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

[terripeachy]

Oldermom-Yeah!! I hope that is the answer to all of your prayers. Glad the consult went well. Now, to hope the people in Dubai(?) can get you an appointment quickly! So exciting.

Fezzle-Yay for temping. hee hee. We (and mostly me) are such nosy ladies. You can always wait until you're over your cold. No pressure! hee hee.

Wish-Were you born in Bmore?? hee hee. Sounds like the perfect colors to me! I like all colors really, but purple is my #1 fave.

Sis-I thought that's what this thread was for. JUST KIDDING!! I love that idea. I would love to stay with all of you chicas. And obviously, I can't get enough of you, either. And garfie can stalk us along with Momof3, even though she'll be back in the game in no time now.

We did the post coital exam, and that was just as bad for my hubs. He was nervous leading up to it, and an afternoon quickie isn't really on his radar. He has to "unwind", etc&#8230;but we got it done, and hopefully won't have to do another anytime soon.

School starts for me tonight! I am only taking one class this time around so I can do well. Plus, I want to have more time doing stuff with my husband, and school prevents me because I'm a nerd and read and do homework and study quite a bit. I just wish I didn't have to park down the street from school. It's SOOOO cold outside.

 

[Sis4Us]

I will start working on a GROUP thread soon!!!

We will still have the testing thread but I figured we could have a GROUP thread to stay together thru the thick and thin and so we can see Pics of Everyones Lil Babies soon!!

 

[Sis4Us]

Oh yea Got my Trigger shot and P Today even w the Ice

School is suppose to Be open Tom so I should make it for my scan after The Repair Guy leaves!!!

Erose forgot to mention about DH and the OPKs I can only imagine him staring reading and reading more His Army over obsessive self wouldn't give up he went to 2 Targets
Went to 3 stores in All and still forgot stuff that's why I do the shopping!! He gets a E for effort!!

 

[SweetPotatoPi]

Love your group thread idea Sis .

Hope you're having fun your first day back in class terri .

VJean, I've read those tests are pretty unreliable so definitely don't feel too much of any kind of way before getting the real deal .

Hope your appt goes well Thursday Fezzle .

Back to the grind for me .

 

[Radkat]

Wow, you all are moving fast on this thread!

Terri - Good luck with starting class. Sounds fun.

Erose, et al re: SA - Too funny. I think my OH would be on the end of performance anxiety, but he definitely has the "man" stuff going on with that. He doesn't have insurance so it'll be interesting what we'll do if we get to that point.

Older Mom - I'm glad you got your testing cleared. And I love the analogy of the prostate exam. Sometimes they need a little reality check.

AFM, the last 24 hours has been some ups and downs. I was excited last night to get a positive OPK. I'm CD14 and the earliest I've gotten a positive is CD16, so that seemed good. OH and I BDed the night before the positive by chance, last night, planning to tonight (which will be rough since I work late). 3 nights in a row is about my limit. But maybe tomorrow too? So I was motivated by the positive OPK and decided to call my ob/gyn to make my annual appointment and to talk about getting hormone testing. They tell me that she's only taking pregnant patients. Only. Even though I've been seeing her for a few years and she delivered my daughter. Seriously? So I've been calling around trying to find an ob/gyn who accepts new, non-pregnant patients. I've had bad luck with this in the past. Seems to be the crappy drs who are taking new patients. I got ahold of one place that was available, but they didn't have the schedule ready for March (umm, really?) and I have to do March for insurance purposes. Super annoyed. Sorry for the rant. Thanks for listening.

 

[Sis4Us]

Radkat Wow really crazy about the Dr..... I think I would call back and let them know the difficulty U R having finding a new Dr and how much you would prefer to stay w her as u R TTC and will be a Pregnant patient soon!! GL

 

[Esperanza1000]

Hi everyone, I am new to B&B. 38, first time TTC, cycle 4. Please put me down for February 14
I'm wondering how to deal with the TWW.. On the one hand not thinking about it at all would be great, but that's not real possible is it?

Because of my age I'm not telling everyone about it, as I've seen from here and others I know that TTC can take a long time or a little.

But not talking about it can be a bit lonely.

So I've joined here in the hope of some camaraderie

Baby dust to everyone, look forward to seeing some Valentines BFPS (no expectations, right?! )

 

[Blueshoney]

Erose-I have seen BFPs with a temp drop in the charts that had a late BFP. It was mostly charts that received a BFP on DPO15-17.

Esparanza-Welcome! I haven't told anyone either. I think my family thinks I don't want to have kids because I waited for the right time and person. I'm so glad we have this forum so I don't feel alone in this process. These women are amazing!!

