first cycle actively trying (June 2015)

[Jezika]

Cute pic for sure, Gina. FX for Wednesdays. It doesn't sound like you're having any worrying symptoms more recently, so that's good, right?

Wifey, thanks for the welcome!

AFM, took an IC today, though with middle-of-the-day, not-particularly-built-up urine, and it was negative. AF didn't come today so will probably come tomorrow. Booo. A bit disappointed but not surprised. I got my OPKs in the mail too, though, so at least I can start using those. Can't believe I spent my whole life believing that men could just look at me and get me pregnant (mind you, it happened by accident 9 years ago, grrr!) and now it's not so straightforward. Makes me wonder how the world is populated at all.

Anyway, back to the drawing board. Good luck to all!

No real bad symptoms anymore. Just still totally confused lol. Took a test this morning, bfn. Surely I couldn't have gotten 2 false positives? My temp shot up this morning finally. Looks like I ovulated but I took ovulation tests the past few days and they were definitely negative so hoping my progesterone finally went up. Idk. I'll find out tomorrow I guess.

Hopefully af will stay away for you!! I totally agree with the how is this so complicated? I've also gotten pregnant on accident and now it's like how did it happen so easily back then and now it's taken 9 months at least. It's like the more you want it the harder it is to get.

 

[Jezika]

Hmm... sounds odd, but I've definitely heard it happen. I was also reading on another thread about how most women (those who don't go on these forums!) do only one or maybe two pregnancy tests when they miss AF and then just go with the assumption that all is fine unless something happens. But here a lot of us are testing all the time and so we create a lot more opportunities to question things. In any case, luckily you have one more day to wait to find out what's going on.

As for my accident 9 years ago, I swear I wasn't even DTD anywhere NEAR my supposed ovulation window. Perhaps it means my Os are weird, or at least were on that freakish cycle, but grrrrr either way. I guess I'll know with those OPKs. Hopefully they're not too complicated to use. Right now I wish AF would just hurry up and get out of the way. It sucks trying (and failing) to time pregnancy, esp. because it really impacts my schooling depending on when in the year it happens. Sorry... just thinking aloud here... and procrastinating!

Congratulations, Gina!!!! I hope you have a healthy and happy 9 months!
I've read that hpt's doesn't work for surprisingly many women. Please don't worry too much. Either way, this baby that wants you as their mommy is getting more and more successful coming through to you! Yay!

Vel, Rexmom & Magic, I hope you two ladies are not far behind!!

Leson, hope you're still doing great!! Yay!

FC and baby dust!!

 

[Velathria]

Omg I just came back to check how everything is and then I see the pic first a big congratulations gina!!! I hope it sticks you are definitely someone who deserves this.. wow two bfps in one month.. awesome!! XD let's hope this is a chain. Hahaha I really don't know this month.. I don't feel any different then usual so I don't think this month is it again
. But I just hope it doesn't take any longer you have your appointment today right? Good luck. And fx that they have some amazing news.

 

[Velathria]

Fertile how are you doing? Feel like you are or unsure?

And HI to our newcomer jezika lots of luck to you and that you don't have to wait so long for your bfp

Has anyone else being confronted with baby stuff all day long? I am and it's annoying.. I'm about to start crying at this... I just want my baby too... and my son has been enthusiastically been talking about baby's and saying how cute they are. This is so irritating.

 

[gina236]

Jez, ya we do set ourselves up for more stress by being crazy haha. It's hard to just sit back and let it happen when you see all these women taking tests everyday and taking supplements etc. It's easy to get wrapped up in it.

Fertile! So glad to hear from you! I really hope it's just the tests not working. Hope you are doing well!

Velathria sorry your not feeling to confident this cycle. Hopefully your wrong and get a surprise bfp! Was your bd'ing timed good? I see baby stuff everywhere and it kills me so I know what you mean.

My appt is tonight! They called yesterday and I have to call them back at lunch. Said they needed to talk to me about my appointment before I come in. Hoping everything is okay with it. I am terrified of them just saying uhm you just ovulated or something like that since that is how my temp looks, but I took ovulation tests and they were low fertility when it should have been high according to my temps. Or that its ectopic and i have to end it. So so scared. But hoping it will be best case scenario and I will just get to see my little bean early and everything will be fine

 

[Velathria]

Yes we actually timed it perfect. From the opks we did it 2 days before the positive one and then on the day again and the day after so we got it well.
The only thing that is different is that I keep dreaming these crazy dreams... last night I felt sick in my dream and there was this little horrible disfigured body of a child and it kept puking and puking.. it was horrible.

 

[gina236]

Well vivid dreams are a symptom. Hopefully you don't feel your pregnant as a defense mechanism. FX you actually are! Are you going to test or just wait to see if AF shows?

 

[Velathria]

Me too. but I feel like it's just a coincidence. I'll wait for af to show. Not in the mood for a bfn.

 

[gina236]

What's really funny is your ticker says vivid dreams as a symptom for 6 dpo.

 

[BabyForIris]

Hey everyone! New here and wanted to say hello and congratulate all the recent BFP's and wish everyone else lots of luck.

This is our first cycle TTC and I had no idea it would be such a crazy ride. We are both over 30 and only married a year.

Hoping to make some friends to share this all with.

 

[gina236]

Welcome baby good luck on your ttc journey! I hope it's a short one for you!

 

[lesondemavie]

I'm doing well fertile, thanks! I hope all is well with you.

I'm just biding my time waiting for my first appointment/scan. Just a little over a week to go. My symptoms are pretty mild. 7 weeks tomorrow and still no ms. Fingers crossed all is well, and it just never comes .

Vel - I completely thought I was out last cycle. You just never know. I literally chanted bfn as I waited for the results on the IC. Being defensive does soften the blow a bit. When I saw a faint line, confusion ensued. I thought for sure it must just be line eye. So go ahead think you're out, chant bfn, do whatever you need to do...your body will do what it's going to do...it's out of your hands, but I just know you'll get a BFP soon!

Gina - Hope upon every hope that your appointment goes well. Totally get the nerves, but I'm sure the phone call is just about how to prepare if you're having a scan, and I'm sure it will be nice to have some answers.

Fx to all and cheers to your future BFPs!

 

[Velathria]

The ticker is actually wrong. I am 8 dpo but I've been having vivid dreams for the last 5 nights. I'm too lazy to change the ticker lol

 

[Velathria]

Oh les I hope so. And I know it doesn't matter what I think. I'm just thinking no new changes means it could be either.. which is why I'm not going to test.. not going to spend that money. I'll just wait it out. 7 days left to go.

 

[BabyForIris]

Thanks Gina! I hope it's a short one as well. I've decided my personality does not deal with with the unknown and this TWW ha ha!

Let the crazy wait begin!

 

[Velathria]

Amen to that baby. XD that's one of my worst fears and it makes me uncomfortable when I don't know. I am usually also super nosy xD

 

[gina236]

Well no answers for me anymore. They canceled my appointment.

 

[Velathria]

What the hell? Why? That's rude?
