Mid-August Testers

[NotNic]

Sorry to hear that CH. To be honest I don't know what to suggest. It took me 6 months off bcp to become pregnant. I really think that it took that long for my body to start doing things for itself, and I just had a bit of luck. It wasn't anything special - just the right time I guess and I made sure I took all my pre-natal vitamins to give myself the best shot I could. I'm not going anywhere until all us ladies have babies in our arms. I'm in it for the long haul!

Awww, i am so glad to hear that Nic! I would feel real lousy if everyone just left once they got their BFP and i was sitting here alone, blogg'n to myself. This is our 10th month of ttc. At this point a lot of doubt starts to sink in. Good news though is that i have my doc appointment today for my pap and my hormone results (which i have already read online - but i'll let my doctor do his spill since im not a doctor). So i feel like i am making some progress.

CH- i hope next month is your month!!!!!

Bex - Hang in there. Have you started a fresh new cycle yet or are you still waiting?

Again.. congrats Bea, Nic, and Snowflake. I pray that you may have healthy pregnancies and can't wait to hear all of your bump news along the way.

Hi ladies.

Sorry about AF CH. But I love the PMA you have!! The only thing we did different was that we didn't BD for 2 days before the day before OV if that makes sense. We were BDing everyday the other months. Less was more I guess. I was trying to do the SMEP. We didn't use any pre-seed. I did use EPO that month from CD1 to OV - but didn't notice any difference in my EWCM.

Hands - I'm not going anywhere either. I love you girls! Have a good appt. I hope me makes a good plan of action for you.

AFM, I have my 1st appt today at 3:45. I am quite nervous. Today I don't feel pregnant - if that makes sense. I asked if they were going to blood work when I made the appt and she said it would be up to the Dr. So I don't really know what I'm in for. AF was due yesterday and never showed so I was so happy to get past that day. My temp dropped a ton ton ton today. I'm not to sure when I am supposed to stop BBTing. So today may be my last day.

Ah CH, I am sorry to hear about the witch I'm looking forward to hear about you giving it a damn good go this month! haha

Before I got by BFP, we EVERY TWO OR THREE DAYS - even after i though I O'd - dont try and catch the window. It was hard work I tell you, you have to even when you dont want to!

In terms of positions, we find doggy work best keeps the sperm in for longer!

Hands - last woman standing this month so loads of babydust to you!!!!!

 

[InHisHands]

awww thanks. I don't feel any different though. Tender nipples and thats about it ... some days i ahve some cramping others none -- a typcial period for me.

Question about the doggy. I told hubby i wanted to try it this past month and we did... but i was unsure what to do after he did his thing... do you stay in that position or roll over to your back and prop you butt and feet up? -- I felt like his little guys were coming out immediately after, so i just naturally rolled over... but wasn't for sure if that is what you are suppose to do or not.

 

[Srbjbex]

I always rolled over (not sure I could stay like that for any length of time!) and got hubby to fetch the designated pillow to go under my bum! Dont know if this is TMI, but we always did it where i staed on the bed and hubby stood next to the bed, if that makes sense?

 

[MrsBea23]

Ch - Sorry AF got you hun . We bd'd the day before my O and the day before that but DH was away from the day I o'd so we didn't bd again until about 4 days after so I am guessing it was from the day before.

Hands - I would do doggy with a pillow already under where I was and then just lie straight down after. My uterus is tilted to the left and the month I got my BFP I would lie on my left side after bd. Next time you have a smear ask where your uterus is.

Bex - Hopefully tomorrow will be easier. I hope you are not to flat out with Q3, i know I am and its not fun!

Snowflake - Good luck at your app, don't worry I have never felt pregnant lol.

AFM Had my scan today and everything looked good baby was moving around and nt was only 1mm so that is good just have to wait a couple of weeks for the blood tests and if they are all clear I should be pretty good to start telling people.

everyone else.

 

[NotNic]

That's great news Bea. Woo hoo for you entering 2nd tri! Xxx

 

[Srbjbex]

That's good news Bea!! So excited for you being able to tell everyone! I'm not too bad at work at the moment,I work in practice rather than industry (tax) so just gearing up for the December year ends!

Snow - how did your appointment go?

 

[CHDickey]

Bex-loads of BD this cycle! okay so for doggy Kay on your belly or flip? We have been doing missionary and doggy, tmi, but I guess we will try some more!!

