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

anointedq: the progesterone draw u had on cd 22...it should have been taken at 7 dpo. If u didnt o until after cd 22 when it was drawn, the results mean nothing. When they test progesterone to confirm o, progesterone peaks at 7 dpo. So dont listen when ur dr says u didnt o. The results are invalid unless done at the right time.

As for the rest...:shrug: lol!
 
nikkilucky, pregnancy is going well. Several yucky symptoms started to ease in the last week, although brushing my teeth still inspires gagging, which is making me anxious about my dentist appt next week :haha:. My belly popped this week, which I feel like is too early for my first pregnancy (I was preg before, but only until 7.5 weeks, and baby was only 6.5 weeks big). I have a fetal dopplar which is comforting, and baby has definitely moved up a couple inches in the last few weeks, so I know I'm not just imagining the bulge. None of my pre-preg pants/shorts fit.
Anyways, everything is great here. Very excited, and still stalking the lovely ladies on this thread as you are all so wonderful!
 
That's great to hear that everything is going well. I think your dentist appt sounds like it may be interesting lol ;).
 
Happy 13 weeks Melann!!

Thanks everyone for saying good things about my chart!! Gives me hope!!
 
Arg....I need a virtual hug. Just spent the afternoon surrounded by tons of children and relatives of hubs who all kept saying how we need to start filling out our branch of the family tree...and tons of people during photos referring to our half of the shot as the infertile side.

They don't know about our struggles...so I can't blame them for saying insensitive things. I am upset that some can't seem to stay out of others' business though...
 
Prof wife, so sorry to hear that. That's awful. I can't fathom what prompts people to say this things they do. It never ends. I heard similar comments from people I barely knew, simply because we've been married 6 years (never mind the fact that I'm getting a PhD in neuro...)
Now that I am prego I'm shocked at how many people have asked me (and my mom for that matter) how long me and DH have been trying. How personal is that? I find it very inappropriate unless it's a really close friend.
:hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs:
Have a nice evening to yourself and go to bed lamenting the fact that some people have no manners.
 
I wish I could have one to myself, but we're at the in laws. We fly out tomorrow at 5:30 am. Yucky!
 
@KatyW This cycle has been so confusing. I can't say that anything I might have felt was definite ovulation pains because I felt them a couple times. Of course that could mean it tried but was delayed. My cm is not of much help either since there were so many more days of it. However, it did become a lot more dry around cd 21-22 so it had to of been before then at least. I honestly think I may be around 8 dpo today (meaning cd 21 ovulation) because if it was cd 13 I would be 16 dpo with a negative and none of my normal signs that af is coming. My lp is usually only 13-14 as well so that would be odd. I wish it could be this month, but this cycle has been so crazy I don't really expect it. I just really, really hope next month is back to normal. :shrug: I see that you got your temp rise. Fingers crossed we will both be celebrating sticky BFPs soon! :flower:

@nikkilucky77 I have heard that heartburn can be a sign. It could be since it is something different for you. Good luck!! :flower:

@burgbrandy Thanks! I am not sure this will be the one, but my temps have been going up the last two days. Assuming I am now 8 dpo based on cd 21 ovulation, I may test on 13 dpo if my temps are still really high. Fingers crossed for both of us and may the waiting be less annoying! :flower:

@omgbaby Good luck with that rise!! :flower:

@MamaPeaches Your temps are looking very nice. I hope you see very dark, obvious lines tomorrow! Good luck! :flower:

@Lazydaisys Why must we wait for everything? :nope: I promise, I would be better at waiting if I could know a definite time frame ahead of time. :dohh:

@kirstyjane13 Welcome back! I've been wondering about how you were. Nice, new picture. I hope those are your signs. Shall I keep you for testing on July 13th? Good luck! :flower:

@melann13 I'm glad to hear that everything is going so well! Yum, peaches this week!! :flower:

@ProfWife I'm so sorry. :hugs: :hugs: People say the most idiotic things sometimes. They may not mean it, but it definitely still hurts. It will happen for you and for all of us. I can bet you, the children we have will sure have more manners than most people seem to have. :hugs: :hugs:

@anointedq I'm sorry that it's so confusing for you right now. I understand that having conflicting signs is so frustrating. FF may suggest waiting to 19 dpo if you haven't been using the system or temping for very long. It usually wants everyone to wait to 18 dpo or something like that when you first join because it doesn't know what your cycles are like yet. The overall guideline is for women to wait until the day of their missed period or even up until a week later. However, a lot of women start testing earlier than that because you can sometimes get an early BFP. I think I can see a shift near the end of your cycle so if the test with the doctor was on cd 22, he or she would have missed it since it came later. :thumbup: You can start testing earlier than the later suggested times, but do not get too discouraged if it's negative because it can definitely be a false negative if you're testing too early. Implantation generally happens between 6-12 dpo and then it takes two or more days for it to show up on a test. Good luck! :flower:
 
Prowife: WOW...that is very rude. People can be so insensitive and they don't understand how much time and thought we put into the tww. Not only that but the emotions we got through each month.

