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

[RaeChay]

Nikki- LOVE the mortal instruments series!!

 

[Hopeful2014]

@Lazydaisys What's the longest cycle you've had? I'm still holding out hope for you!

@nikkilucky77 I finished reading them last year! They are so good. I think you would probably like them. They are like a supernatural/romance/action/adventure book but really good. The last one comes out in May! I can't wait. It will be a good time for you to read since the last one is coming out. I hate having to wait sometimes. They made a movie of the first book. I did like it, but I suggest reading first as they seem to ruin some things that you wouldn't even find out until later into the series and it has a ton of scenes that never happened in the book. I'm wishing for a miracle!! I honestly feel like that's what most babies are anyway.

@RaeChay Me too! How are you? Are you feeling better and getting settled into the new position?


I decided to start reading The Casual Vacancy by J.K. Rowling. I've been meaning to read it for a while. It's going to be adapted into a BBC show in 2014. It's really good so far. It's very easy to read. It has short chapters and the characters are quite interesting. It's more for adults than Harry Potter was, but I really like both so far.

 

[nikkilucky77]

Hopeful and Raechay: I will have to read them then . I watched the movie but I will ignore it. I feel a lot of times tv/movies change a lot such as the true blood series...way different than the books. If you like supernatural/vampires/romance, I really enjoy JR Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood books.

 

[RaeChay]

Hopeful- doing well. I don't start til march 10, so I actually have the week off as I put in my notice at my old job 2 weeks ago and wanted to avoid the radiation during ovulation (I'm cd13 right now). It seemed the best way to do it. Plus I can relax before starting up what will likely be a stressful next 3-6 months. Casual Vacancy is on my reading list- I'm excited to hear it's turning out well! And congrats on nearly being in third tri!!

Nikki- I've heard good things about the black dagger series too! I will have to add those to my list as well

 

[kksy9b]

If you're going to read the mortal instruments books then dont forget about the prequel series- the infernal devices...there is some cross over information so you'll want to be sure to read the series in the right order (according to release date). And if you like that genre I would recommend the Hollows series by Kim Harrison...there are some great characters and lots of books in it!

I just finished a casual vacancy a couple weeks ago...for me the beginning was pretty slow. There are a lot of characters and it took me the first 100 pages or so to feel comfortable with who was who...after that though I thought it was pretty good. Has anyone picked up the cuckoo's calling that she wrote under a pseudonym? That one is coming up quick on my list!

 

[nikkilucky77]

I love having more books on my list! Thanks ladies

Raechay: They are addictive! I borrowed them from a friend and ended up grabbing the whole series from her after the first one .

Hopeful: That is crazy you are almost in your third tri! Very nice!

Kksy9b: You are so close . I love it!

 

[Lazydaisys]

Hopeful my longest ever was 30 it's usually 28 with spotting before. I'm at 35 today and bfn. Had cramping for two weeks but now nothing. Rang my fertility hospital today and they are going to look through my file and ring me up. I'm sure if I was getting bfp I would have got it by now

I love reading books too, especially on holiday on a sun lounger with a cocktail mmmm xx

 

[ProfWife]

Lazy - some women don't get positives on hpts. My sister didn't get one until she was past 1 month.

 

[Hopeful2014]

@nikkilucky77 I've been wanting to read Black Dagger Brotherhood! I might try them next! Let me know what you think once you do start Mortal Instruments.

@RaeChay Thanks! I'm still so happy that you got the other position and will be moving on to something new. I hope the next 3-6 months are not too stressful, but I bet it can be very tough when getting used to a new job like that. I'm sending loads of luck for the new job and for this cycle!

@kksy9b I found out about The Infernal Devices after I read The Mortal Instruments, but I do plan to read them as well. They seem very interesting. I don't think I've heard of the Hollows. I will look them up soon! I haven't read The Cuckoo's Calling yet, but I do plan to read it as well. I've heard there is going to be a sequel this year. What do you think of her writing outside of Harry Potter?

@Lazydaisys Sitting in the sun, reading, and relaxing sounds amazing. I wish we were both doing that right now. I would love the warm weather. We did get more snow over the weekend. I hope they get back to you soon and you can figure out what's going on. I really hope af does stay away and that you get your BFP.