Yeah Bea for 2nd tri!!! So exciting! Did you do anything creative to tell people?

Also thanks to all you soon to be mommas for hanging around!!! We need you all to keep us going!!! I always get so excited to hear who gets a BFP each month!!

Although not too pumped to hear people I know!!! Now to 3 ladies at school and 7 in all!! It's definitely in the water, just not the glass I'm drinking outta of! Lol!!!

Okay, so im back from the doctor and a little more frustrated than ever.

My hormone results are normal.. so he goes to do a pap. He looks up at me and says, i will not refer you to an obgyn because you look pregnant. And of course i am thinking, there is no way he can see that!! ROTFL He goes, your cervix is blue. That means pregnancy. I said what else can it mean? He goes pregnancy. Look it up online.

So i did. And there are a lot of women in forums who has had their doctors tell them the same thing and they weren't pregnant. So i look into it some more. An increase of Estrogen can cause it ... like what happens RIGHT BEFORE your period. Plus i read that the cervix doesnt normally turn blue unless you are 6-8 weeks pregnant... i would be like 3 weeks.

So now not only did i get fed information that could have potentially raised my hopes (but was false), but i have to wait till AF comes to proove im not pregnant so he can refer me to the obgyn which just delays things for another 2 weeks. ARGGGG.

It's messed up when we trick ourselves into thinking we're pregnant. I don't need a doctor to do that too. *sighs* Don't get me wrong.. i really hope he is right... but from the information i read... it's too early for it to be turning blue and most likely it is just AF.

 

[CHDickey]

Wow!! That's interesting!!! Why didn't he do a blood test? That would have eased your mind?!?! I sure hope he isn't getting your hopes up! Did you explain your cycles to him?

I say 2nd opinion stat!

 

[InHisHands]

no second opinion because again im assigned a doctor and have already been through the other two options. But the reason why a blood test wouldnt do anything is because i was only 7 days past ovulation yesterday. It's too soon for even implantation.. i really don't think im pregnant and he just set me up for a big fall.

 

[snowflakes120]

Oh Hands - That is so sucky about that Dr. I really think you deserve the best obgyn in the world after all these stupid Dr.'s. Hugs girl and keep your head up.

CH - I hear ya. I feel that everyone around me is pregnant too.

Mrs Bea - awesome about the appt!! Hooray!! 2nd tri!

AFM, appt went well and I am confirmed knocked up. Just did a pee sample and talked with my obgyn - she gave me a huge booklet of stuff. I go back in 3 weeks on Nov. 1 for tons of blood work and a scan. I can't wait. Being at the doctors made it all feel so real - I started to get my 1st feelings of nervousness. I have been so excited but I finally got nervous yesterday.

 

[InHisHands]

Im so happy for you snow!!!

I'm feeling AF cramps more and more.. i'm wondering if she isnt going to come on her normal time and not 5 days late due to a late ovulation (Come today or tomorrow instead of next monday or tuesday). At this point i just wish she would hurry up and get here so i can make another appointment to tell the doc he was wrong and then set up an obgyn appointment. GRRRR.

 

[CHDickey]

That's so awesome snow!!!

Ok makes since to me now hands, keep your head up. He could be right. I know you think not, but keep the hope! We are always one click from something negative on the Internet!

 

[InHisHands]

I really am excited for you snow, Nic, and bea. And hope the rest of us can join you VERY SOON!!!

 

[NotNic]

Have you actually taken a test Hands? I know it's early but anything is possible, right? xx

 

[InHisHands]

As time is running out, im terrified i won't be able to get pregnant before my hubby leaves for nearly a year Even with infertility testing, that they won't be able to find the problem and fix it in time. Due to other travels, we only have 3 more months to try before we will have to wait and im totally out of the running. I never thought i wouldn't be pregnant by now. I'm trying to stay positive, but its really hard when you see the hour glass getting thinner and thinner. I just keep telling myself, In his timing... in his hands... either way it will be okay. What do you guys say to yourselves to keep you calm and sane through this whole process?

 

[InHisHands]

No, i havent taken a test. With 9 dpo... it would be a waste of money. If my period doesnt come by the 21st, i'll test then... but i fully expect it to. I'm really cramping like she's gonna show up any day now.
