Amber well then you don''t *actually* have a BFN this cycle yet, since if today is CD 16 then "last week" was pretty early! haha... was there some BD in the window? If you won''t hope, can I?

I''m hoping too! Amber, if you tested last week, you could easily get a BFP now! POAS woman!!
 
DD, there was definitely a day of lovin'' the day before O, so I''ve got that to think on. Hm.
 
Whoa there ladies. I'm wanting to be psyched for Amber too...but she's 16 DPO, not CD 16. Is that right, Amberlina? Which is not to say that you shouldn't POAS again...soon!
 
Amber said she was 16DPO CD31 earlier today... I think DD accidentally typed CD16 instead of 16DPO
 
AMBER!!!!!!! POAS girl. Btw, I am usually a 27-28 day-er and I waited until like CD32 and I did not use first morning pee, totally POAS in the middle of the day. Your BFN was too early.

And in case you are wondering, I had NO symptoms at all until after I tested and even then it was only exhaustion (which is gone now) and mildly sore boobs, but not anything different than with AF.

I am hoping with DD.
 
Haha, thanks girls. If I go to cd32, it''ll be the only cycle past 31 days, and that 31 day cycle was the weird one in July, other than that, I''m almost typically a 28/29 dayer with a 14 day LP- since March, when I really started charting and temping.

I hope I don''t disappoint you guys when/if I get bad news.

Yup, typo... I still think that testing last week at potentially 12-14DPO was too early to be definitive! The only true BFN is AFF!

Don''t be silly! We are just reveling in the *possibility*!! Hope is always a good thing.

Impossible!
 
Awww Amber...I can''t speak for anyone else, but I''m used to disappointment by now! Lol, j/k, now go home and POAS!!

Hahaha, Inluv, it's hilarious because I'm not so much used to disappointment, I'm used to AFF coming on day 28 every month. So that's kind of creating a teeeeeeeeeensy bit of hope in me.

ETA: Looking at my cool FF "stats graph", I see I've had one cycle at 31 days, and all the rest were 27/28. So no 29/30 dayers ever. Hmmm.

I'm partially feeling crampy, but I also think it's mostly nerves and figment pains.

Exactly! If anyone can handle disappointment it''s the TTC ladies.
 
Seriously, I feel like one of those WWII wives who soldier on and go work in factories knowing any day bad news could come. Which reminds me that I want to buy A League of Their Own.
 
Goody gumdrops, maybe Amber will POAS today!! GOOD LUCK!!
 
Amber- Remind me, how long have you been charting?
 
I''ve been charting since March.

Also, when I went to the restroom, I noticed a little pink tinge. I don''t know what it means, but oh well. Time will tell.
 
Okay ladies, I believe Big Red is singing. The cramps are pretty bad, and the pink spotting has now turned to pink TP (god, the things I talk about now), and I''m sad.

Amber, that is so sucky! I''m sorry if we got your hopes up, but it is hard not to hope a little round these here parts. {{{HUGS}}} Feel free to ignore: but have you seen your doc about TTC yet?
 
Hi DD, the last time I spoke with my doc it was February. That's when I had all my tests run and everything. I supposed I should go back in, but my doctor is gone and I need to find a new practice to go to, and while I have my eye on a certain practice, I believe they're an IF/Obstetrics practice.
 
Amber It's poopy to have to find a new doc, but good you have an eye on someone already. With your charting and generally well-timed BD (give or take a couple of months
2.gif
) I'd be tempted to just bite the bullet and see a doc to see if they have any better answers for you and your DH. So many people we know of here on PS, and in my real life too, found out after a while of TTC that there was a simple answer to why it was taking longer than they had hoped. Maybe they will tell you to eat more chocolate!

That would be good news... tee hee Or they will tell your DH that he needs to watch more TV! I kid, I kid, but I know you like the gallows humour.
 
Amber, I''m sorry too. I feel somehow complicit in your sadness.
 
