Just checking in before starting my crazy day today... here is the reveal shirt i made and the dress I made for her to wear at the party!!!

So cute Pink...awwww....she's gonna b lovely...make sure to get plenty of pics of the reactions...lol

 

[TheTiebreaker]

5stars- I have never taken two different kinds of opks. I wish I knew something that would help. I would just say bd a lot and watch your natural body signs. FX!!!

Pato- my husband knew I was pregnant before my bfp. I am hoping your DH is right for you too!!!! FX!

Pink- that shirt is adorable! That is going to be an awesome reveal!

I love this group too! I have never posted on a thread before, just read them, but you all seemed so supportive that I knew I had to join! Thanks for being there for me!

Those are cute!! You are so creative

Is anyone 9dpo? I don't feel preggies anymore Lol, but have been since 1dpo-8dpo

 

[FLArmyWife]

Welcome Thandi. Is there a test date you would like me to add you too?

 

[AmberDaisyDoo]

Hi everyone, I hope you are all well?

Pink that vest is adorable ! How very sweet.

5stars I have never used that type of opk I don't know how it works sorry. Hope someone else does and can answer for you.

I love this group too, I really missed the reading when I was out of action for a few days.

AFM: took a clear blue today with weeks indicator and still stuck on 2-3 getting seriously peeved now. I'm 5 weeks and 6 days. However the FRER I just took is so dark there almost isnt a control line which is very much progress from 9 days ago when I took one last and before I was ill. That's reassuring as having temps is a worry in early pregnancy. xxxx

5 Stars I don't use OPK's at all, I'm sorry I can't offer up any help.

Pato my husband usually 'knows' I'm pregnant before I do too. Hopeful for you!

Pink I hope that you get some video of everyone's reactions.

Tie I'm glad you've felt comfortable to post here.

Amber try not to worry hun. I'm glad you are getting great progression of the FRERs still, don't let the digital weeks get to you.

Thandi have you tested recently?

 

[Disneymom1129]

Thanks so much for all the replies ladies! I never notice anything in my underwear so I guess I will try checking with my finger. I've never done it before though, haha. When do you start to check? Around the time when you start using OPKs?

I started checking around the time I should be O'ing, to confirm it if anything.

Muffin - I can so see the line on the last picture you posted!!

Disney- I don't think I ever said congratulations! But I am so happy for you!
I hope that my gut is right this cycle too lol. I have been just trying to relax and just go with the flow as much as I can while still "trying".

DH and I made a nice reservation at a cute Bed and Breakfast in Wine Country for June 20th-21st. My dad will be watching our dd overnight so it will be nice to get away lol I'm sure I'll have already Ovulated by then but I'm hoping that just getting away with him will relax us both and kind of take the stress off of everything.

Thanks Ashley! And that little getaway to a B&B sounds great. Hope you guys have some great quality time together

Ladies I need someone's help....I started testing yesterday at cd9 and of course I didn't detect a surge at all (clear blue advanced) so yesterday evening I tested with both clear blue advanced and 1st response and I got a blinking smiley with clear blue and nothing at all with 1st response....Tested again this morning with FMU and the same thing happened...3 of my apps states that I should ovulate on Saturday and one states Monday...My problem is if I am to ovulate on Saturday why am I not picking up a LH surge at all....I'm so frustrated right now...I have slight ovulation pains but not picking anything up on the test....Oh and to make matters worse I don't see a blinking smiley on the box or instructions of clear blue...the face should be a smiley face without blinking and it should remain for two days without having to retest...am I making any sense....I'm just so frustrated right now....why is one test saying I may be about to ovulate and one is stark white....I wanna cry...PLEASE HELP LADIES!!!!

It'll be ok! Maybe you have a faulty test? Be sure to get the baby dancing in just in case. I don't know much about the digital OPKs since I always used the regular ones. GL & let us know!

Super cute! Can't wait to hear how it goes!!

 

[Cornfieldland]

Flarmy - I am trying to close on a house in greencove springs right now, but I'm currently in st. Augustine, I spend tons of time in Orlando though my mother in law has a condo, (I've been in fl my whole life) where are you moving to?

Pink that shirt looks awesome! Tomorrow is an exciting day for you

Can't wait to see your test muffin. Have fun today.

Sorry I've been gone for a few days. DH and I agreed when we got married that at least once a month on his days off (wed &thurs) we would unplug. No tvs, no computer, no phone, we just focus on us and spend time together. We had an awesome date night and had a great time together. Got some bd in too I think I'm pretty much caught up with what's going on now! It was a lot of reading lol I love this group!!

 

[pinkpassion]

Thanks everyone!!!!!
Today's been a crap day. . It's been one thing after another and part of my cake fell apart, but I think I can still make it all work!!!
The only good thing in my day is getting my beta results back!!! And I think I can rest easy... in just 32.5 hours my beta doubled from 8180 to 16,037!!!!!!!!!!!!! so I'm goingto just believe we have a healthy little bean in there and that it's growing well!!!
Happy day everyone.. (I'll read up and catch up on y'all later, I still have a ton to do) I just wanted to share the good news!!!!

That's great! They definitely doubled. Hope everything else works out ok!

FLArmy-- what time is your scan?

 

[pinkpassion]

Just checking in on you flarmy, waiting on news on your scan, good luck!!!

 

[AnnieMac2]

5stars - try not to worry and just keep testing. CD9 is early. The apps can estimate, but they can't possibly know what's going on in your body at any given moment. Maybe you're ovulating a little later than usual. That's happened to me. I've also gotten only one day of a blinking smiley before. Maybe your surge started in the afternoon rather than this morning. Just have sex everyday/every other day (whatever you usually plan on) in the meantime.

I've also been hearing that women are being advised to test in the afternoon after holding off on peeing as long as possible and not guzzling water immediately beforehand. But I can't verify that and haven't looked into why. If it will ease your mind, you could also test twice a day. Good luck!

I'm sorry you've had such a crap day. hopefully it got better and tomorrow is a brand new day




Sorry for not posting soon. My scan was at 3:40 central time (well by the time I saw the Dr it was after 4). then we went to dinner, grocery shopped, came home and put groceries away, and got stuck talking to the neighbor for an hour.


But here is my photo.
I cried... we got to see the flicker of the heart! Can't wait to actually hear the heartbeat

Thank you....Ive just never gotten a blinking smiley before and it kinda freaked me out...I usually go from a blank face to a smiley (not blinking)...So I was just a little worried...I usually test twice a day but didn't bother today b/c my OH stated that this why he hates OPK's because they are too stressful, so I listen and didn't even bother testing this afternoon...We have a romantic evening planned for tomorrow and we plan to BD regardless what the OPK's is saying tomorrow...he wants me stress free b/c he says that my stress is scaring the eggs lol lol
