Mid-August Testers

[InHisHands]

Bex i hope you get some symptoms soon too... i know it was nerve wrecking for me and i can't imagine how it will be for you this time through. Not sure if it will make you feel any better or not, but with my lil one i didnt hardly have morning sickness and things were okay. So if this one doesn't have it either, it doesn't mean something will be wrong.

Here's to a tired, sickly, crampy, achy HEALTHY 3 months to you! ... followed by a much calmer healthy 6 months!

Bex - I am back just to say that I am so very happy for you!! I really hope me and CH can join you!! I hope you get MS too - I too didn't get it with my last pregnancy!!

Now for my temp's. I had alot of cramping and twinges last night for a few hours and I even went to bed with them. Because my temp went back up today I am thinking and praying and hoping that what I was feeling was implantation. I am CD9 today. I am very excited to see what tomorrow's temp brings - it should be going down if AF is coming - she is due on Wednesday. After I took my temp this AM I couldn't go back to sleep - I was soooo excited that it went up!! This is not normal for me but what the heck has been normal since my MC. I am trying not to get too excited but I am soooooooooooooo excited already and I haven't even gotten a BFP. But in the back of my mind I am still afraid I am setting myself up for disappointment and AF will still arrive but later bc of the B6 I am taking. I hate waiting!!

 

[InHisHands]

Awww snow, i don't want to set you up for a fall either.... but i do have high pma for you. Either way, we will be here cheering you on and supporting you.

 

[NotNic]

That sounds so promising Snow! I had IB spotting on CD10 and I used to have a slghtly shorter LP (Average 12 days), so dates-wise this would be the perfect time for you to have an implantation dip! I love how positive and excited you are and squiffy cycles seem to work out well for us. I can't wait for tomorrow's temps or Wednesday now either!

CH - Hoping you are feeling positive too. I think Snow's positivity is infectious! Lots of dust and good thoughts coming your way too right now. xxx

Hey girls :wave:


Bex OMG I just chart stalked you before even getting to your news on the thread!!!! CONGRATS my friend!!!!! Its a huge mix of emotions, I'm here if you wanna chat about any of it! Will you do early hgc tests? You honeymooned in Montreal? Beautiful city to be a tourist especially in the summertime!


Hands awesome news about your bump getting bigger…enjoy every moment sweetie! I can’t wait for Wednesday to come already and pray to give you guys a good update!

Snow thank you for the PMA sweetie, I need all I can get! I’m a wreck these days! Happy 5th anniversary love! Amazing how times flies right! I'm praying hard for you girl! Let this be the month for you all!!!!!

Nic great news that your meeting went well! I hope I’ll give ya good news while you wait for your scan on Wednesday! xoxo

Bea thanks hunni, no good news on the car front…just had to take this one as a very hard lesson learned! OMG ur latest pic is soo…NEAT…you look awesome hunni!

CH - Hope ur well...T&P ur way girlie!

Back to Monday and swamped at work...atleast its passing the days quickly! Thank you for all the support

 

[Srbjbex]

Lisette - Thanks honey. I don't know about testing and such, see what the doc says when I am there but I doubt they will do weekly testing. We had a big road trip on honeymoon and as part of that had 2 nights in Montreal. (plus Boston, Quebec, Ottawa, Toronto, niagara, pittsburgh, Washington and new york!! All in 2.5 weeks!) shame I didn't know you then!

Snow - I am going to be super stalking your chart...i can't wait to see what happens. Stay high!!!! Definitely think that twinges could be IB. Dust to you!

Thanks all for the lovely kind thoughts and prayers!!

 

[CHDickey]

Hey ladies!!!

First of all thanks for giving me time!!! I truly appreciate it!!

Wtg BEX!!! I am sooooo pumped for you!!!

Hubby went to doctor today. Got the order for full sperm analysis just have to take sample and drop off! Crossing fingers all is good!!

Afm just waiting on AF. On cd 25 and 13 dpo. Have gotten two bfn one on Friday morning with fmu and one on Saturday mid day. Spotted one time yesterday after going to bathroom, sorry tmi!. Other than that waiting for the witch!

 

[InHisHands]

Hey welcome back CH! We are glad to have you back.

Whoo hooo on your hubby checking out his little guys. I found it much more comforting to have SOMETHING... anything done to try to figure out what the matter was. Fingers are crossed! Keep up updated!

I'm sorry to hear that it sounds like the witch is coming again. It's the pits, but im still hoping she'll stay away.

 

[NotNic]

CH I tested on CD10 with fmu on an early response test and I didn't get a +ve the month I was pregnant so anything is possible. Just take each day as it comes. Brilliant news about your hubby having an appointment. I agree with Hands - doing something or putting a proper plan in action really does help. Having seen my doctor helped me to stress less each month as I knew someone understood and was willing to get us tested. Good luck to you and Snow. We are rooting for you both!

Lots if love everyone xxxx

 

[CHDickey]

I know ladies. I think once we can rule out DH and his swimmers I will be much, much, much better. I am a worry wart and that is my biggest problem!

Normal 26 day cycle and only a hint of spotting on Sunday with 3 bfn... Now on cycle day 27 and 14 dpo. Not sure but think this cycle maybe longer... If no AF by Friday and still bfn don't know what to do!?!?

