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

[ProfWife]

momwithbabies...from one teacher to another, if they don't know what they need to by the time testing comes around, they won't likely catch on in the days leading up to it. So, if they've had you all the rest of the year, they're just as likely to do well if you're there or taking time to bond with a little one during the testing season

 

[momwithbabies]

Profwife: That's very true. If they don't know it by then, really by March, they're up a creek. Even though there's nothing I can do to help the kids during the test, I think it would still bother me! But really, if I have an April baby, or a baby during ANY month, I would feel soooo blessed. My sister is due October 30th, and I hope I'm pregnant at least before she has the baby. Otherwise, I'll probably be emotional and crazy when I hold her baby. I don't want to be "that" lady

 

[ProfWife]

I hear ya.

I'm dreading the start of the school year since most of the new mothers will be rejoining us and their mantra tends to be "you're next". I heard that all last school year (nope...wasn't pregnant by the end of the school year). I don't really think I can handle it if they start. I may pull anyone who starts in on me aside and let them in that I might not be next and that it would be a huge help to me if they stop what they think are playful comments. (Thankfully, I'm at a private school. So, I can even tell them it's something I want them to pray over.)

I hear you both! I would like to be pregnant by August or September for sure. Wish you both luck .

 

[mommyxofxone]

I would like to be pregnant now.

 

[nikkilucky77]

LOL me too .

 

[ProfWife]

Triple for me!

I don't want to leave you ladies out of the line eye fun today... I can't remember if I mentioned this here or not... dropped a test into a cup of pee last night and couldn't shake the feeling like I was seeing "something" and this afternoon, did a random test and same shadowesque line. So I posted it for votes... what do you all think?

[newbie2013]

momwithbabies: I'm so sorry . I know it is disappointing...on to the next cycle! Good luck hun...I am sure I am there too. I am 8 or 9 dpo but I really feel AF is coming. I o'd early this month so it makes me think that AF is going to be early too. Good luck and think about how great having a baby in the spring (April) will be .

An April baby would be fine for me! Even though that's probably the worst time to have a baby in my career. I'm a teacher, and April is state assessment time for the kids. But you know, I would never turn down another chance to hold a precious baby in my arms! Maybe you're not out yet, but I hate the anticipation of AF. It's torture!!! Best if luck, and keeping my fingers crossed that the witch stays away.

I'm a teacher too!! You are right about April being crazy busy but I won't say no to a baby either! My hubby's birthday is in April so he really wants that now lol. Like I can just make that happen! And thanks for the luck...hope it works!!

This must be a teacher thread! I'm also a teacher. Even my head teacher would be happy for me if I was to have an April/May baby despite the busy time of year. She's been on at me for three years that I should get pregnant. Of course, she'd MUCH prefer a due date of July so that I don't miss much of school!! Hope our due dates are sooner rather than later

@omgbaby Fingers crossed your temp goes back up. I know it's hard when you finally have to go back after a vacation. I haven't had Doritos in such a long time, yum! Good luck!

@gabbygabz Date updated. The drop in temps around ovulation and the big jump after looks like it was strong. I understand how tempting it can be to test. Good luck on the 14th...or earlier!

@chulie I'm pretty good...most of my hair is still on my head! I'm a bit more rational and calm about this cycle than I was. I am assuming I'm 10 dpo (Tuesday) based on a cd 21 ovulation and now on cd 31. I'm usually 27-29 days, but I know that will change with a later ovulation if that indeed did happen. But I'm still just waiting it out. If it's correct and I make it to a high temp on 13 dpo, I'll test. I should know something by the weekend. How are you?

@momwithbabies I'm sorry. I know it sucks to wait it out and it hurts so much to see a negative as well because then you feel out. You're not out yet.

@mummy2o Sticky baby dust to you! Sorry about the car. We've dealt with a little of that lately.

@kirstyjane13 I understand needing a break away from everything. I hope it helped. I think I am 10 dpo and just waiting it out. I've had a bit of an odd cycle this time. I'm kind of at the point of wanting to find out and move on to next cycle if needed. Other than that things have been pretty good for me. We are going to be working on our landscaping a bit more tomorrow so I'm excited about that! Fingers crossed for a BFP on Saturday!

