June, month of new beginnings! Thread for laughter, support and POAS! 19 BFP!

[twinkie2]

pinkturtle-I fully believe this and it has been my mantra for years! DH and I struggled with jobs/getting a job, $, where to live, whatever. It was so hard some days, but we were working to our dream and now we live where we wanted to be and have jobs we love! All that other crap lead us to this, so 'everything happened for a reason!'

 

[Captain]

I have another question for you ladies! (Hope you don't mind, you're the only ones I can talk to about all this!)

After getting a positive frer yesterday I went to the doctors today. I gave them a urine sample and they sent me to the lab for blood tests. They took eight (EIGHT!?) samples and another urine test. I tried getting information from the lady taking my blood but she wasn't very helpful. I asked her when would I know anything and she told me that some of the blood will be taken to one location which will take a day or two and others to somewhere else, which could take up to a week, and I think she also mentioned some being looked at there?

All I want to know is if I'm definitely pregnant or not!! When should I know? I'm assuming the doctors will call me when the results come back to schedule an appointment?

 

[wantbump]

I think the doctrors will call you when the results are in. When I gave blood on CD3 of my cycle the lady told me it will take 48 hours I scheduled an appointment according to that. You can try calling the doctors office and check whether the results are in. If you pregnant (which you are!) they should want to tell you asap.

Thank you!

You guys are so amazing, I moved from my home country a few years back and I don't know anyone in the town I currently live in and my husband works away! My closest friend (who's in the UK) has never had children and my mother (also in the UK) has had more questions than I have since I told her yesterday!! I really appreciate having all you guys to come talk to

Oh..and I thought y'all might get a kick out of this..

It was my OH that asked if AF had arrive yet a couple of nights a go, when I said no he told me I must be a week late, I couldn't believe he was keeping track! So I was because of that I took the test yesterday morning which was positive, but I don't want to tell him until he's home, he'd hate being told over Skype!

Then last night he asked again if AF had arrived and I told him no, he started talking about testing when he gets home so I just brushed it off. He asked AGAIN tonight so I told a little white lie and said that AF had turned up this morning!

At least now he'll stop mentioning it and I can surprise him at the airport Tuesday night!

 

[hunni12]

Sorry about the witch cheeky

Kudos to you captain for keeping it away from him lol I would have been spilled the beans


Afm, my breasts are still aching no more spots either and the pinching on the right side is done. Why oh why do I have to do this to myself and symptom spot then google every symptom by the dpo...

 

[smiley4442]

Nope, I'm out, she is just cruel, cruel cruel. I was pretty upset. And this is why I try very hard not to think that I might be preg through the cycle, as it's just too hard.
Not sure what I'm doing next cycle, as I've now gone over, will go back to waiting and see

sorry cheeky

 

[ttc another]

Hey Everyone here is a bit about our journey. my husband and I already have a beautiful 2year old boy and have been now trying for another baby for 14 months..
I have had ultrasounds and bloodtests and everything has come back ok apart from having polycystic ovarian syndrome so the specialist has put me onto clomid to help me conceive. Currently at 13dpo and due for AF around the 27th (just over one week to go) however today I have ahad some light PINK spotting which I have never seen before in my life! so I don't know if its implantation spotting, or the clomid (possible side effect that I may not no about) or the start of AF but its may just be the clomid changing how af appears ??? I did a home preg test yesterday and it was negative and now am to heart broken to test again what do you all think???

 

[confuzion]

Deal, lynny, hunni, krissy, smiley, and anyone else in the tww - fingers firmy crossed!!

Captain - you are definitely pregnant But I hope you are happy with your blood test results. I would call tomorrow and see if they are in yet.

Welcome ttc another! Wait a few days and test again! Good luck hon. Hope it was implantation.

Hey Captain!!! whereabouts in Van are you? Im in Surrey

The bloodwork they do as a routine thing. They will have taken a CBC, Chem panel, HCG, a crossmatch (to determine your blood type) and a bunch to test for STDs. The cross match goes to Canadian blood services, the STD testing goes to the main CDC lab and all the others go to a local lab for processing. Your Dr should have the results of the stuff from the local lab tomorrow, the other stuff may take a couple of days.

You can sign up online at a website called myehealth.ca and you will be able to view your own lab results that are processed at a BC BioMedical lab or LifeLabs. If you go for bloodwork in the am it is usually updated on their system by the evening!

Thats awesome you are able to keep the secret to surprise him!

Hi!

Congrats to any new BFPs and fingers crossed for those who are still waiting!

Well I have a doctors appointment Saturday with a general,doctor. I going to complain about these terribly long cycles, and the fact that we are now coming up to 12 months TTC. Were both 26, and healthy so I don't see why it's taking so long. We've also been timing the bd at the right time so who knows.

