Lucky March Shamrocks [25 BFPs, 4 angels<3]

[pradabooties]

prada- how are you determining if you are late? Even if you have "regular" cycles, the number of days before you ovulate can change in any given month. It's only the days after ovulation that are truly constant. Maybe you just had a late ovulation this month. No matter what though, you're not out until the shows - so good luck!

Hi KrissyB, thanks for your reply! I am fairly sure I ovulated on time because I had light spotting for a day in late Feb and that made me wonder so I downloaded a fertility tracking app and aligned with my last period it was to the day spot on for ovulation. I could be wrong, but that's what I was going from But I'll keep that in mind! I've been reading some women don't get a BFP til 2-3 weeks late so its all quite confusing

I am having a very frustrating day.

SilasLove Yay for the +OPK!! Get some more BDing in, and I hope you catch the eggy this cycle!!

pradabooties, unfortunately as you aren't certain of when ovulation happened, its impossible to say what could be going on! Most likely, you merely ovulated late and so AF will be "late". Other possibilities are that you're one of the few women who have to be REALLY late for a BFP, or possibly that you haven't ovulated at all.
I would say your best bet is to just wait it out and keep on BD'ing, just in case ... and keep testing once a week or so until you get a BFP or AF arrives. In the meantime, try to be as low stress as possible and get plenty of sleep. My ovulation day was delayed by 22 days later than usual this cycle because my sleep was being disrupted. I ovulated after 4 nights of good sleep.
I hope you get an answer soon!! Waiting one way or the other sucks

:wave: Heya ellla!! I've put you down for the 28th -- good luck this cycle, I hope you get your rainbow sticky bean

Emillie I'm sorry that you've had a frustrating day! Feel free to vent here

I will vent maybe it will feel better. Okay so I am a nanny for my cousin. She is so clueless on being a mom well because she doesn't have to be. She brings him to my house while she works because she wasn't going to be able to pay me enough to drive to her house. Plus she said it would be easier to just bring him to me. I am perfectly okay with that. Well when she picks him up she takes him to her mom's house and her mom gives him a bath and takes care of him then around her bed time she takes him home and her husband tAkes care of him until she goes asleep. She feeds and changes him over night. She has never bathed him either I do or her mother does. She had never clipped his nails because I do. He spends the weekends with her husband or her mom. Okay now I rambled far to long. My frustration is Friday I asked her to bring me some extra clothes because she took all I had here and I don't know why. I reminded her Sunday and she forgot the. Yesterday so I remind her last night and this morning. She bring them finally. He spits up everywhere and I go to put the clothes on and realized they are two sizes to small. He wears 9-12 months depending on the outfit. She brought 3-6month clothes then swore I was putting them on wrong and she tried when she got here and said they must have shrunk. I was like they didn't shrink he isn't in that size. She said they are his size. I was like he hasn't been in that size for a while. She was denying the whole time that she brought the wrong size even thought the tag says it is 3-6 months she swears they are 12 month outfit and they shrunk or I did something to them I was like whatever can you bring some more tomorrow. Mind you I had to cancel my specialist appt and it couldn't be rescheduled because they are booked because I had no clothes and he spit up as I was putting him in his car seat to leave. I love watching the baby and loved the baby so I don't want to stop watching him. But it is frustrating to deal with all of this and try for an baby knowing that she tried for him and yet she doesn't want to take care of him.

That was way a really long rant.

Congratulations LynAnne!

Welcome Ella!

Emilie: She really doesn't sound like she actually wants to be a mother. I'm sorry that it got so frustrating for you but I'm glad that the baby actually has someone looking after him who cares! Good luck to you!

aley: Thanks! It gives me a slight bit of hope because if I'm not mistaken, after your short AF, you got your bfp..? I can always hope!

AFM: CD 6 here, nothing exciting...

Originally she wasn't going to have biological kids because she didn't want to lose her body. Then her husband said that he wanted have biological kids . She finally talked him into a baby. Then she complained the whole time she was pregnant about being pregnant. She hated when the baby kicked. She even got her doctor to induce her at 36 weeks. Because she was anxious. She started crying hysterically in his office because she was tired of being pregnant. So he said she was being induced because of anxiety.

Im a nanny too Emilie!! Ever heard the advice "Never nanny for family"? she seems so frustrating sorry you have to put up with that.

 

[Emiloo]

Oh AFM- 11dpo, AF due today or tomorrow. Got BFN this morning and my temp nose dived

 

[faith2015]

ellla - hey!!! Good Luck on the 28th

Emiloo - I let you down I couldn't test this morning!! I have just having symptoms that AF is about to show her face Sorry about your BFN!! I am hoping that next month will be different for us both!! FX and baby
How many days is a normal cycle for you? I just bought a BBT thermometer, so I am going to try this temping stuff!!

Being a nanny for family isn't bad. I have been a nanny for someone that isn't family way worse I am not as open and straight forward with them.. It isn't that she is family that is the problem any way. It is she doesn't care enough for her son to be a mom. With my cousin I am blunt. It is just like talking to a brick wall though.

 

[Mom2sam]

Emilie must be so frustrating hopefully she goes shopping & gets him the right size clothes. Wonder if her husband or mum have picked up on these things too & spoke to her. Hope someone gets through to her anyway. I dont understand if she cant spend any time with the child why she had him, that upsets me because they dont choose to be born so mother needs to stop being selfish & spend some time with her child

 

[Mom2sam]

8dpo i know it's early but tested & bfn will test again tomorrow. Tmi but Got lots of creamy cm today usually can go both ways for me but today it's alot more & thicker fx

Its horrible having to witness parents not wanting to look after their own kids. I look after my charges Mon- Thurs but the parents are very involved in their upbringing and try really hard when I'm not there. I guess all you can do is keep trying and hope that one day she realises Do you have him Monday to Friday? I hope tomorrow is better for you!!