 

[Sis4Us]

Welcome Esperanza will add U and GL!!!

 

[Sis4Us]

Well I got some EWCM after Bd...It's On...bet I get a ++++ OPK in the Am!!

Yay for the positive OPK...boo for the doc! Only taking pregnant patients?? You would think being a previous patient of hers makes you a patient of hers.... Ah, the medical profession has been going crazy lately. Sorry you got the brunt end of it!

That is why we come here, Esperanza! Welcome!

 

[Esperanza1000]

Thanks so much for the warm welcome

I'm pretty sure I O'd yesterday, normally don't feel anything but could have sworn I felt a light stabbing feeling in my lower right abdomen. OPK said I had a surge, & temp was higher today. BD'd this am, and the night before yesterday, so it's possible.

What kind of projects and interests do people busy themselves with to make the 2 weeks pass faster?

This whole process reminds me of dating. You know, you like a guy, you go out, and you hope he'll call you back.. But you have to wait.. And try not to care. Keep living your life. That seemed to work when I didn't care anymore, but it's hard to imagine getting to that point with TTC ?!?

That sounds pretty silly with the doctor, sorry to hear it. I agree, if you we're a patient before, you should be accepted.

 

[Dylis]

Welcome to the newbies and let's bring on the BFP

Garfie I spent a year persuading my OH to go for a SA he finally went in November but won't go for results now

Do you think the doc's office would release the information to you? If they won't, maybe you could have your OH fill out the paperwork so that you can.
That or use the prostate exam analogy...it works pretty well!

 

[Clare1974]

Morning all. My temp has risen a little this morning - if it does the same tomorrow I get crosshairs for Monday (CD18 - only a day or two late). I couldn't get OH to comply at all last night, but to be fair he is on the graveyard shift this week and it's a nightmare with a hideous amount of driving so he's beat all the time. He's off the weekend though, not that I shall be fertile, but it will be nice to see him for more than half an hour.

Garfie - I'm a bit of a newcomer to Lincs. Been here 7 years this year, but originally from Hampshire. I'm in a village near Grantham/Sleaford

 

[terripeachy]

Hey Esperanza and welcome. During the TWW we just talk to each other, and keep up with everyone else's life. HA!!HA!! Do you track your cycle using Fertility Friend?

Sis-Woohoo for your scan and and future +opk and all the other good stuff going on with you.

Radkat-What kind of mess is that? How can you be a patient, but because you're not a pregnant patient, she won't take you. I agree with oldermom. Call back and tell them that you WILL be seen because you're going to be prego soon.

Clare-Here's to hoping those crosshairs come soon.

Dylis-My sister's hub did the same thing. He's scared of the results. Honestly, I don't think she really wants to have kids. She'll be 43, and he's such a baby, she is just hoping it happens magically. She's on the NTNP plan, which is weird to me. hee hee.

AFM-School was great. I think I will really like this class. But most important, it's CD13 ya'll! My temp is back to where it should be and tomorrow I should have my spike.

 

[Fezzle]

Welcome, Esperanza! I'm trying for my first too and will be 38 in a few weeks. We're starting the process of looking for a house to buy this year (we rent right now) so that's keeping me occupied for now!

 

[Sis4Us]

Wow Fezzle GL w the house we just moved B4 Xmas and I must say the stress was NOT helping hopefully it will be easy sailing for U!!!

Looking at my Moon Calendar I realized that it's a LEAP Yr whoop will add our Lucky Leap Day!!!

 

[Fezzle]

OH is the kind of person who panics if he sees something he likes and thinks someone else will get it first, so I have a feeling it's going to be stressful!

 

[ERosePW]

Hi Sis, did you get a + OPK today? I don't see a pos or neg on your chart. I think you have a scan today too, right?

Dylis, my Dr's office released my DH's SA results to me over the phone. His results came back fine, so I dont know if that makes a difference. But they didnt seem to have an issue telling me.

Welcome Esperanza! I'm 37 and TTC#1. Terri is right, I think we spend most of our TWW talking to each other, lol. To be honest, I decided early this month that I really do need another project. I work a lot, so luckily that keeps my mind busy, but then I get on here a bunch even when I'm at work too! It does help a lot though.

Terri, so glad you're liking your class. I see you're getting serveral pos OPKs in a row again. Looks like your LH surge is just going to last a little longer again. I bet you'll O today, and get a temp spike tomorrow.

Fezzle, GL with the house! That's definitely a good project to keep your mind busy.

Hi to everyone else!! Hope everyone is doing ok.
