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

[Hopeful2014]

@newbie2013 Af is always worse when it's painful too. I hope it doesn't last long.

@momwithbabies What's your favorite flowers to receive? I hope dinner is nice and that af doesn't show! I don't think you're crazy at all. Teaching can be so hard and even the best teachers have days, weeks, months when they struggle with all of the pressure. TTC and NTNP are both stressful as well. It can be hard when you feel pressure and lack of control. Do you get affected by weather or seasonal changes? I have struggled with that in the past during winter or less sunny times. Perhaps that could be part of it and it might change once spring comes. I'd say if you find that you feel too bad that you could mention it to your doctor just so you can find relief. It could all relate to lack of sleep and just being really stressed. I hope things get better soon. You're a great person who deserves happiness.

How is everyone?

 

[pathos]

Oh it's been a bit silent here.
Nikkilucky any news?

 

[ProfWife]

Hanging in.

Our boys are in the state finals for the first time for soccer. So excited for the game tomorrow! I'm on cd.....eh...not sure off hand. Looking forward to a long weekend with the hubs.

How is everyone else?

 

[momwithbabies]

Hopeful: I love any kind of flowers...roses, daisies, lilies, even carnations. I'm a simple gal My favorite color is pink. Thank you for the helpful advice. AF arrived today and is pretty bad. I feel so worn out and my head is killing me! I hope it will go away soon, but that's wishful thinking!

 

[nikkilucky77]

Hey everyone! This wasn't the month . Af showed up on Sunday...along with influenza! I just now feel like a human again. I missed 3 days of school and that is the most I've ever missed in a row! Fortunately af isn't being too bad.

How is everyone else? It is very quiet on here!

Momwithbabies: I don't think you are crazy. I think we all probably go through that every once and awhile. I would say as long as it isn't everyday you are normal . Sorry af got you!

 

[ProfWife]

Nikki - I am so sorry you ended up with both AF AND the flu. It is SO bad this year! I missed two days just with a severe cold that hit me so hard I was basically either in bed sleeping or on the couch between sleep and consciousness. I finally started hitting the point where I felt normal again this week.

I hope you keep feeling better!

 

[ALiKO]

hey ladies i just wanted to pop in and check on you girlies. im sorry AF and the flu has gotten some of you but please stay strong . in this thread alone i've noticed we have an over 50% pregnancy rate and possibly more as some ladies have not been active in awhile.
for those who like statistics and percentages, those are great odds . i think this thread is proof that consistency and determination will bring results. i cant wait to see whose up next for a bfp! .

 

[Lazydaisys]

Thank you for your support aliko although I totally disagree and if I'm honest I'm slightly annoyed. consistency and determination doesn't always bring results, think its down to luck and health. Some people on here who are still not pregnant deserve an a* for trying! Hope it's a lucky thread though. X

 

[ALiKO]

lazydaisys- im sorry you feel that way and i didnt mean to offend you or anyone else. i was just purely speaking off of the statistics of this group and knowing how hard each woman has tried and how determined each woman is and was including myself.

after 3 full years of trying to concieve that proved to be unsuccessful all i was trying to say is i understand, and i wanted to offer encouragement...

 

[Hopeful2014]

@pathos How are you?

@ProfWife Congratulations on making it to state finals! That's so great especially since it seems your school has had a lot of family losses this year. Good luck! Enjoy your weekend!

@momwithbabies I hate af! I hope it leaves soon and that you feel better soon as well. I like all those flowers too.

@nikkilucky77 I'm sorry about af and about being sick! That's the worst.



I definitely feel this is a lucky thread in the sense that all of you lovely ladies are here and have brought me comfort, laughs, and hugs throughout the months. That has definitely helped me on good and bad days. I know that each of us deserves a BFP and a healthy baby! I do a little each time we get one more! (Honest! I've been known to actually get up and do it or at least raise my arms in a cheer). I wish it would just happen or that I had some big piece of wisdom. I wish I could offer definite medical advice or provide the resources that some of you need. I really hope that we see more BFPs soon and that the time that passes hurts a little less because you are all such kind and deserving ladies.

