[krystinab]

Alley I think an hour is fine Hope you caught that eggy!

Welcome Poppy!

Lisa, OMG you had the fastest flippin cycle!! Are you testing in the morning. A toast to getting a BFP and not needing the RE. PLEASE keep us posted!

Sunny whats the deal? When are you testing???

AFM, well nothing...just ready to get on with the baby making...

 

[Sunny skies]

Lisa, only possible symptoms has been that I've been more tired than usual and have to pee more often. It might just be in my head though. How about you, any symptoms? When are you testing?

Krystina, I plan to test Thursdsy when AF is due but I do want to test early, just don't want the disappointment if you know way I mean. Are you using OPk's this cycle?

 

[threemakefive]

Lisa I really hope this is ur month!!!!

You are right...GENDER SCAN IN T-MINUS 12 HOURS AND 30 MINUTES!!! WOOOHOOO...my OH and son are going with me and neither has ever seen a sono so they are in for a treat

 

[BamBamsMaMa]

Lisa - Glad you had a nice weekend! S'mores... Mmmmmm!!! Yup, I had my mom made me Dong Quai soup the last few cycles because it's known to enrich blood circulation and something something with the uterus! Last month my mom was too busy to make me the soup and I definitely noticed AF was much lighter. Going to have mom make me some for next cycle, if there is one. I hope you get your BFP!

Kristina - Good luck this cycle!

Emily - Do you have a feeling or preference on the gender?

Sunny - You, Lisa and I are testing a few days apart. I am so scared to be disappointed again! Good luck with you!

Alley - congrats on getting some sperm in you!! Lol!!

AFM - nothing interesting... No symptoms I can brag about besides a few cramps here and there. My chart really looks good and it is quite triphasic but I actually feel discouraged. I have had good looking charts before where it resulted in BFNs. Hubby thinks we did it this month but I don't really think so. Beginning to feel like its never going happen for me. Going to test Saturday if AF doesn't show.

Alley - Hope you got your man into bed.

Poppy - When are you testing again?

May - Chart is really looking good.

Gemma - Really hoping for AF to come on for you! It'll prolly be the ch only time you want her right??!

Amy - It's all good. It's hard to keep track of everyone!

Emily - I think it's gender scan week??!!

Bev - Great news about the fowl! I bet it's really cute!! Is he/she standing already??

Sunny - Any symptoms yet?

Thinking of you Krystina!

AFM, we went and hung out with friends this afternoon that have a 9 month old little girl. It was great holding and playing with her. Just further confirms my feeling that I want to be a mother so bad. It also lets me know that we will do anything to make it happen as well. Overall great weekend. The S'more bar was a hit and we had loads of fun on the boat as always.
AF potentially due tomorrow. Guess we'll wait and see if she shows. Acupuncture went great as well. She gave me some Traditional Chinese Medicine to use once AF arrives. It's called Jia Wei Xiao Yao San (Modified Free Wanderer). So I guess we'll see how it goes. It has the Dong Quai that I think you use/used May!!

Hope everyone is doing ok?

I'm tested yesterday at 10dpo and bfn but not surprised. i had some very very very pale pink/peach thick pasty cm yesterday which I've not seen before. Not testing today but may tomorrow at 12dpo. I often spot before AF and usually spot between 3 & 5 days before which could have been yesterday and nothing yet...fx please!!

I've been having really mild cramps for a few days and seem to be quite tired since about 6dpo.

I'm not getting excited yet...the witch could still land on her broomstick.

Hi Ladies!!

Mega quick post before my laptop battery goes....

Welcome Poppy!! I updated the first page a few days ago but will add your name first thing tomorrow hope your SMEP journey goes as smooth as possible sounds like you have some promising symptoms already!

Sounds like we have a lot of BDing going on! gotta have another BFP soon

So not sure if i posted about it but my iron levels are low and i'm now on iron supplements and my belly is measuring a little under so i have a growth scan on the 30th..... we have moved out and completed our sale so now its mad rush time to find something in the next 3 weeks!!! ARRRGGHHHHHHHH.... 3 weeks with the inlaws going well it was my bday on the 18th so we had a BBQ with cake and peacan pie and hubby bought me a new laptop and a pink sewing machine to get creative with..... am going to upload some pics soon i PROMISE!!! and add some of the new foal trigger he is sooo cute!

 

[snowflakes120]

Well, ladies. No go on AF. Which I am super surprised about because I had pretty bad cramps last night (and I never ever cramp!) so I thought for sure thought I'd wake up to her. I plan on testing Wed. If the Walmart I have to go to on lunch to get hubby filler paper for school has the 88 cent PG tests - I just may buy one and use it tomorrow. I'm not too hopeful though!

 

[Sunny skies]

Emily, looking forward to learning the results of your gender scan, how exciting.

Beverley, congratulations on the house. Sounds like you have quite a busy schedule, good luck.

