Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Hello everyone,

I hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving, full of family and food :bigsmile: . I am still at the IL's, but will be heading back in the VERY early AM. For those of you still traveling today (or even tomorrow) safe travels!

Princess - Yipee on your :)) OPK. It sounds like you and your DH definitely got the timing down. Welcome to the 2WW and LOADS of dust!

L2L - Yeah for the nice follie in there :appl: Good luck catching your eggie!

Pumpkin - I am sorry that you haven't gotten AF yet. I hope that your doc will give you some much needed input. I am sorry that you aren't feeling very positive right now, but don't feel like you can't come for support if you need it. Everyone is here to support each other through the good times and the not so good times.

Deelight - Aw, thanks so much for the love. I also appreciate the dust.

Charbie - Boo for the BFN, but like others said, it's definitely early. I will send you all my sticky dust for a BFP in the next couple days. And try not to stress too much about the symptoms, just stay positive!

Mrs - I hear you on the pregnancy thing. I really haven't been to stressy, but the last day or two I am getting a bit more anxious. Maybe I will nip it in the bud after my 3rd beta tomorrow. Good luck hanging in there and I will see you over in the JBP thread.

Modern - YEAH, CONGRATS ON YOUR BFP! That is so very exciting! And what a pretty collection on HPT's you have. Come on down to the JBP thread when you feel ready. I could use another first time pregger to go through this all with ;)

*****
AFM - I have to go back to the doc for another round of betas, but otherwise, I have been pretty good. I will let you all know how it goes. Till then, I hope you all have a nice evening.
 
Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Yah Modern! haha that you thought you had an LP defect ;)) There are lots of us who got preggo without too much hullabaloo and LPs in the 10 day range, now you are one more!

charbie I got a neg at 8DPO and a pos as 11 DPO. It is still super early.
 
Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Congrats Mrs and Modern!!! Loving this bfp boom :)
:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:
 
Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Thanks for all the well wishes. It still hasn't really sunk in yet, but I will admit I continue to POAS to watch the cheapie line get darker!

RC: Looking forward to joining you on the barely preggo thread. Love the cute ultrasound pic!!!

Dreamer: Yep, you were right, no LP defect for me. Shows I should play doctor with myself! Can't believe you are 7 weeks! Hope the next few fly by!

DC: I am so excited to be joining you on this journey! As far as I can tell at 11 dpo I am 3 weeks 4 days today and it is CRAZY to know so early!!! I think I will migrate to the barely prego thread at 4 weeks officially.

Moxie: Thanks for your shout out! See you on the other thread soon!

MRS: I hope you get a sense of calm soon!

Pumpkin: Hugs to you, I hope you get some good results this week.

Charbie: Thinking of you! Did you break down and test again yet?

Princess: good luck in your 2WW

AFM: I bought some more fancy pee sticks, going to try the digi one that says "pregnant" tomorrow in hopes that my levels will be enough. DH is still in disbelief, and I think that will make it a bit more real for us. However I did have a mild wave of nausea this morning that made me believe a little more!
 
Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Oh my gosh! Mrs. and Modern - congratulations on your BFPs ladies!!!! Lots of sticky dust to both of you!!!! :appl: :appl: :appl: :appl: :appl:
 
Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Modernsparkler--
:appl: :appl: Congrats!
What a great bday present for your DH.
Lots and lots of sticky dust to you.
Wow, Nov is turning out to be a great great month.
I think the running number is up to 8 already -- record BFP month.
And there are still 2 more days left for a couple of BFP to creep in (charbie and CDN :)

Charbie--
Fingers crossed for you.

L2L--
:appl: for the follie.
Hope you guys caught your eggie over the weekend.

Princess--
Good luck to you too.
Hope your wait in the 2WW is short.
 
Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Modern- CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Much sticky bean dust!!!!!!!!

AFM, not much, hanging at 4DPO. I have a bunch of trainings this week for work, so it'll help the week go by fast.
GL to all in the 2WW and those waiting to O!
 
Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Modern: YAY!!!! Where is my Staples" easy" button?

Wow...all these bfps....we r gonna have no one left pretty soon!

I appreciate the thoughts from everyone. I did test again today, and still BFN. I obviously then tore the test apart....anyone know how the FRERs work? I mean, besides the obvious? Bc there is a pink line that's not in the window that is faint pink...but I don't know what that line is for. DH wasn't around this morning, so I felt ok testing and just keeping it quiet. What he doesn't know wont hurt him...right?

Im not feeling super" positive" which actually is ok with me. It would actually be more ideal if I didn't get pregnant until next month anways, so I wont be too disappointed if it wasn't our month. Plus, id rather not have to be big and 9 months preggo in the middle of the dog days of summer :knockout: :cheeky: not that all you recent graduates wont have the best summer ever giving birth next year! :appl:
 
Re: The Official TTC Thread!

:appl: :appl: :appl: :appl: :appl: :appl: Mrs and modern!!!
 
Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Just wanted to congratulate dcgator, moxie, Mrs, and Modern (and anyone else who's recently gotten BFPs!!!). And good luck to Charbie, Princess, PumpkinPie and others in the 2WW!!!!

