3 DPO anyone?! **12 BFPs so far & 2 lil angels

[Lenka78]

Hahaha, Steph, please behave, lady! Oh, I am so happy for you! Of course I am sorry for your nausea, but hey, it is ALL WORTH it!!! I can't wait when I join your pregnant gang.
Lindreed, please join our forum... Seems like all ladies get pregnant and leave, so I would love to have more supporters here.

Steph, I hope I o-ed yesterday or I am o-ing today. I had a very positive opk yesterday and today it is back to negative. Now I am going to keep my eyes on my temperature. I am a slow riser though. I am sooo optimistic about this cycle. We BDed quite a lot compare to my other cycles. This is lucky #7. And due date would be end of July early August, meaning a sigh Leo! My favorite.

I have applied for a health insurance in CA. So if nothing happens by January, I am going to see a FS then. FX!!!

Hugs to all.

HA!HA!! Yeah, Lindreed, join us!

Steph, punching the box gave me a laugh too. Too funny, but sorry you're getting too many raisins. At least you can pick those out if it's too much.

Lenka-woop woop on the positive. Good call on getting insurance and being proactive, but I hope you won't have to visit the specialist.

For Thanksgiving, hubs and I are going to my best friend's house. They have an awesome Thanksgiving, and LOVE cooking. I am just responsible for Rice Krispie treats (sans raisins!).

I woke up with an extremely high temperature today and my head has been HOT all day. I think I'm catching a cold, although I just took my temp and it's back to normal, so who knows what is happening inside my body. I also made my appt. with my doc for December. This is the CD10-12 appt. I hope my cycle cooperates with the calendar.

Terri--don't worry when I was not exhausted sick and hormonal, I did manage to pick out he raisins....I'm down to the bottom of the box and sure enough, 0 raisins. guess they were all at the top And that Thanksgiving sounds amaaaaaazing. Friends who love to cook...those are the best to keep around for sure! So did you end up with a cold then? Sorry about that...those are never fun.

Lenka- Congrats on the + opk! You're right, I am lucky right now...and you'll definitely be joining soon. Lucky 7 and bding a lot, that's for sure helpful! FX FX FX!!

 

[terripeachy]

Yeah, friends that cook are awesome! Now I'm not even responsible for Rice Krispie treats as my best friend's mom's family is in the Phillipines, so we're sending a huge care package to those in the tornado/hurricane zone. I get to provide supplies. I'll probably make those treats anyway since they're so yummy.

Nah..no cold. Not sure what's going on. My head was sweating like crazy yesterday and today, everything's fine. I'll just keep temping. Of course, I'm about to get on a plane, so I probably will catch a cold from all these new germs floating around. Booo…I hope not though. I don't want to be stuffy for Thanksgiving. I want to be stuffed and able to taste my food. hee hee.

steph - im sorry to hear how bad your nausea is. really sucks, but on a positive note, nausea is a good sign for pregnancy outcome.
I can totally relate to your hormonal outbursts. Pretty early on, I felt totally bloated and frustrated, i felt like i had already gained 10 lbs and was only 6ish weeks. I was hungry, but frustrated with the weight gain. I ended up throwing my toast at my husband and telling him that it was all his fault that i was gaining weight. The best was his response "it was and i did it on purpuse"

Lenka- yay for +opk! Hopefully this is your month.

terri- looks like your temp went up in your chart, looking good!!

welcome lindreed!

 

[Lenka78]

"it was and i did it on purpose"- lfrans, so well said by your husband. love it!

My temp went up by 0.5 this morning. Good, good, good...

 

[terripeachy]

That's great news, Lenka!
lfrans-At least your husband is keeping you laughing. That's great.

AFM-my temp dropped by 0.5. This is the longest cycle I have ever had, and it just boggles my mind if i think about it, so I'm trying not to. Prepared for AF just in case she shows up at weird time, and have 1.5 weeks before I go back to the doctor. My appt. is for CD10. My long current cycle is throwing that date off, but I can always reschedule. I just don't really want to.

 

[lfrans]

lenka - here's to that temp rising!! woohoo! FX

Terri - hmm... i was hopeful for you yesterday, your chart looked so good!! 1 temp on 1 day may just be random....

AFM- its been a long and crazy few days. We went to an open house on sunday, put on offer that same day and now 4 days later have negotiated to a price that we are ok with. We have the inspection on sunday. yikes! Its a solid home, built in the 60s, so a bit old, an older man was living there and the decor is quite dated. We hope that the inspection goes relatively well and there isnt anything shocking in the structure that will make us run. Its 3 bedrooms 2 bathrooms (and an extra bedroom in the basement if we need it). In a good location, quiet street.... Although the decor is dated, it is functional and we can live with it as is until we can save to renovate.

