DTD for a 2011 BFP

[loolindley]

Well I'm two days ahead of you...8dpo. We only got one well timed bd in during my fertile period, so I'm not overly optomistic, but we will see!!!

I had an upset stomach for just under two weeks, so wasn't feeling 'in the mood'!

I went to a christening yesterday, and spent the whole time on the verge of tears. There we so many babies and toddlers there, and my neice for some reason cant stand the sight of me, and her face just crumples and cries. It breaks my heart, and I wish I knew why. Anyway, the second we stepped out of the christening party, I burst into big, noisy, gasping for breath tears. I know I was just having a bad day, but we decided to make an appointment to see my doctor, and beg him to refer us to a specialist. I know it's only been 10 months and they like to leave it a year, but there is obviously some reason why this isn't happening.

Going to make the appointment for after AF is due though (at the latest on Saturday)....forever the optomist!!!!!

Aww Loo, I know!
We did real well BD 5 times only missing the day before O (I think anyway) I tried soy & evening primrose oil this time (and preseed... And proping my hips up-- I know, I was not messing around!) but the soy & EPO did weird things to my CM watery instead of my routine EWCM so I dont know if that's for the better or not???

 

[fisher640]

today at 8 dpo. I know. Early and blah blah blah. I couldn't stop myself "".

My chart looks awesome (- but my chart always looks good. )
I only tested so early because we're leaving for a mini-trip to a friends wedding tomorrow morning before the crack of dawn. We won't be back until June 13th and is due June 11/12th ish at which point I won't technically be "late" but I'd be late for me if it hasn't started by our return trip. I'm still having weird on/off mild cramping that I've had this entire luteal phase - another side effect of the soy & EPO? I don't know but I've never had that before. I usually get mild cramping a few days before AF, but this has been on and off for the past 8 days... none so far this morning though.

I've also attached a photo of the gift I MADE for the baby shower I went to last week. Because that's how I keep myself occupied waiting for my own is obsessing over baby items and knitting... I've got another baby shower coming up in another month.... I'm jealous

 

[loolindley]

That hat and booties are just too cute!!! You are very handy with the knitting needle obviously!!!

Your chart looks awesome. Ive not been temping, as it stresses me out too much with my bonkers shift patterns, and I don't think I get a correct reading because of that anyway. I would have taken a test by now, but am on 4am get ups (last one tomorrow!), and the last thing I can be doing at that time is poas!!! I'm going to do a test on Friday morning, as we have a house full of visitors coming for the weekend, so it'll be nice to know one way or another....at least if it's a BFN, I can comisirate with a drink or 5!!!

Have a fabulous weekend, and I am keeping my fingeres crossed for both of us....I wan't a report after the weekend!!!! xxx

 

[loolindley]

Could be freaking out a little here.......I've either had an evap today, or my very first bfp!!!! Im going to be cautious at the moment, and say it was an evap.

Just thought id let you know.

Also. We have an appointment at the doctors tomorrow evening at 5.30, so hopefully will get a referal. Please keep your fingers crossed for me

 

[katiekittykat]

Best of luck with both Loo!!!! I really hope this is it for you - test again tomorrow xxxx


Just an update from me - after some spotting last night, I had an emergency scan this morning, and everything was fine! I still have to go for my dating scan on 20 June, but they've put me at 10 weeks and 3 days!

 

[loolindley]

Sorry to hear about your spotting babe, but glad everything is ok.

I will defo be testing again in the morning. I did 2 tests today. The first was at 10.30am. I was at work at 4 this morning, so had a wee then, and then not again until I tested, so it was as good a fmu. I only glanced at it, and didn't see anything, but when I had a proper look about half an hour after I saw the faintest of lines, so About 12 I squeezed out another pee, and seemed to get a slightly stonger line after about 5 mins.

So they very much could both be evaps.....although I have never, ever had one before!!

I'm trying not to get excited, and I have not told my OH because I don't want to get his hopes up, but I am really holding out for at least a faint line in the morning! This is our 10th cycle, so I am so ready for this!!!

But like I said, we have a docs appointment at 5.30 tmoz afternoon, so I think I might keep that regardless. What do you think?

Oh my god. Keep everything crossed for me!! We have friends (5 of them) visiting over the weekend, and we are all a load of p**s heads, so I have no idea how I will be able to hide it and get away with not drinking alcohol all weekend, but I guess I will know more in the morning.


Eeeekkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[fisher640]

Just spotting this far but I'm having bad cramps, 9dpo, that's three days early and the first day of our vacation! So not fair!

I thought it would start the day before we headed home, I only packed nice underwear

 

[fisher640]

Loo, I really hope it's ur BFP and you can skip the whole specialist referral business!!!!!

Glad to hear everything is okay Katie!!!

 

[loolindley]

Fisher, I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope it doesn't ruin your weekend too much.

Mine must have been evaps as there was nothing this morning. Will do another in a bit, but it was defo a bfn this morning. Humph!

 

[katiekittykat]

Sorry to hear that Loo - keep testing until AF shows up (let's hope she doesn't )

Go to your docs appt anyway - it did the trick for us!

Good luck Fisher

Hooe u ladies dong mind me gate crashing but....Omg loo. I had a dream last night u got a bfp and now I have just read this thread!!!! What tests u using?? Try fr xx

 

[loolindley]

Hi Gill!