I have taken a couple months off TTC for various reasons but plan to try again around January - I am still lurking however, and wishing the best for all of you. At this BFP rate, when I come back I may be talking to myself - but it's all for a good cause so I fully support every last one of you abandoning this thread. Off with you to the pregnant PSers thread!
 
Re: The Official TTC Thread!

It's so quiet now with all the BFPs!!
Char- I'm not sure how many DPO you are, but you're still in till witch comes. Hang in there girl!! ::hugs::

PP- How are you? AF yet?

AFM, 5 DPO. Nothing to report except a temp dip to coverline and a TON of creamy CM (so much that when I checked my finger was covered). Def not a YI as it was lotiony and smooth ( sorry TMI!). Just hanging out til Sun when I'll test 1st (10 DPO). GL to all waiting to test and O!
 
Re: The Official TTC Thread!

:appl: :appl: modern!! So happy for you!!


Hi princess! I'm just hangin too at CD15 and I think 2DPO. It is quite quiet around here... I think a lot of us are in the 2ww now.
 
Re: The Official TTC Thread!

L2L- Did you get a :)) with your OPK??

AFM, not much, 6dpo. Mild cramping last night during zumba, then some very mild cramping this AM. Just hanging out, impaitently!!!!!
 
Re: The Official TTC Thread!

11 dpo, still not pregnant. Im really ok, honestly. Im not holding out hope that" its not over til AF shows up!" Bc seriously, I don't feel pregnant, the negatives ate GLARING negatives, and next month would be better for me to get pregnant anyways. Plus DH and I are still having housing issues since moving, and its not getting better anytime in the forseeable future. We are still in our temporary home until ours sells, which is not happening anytime soon.
guess who's doing shots at the company Christmas party???
 
Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Hello ladies....echo, echo

It definitely is quiet in here. I hope some of you ladies start popping back in soon.

Modern - Congrats again sweetie! Are you going to post your pretty "pregnant" pee stick?

Pumpkin - Any news on your end?

Princess - Continued luck on the 2WW! I am excited for you for Sunday. Hopefully you will have some great news to share!

LTP - You are in the 2WW too, right? Lots of dust to you!

Charbie - How are things going in your 2WW, are you still in the game or did AF arrive? As to your question about taking HPT's apart, I believe CDN did that a few months back. You might want to ask her or look at the posts from a few months ago.

WOIN - How lovely to see you again. Thanks for the well wishes. I really hope that January gets her soon, so that you can jump back into the TTC pool! ;)

L2L - Great timing on catching the eggie and Lots of luck for the 2WW!

For the rest of the ladies, I wish you lots of luck wherever in your cycles you may be!
 
Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Hi Ladies! Hopefully things will pick up around here! :wavey:

DCG: Hope you are feeling well. Yay for Monday's result!

Charbie: Sorry about the BFN and your frustrations now. IF af comes, you can enjoy another month of christmas party cocktails. I do think things happen for a reason and if the timing isn't right this month, than maybe it will be next month for you. But, it WILL happen!

Princess: Your sx sound a bit like mine! I had TONS of creamy CM and cramping overnight on 7 DPO. Lots of luck to you. When are you planning to test?

L2L: Good luck in your 2WW! I hope you caught your egg!

WhatsOldisNew: Good to see you around here. Looking forward to seeing you back in January! Only 30 more days!

Bella and Lili: thanks for the well wishes!

LTP: Thinking of you!

And yes, I did pee on the prego stick on Monday night.... :D

Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Wow... with all the BFP's it really is quiet around here!

princess- I think I got a +OPK, we'll see. I hope the cramping means something! I know the 2ww is sooooo long!

charbie- Yeah for shots at the Christmas party! I know it's still not over and I'm holding out a little hope for you still!

dc- Thanks for stopping by! I hope you're doing well!

mondern- Love the picture! Can't have enough of those around here! Gives the rest of us hope.... I hope you're still feeling well!


AFM- I bought generic Target brand OPK's and I was very disappointed in them. When I started using them Sat there was a light line there then Sun just a little darker and still not as dark as the control line. When Monday got here it was very light and yesterday hardly anything so I'm assuming Sunday was my positive? I told DH that's what I get for being cheap! Next month I'll get the "Answer" ones I used last time that gave me a positive as soon as I took it. These Target ones really didn't give you anything in either window until like 10 minutes later! So.... I'm going to put myself at Sunday as the +OPK.
 
Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Char- I'm sorry for BFN. I'm sending you much dust for a BFP soon! In carousing the FF forums, I've seen women who don't get their BFP until 18DPO :o

DC- Thanks for the dust! Sunday will be 10 DPO so I'm not going to freak out if it's a BFN.

MS- Thanks for posting your BFP!!! I love looking at them!! I bought those PG tests as a confirmation in case of a BFP on the internet strips. I'm going to test on Sunday which is 10 DPO, as long as AF doesn't rear her ugly head Sunday AM. Last month, I believe I had a LP of 10 days, but it was hard to tell since I wasn't tracking all of my temps. I never had PMS symptoms prior to the pill (no cramping, b*tchiness, sore BB's, etc), so I don't know what to make of the cramps. The cramping continued from about 10am EST till about 1:00 EST. It was just weird, like a BM feeling, but after using the restroom, they didn't go away. They were very mild too.

