I am a mother of three. I lost my 4th 09/06/2013. I haven't "tried" to concieve since then but this month I think my period is missing. I've always had irregular periods. 3 days long and either on the 30th or 9th of the month or sometimes none at all. I'm terrible at tracking especially since I wasn't trying to conceive. I have fear of not knowing immediately because I don't want to procrastinate I prenatal care and risk losing another baby. How do I know when to test?

Hi everyone, so sorry work has just consumed me and I've been very over stressed. My husband has been SO wonderful calming me down and helping me get reorganized and we just went out to a nice dinner which was so great. I am literally falling asleep as I type so I will catch up on posts tomorrow when I wake up. I got ?af? Today kind of not really?!? I mean it's dark brown and no where as heavy as a period but more than just spotting. I'm sure it's just af coming on slow. My husband is so cute he is still hopeful. He actually asked me to test tomorrow again. I just love him. I am going to test again tomorrow even though it sounds nuts just to get rid of my last test. I'm assign af will be bright red tomorrow. If it's not I wonder what I chart? Still chart af? No clue ... too tired to think...

Thanks for everyone's support and welcome back sunshine!!!!!

I'm literally falling asleep writing this so I will check in tomorrow and catch up on posts ...
hope EVERYONE is doing okay!!!
Zzzzzzz

I am up! Checking in on you ladies! I got home yesterday and dh and were so tired, we fell asleep at 830!

Disney weird about the brown spotting...I am going to stalk your chart. You might as well test and get confirmation. I usually get brown spotting before af but if it's not normal for you then test. There are women who get their period anyway. My mom was telling me about that (she said one of my aunts was so confused because she got period for the whole first trimester and she had no idea she was pregnant! )

Sunshine, are you back? Are you charting? Can you share your ff so I can stalk?

 

[sunshine2014]

Disney did you test?????? You're not out until she shows. I'm so happy Dh is so supportive and loving about it. Awww. You two sound so cute.

I'm back!!!! Back home with the Dh. But just realized I left my thermometer at my parents. Bah. So I won't be able to test for another week. Also, I can't use ff. I don't get It. I just use an app called Kindara. If ff is easier I'll try it, but I was super confused before haha.

Glad you and Dh made it home safe. A good sleep is always a good thing how was thr weather? Dh was supposed to drive to vermont today until Monday but looks like there's a big storm coming, so he won't be going this weekend. But maybe next.

 

[sunshine2014]

Disney!!!!!!! I'm ding over here lol.

Maltesemom - I'm sending you a pm...I have some q's about Stamford if that's okay!

Hope you ladies are doing great! I'm staying warm inside.

 

[maltesemom]

Of course! It just popped up!!

It's freezing isn't it? I need sun. Dh and I are planning a trip to Mexico! I can't wait

I am with Sunshine: Disney any news?

 

[sunshine2014]

Thanks Maltesemom..!!! Just got all the info and it was super helpful. I hear you on the sun. Mexico sounds great! We're looking at Dominican or Cuba for the first week of April, but we have a ton of expenses coming up so we'll see.

Disney....I'm thinking of you, I hope you're doing well!

kk...hope you are well as well.

Hey guys just checking in. I'm at a coffee shop in a tiny town in Colorado. Probaly won't be able to get Wifi consistently over the next week. Here's what's up with me: 12 DPO and tested with a FRER on 2nd morning pee this morning and got a BFN. I had planned on waiting until tomorrow but couldn't resist and should have just done it with FMU. I will test again tomrrow and will try and update everyone if I can. Symptoms include no acne (usually have it the week before AF shows), sore boobs (always have before AF), slight cramping in left side of my pelvic area, increased appetite. Still hoping for a BFP tomorrow morning.

Anyways enough about me. How's everyone doing?

Maltesemom have you told people yet or are you waiting until 14 weeeks?

Disney- Fingers crossed for you!!!!

Sunshine- I used to use glow but found it to be very inaccurate. FF is pretty easy but I use the app for ipad so I don't know how their website is. It seems to be the gold standard in TTC.

 

[sunshine2014]

kk - great to hear from you! What are you doing in Colorado? I feel like I missed something lol...everyone is travelling. Anyways, hope you're having fun. Keep us posted if you can! All symptoms are great! and it's still early for the bfn, so try not to get discouraged.

Hi ladies! I will be joining you as I will be testing Feb. 13th in hopes of my BFP before Vday. This is the first month I started temping and using opks, and I love it! I know exactly when I ovulated! Currently 5DPO. I also am on Metformin 2000mg (for 6months) and started EPO this month, fingers crossed for us!!!

Welcome onemorebaby!

Hi Disney, how are you? Sunshine, how's it going?

 

[sunshine2014]

Doing well over here. Got my butt kicked at the gym today lol. Yay! Now relaxing with wine and Netflix. Dh is off today and tomorrow so we're doing a whole lot of nothing

How are you?

Disney. Still thinking of you

Welcome one more!

Update for me -- AF came today. YAY!!!!! I know it's good news, but it's way sooner than I thought so I'm a tad thrown off. But one day closer to ttc again.

 

[PinkLemonade2]

Hi everyone! I wish you all luck, Im on the same boat, and its so tough. It gets harder and harder each month. I will be testing on Valentine's Day, unless AF shows up. Ive been off the pill (due to painful periods) for 3 months. My periods are normal so everything went right back to normal as soon as I got off of it. I usually get sore nipples on CD 24, however, the sides of my breasts have been hurting for like the past 4 days. I hope different is good. Also, Im super tired, but when I go to sleep I literally wake up like every hour. Its so obnoxious. Im so nervous though, I feel like I'm always out before I'm even in. I'd love to hear all of your stories! I wish you all luck and baby dust!

Yay Sunshine!!!!! That's great news!! How;s temping going? I know you are using FF, but I am happy to help do a quick training. It's easy once you get the hang of it!

Hi Pink, sounds promising! I also had terrible insomnia before my BFP,so who knows! Just stay positive. You never know! Are you temping?

 

[PinkLemonade2]

Hi there! Thank you for the hope I am not temping, I use OPKs though. And I get positives every month, but nothing works. Crossing my fingers.

 

[sunshine2014]

Hi ladies!

How is everyone doing? I'm CD3 today and heading to the doctor to get all of my bloodwork done to test for mcs. We aren't going to try this month as I'll be away this month, did I already tell yiu guys that? Lol. I'm going away for work for 10 days so we'll miss it but I'm okay with that, would rather wait for the results anyways. Next month we're back in the game, so should still be a March tester!

Maltese how are you doing? I forgot my thermometer at my parents because I wasn't expecting it to return this soon, so I'll start temping on Monday. As for FF, I would love a mini lesson lol. I find it super confusing. I'll download the app again on and then I'll try to use it, but any info would be great!!

Disney - we miss you hope you're okay.

Pimk lemonade - good luck! Almost time to test!!
