<3 <3 LOTS OF LOVE & BFPS <3 <3 February Testing Thread

[Smiles013]

Hi ladies....getting all caught up here. Lol

First hiya to all the new ladies!

Terri...yes be more diligent in taking your pre-natals and also take extra folic acid...us older women need that. Lol

ERose...glad AF really showed so you can get down to business. It's funny when I was younger I prayed she would come for a whole different reason! Lol

Oldermom...glad you got your validation and now hopefully you're on right road this time. FX everything goes well for you from here on out

Sis...if you end up with multiples you'll be able to handle it after completely freaking out initially I'm sure. Lol. Also LOVE LOVE LOVE the idea of the on-going group. You see I keep popping up here. I refuse to leave.

Ilovetomatoes...get out! I met my husband on POF too! Shut up! Lol. We met and almost a year to the day later we were married! I knew from the 1st date we were gonna be married. I didn't tell him that initially, didn't want him to think I was some sort of crazed freak! Lmao. We each already had kids but knew we definitely wanted to have at least 1 together to tie it all together and truly blend our families.

Hiya to all the other ladies and good luck with any upcoming tests, O'ing and BD'ing

Batty....where are you?

Katie - teasing us with a BFP!!! I have to work all weekend so I will be looking forward to happy news on Sunday!!

Sis - I love the meet for breakfast on IUI morning!! that is awesome!! 11 million post wash - you know you would think with 11 MILLION that there would be plenty rushing to meet eggy!! I mean 11 million is a lot of anything!! FX FX FX for you guys!!!!

Radkat - I too have my pineapple core in the frig... I will be testing that theory this cycle!! But since I haven't O'd yet...its waiting...

Ilovetomatoes - I too notice symptoms but my body has tricked me so many times that I just brush them off anymore... I have decided that from now on - no testing till AF doesn't show... if i test on symptoms i will test all the time!!! my hubby doesn't know when I test - I don't even want to tell him unless its a bfp (which hasn't happened) ... I dont want to stress him out with another thing...

Erose - Yay for AF... i know weird to say... I bid the wicked witch good bye today and tomorrow I should get my progesteron cream I ordered from New Hampshire... I am going to start mine when I get cross hairs too... can't hurt...

as for meeting the right guy - me and the DH started dating in 2001... yep 13 years ago in june... i was 28... we got married march 30, 2013... i can't tell you how much heart ache has happened in those 12 years before we got married and now we wonder about those lost fertile years.. we can't let ourselves be lost in the "what ifs" our family will expand... we just don't know the details yet... and in the meantime we are gonna and and enjoy each other!!

AFM - waiting for those OPK's to darken up and temps to do their thing...so we can do ours
happy Friday everyone!!

I met my OH online too- in fact, this weekend is the 1 year anniversary of our first date so we're going out on Saturday to celebrate! We moved in with each other 5 months after our first date and that's when we started TTC too, so it's hard to imagine moving things along any quicker!

 

[Mom2sam]

Hi so i caved in & tested altho knew chances wer slim this month & gt a BFN lol best just wait til AF now & try properly f next cycle. At mo on pregnacare vits, vit D (prescribed by doc), got my opks, preseed & will be following SmEP plan as worked f me last time & preseed helped last time too just inserted abit everytime around fertile days.

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Thank you for the inputs ladies! I have to agree with you ladies. I think stupid progesterone is playing with me. I am not taking any progesterone pills so far. Waiting for 2 more months before my OB refers us to FS.

Smiles, whaddaya know!! POF works!! ahahahah. Looks like we have the same timing too. I think I was the opposite. After meeting crappy guys for a few years, I was very pessimistic when I first met DH. I was in the process of moving on with my life. Adopted a dog and was getting ready to purchase a house. I had to change the time for our first date 3 times because I was stuck in the sales office signing papers for a house. Luckily, he didn't give up on me! He knew after the first date that we were going to be long term, and after 2nd date, he knew we were going to get married. I was a little slower...just a little....I think it took me 3 weeks and 15 dates .

Btw, I did try the pineapple core thing last month. I heard that it works with some ladies. Hopefully it will works for the ladies who are doing it this month!

Sis, good luck today! FX'd! I am excited for you!

To all of the ladies waiting for O. It's sexy time!!

To everyone else

 

[Fezzle]

Be careful not to eat too much pineapple core at once- I had horrible cramps the first time I tried it when I overdid it!

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Fezzel, way to go!! I wish we started TTC earlier. But DH wanted me to get my bunions removed first, which I agreed because they were hurting me. 9 months later, here I am .

M2S, we tried Preseed last month and both of us didn't like it as much. Also tried softcup (i am a monthly user of softcup so already have it handy) and I loved it actually. No leakage during the night! I tried to do the SMEP method but not very successful. Oh well. We had fun anyway . FX'd AF doesn't show for you!

