Need some buddies 1dpo, its a waiting game!

did you do anything different that may have made it that low? i don't know if it's possible or not.....i'm going to go buy some tonight too. I just took my pad out. I went to the bathroom and nothing, nada. It's gone...haven't checked with finger again butmaybe next time I go I will. I just don't know......good luck to us both, mirolee. Dumb temping...why did your temp have to go down?
 
i know! i know i know i know i know!!!!
 
ok 4pm check. a little spotting. ok, period tomorrow! (pokes abdomen and makes "i mean business" face)
 
ok, just went to the :loo: again.... had some red on undies and so when i wiped too....put a pad back on. So, it is her...and not teasing anymore. I won't be buying any tests tonight after all. At least I'm not crazy anymore and getting my hopes up...again.
 
heather! ok, bfn = big fat disappointment. we are so sad for you and with you! but now you know and have a new timeline and get to get excited about ttc (this stands for "taste the crazy") (hehe)!!!! no more teasing or questioning. have an awesome night of ice cream and with your daughters, and let us know what you decide your next step is. WE ARE HERE :)
 
thanks mirolee....i don't need ice cream that's for sure. Going to a jewelry party right now for a little bit then home to bathe the kiddos and get them ready for bed. Then I will let it sink in and have a little ME time watching tv. I was looking at hubbys calendar and he has off my calendar days 13-16. I think they are pretty good days. Let's just hope I don't O later again this month and we should be set. So I have already planned out this cycle.
 
hi everyone!
i started my period, yay! i know that we are never actually excited about it, but this time i'm like "ok! finally i KNOW something. and i get to make a new plan and new graph and new SMEP!" i am jazzed about october! plus, i'm going to Cozumel first week in November, and i was 1% worried that i was going to have to take it easy, and now i can be a little more adventurous! Heather, let's do this.... we're going to have so much fun in October, woot woot!
 
yes, let's do it....October is gonna be a great month! Let's have fun and cheers to us for a new cycle! Let's make the best of it and hope this is our month!
 
Good Thursday morning ladies!
Well, i've entered "the boring phase" of my cycle. Nothing here to report except anticipation of ovulating - and all these "plans" i have in place. I'm hoping they work! Mama, any new strategy for this month?
 
hi again! today i am bitter: here is what happened:
This will be the 4th year of bringing my nephew trick or treating at my work. my bro-in-law said the other day that “he’s coming to (my work) for trick or treating this year”. I responded, “oh, I thought it was like an auntie and nephew thing” Today, I msgd my sister asking her if it could still be an auntie/nephew thing, not that I didn’t want to see my BIL, but that my nephew is crazy when BIL is around and I liked that it was something that i did with my nephew. My sisters response was, “ I will think about it and see what I can do.. actually (my son) goes crazy when I am around.. he's actually more subdued with his faher...i just know that his father is excited to be able to do stuff now that he has an office job..”. And instead of being understanding, my response in my head is, “it’s nice that my BIL has that new job and flexibility now, but it doesn’t mean he has to do the company trick or treating. There are 298475 other things he could do with his son”. And the reason i am bitter is because she wins this battle, no matter what, because it's her child. So on one hand she wants me to do fun auntie things with him and on the other hand she or her husband get to butt-in on things because they are the parents. sorry, i am not trying to diss parents... i'm just feeling a little jealous and bitter. and i also feel like since my child will be the third in our family - my first, but third niece/nephew/grandchild/etc - they wont get that special 1:1 time. (goes to bathroom and cries a little, then puts on big girl pants and faces the world again).
 
im sorry hw...i hope he will get to go with you.

new strategy?...umm, no. I know what i've done to get preggo before...i'm only going to use preseed and bd cd13, 14, 15, 16 and if it doesn't work, then oh well. I may skip out on the softcups, but not sure yet. I need to order a new box preseed. I really am so torn....i want a baby so bad to replace the one i lost and should have in my arms right now....but everytime i get a bfn and start my period, i think it's so nice having my girls as big as they are where we can do more family stuff together and have more money for things we want. My oldest is in 2nd grade and my youngest goes to preschool 2 days a week for a few hours. I get a whole 4 hours to myself 2 times a week and i love it. And I think if I do get a preggo again and it happens to be a girl, i will actually be heartbroken. I want a boy to replace my boy i lost. I just really think it's not meant to be to have another child. I've never had to "try" this long to get pregnant. Maybe I am being selfish, but is it so much to ask to have a boy. I sooo flippin hate that God took my boy away, i hate it. I hate myself... i don't know what to do. But i said before last year, October was the last month I had my period, so this will be the last month I wil try most likely. I didn't realize it but when i got preggo before the chinese gender prediction chart said boy....and it was true. For this month if i conceive, it says girl. Maybe I shouldn't try this month.
 
