Mid-August Testers

[CHDickey]

Nic- doing fine, just keeping checking to see your results!! The only thing I am doing right now is trying to just enjoy my husband still taking vitamins of course, but just temping and OV tests, other than that trying to freaking relax!!! This has started to become more of a job, and right now I cannot think straight. I want a baby, just tried of over analyzing!! I know not very positive!

How about everyone else?

 

[InHisHands]

I'm feeling better. This month, i think im doing 3 things different. 1. going to the doctor to get things checked out. 2. Setting my date of when AF is going to arrive a week late that way if she comes a day or two late, i don't get my hopes up. 3. Trying a different baby dancing position, just incase my uterus is tilted. Laying on my back hasnt done any good so maybe being on my knees will help.

Nic - im going to be waiting all weekend with you.. to see what your results are!! I hope its a BFP, but if not, i'm here with you

Bea & Bex - any symptoms?

CH - after the first few months it really does take a toll. Just try to focus on other events. I think the whole "baby" thing will be in the back of your mind, but just try to focus on other things. I know my brother is getting married at the end of Oct.. so im focusing on that the best i can.

Snowflake - im glad you are feeling better. Your baby dancing time is coming up real quick, so definately try to have a fun and relaxing weekend

jc- haven't heard from you recently, how you doing?

 

[Srbjbex]

Great to hear some positivity creeping back in on this thread ladies

CH it's definitely a good plan to try and just enjoy time with you husband, and not think about baby making too much, although I know how difficult it is! Just keep thinking about all the positive things you have

Inhishands - good plan on the baby dancing! I have to say, we found me on my knees much better than me on my back.... For a start, i never really had any little swimmers leak out that way ( tmi - sorry!) we did loads of it that way during last month and it seemed to work!!

Snowflakes - Glad to hear you are more positive now. Can't believe it's getting round to ov time again soon!!

Nic. - every time I come on here i think, nic must have her bfp or AF by now!!keep your chin up girl, hole you get some answers when you get your results!

As for me, really not many symptoms so far, to be honest I don't really feel pregnant! I know I'll probably regret saying that and end up really sick, but so far so good! We haven't told anyone else yet either, so will probably feel a lot more real when we start telling people! What about you Bea?? And how was your holiday!?!?

Wishing you all HUGE amounts of baby dust

Hi everyone,

I am back from hols had an amazing time wish I could stay on holiday forever the thought of going back to work makes me want to cry lol.

Sorry to all the AF's that have arrived since I was last on booo her!

hands - glad you are feeling better and glad the docs are doing the testing, hopefully they will all be ok and you will get your BFp soon.

nic - I hope your results on monday are good but if not have you thought about trying acupuncture? I am sure that is what helped me get a BFP with all my issues. I have recently found out I have uterine fybroids so I have PCOS, uterine fybroids and most likely endometriosis and I think the acupuncture really got my body in order to get pregnant.

Bex - How are you feeling? Any symptoms yet? I still have none and I am still convinced I am going to have a missed miscarriage because of the lack of symptoms even though I have had 2 scans and they have been fine I am mental sigh. I ordered a doppler yesterday so I can try listen to the heart beat at home and wont be so stressed about it all he he.

to eveyone else, must be getting close to O time fx'd for everyone this month. I really hope it is a good month for BFP's.

 

[NotNic]

Thanks Mrs Bea! That doppler is going to be so useful and a tad bit addictive. You're not mental(!), just cautious. You've waited so long to be pregnant and I don't think you'll really believe it until you start feeling Baby Bea moving. Which is a super exciting thought. Do you think you'l ask to find out the flavour?

TMI alert! I've finally had a little bit of spotting. Nothing substantial and dark brown, rather than brighter, but it could finally be the witch making an apperance. Still looking forward to what the doctor says tomorrow. I won't really relax until the witch is here properly and I have time to digest my drs news, BUT if all's well and this is AF then I could (just!) make it in for a June baby!! Keeping my fingers super, duperly crossed for another 16 hours!

Bex, Hands and CH - Thank you so much for sticking with me. You'll all be the first (after OH if he answers his phone!) to hear how I get on tomorrow. Really couldn't have stayed sane and calm without you all being here. OH tries, but he doesn't really get things like you do. xx

Snowflakes and Jchic - Hope you're both quiet, because you've been busy bd'ing. Thanks for your support too! xx

and to all of you. x

 

[NotNic]

Hands - I forgot to ask, when does your OH's SA come back? Do you have your own appointment yet? x

 

[InHisHands]

my OH didnt get a SA done. The doctors said it would be a waste of money since he already has a kid... thus it HAS TO BE ALL MY FAULT. hahaha... i told you i'm being picked on.

I couldnt give blood yesterday, so i will monday and i have a papsmear scheduled in about two weeks for them to check some more stuff out.

It stinks, knowing that either it just hasnt happened yet, or that "You" personally are the problem... but hey ... it will be okay in the end.

