Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Congrats, MRS! I'm so so so excited for you and now you have even more thanks to give! I had 2 glasses of wine the night before my BFP... If I had known they'd be my last for 10 months, I would have opened a much nicer bottle. Congratulations again.

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

princess- Yeah for a +OPK! Now comes the fun of catching that egg!

Mrs- So exciting to get a BFP today! Are you going to share the news today with family or are you keeping it hush-hush for a while? I wouldn't be able to contain myself! So exciting!

moxie- How are you feeling?

dc- How did your beta go yesterday? Still sending sticky dust your way!

pp- Thinking of you and hoping AF has made her appearance (or even some O signs??) either way, I hope something is going on. I know how frustrating it is to be treading water. I was where you are now back when we were TTC #1 and it was a very low point for me. You feel like your body is failing you. I really do hope you get some answers and hopefully the right one comes sooner then later and you'll get your BFP!! ((hugs!!))

lili- I just wanted to say congrats! So happy for you and DH! Do you have a EDD yet? Do you know yet if it's just one little bean in there? So exciting!

AFM- CD10 and just hangin! I still need to get some OPKs. I go for my ultrasound tomorrow morning at 9:30 to make sure everything looks good to start the Clomid next cycle. I'd love to hear him say there's a big ripe follie or two... one can dream, right?

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Hi Loves2Laugh - thanks for reminding me to check back in. i've been lurking but not posting because there is absolutely nothing going on. No AF, no signs of anything. CD 32 for me today. I feel like I don't have much to contribute and am too negative so have been avoiding posting for a couple days. I do go for bloodwork again on Sunday and to my dr. next Thursday so maybe something will come from that? Good luck at your ultrasound tomorrow!

Princessplease - congrats on the smiley - have fun with all your BD

Congratulations Mrs!!

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Hey ladies,

Sorry to keep you all in suspense. Just a quick flyby, since I am sitting with all the IL's right now, but the news was very good yesterday. My Betas went from 17.7 on 11DPIUI to 77 on 13DPIUI. So, my betas almost quadroupled (sp)! I am, of course,super pumped now and have told both my family and DH's family. We are going to keep it only to the immediate family right now (moms, dads, bros, and sister), but everyone was super pumped!

My doc was still a little cautious, and wanted me in on Monday when I go back to take my betas, but I am super positive right now.

Mrs - SUPER BIG GONGRATS to you too lady! I am sooo glad to hear that you are KU! I am also looking forward to moving through our respective pregnancies together. YEAH!!!!

 

[PumpkinPie]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

YAY dcgator! congrats on your strong betas

 

[Dreamer_D]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Mrs Now I remember! We were pregnant together last time too! How funny. And Blen was as well and is pregnant aagin too. I remeber your daughter's name, I remember really liking it.

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

ModernSparkler--
Sorry to hear about the occupational exposure.
But that's reassuring that the dr said it's not going to interfere w/ TTC.
How's your cycle this month?

PrincessPlease--
for the .
Isn't it funny how just a little symbol can make your day?
Good luck and hope you guys catch your eggie.

L2L--
Thanks.
I won't know until next week when I go in for the first u/s.
Will update then.
Good luck w/ the u/s tomorrow.
I may have missed it, but are you not ovulating on your own?

DD and Mrs--
That's so fun that you guys are going through this journey together again.

 

[modernsparkler]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

MRS: I was hoping to see that from you today

DCG: YAY for increasing Betas and for telling your family! So excited for you

Lili: Congrats to you too on your baking success Thanks for asking, I am 7 DPO and hanging on, but CD 39 so I am not sure how the late O will affect things. I feel pretty neutral now, so we shall see.

Mrs: congrats on the They are the best. Have fun with the thanksgiving BD marathon!

Pumpkin: Good luck with the blood tests. Hope you are hanging in there.

Loves 2 Laugh: Good luck with the ultrasound!!! Hope you have TONS of follies!

