Cycle 1 day 1. Who's with me? *update* It's a girl! Congrats baby_bray!!!

[moter98]

berdc99 - wow, your tests look great! getting darker. so excited for you!!!!

 

[Twinkie210]

berdc- your tests are looking awesome! Have you been to the Dr. yet? Mine has offered to do blood tests and and early U/S next time I get pregnant, which will be a huge relief, instead of waiting it out until the 10 week mark like last time (didn't make it that far anyway!)

I decided not to test today. I didn't want to ruin my birthday with the possibility of a BFN, so if I my test is +, it will just have to wait a few days!

How is everyone else? It sucks having long cycles, it seems like I am always behind everyone else! Has AF left for anyone? Is anyone doing anything different this cycle?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

AF is still here. Hoping she will depart tomorrow or the next day. I am going to chart. lol Let's see how I can screw this up. I am kinda confused by this cycle. It was only 23 days. And I am usually 28 on the nose. Even after my Chemical and MC it came back on the same day of the week. I am sure this is due to my MC and D&C, just hoping it will regulate so I can get my BFP. I don't blame you for not testing. This cycle I won't test on christmas day. Would ruin the whole day. Still hoping you get your BFP. What a great late birthday present.

Thanks!

Well if I go by my normal LP, AF should be due Wednesday, Thursday at the latest. But... if soy helped lengthen my LP Saturday will be 14dpo, so I guess she would be due in a week. I will probably test Wednesday or Thursday, if AF doesn't show. I always have spotting before AF too, so FX'd I don't get any spotting in the next few days either!

It could be that you didn't actually O this cycle, some people take a couple cycles to regulate their hormones... or maybe you O'd really early?? I hope this next cycle is more predictable and lead to a BFP!

Hi all! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TWINKIE210!!!

I'm on CD2... still a ways to go before I get to do anything fun. DH is getting antsy, he was quite upset about not catching our first cycle ttc, so now he's determined to 'try harder'....

Unfortunately, I probably won't know before x-mas one way or another... but that's okay, we should hopefully know by New Years eve, which would be fantastic.

Menb - I never said hi!! So..... HELLO!! :wave:

Berdc - Your tests are looking great! I'm sure that you're going to have a very happy 9 months. You'll have to stick around so we can all live vicariously through you.

My DH was the same way the first couple months after our MC... now I think he is tired of BDing! He won't give up (that is a man for you!), but I think he wants to see two lines as much as I do! LOL

well, another day, another bfn. i wasn't gonna test today, but this morning i got my 3rd higher temp and thought, maybe this is it. wrong! FF says i am possible triphasic, but since this is my first time temping that could just be normal for me. feeling pretty down and stressed out today. it's getting to be too much all this ttc and opk's, taking temps, hpt's, watching what i eat and drink just in case i'm pregnant, dtd on certain days. geez, it's been over 6 months months now, not sure how long i wanna keep this up. i'm thinking i will give it another cycle or two and then we are going to take a break. not to mention all the stress from the siding mess we are dealing with. turns out everything has to be taken down and redone. we are having a technician come out this week to confirm it and then we will have to pay out of pocket for someone else to do the job right, then sue to get our money back. my glass is half empty today and that makes me sad. i have been doing so well with staying positive about everything but today i'm gonna just let myself feel down.

It sounds like you need a . I know how you feel, although I have only been at it 4 months. It does kinda suck the life out of you. I really hope you get your bfp. And if nothing else we are all here with you. More .

thanks! yes it does take it's toll. man, how can getting pregnant (and staying that way) be so hard? 16 year old girls do it all the time without even trying.

I completely understand your frustration! Next month will officially be 1 year TTC! One year of obsessing over my cycle that what if I pregnant feeling... it really starts to get to you after awhile!

 

[menb]

I totally understand. My hubby and I didn't actively start trying until August and got preg right away. Then lost the little one in Sept. Then did it again in Oct and lost #2 in Nov.

Sure does take its toll. But, that's why we have and join great, support groups. Now, we know we aren't alone.

lol I was just reading an article about a pregnant teen getting stopped by TSA for a camo purse with a metal gun on it.

you are so right menb. this is a great group of girls and it sure helps to have the support of others who have been going through the same thing.

 

[menb]

Speaking of teens: my hub and I are youth leaders at our church and one of our former youth (she's 20 now) got pregnant the same time as our first pregnancy in August. I've been helping her as much as possible, but it just hurts sometimes, ya know? Friday she called me to ask if she could use my pregnancy books, "since you don't need them right now." agh. I know she didn't mean to say anything so hurtful cuz she has no idea of our struggles, but man I sure do just want to her.

Thanks! They say it can take up to a year for healthy couples, but it does make you doubt yourself! I hope I don't make it to that 1 year mark! But you can't lose hope. I may have said this before but I know a lady who tried for 7 years, did IUI and in vitro and nothing took, they decided to start looking into adoption and she got pregnant naturally and her son just turned one! So all we can to is keep trying and hoping for a BFP! We will get there!
