F.A.I.T.H. (Forsaking all, I trust Him)

[mommahawk]

Well, my plan is to test on Sunday...12dpo...as AF usually comes between 9-11dpo...we'll see if I can wait that long!

 

[somedaymama]

fx'd for you!!

 

[mrskcbrown]

Thanks, somedaymama, for the welcome!

mrskcbrown: you have the will of a saint, girl, to hold out that long!!

Today my symptoms are still:
*AF-like cramps (I usually only get them after she's arrived)
*Backache
*Sleeplessness
*My children & husband would probably say irritability (actually they would probably say I've gone mental at times ) but I'll never admit to it!
*Vivid dreams

My CM seems to have dried up a little today (have been feeling very wet) and my bbs are still tender, although not as much so

GL to us all!!

Yes I think I have gotten the will because I use to POAS as often as I could! After getting bummed so many times, I decided against testing earlier than expected. Your symptoms too sound promising!! GL!

Hi Ladies! Just popping in for a quick non-ttc testimony. My husband was a little on edge when I got home from work yesterday. We live in a duplex(renting) and our neighbor(also renting from the same person) recieved a letter stating that her home was being foreclosed on and they had 30 days to move. So of course we're checking our mail, looking outside for any notice that might have blown away, just trying to figure out what was going on. Our property manager didn't have any info on it as she herself was waiting to talk to the actual owner. So we had to wait. Now, i'm professional at panicking. Seriously. But I went to our room and sat down with my husband's bible. I opened it up where he had is book mark. All I saw on the page, in red letters, "Where is your faith?" (Luke 8:25, kjv). God can and will do it! We heard back from our property manager that our home was safe, we do not have to move. Unfortunately, our neighbor does have to move. I'll be praying for them because they will need it. But wow God will show up at the right time,everytime!

Be blessed and fx'd for all you ladies testing over the next few days!

Wow! So the landlord apparently paid the mortgage on your half but not on the other half?

I just love when God gives us amazing promises to hold on to like that. Isn't He good at providing! It's great that you guys don't have to move! Too bad for your neighbor though.

Well, from what the owner told the property manager, she was doing a loan modification with the neighbors part of the property and it fell through. I feel so bad for them because they have 4 children, 2 in elementary and 2 little ones. They are rightfully distraught.

[im_mi]

oh thats awful, your poor neighbours! of course its wonderful news though that your home is safe

 

[xxJennaBearxx]

wow so many of you seem to be having such good signs of that christmas bfp!! i hope everything works out just right for you!!

 

[somedaymama]

DH and I looked at baby Christmas clothes at Walmart tonight. I don't know why we torture ourselves!

So afterward I was walking around thinking about being okay with not having a baby for awhile, trying to talk myself into it I guess. Then I saw a young girl who was quite pregnant and I almost cried. I don't know what's up with my emotions lately.

 

[xxJennaBearxx]

someday- we all get emotional sometimes. its been a rough day for me as well, iv been pretty emotional, but thats all do to AF dropping off an early christmas present any day now :doh: the joys of being a woman. (sarcasm) ill pray for you to have strength.

Its just that we want this so bad! My emotions are haywire today. I dont know why. Im really nervous about not getting a in 2 days but I just keep praying and reminding God of His promises to His people. I guess either way, I will know something in 2 days!

 

[Willynilly]

still no

now five days late - but temp dropped yesterday - still above coverline. 18 dpo now. based on the current state of my acne - I would think she's coming by at least tomorrow.

i hope she hurries it b/c i figured out my next AF date will be on my 30th bday - Jan 8th! i just KNOW it will by my best bday present ever to get my

Someday - sorry - and I know EXACTLY how you feel.

MBrown - hang in there! two more days! this is a big weekend for all my FAITH girls!

 

[mrskcbrown]

Well I was calculating my cycle on www.babymed.com and I realized that I am about 12 DPO, and not 15 like I thought. I guess I counted wrong. I think I had those O pains on thanksgiving day but I know that I could have possibly O'd 12-48 hrs later which put me around the 29th and 30th. So I am happy about that. Cycle due in 2 days but I may try a FRER in the morning. I will keep you girls posted!

Be blessed! Thanks for listening to my rants and rambles!

 

[mommahawk]

Good afternoon, girls!

Well, my temp dropped a little today, but not too much...it's still a little disheartening though...still feeling the backachey crampy stuff, and my bbs are a little tender although not as much as a couple of days ago.

Last night I was nauseous after my dinner, and for the past couple of days I range anywhere from no appetite at all one minute to being really hungry the next...I'm feeling a little like a crazy woman too, all emotional and all!

