[katiecakes]

AWESOME STEPH!!!!!! Seems like this whole thread will be bump buddies soon!! What worked for you? congrats!

 

[wildchic]

Wow steph, congrats!!! I'm so happy for you hun! H+H pregnancy!

 

[wildchic]

Love your scan pic Katiecakes! I can wait for my scan on Thursday!

 

[katiecakes]

Thank you! I am totally in love with the pic - cutest thing I have ever seen lol

 

[steph_466]

Missed the iui this month so it worked with just the femara

 

[wildchic]

Did you do any monitoring steph? That's great that it worked without doing iui!

 

[steph_466]

No, lol it was an off month for me, I was helping grandpa clear one of his properties and we missed the positive opk and I was devistated, I called the fertility clinic crying and asked if maybe we could still conceive naturally, my nurse was great. She talked to me for about twenty mins till I calmed down and said yes theres still a chance. So I didnt get a positive opk, I only temped a couple times in the begining of the month and thats it. I felt really weird before I got my bfp. I went to the states for the weekend and did a test friday before I went just to make sure cuz I was sure af was coming, was wearing a liner that day, had annoying cramps. But it was bfn, usually my cramps and af are no more than a day before it starts. So the next day still nothing, I was hesitant, no real drinking on the weekend I knew something was off. The cramps never went away and it was like a burning cramp instead of usual af, a bit different and my nipple were still tender and that usually goes away about three days before af. I told my instructor(in a course for two weeks) If I dont make it in the morning Im off to the doctors. But that night we got two bfp. Really hard to believe after so long of ttc with no reason and no luck. We are still really shocked but soo thankful Oh and my LP is usally 12 days so when I hit 15, I called my girlfriend thats a midwife and asked "is it possible for your LP to just randomly change? She said yes but I tested anyway!

Lol, the same kinda happened with me! I wore a pad, was so sure af was on her way with cramps! I also went past my usual lp of 13days & when I was on day 15, I thought af was messing with me like it did in the past! My nipples were so sore the day before my bfp, which I never get! I thought it was just weird & that it was maybe a sign of af! Glad everything worked out for you steph!

 

[steph_466]

Thanks! You too hun!

 

[wildchic]

Thanks have you told anyone yet? I've got an appointment with my fs on Thursday and will probably do a scan and I'm hoping to hear heartbeat! Once we know that all is ok with baby we'll tell family and close friends! I'll only be almost 8weeks, but I need to tell my dd coz she sometimes plays rough with me so she needs to know to be more careful with my tummy. We wanted to wait until after 1st trimester, but I can't hold it in any longer,lol! When are you due?

 

[katiecakes]

I wonder how Molly, cupcake, red bean, frog, and Nikita are doing?

Ebenson have you tested yet!?!?

Bfps for me, Steph, swtpink, wild chic! And all of these bfps were from femara, right?

So exciting!

[Ebenson703]

Just wanted to update everyone-- it was just a late period! Next time! Seeing a new specialist soon!

Congrats Steph!

 

[froggyfrog]

Wow so many bfps here! Im in my tww right now. We decided to take a few months off from iui and just letrozole and opk. I got my +opk on may 26th. Im of course feeling "symptoms" but im going to hold off until maybe Friday to test. Just in case I have a longer lp(I had a long lp trick me before). Im so excited that you got pregnant with just bding steph! That gives me hope! Days 4-6po I had creamy cm and on day 7 was an abundance of cm! Like someone dumped a bottle of lotion on my tp, then after that ive dried up. I have only had that once and it was on a triggered cycle, so maybe its a good sign! What do you ladies think? I know cm can't tell you much, but what kind of cm did you bfpers have?

 

[wildchic]

I had no cm! I was so dry, it was weird! Sorry can't be of more help

 

[froggyfrog]

Its ok! I know that cm is different for everyone, im starting to think that maybe im out because im having af type cramps this afternoon.

 

[katiecakes]

Sorry ebenson

Froggy- glad to hear from you! Best of luck this cycle. I don't remember what my cm was like, all I remember is getting my first faint bfp at 9dpo and the rest is a blur! Lol

 

[wildchic]

Froggy-i had af type cramps! I was so sure af was on her way, I put a pad on for 2 days! Even after I got the bfp, I put on a clean pad coz it still felt like the witch was planning to show up any minute! I still get af type cramps now and then! Fx for you!

Congrats Steph!

Sorry about af Ebenson

 

[steph_466]

I cant say I remember the cm this month? I didnt really chart at all as you can tell lol. I just remember (and am almost positive) the day we concieved. I dont have a huge sex drive usually but that day no matter what it was going to happen, made my husband laugh for sure. Makes me kinda giggle thinking about it now!

 

[Swtpinkbabi]

Sorry about af Ebenson. Baby dust to you
