Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Steal:

Nope - had to come back to edit my last dumb ass post but you got to me already- of course it is the gravity + swimmers. I was thinking -uh? That doesn't make sense for the very reason you posted ( ) and I thought but why is woman on top a no-no in my head for TTC and it came to me - the awkward roll to keep the swimmers in. Carry on...

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Dcgator: I’m glad my tone is coming across to you. I really care about the journey/struggle you are experiencing and emphasise with you completely. It is hard to be on the BFN side of the stick. I would happily welcome you to the KTFUBC club but not if you only have one IUI before then. That isn’t a fair shot. I’m so happy you are in a new cycle and managed to dump that crazy wh0re nurse, was she taking her crazy pills? Enjoy your get-away and try to get some cosy closeness with that wonderful DH of yours. If you can, have a little think about a small gift you would buy your DH like a magazine and his favourite snack or a book he wants etc and give it to him on your break. I know that he was slacking a bit on the support side of things but he must be frustrated too, so if you can reconnect a bit on the caring side then it might come back to you too.

Moxie: It sounds like your BD timing is spot on, I hope it was worth turning off the TV for a BFP! Did you try the cough stuff?

Gaby: How is your eye feeling today? I had an eye infection too last month and it is PITA, though yours sounds much more painful – you poor thing. So, about schexy time....anything new there?

CDN: Your husband has a point about trying to keep a level head while TTC, but if you want, you know that this can be your venting space. If you want to moan about the meaningless of it all or post pics of cute onesies you have seen or post every little symptom you feel then you can do that here and we will all understand, if not be grateful to you for expressing the same feeling they are going through. I’m just saying – just because you have to be sane and sensible about TTC at home doesn’t mean you have to withhold your feeling here. I only say because of a vibe I’ve been getting –if I’m wrong then just say so and I’ll hop off and bug somebody else. BTW – I completely stole the baby cement idea from you! Hope you don’t mind, I think that phrase will stick in TTC-land.
I wonder if you were right about my Dr being embarrassed about the ultrasound and that is what set her off. I also said that the last 2 biopsies were very painful and I wonder if she took offence to me saying that – in fact this one has been almost pain free. I didn’t feel any pain overnight or anything at all today. So, was me mentioning the pain was actually coming across as a complaint which pi$$ed her off but then she did a ‘better job’ and as a result I’m not sore any more? Strange? I love your pic – thank you for coming! Hahahah.

Lili: How are you doing? Thanks for keeping an eye on me, I appreciate your biopsy healing dust. I’m lucky this time for some reason it is a million times less painful. I laughed at your comment that we miss this month! Unless I was in quarantine I would request that DH DTD, even then the nurses have to take a pee break sometime andI would sneak him in....

Bella: Love the ‘energetic’ BD’ing, bet your DH does too! In many ways I envy your focus on the adoption process. It must make the visualisation of your baby so much easier and allow you to be more positive. Thank you for all your support to me, I really appreciate it. How is your DH doing?

Moxie: Sorry you couldn’t go to flo & the mach too! I am disgusted for you that the damned smilie was faulty. And after you went to all the effort to pee on it – that is the thanks you get! I would be so mad. Don’t tell me you really giggle – how can your DH perform through that!

L2L: Your son is darling! Great pic, thanks for your support this month it would be too jammy for us that the Sunday BD’ing was good enough – so I would tend to disbelieve it, for others maybe but not us. Agreed that the 2WW is like freeking groundhog day – it goes on forever! Haha. If DH and I got a BFP this month this is NOT a story to tell the grandchildren! Bahaahhhh. I hope you get a clear O sign very soon. Keep it up! ( )

IWanna: You will be here soon – I just know it.

Dreamer: How was the candy? Which piece was the tastiest? Mmmmmhhhhh…. ***Dust***

Charbie: What do you mean “we will see” are you secretly looking for a BFP this month? That is so sweet. I think wanting a baby is just so primal that insurance and work issues tend to fly out the window. Let me know if we should dust you….

