[tulip11]

I am really disappointed ...I think so it will never gonna happen to me...I think so I am not so lucky to be mum...I cried alot but thanks to my DH who said dont worry...I cant see you crying ...but I cant control myself as my friends asks me when ill you announce good news ? like its in my hands huh...my three friends have announced their good news recently they have conceived very quickly ...

I understand thats the worst!!! One of my really good friends got preg right away after getting off BC. And she keeps telling me I have to hurry up and get preg too. And just this weekend at holiday party ppl were asking when are you two going to start making babies? UGH its so hard!!!

yeah hun exactly thats what one of my friend was asking me a week before she is 3 months pregnant...

I dont know why FF removed solid line and shows cross hairs on cd 13 when I entered spotting on cd 34 ...isnt this strange ?

Tulip-Maybe you were meant for September then!! My DH, his brother, his dad and his cousin are all within days of each other in September. Our current "bun" is due on his sister's birthday in August. His cousin (who has the September birthday) has a son who's birthday is the day before DH's sister's. So I'm hoping for the day after her birthday to complete that month too I think it's kinda fun to have that happen. So fingers crossed for your little sapphire baby!!

Sometimes that program is so strange. I would've put your OV at around CD17 or 18 just based off of your temps. But that's just me

yeah our wedding anniversary,me and my DH birthdays all three things come in september

 

[chartay]

so sorry tulip... I feel the same way. We've been ttc-ing for 10cycles (not counting 1yr of NTNP before that). Since we started trying, multiple friends have announced their good news. I'm happy for all of them, but to be honest I'm also very green with jealousy. I'm hoping that one day it will be my turn.

The other day, our good friends asked us when we're gonna have kids because they want to plan a group trip with us, but don't want me being pregnant to get in the way. I know that none of them have even thought about the idea of starting a family, but I didn't even want to get into it... I just told them to go ahead and schedule a group trip and I'll join them regardless... I'm not upset with them because I also used to think that people could have babies on demand, but now that I'm in the position that I am, I know to be way more sensitive about the topic.

Amen. I will NEVER ask someone ever again when they're going to start a family. We still get asked it all the time because "you've been married for 4.5 years, don't you think it's time" F-Off people!!! Everytime I post a new picture of DH & I on Facebook, one of his friend's from high school comments on it that we would make good looking babies, we should get with it already.

I want to punch her.

I think chartay might be right about your OV date being around CD17. I was just reading the Fertility Friend guidebook and it says "Even if you are no longer seeing fertile signs, you need to keep having intercourse until ovulation is confirmed by a sustained thermal shift. You can be reasonably sure that you have ovulated once you have three high temperatures following fertile signs. Ovulation occurs on the last day of lower temperatures."

I don't chart, was really against it to start with - but think I may do it for a month, just to see if I'm interpreting my body's signals correctly. There seem to be mixed results (some do great with it, and some it seems to cause more stress than it relieves). I just happened to be reading the booklet in another window when I saw this post, so take my $0.02 with a grain of salt.

I caved in and tested this morning - 13DPO.

I got a faint positive - not entirely faint, but not dark either - somewhere in the middle. I have had no symptoms. Didn't really have a good feeling about it working out.

About an hour and a half ago I started having brown spotting - now a small amount on a liner

Started the morning trying to think a fun way to tell DH tonight, but now I just have to tell him what's going on.

 

[Try2findbaby]

Thanks ladies I would rather see AF than see a BFN I dunno why but think it is less upsetting for me!
So IF AF has not shown by Wednesday which will be 16dpo then I will test
I have never seen 14dpo before tho AF is like clockwork for me always has been

ladies and

Completely know what u mean twag! I would rather see af than bfn - not sure why though?! Fx for u and others when they test, I'm hopefully o'ing now and usually have short lp so ill catch up soon no doubt

It's a difficult thing, the best come back I heard was a friend of mine who had severe endometriosis tried for 5 years or so, this lady asked her why she hasn't had kids if you've been married for 10 years seems a bit selfish, she said not everyone can have children, it shut the women up straight away and made her wish she never said anything. I thought yep that's the way to tell them straight! She did have a little girl fortunately (an amazing surprise for everyone)! I get asked by people who have kids and I want to tell them we are trying but I don't because they really shouldn't be asking when it's such a personal subject it's not like deciding to have a family is an easy thing to decide like buying milk and bread but they make it seem like they are doing it so should everyone else! Folks we are trying or maybe not!!! Please leave us alone, it's hard enough looking at cute as button children and yearning so bad for your own one day!

 

[Try2findbaby]

I know what u mean belly dreams - I work in a dept store and they've put me in the kids dept a few times and it breaks my heart. I keep cooing over babies and the baby grows, newborn especially.... I need to stop because I probably look like a psycho to shoppers! Fx for all the testers tomorrow and congrats to the 10 so far - we're averaging one a day! That's soooo exciting!

 

[koj518]

bellydreams - that's heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time!! People really should just mind their own business...!! But I'm so glad she had a baby eventually!

So I have just discovered something... this month, I used OPKs for the first time. I started at cd6 because I had NO clue when I O. I had a slight surge a CD13 but it didn't look like a real positive so I kept OPK-ing just in case.. well, I just took a test and I got a undeniably positive OPK at cd19 (of 29 day cycle). I've noticed a lot of EWCM like CM the past several days and I've noticed it in previous cycles but I never made much of it because it wasn't clear like other's mention (its more yellow tinged and creamy looking). Now I know that I have a short LP (most likely 9days)..

I'm glad I took OPKs this cycle... I would've never known. I think I'm going to talk to a Dr. now.. things just got very real...

I'll attach my OPK progression. The last one is the one I just took so its clearly very wet and fresh compared to the other old and dried up ones...

I am really disappointed ...I think so it will never gonna happen to me...I think so I am not so lucky to be mum...I cried alot but thanks to my DH who said dont worry...I cant see you crying ...but I cant control myself as my friends asks me when ill you announce good news ? like its in my hands huh...my three friends have announced their good news recently they have conceived very quickly ...

It's hard not to be sad, I know, but just keep your head up! It will happen for you eventually. I had 5 ppl I know recently announce that they are expecting and as happy as I was for them, it still broke my heart. There's always next month for us!!

 

[Cutler101]

Anyone had really bad headache at 4dpo ?? been having my headache since 6am and its annoying

 

[babysaa]

Hugs Tulip!!! Trying and stay strong as you continue to try. A lot that our body does has to do with our emotions and feelings. I know its hard each month when AF arrives but for me i give myself 5 mins to just let it all out and then i move on and i get excited again to try for the next month. I always try to find the positive in everything even in the worst case i just think i was meant to go through that in order to learn something else down the road. Stay strong girl! I was hoping for that Christmas BPF but when that didn't happen i started to think....what's more magical during the holiday season knowing that i got my bfp or that i conceived a little angel during the most magical time of year!

GL hunny...FX 2013 is going to be a good year for us xoxo

 

[michaelap]
