Looking for a buddy who logs in a lot :)

Ye these monitors don't seem worth having - stick to the Internet cheapie sticks if they are working best anyway!

I have to agree. Id rather sell it on ebay and let someone else hopefully have better luck!

------
Nothing new or exciting today. How have you been feeling KM?

Ye feeling ok. Some cramping from time to time. Little bits of nausea when I wake up. More tired than usual. Mainly just normal though!

Got some good progression going on with my tests though which is nice

When do you go for a scan KM?

When do you go for a scan KM?

Not until 7 weeks - 8th August and that is a private one I am paying for for piece of mind (cause I'm driving myself crazy testing)

aww, that does seem like so far away! :hugs:

I know! Only two and a bit weeks though so hopefully will pass quick

I cant say id be much different when we get BFP. After years and it finally happening, id be in disbelief and nervous too! The bottom falling out doesnt make it easier!

Definitely starting to agree about the monitor. Well, the advanced one at least. Which is so incredibly disappointing. The whole reason I even bought the damn thing was bc I liked the fact that I could store info in it (which I thought when purchasing that it let you store temps and did a graph for you, which they SHOULD of Fing done- I mean COME on? They don't even have an app, that you can plug the thing into to transfer the info automatically and chart it all? What were they thinking really?) BUT to my severe disappointment it only records AF and how heavy and BDing, as well as of course the results of your hormone tests, but per instructions as was conveiniently respresented this month, are ambiguous to say the least, and false if I'm being completely honest with myself. Who am I kidding, just like OnErth, said I would of completely missed my window had I been solely relying on it, and I really was just going to use that one this cycle to save on sticks, but decided against and I'm SO glad that I did. The sad part is, you would think that the more expensive and technical piece of gadgetry would be the most accurate, right? Well, not in this case. I'm calling CB today to talk with them about what happened this month and see what they do/say.

ANYWAYS-

Kmpreston- Glad to see you on here again and so happy everything is going well :happydance: I would just be happy that I wasn't having horrible pregnancy symptoms, the retching can be the worst. But maybe since your light on symptoms, it's a boy? Do you have a preference? I would be happy with either, but am leaning more boy just bc this will more than likely be our last and we have a girl already. But, I was going to tell you, that you should look in the phone book/google for all the local 3D/4D US places around and then go follow their FB pages. When I was pregnant with Emma, I found a couple of them near me and they would always do drawings on their FB for various free 3D/4D US packages. And what do you know, I actually WON :happydance: a $400 dollar package!!! Sad part about it is, I had been checking the site everyday to see when they announced the winner, and they named someone else, so I quit going to it. At the time I didn't even know that in your emails on here that there is that "others" box that doesn't give you notifications when one pops up, and I didn't see it until well after giving birth, but the first lady they drew never followed up and they drew again, and I won it that time, only I never Fing knew bc I didn't get a notice from FB and wasn't aware that file of PM's even existed. Talk about disappointing. I had never won anything like that before in my life! But you should totally go and see if any of the one's around you do that, bc your chances of actually winning are way high, not a lot of ladies enter usually. I won a $400 package that was for my entire pregnancy, like US's every 3months, video's of the US's print outs, a recording of the babies heartbeat and mine in a little bear and several other things. Oh and would you post pics of your progressions so far? I find them fascinating and so hopeful to watch ;)

Aayla- Good to see you around hope all is well with you ;)

OnErth- Me too, I would totally be doing test's probably every day to make sure they were getting darker. You know I've actually seen a test on here once that was so positive that the test line sucked up almost all the dye and it was the control line that was faint light pink! Complete opposite of a early BFP, it was actually pretty neat ;)

AFM- My temp rose again, this time a lot more then it had been over the last two days, so I've deffo O'd just waiting on FF to put up crosshairs, but I really don't even need it to, it's going to put them on CD 21, possibly 22 but my money is on 21. So glad it finally happened and we made great timing on our BDing :cloud9:
 
Your temps look good

There's been some retching at random things but no vomit as of yet

In my heart of hearts I would prefer a girl but only because I've always imagined having a daughter. I'll be happy with either after all this time. DH really wants a boy. But our best friends had a girl last month so it would be nice to have daughters close in age

Anyway test porn

Awesome to see the 2-3 weeks.

yes, we are doing IUI next. no shots or anything, just the IUI. I'm quite excited and despite having to do it in a cup hubby is relieved there is no pressure. He said he would rather do it in a cup than have sex be a forced event. Hopefully he won't be working. As soon as af starts I will get him to make sure he won't be scheduled. Hopefully they will be understanding.

Fingers crossed. I assume they do a trigger shot so they know which day?

Yay! How lovely :cloud9: That last one is the best! it's even darker then the control, I bet in week or so you'll barely be able to see the control line bc all the dye will stick to the test line!!! Yeah, you sound like me when it comes to gender preference. Hubs at first said he's want a girl so he didn't have to buy a butt load of stuff all over :rofl: But then when he thought about for a little while he settled on boy, bc we already have a girl. Which I do lean more towards boy, just bc I do have my daughter already, but I have also always had dreams of a baby that I just know is one I am to have and she has blonde hair and blue eye's, like I did as a child. My LO now is dark eyes, dark hair. She's not the baby I've had dreams about, so I'm curious to find out if this next/last baby is the one I've dreamed about since I was a teenager. (BTW, I have psychic dreams, they are normally centered around babies and death, but occasionally other things, but thus far, every dream I've ever had that was one of those types of dreams (bc they are VERY dif. then regular dreams, you just know when you wake up I can't explain it) have come to fruition, so I will probably end up with a girl ;) which I would be just as happy with :cloud9:

I think so. It controls the date better than relying on opks. I think we will see how this first cycle goes. I've tried to tell them I don't get a positive opk until the day of and i get no progression. It's just there. But I know I ovulate on either cd 19 or 20. But they get sort of dismissive and don't want to discuss options until closer to the date. So when I talk to them on day 3 is when I have to tell the nurses again all this info.
 
aayla, I hope they listen because thats a shame if you missed out over their arrogance. I hope you catch the egg the first cycle! Do you feel optimistic or nervous going into it all?