 

[snowflakes120]

Omg girls! Just did my 1st OPK for the cycle and it was positive! Sooo was not expecting that! I quickly pounced the hubby as we haven't BD'd since Thursday. Really hoping that I don't OV today and pray that it will be tomorrow so we can get another day of BDing in...

I'll catch up with y'all soon. I'm on my phone - hubby is using computer for schoolwork! I just had to tell someone so of course I come on here to tell my best girls!!

 

[NotNic]

Woo hoo Snowflakes! Go get your man!!

Hands - I'm really worried about your drs. Don't they realise that the quality of a man's sperm is ever changeable? Your OH's swimmers might not be all that, and he could have got lucky last time, or something might have changed in the last decade. Obviously I'm hoping that's not the case, but you could be put through a number of tests when they might be nothing wrong with you. Good luck for tomorrow. Will be thinking of you and hoping that all these tests are unneccesary because that BFP is just waiting in the wings for you!

 

[NotNic]

Mrs Bea - I've just noticed you need to change your signature!

 

[InHisHands]

They say the day of a positive OPK and the day after are the best two baby making days... you go girl! .. and if we don't hear from you till Tuesday.. we'll know why

Thanks ladies! I didn't do a test yesterday so I am hoping that it wasn't positive yesterday too and i missed it bc i didnt do one and that those were my 2 good days. I hope today and tomorrow are. I hope this makes sense!

 

[InHisHands]

Thanks Nic. And i know what you mean and do wish they would check hubby out as well. I know he has had his checked out about 10 years ago and at that time they were very strong and numerous. Things can change, but i hope that is still the case.

Being military they have certain prodedures and apparently they want to check the females out first since 90% of fertility issues are due to females. (according to their numbers). They only do SA's if all of the female tests come back negative. Go figure.

I'm just glad i didnt get dr. Spaz... i was able to talk my way into getting my case assigned to a foreign doctor (one with an actual degree).. so im very excited and lucky to have him.

And Yes... i hope that within the next month or two i will be pregnant and that all of these tests were a waste. That's my prayer at least.

 

[NotNic]

So pleased that you are happy with your doctor. In the UK we take properly trained doctors and the NHS totally for granted.

News in for my tests - everything is in the normal ranges. My hormone levels suggest I'm in the second half of my cycle (which makes sense with the spotting). My period should be here this week, so my doctors advice? I'm to keep waiting!

My dr has booked me in for a scan in the next few weeks to rule out anything serious, but he said that it's more of a precaution. The good news is that if the scans clear then he thinks the only problem I might have, is that it is more challenging catching my fertile period so opks are now my future!

 

[CHDickey]

That's great news Nic!!! I hope evrything hurries along so you can get started on that June baby, that is if the witch arrives!

 

[InHisHands]

That's awesome Nic!!! So glad that you can start a fresh new month soon.

I'm using OPKs this month ... but if its like any other month, i'll ovulate on the 14th or 15th day. It's just that with last month's period being 30 days instead of 27... im not quite sure if i'll ovulate like normal. Doing this for myself more than anything else.

 

[snowflakes120]

Morning ladies.

Nic- So happy to hear that everything turned out normal. That is awesome news. Just a squiffy cycle!!

Hands - Sorry that they keep pointing the finger at you. Didn't they learn any manners as a child and know that that is rude!! hehe! Hooray for OPK's!

Bea - Welcome back!! Happy to hear your holiday went fabulous!

AFM, temp went up today. Boo. So I am 1dpo. Sad truthfully that we only got in 1 real good shot for this cycle. But you know what it only takes 1 so I am trying to remain hopeful. Also, BD'd this AM before work just in case. I figured out this morning while taking a shower that I was off by a day and it totally makes sense now. That day that I had brown discharge I should have put it as CD1 but I made it an extra DPO for last cycle. Opps. My bad. I fixed it in my chart. I used to OV on CD13 but it started to get pushed back to CD15 and CD16 - I think from all the stress I was giving myself. I guess I relaxed enough this cycle to bring it back forward.

We went out for Asian on Saturday for our date night. Got THE BEST fortune cookie ever!! It said: Your dearest dream is coming true

 

[CHDickey]

CD 13 a massive temp drop and positive opk!!! Yeah

 

[Srbjbex]

Yay!!! Get to bed CH and get down to it!!!!

Nic - So pleased to hear all was good with your tests and I really hope AF comes for you soon (not often we say that!!)

Looks like everyone else just needs to

If I can offer one bit of advice, it would be to have sex every other day, all the time, even after you think you have O'd, because as we have all learnt from this cycle, we are all a bit squiffy and you never know... so just keep going right through

 

[NotNic]

Good advice Bex (though I'd have been shattered this month! ) Still waiting for AF. Spotting has stopped again for the time being. Fingers crossed AF is here soon, or if it's not, a test might finally give me a BFP! My dr joked that he expects to see me back soon saying 'I'm pregnant and I have no idea how far along I am'! That seems an unrealistic dream for this month, BUT it would be a very pleasant surprise if we did manage to catch an egg completly by accident!
