[MemmaJ]

Oh it's definitely here now. Couple of hours after I posted, full flow!
Onto cycle number 9...

 

[tankel]

dangit ladies. I can't believe that af just busted past our defenses. I'm still waiting, but I'm pretty sure I'm out since I only bd the day after o (the day I think I o'd) and well, lets just say it was a turkey baster scenario.

 

[LiteBRIGHT33]

Alright ladies. March is our month. Going to bd my brains out for two weeks and make this happen! Hubby will be in heaven

Dill test updates??

 

[Dill]

Day 3 of tests, sample was dilute this morning because I CANNOT get enough water, I am dying of thirst! The Wondfo looked pretty much the same as yesterday, maybe a smidge darker, but the knockoff showed a big improvement in line darkness. I'm counting it as a victory (especially since doubling is usually at least 48 hours) and I've sworn off testing so I don't obsess over it like I did last time. I made hubby promise to keep me away from POAS unless there's a valid reason to, like if I start spotting. Happy happy!

For everyone out this month, MARCH ONWARD TO MARCH! Hang in there, cuz good things are on the way, and I will rub baby dust all over all of you like a wet dog on an expensive rug.

 

[tankel]

Oh rub some on me! I need it!

 

[Dill]

Oh rub some on me! I need it!

Bathing you in it!

Hi everyone! I am new to this site and thought I'd introduce myself. I'm currently nearing the end of my two week waiting period. My period is due tomorrow and I usually experience headaches, cramps, and spotting 1-2 days before it arrives (like clockwork) and I haven't experienced anything yet. It's amazing how my mind is going crazy, wondering if I could be pregnant, and trying to calm myself down and reassure myself that it's ok if I'm not, that there's always next month. Before we started trying, I repeatedly told myself and my husband that it could take a long time and it doesn't happen on the first try for a lot of people. Crazy how those thoughts fly out the window while in this 2 week waiting period. I always knew this process would be emotional, and now I understand why. These two weeks seem like the longest two weeks of my life.

 

[Dill]

It just consumes you! I didn't understand until I started TTC, either. Now I'm the worst I know.

How many dpo are you?

 

[tankel]

lgmge --

 

[lgmge]

This is probably a lame question, but I'm new! What does dpo mean?

 

[Dill]

dpo = days past ovulation

 

[lgmge]

dpo = days past ovulation

Oh! Makes sense, thanks. I'm 2 weeks past ovulation. Just took the test (twice) and it came back positive! I am having a crazy mixture of feelings....excited, terrified, sweaty palms, flushed cheeks, feeling like I'm going to faint! This is my first time becoming pregnant and I have no idea what to do besides freak out!

 

[Dill]

Wow, congratulations!

 

[veryblueapple]

Congratulations IGMGE! Count yourself blessed to get your BFP on the first month of trying, and spread some of that dust onto us! ����

Wishing a happy and healthy 9 months to Dill and IGMGE! ��

 

[LiteBRIGHT33]

Congrats IGMGE!!! Thanks for upping our bfp statistics, we were looking pretty poor.

This period sucks. Super heavy and painful. Hopefully it's the last cycle for a loooooooooong time!! AF, you are offically Banned

I'll take tons of babydust Dill, thank you for sharing.

 

[lgmge]

spreading lots of good luck wishes your way!!!

 

[Dill]

Alright, put on your raincoat!

 

[tankel]

I really feel pregnant...but I am probably getting my hopes up. I still have to wait 4 days to test.

 

[MemmaJ]

Congrats to you! And lots of luck Tankel, fingers crossed

I'm starting my soy Isoflavones for 5 days tomorrow (CD3) so will be interesting to see if they have any effect. Luckily I have lots of free CB OPK's to use this month thanks to the CB trial, will probably start testing around CD11 or something...

If all else fails, I had a chat with a private fertility consultant yesterday (aka one of my colleagues, lol), who says she's happy to book me in for consultation and testing/treatment when her new practice is up and running in a few weeks. Now where's that money tree.... :-/
