Nevergivingup - yes! I had to share with you and Bamagurl as soon as I knew. The two of you were always in touch and super supportive so how the heck could I not!
Bamagurl - come out and play! I know school plus pregnancy is dealing with you.
Storked - I am looking forward to your return ... in the mean time I think I will stalk the other threads you may be posting in
MnJ - I think this may be the first time we're connecting on here. Thank you for your kind word! Also thanks for giving me a number to compare against. I was concerned after my first beta given that my first pregnancy my beta was lik 350 or something. Then again ... I don't remember what day DPO I was and it wasn't a healthy one and it failed to double. I hope to compare baby blobs with you in the future!
HisGrace - those are some sexy betas you have there. When were they taken? How far along were you?
Janelleybean - I must say, I love your sweet demeanor. Its refreshing! I would gladly order you that veggie pizza you're noming over. LOL
AngelSerentity - Thank you! I praying for a little shining to come your way too. I'm sorry you have to wait a couple months before getting back to the baby making business. After my loss, I had to wait 3 months and I swear I thought it was going to die during the wait. It seemed to last forever. Testing? I likely missed the story surrounding your testing.
Kanicky - Thank you! How are you? Cheeseheads UNIIIIITE! Lol
Krissy - I hate when men are insensitive or emotionally inept. What do you mean he said nothing?! There is nothing more painful then pouring your heart out in hopes of a resolution only receive silence in return. I love that you love and love hard but I can't help but feel that you're not getting all that you deserve. Mind you I am not ignorant to the fact that men are a mess at times, mine included but you're really, really trying to make things work. I was thinking ... I could arrange to have the goon I am going to find to "change Sweetz DH life" to swing by and scare your DH a little bit? Sound good?
Everyone else I missed this go around, thanks for making this thread what it is, dynamic.
AFM - Well I am doing well and my betas are behaving so I am thankful and optimistic. I will be going for an early scan at 5 weeks to be sure that the little person is locate where he/she is suppose to be. I will certainly keep everyone posted.
I thought it might nice to share what I didn't differenly this time around.
1. No stress which mean less time on the thread (I don't want to see a mass exodus!) because I was obssessing.
2. Grapefruit juice ... its not all hype. I had sooooooo much fertile CM that my husband (TMI alert) had to stop our sessions just to wipe away the excess. Was too slippery
3. Loads of whole milk as it facilitates ovulation. My ovulation this month was so obvious to me this cycle ... I swear I could tell you when my ovary punted that egg through the goal post!
4. OPKs Clear Blue Smily Digital starting on CD 6. I'd read some where that testing mid day is best. I was skeptical but its true. In the morning, I had a negative that afternoon I go the smily.
5. Allowing the magic serum marinate. Some nights I literally fell asleep with my bottom propped in the air and didn't wake until the morning when it was time to go work. 8 solid of hours of sperm meets egg conferences.
I hope this information is useful to someone else. I am totally open to question.
Yay, I do grapefruit juice and whole milk too! Yay! I have tried to do the prop up part but its hard because my daughter doesnt go to bd after my hubby does most nights. Sometimes I have to pee immediately after BDing too.
I have that problem to, wanting to pee right after. So I would almost stop, the start of sessions so I can pee. I would also cut myself off from liquids earlier when I remember. If you can't keep the bottom up, maybe you can try the instead/soft cups. They didn't work for me because I didn't know how to put them right ... Once I put it in, it stayed in but all of the serum ... down the drain.
I have thought about softcups. They dont look very expensive when I pass them in the store. I am going to take LD Aspirin like Janelley next cycle if this isn't the one. As far as liquids, I dont think I could cut back earlier because I hardly remember to drink anything during the day unless its with a meal (I try to drink at least 24 ounces of water or milk with a meal).
The symptoms sure do sound promising. What CD are you on? I think I bought my softcups for $5 at Walmart. They $8+ at CVS and Walgreens. Yeah, if you can manage to use the cups that would be better than reduce liquid intake. I hope this is your month!
I'm on CD 25 but my cycle ranges from 30-42 days since I miscarried in March. I expect AF or BFP (FX) on my "would of been" due date next Saturday.
