MAY we all be blessed with baby! May 2013 and beyond (BFFs Seeking BFPs)

[Ruskiegirl]

Really needing someone to talk to so I can get my mind off of all this testing stuff I still have two days to wait before I could get a BFP and this is taking forever It seems like my days are going by so slow anticipating Monday....Grrr I just want to but I can't as I have a toddler

Buy some cheapies to cure the urge , I get 100 hpts and 100 opks for $40 total cause I use them alot

I hate waiting , I am waiting constantly during this whole baby making thing it should be call trying to wait lol Should start seeing some signs of ovulation in a few days I start getting o pains a few days before o

Basicly you wait for to go away , You wait for ovulation , You wait for testing day or t o come again , If you get your you wait for milestones during pregnancy , Them you wait for then to be born , Then you wait for them to go to school , then you wait for them to turn to adults and move out , Then you wait for marriage and grandchildren BUTTTT It is so worth all that waiting

LOL I wish I could but DH won't let me spend the kind of monet on HPT's he doesn't understand why I have to POAS so early even though I pretty much already know it will be negative. He wants to put away every extra dime for when I do give him a BFP! He's so cute

Hehe what about some dollar store test ? They carry opks and hpts

 

[burgbrandy]

I used to sneak plenty of dollar store tests bought with spare change. Lol! The month we were supposed to take a break, i had to sneak opks. now at least hubby is on board...he lets me buy 50 of each every other cycle. Mostly cuz he spends money on hunting stuff. Lol!

 

[MamaBear93]

I have already snuck two cheap dollar store tests in bfn on both but it did curb my urge for the day I love testing. I just want to do it all of the time. DH buys stuff for his guns all of the time and I still don't get to buy 50 sticks lol. But he says I waste money on a whole bunch of other things during the weeks so it all adds up :laugh:

 

[Jean40]

Hey everyone! Could you add me to test on June 7?

I was wondering if anyone did saliva testing? I use a regular microscope at work, so I decided to put some spit on a glass slide, let it dry, have a look and yes, definite ferning today (possible O day or the day after O). I'm surprised I haven't really noticed it before (I really didn't think about it) because we make cheek smears for testing the stains we use at work (hospital lab), so the saliva would've been there, but I was looking for cheek cells, not the ferning. Now I'm going to have to keep on checking it to see how it changes through my cycle.

 

[MzImpatient]

Can I be put on for June 24th? Thanks!

 

[burgbrandy]

I wish i had a saliva microscope but cant get hubby to spend thr money on one. Lol! We spend enough on opks, hpts, vitamins, and everything else for ttc. He doesnt think its nescessary. Lol! Ill con one out of him at some point. Lol!

Unfortunately i cant use my hubbys gun and hunting purchases against him either cuz i use it all too...but he is an nra member and north american hunting club member, so all of his membership dues are a good bargaining chip for me. It gives me a $30 a month amazon allowance. except for last month and this month...i made a deal to stock up and then no purchases for two cycles so he would buy me a tablet. he he! Little did he know, i had 70 hpts and 50 opks stock piled. i am sad to say i have only 23 opks for next cycle left and only 21 hpts that are supposed to last this cycle and next cycle. Blah! Im sure i can con him into hpts next cycle as long as i make the opks stretch. Lol!

Just con'd DH into buying me more FRER's so I can start testing Sunday!! He wanted beer and I wanted FRER's so we came to an agreement lol Now I hope I get a BFP this month. I just want another is that too much to ask for? UGH! I am still feeling pretty unsure about this month anyway But it is still worth a shot

lol YEY! I get to start testing on Sunday. I hope I can wait until then to test. Geez it seems so far away DH and I have a very comfortable marriage and we generally do very well with compromise as we both understand that we have wants and we can make it to where we both get what we want and still love each other. Nothing is sacred any more either. He knows everything that happens with me. Which is why I am also having a hard time deciding if I should tell him the results of my tests.