 

[ALiKO]

hopeful- well said! those were my sentiments exactly! i just apologize if i came off as harsh or insensitive and offended anyone.

 

[pathos]

Sorry for the flu and AF nikkilucky, I hope you are feeling better.

Aliko, I myself think in the same line with you regarding the statistics of it, but I cant help agreeing with lazydaisies about luck and health. I guess there is a right time bla bla for each of us, but I just want this right time to be very soon, hihi to be specific this cycle would be very cool hope you are enjoying your pregnancy, and congrats on team pink!

Thanks hopeful, I m doing fine. I got some dedective work: tmi alert. I noticed tiny tiny streaks of brown in cm when wiping as of 6 dpo. @3 dpo I wasnt sure of ovulation due to low temps, so I tried this famous mens. cups and failed haha. I cannot be sure if I was able push the damn thing close to cervix, probably I could not advance that far
Is it colonel mustard, in the library with the candlestick? or ib (but 6dpo very unlikely.)

 

[nikkilucky77]

Pathos: I hope it was ib for you!! Crossing my fingers

Aliko: Thank you! I think about that as well. I truly hope this is a lucky thread .

Atm af is finally almost gone. In a way, it was nice that af was there when I felt like crap anyways...like now that I'm becoming human again...af will be basically done!!! Woohoo!! lol

 

[ProfWife]

Aliko - I get what you're saying. I also understand the sting of Lazydaisies as I've been consistent and driven for 16 straight months...determination not paying off over here. That being said, I don't think it was a true offense. You were being supportive. It just stings sometimes in ways none of us expected it would...I don't think anyone, yourself included, thought we'd be spending months and years waiting for what seems to come so easy to so many.

I think this whole process has just made me more sensitive to others when I say something. There are women who would be upset over me bragging on my husband, for example, because they may perceive a "picture perfect" marriage (we're far from it, but we don't air our laundry for everyone on social media or in public). I think we all go through good and bad days.


Anyway...AFM...WE WON!!! State Champions! One of the parent losses we had this year worked with our soccer team. The boys wore patches on their uniforms in his memory today. He must have been beaming over how they played, too. They were even helping members of the other team off the ground...even if that player had just fouled one of our guys! I've never been more proud!

 

[Hopeful2014]

@pathos That made me smile. I REALLY hope this is it for you! I hope it's ib! I don't think 6 dpo would be too early. Your temps look nice too. I'm sending luck and all the hope I can to you!

@nikkilucky77 I'm glad you're feeling better and that af is almost gone. I've hated when I had to blow my nose a lot and wash hands a lot when af was there because I usually just want to sit around and not move a lot in the beginning. But it will be nice to have it all behind you and not expect one following the other.

@ProfWife Congratulations! That was probably a well-deserved win.

 

[Lazydaisys]

I am sensitive about the subject of ttc, it's hard not to be...it's taking over my life. I feel like I've tried everything and it hasn't worked I will just try harder with a consistent approach so i can get pregnant too xxxx

Happy valentines everybody xx

 

[pathos]

My muscles above belly button feel weird since ovulation. It is as if I had done hundreds of sit ups, and of course I am a lazy sofa person and my sense of exersice is to shake with shakira for 3 mins or so. I read that this might be a hint of strong ovulation. I cannot see the connection but those who used clomid, did you ever felt muscle soreness above your bellybutton? Or do I have hernia

 

[Hopeful2014]

@Lazydaisys

@pathos I wouldn't think it's a hernia. Does it hurt badly or just feel uncomfortable/strange? I have heard people say they felt muscle soreness around the belly button before. I hope it eases up soon if it's hurting. I hope it's a good sign though. I can totally be a lazy sofa person too.




I hope everyone is having a wonderful day regardless of plans. We've had a mostly relaxing day after cleaning the house together earlier. Happy Valentine's Day!
