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

[newbie2013]

Omgbaby, I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother, but it was great that you were there with her in her last few days. Thinking about you!

 

[melann13]

@athena, I agree with the FB thing. We announced at about 17 weeks on FB, because at that point any pics posted of me may lead to questions, so I would head it off. I maybe only posted statuses related to pregnancy once or twice after that.

@omgbaby, Felicity Jo arrived 1/23, 36 hours after beginning induction. We are doing well. I posted a couple pictures on the ladies from may preg page, but chose not to do so here since I know how hard it can be to see.

 

[omgbaby]

newbie2013 - thank you so much!

melann13 - OMG!! She's so cute!! Congrats!

Soooooo randomly I was on this thread when it first got started May of 2013! And we stopped trying in July because of the stress. Just this month, around new years we decided to try again next cycle. So I haven't joined any new threads....but I see some of us are on this thread still, but I got my BFP earlier today. And I'm still in shock! Shaky and I feel like fainting for hours....I only took the test to prove myself I wasn't pregnant because this kinda a weird thing. We weren't trying and I was looking forward to next cycle to start trying again.


But I'm more terrified than happy. Like I don't wanna be excited yet. I haven't even told husband yet. I don't know if I should even tell him yet?

@burgbrandy Congrats on finishing week four of your workouts! I think it's so interesting that you can get such good results so quickly. I'm sorry about the bfn, but it's early. Good luck!

@gabbygabz Yay for no spotting! Your temps look nice too. Fingers crossed for a BFP! I know it's tempting when you want to test.

@omgbaby I'm so sorry to hear about your grandmother. It's great that you were able to spend time with her. I know that's hard though. It was hard to see my grandmother near the end. Let yourself feel however you need. We're here for you too.

@pennymarie I remember you. I'm so happy to see that you're back and doing better. AND that you got your BFP! That's such great news. I understand being cautious about it. Will you continue to test for progression? If so, perhaps the tests and darker lines will offer some comfort and help it seem more real. Shall I update you officially on the front?

 

[pennymarie]

The test is darker than the control! Which is why this is so weird for me being so soon along? I just want to run to the ER, and demand them to tell me my progesterone levels and everything levels

 

[pennymarie]

And please with the update!! I remember how badly I wanted to see a BFP by my name! And almost a year later! Everyone will have it by their name!

Ps: does anyone know how to post pictures from iPhone? When I try to add an attachment, it won't go through my phone for pictures

 

[Hopeful2014]

@pennymarie I updated you and the BFP is flashing by your name! You should call and see if they will test your levels if just for reassurance. Perhaps you are farther along than you think or perhaps it's twins? I think it's a great sign no matter what it is! I'm not sure about how to post from iPhone. I think you have to go to the "go advanced" post instead of the "post quick reply".

 

[burgbrandy]

Congrats pennymarie!

 

[pennymarie]

I'm assuming if I explain my history, and I'd be going to the same place, so they could just look at my records. I'm just afraid they'll say no. And I'm not very assertive. Neither is husband, he's very go with the flow.
And it couldn't have been earlier than I thought because we used condoms..

And thank you thank you thank you for updating and being there for all of us hopeful! That's quite a commitment and it will be a bumpy ride

 

[pennymarie]

Congrats pennymarie!

Brandy I know you've been through a lot this past year, so I really hope this cycle is for you too! Apparently ntnp worked for us. And you said you're looking forward to it. So maybe that's all your body needs is you focusing on something else? Like your workout is really working! But to everyone who's been there for me thank you do much. And don't stop updating! You guys give me hope

 

[pathos]

Thanks hopeful. The moving went smooth, but settling will take up months I guess.
Pennymarie congrats on your bfp.

63 bfps wow! And welcome to hihi the thread baby, congrats

 

[melann13]

Congrats pennymarie! I remember you as well!

 

[gabbygabz]

Congrats pennymarie!

AFM, pretty annoying update: Super faint BFP on a WondFo this morning and minor increase in temp but pink spotting which usually means AF is on her way. So maybe it's a chemical or an evap, who knows. Focusing on the positive that my chronic mid-cycle spotting didn't start until 13 dpo, that's a good thing at least. Now just waiting for more information and/or AF, in which case we're on to IUI #2!

 

[OurLilFlu]

Your chart looks really good, could be implantation spotting or just an irritated cervix, don't count anything out yet!!

 

[Lazydaisys]

Af came and think the pmt has passed and I'm ready to try again. Trying a natural cycle this month and another iui next month. Great to see another bfp! Xx

 

[nikkilucky77]

Penny: Congrats!!!

Gabby: Don't give up! It could be it...like lilflu said...your chart looks good!

I love that this thread is getting so many bfps...I feel the more we get...the luckier the rest of us will be?

I think I have passed O...I am cd15 and I usually O by the 14th...actually had ewcm on cd12 so we dtd. But we have been busy this month so we only dtd twice during my fertile window. Oh well...on to next month

 

[ProfWife]

Penny - Congratulations!

AFM - Weirdest thing...I was in class and my blood sugar bottomed out. Got lightheaded and dizzy. Shook it off until after the next class and got some lunch. Was perfectly fine from 1:30 until about 4. All of a sudden, same thing...bottomed out on the ride home. No real warning besides being warm. Dizzy, nauseated, got home in time before I started to feel incredibly bad, chills, nausea - the works.

Either fell asleep or passed out on the couch. Had some juice and a few chips...slowly recovering.

Anyone EVER have anything like this happen?

 

[nikkilucky77]

Prowife: I can't honestly say I have had that happen! Sounds interesting

 

[ProfWife]

I started that new medication my doctor recommended which ramps up endorphins. I guess it's possible that my body was so thrown out of whack by that new addition of endorphins that my blood sugar is reacting like I've been exercising.

When I was going to the gym regularly, we found out that my blood sugar often dramatically drops after exercise. I might stop by the store and get some glucose strips to test myself regularly again. I used to do that before and after work outs (sometimes during).