@ClandestineTX First, welcome back! Second, I've been wondering about you! Third, I do think I see something!! Those temps look nice too. When will you test again?

@ProfWife I'm glad you're back home and can relax. If you do not want to go into detail with the family, perhaps it can be something as simple as "the way you talked to us really hurt our feelings, what if we were trying and hadn't been able to conceive yet, wouldn't that make you think/speak differently?" That way you don't have to be too open about your situation, but you get it out there that there could be something going on and it might make them think about what they say next time. Or even have your husband say it since he may feel more comfortable with it.


AFM I want to be pregnant now too! Honestly I'm to the point where if someone/something could tell me, keep trying it will happen in July/August/October/whichever specific month, I would feel better while waiting!

Ladies, I'm also a teacher, but one who is not currently teaching. I'm considering starting graduate school soon. We definitely have a smart, wonderful group here full of intelligent ladies from all walks in life. I'm so grateful that all of you are sharing it with me!

 

[KatyW]

Clandestine - those temperatures do look high to me, that's great! I think I see something on the test too.

Ladies in the TWW - FX that you see BFP soon!

ProfWife - I'm sorry people are so incredibly insensitive. I just don't get why people feel the need to comment on someone else's private reproductive life. It's hurtful to those struggling with infertility or who genuinely are choosing to remain child-free (because they are not ready to be parents/want to be aunts and uncles only, or because there are financial/other reasons).

AFM - the husband is finally home, yay! Hoping to be in for August testing .

 

[KatyW]

Hopeful - FX for you this weekend.

 

[lesh07]

Well af gone. Time to start the marathon again. Should be due for af 2nd august. Fingers X'd for me and everyone else. xx

 

[lilly_bum]

hey ladies im bk what a shity month i had what i thought was ib about 3 weeks ago but the witch got me ive got a question my last af was may 20th but this af i started 6th july and it only lasted 3 days when mine normaly lasts a weeks i also thought it would have been heavier coz i missed a month do you think thats normal? i will be testing again the end of july x

 

[Hopeful2014]

@KatyW Thanks! I'm glad your husband is home. I'll be here to cheer you (and probably me) on for August! I'm going to make a serious game plan this time if it doesn't work...well nothing too medical yet, just more overall planning and I might use opks again. I'm not sure if I want to use them again next month or give it one more month without them. I only really used them for two months before.

@lesh07 Great news! It's always so much better to be past the fear of af showing and the pain she brings. On to the marathon and two dark, pink lines!! I added you to test on the 2nd. Good luck!

@lilly_bum I'm so sorry to hear that you've been having such a hard time. Going by the 35 day cycle you have on your ticker, I imagine your cycle should have started on or around June 23. July 6th is 13 days late for that. Do you think you might have ovulated late in your May-June cycle? Perhaps a week or so late so that those extra 13 might have been lp days? I can't remember, do you temp? I'm just speculating and wish I could help. It does seem strange that your cycle varied in length and that af varied as well. I'd say monitor this next cycle and see what happens. Sometimes the body surprises us, but I would maybe talk to a doctor if you have trouble with it again this month. Fingers crossed for a BFP instead of all that!

 

[Hopeful2014]

JULY , 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 beside her name. Good luck and fingers crossed!

TESTERS:
July 9: Kalush

 

[omgbaby]

Im so tired. On my mini vacation I slept so much now back at work I hate waking up. Lmao it's just so warm in bed!!! Temp went down again, still above coverline though. Praying it goes up tomorrow!!! I don't think it'll end in a BFP though because most have high temps until bfp. I think even though mine are still above the coverline they just aren't as high as I would hope they'd be to be a pregnancy chart.

 

[ClandestineTX]

Stark white BFN this morning. No idea what was going on with those tests the last two days, but guessing it was just a tease. ETA for is Thursday, so just waiting...

 

[gabbygabz]

So many teachers on this thread! I'm an attorney myself but my husband is a high school guidance counselor so that counts by marriage right??

 

[melann13]

I used to teach high school Latin and Biology, but am back in school for PhD in behavioral neuroscience, so I will be teaching again in a few years, but at a university instead!
I also taught programs at the humane society, a nature center and the zoo. I do enjoy the older students though. Respect to those of you who have a class full of little ones!