7 DPO for me with lots of creamy CM which I don't remember from before, but we shall see

 

[Loves2Laugh]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

dc- Great beta!! Maybeeee there's more then one bean in there??? We're due for another set of twinnies around here, right?

lili- I'm not sure if I am or not. When I got pg with DS (using Clomid) it was found I wasn't. But since having him I've been very regular and usually have signs of O-ing. I guess we'll find out tomorrow!

 

[Laila619]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Congrats Mrs!!

DCgator, YAY for the huge beta increase!!

 

[Mrs]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

thanks again for the congrats, ladies!

L2L, how did the ultrasound go?! hope it went well!

pumpkin, sorry you're feeling down! I hope your blood work and dr's appointment go well next week!

dcg, yay for GREAT numbers! how would you feel about multiples?!?

modern, is the creamy CM something you haven't experienced before post O before? hope it means you've got a bun in the oven!!

DD, indeed, you and Blen and I were KU together last time too

AFM, POAS again last night - this time the clear blue digital I had left over from the first time I got KU since I had bought a two pack and it read "pregnant" - love that.... really hoping this sticks!!

 

[Loves2Laugh]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Hi ladies! Ultrasound went very well. There was a follicle measuring 17mm! I asked the Dr if he was kidding me! So.... I now have a weekend of playing "catch that egg!" LOL! He wants us to continue to try naturally for the next 2 months and he's running a bunch of bloodwork to make sure everything else is good. I went by Target and picked up some OPK's. He said he figured I'd O either Sun or Mon. We'll see!

 

[Deelight]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Just coming out of lurking to say YAY to you DC - I have been following your story since I was here and I am so happy for sending you a ton of sticky toffee like dust for you good to hear about your numbers

Congrats Mrs YAY for more babies

 

[PumpkinPie]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Congrats on your follicle Loves2Laugh (the things I never imagined I would post on the internet to strangers ) - good luck catching it this weekend!

I hope you're still enjoying the glow of your good news Mrs.


AFM - I think this spotting/cramping yuckiness will turn into AF pretty shortly. It'll be CD 1 for me either tonight or tomorrow I'm sure. This marks our first full trying cycle. I'm glad to at least get the show on the road so if we haven't succeeded in 6 months, we'll be able to get a referral to an RE.

 

[charbie]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

That's great news, dc! There very well could be two ninja turtles in there with those kind of numbers! Squeee!
Mrs! Congrats! That is so exciting to have #2 baking!
PumpP: sorry about AF...but like you said, it just means one step closer to a bebe!
PriP: glad your eggie launched now go get it!
L2L: you go get that eggie, too!
MS: oh my 2ww partner in crime: you're two days ahead of me...have you tested yet? When POAS day for you??

AFM: smack dab in the middle of the 2ww, technically, but might test beforethe true end of the two weeks. asked DH what he thought about me testing one day this coming week, and he said, "seriously? Why? You'll know one way or another in a week or so anyways." wrong answer! I've been on an antianxiety med for a few years now and I'm titrating myself off of it (hopefully!) But I read online withdrawal symptoms and basically it lists egverything that's also a pregnancy symptom. I've been feeling sick to my stomach...which is also what people say happens as you stop the drugs. Late periods is also a symptom! So I guess ill have to test at some time in order to be sure

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

CAN'T RESIST THE URGE....MUST PEE ON STICK.

I may or may not be in the parking lot of a drug store right now. It opens in 2 mins. I have to pee really bad bc I woke up this morning and couldn't help myself from wanting to POAS. So I'm holding my FMU right now. I told DH I wouldn't test again for 3 days if its a BFN.


I'm pathetic.

 

[Loves2Laugh]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Go charbie!!

I SOOO couldn't hold my pee that long!! Crossing my fingers for a BFP for you!!!

time to go back to bed with my BFN. Booooooo.

Ill test again on Weds. I'm super early, but strangely, feel better.

 

[Loves2Laugh]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

I'm sorry charbie! It's still early... when are you "officially" late?? Sometimes you just gotta get it out of your system and I'm glad you feel a little better.