Pumpkin: You are welcome – I was happy to update the list. I see Dreamer is too lazy to update the DPO/CD’s ha (joke). No turkey baster in the house – but if we owned one it would have had to go straight in the bin after last night! Thanks for the support! CD9 and still spotting, that must be annoying. I’m sorry about that. Happy BD’ing – well practising for now.

ModernS: So how was the get-away did you manage to fit in any practising?

WON: Sorry about the BFN yesterday. Were you just scratching the POAS itch? As I said above, the 2WW really is a time abnormality. It sucks. ***Dust***

Mrs: Thank you so much for supporting me – you are vey kind.

PT: Great to see you posting. I miss you around here but know that you will be back – better yet do not pass go, go straight to preggo!

Princess: Yeah the appointment yesterday sucked – thank you for your understanding. I wish you had more clarity in your cycle – here is hoping it comes very soon. You must feel increasingly frustrated, I’m sorry if you do. Sore nipps could be O or AF? Hmmmmm?

LAJennifer: Thanks for checking in. 8DPIUI! I wonder if that was implantation spotting – it would be amazing to have you as our 2nd BFP IUI this month! ***SpecialIUIBabyDust***

RyanClaire: OMG I wanna know about your beta! *** Whine****Sulk***
Thanks for your kind words to me, I honestly and truly care about the girls on this thread.

Miscka: I want a BFP so badly, so so badly that every bit of well-wishing makes a difference. So thank you for your positive wishes.

LTP: Hello! Tell you boss to go sit on a pin. CD10 – whoot! Drink your water!

Catluver: Thank you for the info but sadly I don’t own an instead cup. If I did I would have used it yesterday.

Geri: Bless you for saying that. From your keyboard to God’s ears. Thanks honey.

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

CDN: Steal, I meant to respond to an older post of yours, sorry for the delay! I ended up getting a Goyard St. Louis GM in green as well as a wb in rose gold to wear when I'm not feeling so blingy. I love b-day prezzies to myself. I took your advice from another thread and ordered the Chameleon for my tote but I haven't heard anything from the vendor in a week and I haven't been charged either. I'll need to follow up to find out about my order. I need one!
Oooh….
I want a RG WB so much. What mm is it, does it have miligraining? Where did you get it? And for your Goyard, any chance of a little picie wiccie? Pretty please? I can’t remember – is the vendor Kathy for the chameleon? I found her very prompt but perhaps she has personal issues and isn’t doing e-mails? Strange. I hope she sends it soon. There are super quality – mine are still as new and used every week. I love pre-chosen birthday presents. For some crazy reason you get just what you wanted! How strange!

 

[Ryan Claire]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Miscka, Geri, and Catluver – so nice of you guys to pop back in here to show your support. I really appreciate the warm congrats.

LaurenTP – Thanks so much!

Gaby – so sorry about AF showing up – serious buuuuuu. I fully support you and Steal in your mission to be KU before Christmas – good luck!!!

Steal – you are such a nice person! Thanks so much for thinking of me and rooting me on. You can definitely be an honorary aunt to this little octopus I have had very few symptoms so far… Really if you are supposed to have some intuition about being pregnant, mine must be broken because I didn’t feel anything but normal. I just starting to feel a little bloated and had some heart burn today. In getting my BFP I obviously did an IUI but I also didn’t work out in the 2ww (which is totally not scientific but now you have an excuse ladies!) and I ate pineapple core for 5-6 days after the IUI. I also drank red raspberry leaf tea leading up to O to help with lining. I like the traditional medicinal variety. If I think of anything else I will share.

DC – thanks for thinking of me today. Good luck with the clomid regiment! Have a wonderful weekend getaway – you deserve it!

Bella – thanks for wondering about my beta… you ladies are really awesome. Sounds like you had great timing the last few days. Fingers and toes crossed for you.

***

So at 13dpiui beta #1 is 59, right on target… so it’s official – we are knocked up. Still UBER early so we are cautiously waiting for beta2 on Friday and beta3 on Monday. Thanks again for overwhelming support and kindness.

