Hey Girls,

Just wanted to say I am away on hols for 2 weeks from tomorrow so I won't be here for a while. I really hope when I get back that there are lots of BFPs.

to everyone

 

[NotNic]

Have a fabulous holiday Mrs Bea! xx

 

[Srbjbex]

Have fun Bea!!!

I just have sore nipples still today.... a lot more sore than usual, but the rest of my chest feels fine.

Like last night i went to lean down to get a sip of my drink and my nipples brushed against the table and it REALLY HURT! If i rub my finger across them gently.. barely touching them, its like a sharp pain.

They aren't normally that sore... but with that being the only symptom .. i dont have much to go on. -- And hey each period is slightly different.

 

[Srbjbex]

Sounds positive InHisHands!!! Got my fingers crossed for you! When are you planning on testing?

I have had a massive temp rise this morning - that put me in a very happy mood!

My boobs feel fine, which is good news. Normally I always know when AF is due because boobs feel like thay are made of lead and are really tender. But nothing so far!

Getting real urges to test now, but really want to wait till after the weekend!

 

[NotNic]

When are you due Bex? x

 

[Srbjbex]

Well this cycle has been WAY longer than anticipated (stupid AC and EPO!) but on the basis that I actually O'd on CD24, then I should be due on Wednesday next week. But to be honest, feels like it's anyone's guess at the moment!

Hey Bea, have a blast!!

Snowflake- this school year has been wicked busy. I am interning under my administrator, so she has me super busy, plus classes at night until 10pm. Makes for slow starts!

Bex- my fingers are crossed for you! I typically have 26 day cycles and now on cd28, so we will see?!?! Wondering if it's extending because of proestrogen cream and vitamins? FF has me testing next Tuesday. I tested yesterday because I had the urge, of course bfn, but hopeful the witc stays away!

Still no sign of her this morning, so I am going to hope and pray that this is a good sign!!

 

[NotNic]

What has happened to all our cycles this month? I'm on CD32. I have never had a cycle 30-anything!

Fingers crossed everyone xx

 

[InHisHands]

Srbjbex - If my period follows the typical 27, 28, 27, 28 cycle day pattern that i have.. AF will be due on Monday. However i've been really stressed out this month due to going back to work, hubby going to the field, finding out the news about my dad, and etc.... so i wouldn't be suprise if she stalled for a day or two. I figure if i haven't started by Wednesday, then it will be time to check. -- Hope i can wait till then (and that AF doesnt show and i get a BFP).

CH - keep us posted. It does sound like your period changed up quite a bit this month. Hopefully that's a good thing.

Besides, it looks like we will all be testing within a day or two of each other ****Baby Dust that we get our BFP*****

NotNic- Not sure what is going on with your cycle. Perhaps this will be your month and little bean is just a slow HCG starter.

Have you guys thought of names already... since many of us have been ttc for so long?

Hands - Sorry about the sore nipples - its def a good symptom though! For some reason my boobs don't hurt this month - which is very unusual for me...

Bex - awesome temp raise!

CH - Those are some long days! You need some R & R time! Hooray for AF staying away.

I'm testing Sunday. So today my temp raised again. I don't know what to make of it. I am almost making up reasons as to why it shouldn't be so high because I am scared of getting my hopes up too high as well. So I woke up 15 min before my alarm clock to temp - I woke up warm from under the covers but I am always under the covers and took my temp right away and didn't wait for the alarm clock and got a 98 - which is the highest temp I have ever gotten. I am wondering if I should have gotten out from under the covers and layed awake the 15 min and then temp to get my body temp down? I have never done that before. IDK.

Also, I am just so scared that I am going to get a huge dip as well soon. I want to have my PMA but at the same time don't want to be really upset if I get a BFN. I hope this makes sense. I am happy about the raise but am cautious at the same time.

 

[NotNic]

It doesn't bode well if it is a slow starter. My future Bean will never get out of bed on time for school! I really don't know what to think about this cycle. Apart from (sorry for TMI) loads and loads of CM and occasional waves of nausea (which is probably unrelated) I don't feel anything.

OH and I have similar tastes in girls names so I dont think we'll struggle there. Our favourites were Isabella (really common now) and Emilia (OH's friend has just called their daughter that) so our top choices have slipped out a bit now. Boys names I'm dreading. Everyone we know has had boys, so all the good ones feel like they've been taken!

 

[NotNic]

Snowflakes, whatever the outcome your temps sound very good, so be excited about that. Don't worry about testing yet. Just take each day and temp as they come. To be honest the BFN's aren't too bad if you still have a nugget of belief and pma. After 5 I have become an expert at brushing them off! xx

 

[InHisHands]

Nipples are still sore and im unusually gasy today (non stinky). I would love to be pregnant this month, but i'm just not buying into it. Keeping my mood mellow

 

[Srbjbex]

Nic - you still waiting patiently? Remember no witch is good news!!

inhishands - sore nipples sound like a pain but think it is a good sign!

Snowflake- You keep that PMA in check!! There have been enough times on here you have rallied the rest of us, so you hang on in there now and take some of your own advice! Ttc turns us all into loonies, isn't it amazing how much overanalysing you can do!

CH - I can tell you are back at work and a busy bee, you are much quieter on here make sure you get some rest time in lovely

I have a really positive feeling about us ALL this month! Genuinely! As annoying our crazy cycles have been, maybe this way we will all get our BFP on the same day!!

Loads of love to you guys

 

[Srbjbex]

What a difference a day makes....PMA from last night gone!

Massive temp drop this morning, think the :witch; has grabbed her broom and preparing to fly....

 

[NotNic]

@#>~#@\|#! To that Bex! Still you're not out until the evil woman is in. Is there a chance it's an implantation dip?

I am STILL waiting! I didn't test this morning. I figure if I am pregnant than the truth will come out eventually! I will be a week late on Sunday so I will test again then, and if still no clearer off to the doctors I go! If AF is due at least I know I am capable of having a longer cycle. If I am then that's a week's less pregnancy I need to hide from people! He he! I am very hopeful that my BFP is just waiting for everyone else and it's shy, but either way I am much calmer than I was this time last week!

Hang in there everyone. Xx

 

[CHDickey]

Lol! I am much quieter!

Bex- don't get down on yourself. Keep the PMA. No witch is good news!

NotNic- that's awesome! Are you going to wait and test on Sunday?

As far as names...we have 2 boy names: David Andrew and Benjamin Edward. Only one girl name Nancy Layne. They are all family names. Nothing original here!

Still no witch and no spotting. 8 dpo and test date is Tuesday. We will see!

 

[InHisHands]

I havent slept too well the last few nights. Keep having akward dreams.. tossing and turning and waking up an hour before the alarm. I heard sleeplessness could be a sign of pregnancy, but I'm not trying to read that much into it since I've been stressed out due to work lately and my past history of BFNs.

Besides that... sore nipples and gas. That's all i got on i believe this is 10 dpo. It is a total wait and see game.

CH - I'm much more calmer this month too. Do you think it has to do with working again? BTW I think child whether be a boy or girl will have a beautiful name

Bex - Try to hold onto the fact that it's not over until the witch comes... and if she comes that it will be a start to a brand new month.

Nic - I definately would go to get checked out if a week goes buy and still no AF or BFP. I have my Fx crossed. I haven't heard of Emilia, but its a nice twist to Emily and Isabella even though popular... is a gorgous name.

I'm glad that hubby and i arent the only ones who have already come up with names due to waiting so long. We have 2 boys names: Dexter Atticus and Gabriel Lucas (he's leaning more towards dexter and me towards gabriel) and Anna Grace for a girl. We really struggled with Girl names.
