Mid-August Testers

[MrsBea23]

Just back from Dave Gorman he was very good (He is an English comedian on the telly over here, and he wrote a couple of very funny books).

CH - I am not telling anyone we are trying really certainly not work just because they would be asking everyday and it is taking so long it would be a nightmare lol. 2 girlfriends know, 1 because we went off the BCP together so we could have babies together and sufice to say she got pg straight away and is almost due and the other because I guessed she was trying and having problems so we talk about it with each other.

Snowflake - Yay hope you caught your egg.

Jaza - what are AMH levels?

Dust to everyone on our lucky thread.

Morning Ladies,

How are we all this morning?

CH - your wedding photo is lovely definitely worth the effort of making it your avatar.

Lisette & Kaleido - I know exactly what you mean I am 33 (34 in December) and TTC my 1st as well and I really feel the pressure sigh.

Hey MrsBea23,

Happy to see we're not alone! Feeling the pressure to but try very much to keep myself in check...works some days

FF seems to think I O'd a few days ago but temp drop was only a day and CM's didn't seem to match so now I'm totally feeling confused!! Just gonna keep trying to BD as much as possible and hope to catch it if it hasn't already happenned!

Really nice to have a place like this to come and share and support eachother through the journey!

FX for all you ladies Beautiful little bundles of joy to us all real soon!!

CH - We are keeping it a secret from most everyone. Just one of girlfriends do I regularly talk about TTC kinda in depth. Another knows bc she was going to start around the same time but didn't. Other than that no one else. Especially not work. I know a girl I work with started last month bc she told me but I am more of the type of person to keep things to ourselves.

Couldn't agree with you more!!

How is everyone feeling today? Has everyone confirmed O, and is now officially in the dreaded 2WW?

Nothing going on here, just normal day for me!

:babydust: to all!!!!

I am so glad we can all come on here and share our journeys. Even though I want people in my life to not know, it would drive me absolute nuts not to talk about it with someone! Thanks for all your support!

I am on CD 5. My next period is due August 20, so I plan on testing either the 18th or 19th. Trying not to get my hopes up, but I really hope this is my month! I just don't understand why the women who want a baby so badly and would make amazing mothers just can't have it right away? We all deserve a we need more spring babies

How any months have you been ttc if you don't mind me asking?

I've been trying for 5 months now.

Hi everyone,
I would like to join in with all of you. I think this cycle I really am going insane. TTC #1 and it gets worse every cycle lol. FX for everyone.

Jaza - what are AMH levels?

AMH is Anti-Mullerian Hormone and it reflects one's ovarian reserve. Mine seems to be horrible for someone who is (only) 33.

Unless my temp drops tomorrow, my big O should be on the chart tomorrow. Then I wait...

 

[MrsBea23]

Morning Everyone,

I Hope everyone is well today.

Bex - Time is going sooo slowly waiting waiting and I am only 6dpo ha ha. I have a few more things booked in the festival one on Saturday should be good it is a 3 hour show with Andrew Maxwell, 4 poofs and a piano and ruby wax among others so I am looking forward to that.

Lisette – My body does strange things I usually get + opk and the tiniest bit of ewcm about 3 or 4 days before I O and FF always gives me dotted crosshairs because it doesn’t like that. I think our bodies just do whatever they want at times. FF might still move you O date though it did that to me this month and moved me to 3 days later so hope you have kept up the bd’ing.

CH – Feeling ok about TTC today just waiting. Soooo excited about my hols which are in 5 weeks though, I have just heard from the folk we are staying with in Palo Alto and we are now booked to go to a Giants V Dodgers game on the 9th September wee hee and we are staying at the Intercontinental in San Fran and that looks lovely.

dB – Welcome hun, I hope we can help and not hinder you insanity lol.

Jaza – I am sorry to hear that hun, have you looked into any natural therapies to help with you TTC journey? I am having acupuncture and taking Chinese herbs and I really think they help.

 

[Jazavac]

I haven't, I'm not really into alternative medicine and, so far at least, we should have no problems with conception. It's just that my tentative diagnosis doesn't allow us to wait too long. But we'll see!

 

[MrsBea23]

Fx'd this is your month hun.

 

[CHDickey]

MrsBea- that sounds fun and exciting! Enjoy yourself. Have you visited the US before or often? I have yet to make it out of country. Well, besides Mexico. My DH and I love to travel, but will probably have to hold off until kiddos are grown. Good thing we are starting now. Lol!

I just uploaded the baby center app to my phone. It is really informative! If you haven't already uploaded. Give it a try!!

Hope all is well, pretty uneventful today. Feeling fine a day of meetings!

Welcome DB!! Hopefully we can give you comfort. Hasn't been too obsessive onthis thread, but then again we are all still pretty early on the 2ww. Babydust to you!

 

[NotNic]

Hiya. How's everyone doing? Absolutely no-one knows about me and hubby TTC'ing, however I know that hubby's twin sister will be the first to spot when I'm eventually pg. I guessed all three of her pregnancies early (though my hubby refused to believe me. It's like he passed his twin psychic link on to me!). Hubby's family keep saying you'll be next, however I really don't think they know that we actually are trying. Hoping to keep it that way too!

I am actively symptom spotting this month, as I don't think its our turn, and I don'tt 'feel' pregnant, but I'd like to keep myself motivated Symptoms so far (probably psychosomatic!) are fuller boobs. (TMI alert!) Normally my right one is a bit smaller than my left, but I'm filling my cup today. Have had odd twinges. Need to pee quite a bit more than usual. Been dreaming hugely vivid dreams and a non-pg symptom, I'm a lot drier down there than usual I'm pretty sure I should have increased cm, so that would suggest I'm out, but I'm wondering if I might be the exception to this. I know that this is total wishful thinking! Anyone else inventing symptoms?

 

[CHDickey]

Hey NotNic-

I drove myself crazy last month so I am trying to not. The only thing I have noticed is two evening headaches ( not sure if it's because of heat) and increased cm yesterday and today. My cervix is still high but not hard or soft sorry tmi!! That's all for me though!

 

[NewbieLisette]

LOL Mrs.Bea I agree, our bodies tend to be quite complex & tempermental! Fingers crossed that the stars allign for us all this month! Also trying hard to not drive msyelf and DH crazy this cycle just hoping NOT to see AF and get to test this month!!!! BFP BFP BFP!!!! lol

 

[NotNic]

I'm trying pma. If I think myself pregnant, then I will be pregnant!!

Every other month I have been pretty much negative and managing my expectations. 1st month I had loads of symptoms and found it very challenging. The second I was 100% sure I wasn't pg, so didn't get stressed. Last month more optimistic but not stressed because I was happy if TTC took a few more months. This month I've finally put my hands up and admitted to myself I really want to be pg now, rather than just in the future! Totally settling myself up for a fall, but hey there is a chance, right?

 

[NotNic]

BTW there is some beautiful wedding photo avatars on this thread! You all look lovely!