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

WOW, Ryan Claire CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!


Sorry I missed it earlier - sending you all the sticky dust I can find! Here's to a healthy and happy 40 weeks baking your little bean!

Dust to all! Yayayayayayayayayayay!

 

[Dreamer_D]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Ryan Claire! woo hoo! Am I correct that you do not have a history of losses? If not then hopefully you can relax now as much as any other newly pregnant woman and just ENJOY!!!!

 

[HOUMedGal]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Just popping in from my usual lurkdom here to say hello to friends and throw some baby dust around!!

I love how much this thread is hoppin' lately!! I remember when I was over here, how close you become to the other ladies that are here with you and going through the same stuff at the same time. (especially when several of us got preggo and had losses all around the same time....and now we're all preggo again together!!) It really is special, and I hope that loads of you get preggo together so you can share the joy with one another.

Ryan Claire, I was SOOOO happy to see your good news!!! Congratulations, and all my best wishes for a healthy, smooth pregnancy.

Bella, I have so enjoyed following your posts about the adoption process - keep 'em coming! I'm so glad that you guys seem to be in a good place with regards to making a family.

DC, I'm glad your issues with your doc's office got worked out, and that you'll be able to complete this cycle!! I know I would be so frustrated if I were you with the idea of missing 3 months....the three months we waited after my miscarriage were really, really hard. Wouldn't it be so sweet if this cycle were the one?!?! Sending you all kinds of KTFU vibes. And thanks for your shout-out over on the preggo thread!!! hehe!

Steal, I definitely LMAO'ed at your description of the event that won't be mentioned - very, very nice. If this month is the one, you and your DH will have a little joke to laugh at for YEARS to come regarding the conception of your first child, hehehehe!! I'm pulling for you!!!! Oh, and silver nitrate bits?? Tres sexxxy!!!

Dreamer, it's so cool to see you active on the TTC thread again! I always appreciated your lovely attitude and informative posts so much. I wish you the best of luck with bebe #2 - I hope your TTC time is short!!

I wanna send baby dust all around for everyone here - BFP's DO come in clusters, so here's hoping that Ryan Claire's was the first of many!!!

 

[LAJennifer]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Hello everybody!

Steal - congrats on your "deposit". I've been meaning to ask you about your contact lenses. Are you still wearing them? Mine are always very dry when I wake in the morning - and I too have been known to blink them out. What I do is go immediately to the bathroom and brush my teeth - that seems to make my eyes water and then problem solved. Either that or I gag myself.

DC - have fun on your trip to Nashville. I know the Gators are having a tough year, but it is still fun to support your team no matter what. I pretty much LOVE football more than life - I'll be watching your game on tv and looking for you in the stands (even though I have no idea what you look like).

RC - yay for a great beta!!!! If you start having other symptoms - let us know.

Good luck to all you BDers out there!! We need some Christmas BFPs!!!

*****************************

AFM -today is 8 DPIUI and the spotting was yesterday only. Does implantation spotting usually last just one day? I think that is probably what it was - which kind of surprises me since we had only 7 million motile sperm and I had a very thin uterine lining (though I did have octomom follies). So, I'm fairly confident that something was "trying" to implant - don't know if it will stick. My temp today was the same as yesterday - 97.7, which is my typical post luteal phase temp.

Does anyone know how long the trigger shot stays in your system? Just wondering when I should test.

 

[CDNinNYC]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

!!! Another busy day of posting, yay!

LTP, to quote Bella, here's hoping for a 'energetic' next couple weeks.

RyanClaire, congrats again! That's a great 1st beta. Yay!!!

CatLuver, so nice to see you popping in!

PumpkinPie, I agree with the advice DD gave you. Charting your CF and bding EOD might be the best bet.

Loves2Laugh, I love your avatar! So adorable. Do you check internally for EWCM? It might be possible you've Oed without seeing any. If your cycles are normally 31 days, I'd assume you're right around O time now.

iwannaprettyone, nice to see you popping in once in a while. Isn't it great when you find a great doctor? It really helps with the whole process.

princessplease, those higher temps sound promising! Sending you for this TWW!