Hopeful14: I am hoping it is a good thing since it isn't the norm...but it could be just my body still getting off the pill and changing. Our bodies are so weird!! It kinda sounds like the CD21 isn't right according to your cm but jeez the 13 doesn't sound right either. Maybe do the average?? :)
 
Okay...I'm going crazy and need someone to bring me back to earth. I'm 13 DPO (I think...all I did was observe CM and note O type pains). I had sex only ONCE during what I think was my fertile window. I had AF feelings yesterday and earlier today. All signs AF is on her way, but she's still not here!!! My LP is usually 12-13 days when I use OPK's. I am sooooo tempted to take a HPT because my boobs are hurting so bad right now. They usually are uncomfortable before and during my period, but this seems worse. I've also had headache after headache. I'm eating everything in sight. I'm emotional. But of course, all of these symtoms go with AF, too. What's a girl to do??? Someone tell me not to waste my money for a BFN. Tell me to just wait it out and assume AF is on her way. Plus I'm on antibiotics, and maybe that's messing with me??? Idk, any thoughts?
 
momwithbabies: I would test so I would feel better knowing otherwise I would go crazy!! Good luck hun! It only takes once during our fertile windows :)

I think it would be hard not to test since it would be all I would think about! I understand not being sure about wanting to test though. You're probably right about your dpo. How about this? What is the longest cycle you've had recently? Consider that number as the last possible day to expect af to show. So if your longest has been 28 days, test on day 28 or anything after. OR-test as soon as you can to have a better idea and then wait a couple days to test again if it's too early! :shrug: Good luck!
 
momwithbabies: Just test. If you think something is off then, your probably right. I can relate to feeling scared as I felt scared before testing, but happy that I did. I think knowing the answer either way can be relief at times.
 
I agree, just test :) I think it's better to know either way than to be stuck in limbo.
 
JULY :bfp:, 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 :bfp: beside her name. Good luck and fingers crossed! :happydance:

TESTERS:
July 8: mummy2o

Temp went down a little again today. I've come to the conclusion if it doesn't go back up tomorrow im out. I feel like af is coming & im exhausted. First day back to work after a mini 4 day vacation
 
Hi all, just checking in to say happy after 4th of July weekend! Huge congrats to those new BFPs and sending postive vibes and :dust: to those of you waiting (or not waiting) to test!

AFM I'm 6 DPO today on my 2nd Clomid round, this time 100 mg days 3-7. So far so good. I felt like ovulation was nice and strong and looks like today's temp shows a secondary estrogen surge, which I take as a sign that things are going as they should. Hopeful, can you put my testing date down as 7/14, if I make it that long, which I totally won't!! :haha:
 
momwithbabies...TEST GIRL! hahahahahahaa......keep us posted!

hope everyone had a nice weekend!!!

Hopeful how are you feeling???

Profwife I'm so sorry you had to deal with that.... it's like the generation before us is completely immune to the fact that some people take longer than others!!! When we were trying my MIL used to ALWAYS make comments about why I'm not pregnant again yet...and how if I wait too long I'll be too old and that I don't want my kids far apart in age.....at that time we WERE trying...took everything in me not to hand her a book on how it doesn't happen immediately and tell her to read up on facts........and when I say "hand" I mean " smack her in the face with" and when I say "read up on facts"...I mean shut the hell up.........LMAO....
 
Chulie: You are hilarious girl! Hope everything is going good for you :) :)

momwithbabies: Did you test yet? ;) Keep up posted!!!
 
Nikkilucky: Not yet. Have more AF feelings this morning. The only thing stopping me from testing is that I have no tests here. I'm about to go to Wal Mart, though. My boobs still hurt really bad. Earlier, I was picking up stuffed animals, and I clenched one to my chest. My boobs hurt so bad!!! So I might buy one (if I'm brave enough). After 3 years of TTC #3, I avoid BFN's at all costs. Last cycle I was stupid and got an evap. For me, it seems like every time I use a test, my period starts right after. It's like when you wash you car, and of course it will rain.

Thank you, ladies, for the input. I'll let you know if I test.
