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

[Lazydaisys]

I think the monitor shows egg when you are actually ovulating. My opk sticks detect the surge a day or sometimes two before so do the clear blue smileys. My last iui was day after surge was detected on simple opk test which would have probably been egg day on the monitor if I had been using it.
My ovaries had produced large folicles and I honestly could tell when I had ovulated as my ovaries felt so heavy from the clomid.

Hope it's a good sign for you nikkilucky

I'm on day 10 gearing up to ovulate hopefully in a few days.

This will be my third valentines ttc! My plans are obvious! dtd lol. I have bought some lovely new underwear and we are having a takeaway and a night in. Anybody else have plans?? X

@nikkilucky77 I had months in the past when I was very hopeful/not completely sure and it wasn't and I also had moments during that cycle when I thought it must be it. I was still just very hopeful and it could have gone the other way. I tried to look for signs. I had a giant temp drop (nearly all the way under my coverline on 8 dpo, which made a little hopeful but kind of freaked me out too) and then it rebounded higher than any of the others and stayed higher from 9 dpo and on. Other than that I was very hungry. I was about as sure as I could be based on those continuing signs at 13 dpo, but I was still somewhat genuinely surprised when the line turned pink. I'm really hopeful for you and want this to be the one!

@Lazydaisys Enjoy your night in! New undies are always nice. I hope you ovulate soon and that you catch the little egg.

Hrr I woke up late, my temp is not accurate to confirm o. Usually I have ovary pains during ovulation. I dont have any for the last two days. Anyway morning bd was partly success that day, phew but i think i should buy one of those mens cups, potential babies were wasted. I usually ovulate on the second egg sign but somehow I still continue to doubt the monitor.

Lazydaisys gl with catching the egg hehe.

Hopeful, part of me hates the commercialization of v day, all that hearts, cupids, roses, teddy bears etc., but last year hubby brought me tupperware dustcloth!! Scandal! Disaster! I would be happy even with a stupid cupid printed candle. This year im taking my revenge with ballroom dancing.

I prefer gift checques/cards from bookstores or ikea for any special day. Oh I m such a predictible easy person still someone hasnt figured it out or likes to imagine me as his cleaning lady.

 

[newbie2013]

Hi ladies,

I've been quiet for a while but still stalking. Hope you're all doing well.

I'm fine. CD28 of my non-temping cycle but I think I'll temp tomorrow to see if my temp ha dropped. I haven't had any pre-af spotting yet, which I'm happy about.

Nikky, I've had a lot of CM this cycle as well, including a day or two where I thought af had come ridiculously early I felt so wet.

Won't be testing until I'm sure af isn't coming because I have no idea when I o'ed. Not until at least tuesday/wednesday.

Don't do much for valentines day. But I hope you all enjoy it!

 

[Lazydaisys]

I like flowers I agree its commercial but if it makes dh be romantic I'm all for it I've bought dh a nice watch as I was going to buy him one when we got married but for some reason it never happened.

On my bfp cycle in september I felt constantly wet. So I think it's a good sign, hope it is for you girlies.

My dh sent me a cheeky text today out of the blue and I was on my way to my mums house- so I accidentally replied to my mum!!!!!! I'm still cringing out!!! I tried to tell her my predictive text changed my text, but I'm mortified... and she told my dad about the text!

I'm 34 it's ok.... I keep telling myself...... No still cringing!!! Xx

Lazydaisys, that's so awkward, and hilarious! (course that's cuz it wasn't me). I recently sent an email to the editor of a scientific journal to which I had submitted an article for publishing that I meant to send to my boss. I made a comment in it about a typo in the editor's original email that I thought was hilarious. Pretty awkward that I sent it to him directly... he was cool about it though and they ended up accepting my paper, so I guess it's all good.
Good luck looking your parents in the face! I still find those things awkward even though I've been married 6.5 years, and my parents know that DH and I have only ever been with each other....

 

[Hopeful2014]

@pathos I'm sorry you missed temping at the right time. That can be so annoying and especially when it's around O day. Do you think that you did O then? I love gift cards as well! I'm pretty easy too. I just prefer to go out and pick something I want/need and have that be it. Of course I'd like a surprise occasionally, but we're usually together when shopping and I usually make all of the online purchases so there's not much time for him to surprise me. Have you scheduled the ballroom dancing yet? What does he think?

@newbie2013 I've been wondering about you. Yay for no spotting! I really hope af stays away and you get your BFP!

@Lazydaisys Oh no! I hope she soon forgets about the text. I totally understand how regardless of age/relationship status that it's still so awkward for parents to know or hear certain things. A watch sounds like a nice gift. What flowers do you like?

