Fertil Focus

Hmm, well as of right now, I am a little unsure about the Fertile Focus Ovulation Monitor. I am not making up my mind yet of course, I will give it a fair chance first.

Yesterday I had horrid ovulation pains, to the point where I hurt to walk, sit, lay down, bend over...anything and everything. Them to top it off, my boobs started to hurt too, which I never get unless it is close to wonderful period time again. A friend on Fertility Friend told me I should go do a opk test just to see...which I posted yesterday and was positive. I did have slight temp rise today, but it is much too soon to know if it will stay elevated or not, so if I was to sit back and look at all the signs, I would say I was ovulating, or about to. However, when i did the Fertile Focus test yesterday morning, I only had a tiny bit of ferning pattern, and I tested again last night, and it was completely negative. What the heck??? I didn't think it was that hard of a test, put a bit of saliva on the little microscope, let it dry then look at it. But I would think if I was ovulating or about to, I should see a full ferning pattern by now. Am I doing it wrong or something?

Today's OPK

So, I am only on cd 11 today but having nasty ovulation pains most of the day. Usually I only get nasty ones nthe day of ovulation,and sometimes some slight little ones before, but never like this! I used my fertil focus monito this morning and it gave me partial ferning pattern. I never dd opk tet because I thouht itwould be a waste....but then i broke down to the peeing on astick urge...or in my case, dipping the stick in the little pee cup. The results.....

So now I don't know, do these look opk+ to you ladies?

FertileCM

Hello ladies of the TTC world. Although I have not finished my cycle yet to give a full review of the FertilCM I am now taking, I just wanted to give everyone a quick update on how things are going so far. Now normally I don't have very much CM at all before or during ovulation, infact I had ordered some pre-seed to try and help that problem out a bit. Well I am on cd 11 now and have been taking the FertilCM that I got from Fairhaven Health for a little over a week now, and I just can not believe the results already.

Already I have tons of CM, yes maybe that is TMI, but for all you ladies who have the same problem that I did with lack ofCM, this stuff really does work!!! I recommend it to anyone who needs a little help in the CM area.

3 column blogging pages

I am just wondering where/how I would get one of the 3 column blogging pages? Anyone know and can help me please. I have tried changing my page to a layout that says 3 column on it, but it always comes up as 2 columns still and then cuts off the sides of my page....HELP PLEASE!!!

Been a while

CD 11 now, the past couple weeks have been filled with craziness, so the first 1 1/2 weeks have flown by.

First hubby and I went back home to Ontario and hit a huge buck on the way, which they now value the damage done to the car at around $5000 and are debating if they are going to fix it or write it off. Then I got a call I really wish I wouldn't have gotten...my best friends mom passed away from a massive heart attack, so I turned around, made the 5 hours trip back home to be with her for a few days. We went camping for a weekend and got rained on right until we had to pack up to leave. Go figure!!! We did have a good time though, and I met some great people who are friends of my sister-in-law and my hubby. But then after camping and we came home, we got the news that my hubby's 2 uncles who have been in the hospital for a while now both took a turn for the worse. One passed away last night, and we think the other will still have a while here before he passes away, though I guess you never really know what will happen.

So ya, it's been crazy and really busy and the days/evenings we do have some free time, it is cold and raining out so we sit and do nothing and try to relax a bit. Hopefully with keeping busy, I won't obsess over TTC and maybe this month will go by a bit faster and even better would be to get a BFP at the end of my cycle. FX that this is our month.

Big Fat Evap Lines

So, as per doctors orders, I tested today. I love having the excuse of having doctors orders to test now...well to a point, but at least it gives me a excuse to feed my pee-on-a-stick addiction. I told myself I wasn't going to test today so I could avoid the disappointment all over again, but gave in. Not paying attention as I reached into my box of goodies and tests, I grabbed a stick to pee on and did the test, and to my disbelief, 2 lines appeared. Not a dark and a light little faint line, but 2 blaring dark ones. I was in shock and over joyed, and then seen green. Well wait a minute now, what I had here was a ovulation test, not a pregnancy test. My heart sank.

I then remembered that someone once told me that you could use a ovulation test to test for pregnancy if your hcg level was high enough, so I thought maybe, just maybe I should try a pregnancy test now. I used a cheapie, and NOTHING. Not really a surprise of shock though. A couple hours later I happened to leave the test on the counter an looked again...a little line...could it be? Could I be getting a late +hpt??? So, I took another test, this time I used a good one. BIG FAT NEGATIVE!!!! Stupid evap lines. I guess it is all in a days work of being a TTC'er.

AF Should be here

Well, wonderful Aunt Flow should be here tomorrow. I am on CD 28, and 14 dpo with nothing but BIG FAT NEGATIVES. So now instead of starting another cycle tomorrow like I should be, I still have to take these progesterone pills for 2 more nights, and then wait 2-3 days for Aunt Flow to come knocking at my door step. 4-5 more days, are you kidding me? All it is, is 4-5 more days that will remind me that I am one again NOT PREGNANT.

The worse part is, I will sill get up and test every one of those mornings just to make sure since you can never fully give up hope until Aunt Flow does arrive, and because the fertility doctor told me that I should be testing now just to be sure of things, which will mean 4-5 more days of probably crying and being upset, wondering WHY we can't seem to get pregnant, and what we MUST be doing wrong to not be getting pregnant. I have never cried so much my whole life as what I do each time AF arrives...the joys of TTC and infertility.
