Come on girls! Let's make some January babies!!!!

[tmcrowe]

I am also trying for a sibling for my little girl. Came off birth control in February so this will be the third cycle trying. I am a little nervous as the previous times we tried (I had 2MMC before daughter) we fell pregnant first time.
Hoping it happens soon, as I am trying to stay relaxed and let things happen naturally (I know if I start temping etc I will become a little obsessed)
Baby dust to us all, and happy baby dancing

I completely understand what you're going through! I too am trying desperately not to be lured into temping/testing/etc.. It's so difficult & stressful watching and monitoring every detail! After my EP early last summer I have been so nervous, not really sure what to expect. We've been very fortunate and then out of the blue i'm pregnant, and it's ectopic. Scary! Best wishes to you!

aww, well whatever you feel you'd like to share really. I guess its me being nosey but I do enjoy reading of success and happy endings my auntie's (soon to be ex) hubby adopted her two kids, and what ive come to learn in the past few years is that no two families are the same. My hubby is 18years older than me and he had 4 children from his first marriage. The boys are now 23,22,20 and his daughter 16 and Im 28 so some would say that was strange but nope, we all get on like mates (well we only see the 23&20year old boys, the other two were very much poisoned by their Mum-loooong story) the boys absolutely dote on our LO, their baby sister, they spoil her rotten and she loves them to bits! They live in a different county about 1.5hours away but we still see them a couple of times a month they are fine with me and for us, its normal, we wouldnt have it any other way. Xxx

I married my high school sweetheart when I was 20. 2 years later we had Dominic. When Dominic was 2, I caught him cheating. We stayed together for 1 year, and I just couldn't forget, and I miserable. So we divorced. I made him pay for the divorce, because I wasn't the one that broke my vows. He agreed and our divorce was final in 07'. I was in another relationship by this time, but that relationship to came to an end. One day when he picked up Dominic for his visitation time, he gave me the "I miss you , and our family, I'm a changed man" crap and I fell for it. He moved in with me 2 months later. Everything was fine, we decided to try to conceive a sibling for Dominic. So we tried for 1 year, and conceived Malakai. When I was 8.5 months pg(and on bed rest for pre term labor) with Malakai, he came home from work and said we need to talk. he then told me he no longer loved me and I needed to leave (we had leased a bigger place together, him being the leaser, and me being co-leaser) so I packed what I could and left. I received a call from my best guy friend, asking what I was up to a couple of days later. I told him. And he just let it all out. "I have loved you since the day I laid eyes on you, I just never acted on it cause I didn't want to mess with our friendship. But I am tired of standing by and watching you get treated like crap. You know I love Dominic, and I would love the baby just the same, just please give a chance to show you I love you and want to take care of you" GOD LOVE HIM. He was there the day I gave birth, he is the one that drove me to the hospital when I went into labor. He was the one that chased off my ex when he showed up to the hospital with his new gf with hickeys and scratches all over his neck (TRASHY)...but anyway....fast forward a bit....after my ex realized how happy I was, he tried starting a whole lot of crap, trying to get my 6y.o. at the time to say he wanted to live his daddy, and just a bunch of crap, I told my ex he would have to take me back to court to get any changes made. He then proceeds to tell me he no longer wants to see either child, we will never be able to co parent successfully, and send him the papers and he would sign his rights away. He hated me so much he couldn't stand me. Well, syanara F***er! I don't need ur ass anyway! Right?! How do you raise a child for 6 years and just drop off the face of the earth?! So...long story short, he is 32 years old, has given up his 13yr old dtr from a previous relationship, and my 2 children, and father a child prior to Malakai that he has seen twice. And from the grapevine I have heard, he is about to adopt his gf 3 kids. Really?

So, thats the story! Much happier now!

Wow! Sorry, not trying to ease drop, but it sounds to me you are much better off without him anyway! I am happy you have found happiness with your husband now, and he loves your children as if they were his own! That's truly amzaing!! Best wishes to you guys in conceiving!!!

