering if anyone ever had this happen in early pg...no pg symptoms yet but a lack of PMS symptoms? I know I'm fishing here. :?

I just found out yesterday that one of my best friends and my accountability partner is pg. They've been trying about as long as we have, I think. I was amazed at the grace of God because I was mostly really happy and excited for her, and God is helping me so much to be content where He has me right now. I actually prayed that she would get pg before I did because they've been married longer and had a really hard time TTC. So I'm very thankful, though it does still hurt some. Brings up questions in my mind like, "What's wrong with us? Why would God allow them to be parents and not us? Are we not ready yet?" And that's so self-centered and I really just have to pray and remember that God's sovereign plan is best, even when I can't understand it.

May He bless you today!

Don't know much about the TTC journey, as I have gotten pregnant twice right away.

But - I do want to let you know I've been praying for you and will continue to do so.

Hoping this month is the one for your BFP!

It's a struggle isn't it?! But you have such a great spirit about your situation, and though we're all human and have those same questions, God is good and in control! :)

When I got pregnant with Abby, I didn't even realize I was a week late. I usually have bad cramping, diarreah, at least 2 pimples, moodiness, and bloating. I didn't get any of that, because when I do it reminds me that I may be starting so and need to check if I have enough fem products. So with my first and only BFP I had no symptoms at all, except fatique. But I feel tired a lot anyhow. Nothing new!

Sending you a prayer sprinkled with babydust!

Same here...we weren't TTC but I looked at the calendar and realized I on day 33 on my cycle and still no AF!! I didn't have any preg signs or pms signs. Hoping you get a bfp

Your Chart looks beautiful so far! Praying that this might be your month too, Keep us posted and just keep looking and praying to God.

Just an update...it's CD 31 (longest cycle since my first off BCP), and my temp was still up this AM. 13 DPO. Lately I've only gone 10 or 11 days in the LP. So I've been really excited and nervous all day. This evening I started light pink spotting so I think AF is on her way tomorrow. We'll see. The Lord is so kind to me. He's just been reminding me of His love--especially through my DH, who is very understanding of how emotional it is for me. I'm trying to hang on and trust Him. He knows exactly what's going on, even if I don't.
Thanks for your kind replies!

What a wonderful, supportive husband you have been blessed with! We're TTC our first too, and I know it can be a real emotional rollercoaster... Praying for you, and wishing you blessings in every area of your life! [amen]

[4HisGlory]

Continue to pray for your bfp, wether this month or not. Let us know if AF shows up tomorrow...if not, it could be implatation bleeding! Praying AF won't show for 9 months!

[in_His_hands]

No AF yet...so this is my question: How can your LP be 10 days one month, 14 the next? In TCOYF it says that the LP only varies by a day or so from one cycle to the next--that if you're "late" and then have a normal AF it means you O'd later than you thought. In this case I don't have any doubt about when I O'd, so I'm just confused. Cause I got a BFN this morning. :(

[savedbygrace]

How late are you? I'd go get a blood test done. It is possible that you had a false BFN. My friend was pregnant for 2 Months. She took 4 tests all BFN. Went in for a blood test and got a BFP. She was already 2 months along.

[4HisGlory]

So implatitional bleeding happens 7-10 days after O, and if you are 14dpo the bleeding might not have been implatational...but then again where is AF??? I know you said you know when you O, but if your a day or so off it could be implational...TCOYF says that you won't get a bfp that soon after implantation bleeding. ok...enough guessing, here is what we do know, your temps are still high and that is a great thing! 18 dpo if your temps are still high you can assume it is a bfp! so just keep temping and keep us updated. Praying this is it and you just tested too soon, or your hormones aren't high enough to get a bfp. I say at this time just act as if your pregnant and take it easy and take those vitamins,

I was rudely awakened by AF at 3am this morning :( The last two days have been very rough. Last night I went to a party hosted by a friend from church. There was another girl there from church who is fairly new and I'm still getting to know her. They're in our small group now. Anyway I went over and said, "Hi, how are you doing?" Her reply was, "Good....pregnant." Of course I hugged her and was really excited for her and her husband because I know they've had a long hard road--two miscarriages, one of which was twins and she had to stay in the hospital for a month for reconstructive surgeries. But she also knows that we've been TTC for over a year and I was kind of surprised that she couldn't find a more gentle way to tell me. So that made last night extra hard. I was still wondering at that point if I could be pg because I'd just had the slightest bit of spotting in the morning and nothing for 10 hours after that. But it was not in God's plan for this cycle. I was really heartbroken this time because I'd let myself get my hopes up so high. It really hurts. I lay in bed awake for an hour or two feeling like I'd been tortured for no reason. Then God gently reminded me of the truth--again. He is good, He ordains both our joys and trials, and He does nothing without a purpose. I just pray He can receive glory somehow through this time in our life.
Thank you for your encouraging words and prayers!

Sorry you had a let down...and a hard evening...I remember when I was on the fertility highway/rollercoaster for two years...everywhere I looked I swear I saw pregnant people! It's like you're a magnet for them and it's soooo hard! Prayers.

[savedbygrace]

[crysad] O friend, I'm crying with you. I know how you feel. Just last month I had that same thing of being so hopeful and then Af came. It is painful and discouraging. It's almost like when you trip and fall but don't have enough time to brace yourself. But thankfully our Heavenly Father can heal all wounds and all pains. I pray that He will wrap His loving arms around you and just hold you there!
(((Hugs))) to you.

I'm gonna look into the OV Watch. I think it just might work. But we'll see.
