[Dream143r]

StrawBerry2 - CONGRATS!

 

[Katy78]

Hey ladies. I've been quietly stalking this thread and now I'd like to join too.
First of all, I'm sorry for the BFNs and AF and especially CP.
But congrats on the BFPs so far. Hoping there's more to come.
My OPK was super positive today so O's tomorrow. Please put me down for 24 Jan, which is 14 dpo. I'll be testing around then if AF doesn't beat me to it.
to all.

Katy - Good luck!!!!!

Cookie - How is the spotting??? Your lines were so strong. Have you tested again??? Are they just as strong???

Sorry to all with AF showing up. It’s not a good feeling at all. Sending us all babydust!!!

AFM - Not much to report yet. CD5 today, so AF is just making her exit. This cycle already feels like it’s taking forever.

 

[LuLu_TTC]

Dream, Bebe, and MD - thanks ladies, we were pretty happy with the results as well. He DOES already take a multi-vitamin but will definitely be increasing some other things to help!

The temp spike did confuse me as well but I have been trying out opk's since this past Friday and I just got my first EWCM today, so I think I'm still on track for ovulation on friday-saturday. Also I started getting sick on Saturday and was told I have bronchitis today....so I'm chalking the high temps up to the sickness.

Strawberry - congratulations!!!

Cookie- fx that this is just some light pregnancy spotting

I'm fairly new at this all....haven't temped yet, but going to start if AF shows up...she's due this weekend at some point. I've been cramping a lot, but that's not horribly uncommon for me to randomly cramp. The headache that's been lasting 2 days totally is though. Have some more cheapies coming in the mail tonight, so I'll probably test on Saturday, Monday, and then every day unless AF shows. I'll probably do an OPK this evening just to make sure nothing funky is happening. Hoping and praying for lots of baby dust for everyone here! My mom had fertility issues, so I'm hoping and praying I can conceive naturally* (herbal supplements are fine, DH is totally anti-medication though).

Hi all, can I be added to the 20th for testing?
I've been ntnp since my 21 month old was born (but af only returned 6 months ago). This is the longest time I've gad between pregnancies though and I'm starting to fet very anxious for another and will start actually ttc if this month was a bust.
I have no real idea when AF should be due as my last two cycled were only 23 days (which was my pre babies normal, since having kids it's been 27-29 days) but the 20th will be CD 29 if AF hasn't arrived by then.

Resisting the urge to test again. More symptoms are popping up. Tingling around the areola and nipple, and increased amount of discharge. Still being leery with my hope, but I have a good feeling

I just agonized over buying a bulk lot of cheapie opks and hpts, because hubby and I have the same eBay and PayPal account and he won't like if I start obsessively ttc. But then I found a BBT that comes with 5 opks and 2hpt, so that won't seem as obsessive and I went ahead and ordered it. It should arrive in a week. And then I found a lady selling 60opks and a couple packs of clear blue pregnancy tests for $10, as she bought them and then found out she was pregnant. So I bought them too. With luck the trend will continue with me and I too can pass them on without needing them lol.

Just made a FF account too. I only temped when taco my first, 7 years ago now, and I didn't use FF
But now I'm keen to dive right into the whole shebang of charting. It will be a little silver lining if AF does artive

Thank you all for your concern, i don’t have anyone else I can talk too (apart from hubby but he doesn’t understand), and it’s nice to have all you ladies on here

The spotting has stopped! Which I’m glad about! I took another FRER this morning and it isn’t any lighter than it was, although not sure it’s darker either so I guess it could go either way. I’ll upload a pic in a bit x

Glad the spotting stopped. It's definitely darker Cookie.

 

[thencomesbebe]

Awww cookie I'm so happy the spotting stopped!

 

[mickels]

So happy for you that the spotting stopped Cookie (I haven't posted much, but I've been kinda stalking your posts )... Although I have never seen a positive pregnancy test (apart from photos) in my life, I think it's safe to say that it's darker than before.

AFM: I'm 5dpo today and getting antsy to test already. I have an extremely good feeling about this month, and our BD timing was spot on. I'm craving loads of fruits and salads, which is a good thing, but I don't want to symptom spot this early on or I'm going to drive myself crazy. Good thing that I don't have any HPT's at the moment, still waiting for my IC's to come in the mail, which I am very thankful for

Good luck and baby everywhere

 

[xCookieDoughx]

Thank you everyone! I’m still terrified to go to the loo incase it starts again, but I think that’s just going to be my life until I get into the 2nd trimester and I don’t think I’ll fully relax until baby is born! I know it sounds like the craziest thing to say as I get bad pregnancy sickness, but I can’t wait until it starts, usually around 6 weeks for me, as then I know that something good is happening x

 

[2nd time]

Can I join please I will be testing from next Mon but af due around 20th I think as can't remember when af started over Christmas

 

[tankel]

Rooting for you , cooking.

NDH, so happy to see you here.

Can you please move my test day to the 29? I think I'll O sometime next week. I still have a chance for a Jan bfp.

 

[Jules8]

Cookie- I'm glad to hear that the spotting stopped. Your tests look amazing!!! The first trimester is such a anxiety ridden rollercoaster.

AFM- I'm 8DPO. I had some side cramping yesterday, a temp dip this morning, and a little cramping down low for about an hour this morning. I'm feeling tired and achy now, but no for sure symptoms. I was going to start testing today, but I feel silly testing before ovulation is even confirmed with my bloodwork. If I don't hear from them by tomorrow then I'll go ahead and test on Friday. I'm switching to a fertility specialist and doing a monitored cycle with the works next cycle so a bfp would be great.

Cookie - very happy spotting has stopped! Hoping it will not come back!

I am 10 dpo today and I think it is safe to say the trigger shot is completely out of my system. There was a shadow on yesterday's test but it is stark white this morning with fmu. I hope that shadow comes back tomorrow..

 

[tankel]

Good luck tablefortwo!

Hi all! FF says I'm 3 DPO. I don't think that's correct based on my OPK turning positive the evening of the day FF says I Od, but who knows? I hope it's wrong because that would put my BD at O-2 and O+1. I don't care for those odds. We shall see how things go, though. I was very optimistic this month until FF dropped my crosshairs where it did!

EDIT - I just played with my temps on FF. If my temp continues to go up, FF will move my O date forward one day. Shew!