Gaby, so sorry to hear about AF. I really hope you get your pre-Christmas wish. I also need to get my butt to the gym. I'm also thinking of trying the EZ fertility diet.

DC, no need to be sorry! You're more than entitled to being upset with your doctor's office. Glad to hear you're less stressed now and hope you have a great time in Nashville at the Gators game. I love going to live sporting events. DH and I went to the Jets game last weekend and had a load of fun even though the game itself was more than disappointing.

Dreamer_D, how you holding up? Watery CF is supposed to be a good sign, right?!?!

Steal, you totally crack me up with your deposits and future dividends! Hehehe What a freaking awesome story this will be when you get your BFP this cycle! Here's some more: Btw, I do think that 40 number sounds about right (maybe a little less), at least from what I remember of that program, The Great Sperm Race, on the Discovery Channel.

I want to thank you for your post re: the vibe you were getting. You got it absolutely right. People (friends, family) have commented how calm and accepting I've been about the whole EP/surgery experience. I tend to internalize a lot except to DH, so he probably gets the brunt of everything. So, I gladly accept your offer to let it all hang out here.

Isnt' RG gorgy? I'm really loving it right now. (Sorry for the thread jack everyone) I'm not sure of the mm but the ring is pretty thin. I can probably find out if you like. There's no miligrain but the ring is designed to look like a string of pearls, hence the name Perlee Ring. I got it at Van Cleef and Arpels and am debating whether I should also get it in WG and YG to wear as stacking rings. Van Cleef currently has a limited edition RG pendant I'm also drooling over. Sigh...

Here's a couple photos of my ring:



And here's my Goyard:


I do have a thing for designer purses and because of the inve$tment I usually go for classic/timeless styles and colours, so this green is a nice pop of colour for me. I know the style isn't for everyone but it's amazingly light, sturdy, and (I'm a little embarrassed to admit) I think it'll make a great mommy bag. And I LOVE that the chevron pattern and monogram are completely hand painted. Isn't that cool?!?!? Even if you don't like the tote, you gotta admire the workmanship. I think DH just does this when I start talking 'purse'. When he first saw the Goyard at home, he totally forgot our earlier conversation about it and asked if it was a new Louis Vuitton. "Ummm, honey, those are my initials..." Hehehe I may have to get the PM version in white for the summer, maybe with racer stripes in navy and green.

Ok, end thread jack!

LAJennifer, that spotting could definitely be implantation. The timing sounds about right. Sending you positive thoughts!

moxie, hope you caught that eggie!

WOIN, are you still hanging in there? Hope all is well!

Baby cement to all! (and Steal, you can't have stolen the cement if I stole it first!)

PS: did anyone else catch that story about Mariah Carey having full body acupuncture EVERY DAY to help her get pregnant?

 

[LAJennifer]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Ok - so I spoke too soon about the spotting. It has started again. Another one trying to implant, perhaps?

 

[luvinlife]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

congrats RyanClaire

Here's wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months!

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

LA Jennifer have you talked to the doc?

 

[LAJennifer]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

LA Jennifer have you talked to the doc?

I have not. They didn't schedule me for a beta either. Just told me to take a test at 14 days and, if negative, to come back on cycle day 3.

 

[Bella_mezzo]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

CONGRATS RYAN you are officially KTFU

 

[Loves2Laugh]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

CDN- You hit it right on the head! Tonight I finally got some EWCM going on! Whoo Hooo! Strangely my drive the last few days has been like nothing I've experienced since having my son. Lucky DH! LOL I think he'll be bummed if we get KU the first round! BTW-Your ring is lovely! It'll look awesome stacked!

RC- Congrats on your beta and I'll be crossing my fingers for it to be double Friday! How exciting!

