<25 BFPs!! 12 births!! Welcome to the world turtle babies!>

[HollyMonkey]

Is that list complete enough for you?

Fabulous, thankyou! It's perfect, I'm sure we'll all enjoy reading that one
Quite alot was going on in your 2ww one way and another. Oh what a thing of beauty is an hpt with 2 lines on it! Your photo inspired me to go and double check my pee stick of this morning (I kind of get attached to them, I throw them away at a moment later on in the day when I feel emotionally ready to) on the off chance that BFP's are contagious. (like Molly's flu that Crunchie's got now and the general insanity of this thread) But, Alas, it's still negative, not even an evap line

And don't worry, you'll just have a bigger, fatter positive tomorrow, so enjoy yourself on !!!

All right ladies, I'm here. I had a crazy night. I didn't go to sleep until 0100 and then both my girls woke up 2 hours later not feeling well. I spent the next 4.5 hours taking care of them; they were asleep and then awake every 45 minutes or so. This is going to be a very lovely, all day.

I tested this morning Considering that I am 13 dpo with AF due on Friday, I'm fairly certain that test isn't lying.

LittleSpy! Ha! We told you!! Congratulations sweets that is AMAZING news! I'm so happy for you!

Aw sorry for the BFN, and for your girls being unwell- nothing serious I hope? You must be exhausted. I'm one of the cynical ones who would also feel that a BFN at 13dpo is there to stay, but I have read about lots of women who get them later, but if your O date is certain it probably should be showing on an 25iu test?

In fact, big moment to all of us, for BFNs and BFPs alike!

 

[LittleSpy]

Now wait a minute -- if implantation happened at 10-12dpo, which is very possible, there's a huge chance you wouldn't get a bfp until after 13dpo.

 

[Mollykins]

Aww HollyMonkey- I love that you are rational. I had the same thought as you- (I am 90% certain of my O date and I used a 25 miu test) - it should show up as a positive if I am in fact pregnant. I've been doing this long enough. TTC that is. Ahh well, time to be a duck and let it roll off my back like water.

 

[Mollykins]

LittleSpy- Are you being optimistic?? You are right though, implantation can occur anywhere from 6-12 dpo and the act of your little bean snuggling in and firmly implanting can take UP to 4 days (bizarre) AND furthermore, it takes 48-72 hours for enough hcg to build up in your system to register a positive if you are in fact pregnant. At this point though, I am going to wait on AF who's due to arrive Friday.

 

[LittleSpy]

I think it's a good idea to wait until AF is a no-show just so you don't drive yourself nuts testing every day. If I got a negative today my *plan* was to wait until Saturday which would've meant AF was *for sure* late before testing again because it's almost unheard of (three times in the last 14 years) for my cycle to go longer than 28 days.

No update for me girls. Just got back from the doctor, and he says its nothing more than a yeast infection. i guess that's a good thing since i was concerned it was something far worse. AND i was too chicken to ask for a pregnancy test. Guess I didn't want to feel silly asking for one since my period won't be due until sunday probably

And thanks for the note HollyMonkey, I've been able to check in a lot more frequently today

No problem, your boss was quite alright about it really, and said that you can have the next 2 week wait off as paid holiday in order to concentrate on your own, and our, symptoms more fully.

I do have my lucid moments (going to see if my peestick had turned positive in the wake of Littlespy's BFP was not one of them!) and I agree with Littlespy about late implantation but I know if it was me I would be waiting for the witch.

 

[kit_cat]

Sorry about the Holly and emandi.

Not so much to report from me. Still feel like could show any moment, my temp is up, my boobs still hurt, I'm crampy and bloaty, and gassy. It's lovely, really.

Oh yeah.. AND I GOT A THIS MORNING!!! HOLY CRAP!!!! So, you ladies were right, I was wrong.

It's still very faint but even dh can see it! Oh, and as far as romantic ways to tell oh, I apparently chose to do it by waking him up waving pee on a stick in his front of his face screaming "I think I'm pregnant! Holy cow! I think I'm pregnant!" Nothing more romantic than that, right?

OMG Littlespy!! Sooo happy for you, that's fantastic news. You did present a pretty convincing case of symptoms, so Holly was right to bet on you and Molly certainly did the correct math!

So happy for you again.....take care of the "two" of you x

 

[Mollykins]

Newbie- when are you going to test again?

 

[Crunchie]

Ok sulk over !!! There is to much love in this room ..... Ahhhhhhhh 2 bfp's xxxxxx how lovely

 

[Mollykins]

2 bfps = Kit and LittleSpy. I figured we should be keeping track.

 

[Essie]

Oh yeah.. AND I GOT A THIS MORNING!!! HOLY CRAP!!!! So, you ladies were right, I was wrong.

Congrats Littlespy, so pleased for you.

 

[HollyMonkey]

I just had a lovely raspberry ripple bubbly bath and felt myself fill with optimism for the next round, and I really hope to share it with you gals. True, Kitcat and Littlespy have moved onto greener pastures, but it could be us next time grazing over yonder. I have objectives and resolutions for next month:

1)Put on weight-I'm a lean whippet and apparently this can affect fertility,(that avatar monkey to the left reassures me that it is nonetheless possible) I do eat loads but I move alot (no car and 3 bikes!) but goal is +2 kilos!

2) Eat eggs and sunflower seeds- apparently Vit E content helps fertility

3)Grapefruit juice for CM

4)Reduce caffeine and alcohol even before 2ww (maybe not during AF, lets stay realistic here)

5)Humm I don't smoke, so I guess 'don't start smoking' is my goal on that one. Probably the only one I'll manage!

6) Buy a CBFM, if that counts as an objective! Not sure how to hide that one from DH though. "oh no it's just my new i-pod darling; yes! that's right, you recharge the batteries by weeing on these inserts- isn't it clever how they've harnessed renewable energy sources now!"

Please share if you have other things for my 'Inevitable Baby' list

 

[Mollykins]

All right ladies... it's over, for me anyway. AF just arrived, in the middle of the day and 2 days early no less!! Off to the store for tampons and ice cream... and maybe a special drink.

Still cheering for you lovelies left!

yes!!! thanks!! u rock

 

[newbie_ttc]

Newbie- when are you going to test again?

I was thinking about just waiting for AF, since we only bd'ed once, 3 dbO, i never figured my chances were that great to begin with. Now... if my temp does a 'LittleSpy' I may test Friday with u guys

 

[Crunchie]