Really, it's no big deal...If I didn't want anyone to know, i wouldn't put it on a public forum. Just here looking for E-friends to talk to on my TTC journey!

oh wow! I could write about what a total ****** your ex is but id much rather comment on your OH! How lovely is he? Im so glad he told you his feelings when he did, awwww and you had no idea? Wow. anybody can be a Dad but it takes a real man to be a Father! sounds like you are defibitely best off without your ex! awwww. Xxx

He's so totally not what I had expected. Watching him in his other relationships, and actually being in a relationship with him. I have never felt so appreciated, loved, and beautiful in any relationship I've had. He's just an all around good guy. Wouldn't trade him for nothing. And he is sooooo good to the boys. They get the daddying that they deserve. He is really all about them. And it helps sometimes that he is just as big a kid as they are. 32y.o. and gets down in the floor and plays hot wheels and video games with them. We've been married for 2 years together for 3 and i am still just on most of the time. It would make me so happy to give him a child from his own blood. And would like to have another baby to tie us all together even more.

Holy crap! Positive OPK today on a NATURAL cycle without meds! This hasn't happens to me without the help of Femara since I began tracking my cycles last October!!!! I've had ewcm for the last 2 days, and my cervix is soft and high! I can hardly believe it. Figured I'd sit in limbo fo a couple weeks, take provera and start my next medicated cycle. Can I join in? I'm on CD21, really hoping I get that temp spike soon and get a miracle January baby!!

If it's a dr says to take take a med to start my cycle (cause they have been totally wonky) and then cd5-9 on another round of clomid 50mg. meaning on to cycle #14...Uuughhhs.

Good morning ladies! Glad to finally get a day off!

 

[starbaby2404]

So, last night i had this dream that i woke up this morning and took a pregnancy test just for the hell of it. In the dream it was a and i immediately texted my DH a pic. So, with that being said. My cycles have been really wonky, and the dr. still really doesn't have them pegged, only been seeing him for a few months. this month, I started spotting on the 5th, nothing on the 6th or 7th, spotted on the 8th and 9th, and full flow bleeding from the 10th to the 19th. Dr gave me clomid 50mg and told me to start it on the 10th, saying that the spotting on the 5th was day one of my cycle. fromthe 19th on DH and i have been like crazy, every other day if not everyday. The dr. told me on Thursday at my last appt that i should test on May 6th, and if its take the med he prescribed to make me start a period. With all that said, do you ladies think it's too early to take a test now? I have been fighting the urge to go POAS all morning thanks to the dream. Would be totally bummed if it was

That's a crazy cycle... I always thought you never counted the spotting and only the first full flow day.... You could test but be ready for a BFN because it may be WAY too soon.

 

[starbaby2404]

because i don't know my O day, I surely hope and pray that sometime during that crazy we caught the egg. There was plenty of waiting for her.

 

[starbaby2404]

Gonna start opking next cycle if I don't show up pg this time.

They've been crazier...In August I bleed for 28 day straight...and i'm talking heavy, crazy. but prior to that i hadn't had a period since june. and following the August bleeding my old dr did a d&c and i didn't have another cycle until end of october. I've had a period of some sort every month since, but nothing as far as a

any chart stalkers online and willing to stalk my chart and tell me their thoughts?

I havent gotten any clear positive opk but had "almost positive" on cd 13 and then again on cd16 [yesterday] thoughts? are we bd'ing enough? once a day as opposed to twice a day?

 

[burgbrandy]

I don't see o on ur chart yet. Once a day is plenty. Some women do every other day even.

 

[Laurana]

I don't see o on ur chart yet. Once a day is plenty. Some women do every other day even.

I have heard every other day is just as effective as everyday.

But I'm way too obsessive to follow my own advice.... I tend to needlessly worry that I'll ovulate just as the last little spermy kicked the bucket. ;-)

 

[burgbrandy]

Lol. Dh & i bd pretty much everyday, even when not ttc. Lol.

 

[live_in_hope]

Lol. Dh & i bd pretty much everyday, even when not ttc. Lol.

bloody hell girl! Really! I wish I had the time! Lol wish we did do it more though! Xx

Hey ladies! Wow seems Ive missed loads today! seems like a long day at work welcome to the newbies who've dropped in! :wave:

Ive been slightly twingey today and slightly tingly nipples fingers crossed! Hoe the symptoms keep on coming! xx