Amber -- I''m sorry if this is AFF showing up

Oooh, ladies no sadness for you guys! It''s nice to have people who get it, ya know? I emailed a pregnant friend of mine (the bump bully girl, also who happened to get pregnant accidentally) about how sad I am, and nothing. NOT A WORD. And I know she''s at home.... so... yeah, that''s a suck.

Don''t worry girls, I''ll be fine. I''ll look for a new gyno, and hopefully something good will come of this. And hey, I didn''t want an August baby anyway, that''s when Paul goes back to school, and it''d be nice have him work a month and then get to stay home for a few.

Yeah, that''s it.
 
My selfish vent for the day:

DH just called me to gently tell me that his brother & his wife are preggo. They weren''t trying. Apparently they went to a party, got tipsy & DTD sans condom just that one time. The brother says that they aren''t thrilled but aren''t upset. In shock I guess. They weren''t planning on kids for at least 5 more years. I am happy for them but sad for my darn self. All these ooopsies happening all the time to everyone & we (DH & I) can''t make this happen. DH knew I would probably be a little sad/jealous. I feel awful for being upset, but I can''t help it right now. I just keep having to tell myself that our time will come, this will happen.

Vent over...

Vent away. This is the place to do it! We completely know where you''re coming from and you''re not being selfish by venting to us. I can imagine it must be really hard when it''s a family member. I withheld my 3rd vent for the day, but now I''ll let fly: a guy at work got married one day before we did and has announced that his wife (who is 39) is now KTFU. Not a family member, and not an oops, but still...

Sorry you had to endure a similar situation. I know it sucks

Inluv, perhaps it''s my crassness speaking (and my overwhelming hate for people who get pregnant ONE TIME by ACCIDENT), but JESUS F*UCKING CHRIST, MAN.

That''s all I have to say about your in-laws. And yes, I really did say that out loud. Don''t feel bad at all, I''M angry and I don''t even know them, nor am I related to them.

Sometimes I kind of want to play the game I play with Woofie, just pretend I don''t want that toy he has (baby) and walk away, only to have him run up and give it to me. Maybe that''s how it works with babies nowadays? If I pretend I couldn''t possibly want anything less, maybe then it''ll come?

I got an email from a friend about this new ASFF (Aunt Super Fing Flow, named because it''s REALLY REALLY painful cramping as well as the MOST hated period I''ve ever had, since it seems she''s here with a vengeance), and all she said was, "I''m so sorry Amber. Really, just so sorry." And that made me cry. All day I''ve been fine, but those two lines and I''m now tear town? And why now? I''ve been a rock these last couple of cycles. Ahhh. someone slap me.

Festy, yesterday I got upset because my 21 year old cousin and her a-hole "FI" set a wedding date of 10/31 next year. Three days before ours. I''m petty like that.
 
Big Hugs to Amber and everyone else who is out this month, I feel your pain. Hopefully 2009 will be a big year for all of us. I am turning 30 early next year and have decided that if I am not KTFU by that time I am just going to go all out and celebrate it. DH has said he wants to throw a party for me (I hate surprises, so he wanted to feel me out) and I think I may just let him. At least I''ll be able to drink champagne!

I am on CD 84 here! Does it even count as a cycle anymore if you reach triple digits? I have been in a little bit of a depression over this and imagining all sorts of things about how I am never going to get KTFU and have pretty much given up on BD (I know that''s not the only reason to BD, but I am in a funk), but this week I am feeling a little better because I have a doctor''s appointment on Friday an hopefully she''ll be able to figure out what is going on. I find this all very ironic, a few years ago I would have been thrilled to have no AFF for 3 months knowing that I wasn''t preggo. Now it is the bane of my existence.
 
Awww, November. CD84?!?!?!?!? OMG, girl! Poor thing.

Don''t you hate how TTC is pretty much full of everything we didn''t want to happen before we decided to TTC?
