The Official TTC Thread!

[dcgator]

Hello ladies,

Thank goodness that we are almost through hump day. This week seems like its going on forever! At least we keep having good news on here to get us through the weeks

Lynnie: Yeah, that date would be pretty cool. We''ll see though...

Charbie: I love your new song lyrics, I think you might be right about that!

I almost forgot that you kicked off this super charged month of BFP''s. With you and the 3 L''s, we are already at 4. I think that January was the record 5 BFP''s. Maybe we can beat it this month?

Steal: No worries about the TMI, there is no such thing on here

. To funny about your March timeline, my DH and I said the same thing. But I guess we just got antsy

Sounds like you are in the clear though for the non-2010 baby. No pressure to jump on the list, we will be here when you wanna jump in.

Houie: The waiting indeed sucks. I know its not easy, but try to keep your mind off it. Go to the mall, read a book, go to a movie, anything to keep your away from the sticks...step away from the stick, lol. Hang in there my dear. Just a couple more days! I am sending you all my happy thoughts,

Miscka: You got it!

As for me, I am about 4DPO and hoping that I get some good news next week.

Good luck to the rest of your ladies in the 2WW and those starting your BD''ing marathon.

 

[Kunzite]

Congrats Lynnie!!

 

[LaurenThePartier]

Wow, just a huge congrats to Lanie and Lynnie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Miscka]

Wow this thread is insane!!! LYNNIE, a HUGE congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!


K, now I feel like HOU and dcgator can carry the streak!

Bliss, hope you are ok lady, we miss yoU!

 

[Lynnie]

Krissie, Charbie, HMG, Ryan, lili, Icekid, Lanie, Bella, brightlight, Kunzite, LTP, Miscka... Huge thank you''s to ALL of you!!

DH is still in the dark... I feel bad, but at the same time, I know it''ll be worth it in the end. I''d rather be able to spend the day with him once he knows, anyway. "Hey, I''m pregnant, but can''t celebrate ''cause I have work" just doesn''t do it for me, yanno?

I agree, HOU and DC need to carry the streak!!! Best of luck to you all!!!

As far as symptoms.... I''m tired, but it''s hard to gauge if I''m more tired than usual, because I work nights, and the back & forth schedules make me tired to begin with. BBs sore, but nips are fine. Lanie, I am having some of that stretching going on, too. It''s def a weird feeling... kinda like if you were to lay on your stomach and grab your feet with your arms behind you to stretch out your abdomen. I was reeeallly thirsty last night, and thus, peeing a lot. I weigh 3 lbs more than last month, but I feel like it''s a ''bloat'' type of weight.

Scavenger hunt is planned for Sat morning. It''s fun thinking up the clues.

THANKS AGAIN, to everyone, and lots ''o O and baby dust to you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Krissie]

I'm CD 20 and FF confirmed that I'm 3 DPO today. Hooray! So proud of myself for ovulating!

 

[Lanie]

Yay krissie!!! It''s a great feeling to know you are in the running!!! Lots of luck to you!

 

[HOUMedGal]

Lanie - agreed! We can compare bumps, hopefully!! hehe!

Dc - thanks for the suggestions! One good thing is that hubby and I are having a little weekend getaway...we''re going to stay at a cute little bed and breakfast in Brenham (where they make Blue Bell Ice Cream) tomorrow night and spend Saturday enjoying the wildflowers and doing local stuff...so that will be fun and should help get my mind off things! I''m sending happy thoughts to you, too!! FF adjusted my O date based on this morning''s temp, so I may be closer to you now (6 DPO today)...I''m still honestly not sure when I actually O''ed.

Miscka and Lynnie - hehe, I sure do hope dc and I can carry on the streak! That would be awesome!!!

Krissie - yaaaay for O!! Welcome to the TWW....and gooooooood luck!!

--------------------------------

So, interestingly, when I put this morning''s temp into FF, it changed my O day! Based on temps alone (I took my OPK results out of the system), FF NOW things I O''ed on CD 17. See below. I''m leaning toward thinking that CD is correct. That one OPK I had on CD 14 was just barely positive (as dark as the control) but then later on CD14 I had a negative and on CD 15 I had 2 negatives. THEN on CD 16 and CD 17, I had definite positives (darker than control line), so that would seem to me to indicated that the one on CD 14 was a false positive. Why, I''m not sure. But that''s the only thing I can think of that really makes sense!