Also - I bought a crib! We were looking in stores with the intention of ordering late december early january. We wanted something that is made either in north america or europe. We trusted their standards. These cribs are quite pricy. We were looking into the cheapest models and they were ok priced. I ended up looking online on kijiji (a canadian version of craigslist) and found an ouef crib for 1/3 of the original price. We liked the crib and saw it was in good condition and picked it up yesterday.

 

[Lenka78]

lfrans, good luck with the inspection! The house sounds awesome, and you can always make renovations inside up to your taste, but you can never change location. FX! What color is the crib?

Terri, not to worry. Lets see what tomorrow brings! Hugs

AFM, I am 3dpo. Nothing to report.

 

[lfrans]

lenka - crib is white with a light wood base https://www.oeufnyc.com/theoeufclassiccrib.aspx#section=overview

We are going to use hand me down furniture for the rest of the room.

Hello ladies,

I'm new to this site, and hoping to join everyone in the TTC wait. This is my first post/reply/forum, so very much a newbie! My husband and I have a 2 year old daughter and this is our second month TTC. I am 5DPO.
Last night I had such bad cramps, felt like AF was on way- but I know way too early. Today they are gone and having some nausea. I think it may be way too early to experience any symptoms, but it is hard to ignore and not obsess! Hoping to go through the 2WW with you ladies and get some BFPs!

 

[terripeachy]

Hi Weewifey-nice to meet you.

Lfrans-That house sounds wonderful. It's good that there's only been one owner, and he's been there a long time, so you're less likely to have that many surprises. Our house was built in 1969, and yeah, things are still dated, but it's expensive to do upgrades all the time. As long as you can live with what you have now and it's a good price and in a good location, you should be just fine. Hope the inspection works out for you.

Lenka-Nothing here to report either. I hope my temp goes back up as well. It's kind of crazy how close we are DPO now that my chart changed.

 

[Lenka78]

lfrans, I loved the color of the crib!!! White is just so innocent and pure and goes with everything khe khe.

Terri, yes, we are so DPO close! FX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wee, welcome and good luck!!! How long did it take you to conceive your DD, if you do not mind me asking?

Steph, how are you?? Hugs!

 

[WeeWifey]

My daughter was actually a surprise blessing. We weren't trying to get pregnant, though I wasn't on birth control. I tracked my cycles to avoid pregnancy at the time... Though hubby's birthday came 5 days before O day, and it was then we conceived.

We are so thankful for our babe. This time is different because we actually get to go through the experience of TTC, which we didn't before. Although I can't help wanting to be pregnant right away! I am just so excited to have that BFP!

 

[terripeachy]

It's not looking good for me, Lenka. That stupid FF. If it never showed the crosshairs again, I'd be more mentally prepared for AF. I am pretty sure she's on her way. It's just a waiting game now. So much for being close together on DPOs.

 

[Lenka78]

Terri, I see that AF got you... Shoot. Hopefully, your doctor will give you some answers. However, I am sure there is nothing to be worried about. Hugs

Wee, thanks for replying. TTC is a tough process, it's like a monthly battle, at least for me.

Tynmeg, how are you??? Any news there?

 

[terripeachy]

This question may be kind of gross, but I don't know who to ask. So now that I will be going to the doctor and DTD within 2 hours of my appointment, do you think I'm allowed to take a shower after we get freaky? HA!!HA!!

I guess everything that she needs will be on its way north, right? I think I should be ok with a shower. What would you do?

 

[Lenka78]

I would take a shower BEFORE BD, not after. Then I would try not to pee before the doctor sees you if you can hold that long. That is what I would do. These doctors have seen so much in the professional lives, they do not really care, I think. )))

 

[terripeachy]

Yeah, they've definitely seen it all, but it's just kind of yucky. I'll take your advice and see how much time I have prior to going to the doctor. Maybe I can just do a quick wipedown. I also doubt I will be able to hold my pee. That's asking a lot! Have a great weekend. I will be checking in on you.

 

[Lenka78]

Terri, I just saw in another thread, that you bought some clear blue digital OPK. Was it digital? I have been using those for several months. They can be tricky sometimes, so if you have any questions, please let me know, so I can share my experience with you. I don't want to sound like a smart a*s, but you know what I mean.
Here is a link to a forum, where ladies express their concerns or provide advices regarding CB advanced digital.

https://community.babycenter.com/po...e_or_a_malfunction?cpg=34&csi=2420016957&pd=1


I have also been using ic (internet cheapies). This is where I get mine from:

https://www.early-pregnancy-tests.com/ovulationtests.html

They are much cheaper, like $15 for a bunch of them. I use one test around 11am and the second around 8pm, so I wont miss my LP surge. Love them. My LP surge is usually 24 hrs, which helps, as some ladies have it for several days. This is where it gets confusing. Or even a double LP surge.

So, the bottom line, I am here for you.
