Let's grab that BFP with both hands and make it ours! January Testing Thread

[terripeachy]

SPP-Waiting for O this time around is frustrating. Usually it happens from CD12-13, and now it's CD15 already! Maybe it's a sign. I will just continue doing what I'm doing.

Garfie-I read the last entry on your blog and sorry about what happened with DH and the other lady that used to be your friend. What a be-yotch. She is bitter. I hope you caught that egg. That would be kind of awesome/amazing. hee hee. I think my testing date will be delayed as well if I don't release an egg..Maybe she's just a little shy. COME ON DOWN!!! hee hee.

Welcome fezzle! And hi Oldermom. We miss you, but know you're busy. Are you going to be POAS while the inlaws are in town? It's almost time for your to start testing!

Smiles-We're racing to catch up! I hope you don't get sick this time around. fx fx

Just wanted to say a quick "HI!" to everyone, sorry I can't be more present, but I am still hosting the inlaws. We went dunebashing today and saw a few more tourist attractions here. To say we are tired would be putting it mildly!
Miss you all, and have a great day!

*makes note to look up "dunebashing" lol. Sounds like you guys are having some serious fun that will take at least a week to recover from

Dunebashing...how to describe...like mad skiing in land rovers, I guess. We all piled into a land cruiser and went out into the desert. The drivers take the steepest and most topsy-turvy paths up and down the dunes. Totes fun.
Thing is, we hadn't planned on actually dunebashing, because my MIL has a nervous condition. She did relatively well, considering.
They were supposed to just take us to this tourist spot on regular desert paths. Heh. Oops.

Dunebashing sounds like a lot of fun.

It was. Wrenched my neck (slight whiplash), but otherwise ok. The baby was with us (another reason we wanted them to go more slowly, they did at first- then they sped up), but she had a grand old time too.

Terri, wow, four days of pos OPKs! Wonder what's goin' on in that body of yours. Some serious LH surging is what's goin on. Hopefully a really great thing! Looking forward to seeing that temp spike in the a.m. I bet it will.

Garfie, how do I find your journal?? I haven't looked through those journals much, and when I did just now, I couldn't find yours... maybe I'm just not looking in the right place.

Smiles, I dont blame you for temping still... I was planning on temping until I got confirmed blood tests from my Dr. and then I was going to stop after that. They say to step AWAY from the thermometer after a BFP, because it can add undue stress if you see a drop or something. But my plan was to continue until the day I got a positive blood test. I was planning on stopping after that, but mostly because it felt GOOD to imagine not having to take my temp every morning! LOL

Hi to everyone else! And Welcome to any newbies, we're so happy to have you.

 

[terripeachy]

ERose-The link to garfie's journal is in her signature. Then you have to go to last, well, unless you want to read the whole thing.

As far as those positives. I used the last three CB digitals. One was open circle, one was flashing and one was solid. So, I just put two positives for the solid. Then, I used the FR OPK just to try it out (ha ha), and it showed positive, and then again this morning I thought I'd se what it said and it's still positive. I'll do it again tomorrow if my temperature doesn't make a significant jump. Not sure whether a long LH surge helps or hinders. Maybe i'll have to google it. I do want that dragon to go away though. hee hee.

We got our first snow of 2014 today! It happened prior to leaving work, so I'm glad the roads weren't too bad on my way home. I may stay in tomorrow and "work from home" if it's really bad. Unfortunately, I procrastinated on some stuff I need to do tomorrow, so if it's not too bad, I'll be going in. I want a free vacation day so badly.

 

[SweetPotatoPi]

*poof!* Be gone dragon! Bring that egg on down in a fashion that would make Bob Barker proud terri . Hope you get that day to work from home tomorrow!

Hope your neck feels better oldermom! Dunebashing sounds ridiculously fun .

Hope you had fun at the sales Sis!

 

[terripeachy]

Still snowing, so we're either going to wake up early and shovel or I'm snoozing and someone else can shovel, and I'll just make it in whenever I make it in (which means Monday). I even planned on running today IF it wasn't snowing when I got home, but surprisingly, it was. I had good intentions. I will go out Saturday morning if it's all melted. I really want to get back to my routine.

 

[Katie Potatie]

Yes! I'm going to grab January with both hands!!...in a few weeks though, as I'm in the midst of a merciless AF. But after this nonsense is over, game on 'lil eggies! Please jot me down for the 28th. Thanks!

 

[Sis4Us]

Terri hope that temp jumps in the AM we might be cycle buddies U late me Early!!

Oldermom usually Vitex will will push back O but my body has a Mind of its own

 

[terripeachy]

I give up!!

 

[oldermom1975]

I give up!!

Sorry Terri! Hopefully tomorrow you get a clear temp spike!

 

[garfie]

Terri - Aw sorry hun - hopefully tomorrow just a thought what time do you do your OPKs? enjoy your run

Sis - Early O is better for you is it not?