 

[princessplease]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

DC- Yay for strong betas!!!!!!!!

PP- Are you planning on seeing your dr soon? I am so sorry for your hard time this cycle ::hugs::

Lili- The smiley completely made my day!!!!

MS- Much dust!!!!!!!!!!!!!

L2L- Enjoy the BD marathon!!!!!! Yay for big follies!!!

Charbie- Sorry you got a BFN, but it's still early!!!!!!!!!!!!! Much dust for BFP!!!

Mrs- Congrats AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AFM, 3DPO, yay!! According to FF, I o'ed on same day as positive OPK (I think I caught the tailend of the surge), and DH and I BDed the night of CD14 and AM and PM on CD 15 (O day), so I'm really hoping this is it. I just have this gut feeling that we caught the eggie, but only time will tell!! I'm planning on testing next Sunday AM which will be 10 DPO. I stocked up on a few digitals at the drugstore today! Gah, damn the 2WW!!!!!

 

[Mrs]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

charbie, I got a BFN 8DPO and then a BFP 12DPO so hang in there! I hope the next 3 days fly by for you!!

L2L, so glad your appointment went well on friday and that you had a nice follie. hope you caught it!

PP, my fingers are crossed that you did indeed time it right this month!!

pumpkin, did AF start? sorry you're feeling crampy! when is your appointment this week?

AFM: I'm completely obsessed with this pregnancy and cannot think about anything else. I had thought I'd be more zen this time around but nope... POAS again this morning since I bought a 25 pack off amazon and I figure they might as well get used. I wish I could wiggle my nose and be through the first tri already - it's so nerve wracking! Thanks again for the congrats everyone.

hugs, mrs

 

[PumpkinPie]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Charbie - sorry for the BFN but as everyone else said, it's still early and you're not out of the game yet this cycle

Mrs - good luck dealing with the anxiety. I'm sure the zen will come with time

Princess - great timing - good luck!!!



No AF for me yet - today is CD 35. Still having some spotting, but nothing else. I had blood drawn this morning and will see my dr. on Thursday for the results.

 

[modernsparkler]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Mrs: Yay for the "PREGNANT" POAS result. So exciting your LO will have a sibling. Lots of sticky dust to you!

L2L: Sounds like the ultrasound was a success!! Hope you get a good result on the OPK' and have a fun BD marathon!

Pumpkin: Sorry about AF and the spotting and cramping. I hope you get some answers from the dr this week and the referral to RE if he thinks it is necessary.

Princess: Good luck in the 2WW. Sounds like you did a good job catching the eggie!

Charbie: I am sorry about the BFN but I remember right, youare 8 DPO which is TOO EARLY!!! I am glad you feel better though. I am wondering though if you were able to keep more pee sticks out of the house until Wednesday cause I know I couldn't! I am thinking good thoughts for you!!!


AFM: DH's 30th bday was Friday and on Thursday night I had some mild cramps, and since I was convinced I have a luteal phase defect, I figured AF was coming and I indulged in a few libations to commemorate the big day. Yesterday AM, no AF so before leaving for cool lodge to celebrate for the night, I used an internet cheapie and I thought I saw a faint line. I didn't really believe it since I was 9 DPO and it was SO faint, but on the way to the lodge we stopped at the store and I just HAD to buy an EPT. This morning, while DH was still sleeping, I went to the bathroom and used the EPT. It was pretty dark, so I set my cell phone timer for 5 mins and went back to bed where DH was awake, smirking at me knowing what I had just done. 5 mins later I looked at the test, and there is the FAINTEST + sign . I am in shock and cautiously excited!!! I am going to test again tomorrow (and maybe the next 3 days at least) but I think we might just have gotten our BFP!!!

Thanks to all of you for the education and support. This is a wonderful forum and I hope the BFP luck continues!

 

[modernsparkler]

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

I know now know thanks to annoying Dr. Google that the EPTs sometimes have false positives and evap lines, so I am posting my cheapies (yes, I am up to 4 now.... since yesterday AM) and I have 4 faint lines on all of them.
