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

[River54]

That's awesome athena - congrats!

 

[Hopeful2014]

I hope you're all doing well and that you each have a great weekend!


I wish this was the weather here. I am tired of snow and freezing temperatures!

 

[nikkilucky77]

Amen to that Hopeful!! We have missed enough school here and I am ready for some normalcy.

Atm I am gearing up to O soon. I am just basing it off of cm this month and dtd when we feel like it. If this month doesn't work then I think I might try temping again. I'm just ready to be pregnant! A couple of my friends announced on facebook...I don't remember who said this but it is tempting to delete them or block from my news feed because I was really depressed yesterday. Today is a bit better...I tell myself I don't want to be due that early in the school year lol. Next month would be better.

 

[Hopeful2014]

@nikkilucky77 There have been more snow days this year than in the last few years combined. It's wild. I think it is understandable to block or at least avoid updates like that. It's hard sometimes and it sucks that it has to make you feel worse. I like the idea of being able to choose when you want to see it. I'm sending loads of luck to you!

 

[Lazydaisys]

Hi nikkilucky I had a three week Facebook ban and that really helped me. In my experience there's no point blocking as these people pop up everywhere through other people's feeds. It seems to be a very popular way of sharing the baby news.

Due to the upset fbook has caused me I have vowed never to put any baby announcements or scan pics up. But I understand new baby pics ti ahow family.Unless you have been through the heartbreak of struggling with ttc it's hard to imagine I suppose.

I'm gearing up to af. Bfn and spotting yesterday. Hoping af just stays away. I'm like you beyond ready to be pregnant. I'm started to feel depressed about the situation. Hoping its just pmt and I will bounce back.

 

[newbie2013]

Hi ladies,

I'm definely NTNP this month. Not temping is going ok but feeling a little lack of control. I'm on CD15 so it is likely that I've o'ed already. It would be close to a miracle if I get pregnant this month. My SIL and 3yr old have been staying with us and DH hasn't been keen on dtd while they're here. We've done it one on CD12. Not to worry. I'm right there with you nikki about next month being better because of the school year. In saying that, I hope we both get our BFPs!!

 

[nikkilucky77]

Lazydaisys: I hope af stays away! Otherwise...you, me, and newbie will hopefully get our bfp's next month! Lol.

Newbie: You never know...I sometimes wonder if we are having too much sex around the fertile period...like the sperm isn't getting enough time to mature? So maybe you have the right idea . Also the no temping was weird for me but I feel now with two months of no temping that the time goes faster...maybe it's just me!

 

[newbie2013]

I've thought about that as well. So far, it has been twice this cycle - CD7 and 12. We normally have double or triple that by now! Lol! I kept nagging him last week, but he made it pretty clear that he wasn't into it while his sister was here. Thank god I'm not temping this month, otherwise I would have been stressing about it! I have enjoyed not temping, but now I'm like... well, how do I know if I have o'ed? How can I judge when af might come? Then I remember, in all the cycles I've temped, I have o'd on or before CD15 (today) and my lp varies so much that there's hardly any point temping for o-day!

Fingers crossed for you, lazydaisys! And for us, nikki... and everyone else!

 

[athena87]

I think announcing on fb is fine, my biggest problem though is people think once they announce then every single post after that has to be baby/pregnancy related or they put that weekly counter on there so you get a weekly reminder that they are expecting. Dh and I talked about it and we will announce it once and that will be that. I know how I felt while ttc and I wouldn't want to make anyone else feel that way.

 

[al335003]

Congrats Athena!

 

[River54]

suppression check went well, I can start the stimms tomorrow night and I go in Thursday morning for a check up to see how many follies and what size and how my blood levels are doing etc.