Km, id prefer a boy next but our luck wed get another girl!

Nothing exciting this weekend planned here. It will be HOT HOT. 90+.
:coolio:
 
We have been shopping in Manchester (our nearest city) today and DH has been so cute wanting to look at baby stuff. Been a good distraction from my constant worry that I'm going to start bleeding today (miscarried at 4 and 5 the first time)

Yeah, I have to agree with OnErth on this one. Even though I'm through the roof excited for you, I would be incredibly disappointed in having a doctor and staff that didn't listen to what I was saying bc of their arrogance. It would be so frustrating. You know you would think that they WOULD be listening to you since you have been trying for so long and have the charts to prove it. I would just keep all my bases covered, IF it were me, I would continue to chart this month, just for peace of mind, and if they do not listen to you, then I would get demanding that they did, and made sure that I had proof to show them that they were doing it too early. BUT that's just me. I think I would be really frustrated about it to say the least. And the sad part is, they need you to be as relaxed and easy peasy as you can be for higher odds, and they are inadvertently adding stress to you by not letting you feel like you are heard and a part of this thing.

I think was what really got me when I pregnant with Emma, was when my SO would go out and shop for her, esp when he did it all on his and would come home all excited about what he'd found. It made feel like he he was "a part of it all" bc lets face it, it's all happening to us. lol. Other then the end result of having a baby to take of care we are doing all the cookin and 'hatching" and wouldn't it be nice if it did hatch instead of having to go through labor and birth! :rofl:

And, yes, I would be just as nervous, and know you're going to hate me for this one but really try to not focus on the bad and what "could" happen, just keep visualizing a happy healthy baby growing and what you feel like when they hand them to you at it's birth, focus on the good parts of being pregnant and the end result. It's proven that how you think effects the outcomes of things and negative attracts neg, and positive attracts positive. There are some healthy pregnancy guided meditations on youtube that you could do to keep you mind off things while this time passes. I've even been doing them to visualize a conception happening and a birth. As well as fertility yoga, but they have first tri yoga too.
 
Amber, i could overlay my chart and think its a twin chart- geez, its crazy how similar they are for O rise!
 
Hey, Kmpreston- You're not in the US are you? I was actually wondering if you would mind doing me a favor. I bought a bunch of PT's that are supposed to be really sensitive. They are normally only used in labs, and are very sensitive. I was wondering if I sent you one or two of them if you wouldn't mind using them like 48hr's apart so I could see how the progression is one them once you are as far along as you are. I'm going to find some other girls at different dpo stages and some with very early bfp's to send a few to as well to see if they are super sensitive. They are called OuickVue's and use pink and blue dye. The pink dye is for the testing line, and the blue dye is for the control line. How neat is that. You can also use blood or urine on them. Let me know and then we can PM each other to work out the details ;)

I KNOW!! I was noticing that as well. LOL. I ordered my tarot cards and couple books last night, so I should have them soon. Hopefully. Once they get here I can do a reading for you for free (I wouldn't charge anyone anyways) I haven't done readings for a while, my cards and all my books got left in Cali when we moved bc there wasn't enough room, we could only pack absolute essentials, so I've been without a deck for yrs. But I'm excited about getting them. I also have a pendulum for other type questions and confirmations.

Anyways, everything with you I and our cycles has been totally bizarre and actually really neat, well at least I think it is. Now what would be even crazier is if we both have an implantation dip on same day and get our BFP's on the same DPO as well. And honestly, with as ridiculously similar our cycles have been this month, I honestly believe it's highly possible! :happydance:
 
OnErth- So looking at my chart, when do you think I actually O'd? Your's always put's your O on day that you have a small rise, mine was lined up last month with my last low temp.... I'm not sure what to think about this months chart, bc of the rise curve instead of it going from low to high over the course of one day.

I think you Od cd21 because that was the last day of your fertile CM but your temp may be cd22 due to the rise after.

FF put CD14 BUT if i put in a phantom temp for tomorrow, it says CD15 with solid cross hairs. I do not think it was 14.
FF may change it again with other temps because using the FAM method, it doesnt give me crosshairs yet- only on Advanced and Research.

Either way im POAS July 31! Not testing before that unless something really jumps out at me symptom wise.
 
I will be pretty persistent in getting them to listen to me as this isn't timed sex now. I have to make them understand I do not ovulate on cd 14 and my O day isn't even consistent anymore after the mc. Before the mc it was cd 17. Afterwards it was cd 19, I think once on cd 18 and cd 20. Today is cd 22 and I got ewcm today and loads of creamy to ew yesterday. I know I didn't ovulate because I can't but the cm shifted this month too. So who knows when i will ovulate next month.

good for you for knowing ahead of time what you want to say and push for!

If theres a next cycle, i know I will be taking a break from FE. I likely wont O.
 
oh and I forgot to answer the other question..I am both nervous and excited. I'm getting impatient because I just want to start this all up again. But so much is going on outside of ttc that it's easy for me to be distracted.