I don''t really feel much in the way of symptoms today, bb''s still a touch sore but not as bad as they were. Hmph. I need to stop obessing over early preggo symptoms.

 

[Puppmom]

Hou, enjoy your weekend getaway! I like that temp spike today.

 

[Laila619]

I told ya you O'ed on CD 17!

Gorgeous chart, Hou! Looks like maybe an implantation dip on 3 DPO?

 

[Lanie]

HOU -- I love Brenham! What a fun little weekend trip! I havent'' done that with my hubs since the wedding...hmmm...you''ve got my wheels turning. When are you going to test with the moved O date now? That should make you feel better about getting that negative yesterday! (or was it day before?)

 

[HOUMedGal]

Pupp, thank you! Yeah, I was really glad to see my temp up this morning...hoping it stays where it is or goes even higher!!

Laila, yup, I think you were right! hehe!! Yeah, I guess that coulda been an implantation dip, but wouldn''t it be a bit early for implantation? Last time, I implanted on CD 8, I think...but I did have a definite dip below coverline last time!

Lanie, the wildflowers are suppose to beauuuutiful this year, so we''re excited about our little trip! Last weekend was the Bluebonnet Festival in Chappel Hill, so we missed that, but the flowers should still be pretty this weekend! As far as testing goes, I must admit I''ve already started. And I went to WalMart today and bought a bunch of tests to last me through my insane pee-a-thon. haha! Now that I''m apparently 6 DPO, maybe I''ll get some good news Sunday or Monday? I hope??!?!! I had my first faint BFP on DPO 8 or 9 last time (was hard to tell when I O''ed last time too). Yea, it does make me feel better about getting negatives so far. I took a blue dye test today (I know, they''re crappy) and thought if I really used my imagination maybe I could see the faintest hint of a line.....but it wasn''t even worth taking pictures of because it was truly a wishful-thinkin type thing, I think. We''ll see how the next few days go!!

 

[HOUMedGal]

Confession: So just now I was watching an old Tivo'ed episode of Brothers and Sisters (LOVE that show) where one of the characters has a miscarriage...and I bawled like a baby. Luckily DH is working late tonight and wasn't home to see it. LOL. Apparently I'm still not 100% over it, and I want a baby realllllllllllllllly bad. I guess I won't be completely over our loss until we have that perfect little baby in our arms. Man, how come no one ever told us all how hard this TTC journey can be? Whether it's losses, or having a hard time getting pregnant in the first place, so many of us have difficulties in one way or another.

So glad I have you ladies to share this journey with.

 

[noelwr]

I am stuck in a hotel in Detroit due to the volcanic ash cloud over Europe. Congratulations Laila, Lanie and Lynnie!

had a lovely time cruising the Caribbean and brought you ladies back something:

a BFP !!!!!!!!!!!

at 11 dpo and still going strong today at 17 dpo

(Lanie - from cycle twins to preggo buddies! )

 

[CDNinNYC]

Ack, you ladies are killing me with all these BFPs!!!! Is this a record yet?

Noel, congratulations to you and your DH!!! Hurray for another April BFP! How great you found out while on your trip; it's a souvenir you won't soon forget!

Hope you get home soon and safe!

 

[Lanie]

Oh my goodness noelwr!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations!!!!! I can''t believe how many we have had! You and your hubs must be so excited!

 

[CDNinNYC]

Hou, it won't be long for you to get your BFP; I just know it! You'll have a LO before you know it.

 

[HOUMedGal]

NOEL!!! OMG!! Yaaaaayyyyyyy!!!!!!!! I am soooo happy for you, lady!!!

What an awesome surprise on your vacation!! Yahoooo!!!!

Wow, the preggo thread is going to be a BUSY place in 12/10!! Awesome!!!!

 

[HOUMedGal]

Thanks for the luv, CDN.

I hope we get to be preggo together!!