I'm not telling my hubby when I get pregnant, I'm going to work with my 2 closest friends to surprise the heck out of him

I love the idea of surprising him with it but I am not sure if I would be able to hold back my excitement long enough to plan that out. I thought of having my 2 year old tell him and give him the positive test I think it would be so adorable and it is a good way to involve DD in the early stages as well instead of waiting until I am showing because she knows that babies come from mommy bellys I have a friend that is pregnant and she is showing so we have explained the concept to her a lot. Every time she sees her she asks if she can touch the baby She is sooo adorable. I think that will be what I do this time for sure

@Jean40 Welcome to the group! I haven't done saliva testing, but I think it sounds interesting. It's cool that you have access to it. Let us know how it goes. Good luck!


@amanda111308 I'm sorry. Did you use the same type of test? Was the one you used today sensitive? Here's a link to fertilityfriend.com that explains temping/charting. They also have a good course. It's definitely a big help in determining when ovulation occurs and how long your luteal phase is.

@MamaPeaches A temp drop, spotting, ewcm, and o pains are all great signs of ovulation. I'd say bd just in case and for the next 1-2 days just to make sure. Continue to monitor cm and temps. I agree that temps will be the thing to confirm ovulation especially if/when opks give you trouble. Good luck!

@allforthegirl I hope it's the start of your BFP!! Keep us updated!

@ClandestineTX There's some of that knowledge I remarked about when you joined the group. Thanks!

@Footiec I was wondering about you! Congratulations! I'm so happy for you. I'll add BFP beside your name. Let us know how you tell dh.

@melann13 I'm so happy for you. I know this will be it. I'm glad you're sticking around with us as well. I can't wait to follow your pregnancy.

@MzImpatient I'm so sorry. Why does the evil witch have to bring the pain? It's bad enough that she comes. I updated your date. I hope June is your month!

@EAandBA_TTC I hope you're being put on the path to your BFP!

@KatyW Your temps look so good. I'm very hopeful for you!

@J_Lynn How will you surprise him? I'm so interested in knowing what people plan to do. I have only taken one hpt during the third month of trying. I try to limit myself based on how high my temp is at 13 dpo. We used a Walmart cassette type test and he wanted to be the one to drop it into the test to make sure it was done right and that he was there!?!

 

[KatyW]

I definitely love the idea of surprising the husband - I certainly couldn't do that with our first child - I kept the secret for only about 10 seconds. I also think it would be fun to photograph it/ document the occasion with video...

 

[MamaBear93]

7-8DPO caved and took a FRER bfn...ugh...I wsh I would stop doing that. Now I have to wait till Sunday to test again...

 

[chulie]

Jean40...veery interesting!!! I've actually never even heard of this saliva testing. What is different with our saliva when we ovulate?

Mamabear...your still a few days early so do not fret!!

Omg what a great idea showing up at dh work!! I don't know if I've told you ladies my plan??? Skip this part if I have. HAhaha. I test on the 9th. Father's Day is the next weekend. So my plan is to not tell him for a whole week and then on Father's Day give him his usual card from me... Card from our dd. and then ill tell him I have one more card from someone special. It's gonna be from baby #2. The plan is so genius it's worth not telling him. The thing is......can I do it???? Can I lay beside him in bed at night and NOT tell him?? I've already told him test day is June 18th. Hahaaha. So he won't bug me about it (thank god for him being clueless). But it's such a great idea it's sooo worth it!!! With our first I told him the first second he walked through the door....but I think I can convince myself it's such a great way to tell. For the greater good I have to keep my mouth shut. And I can get it on video because we always tape/video Father's Day....

I also know how I'm telling the rest of my family. I have a niece and 2 nephews who are 10,7 and 5. So they're old enough to know everything but still young enough I need to protect them from bad news. So. I've decided I'm only going to tell my sister and then once I'm 10 weeks ill go for a private scan and get confirmation. Once I get that. I'm planning to bring dessert because we visit my moms every Sunday and I'm gonna tell everyone to stick around because I have a special dessert for them. In gonna get either a cake or a cookie cake or something and write on it "I'm pregnant". So they'll all see it together. I'm also ordering dd a shirt that says "only child membership expiring..." An then the month were due. I'm gonna use that on dh side and my extended family and anyone else we have to tell. Hahaha

Yes I'm really going all out. This is my last. I want to make it memorable!!
