March/April BFP's who's going for it!! NEW LADIES COME JOIN IN!!

[janelleybean]

Ok, Sweetz prego Brain or bad memory rubbed off on me. I'm not sure who posted the recipie Sweetz or Janelleybean but whoever it was i need it mailed to me not the recipie But the Cookies!!

Armymama: Granola bars I love. It makes me feel healthier. O and sorry for my mix up. But hang in there.

HisGrace and Aspe: Hi ladies!!

The scrapbook I'm glad yal like, and Sweetz I love the idea of giving it to your children. I seriously am going to start me one...ughh I have no prior positive hpt so I may have to POAS to start my scrap book. I wish I kept all my appt. Cards and things...I'm def keeping everything now!!

LOL Never, your memory is so off. Please change my testing date to September 1st. I said GRANOLA not granola bars. I have yet to make granola bars. I just make loose crunchy granola to eat as a healthier cereal or mix with greek yogurt as a yummy snack.

I think it's a pregnancy thing. I said I was making peanut butter granola bars, you were talking about granola, sweetz was talking about a peanut butter cookie recipe for storked, because she made some peanut butter cookies. I know it's hard to follow.

MnJ- I hope you come back!!! I want to hear about you, your boyfriend, and that sticky little bean growing inside of you! COME BACK COME BACK COME BACK!!!

Where is Shefali?? Did she ever get a BFP, anybody know?

 

[Sweetz33]

Hehe Never...if you were closer I would just make them for ya!

Thursday is the big day!! Can't wait!!!

 

[Aspe]

Sorry for no personal replies, I'm just getting home from work. I just wanted to say I order 80 OPK's and like 80 Internet cheapies hpt. Also, I ordered a basal thermometer. As for OPK's, I use to only take one a day at the same time, should I be taking more than one a day? I am new to the basal testing, do I have to do this the same time every day and do I take it once a day? When my numbers peak, is that when I am ovulating or possible implantation?

I will write personal replies after I manage to get a late supper. Thanks

 

[Storked]

Sweetz, thanks for the recipe! Can't wait for Thursday!

Janelley, I have thought about a blog to. Once I have something worth blogging about hehe. I am sorry your baby's bum is raw!

Can't wait to hear back from you Krissy!

Aspe, you may try using the OPKs twice a day to really catch your surge? As for basal temp, you need to take it the same time every day when you wake up. And you need to have slept for a minimum of...4 hours maybe? You wake up, don't get out of bed or uncover or anything, and take your temp. Orally or vaginally, totally up to you. BBT will help tell you when you have already ovulated, it won't catch it before. Phew I hope I helped!

 

[Sweetz33]

With temping you check same time every day. Morning when just getting up is best as activity can greatly change temp (as does stress, lack of sleep, etc.) You temp usually rises the day before or of (can't remember which) of ovulation. If I remember correctly you will have a noticable "dip" and they call that implantation dip. Temp will go back up again and stay up if pregnant. I do know most (not all) will have a temp drop right before period is due.

If I got any of that wrong, ladies feel free to correct me. Just going off personal experience.

Hope that helps Aspe!

MnJ- CONGRATS!!!! That is wonderful news! It's so great to see you, Angel, and LPJ get pregnant at practically the same time. Very happy for you.

Aspe- I think you mentioned that if you don't ovulate, you only have half a chance? I 2nd and 3rd the opinion to get checked by a Dr. I don't know if it would be an OB/GYN or a fertility specialist. But they do some sort of test around a certain time of the month to see if you ovulated. You should try to call ASAP b/c I'm sure they get booked up fast.

Never- I'm so jealous of your 12 week gift pack!!!! I STILL haven't gotten any magazines. It's really due to me being lazy though. After my appt on Thursday, I was exhausted and just wanted to come home. I have to put that on my list of things to do.

Storked- I'm excited that you're excited too! Really hope this is your month.

 

[lisalee1]

BayBeeEm- Sorry that AF showed up. I can totally understand you wanting to take it easy and at your own pace. You will be missed. But feel free to stalk us from time to time. We all have a fingers crossed for you.

Hopestruck- I'm hoping you're hanging in there and recovering as you need to. Miss you!

Kanicky- Have you done any internet research on the soy? Do other people have weird periods too after taking them? Had to laugh about you not looking forward to BD. TTC can turn into a chore sometimes! Do you do the everyday method or every other day? The latter might not be so exhaustive.

 

[Sweetz33]

Lisa I haven't gotten anything either...