Little baby(ies) come at us

 

[Pug2012]

8 dpo today and I swear time is slowing now. Gonna test tomorrow but just with an ic. Was gonna get a FRER but sains didn't have any.

I got a super faint BFP at 9dpo with my lg so fingers crossed.


Babydust to all those still waiting too. Xxx

 

[Deal9027]

Good morning ladies!!!

Cheeky so sorry the got you.

Hunni - I know it's easier said than done but I really wouldn't stress over that tiny dot of blood - if anything maybe IB but more likely it could have been a little cut or tear somewhere down there that caused that little droplet.

Lynny - together we will be frantically checking toilet paper today...who am I kidding?!?! I've been doing that since yesterday when I figured AF would show!!!

Krissy - I try not to compare my charts on FF anymore because it is just too maddening!!! And the more things I'd check off to compare like my chart the lower the percentage of PG charts every single time...too disheartening.

How is everyone else doing?

AFM, Well I've officially added another day to my LP and am causiously treading water here at 13DPO!! So if nothing else I feel good that I've had a healthy normal cycle this month Woohoo!!!! But I am also at the point where I am TOTALLY stuck in my head - 1/2 the time I am preparing for AF and channeling positivity to my next cycle but the other 1/2 of the time I am quietly symptom spotting, foolishly finding myself hopeful & ridiculously wanting to test...ughhhh!!! It is quite literally making me crazy!!! I guess if AF doesn't show by tonight I will talk with DH and let him know I want to test & that I already have a test under the sink just waiting for me to pee on it! I will offer two options either test tomorrow morning (14DPO) or no later than Sat morning. I am just so darn anxious now. And it totally didn't help that when DH gave me a big hug before leaving for work it hurt my boobs. I am a proud member of the ity bity titty committee so my boobs almost never hurt - I swore I had boob pain in my March cycle but I'm pretty sure it was psychosimatic or just from squishing all the time!! It could be that he just squeezed a little too hard tho...hate how tricky are bodies are to us. It's so unfair!!!!!

Alright - I'm done whining I swear!!! It felt good to get that all out tho!!!!

 

[hunni12]

Soooo i wake up to a text from my mom asking me am i pregnant lol i waa like uhhhhh no. I feel out already :/

 

[KrissyB]

Deal - So excited for you! This is a great cycle with your LP no matter what! Annnnd temps are still looking great for other things. FXed extra tight!!
And I gave some thought to the charts anyway.... I mean you have to figure that the vast majority of charts on FF are ovulatory, so the percentages on searches is really misleading.

Hunni - you have no reason to think you are out!! That little tiny dot on it's own is much more likely a good sign (implantation) than a bad one! And you are getting all sorts of prophetic signs!! for you too.

AFM - 7 dpo and temps still rising
Oh - and add to my symptoms that I'm either VERY irritable or married to a VERY irritating man LOL. Either way he's lucky to have lived the past two nights now lol.
In a normal world, I would expect AF tomorrow, Saturday at the latest. But I think the delayed O has everything off now. So I'm just counting time by DPO.

 

[peanutmomma]

morning ladies, crazy storms here started when DH went to work.
We are headed for a 9 hour car ride to my parents for the weekend. I feel like I am going to start AF. Guess I will bring supplies in case but hoping I am wrong and BFP come next week

 

[Bartness]

We had crazy bad storms last night in Fargo.

Tested this morning... Bfn...afbdue Saturday.

 

[twinkie2]

Awful storms all night here in NE Iowa too, and continuing through the morning. I had to drop my car off for an oil change this morning and walked home (it's only a few blocks) and it just started pouring on me about 1 block from my house We are having a bunch of flash flooding right now with a lot of our rural roads closed due to creeks and rivers going over the road, going to need a to get around here soon! (peanutmomma-I'm not too far from you, been to Rochester loads of times! only about and 1 1/2 drive!)

Deal You are soooo pregnant (this is my attempt at if you believe it, it will happen!) I hope DH lets you test tomorrow! And awesome sauce on the increased LP, massive victory right there

Captain-I love that you are going to be able to surprise him when he gets home!!

Hi to everyone! I know a lot are close and I'm hoping so strongly that we get to see a whole lot more bfps in here soon!!! For those that got AF, don't forget, the link to the July thread has been posted on the first page by confuzion. Hope I don't have to see any of you there and you can all graduate to first tri!!

 

[MellyH]

Deal, Krissy, I am very excited for you guys, it all looks really promising so far! Congrats on the beautiful LP, Deal!

Cheeky, I'm sorry sweetie *hands over the hot water bottle and the red wine*

pinkturtle - can you lay out for us exactly the dates of your last proper full period, the light 'period', and when you think you ovulated? It's hard to recreate what happened from your post!

Hi Bug! I'm actually on the island in Nanaimo!

Thanks for the reply! I had the blood taken around 10/11AM so I'm hoping they call sometime today!