 

[Hopeful2014]

@Lazydaisys I have had Facebook bans too. Social media is so good, but it can be bad as well. It sucked seeing people buying houses, having babies, getting into jobs quickly after graduation, etc. I don't actually use my Facebook personally. I just use it to see others when I choose to, which is not often. You're right about people not understanding when they didn't have to ttc. I've been sad before when seeing a girl I know post on others announcements over and over when I know she's still trying. One girl actually told her something like, just keep trying/it'll happen when it's supposed to when she never even brought herself up. I thought it was so crazy to make generalized comments like that to someone when she was already nice enough to congratulate her. I'm sorry about the spotting and bfn. I hope af stays away.

@newbie2013 I'm sure it's been tough with having family over. Nikkilucky77 could be right. Sometimes people get pregnant and it's the month they didn't have much bding at all. My fingers are crossed for you!

@nikkilucky77 I'm glad that not temping is helping! My fingers are crossed for you too!

@al335003 How are you?

@River54 I'm excited to hear the check went well and that you are moving forward with the process! Let us know how Thursday goes! I'm sending lots of luck!

 

[ProfWife]

Fallback rise done...progesterone started...5dpo.

This would be a good month as his parents will be here next week when I'll be testing. Doctor's appointment tomorrow to go over culture results and discuss plans. Started the low-dose naltrexone last night. No bad side effects yet.

 

[Lazydaisys]

Af got me! Natural cycle next- Iui 2nd attempt planned for the cycle after. Feel like I'm going still be on this thread in five years time just talking to myself at this rate! Xx

 

[al335003]

Hey everyone! Doing well over here... My puppy is keeping me quite busy and entertained, so NTNP is going well! I feel totally relaxed and determined to get stuff done around here and enjoying my break from ttc but also looking forward to feeling relaxed and ready to try again... In a good 6 months or so haha

 

[Hopeful2014]

@ProfWife I hope this is the month and that you're able to share the good news with his parents. Good luck at your appointment!

@Lazydaisys I'm sorry. You'll never be alone.

@al335003 I'm glad you're feeling relaxed and are enjoying yourself! That's very important and you deserve it!

@pathos I hope the move was good.

 

[burgbrandy]

This TWW is driving me crazy! Lol! I'm looking forward to relaxing next cycle and NTNP. Until then though, bring on the POAS addiction! I've taken a few tests over the weekend and all BFN, but its still really early.

I finished week 4 of my workouts! It feels so good to be doing something for myself. I'll post progress pics in my journal tomorrow. I haven't lost any weight because I don't have any to lose...it's all turning into muscle. I gained almost an inch on each of my biceps and another inch on each of my thighs! I'm so proud! I've only lost an inch on my waist, but my abs are much more toned now.

Hope everyone is well!

Lazydaisys: I feel the same way sometimes. It sucks! But it WILL happen for us all eventually!

 

[RaeChay]

burgbrandy - good for you, lady! I used to be a personal trainer, and it STILL excites me when people make progress towards their fitness goals it feels GOOD, doesn't it? hope the TWW goes faster/easier for you.

 

[gabbygabz]

Just dropping in to say hello, my update: 12dpo today and still in it but who knows. I'm a notorious mid-cycle spotter and so far nothing so that's promising but it's still such a crazy waiting game. Hoping to wait to test until Wednesday but we'll see! There's a drugstore downstairs in my office building calling my name!

 

[omgbaby]

melann - STILL NO BABY?

athena87 - Congrats! There are Dexter books? I'm going to have to check those out!

Hopeful2014 - We are still at beginning of season 2, OH had a friend over all last week and I was gone all day all weekend so we didn't get a chance to watch much. Hopefully we can catch up soon. I too am tired of the snow & cold weather!

ProfWife - I loved independent reading!! Lol

al335003 - How's the puppy?

UPDATE - A lot of ewcm. Dtd last night, this morning and I think Friday night... Idk, I spent the weekend with family from early in the morning to about midnight each night this weekend. My grandmother passed away yesterday morning so it's been a hard night and morning so far today. This weekend was hard but it was good to spend her last few days with her. I'm going through stages, one minute I only want to be around my family the next I want to be in a corner alone. One minute I want to punch someone and the next I just ball my eyes out...
