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

[Hopeful2014]

JULY , HERE WE COME!!!

Ladies, Remember
1. That it's not over until AF comes
2. That many ladies get false negatives
3. That implantation happens 6-12 dpo
4. That we are here for you no matter what


July is here and we are ready for some more BFPs! Our BFP list is growing and I can't wait to add more names to the list! I look forward to hearing more about the pregnancies already taking form and the upcoming pregnancies soon to be announced. We started this group in April-all with the same goal-wanting a BFP. Since then we have expanded on that goal. I want us to have a thread where we all know each other and can help each other along. I want to see a BFP blinking by each of our names. I want it to be a place we can look back on in time (while cradling baby!) and remember our struggle and and share our happiness. We will keep adding to the list from May and on until we can see everyone have that beautiful beside her name. Good luck and fingers crossed!

TESTERS:
July 2: lesh07

I am also waiting to add a couple BFPs to the front ladies!!!

Congrats to all new bfp's. xx

I am so getting POAS withdrawal symptoms. AF is due Thursday and OH hates me testing it early. Its only a waste of money, your not pregnant (he is such a helpful and positive person when it comes to TTC....) But sometimes a girl just wants to POAS and get a negative then work out how to make it better next month My temp dropped by .2C this morning but tested earlier as I woke up 30 minutes earlier so not relying on it, but at this moment in time I feel out. I have no symptoms.

My $0.02. If it gives you something, by testing, it's not a waste of money. I test first thing every morning with an IC from 7 DPO onward - never had a positive - but I don't spent my TWW wondering if I might be pregnant. I test, know that BFN before a new cycle start date really doesn't mean anything, and move on with my life.

Hi guys,

I woke up this morning and felt so ill, I was dripping with sweat and so nauseaus which is how I have been feeling the last few days. I am on cd 53 today and I just decided to take a test even though I had all the signs I was about to start my af.

I went back to bed once I had pee'd on the stick and my husband came in the room and said, La, you are pregnant! I am still in complete shock and have been shaking all morning.

It says I am 3+ weeks but due to the fact that I have such irregular periods I am really unsure how far along I am. It still doesn't feel real. I feel like I am dreaming.

I phoned my doctors and asked them what I do now. They have booked me in with a midwife on 30th July which is 4 weeks today. The lady on the phone said the only way they will know how far along I am is when I have an ultrasound so once I see the midwife, she will hopefully book me in for one.

I am still nervous as I know it is still very early but I wanted to tell you all and thank you all for being so supportive towards me.

CONGRATS!!!

@ClandestineTX I can hear the enthusiasm in your post!! I am sooo hopeful for you! Good luck, lady!

@mummy2o I totally understand wanting to poas. Most men probably don't get it. I'm sure the lower temp is part of the reason you are worried and want to temp. (That's how it is for me sometimes at least). I guess men don't have to do the dreaded toilet paper check every time they go to the bathroom so they don't get why it freaks us out! Your temp and lack of symptoms so far is still early.

Today, I am just tired. Did walk/ run intervals late yesterday afternoon (so not remotely concerned with my temp dip today, as exercise does that and it's still above my coverline).

And 100% in agreement about men not having a clue what it's like to need to pee and being scared to wipe oneself, for fear of a new cycle start!

Have i ever said how much i hate wondfo?? Ive been getting the same faint positive since 4 dpo! (pics in my journal.) Im so frustrated. Im feeling out. Ill test tomorrow with a frer but i doubt it will be positive. i have a horrible headache and its making me nauseous. Ugh! I just want a nap!

 

[ClandestineTX]

@burgbrandy: I had a peek at them and those lines are weird. I've been using Wondfo's from 7 DPO to the end of my cycle since Nov of last year and I've never had an evap (or anything that remotely resembles a line in the test area, for that matter). Especially the line you had yesterday - the really pink one - that looked promising. Maybe try another brand of test?

 

[mommyxofxone]

congrats lala!!! that's wonderful news!!!

and i had a negative test at 10dpo with my first and a faint (i mean my dh told me i was nuts) positive on 12dpo, and a nice line 13dpo, date of af being due. So really, it doesn't mean anything until af is due. you could get a negative the day before! remember that ladies.