Steal- I sure hope we can KIU for a few more rounds! LOL Poor DH is in shock I think. BTW, thanks for the "advice" about the site... that was interesting! Always looking for new ideas! Hehe!

Bella- Always awesome when you have a feeling that you made it in the window!

Thank you ladies for the compliments on my little guy. The pic was right after his first haircut. He's such a ham!

Well... since I finally got some kind of clue that something may be going on I'm going to go try and take advantage!

 

[Lanie]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Ryan Claire!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my goodness!!!! I'm so excited for you! I would put lots of smilies on here but I'm on my iPhone. I remember telling my DH early the morning I tested and he was able to go back to sleep as well! Hahaha! It isn't real for them for awhile. You'll see. So excited for you! When is your due date?

 

[Dreamer_D]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

LA Jennifer have you talked to the doc?

I have not. They didn't schedule me for a beta either. Just told me to take a test at 14 days and, if negative, to come back on cycle day 3.

From what I have read on another fetility forum, when you have been triggered it takes between 7 and 14 days to get out of the system, but most women seemed to say 10 days minimum. Some women will "test it out" and take tests until the get a BFN, proving the trigger is gone, and then will start testing again knowing that a positive is pregnancy. So I guess if you want to be sure you need to wait at least 10 days and then you want to see it getting darker over time? Or just wait until 14 DPO and go from there!

I think implantation spotting can also last a couple days. If is brown or brighter red?

Thanks for the info DD. I'll try to hold off of testing for now. And the spotting is brown.

 

[PumpkinPie]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

a quick me-centric whining post - I'm no longer spotting (today is CD 10) but now appear to be actually bleeding again. Perhaps the provera (evil evil provera) is causing 2 periods in a row with only days between them? Either way, I'm not pleased

 

[princessplease]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Steal- Interesting info on the lil swimmers!!! I hope your deposit successfully entered the bank's safe

Bella- Hope this cycle works out!!!!

Steal- Thank you for your words of understanding! I'm glad to know that this biopsy was not as painful for you.

LA- Sending much dust that spotting was inplantation spotting!!!!!!!!!!!

CDN- Thank you! Your ring and bag are simply gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!

RC- YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Much dust for rising betas!!! CONGRATS ON BEING KTFU!!!!!!

PP- I'm sorry that the provera may be doing that

AFM, not much to report. 4DPO and waiting. Yesterday and last night, I had lots of creamy white CM. Nips are still sore, lower back is hurting a lot today, and I had a really vivid dream involving the male cast of Jersey Shore. Effin weirdness......but nothing exciting, nonetheless. Temp was still high today, highest it's been since O. Just waiting (albeit impaitently)!

 

[Loves2Laugh]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Pumpkin- I'm so sorry what you're going through with the Provera. It really is an evil drug. Hopefully this cycle is a "re-set" and everything will be back on track.

princessplease- I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for you! The sore nips was the first, really early sign I had when I got KU last time. Espeically if that's out of the ordinary for you before AF starts. Do you have a date in mind that you want to test if AF doesn't start? I hope this month brings wave of BFP's!!

LA- I bet there are a couple eggs nestling in there! You said there were many mature follies, right?

 

[princessplease]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

L2L- Thanks! AF is due next Sunday, so DH and I agreed we'll test then! I hope the nips are not post O!

 

[Steel]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Ryan Claire: Awh, the first octopus. I am so happy with your beta results – I’m surprised you are not shouting from the roof tops. Well done mamma-to-be, this is it. I am still in happy shock to see that pink line – did you do any digital tests? Did DH remember the pink line when he woke up or did you have to remind him? I’ll bet there are a lot of smiles in your home this week. How long will you wait to tell your family or friends?

Bliss: I love to see you over here. You sound wonderfully upbeat in your preggo thread posts, it is wonderful to read that you are so happy at the moment. I think you still hold the BD’ing marathon record. Some have challenged but none succeed.

