New Year 2012 babies

If your tests are still showing positive then you are pregnant One false positive, maybe but not for days. Lots of women don't have pregnancy symptoms, doesn't mean you aren't pregnant.

Thank you ladies for all of the kind words!

It's not that I don't believe that I am pregnant; it's just a matter of it sticking or not. The lack of symptoms just worries me... I know those who don't have to go through our issues would most likely tell me to enjoy the lack of symptoms; but once you've been diagnosed an infertile, it's hard to believe otherwise and relax.

18DPO blood test result (this past Tuesday): 985. Had more blood drawn today and tomorrow they'll give me a call with the numbers. Hoping they'll double...

Okay, enough about me and my drama! How is everyone and where is everyone in their cycle?

 

[Kimbre]

ao30. try and be positive! you dont want to stress out hun. maybe this time it will stick. i can understand why you are worried if you have not had many that stick.=( but my FX for you okay! let us know how its going???

I am on CD 12 today! tried doing SMEP but we cant seem to wait a day in between lol.
may try to skip today and BD tomorrow? we will see.

i am thinking ill be Oing soon. lots of fertile CM starting=)

Im cd14 today but no sign of ov and no cm
Well not had a good day-Went and met my friend at a beer festival after work today (I had apple juice!) she said her friend Bex was coming who I have met once before about 5 months ago. So in this Bex comes with a little baby bump! until that point I hadn't even thought about ttc all day! 9well for a few hrs more like) It hit me like a punch in the face! I went really quiet and just tried to look away. When Bex (who I now hate) went to get a drink, my friend asked me if I was ok and I said no and started to cry! (soooo embarassing in a very busy place!) we went for a walk away from everyone and had a chat about it and then I felt I couldn't stay (had only been there half an hr!) so went home to feel sorry for myself! I don't get upset when I see pregnant women on the street it's just because A) I wasn't expecting it and B) When I last met her I know she didnt have a boyfriend so I just know that she definately hasn't been trying and it was most likely an F-ing accident!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sorry my language just feel so angry at the unfairness.
To top it all off, my friend now feels really bad for putting me in the situation even though it's not her fault I reacted that way. Plus all her other friends that were there (that I don't know) were prob thinking 'who is this crazy women that turned up for half an hr, then ran off looking upset and didn't come back!!!!'
It's just so unfair why her and not me?

sorry for rant, rant over.xxx

I'm so sorry Schoolteacher. I know how you feel. I'm lucky that I don't come across many people like that but we are moving soon and no doubt I will. I think I will cry a lot more then too.

Af turned up today. A whole day early. So whatever the bleeding was at 10DPO it wasn't anything to do with pregnancy.

This is our last month TTC. We just won't be able to even have the opportunity to DTD over the next 3 months. We'll be staying with people while we get our new place set up... and as I'm not pregnant, I might as well get a job so I won't mess people around by getting a job and then getting knocked up. So I suppose this is it for me.

 

[Traskey]

For you both!

LTTC is by far the worst experience that I have ever been through, wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. It really does put your emotions through the ringer and catch you unawares. I'm sorry school teacher that you were put into that position. It's always harder to deal with when you aren't expecting it.

Rivetkitten, I am sorry that the turned up. Good luck in your new place and for the next few months. Perhaps you can sneak a bd in when they are out. Don't give up hope for your future though.

 

[ao30]

schoolteacher- I know exactly how you feel. It always hurt when it was someone random, someone I didn't know, who was pregnant, and not so much when it was a close friend.

rivet- Don't say that this is it! You can get creative Perhaps this time of "we can't do much this cycle anyway" will end in a surprise! I remember when husband and I first got married, we went vacationing with my parents. We stayed in a lovely little cabin in separate bedrooms, but the walls were paper-thin... to this day I don't know if my parents heard us or not, but we tried to be very, very quiet.

kimbre- Yay for fertile CM! It's so awesome that you have it... so many girls on here don't.

traskey- How are things with you?

