Twinsie !!! That is wonderful news, CONGRATULATIONS !!! How are you feeling?
Turtle, sorry to hear about your DHs SA results. Poor him, he must be feeling upset. The HSG sounds horrible but Im glad everything looks good for you. I hope the RE will be able to boost your spirits. In the meantime Id second (third?) what the others have said, supplements for your DH wouldnt hurt so do research the different options. As Twinsie and her DH have proven, it only takes one strong little soldier! Lots of hugs to you.
Katie, bummer about AF! A 31 day cycle is good though, especially if youre regular, you'll know approximately when you ovulate. With the OPKs, I used to test between 2 pm and 6 pm. You could test twice a day if you notice the test line getting almost positive, so you dont miss the surge. The SMEP plan is supposed to have great results :
Try every other day starting on the eighth day of your cycle. On the tenth day of your cycle you will begin daily testing with OPKs and upon receiving a positive OPK you will try 3 more days in a row. Skip one day and give it one more try.
Good luck !
Thanks for the birthday wishes ladies. Didnt do much during the day but we went to a James Blunt concert in the evening, it was fab! Not sure the American ladies will know who he is.
I dont really have news Still no symptoms at all (unless an upset stomach counts as one lol), before AF I have more symptoms. I spotted a bit for a couple of days (brown) and I keep feeling like AF is about to come. Ive started sleeping on my front on purpose hoping that Ill wake up with sore boobs but nope, theyre fine. On Saturday (15 DPO) I had a big temp dip so I asked DH to hide my thermometer and pregnancy tests. I might go to a lab and ask for a blood test in a few days if theres no change, Id rather know whats happening instead of getting my hopes up.
crystlmcd, cutie, hope youre doing well. Is it still very cold?
I didn't know you could find out the sex at 12 weeks!! That's mind blowing lol. I thought it was more like 16!? You must be so excited!!! Congrats.
made its way after all! 
. 
tomorrow pm, it's our our 2 year anniversary. 
cutie, congrats on getting good results from the genetic testing, and a baby boy, yay!
crystlmcd, 4 sisters, wow! I imagine it was loads of fun mixed in with some good fights. Looks like the cold spell isn’t over yet in the States? I’ve read that Manhattan is surrounded by ice because the rivers are freezing, that must be quite a sight.
Twinsie, how did you tell DH about your BFP? He must be feeling pretty proud of his tough little guy
2b4us, happy anniversary! Are you doing anything special (apart from the anniversary cuddle lol)?
champagnerain, good luck with TTC!
Katie, Turtle, how are you doing?
I’m officially in denial mode for some more time. I have no symptoms but I’ve decided not to get blood tests done because they won’t necessarily tell if I’m having a missed miscarriage again. I haven’t taken a pregnancy test again because I’m scared of what I’ll see. If I get that far, I might ask for a scan at 6.5 or 7 weeks, and in the meantime I’m just going to ignore it all.
Plus, I ADORE birthdays, so although Christmas is hectic, I think a potential LO would still be sufficiently celebrated...
Twinsie, I am soooo happy for you both! Last month, I started to imagine what that time right after getting two lines would be like for me, and I can't wait. To think that you're the only person in the world who knows there's a new person coming! And THEN to get to tell OH. Must be awesome! When I realized that if this cycle works for us, our due date would be at Christmas, I initially thought we should take a break trying. But then I thought how great the reveal opportunities would be for telling people, and I decided it's too good an opportunity to pass up!
...but a January baby would be cool too. Or February. Or whatever month that ends up working out!
Fleur: Are you really going to hold out for 7 weeks with no AF? You have willpower, woman. I'm going to be so excited for you when your sticky bean comes along. To see the happy posts I know you'll be writing is going to be great!
AFM: It snowed here last night. Again. It was only 3 inches, so we're not even counting it anymore. We only bother caring now if it's more than 6 inches. Happily, the fact that it snowed meant it was WARMER than it has been, so that's a bonus. I have a temperature read out on my dashboard display, and if the temp is lower than 37F, an exclamation mark icon pops up that says "LOW TEMPERATURE WARNING!". That icon has been up since December. It irritates the hell out of me. They should make Maine cars with lower thresholds! Like, 0F, maybe. I mean, the OCEAN is frozen here right now. 37F would be BALMY.
Have you guys started thinking up any names yet? In all seriousness though, I know how scary this must be for you so I don't blame you for being worried, especially with the lack of symptoms. Just try to tell yourself that regardless of what happens, RIGHT NOW you ARE pregnant. Or does that make it worse? 
I have everything in the world crossed for you that this one sticks!!!
Maybe it's because my birthday is in June so I've always gotten to celebrate Christmas and birthday almost exactly 6 months apart, so I feel that that's ideal.