 

[InHisHands]

Stress can delay on the onset of the witch. I know one time i had AF show up 5 days late and i typically am a regular person... it was just the stress of TTC.

Also, sometimes BFP don't appear until 16dpo, 19dpo, and etc. It just depends on when implantation took place. If your spotting was IB at about 12dpo... then a positive test wouldn't show until like 17dpo at the earliest.

I hated limbo land.... i hope you get your answer soon CH!!!

 

[Srbjbex]

CH - so great to see you back! I hope hubby testing can put your mind at rest, and I think you both thoroughly deserve a holiday!! I can recommend the UK if you fancy it I live in Shakespeares county so I will take you both to Stratford-upon-Avon for a day

 

[InHisHands]

Snow - sorry to see a temp dip, but so far its just a small one.

Bex - Love your ticker How did you tell hubby? What did he say?

Bea - have you felt braxon hicks contractions yet? what do they feel like? Yesterday i had a strong cramp up high on my waist line above my belly button.. felt like all my muscles were pulled inward. But it just was once for about 15-20 seconds. Not sure if that is just stretching since its so early.

 

[snowflakes120]

Welcome back CH. Glad to see you back in good spirits. So happy that you are being proactive. My best friend has been NTNP for over 2 years and just found out her hubby has low testosterone. I have my annual exam with my Obgyn in March so I figure I will bring up testing me if nothing happens by then. We will have of tried for a total of about 10 months at that point. Seems fair to me to have concerns.

Hands - Thanks - yea, it's just a little drop. Nothing horrible yet.

Bex - Which supplements did you take this month? Was it the Vitex? Love the siggy!

Lisette - Hooray for 9 weeks today!

Eh, nothing to report. Didn't have a single symptom yesterday so not too sure anymore. NOt sure what Sunday was all about. AF is due tomorrow but I am taking that B6 so it just might actually extend my LP like I want it to. Thinking of holding off testing tomorrow and waiting til Saturday. Really don't want the disappointment.

 

[MrsBea23]

CH - Yay so pleased you are back. I think your cycle sounds very promising I really hope you get your BFP this month but if not at least you can feel positive about doing something getting DH's swimmers checked.

Bex - How are you feeling today has it sunk in yet? Oooh so exciting I will have to change my siggy.

Lisette - Sorry to hear you are so busy at work, what do you do? How are you feeling now, have you got MS yet how is the tiredness.

Snow - Your chart still looks good hun. Have you had any heartburn at all? What is the cm like?

Hands - I get BH all the time, it is usually a tightening around the bottom of my bump and I will feel my stomach and the whole thing is hard as a rock. When I get them I can feel my fundus which is good cause then I measure and make sure I am growing ok lol.

Nic - How are you? Not long until your scan. How are you going with the house hunting?

I really really hope we get out triple BFP this month that would be so awsome.
dust:

AFM not much going on I need to stop looking on the internet though I have freaked myself out with all of the stillbirth stories I am reading urgh.

My cleaner comes on a Tuesday and today she had left me a little pair of shoes they are so cute, it was very sweet of her.

 

[Srbjbex]

Bea - no still not sunk in at all!I don't think it will for a while....aim is to get past my mc point and I think then it will start to, but it's a bit surreal. I have been having some cramps, so I hope thats the bean just snuggling in!

Snow - I took vitex and evening primrose oil, but only up to ovulation. It is interesting that the only 2 cycles I have taken these supplements are the 2 cycles I got a bfp. It could be coincidence, but when I ttc again I will definitely use them. I also switched my supplements from the supermarket own brands, to Vitabiotics Pregnacare Conception, Hubby took the male equivalent too, and I carried on with those throughout and still am. Your chart is still looking good though, stay positive!

Hands - I did my test without telling hubby I was testing. Then when he came into the bedroom I saved I caved in and tested early. He was about to tell me off because he doesn't like seeing me disappointed with a bfn, but then I said 'it was positive'!! There were a few little tears from both of us!

Lisette - Ive been busy at work too the last few days, mainly because others are off sick...hope it will calm down for you soon.

Nic - hope you and you bump are doing well!

CH - You just remember, squiffy cycles are the best ones on here. Do you take any supplements?

 

[NotNic]

Hi everyone. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for BFP magic. So hopeful for you CH and Snow xx

So scan is tomorrow... Not sure whether I'm excited or scared. I'm hoping that it's good news and I can enjoy it. I really hope my fear of something being wrong won't stop me from appreciating it.

Bea - I would love to tell you to stop reading those scary stories but I know that I would be just the same! Braxton hicks - wow! I can't believe you are that far along already. So exciting.

Lisette - good luck for tomorrow darling. Let us know how you get on xxx

Hands - hope you are well. When's your next appointment?

Bex - I'm still dancing with happiness over your news.

Xxxx

 

[InHisHands]

Make sure you give us updates tomorrow Lisette and Nic!!!

Nic - my next appointment is Feb 1st to get my quad test results. Then my ultrasound is Feb 13th. So far away still.

 

[NewbieLisette]

[CHDickey]

Yeah hubby got blood work done and went to drop his swimmers off only to find out that lab doesn't test that anymore?? So we called doctor to see what next?

Yeah I think it's stress. Since the last bad post I have been elected to write new curriculum for the science department, had a professor offer to help publish my research, class started, and to top it off have my principal lincensing test Saturday! Whew!!!