Then, I did a really stupid thing last night
Yes, I did, I tested...at NIGHT...on only 9dpo...and of course BFN...what was I thinking?!?

Anyway, I'm feeling back to OK today and telling myself to get back to the original plan...stay sane until testing on Sunday.

And, if my temperature will stay up for just one more day tomorrow, then no matter what, I can count this month a success because I will have increased my longest charted LP by a day!! See, you gotta look on the bright side of things, right? Right!??!

How's everyone else feeling today?

 

[Guppy051708]

OMG! WillyNilly your chart is look absolutely beautiful!!! only one more day of a high temp and i think you've got yourself a !!!!!

Mrskcbrown, everything is sounding fantastic for you! I think you'll be getting your very soon!!!

Well girls, my chart took another downer today I am sad about it, as AF is due on Sunday...and for the last two days my temps have been dropping.

I guess i should point out that my apartment was cold last night...dont know why. I think there is something wrong with the heater. Also, i went to bed with wet hair (it was still damp when i woke to temp). So i think the combo of cold air and wet hair = lower temps. I fell back asleep for 3 solid hours and i took my BBT again. It was back up to 98.10! (and my hair was dry, go figure). I know this wasn't the usual time that i temp, but i've noticed with my temps that as long as i get the full 3 hour block of sleep in, than my temps are pretty consistent. Im not really as worried much about my temps now that i have realized these environmental factors. I am hopeful that they will go up tomorrow.

i def. know what its like to be pregnant, as i have been pregnant before, And i know for sure that i am feeling the same way this month. So im still hopeful.

What do you lovely ladies think? Please tell me the truth. I can handle it...

 

[somedaymama]

Your chart is looking, willynilly!! fx'd! I know you said you didn't "try" much, but from your chart it looks like the one BD was timed well.

Guppy, don't give up hope yet! You don't have to keep a triphasic chart to get a BFP. And you're only 8 dpo, right? You're still in, girl!

mrskcbrown, hang in there! I hope you see a tomorrow!!

mommahawk...stay away from the tests until Sunday! lol...I know how disappointing the can be.

I'm feeling great today. You guys much think I'm such a roller coaster of emotions because one day I'm so depressed and the next I'm so hopeful. I'm much more stable in real life, I promise. LOL. Anyway, I'm volunteering at the crisis pregnancy center today, and a lady who used to volunteer here brought her baby in that she adopted a few months ago. The director told me about how the lady had been trying for some time to adopt a baby, and she (the director) had been praying that she would get a baby. Not too long after she prayed, the lady and her husband got a baby to adopt. So of course I said well pray for me! So she did, and it was the most comforting prayer. She referenced these verses from Deuteronomy:

If you pay attention to these laws and are careful to follow them, then the LORD your God will keep his covenant of love with you, as he swore to your forefathers. He will love you and bless you and increase your numbers. He will bless the fruit of your womb, the crops of your land—your grain, new wine and oil—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks in the land that he swore to your forefathers to give you. You will be blessed more than any other people; none of your men or women will be childless, nor any of your livestock without young.

Of course this verse is speaking to the Isrealites (sp?), but I'm claiming it as my own!

 

[Guppy051708]

Thanks hun! I know it doesn't have to be triphasic, but if my temp keeps falling, then it basically means AF. Though i am confident my temp will go up tomorrow. There is no way with all of these symptoms i am having that im not pregnant. I just cant forsee getting a negative HPT.
Yes, i am only 8 DPO, but i also only have a 10-11 day Luteal Phase. I am testing on Sunday, but Sunday is the day the is due. Basically, if i had a normal 14 day LP, than sure, at 8 DPO it would be okay, but the fact that i am only 2 days from AF is a worry to me. But i am keeping my head up and staying in prayer. I really feel like im gonna get a so i do believe my temp will rise tomorrow.

 

[mrskcbrown]

Well I tested today with a FRER because the suspense was killing me and Im about 12 dpo and ! I wasted my money. I bought a 2 pack, so I guess Ill take the next one on sunday/monday! My boobs are still hurting very intensely but Im just preparing myself for my cycle to come.
We have been trying so hard since March! First on our own, then fertility specialists, semen analysis, and nothing!! We have the option of IUI but that is definitely a last resort.

Im bummed!

 

[Guppy051708]

Im so sorry hunni
But you still have a lot of hope out there! And tons of girlfriends praying for you!
I know you're gonna get that
Sunday will be here before you know it and both of us will be frantically posting our happy news on BnB!
