New Year 2012 babies

[schoolteacher]

Sorry no pma here. temp went down further today so think im out. gutted doesn't cover it, felt like crying all day today.....

 

[ao30]

I am so sorry about all the BFN's and temp dips, ladies. I kind of avoided B&B off and on this past week, hoping that when I came back there would be some good news. I really felt like this 2WW for everyone would bring good news- so many hopeful signs. UGH. I hate it all, it's not fair...

I think one of the reasons I am so emotionless right now about this turn of events for myself might be because my husband is away on business. He had to leave for a month right after I had the blood work done, and it's been hard to stay in contact because he's had to travel around so much. It's made me realize that it's really not worth it for me without him by my side. I just need his support (pathetic?).

I haven't told him yet, but if this does not stick I want to stop TTC. In my mind, it's official. I know I shouldn't be so negative, but I am really just waiting for the bleeding to begin. I would rather it happen sooner than later, before I get attached.

Hang in there girls!

Has anyone seen or heard from lissa?

ST - sorry about the temp dip How many DPO are you?

A BFN for me too I know it's only 9DPO but I have a feeling that if I were og a test would show at least the faint line by 9DPO

Trask - I look like a junkie again Nurses can never find my veins so they need to use both arms!

Kimbre - we are looking for a new car now and I wanted to see a pram close by to decide on what boot space we need. we went to Mothercar and I wheeled a couple of prams...it was heartbreaking because I actually want to be choosing one for me

 

[ao30]

Maria, you never know... I didn't get a clear + until the day after AF was due. FX for you...

 

[Kimbre]

yeah maria hang i there!
ao30- i understand why youre thinking itll just be doen with. but you really should TRY to think a bit more +. hang in there=) how many weeks is it now?

 

[MariaF]

Ao30 - I agree with Kimbre. You must believe in your baby! He/she has been strong for you thus far. Try to imagine your bump growing, feeling the kicks and finally holding your baby in your armshow far gone are you? Could you have an early scan? That would your mind at reast and you could show DH scan pics when you tell him! When is he back?

Do you guys watch Khloe and Lamar? She was talking about their fertility struggle today and I felt so emotional for her...
I always get so excited and positive at the start of each cycle. I either have a step by step plan of opk's, temping, BDing on time, Preseed etc or try to stay as relaxed as possible and do nothing. Then at the beginning of the 2WW I get so excited and positive this is the month only to be brought back down to earth with a thump around 10DPO

 

[Kimbre]

i am exactly the same maria! exactly! i get so +++ around O time and most of 2ww. then i get gutted. ugh. how long was it that you have been ttc? how old r u?

 

[Kimbre]

i went out today and bought pre seed=) hoping that it will work along with my soft cups!
how much should we use?

 

[MariaF]

We will be onto month 22 in the next cycle. I'm 29 and DH is 36... I was really hoping he'd have a couple of kids before he's 40

We don't have Preseed in the UK but the equivalent called Conceive Plus. It comes in a tube and is soooo liquid! Its a mission to get inside rather than all over the sheets!

We used it both times around ovulation this cycle but still no luck by the looks of it

 

[Kimbre]

ugh thats such a long time hun... FX that you get that BFP soon.

Hello Ladies!!! Boy have I missed ya'll !! Sorry it has been so long (like 2 weeks) been a bit busy. Internet at my house has crashed, and on top of it cable company giving me the run around to fix it. Also It is my sons 8th birthday on Monday and his party is this Saturday so planning must be done.

I havent tested since the last time but I have been getting some pretty bad cramps both in front and back the last few days. Heres a question... I was looking back over a few months of charting and have seen when I think I should get af I get very very lite spotting, so lite that if I wasnt looking I wouldnthave noticed it. Do you ladies think this may be af or something else.

I will test again some time next week because if my ticker is rite I should have af. Plus if Im not preggo I am going to start Vitex and cant be on that and be preggo.

Ao30 - I am very happy for you even if you think there is an issue. I didnt show any signs until around 8 weeks. What are you at now?? Best of luck with the eggy sticking!!!