 

[luvinlife]

Noelwr:

OMG OMG OMG

Congrats. I am so incredibly happy for you. Heres wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy.

HOU:

I only know you from lurking on these threads but I dreamt that you posted you were pregnant last night. I hope my *dream* for you comes true

!



ok so is vacation the trick for conceiving around here ? I gues I better book a trip to Spain then a cruise

 

[HOUMedGal]

Awww, luvinlife, that's hilarious and awesome!!!! I so hope i can make your dream come true! haha!

So yeah, apparently the thing you need to do to get preggo around here is either go to spain or go on a cruise or trigger ovulation!! hehe!

I am just loving all of our BFP's around here...tooooooo cooool!!!

Noel, I hope you are the first of our group who had losses together who starts the trend of BFP's for us all!!

Soooo very happy for you, momma!!

 

[Laila619]

Noel!! Congrats!

Are you due around Christmas too? April sure is hopping here!

 

[Kunzite]

OMG noelwr!!! What a great present for your vacation!! Congrats!!

 

[Bella_mezzo]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats Noelwr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Christmas is going to be one hopping time on the preggo/newborn thread!!!!

 

[taovandel]

Just a lurker here...but just wanted to offer my congrats to all of the April BFP!!! What an exciting time!!

 

[Bella_mezzo]

oh, and the ultimate POAS trifecta for me tonight. I did a UTI test (might be positive

) an OPK (faint line), and a preg test (wanted to try my amazon tests). three sticks at once on my counter were pretty entertaining

CD 8 here and gearing up for next week. I guess I should figure out if this really is a UTI b/c I remember someone else mentioning that they had an asymptomatic UTI and didn''t get PG until it was treated....

 

[Blackpaw]

CONGRATS Lynnie

and CONGRATS Noelwr

 

[CatLuver]

Just popping in to say CONGRATS to Laila, Lanie, Lynnie and noelwr!!! How nice for you all to be able to share the pregnancy journey together.

noelwr, I was waiting for you to come back and hoping you would have good news, I just had a feeling about it! You had great BD timing! That is awesome!!! Although I''m sad to lose my quasi-cycle buddy, I''m so happy for you.
---

I''m anticipating AF soon - got a BFN on 14DPO, and I''ve been having light spotting since around 10DPO. I went to my new OB today, and she wasn''t exactly supportive of charting and actively "trying" - she said we should just plan to do it every other day from CD10 to CD20 and not worry too much about it since we don''t have any reason to believe there might be problems. I''m not sure I can do that though; it just doesn''t make sense to me to be BD''ing in CD 16, 18 and 20 if I know I O''d on CD 14....and if it''s possible to pinpoint (as much as possible) when I O''d, I can''t NOT try to optimize the timing!!! Just my type-A-ness...if I decide I want something, I''m going to go for it, not just "relax" and "let it happen"...I get the point about stress being harmful, but if I''m ovulating, I can deal with the stress. I know she thought I was going overboard, but it is what it is...

---

Good luck to everyone else in the 2WW, including Hou! I have a feeling you''ll be leaving us soon too! Wow this place is clearing out fast...we need more ladies to join the club!!!

 

[CatLuver]

Hou, thanks for the support earlier. I saw that Brothers & Sisters episode and cried a little too...Oh, and my therm (Walgreens) does that too. It has 4-5 "favorites," who knows if my temps really are that consistent or the therm is wacky.

dcgator, are you guys full on trying now? Or are you on taking a more relaxed approach?

I''m not posting as much because I wised up to the fact that my company saves the websites you visit for at least 3 months, and while it''s not forbidden, there is a small risk that my records would be produced in discovery for a lawsuit or other regulatory review, and it would be beyond embarassing to have someone see that I was looking/posting on the TTC thread at work...so I''m trying to stay off it.

 

[Po10472]

WOW. Whenever I''m not around, I come back to at least 1 BFP but this is amazing.

Congratulations Laila, Lanie, Lynnie and Noelwr this is wonderful news and I''m so excited for you all with your wee Christmas puddings.

Wishing you all a healthy and happy 9 months and lots of baby dust.

Po