@melann13 I'm sure that was quite horrifying too. I've done/said things in the past that still make me cringe when I think about them even if the people never mention or seem to care.

 

[nikkilucky77]

Newbie: Hope this is it! Crossing my fingers for you and me both

Lazydaisys: Oh awkward! I think that would be terrifying for me as well lol. I hope she forgets about it soon.

Hopeful: I think a nice dinner but I would never turn down jewelry! Lol.

Atm I keep getting a poking feeling down there. It will come and go and it doesn't feel like cramps. I don't remember this from other months but I am trying not to think too much about it. I WILL not test until after af is due on Monday. Sigh...even then I think I just don't want to be disappointed so I probably won't even want to.

 

[Hopeful2014]

@nikkilucky77 I understand the feeling of being completely glued to the test and also being terrified of even looking at it. I REALLY hope this is it for you!!

 

[Lazydaisys]

I was telling my dh I was getting my hair cut and he suggested I get a trim elsewhere! The cheeky git. I sent my mum a text saying ' I love my hairy bush!' Told her I meant brush and dh wanted to throw my brush away. Lol xx

Hey! That's some quick thinking. I'm glad it wasn't more detailed.

 

[Lazydaisys]

I know. Not sure what she thought! I've told dh I'm hardly going to go for a radical hair cut down there with the amount of internal scans and iuis going on!! Men hey! X

 

[nikkilucky77]

Lazydaisys: That is impressive on the quick thinking!!! Makes sense to me

Getting pink cm when I checked this morning...that is typical af is coming sign . Af is due on Monday so it is looking like that is for sure it. I'm guessing the poking feeling was just indigestion or something lol. On to next month! I told dh I want to lose a little weight (but he said no don't lose your ass hehe) so who knows maybe that will be the ticket. I will continue with no temping, no opks next month. Just cm checking.

 

[Lazydaisys]

It's not over yet nikkilucky or I hope it isn't. Xx

 

[Hopeful2014]

@Lazydaisys I always thought I would want a neat trim down there for when I have to be looked at, but I think having some hair feels better and like I can hide it a bit.

@nikkilucky77 I hope af does not show. Perhaps you could try some exercise that doesn't focus on the tush.


Ladies, when will it quit snowing?!?! This is the craziest weather we have had in four or so years.

 

[newbie2013]

Well, I've had spotting today, more than my sual pre-AF spotting but not a flow and brown. Let's what tomorrow brings. Didn't really expect anything this cycle since our timing sucked. We'll be on NTNP this cycle again. I enjoyed not temping but need better timing!

Hope you get a break from the snow. It took a cold turn here too (but everything is relative - cold for us is 8 degrees celcius overnight!)

 

[newbie2013]

Nikky! Any news?

 

[Hopeful2014]

@newbie2013 I'm sorry about the spotting. I hope af stays away.

 

[newbie2013]

Ouch! AF is being a right b*tch! Pain, bloated, super heavy flow, awful headache. Hope she goes quickly.

Looking forward to jumping back in the sack with DH soon.

 

[momwithbabies]

Newbie: That sucks! I loathe AF!!! I just don't feel like myself with her!

Hopeful: My favorite Valentine's Day gift is flowers. I never get tired of flowers!!! It's so romantic and thoughtful. I don't think my husband is getting me anything this year because we are tightening our budget quite a bit to pay off debt. He did say we would go to dinner and we could have sex, lol!!! I told him that AF is due Wednesday and by Friday, she will probably still be pretty yucky. I have horrible periods and bleed quite a bit for at least 3 days. So, I told him, "No sex for you!" Ha ha, but at least he's started wanting me again. I can't complain. It feels good to have a somewhat normal sex life for a couple that's been married almost 10 years and 2 kids.


Okay, ladies. So here I am, 12 DPO. I am on a break from TTC, but I am wondering again!!! I had a break down last Monday and Tuesday (the stress and pressure from work made me pretty depressed for a couple of days). It was so bad, I called in those days and slept a lot. Why do I want another baby when I can't handle what I've got now? Any ideas? I need help, lol! By the way, I'm the type of person that holds things in as long as I can, and then I explode. I realize this is not a good thing, but it's how I've always been. I don't think I'm "clinically depressed," but I do worry all of the time (mostly about work and my students), I don't sleep well at night, and I binge drink when I'm not in TTC limbo. My husband thinks I should see a professional, but I don't get why I'm up and down all of the time. I wasn't like this until this year with the stress from work. He's afraid I will become an alcoholic, which does run in my family (but I think it runs somewhere in most families). I'm okay today. No way am I going to call and see somebody when I'm feeling okay. I don't have time. Thanks for reading and I hope nobody here thinks I'm crazy.