HOU: I love to follow your posts on the preggo thread. The scan was out of this world –it is so amazing to me that she is right in there – waiting and growing. It is such a miracle. Keep baking mamma – she will be amazing. I am hoping that this is the end to our drought over here there are so many ladies who deserve their BFP: DCgator, Bella, CDN, LAJenn, Gaby, Lili, Fisher, LTP and the beautiful KTF, I hope this is the beginning for all of us. Keep space in that preggo thread – I know there will be a gaggle of waddling mammas-to-be moving over from here very soon.

LAJennifer: Yes I’m back in the lenses and they are great. I mentioned comfort drops a while ago and I use them many times a day and absolutely first thing when I get up. Sometimes, if I use the bathroom at night I use them then, just because the lenses tend to feel stuck to my poor eyeballs if I don’t. Now I do have a small section of ‘dry-eye’ in my right eye so the optician says I would be prone to using the drops more often- simply for my comfort. Do you use any drops at all? If not, kudos on the moist eye balls! Bet you never heard that before!
To be a party pooper I had spotting at 5ishDPO, 2 months ago and was convinced I was pregnant – burning hot nipples, pinching, metallic taste etc and a BFN.
That said, I totally agree, it does sound like implantation spotting; which if you spend enough time a-googling can be only for 1 day or over 3 days!!! I would be so excited for you if this was it for you too. Can you imagine twins?!!!!!
About the Dr. I think it is kind of mean that they seem to have sent you ‘on your way’ after the IUI, to test for yourself or come back on CD3. It sounds too cold, not that I expect you to get a Dr. home visit- just a little more than that would be nice.

CDN: OMG, that purse is to die for. And monogrammed, OMG!!!!!! The colour choices are so complimentary; you did an amazing job. I think it is so funny your DH was clueless what he bought you! It would be spectacular in white. I have yet to get a white LV – I am holding out for a white Le Fab – do you think the LV fairy would bring one if I was very good (or knocked up!)…ahhhh a girl can dream. The ring absolutely needs a sibling – in fact get the YG & WG. Beautiful and dainty… great choices, how did your DH know just what you would have liked? ( ) Hahah
So, I am jealous that you were happy to post your monogram here. I am totally paranoid about my name on the net and I try to rationalise – who would know me and who would be sure, based on my first name? But still I’m holding back. I love that I know you are an A. I imagine you are an Alison now, a beautiful Allie! (don't tell me, I don't need to know and am happy guessing) So tit for tat, I’m a J. You have had a tough year, I hope that it ends on a positive note (get it, whooooot!).

L2L: I love you see your avatar; such a cutie! It is so funny before TTC DH and I had much longer stints of action than we are doing now, but it is the pressure which makes it suck. Knowing we have to and that certain protocols have to be followed so there is no wastage ( !) etc. It takes a lot of the fun out of it. I loved that site too! Happy BD’ing! I hope you catch the eggie!

Pumpkin: Good grief. I am so sorry. I bet you are really cranky. I don’t have any experience with the provera but it is giving you a rough ride. I truly hope it will be over soon. ****dust****

Princess: Haha. Well the bank is closed now and will be for a few days for repairs! Hahahhaha. Oooh were they schexy type dreams! The best kind… ****dust**** for you honey that you are implanting as we speak.

Dreamer: So are there any used pee sticks in your house at the moment? 'Fess up! You are being very quiet over there.... 11DPO and any news........... *****************************************DUST**************************************************************

Dcgator, Bella, Lili & Po:

___________________________

AFM: So If I did O yesterday or today we hit Sunday night/Monday morning, Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday night. With the + OPK on Tues afternoon. I did another OPK yesterday at 4pm - so no more that 24 hrs from the + and it was so faint - barely there at all. So I surged quickly. It would be amazing. I spent exactly 30 mins in the after BD'ing position (legs and butt in the air) - extra schexy ! And I will freely admit I mentally encouraged the swimmers to swim! If this cycle works out we would get our + 2 days before DH's SA. That would be too good to be true. So yes, the SA is booked for 2 weeks time; the SA and my ultrasound are in the same week.
In other news, our garage door is installed and we cleared out our master bedroom. DH is putting up the coving/cornice as I type. We looked at the room today and he said he could have the cot on his side so as to be away from the french doors. Could you imagine it? Us with a baby in our new master bedroom?

