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

[GRGirl]

Lisa- I'm keeping my FX for you. I would get in to the dr, just in case.

Sweetz- I SO wish I could eat Taco Bell! Stupid wedding diet *grumble grumble* I'm trying so hard to be good, so I mostly end up eating protein bars, chicken, SF lattes, etc. Nothing exciting *sigh*

AFM, feeling better, no tears yet today and the cramping stopped. Getting kinda nervous wondering when or even if I'll O this cycle (FX I will!) and if it'll be late, early, or just not at all. Trying to keep busy with wedding planning, but I even did most of that already so I don't even have that to distract me!

Oh boy I'm going to try to catch up now. I can't just sit and read, caring for dd and doing house stuff a bit. So it's taken me an hour and a half of off and on reading to catch up I wonder how long it'll take me to type this up? I rely on the multi-quote feature to make sure I reply to everyone, and with the new forum skin I can't tell if I've selected it properly or not. So I hope I don't miss anyone/anything!

Sweetz, that's so wonderful that you have the green light to ttc again! That's so much quicker than you had feared! Really happy for you. Glad your lil guy is feeling better! And that was a lovely tribute to your angel baby. So thankful that Xan is ok.

Hi florence. I'm ashamed to say I can't recall if I've welcomed you already or not. So just in case...so sorry you find yourself here, but welcome. Hope you get your bfp quickly! I can try to help best I can with the OPK stuff but first...are you taking them just AM only or are you also taking them at night? I agree though if you're not temping I'd try to at least do every other day for a while longer if you can, but don't pressure yourselves.

Hi wishing! Welcome to you as well. So sorry for your loss.

ttcmoon, I guess testing day is coming up now. Hope you get a wonderful surprise. That is really exciting about the new place! (Also, it just occurred to me, there's a saying "new house, new baby" and that is what happened to me with dd. Fx it works for you. )

ES, sorry your back issues are continuing. The Art Therapy thing sounds really cool! Got me thinking, I still think it's other things that were occurring around the same time, but I was a lot hornier with more "textbook normal" cycles back when I was playing violin all the time. Maybe that's further motivation to dig back into my music.

ES, just got to the part about your test results. How frustrating. I hope it doesn't have you down too much and you can look forward to knowing the next step. Will you still be able to do the art therapy? I agree, might as well practice while you save up. You never know.

Kat, it's so wild how real those kinds of dreams can be. Fx for you. I imagine it's too early to feel anything anyway?

Unexpected, hi and welcome to you as well. What an emotional rollercoaster (understatement). Glad you're feeling better now. Hope you get your rainbow soon.

Heather, welcome (wow so many new ladies, so great to meet you all even though I wish it were under better circumstances)! Praying for a sticky bean for you. I tried Mucinex just one cycle and couldn't really tell that it did anything. Have you done it before?

garfie, sorry AF got you. Come on garfie's rainbow baby, get in your momma's belly! I don't know anything about those saliva microscopes. I hear they are good though they have a bit of a learning curve.

lisa, I've been hoping and praying that all is well. I would be scared too if I saw the kinds of things again that I had at the start of my m/c. But there are stories of women and one of my good friends had spotting throughout her 1st tri. So praying so hard it has no real meaning and you continue to have a healthy pregnancy!

pink, sorry you're having a tough go of it, but glad you got to get a little pampering in. You deserve it.

I'm sure I missed some people. All the other pregnant ladies...starry, left, tricia...hope you're doing great.

Everyone else, *waves*

Florence, I'm so sorry DH has had so many family things going on. Previous BD is the way to go I think with the OPKs as when I got preggers both times we didn't BD when I ov'd. DH was out of town the first time, then the second time he was sick and we BD'd both times a day or so before my positive OPK. Since OV happens 12-48 hours after your positive you still got time to BD one more time for safe measure. Long as you guys are doing ok, thoughts with your family with all that you have going on.

Hi Mowat! Hopefully if the meds did affect your cycle, it's just this one as your body is sorting out and you're back on schedule next cycle.

Lisa, thinking of you hun.

Hello everyone! Back to work I go. I'll have to do the tip on copy/paste so I can get everyone in.