Older - Dunebashing sounds like a blast - might have to try that next holiday I go on - the last one in the summer we went paragliding jumped of a 6000ft mountain drop - well what else could I do on my 42nd birthday - I certainly wasn't pregnant

ER - How are you feeling hun?

AFM - Not a lot to report - think I may have O the next few days will tell - still on course for testing on the 17 (my eldest birthday) but may fail miserably as the time gets closer

[terripeachy]

I don't want to waste all my OPKs because its not telling me anything one way or the other, so I didn't use one this morning. I usually test first thing in the morning. Maybe this cycle is just an anovulatory one. That has happened before, so maybe it's just happening again. I guess my body WANTS to ovulate, but just isn't, and maybe that's why I had a couple positives. It was trying, but nothing but scrambled eggs were there.

garfie-The 17th is still two weeks away, so that date isn't that far off.

Thanks Sis, oldermom and garfie! You know how to make a girl feel ok about things.

 

[SweetPotatoPi]

I give up!!

Well hell! I'm sorry gal. TTC just sucks: if the DH is cooperating our bodies flip out, if our bodies are cooperating the DH goes loony in some fashion or another. WTF, Mother Nature has a seeeeeeeriously messed up sense of what's funny . Still hoping that egg drops soon terri .

Sis: My body has a mind of its own too, Vitex or no . I O all over the damn place, anywhere b/w CD11 and CD16 . Maybe for a lot of us if O is later Vitex pushes it up and if O is earlier Vitex pushes it back since it allows whatever is appropriate for your body to occur . As long as it keeps helping me work out my hormonal issues IDC .

 

[garfie]

Terri - Maybe your OPKs are different to mine - but mine say don't test with FMU so I usually test about 11ish (been a few times by then )

I know 2 weeks away - wowzers will I last that long - this is what FF is telling me I guess I will see what temps do I have had a good BFP anywhere between 8DPO - 11DPO not that any have stuck PMA though no more maudling did enough of that over the New Year PMA PMA PMA

[MomOf3Girls]

Please take me off the list. I will not be PG this cycle. DH has decided to put ttc on hold. I have been waiting for FIVE YEARS to ttc a 4th, but dh hasn't felt like we were ready for another. During this time, I would periodically ask if he was ready yet. Sometimes I'd get a "I think I am." I'd get all excited, and then, boom, I'm let down with a no ttc yet. Imagine how happy I was last summer when dh agreed to ttc starting in August and actually followed through with it. Then several cycles of bfn and more let down. Now, on the cusp of o'ing and hopeful for this cycle, he drops this bomb on me. I'm tired of this emotional roller coaster and almost want to forget about having another and write it off to save me the heartbreak. He is thinking of November due date trying again, I just don't know.

Good luck to all y'all. for everyone! I will lurk and check out who is getting their bfp's and cheer you on.

 

[ERosePW]

Sis, I called and asked my P number, and they said it was 6.2. This was literally a day or two after O, so not that far into my TWW. Does that number sound about normal for that time to you?

Oh no, MomOf3, I'm sooo sorry. They really dont quite fully understand the emotional roller coaster that TTC already is on its own, so to add the indecisiveness is so much worse. What is his reasoning?? If he was ready in August, and might even be ready for a November due date, what is changing his mind this month??

Terri, SCRAMBLED EGGS.... You are killin' me. Thats such a great term. OK, so you explained that you ran out of the CB digital sticks, and went to the FR "line" sticks, right? The ones that look just like a HPT? And each day that you did those, the test line was darker than the control line?? Wow, you're exactly right, your body wants to and is trying. Well, since it wants to so badly and it is trying, don't give up yet... that egg could very easily still come. Your temp might continue upwards tomorrow, and FF might put you down for today as your O date. Make sure to continue BDing anyway.

Garfie, thanks so much for checking on me, I'm hangin' in. I'm certainly better physically. My temps have also dropped to my normal pre-O temps. So at least I feel like my body is maybe back to normal now, and who knows, maybe I will get lucky and still O this month. I'm going to keep up the temping and using OPKs. Praying, praying, praying!! Btw, I read some of your journal, and I'm so sorry you've been through SO much. I also went to the story about DH at the end... I can't believe he told that chick he didnt think he wanted another baby while you guys were out that night. First off, none of her d@mn business, and second, why throw that on you while you guys are out and about? I'm so sorry... that must've been a miserable night. How are things going now?

 

[battyatty]

Oh Mumof3 I understand your plight, I too am in the same situation, Mine was all for it in Aug then since mc he is no way! But he says he wants kids maybe in 5 years! err thats me out then, I am looking for a miracle at 47 but at 52?

Terri sorry about your eggy problem, with all those +OPKs I am sure it will turn up very soon!

Garfie I too read your journal, what can I say that hasnt been said, but seems your OH could be scared, he is maybe afraid that you getting bfn's is hurting you????