I don't know if my sparkles worked for RC, but just in case....
Love to all and DUST to those in the TWW, especially Dreamer & LAJenn.

 

[PumpkinPie]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Good luck Steal - sounds like you your BD schedule was right on. I will have my fingers crossed for you in the 2ww. You totally deserve your baby octopus!

Thanks for the support everyone -I am definitely a little cranky and wondering whether it's worth it to be so invested in this emotionally right now. I may take a couple day break from posting (but won't be able to refrain from reading although I see the acupuncturist tomorrow again so if she says any more wonderful words to me, I'll be sure to pass them on

 

[PumpkinPie]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

and yes - where is Dreamer these last hours - have you tested yet? time for an update!

 

[Dreamer_D]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

PumpkinPie I am so sorry that the provers did such a number on you! boo hiss! I will send all my mental vibes your way to give you an internet hug.

Princess Let the waiting begin I never had sore nips so who knows! Every single early pregnany sign is also a sign that AF is coming... of course ... ya know, just to mess with us.

Steal Your timing was PERFECT this month! woo hoo! I think you have a good shot. It is really the only thing we can control in this process -- geting busy as much as possible. And you did a good job, cervix and all.

*****************

AFM There are NO tests in the house and I do not plan to test today! But I will report that I am 11DPO and not one little sign of AF. Usually I have a 10 day LP and would see a temp drop before AF arrived, and today my temp was higher than ever. I also felt like AF was arriving any second for the last day and last night and the feeling continues this morning, but every time I go check nada, not even a tinge internally. No watery CF though. The cramping is *very* familiar. But I will not test today. Maaaaybe tomorrow. Maybe. I feel pretty certain what the test will say, and taking the test will not change anything, so I just want to wait.

Here is my chart for those who like them.

 

[Steel]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Dreamer - your temps look great and no pink CM is great x2. It would be amazing if you were. Go on.....Test...........
(Edit - I can't post tonight because DH is taking the internet - I have been like a lab rat refreshing this page to see if you have posed and nada. I only get a damn near picture postcard chart.... if you post a BFP when I can't reply I will be sooooooooo mad at you. Wait till tomorrow - Okay? )

Pumpkin - This thread can do that to you. It is positive but sometimes it makes you feel a bit down too. Take a break and hopefully your cycle will get the hint and get it's act together. ((hugs))

Gaby: Have you packed AF's bags yet?

DD, I wish I had just one shred of the self control you have! I would have peed on 10 sticks by now!

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Steal, Thank you for asking about my eye, I'm feeling so much better, the puffy eye now looks like a pea size We have not being able to try any new trick But I did took a look at the 101 web page and it looks so much fun . AF still here she usually stays for 3 long days and then she says good on the fourth day trying to return on the 5 day. I will be able to finally kick her off on Saturday. So sexy time will have to wait for the weekend How are you feeling? Are you in the 2WW? I need to know when can I ship the 2 tonnes of cement all the way to Europe

Ryan, I'm so happy that the appointment went well. I'm sure everything is going to be ok and you will have a baby summer

LA, How are you feeling now? Have you spoke with your Dr. Thinking of you and cannot wait to see what is going to happen in the next few days.

CD NYC, I just Google the EZ diet and sounds really good. I definitely want to eat healthier. I don't eat process food and make my lunch daily so I know what I'm eating. I will have to cut the potatoes I love potatoes. My husband is in a gluten free diet so its easer to avoid bread and pastas . I love your purses, my favorite is the Bottega Veneta I want a channel one. It's on my wish list .

Pumkin, sorry about AF coming back I hope you can have a normal cycle soon. Hugs!!

Princess, sending you dust for a BFP!!!

Dreamer, sending you a million dust, but I'm sure you don't even need it but I still sending you some. TEST, TEST, TEST, you are killing us