I Have a frer saved for tomorrow morning. i think i have a high level of hcg in my system at all times that registers as a faint line because they are so sensitive.

 

[momwithbabies]

Woohoo, Lala!!! That is so awesome!

Burgbrandy: Those faint lines do look crazy! The color is what's throwing me off. I hope this is your month, but if not, I wouldn't use those tests anymore.

 

[burgbrandy]

I think im gonna invest in some osom brand tests next cycle. $45 for 25 on amazon, but evaps/false positives are super rare. heres another pic i just took of my smu test. Even my cheapie blue handled test has a faint pink line.

 

[chulie]

Burbrandy......I got everything crossed for you girl...and now that I'm pregnant it's ok...I can cross even my legs for ya!!! hahahahhaha....

 

[KatyW]

@Kalush I'm so glad you're giving yourself a break. I totally understand how hard it is when sleep deprived though. I hope to finally rest today after a busy five days. I updated your date. I don't think it would be too bad to have close birthdays at all! Good luck to you!

@ClandestineTX I can hear the enthusiasm in your post!! I am sooo hopeful for you! Good luck, lady!

@KatyW Thanks. I hope I'm in the tww at least. It has been so frustrating. I have some hope for this month, but probably not as much as usual since it's been so crazy. I do not wish a later ovulation on you at all...unless that means your husband will have time to get home for it. I know that you are a few days away from normal ovulation, but are you starting to notice things that you usually do before ovulation?

@Lala8 Congratulations! That must be amazing news after such a long cycle. I could believe that you might be farther along since you are experiencing sweating and nausea because they usually start a little later into the pregnancy. Let me know when to make it official on here! I'll add your midwife appointment to the front as well. I hope you stick around and let us know how everything goes!

Hopeful, I think I am going to ovulate soon, despite the possible chemical last cycle. But who knows, I may be the only person on here who wants to ovulate late, ha! My husband will be home within the week but will likely miss O. . On to next time, I'll think of this as an exercise in patience. It's something that's worth the wait.

I had an early loss a few years ago and ovulated late - 5 days late probably still have the chart- totally normal thing to happen but frustrating nonetheless. I hope you get a clear indicator that you O'd ..and keep on BDing .

 

[Ruskiegirl]

Congrats Lala

 

[omgbaby]

Chulie: CONGRATS!! I've been away for a few weeks so what exactly is the Chulie method!?? Lol

Lala: congrats!!

Afm, not too much going on. I'm sure ill get crosshairs within the next few days. Boobs have been killing me the past few days, also been more veiny then usual. Sunday & Monday I had this like burning feeling right underneath skin between my boobs more to the left. Also have had pains down there which is most likely o pain. Only 3-4 days of egcm which is less then last cycle & it's been mostly creamy. I hope that doesn't cause any problems. Hmm.... I think that's about it will Be testing on July 15.

 

[ProfWife]

LaLa...congrats!!

AFM...EWCM this morning and a full ferning pattern. We fly out to his parents tomorrow early in the morning. PRAYING we can get in some BD the first few days of the trip as well as tonight.

Clandie summarized it a few pages back but the jist is...I look for my own "O" signs..no outside helpers....back pain, cramps on left or right side...cm...and once I start to see it we just bd like rabbits every day until we're too tired........it was sorta a joke that started but there's just no official type like it already so it got jokingly referred to as the Chulie method a while back...lmao!!!

Oh and...I tested again this morning and thankfully it is super dark...compared to yesterday's faint line....and it came up before the test line did.....so Hopeful we can make it OFFICIAL!!!!!

...this also makes my friends random confrontation that I was pregnant VERY creepy! hahahahaha

 

[ClandestineTX]

@KatyW: My BFF in real life had a chemical May 19th (CD 1 of current cycle) and she's getting her first scan today at 6w. It's 100% possible to get knocked up straightaway after a chemical, FX for you!

@chulie: don't hold out on us, give us pics! We need them to keep hope alive for the rest of us.

AFM: cramping like only the can bring, full on with lower backpain and everything and it's only 5 DPO today. Trying not to get to optimistic, but getting harder every day. Thinking I should be like chulie's friend and be like, "I'm pregnant, the test just hasn't caught up to me yet!"