thanks Heather. for understanding and for sharing so much with us.
i cant imagine your loss or how you feel. you are so strong to try again. i really do understand you're being angry at God - i felt the same way 4 years ago - and spent many nights crying and asking "why?" (still do....) many hugs and love to you.
i think i'm going to give 4 days in a row a try this month when EWCM shows up. not sure if you should skip october or not - where did you find the chinese gender calendar? i'm interested. how many months this time around have you been trying?
 
Aw HW...It's okay, we're allowed to be bitter. I don't really mind that my sister had the first babies, she's older, so I guess I've always expected it, but like I've said before, I will not be okay if my b/sil have a baby before us. DH is the oldest, we got married first, it's only fair, right?

I think I have finally officially ovulated. My chart finally is showing a cover line and that my BBT indicates that I ovulated on the 8th, making me 3DPO. FINALLY...Hoping this is it for me. I am exhausted after all that bding...lol We've bd 11 out of the last 16 days.

I'm sorry you ladies didn't get you BFP's this month. We have GOT to break this "no BFP" streak soon.
 
thanks so much, hw... you brought tears to my eyes :cry: I've been trying ever since after my first menstrual after the miscarriage. I miscarried March 2nd and bled for 3 weeks. My next period came on April 16th and have been trying since then. Yes, maybe I should not skip. I guess i'll have whatever god wants me to have...i will love that baby no matter what. It won't be the same, never will be....won't ever exactly "replace" my lost angel, but it will help fill the void.

Bray, congrats....maybe you will break the streak! Fx for you! :hugs:
 
ooh, it does say boy this month....i am def trying now for sure! Better order my preseed so it's here by the 20th. It's so awesome hubby has off the 13-16...lets pray i get my smiley on cd14 this time....this would be perfect timing while he is off. Every night he has off we will bd and i will be able to lie down all night long! I am soooo excitedfor this month. Bring it on! Let's do it, hw!
 
Sorry Heather, didn't mean to ignore you comment, I think we must of posted around the same time. :) I cannot imagine the pain of losing your baby that far along. It would be really dissappointing to lose it with in the first few weeks, but nothing compared to being far enough along that I'm sure you were able to feel him move, to KNOW that it's a him. My heart breaks for you.
 
its ok rachael..i just had to get it off my chest, even though i think i've talked about it before. It just makes gets to every so often...the why's, the if's, etc. Ya know, after having that miscarriage...I would've and could've walked out of that hospital pregnant again...that's how much i was ready for another baby. Anyways, venting made me feel a little better. Thank you, sincerely. It was very shocking and the most tragic thing I've ever had to deal with in my life thus far. I really think it gave me anxiety problems. When I head the words.. "There;s no heartbeat" I started panicking, breathing hard, crying so hard I was throwing up and as much as I didn't want to believe it was real...I wanted that dead baby out of me asap. When I was going through labor to get him out...in other rooms I heard women screaming (giving birth of course) and after they gave birth, the labor and delivery floor played a nursery song in every room. It didn't help my situation at all. I realize now after going through all that, getting pregnant right away wasn't the right thing to do. I needed to grieve and have time to get over it. It didn't take too long, but still. We had him cremated and his ashes are here at home in a baby blue angel urn. He is here with us, just not in my arms. Starting to tear up, so that is all. Thanks for listening.
 
Heather, did they ever discover what happened? i dont mean that in a morbid way, but in a preventative way. I think it is sad that more women dont talk about their experiences, especially because it is more common than we know, and only when something happens to us specifically do we seek out others. i feel so fortunate to have found a diverse set of women on this thread with many experiences to draw upon.
rachael, yay for ovulation! it's so dorky, but isnt temping a teeny bit fun?
cd3 here. la dee da. so impatient to dtd....
