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

[ClandestineTX]

Oh, ma'am - I HATE the end of the TWW. I hope it works out for you.

 

[kiki13]

Congrats, kiki13! I know seeing the heartbeat has to be a huge relief for you!

Thanks

 

[want2bemommy]

Ruskiegirl- you sure are on a roller coaster ride- I'm sorry

 

[kiki13]

this morning for me and my temp dropped this morning

How confusing! I hope you're still not out!

I used to teach in the inner city with high schoolers who had been to juvy etc.
I totally know what you mean about getting a high from standing your ground and accomplishing what you set out to get them to do. Kids threatened to punch me etc and I'd just stand there and say "Go for it. because in ten minutes you'll be in the back of a cop car and I'll still be standing here, doing my job." I never once actually got hit, but man, they pulled back a few times and thought about it. The kicker for me was that there were 20 others watching, so if I got walked over once, it was all out war and I would be the casualty. I hope to never have to be as shrewd and bitchy with my own children, but there, well it was pure survival.

Damn......yeah that sounds rough!!!! You are clearly one tough cookie!!!!

Has anyone ever watched that show Family S.O.S with Jo frost? There was this one episode where the son (who had drug problems) wanted to do something and finally the mom was like "no, I'm sorry, I love you and I hate being the bad guy but I'm saying no because I love you" and this 15 year old boy actually said to his mom " Mom, I've waited 10 years to hear you say that...I know in the moment I want to be mad at you but I want to know I can't push you around"...hearing it from that kid was so well said!!! So, sounds like you know exactly what kids needs Melann

 

[OurLilFlu]

I saw that episode! And it's so true... Kids need structure and consistency! I think especially at that age with dependency issues, you can't expect a 16 year old to overcome addiction and make good choices all the time themselves, they need to be set up for success and sometimes that means saying no

 

[OurLilFlu]

And ruskie! Sorry about your temp but I hope it's not aF it's still above cover line and this whole cycle I've had such a good feeling for you!!

 

[ClandestineTX]

@chulie, I loved Jo from the Supernanny days (even with no kids) - have DVRd the new show, but only had time to watch one episode so far.

Melann,

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has pulled that card with high schoolers! I had one fairly belligerent one in class one year. That particular class seemed to actually be fairly supportive of me. So, one of them took up the, "Don't you disrespect, Miss. You'll have to answer to us." mentality. It was quite amusing!

 

[nikkilucky77]

Ruskiegirl: You are still above your coverline!! It could still be happening..maybe your hcg levels are trying to build up.

 

[Ruskiegirl]

I am 100% positive the is coming I have a plan for this next cycle tho that I hope brings a great

 

[ClandestineTX]

You can't leave us hanging like that, Ruskiegirl. You have to tell us your grand master plan. And I hope you're wrong about she-who-should-not-be-named.

Hey ladies! I havent posted in a couple days, but not much going on. Cd 7 today and my last clomid dose. Continuing the cohosh until cd 10. Just waiting on o sometime after wednesday of next week! Had a ton of creamy cm today, which i normally get before it gets watery, but never this much. Hope that means tons of ewcm during o! Lol! I got my new opks and hpts in the mail today so i tested today. Might as well start opk testing now since i have 75 opks and another 50 on the way. Lol! And i think i have 60 hpts with 20 on the way! All stocked up for a couple cycles!

 

[Ruskiegirl]

My plan is Pre-seed ,Soft Cups , Thought I would give b vitamins a shot too to lengthen my LP . I am not going to do progesterone this next cycle cause it is giving me to many false symptoms . Also lots of water around ovulation , I hardly drink any it gives me terrible heartburn so I avoid it like the plague

 

[Tangerine]

I'm not uncrossing my fingers and toes yet, Ruskiegirl.

 

[kirstyjane13]

Don't know what's wrong with me. Ive been awake for 2 hours and unable to sleep. Think it's because I know I will be testing soon. X

 

[Mme2kdee]

Cd10 and spotting. I'm praying it isn't another af. I finally thought normal cycles were coming back.

 

[Ruskiegirl]

mabey its some left over spotting ?

 

[bamm]

I know I'm late - but may I join?? We are "kind" of trying for #2 - I *think* I'm on 5 - 6DPO, I felt like I o'd on sat the 8th, but DF and I bd'd on the 9th and 13th just in case it was later. Didn't give us much of a shot having only decided to ttc this month around O day. Although I'm only guessing it's 5dpo based on OPKS, sunday was close to positive, and they've gotten much lighter since. My boobs are KILLING me, which is so rare, and I'm feeling really sick - but it's probably all in my head since I wouldn't have gone through implantation yet! HATE the tww!

Fingers crossed for everyone waiting for their BFPs!