L2L- Sorry the OPK's didn't work out. I bought the :)) as a backup for the internet strips, but I found the internet strips to be very hard to read. The :)) are SO expensive, but boy oh boy did they work well and were easy to read!
 
Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Hi ladies!!!!
It is quite in here. I'm still checking several threads, but seldom posting; I've been pretty sick which for some reason I didn't expect at all... :rolleyes: Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I'm reading and thinking of you all, whether you're in the 2ww, prepping for a BD marathon, or cursing AF!
-m.m.
 
Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Hi Princess - thanks for asking. No AF yet for me, just continued spotting. Today is CD 38 so I'm pretty annoyed. Going to see my dr. in the morning for last weekend's bloodwork results. I'll update everyone then

Charbie - good luck getting your BFP soon. It's still kind of early for you :)
 
Re: The Official TTC Thread!

PP- GL with your appointment today! Keep us posted!!

AFM, hanging out 7DPO. Still abundant creamy CM, anxiously waiting! That's about all!
 
Re: The Official TTC Thread!

PP- Thinking of you and hoping your Dr appt goes well.
 
Re: The Official TTC Thread!

PP- Hoping your appointment goes well and that perhaps you get some more answers about what's going on.

Good luck in the 2ww L2L and princess; I'm hoping it goes quickly for you!!
 
Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Hey everyone!

Congratulations to everyone recently with a BFP especially RC! I just want to let everyone know that I've been lurking this thread for quite awhile now but haven't posted my experience since DH hasn't been 100% on board TTC until recently. Anywho, I am 25 and DH is 28 and I've been recently been diagnosed with PCOS by my RE :angryfire: ! I tried 50 mg clomid for two cycles and I O'ed the first at day 20 and nothing on the second plus I had semi-unpleasant side effects. I think my RE is going to put me on Femara on my appt next week and I'm really trying to be super optimistic!!!!! Anyone had success with this medication?

I'm hoping that joining the TTC forum gives me the extra baby dust I need. Thanks for the support ladies!!! From what I learned, TTC is not for the weak of heart and I don't know how anyone is strong enough to approach AF with optimism.
 
Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Fabcrab- Welcome to the board!!!! The gals on here are amazing!!!! I'm so sorry about your PCOS dx, but I'm glad you have a plan in place with your doc. Have you joined fertilityfriend.com? They are an amazing resource for all TTC; I learned so much there in addition to here.

PP- How was your dr appt?

L2L- how are you hanging?

AFM- 8 DPO, temp spiked to highest post O, but did the same thing last cycle, although I was just getting sick at that time last cycle. Weird thing is last cycle my nips hurt from 2DPO to AF, but now, no nip pain, just very very sore bbs. Other than that, nothing else; anxiously awaiting a lack of AF. I'm testing Sun (10dpo) although I know it'd still be very early for BFP.
 
Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Hi princess :wavey: still hanging! I'm sick now :knockout: and I've held out until today from taking anything. I keep having the "just in case" running though my head but I'm just miserable! Hopefully this is it's worst and I'll feel better tomorrow. We're having Thanksgiving part 2 over here and I really don't want to be feeling yucky. Can't wait to hear from you Sunday! Keeping my fingers crossed.

fabcrab- :wavey: Hi to you! I almost went on Femara when I got pg with DS on our first round of Clomid. I don't have PCOS but my OB thought the Femara would have had a better outcome. Well... never got that far! Good luck! I've heard a lot of GOOD things about it and many sucess stories!

charbie??

PP??

How are you guys doing?

We went and chopped down a tree today and put it up! I haven't had a real tree in forever and it's so nice! I just hope all the needles aren't dropping by Christmas time. I hope everyone else is doing well.
 
Re: The Official TTC Thread!

Princess- Thanks for the super warm welcome!!!! Yes, I've joined fertilityfriend.com however I only use the site for BBT purposes. I thought it would be a good idea for me to take a break from BBT this cycle (completely unmedicated except metformin) so I can relax before we start taking Femara. I'm so excited for the Dr's appt next friday!!!

L2L- I'm so happy that clomid worked for you the first time! It was actually my regular gyno nurse that prescribed this to me and I was not being monitored so I read around here that seeing an RE is the way to go and I'm super happy with this decision.

~~~~

So how's everyone doing???

A little bit more about me, I live in Salt Lake City and this place I swear has the youngest mothers/pregnant women in the country! It's also not very uncommon for people to start a family immediately after getting married. This is all probably in my head, but I almost feel judged when people are shocked that DH and I have been married for almost 4 years and still no children (yes we married young!). I guess I'm just extra sensitive because I really want a baby right now and I know my body isn't exactly "normal". Not that everyone around us having kids is the reason for us to want them but all I'm saying is the age here seems really skewed--kind of the same way PS skews diamond sizes and quality :lol: .