Theres just so much I want to say to everyone but I feel like I have already written a book, sorry about that.

 

[MariaF]

Hi Lissa - I used to get all sorts of spotting because of PCOS. I didn't know what to think about it Sometimes it was heavier, but still only enough for a daily pantiliner and some days it was barely there.
I remember sometimes it went on for weeks and drove me absolutely up teh wall! So I still remember very clearly ow frustrating it can be!

Did you do opks to confirm ovulation? Best of luck and BABYDUST for that next test.

AFM - 10DPO, slight temp dip, not even a hint on a sensitive test. No symptoms so I "know" Im out...It just seems more and more unreal now....if it hadn't happened for so long, chances it probably never will I find it hard to believe those stories when ladies were TTC for years and then suddenly BHAM it happens when you least expect it. I know these things hapen but so rarely..

 

[Rivetkitten]

GAH... boxes everywhere. I'm drowning in boxes. How is everyone?

 

[schoolteacher]

15dpo today no sign of AF but my Lp varies so still could be another couple of days. i didn't take temp today as it makes me sad to see it going down so I don't know what it would have been. Oddly today lots of creamy cm which is unusual for me right beofre AF. I wonder if it means anything? Not taken a test for a couple of days as I figured with temp going down how could I not be out?
Maria-I agree, I find it hard to believe in all the lttc stories where after so long they suddenly get pregnant! (I believe they happened of course just not that I will be lucky enough to have the same thing happen!) FX for u there is still time to get a +!
Wecome back Lisa and Rivet and ao30 we missed u all!
ao30-you need a mantra 'my bean will stick!!!!!' I feel for you with husband away I hate mine away for even 2 days!!!!x

 

[MariaF]

Thanks ST.

I know exactly what you mean about taking the temperature. The last 2 days it was 37.11 both days. The today it was 37.07. I know it's a small dip but I looked at older charts and the exact same things hapened every month. First a couple of small dips and then 2 massive ones and af arrives on the 2nd day of the dip.
Trouble is Im obsessed with testing Even if I KNOW Im not I still cant help it....

Kitten - you moving house? Good Luck!

 

[ao30]

Nice to see you again lissa and rivet! Good luck testing lissa. Rivet, let us know how the air-mattress BD goes It still makes me giggle.

Oh, Maria, hoping that those temps shoot back up for you tomorrow...

Schoolteacher- temping is such a mixed bag. It's so helpful in some ways, and yet so annoying in others!

I'm 7 1/2 weeks. Friday will be 8 weeks. Have had some one-sided pain since last night, and breasts don't feel as sensitive. Husband called (he knows I'm pregnant, but left as soon as blood work confirmed it), told me to take care of myself and of the baby. Then he said, "It feels so strange to say that: the baby. I think I'm finally starting to think this is real," and I just sat there quietly, feeling so bad for him. Just sort of aching. He tries not to say things like that, to reveal how much he wants to be a father, so when he does say it, it just makes me so sad.

 

[Rivetkitten]

Maria: I had to stop temping it was driving me nuts and it was never right because I sleep badly.

The house moving is stressful. So if the rule is right... "relax and it will happen" is true there's no possible way in hell I'm getting pregnant this month even though there were plenty of eligible events. And in away I am glad I am not pregnant because I'm just lifting boxes all day every day and at least I don't have to worry eh?...silver lining and all that. I did have loads and loads of EWCM today for some strange reason. Dunno why...it was strange.

 

[ao30]

Are you still on the soy, rivet?

awww that is so sweet of him though. i am keeping you in my thoughts & FX for your bean to stick!

 

[MariaF]

ao30 - Im also having everything crossed this little bean sticks! Any chance of an early scan?? It would be such a relief to hear the little heartbeat!

Also I have heard that symptoms can change daily so I would not read too much into breasts being less sensitive.

AFM - 11DPO, another BFN (why on earth do I still have this urge to test?!) I know Im not. I have wasted about 50 pounds on tests this month because I was convinced I was pg around about 7DPO
