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

[Tangerine]

@Ruskiegirl: Sorry she got you, I hope your master plan pays off with a July BFP!

littlesteph, your AF is due at the same time as mine according to FF, and there definitely was something on your test yesterday. You still have lots of time for it to turn into 2 strong lines.

Dannixo, I hope all of your procedures go smoothly and give you all of the answers you need to get your BFP.

AFM, just when I was trying to relax after my and get ready to welcome the witch: FF has flagged my chart this morning as "Possibly Triphasic on Day 24." My temp went down slightly again this morning but it's still high (36.90 C / 98.42 F).

I don't want to waste my other FRER and get another BFN so I'm going to wait to test later this week, probably Thursday. Fingers crossed for a few more days of these high temps in the meantime.

Happy Anniversary to you Hopeful I love the plan to take things slow. If AF gets me I will probably make that a goal for myself next month too!

@KatyW, good luck - I grew up in a military family and know planning isn't something that's possible most of the time!

@Tangerine - your chart is awfully promising, I hope it's a good sign for you.

AFM... temp still up. Just waiting to find out if I've somehow made it into the TWW a week (or more) early...

I did do another test this morning all though I could see something in the time limit I could barely make it out

Thanks. Maybe you did O early? I guess you could still have 2 fluke temps but I think 3 would confirm it tomorrow? Good luck

@AllStar It's really hard to say what happened without BBT. A shorter ovulatory cycle would be great, but it could have also been an anovulatory cycle. Most women have them occasionally. It's impossible to say whether you ovulated or not without BBT. With the spotting that you had for 3-4 days before AF, I would probably guess that your short cycle was anovulatory.

I've decided when hubby gets back from work I am making him do one of the tests that way i'll know if it's the start of a bfp that can't make its mind up or the tests

Hi ladies. I have not been on very much recently but figured I'd give an update. Not trying in June seemed like forever and was very hard. I have my post op surgery doctor appt tomorrow morning. I'm on a liquid only diet for 24 hours and have to do a bowel prep :/ shoot me now lol. My surgery is scheduled Tuesday at 8:30. I'm getting a lap and dye, hsg, d&c and chromotubation. I am super nervous about the anesthesia and pain afterwards. But am excited to finally get answers after 6 failed clomid cycles and 1 failed iui. Praying we get the go ahead to try in July! I have to take a week off work after surgery so that stinks! If we conceive in July well have an April baby and DH and my birthdays are both in April! Fingers crossed. Good luck to all of you ladies still waiting. Prayers sent!

Good luck! I will be sending extra prayers your way! I agree about April babies! I am a teacher so I think an April baby would be perfect (or May) .

Hopeful14: Enjoy O day and the fun ..good luck to you!

Littlesteph: Another pair of eyes would help I bet . Baby dust your way!

Hi ladies, sorry for being MIA but yesterday was a fantastic Fathers Day. I did tell Kurtis that morning and it was quite the surprise to pull off.
So here's the story! I hope you can see the collage picture well enough... A few days ago I bought the 'Dude, You're Gonna be a Dad' book and the card. Yesterday morning though I snuck out of bed and did a quick Walmart trip. I developed on of the pics of my hpt, bought some scrapbook paper, pink and blue balloons, a pump and some bacon. In the parking lot I made a bookmark with the paper and the picture of the hpt and wrapped the book. In the back alley near my house I started furiously pumping balloons and stuffing the trunk of my car with them. I hid the present with the card on top under all the balloons. Went back home did the dishes and started breakfast. Once oh got and was outside with the digs I asked him to go get milk that i had forgotten in the trunk and popped the trunk with the key fob button. From the front step I did whip out my phone and get it all on video! He opened the trunk and before looking in looks at me filming and says 'what?! like 3 times. Finally he looks and and says 'what did you do this for?' And reads the card, takes a few seconds to let it sink in and just asks excitedly 'really?!?'. Then we hugged it out both in tears on the front step! Aww! Lol
After that had a nice breakfast, visited out friends who are also expecting the news and then toy family BBQ. We didn't tell my family because we're waiting for Kurtis's to be back in town. Hope you liked it! Sorry it's so long!

 

[ClandestineTX]

That's so cute!

 

[ProfWife]

Cute announcement!

@Hopeful - Fertile Focus detects estrogen surges in the system through the saliva. There should be an estrogen surge following implantation and for some women there is simply a second surge of estrogen in the second half of the the TWW.

It's hard to tell if the estrogen surge is due to an implantation or just the body's processes, but I'm definitely having another surge of some kind.

Awwww that's sooooo cute!!

 

[nikkilucky77]

Ourlilflu: That is super CUTE! I love it ...how wonderful was it to tell him on Father's Day?!

 

[OurLilFlu]

It was wonderful! I think he was a bit surprised I kept it a secret for so long, but how can you not, now it'll be a good story for years to come!

 

[chulie]

Ourlilflu.....AMAZING!!!!!! What a cute story!!!

@HOPEFUL....I actually couldn't agree with you more. I feel like I'm wishing time away so I swore this month I was just gonna SLOW down.....enjoy my days and not even look at how many dpo I am. I go on my fertility app just to update when I got my period and when we bd....so that if I need to look back on the data I can....as of this moment I actually have NO idea what CD I am...I do know I'm ovulating this week some time???...I'm just gonna enjoy each day as it comes.......easier said than done sometimes..but....not knowing what CD I am I feel like is a step in a more "relaxed" direction!

 

[nikkilucky77]

Chulie and Hopeful: I think I should do that this month too...just stop with all the temping and OPKs. Just BD when we want (which is plenty ). I like it ladies!!

 

[omgbaby]

Such a cute announcement!! Im always thinking of new announcement ideas!!

 

[KatyW]

Such a cute way to announce it, ourlilflu!

 

[littlesteph]

asked hubby to do one of the tests to see if the same thing happens to him he said it wouldn't do one because there was no point and nothing would come up. that's exactly what I wanted to happen for nothing to come up at least then i'd know that if it was the tests or not, he then turned and said what do you expect for something so cheap.

 

[Lazydaisys]

My dr told me do not temp or opk just bd 2-3 times a week and if its going to happen it will happen. I had already tried this for a year. Now I find it stressful to not determine ovulation, I just the cbfm and then double check with a digital. I only test usually for about 7 days. Once I've had the o I don't temp or track because what's done is done... I do symptom spot though because I can't help myself! And pregnancy testing -I'm an addict. I'm going to try and cut down on that.

Im also wishing my life away. Can't wait until AF so I can start a new cycle, can't wait until ov, can't wait to test, can't wait to try again..... Can't wait for bfp! Can't wait to actually have a baby!

 

[Lazydaisys]

I expect a lot from those cheap test!!!
