Need some buddies 1dpo, its a waiting game!

[HWPG]

hi everyone! full started my period this morning, starting with a "wake-up call" at 4a with cramps, woohoo! but ok - deep breath - start again. need to go home and count my opks strips. think i might invest in the shmancy ones like heather and use the ics just on the outside days... or use both... ha!
heather, thank you for trying to cheer me up. it was a great thing to do - although nothing was going to work for me yesterday. even today, i'm forcing the positive attitude, 'cause that negative energy is NOT good mojo. but thank you! it's nice to have so much support.
rach, girl, i am there with you. i remember the thanksgiving and christmas when my sister was preggers the first time (f-ing de ja vous this year, let me tell you, she's preg again and i'm trying trying trying and no? wtf?) i TOTALLY get it. i mean, i should say, i dont really remember those holidays that year because i literally zombied my way thru and have blocked it out. we all have defense mechanisms, right? you CAN do it, any way you decide. i promise - it's tough, it sucks, but (unfortunately) life goes on and tomorrow will come. we have your back GIRL! we love you! and still have high hopes for your bfp, this month or any month.
i got an email from a gf last night and will post what she wrote - it was great - but for now, gtg to a meeting! love you gals, thank you fro everything

here is what my friend wrote me:
your baby will be born on the exact day in the exact year it is supposed to be born.
i hate having to wait, to be sad, to be frustrated, to be jealous - but i have to believe that what she says is true. i just HAVE to! so, my ladies, this goes out to all of you.

 

[HWPG]

ok, MAMA, bought the digi opk tests. november is the month!

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

Ur gonna love them! Seeing the smiley makes everything happy. Yes I hope this is it for us all. Cmon november. Ur friend is right..it will happen when its the right time. Glad your a little better.

I agree with your friend too. It's just the waiting that sucks. I keep telling myself, there's a reason you aren't getting pregnant. There's something that God is waiting for. I only want a baby in His time, but I just wish He would let me know when that time is going to be...It'd make things so much easier. I'm better today, obviously, since I"m not spewing profanities. My outlook is slightly more sunny. I'm still doubtful this is my month. Even though I've had the strangest cramps/pressure constantly since probably yesterday or so. They're nothing like period cramps. Closer to O cramps. I guess I don't know how to describe them. Also, I've been slightly naseus constantly for about the same length of time. I just keep telling myself that this is all in my head...which it probably is. I'm not testing tomorrow, which will be 10DPO, but I will Saturday, Sunday and Monday. I just really hope I get my BFP one of those days...

Ok feeling good this month, dont know why? Need someone to keep me company. This is my first time writing down my symptoms would love someone to share I'm 1dpo here are symptoms:

Ovulation day: really bad cramping left side of tummy about 10:20pm in bed. Kept rolling over from side to side as it was keeping me awake. Feeling bloated.

Hi Is!

Okay, so, my temp went up this morning from 98.34 to 98.50, BUT, 98.50 is usually my topping out point and then I start to plumet. So I guess I'll just have to wait and see what tomorrow brings. I've also been feeling my cervix every morning and night since I have to shove my promitrium suppository up there anyways and I think it's starting to go up and it's really soft. Which, when you're preggers, it's supposed to be high and soft (most ppl...apparently...don't notice a huge difference until after pregnancy is comfirmed). DAMN IT! I'm getting my hopes up again. Next week is going to be either really awesome...or really sucky...So, can you girls humor me and look at my chart and tell me what you think?

[HWPG]

oh rachael! eek! i still think it's too early to say, but the chart looks so nice and your other symptoms are promising. i sure hope hope hope it's your time!

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

I agree with Mirolee! It looks great! Beautiful temp shift after O...your cramps are definately not O cramps that you're feeling. If you've taken clomid before and never experienced this, I'd have my hopes up as well. Go on be happy and let your hopes go way high...it's life sweetie and there's no better feeling in the world than the MAYBE I am pregnant. I know it's devastating when you find out you're not, but you deserve to feel this way when you have the chance. I hope this is it for you. Everything sounds great.

Welcome Is! Good luck to you!

cd14 today...already took 1 opk but no smiley....i will take one more next time i go to the bathroom probably around 1pm. I'll update later.