Well AF showed up about 5pm on Friday (just before my docs appointment!), so we went and begged him for a referal to a specialist, which he has done.

I'm ok, just a bit, you know..... and really hormonal, so I just want to burst into tears. It'll pass. Onto cycle 11 (I think!!!) x

 

[fisher640]

I'm glad you got your referral loo, but I'm sorry that you needed it

I was pretty hopeful this month only to be dashed again

I'm still feeling a little low and haven't gotten my mood back up after my PMS with AF.

 

[loolindley]

I feel the same Fisher. It's such a rollercoaster, and because I get a little bit hopeful every month, I end up falling that much harder....but I need to feel hopeful, because thats what keeps me trying. I don't know what the waiting list round here to see the FS, but fingers crossed it's not too long, because I should imagine it's a slow process once you get going (only being able to work cycle to cycle).

I do have some exciting news though...

Al has asked me to marry him. We are a very laid back and low key couple, so although I have accepted, we are keeping it to ourselves. I hate being centre of attention, and even hate the idea of 'engagemet'. To me, it's about being married, and not the wedding as an occasion. So we have decided to keep things quiet now, and in March or June next year, we are hiring an RV, and doing a road trip around western America......and going to have a Vagas wedding!!!!!!!! We are obviously going to tell our parents before hand, but the idea is that we just come back, and tell people that we got married!!!!

I know it's not everyones cup of tea, but the thought of having a big wedding in front of my friends and family is enough to make me never get married, so this is perfect for us! Al wan't a party when we get home, which I am not keen on, but I guess we have to compromise somewhere!!!!!

I've told Al no engagement ring, as I wouldn't be able to wear it anyway without people finding out, but he wants to buy something to make it an occasion. We will see!!!

So now the tricky part. We can't book our road trip until 6 months before, because if we do get preggo, we won't be able to do it, and I also wouldn't be able to fly in my last 3 months, so that just leaves us 6 months at the most between booking and going, so we just need to decide when we are going to do it now!!!!!

I'm really happy about it, I just hate the fuss...so you lot are the first people I have told about it!!!

 

[fisher640]

Gah! I just typed a whole reply and my phone refreshed and lost it!


Yea Loo! that's so exciting, im glad you've got something good going on this month!

Sorry for the delayed response, we were in California for that wedding and I've been working nonstop since I got back. I've never been to Vegas but were actually planning on going in July (haven't booked it yet though) so I'll let you know. I think eloping and a party is the way to go. Strong work. We had a small wedding but I could have easily been persuaded to skip it. How long will you be in Vegas for? Are you traveling around also?

Where are you in your cycle? I'm CD9 and starting to see signs it's time to get to work again.

 

[loolindley]

Hi Fisher.

I'm cd11 today, and just realised I only have 3 opk's left, so just ordered some on line!! I won't bother starting them until cd15, as I know I don't O until at least cd17, and it's been later than that for the last couple of months.

I've got a letter from my hospital this morning saying they have been informed by my doctor to start proceedings as it were, so it's just a case of sit tight and wait for an appointment. We will still be going for it in the mean time though!!!

I'm glad i'm not the only 'freak' who doesn't want to make a big deal out of things. I know my mum will be ok with it, but we are dreading telling Al's mum because her world will come crashing down around her!! She will want to do everything, and will be so disappointed that she will not have any hand in the organisation. (I have to say I'm more than a bit relieved!!!!)

You will have to let me know what Vagas is like, though we will only be spending a day or two there. Our plan is to take two weeks, hire an RV, and start in San Francisco. This is where I would have idealy got married, as I think it's just the perfect place, but it just seems a little difficult to get everything inn order, and much easier to do it in Vagas. Anyway, from San Francisco, we want to take the coast road (road 1) down to LA, Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, then back to Vagas, Death Valley, Yosemite, and back to San Francisco. We are being quite relaxed about it though, and will change our minds to suit us. Al asked where we would be spending our honey moon, and it appears it will be in death valley (!). Ha! We may have to alter that a little!!!!!

Anyway, enough of my road trip rant!!! Go forth and multiply!!!!!!

 

[fisher640]

That sounds like a totally awesome trip. We were totally just in San Fran for that wedding! We spent a couple days in San Fran and a couple in Napa Valley (probably the most well known wine producing area in the US) we liked San Francisco we drove the coast portion of the 'famous' scenic 49mile drive that loops by the golden gate bridge and starts down highway 1.

First BD today and I told DH it's expected at least the next 5 days!

I wonder though if the ongoing school stress is impacting me not getting pregnant, I just feel like school gives me a constant low level of anxiety :-/ I don't finish that til next year I just wish this would work. And soon. It makes me sad and stressed to have AF show month after month, I'm having trouble getting a positive attitude back.

 

[katiekittykat]

Massive congrats Loo! Your plans sound fantastic and I know you'll have a fabulous time xxxxxx

Good luck with the FS referral too.

Fisher - best of luck with the BDing this cycle - I have everything crossed for you.

 

[loolindley]

How are you getting on Katie? I guess you'll be starting to tell people now? How exciting!

I know exactly how you feel, Fisher. It just gets harder and harder each cycle, and I think that is hard enough, never mind being a student on top of that.

Wish I had a magic wand :-/

anyway, it's that time of the month, where Al thinks all his Christmases have come at once just wish I wasn't on earlies! *yawn*