 

[Traskey]

Oh, i'm hanging in there. Very fed up of my "no food LL" diet but it's a necessary evil to get the ivf. Thanks for asking

Did you get your blood results back? Has it doubled?

 

[ao30]

I've said it before, but your weight loss is awesome. I wish I could remember the online program that charts your weight loss for you- sort of like FF (do you use something like that?)... a girl I know uses it and she says it helps so much; it gives you a literal graph and stats on how much you have left to go, along with helpful hints that relate to wherever you are on the journey.

How soon after you get down to your goal weight can you begin getting ready for IVF?

I had a message last night from the doctor's. They didn't leave an exact number, but said everything looked right on track. I didn't bother calling today to find out the # because I know that if I have the results I will spend half the day googling and worrying. So I guess I really am pregnant for now.

 

[Kimbre]

ao30! im so excited for you! try to think + hun!

 

[Rivetkitten]

ao30 LOL we'll be sleeping on an airbed. I don't think any manner of creativity can make quiet on an airbed. I'll be terrified of it exploding while we're at it.

The ivf should start within a couple of months of hitting my goal weight. I see the FS at beginning of July so probably around September.

on the phone call from the doctors. That's fantastic news. Fingers crossed for a sticky bean.

 

[ao30]

rivet- Oh, my! Don't know if you were trying to be funny, but that mental picture- of an air mattress exploding- too funny. Actually had something similar happen to some guests of ours who stopped by unexpectedly before we had purchased a guest bed. Now it makes me wonder what they were up to

On a more serious note... reading your journal makes me tear up so often. I hope there will be a light for you very soon, and I mean that whole heartedly. I know it's easy to say things like that on an online forum, but I really do ache when I think about how many of us there are on here. Many, many hugs to you.

trask- September! That is wonderful news. It's good to hear that there isn't an endless waiting list. The waiting game gets old really quick when you're LTTC...

 

[Rivetkitten]

No no... I too had that hilarious mental vision of being mid coitus...where an enourmous bang, interspersed our rampant thrusting...only to have our friends, their dogs, their two kids, come trampling down stairs to find out what has turned their sleepy little cottage into down town Gaza...to find us two there...semi naked. I also imagine there's a fair amount of squeaking involved.

 

[ao30]

Oh, my bad- I somehow missed the LOL in your post. Must be blind today...

Still. You never know. Sometimes the urge is just too great to let is pass by (and why does the desire pop up whenever you CAN'T have any fun? The universe laughs at us)... Perhaps your friends wouldn't mind the um, interruption, if they knew it was for a very, very good cause

 

[schoolteacher]

Thanks for comments everyone, rivetkitten-good luck with your new place and I really pray that if you do get a chance to dtd an unexpected surprise comes your way!
Well I hoped for ov 4 days ago, though don't know why as it changes every cycle anyway! finally got it today on cd 18!
How is everyone else?x

 

[Traskey]

Yay for ov I am 5dpo and craving pickled onions It's not a pregnancy symptom it's an "I want food" symptom (I'm on a meal replacement diet).

 

[Kimbre]

hi ladies.
i am suppose to be 2 DPO today. im either 2 or 1 DPO just waiting for FF to confirm it.

hoping that im a little bit closer to our BFP. if i dont get it this cycle i will try pre seed in the soft cups next time=)

i have alot of Preg tests so itll be hard to hold off on testing, but i hate being let down by BFNs so i usually hold out for a bit.

DH and I are getting super anxious now.... ugh.

 

[schoolteacher]

Goodluck in the 2ww traskey and kimbre!x

 

[lissa110]

Good luck with your 2ww ladies hope you get your bfps at the end. Af still hasnt shown but it has been a pretty busy and stressfull last 2 weeks. I havent taken any tests since my midday a week or so ago. I probably do a fmu one in a week or so if af still doesnt show.
Ao30- any news on the bfps front?