 

[HWPG]

heather, two questions: any advice on best time of day to take the opk? some places say yes to FMU, others no. it would be very hard and awkward to take it at lunch for me - could i do it after work, like 530p each day? second, the package and online sites say "have sex within the next 48 hours of the smiley" - if i get a smiley at 530p on thursday, can i have sex thursday and friday night? or is thursday "too soon"? what do you think?

 

[HWPG]

heather - opk update?

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

ugh....no smiley. that would totally suck if i'm gonna O later this month. Hubby goes back to work tomorrow night for 4 nights in a row. The last ime I didn't get my smiley on cd14 I ended up O late, like cd17, remember mirolee? I hope if it doesn't come today then it better tomorrow. BUT tonight is the last night we will bd...i guess we will skip tomorrow and bd again sunday morning when he gets home from work. It's all I can do. Why on a month it is best timing, I have to O later? FML!!! (F*** my life) I only have 1 opk test left also.

 

[HWPG]

ugh, heather! how frustrating!!!! so sorry!

 

[HWPG]

well i've been doing some googling and it seems split down the middle for answer. half say FMU is ok, half say no. i test twice a day anyways, so i'll just continue with that i suppose. i'll just start when i get EWCM... seems to be a good indication that O is coming (so i've heard )

try with 2nd or 3rd pee around noonish or early afternoon. Yes you could take it as soon as you get home! try to make sure you haven't drank too much to dilute it. no thursday wouldn't be too soon. remember, even after you O the egg waits for 12 hours so maybe even saturday also.

 

[Brayr08]

I have read to do as the instructions on the test say. I've also read that you should do it first thing in the morning, and then again about when you get home from work so that if you have a short surge, you shouldn't miss it. I have also heard that the best time for you to have sex is the night before the pos so that you know for sure your man's swimmers are there waiting on the egg. I don't know for sure though. I'd guess as with everything else, what's good for one person, may not be for another. So, now that I've probably confused you even more...

I just wanted to note, that today I had gotten lunch from a local coffee shop where I've had lunch a ton of times before and got the same thing that I always get. I always get their coleslaw with my sandwhich. I love their coleslaw. Well, I was already feeling nausous and when I took one bite, I was like ugh, that tasted like it had gone bad. Ate about one more bite and thought I was gonna hurl it up. It is possable they just made it a little different (there's a first time for everything), so I'm trying not to look too much into it. I sware if I'm not pregnant and this whole neausous thing is in my head I will not be happy...and I'll feel really stupid.

Heather, I'm sorry you haven't Oed yet. Why can't our bodies just do what we want? Life would be SO much simpler.

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

thanks rachael. i'm so excited for you... i can't stand it! So, you're testing in the am? I must've missed it or you forgot to mention that, I asked when you're expecting your af, or how long your lp is? everything still sounds great. Man, you're 11dpo today? how exciting!

ok, haven't opked yet...trying not to drink much and will take my last opk i have around noon. And yes, I knew it.... we ended up bding every night he has had off. The weird thing was, the one night i was laying on my belly after we were done and he said preggo belly. I brought that comment up the next day and said.."did you say that cuz you thought i was fat?" and he said, no you're going to be preggo. I just chuckled because we've tried for so long now and i said I doubt it. cd15 today.

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

oh, forgot to mention...yes, he goes back to work tonight, so we will skip tonight and i'll see if he's in the mood to do it when he gets home from work in the morning to try and cover all the best days. I pray i see that smiley today.

Hey ladies back for sat and sun till dh takes the computer again for a week.

Mirolee i'm glad you had a good time in mexico and i'm so so sorry you have had a sucky time with the mil, etc..... i know those months hun and all i can say is try to keep ya chin up. We're here with ya hun

Heather, i hope that you and dh can work it all out. I know that it will def happen for you hun and i think just bd'ing is the way forward. Hope you get your pos opk soon hun.

Rachel, the symps sound great hun. I cant wait for you to test. Fx huni, bring on the

afm, well i'm cd13 and still no peak. Dh goes away again for a week so its looking more and more like this month will be a wash out as there is no way for him to travel back. dtd today but dont think it will cover anything. Will dtd tomorrow as well and just hope for the best i suppose. We are moving on the 10th of december as well so lots to sort out inbetween. Going to see the new twilight film today, cant wait

 

[Brayr08]

My test was a BFN this morning and my temp went back down to 98.34. So, I will not test tomorrow if my temp goes even further down. If it stays the same I might, but I'm guessing all my symptoms were self induced. Crazy the tricks your mind can play on you.