I see then hmm. Hoping I remember everything. Ok so for the bleeding you experienced before, I don't know if that makes you EXTRA fertile but it can be a fertility sign. This is probably not relevant anymore as you got your +opk this morning but I don't think the spotting before was ovulation spotting because that's often considered a result of your egg popping and that hadn't happened yet, you'd get the +opk first. But I think it can also be from the various hormonal changes that happen before ovulation too. So especially since it's not all the time and assuming it was just a scanty amount over the course of a day or maybe two, I wouldn't be too concerned about it.

It's possible you've DTD enough, but if you two are up for it, I'd definitely try to do it again tonight for good measure. You're likely to ovulate within 24-48 hours of that +opk so doing it tonight you're almost sure not to miss the window. Your safest bet would be to do it the next two days. Maybe even three if you really want to cover your bases. I think someone else mentioned that you can gear up to ovulate (get a +opk) and still not actually ovulate unless you confirm with a thermal shift. So I think you're probably for real about to ovulate, but since you're not temping yet, you might keep an eye out for other clues like CM. Hmm, I'm starting to sound too clinical. Just try to have some fun for a couple of days and no matter what happens I think you'll have done your part quite well.

Hahaha I don't mind you stalking me. Although...my chart is misleading (I *just* now updated it), I'm actually on CD7. I brought my thermometer on my trip but I only got a temp one day. The next two days I didn't for various reasons. Even this morning I didn't get a good one because I refused to set my alarm this morning (my last day before I go back to work). So that's three days of no temping. Back to a better routine tomorrow.

I have had another positive opk just this afternoon the blood spotting was just once and not even as much as when u spit blood (sorry if no one else does this lol but my gums are extra sensitive) ive had a dull crampy feeling all day too my +opk was just as strong as this mornings 8 hrs ago. ill just DTD as often as I can if hubby wants to and hope for the best, if id not used opks id prob have had a DTD break it just shows how u can miss ur window by a narrow margine fxd I get my bfp and give my hubby a rainbow to focus on . thanks so much for ur time and patience everyone on here is so lovely and understanding xxx

 

[eyemom]

GL florence! Yep once you get your +opk you'll likely have a + for a couple of days. You don't have to keep testing until it's negative but it can be interesting. As I guess garfie could attest.

 

[garfie]

Eye - yep I think I won that award last month

Let's hope this month is a lot cheaper

[florence_]

lol thx girls I only have one opk left so I might as well pee on it cause either way if I catch I wont need it, if I dot I still need to buy more! that's my theory (that's the psycho in me justifying my new poas obsession!!) thx girls will keep u updated xxbabydustxxx

 

[Sweetz33]

GR just bc I ate it, doesn't mean I should of LOL I paid for it......oy vey I was daring and ate Panda Express tonight...WTH is wrong with me?

 

[nevergivingup]

Sweetz:::o I hear babies crying in the air, is that's what's going on with that appetite...

 

[Tricia173]

Lisa, thinking about you, fingers crossed there is nothing wrong !

 

[Sweetz33]

IDK Never, but I did pee a lot today...didn't drink more than usual either. I am keeping my fingers crossed. I really want this now that I thought about it. I am not getting any younger and DH is already 42...so yeah. PLEASEEEEE Xan needs a lil sister LOL

 

[Sweetz33]

Has anyone heard anything from Lisa?????????

 

[Kat S]

Well, it's only been 24 hours since we heard from Lisa. She could just be busy. I hope so!!

Hi everyone! I went to the Doc today to get my 1st set of blood drawn. My HCG is just over 60,000! So it's right on target for a 7 week pregnancy. However, my progesterone is somewhat low at 18. They say that could be the reason for the spotting. They were supposed to call in a prescription for a supplement but when I got to the pharmacy, the pharmacy said that the prescription wasn't called in! So I will be calling the Doc in the morning. I go for the 2nd set of testing on Friday evening. At this HCG level, it takes about 96 hrs to double. So I will be happy if my HCG is at least 85000 or 90000.

The spotting is about the same. Slightly more noticeable than when it 1st started. But no red yet. So I am still hopeful for now.

Thank you all for your kind thoughts

 

[eyemom]

Thanks for the update.

 

[nevergivingup]