I'm trying to decide between an OB and a midwife. I'm leaning more towards midwife as this time I can't get epidural and midwives tend to be more soft spoken. I just don't know. The midwife for my doctor's office is VERY experienced. She has been doing this for over 50 years. They joke and say she probably delivered all the doctors there! She was also the one who helped me through the miscarriage. My OB is great. Really cool guy, but my last appointment he was a bit standoffish. I am thinking bc he was in a rush. I just am not sure which to choose. They said I don't need to decide right now, and I have up until the time I deliver to make the decision. They said if I choose midwife and a complication arises, the OB would be on call and be right there as well.

What are y'all doing? Midwife or OB?

 

[MnJ]

I am sorry, girls, for any discomfort or sadness or whatever I caused by making a reappearance with pics of what I was so freaking out wondering if they were really bfps! I didnt think, I just came right away to u guys cuz I know u all have been going thru the same thing. This whole month I've been so scared to hope or read into side effects cuz I fully expected nothing to work for me. Thank u sooooooo much to those of u who gave congrats and were happy for me. U made me feel so much better!! Thank u especially to janelleybean for caring. Ur a freakin sweetheart!!

 

[lisalee1]

Sweetz- If you're low risk, definitely go with the midwife!!!! B/c of my prior surgery, I will have to have an OB.

I guess we will have to buy our own magazines, huh?

 

[janelleybean]

MnJ!! I'm so happy that you decided to come back! Now, have you told that sweet man of a boyfriend yet? I bet he is going to be excited as well. I wish you a happy and healthy 9 months. Keep us posted. We're all here to support one another.

AFM- The granola bars are delicious! My little mans butt is getting better. We did a baking soda soak in the kitchen sink. That seemed to help last time. We got this really deep sink when we remodeled our kitchen. Seriously, he is 2 and fits with so much room to spare. Who says you're too big to take a bath in the sink?!

I would upload a picture, but apparently, it's too big...

 

[armymama2012]

I just got a FF account and entered all my info. How do I post it?

They say I am high risk, which is why the OB would be on call too. I can't have an epidural bc I have already had 3 and a spinal tap. I have constant back pain. The doctors are afraid that if I get another needle in the spine that the risk of paralysis is there. I'm not going to risk it. Rather feel the pain and be able to walk, then risk it and be unable to walk hand and hand with my children.

Oh yes I was telling him everything all day. Sent him pics of the ic tests this morning and what the dr said after the b/w. He's cautiously excited as we're just wanting to make sure everything is going to progress ok!! I go next week for more b/w to make sure hcg going up like it should.

 

[HisGrace]

mnj - Congratulations on your bfp!

lpjkp - Congratulations on making it to the next week. That's very promising.

BayBeeEm - Sorry about AF I totally understand needing to take a break. I've taken several while TTC.

Storked - I tried preseed and soft cups awhile back. I think I used softcups when we conceived. I may need to revisit that. thanks for the reminder.

armymama - sorry about your bfn. that really does suck. I have seen the not pregnant so many times that I had to quit buying that kind. I have three left, but I refuse to use them until I know I'm pregnant, and by know I mean if i've tested positive on one of my cheapies. But if you're really only 6 DPO you're definitely not out.

Sweetz - Yay for ultrasounds. how exciting. those cookies look yummy.

Never - Hi :wave:. I can only log in once a day so I feel like I miss out on everything. But I love this thread so much so it's fun to catch up.

AFM: I'm on CD 9 and my CBFM is low. We are kind of doing the SMEP but once my CBFM hits high we're going every day until a few days after I get a peak. I really wanted to temp this cycle, but I can never remember. Once my alarm goes off I'm so annoyed that the first thing I do is hit snooze and turn around. It doesn't dawn on my that I forgot to take my temp until I'm using my CBFM. It's a little late to get started this cycle and hopefully I won't need to temp after this because I'll have my bfp.

Thanks, can you go up and look at my chart in the link? A lot of ladies are saying I may be only 8 dpo. I need more opinions.

 

[Storked]

Armymama how many DPO were you when testing positive for your daughter? 8 would still be early for me- my first TWW was more like a three week wait!

HisGrace this is my first time with soft cups and holy easy! I had been worried that they would be big or difficult but are neither. These may convert menstrual cups for AF! But I hope we both get pregnant with a sticky baby using them! Can't wait for your "high"

Never...never use pre-seed in the dark! I used a bit much when we decided to go at it after a nap but my husband was happy so I guess it turned out ok. I just don't want to use it all second try hehe!

 

[Storked]

And Sweetz, OUCH. I wish I could see a midwife when pregnant but it was hard enough for me to find a high-risk OB! Lame-o

I dont know how far along we were. We werent actually trying then. But I just put in the day they said i conceived on a due date calculator. I must have been 11 DPO when I got my positive test with my daughter.