Poppy, sorry about the BFN, but it's still early, my fingers are crossed for you.

AFM, just anxiously waiting. Out of all the testers this week, hope we get some BFP's. Would be amazing if we all get out BFP.

 

[krystinab]

Happy Monday ladies!!

Lisa, I am soo happy AF hasnt come! So many of my firends who got pregnant experienced cramps so I am hopeful you caught that egg!! I am holding my breath until Wednesday!!

Bev, I hope everything goes perfect at the growth scan. OMG 3 weeks to find a house?!? SUPER GOOD LUCK on that!!

Poppy 10dpo is pretty early. FX you do get your BFP this cycle. Maybe your having implantation spotting? Do you temp?

Three- soo exciting!! Please post piks after the scan

May- Your chart doesnt look good, it looks excellent!! This has got to be it!

AFM, working from home today...had a wonderful day at church with my honey yesterday...I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders...I plan on being super positive this cycle. No room for negativety or doubt...I WILL GET PREG

 

[jrowenj]

Hey Ladies! Had my staycation last week, but had time to jump on BnB and lurk on my phone : )

Lisa - I am on pins and needles over here!!!!!

Alley - don't sweat having to pee an hour after sex! I've read about girls who have to pee immediately after sex because they are prone to UTI's and they had no problem getting knocked up!

Krystina - I love that you had a great day at church yesterday and feel more positive and weights lifted... that is so important

May - When are you going to test???

Emily - I bet its a boy and I can't freakin wait to find out!!!!!!!

AFM - had a very relaxing week with Kev last week. I really hated him having to leave me at 6am this morning. I feel so empty without him today because I got so used to waking up with him and spending the whole day with him! Ugh! Our staycation consisted of going to the beach, going to some local restaurants that we have always wanted to try, we went to the Dine-In movie theatre twice which is AMAZING and saw Dark Knight Rises and Bourne Legacy! Went to the outlets and bought the baby some adorable clothes! Saturday night, went to dinner with friends for my friend's bday then to a lounge on the boardwalk at the beach. Everyone was saying how good I looked with my belly so that made me feel great because I have been feeling kinda frumpy lately. We didn't do any renovations last week because we wanted to treat it like a vacation. Renovations start back up this week!

My parent's sold their house and they are getting a house built 10 mins from me, so they are going to live with us while it's being built. They moved in last night and plan to be out of here by Thanksgiving. YIKES!!!!!

Sorry for the long post. I'm quite chatty today!

 

[snowflakes120]

Well, I tested. BFN. Now I just want AF to show so I can get started on the IUI process.

 

[jrowenj]

 

[threemakefive]

Well, been a busy day...my birthday, my sons first day of school, started another semester at school for me.....and.......IT'S A GIRL!!!! OH is set on Zeeva Fawkes for her name but I'm not sure just yet lol and she looks great on the scan

 

[Sunny skies]

Well, I tested. BFN. Now I just want AF to show so I can get started on the IUI process.

Sorry about the BFN, it's not over yet though.

Emily, congrats on expecting a girl. Can you post the scan pic?

 

[threemakefive]

I will try when I get home but they aren't very good...not near as good as what we saw today lol

 

[BamBamsMaMa]

Emily - yay!! Girls are precious! Happy birthday!

Lisa - *hugs*! Don't lose hope! There's still a chance as long as AF doesn't show!

Kristina - I love the positive attitude!! Good luck this cycle!

Jaime - The dine in theater is my fave!!!! Glad you had a good staycation!

AFM I am getting really nervous. I am in the best mood ever today, don't know why and I usually hate Mondays. This morning I woke up with what looks like EWCM. Then at work, I had a glop of white CM that looked like cottage cheese on my toilet paper. It's not UTI or a yeast infection. And I barely get any CM even during ovulation. I am bloated and a little crampy today. Boobs a little sore. I am really hoping this is it but I don't want to get my hopes up. Today is only 8 DPO so I plan to test on Saturday before my road trip! I dont know if I can wait that long! Eekkkkk!!!

 

[krystinab]

Emily!! Yahhhh a girl!! I love the name Zeeva, do you watch NCIS? One of the characters on that show is named Zeeva

Jamie, what a nice staycation!! I am glad you had a good time. Hopefully with your parents in the house you will be able to get some rest! How are the upgrades going? I know you cant wait to get the contractors out of your home.

Lisa, I am sorry about the BFN, but I am excited about the IUI. Your chance of getting pregant are going to increase sooo much!!

Im being sooo lazy today...need to get my ass up so I can prep dinner...

 

[jrowenj]

Emily - WOOHOOO!!!! AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

May - I had the cottage cheese cm the whole week before AF was due when I got my BFP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Krystina - I would say I can't wait til the contractors are out of the house, but my husband is doing all the work hahahaha!!!!