 

[Sis4Us]

Yes I need to go buy a Pineappple

Not sure if u know Radkat but it needs to be fresh Pineapple and u have to eat the Core the hard Chewy part!!
I usually cut a few pieces in 4s and put em in a Baggy and eat one a day for 5-7 days!!

I will start that group since I'm Veggie on the Couch watching Cupcake wars DH said no painting today !!!

Fyi I'm not afraid of Multiples I would love Twin girls to even out the Testosterone Around here I'm Afraid of 2-3 of my LO hes a Hyper Emotional handful Smart as a whip w a grown Mans Humor ...but I love him all the same!!
I just keep thinking about my Triplet cousins and think oh Man!!!

Hey ladies - finally got a chance to pop over here and catch up. I am a trial attorney and have been on trial all month - got a verdict in my favor yesterday (defended an OB/gyn in the case of the "stolen uterus" from a 58yo lady - poor OBs are sued so much.)

congrats Futuremom! Sis glad the IUI went well, FXed for you.

Was a group thread started - let me know the name of it and I'll sign up.

AFM - I had a tiny bit of spotting yesterday morning (which I normally dont get) so assumed AF was here. Flash forward 30 hours and still nothing else. Guess I'll test again tomorrow morning. Appointment with the doc on Monday either way. Hopefully he'll have some answers about why this is happening...

FXed to the first Feb testers!!!

 

[Sis4Us]

[terripeachy]

Glad you made it over here moni, and wow! Trial attorney. That's a difficult job, but glad you won! You did an awesome job, I'm sure.

Fezzle-Happy Anniversary!!

Mom2Sam-sorry for the BFN.

Sis-No painting today is right. Too funny about sitting around watching cupcake wars. I'm a chopped/cutthroat kitchen girl.

Ilovetomatoes-Your temperature REALLy jumped, but I only have one chart for reference so your progesterone is probably very good/high and that's why your boobs hurt. I think I have medium to low progesterone so my temp doesn't jump very high and I have no symptoms. Let's hope all is well and your temp stays high.

Smiles-I think it's so cute that you're still temping. Lovely chart! I've been doing great on my prenatals. When I was on BC, I took it every single day at 7a, without fail, so I'm doing the same thing now. If they make me tired, I'm at work, so that's perfectly fine if I'm slowpoking. hee hee. So far they haven't made me tired. I think the relaxed environment at home causes me to snooze more easily after I take them.

Everyone else-Hello!! Nothing to report here...just waiting to go to the movies tonight.

[Sis4Us]

Yes it does thanks Wish I'm a Lil Dingy today think I'm tired!!

I might have to paint later I need that room finished so I can move onto DS2s room
**Vintage Comic strip** Zapp Boom Wham!!!

 

[Wish4another1]

Sis - I was just clicking on things and found it...

 

[terripeachy]

I found it!! I'll see you over there...but we can still hang here too, right?
Thanks Sis and Wish!! You guys rock!

 

[Sis4Us]

Yes this is a Testing thread the group will be around Month after month!!

 

[ttcinseattle]

ERose, so glad AF came for you and that you are going to start the progesterone after cross hairs. Between the Clomid and the P, I think you're right, Feb will be your month!!!

Terri, I agree, get on top or that prenatal! Might be something that small and silly standing in your way.

Katie, I've never seen a bigger tease!!! Will be obsessively hitting refresh come Sunday, good luck! I think it's so sweet your hubby wants to be there for the POAS action.

AFM I heard a strong healthy heart beat this week! And I have an ultrasound and blood work Feb 6th. It's the nuchal measurement, chromosomal testing appointment, so once that is done I will feel huge relief.

Good luck to everyone, especially you Sis! Go, 11 million little guys, go!

 

[terripeachy]

Sis/Wish-Aha!! Gotcha...

Awesome ttcinseattle! That is so great that everything is going well so far, and thanks for the kick in the pants. Yes, I might as well be diligent and stop being such a whiner. Thanks to you and Smiles.

 

[Sis4Us]

Thanks TTC
I made a group for everyone come join us so we can keep up w U Preggos

 

[Lyvid]

Hello Ladies! I would love to join you on here! I finally got CH's (dotted) today and FF says I'm 3dpo. Since they hit on CD19 of my 29 day cycle I will have a super short LP *sigh* So please add me for testing Feb 6 (although, if I'm honest I will start no later than Monday at 6dpo )

I've read this whole thread and you all seem like lovely ladies! And like many of you, I feel so much more at home here in the special section for us over 35's!

A little about me, purple is my favorite colour too and was our wedding colour along with hunter green. I'm an expat from England living in SoCal. I was on this board three years ago when TTC my first and that DS will be 2 in 3 weeks! I'm 41, DH is 48 and we're giving it a go for #2 (for me, DH has 2 grown kids from previous marriage).

I'm charting and will gladly share soon as I can figure out how. I'm a POAS addict, using Preseed (last time we used ConceivePlus) and Softcups (someone mentioned the no leaking bit, that's what I love so much about them!) and praying for a BFP!