I'm loving all the book talk ladies! Perhaps we can all pick a book in the next few months or whatever time frame works the best for us all and read it together! That would be fun!

 

[Lazydaisys]

Thanks hopeful. My new passport arrived today so as soon as my body sorts itself I'm planning warmer climates!

The clinic didn't ring me today even though they promised. I suppose there's no rush. I'm day 36 bfn. Half of thinks maybe I am pregnant but half of me doesn't dare to hope.

I been reading about all these people on the Internet that just missed a period or missed three and then they came back.

Thanks prowife that gives me hope. I've had cramping for two weeks and now a few days of a heavy feeling and a bit of backache and fuller breasts, maybe I didn't ovulate when I thought I did. I will just have to wait. My mum tells me she didn't get a positive until day 42! That was 34 years ago and I'm not sure I believe her. Lol xx

 

[pathos]

I have just finished the first book of 50 shades of trilogy. I m hoping to boost my libido for the approaching ovulation hehehe.

 

[nikkilucky77]

Pathos: That series was good for my libido too

Hopeful: I think you will like them! I also like the idea of reading a book together...it would be fun to talk about it and keep our minds off ttc.

Lazydaisy: Maybe you will be like your mom then! That would be great if you were pregnant

 

[Hopeful2014]

@Lazydaisys I'm sorry the clinic didn't call. I hate when people say they are going to do something and then they don't do it! We're all holding out hope that you will get a positive and soon!!

@pathos I still want to read 50 Shades. I really do think reading things like that help! It does with me. Good luck!!

@nikkilucky77 It seems that a lot of us have the same reading taste so I think it would be great!

 

[omgbaby]

Hi guys. I haven't been around to catch up. If anyone could tell me if and who has gotten bfps in the past month.

I'm here to ask how long ib lasts?
I had a period start Feb 10. My ex & I had sex on Feb 23. Well when I started on Feb 10 I started taking bcp again. Now according to my pills I should've started this past Sunday. Well on Saturday the 1. I started spotting, usually I spot then the next day full flow. Well I've just been brown spotting since Saturday. Not a lot at all. Sometimes I wipe and there's nothing. Monday after work I wiped and there was more then just a spot on toilet paper it was a good enough amount to make me think af was here then nothing. Well that same night before bed it had the same thing except it was red instead of brown. Needless to say I still haven't gotten full flow yet.

I got on ovuline because I had info in there. It said I shouldn't start til next Wednesday which if correct would put me in the tww right now...

My question is do you think it could be ib or did me restarting pills mess my period up?

 

[omgbaby]

O and the 50 shades trilogy was amazing

 

[ProfWife]

omgbaby - it's possible you may have just miscalculated. Also, with the medication, it often takes a few months to even out. With you taking it for the last cycle, it's likely that the suppression of ovulation kept your lining from thickening, which would cause you to have a light to non-existent period.

 

[Hopeful2014]

@omgbaby I've been wondering about you. I'm not sure if it is ib or the pills messing up your cycle. It's possible that it could be either. February 23rd would have been CD 14 for you. Is that around normal ovulation time? I had ib with my c/p loss. It was brown/light pink and only lasted for a few wipes. However, I've heard of people who have had it for a few days too. Birth control can definitely change a cycle though. Will you test in the next few days just in case?

 

[omgbaby]

Yeah, my mom knows about how worried I've been so she keeps telling me to buy a test. I'm just so scared because I don't want it to be positive now that I'm trying move on with life and I think it'll give my ex false hope of us being together again... I'll probably test tomorrow morning or Saturday morning.

How are you doing Hopeful?
How are you ProfWife?
I didn't think I'd miss you ladies but I do!! Lol

 

[nikkilucky77]

Omgbaby: I was wondering about you? I agree with Hopeful it could be either situation. I hope it ends up the way you want it!!! If you would be in the tww...is it too soon for a test?

Hopeful: I agree about the similar tastes. We need to just pick one out

Atm last night I had the worse dream ever...my hubby was tell me to leave him alone and then told me "you are the dumbest female I have ever met." Ugh it was so vivid and I was thankful that he was there in the morning to hug me when I told him. My nipples aren't as sore but now my bbs feel fuller...usually before af they go back to normal. Guess we will see in a couple days...af is due on Sat.

 

[ProfWife]

I'm hanging in. BFN today. So, I'm a little upset.
