October Sticky Beans!

[todmommy4568]

Raich- definitely a BFP!

Secondnote- that is lovely! Time to get excited!

Pnut- I can't believe you are going to wait until after AF is due to test! You are my hero! I think ff should give you some ch! Even with your temps in pre-o range it put my coverline so low that almost all my pre-o temps are above the coverline so I would think it would still recognize yours with the pattern

Angel- so sorry I understand why that decision would be so difficult, NTNP sounds like a good plan.

Thanks everyone.

now I have to decide whether we are going to take off the next 3 months, like I originally said I would, or go ahead and try anyway. I don't want to get pregnant and have a due date that will make me miss the first month of school, that is so difficult as a teacher to start a year not in the classroom so that when you come back you are going to a classroom that is yours but isn't really yours. Part of me isn't sure that I want to stop trying.

I'm thinking we are going to NTNP for the next couple months. :/

But as long as the thread sticks around I'll stick around with you ladies if you don't mind. I'd like to see you all get your BFPs!

Angel I can totally relate to your delimma! I ended up ttc for 10 months with dd... originally trying for a winter/spring/summer baby because... teacher!

After no success for so long I said screw it and tried anyways and had an Oct 4th due date. Baby was born Sept 6th and I was out on maternity leave after only 2 weeks with the kiddos. When I came back I was still learning names! But it actually was decent timing because we got to just start over with procedures and then the class was mine for the rest of the year. It wasn't like you got it like you like it then have a sub then have to come back and start over again.

I wish you the best whatever you choose but just know fall babies for teachers aren't as horrible as they sound!

Thanks so much ladies on nights tonight and think I'll pick up clear blue digital on the way home think I'm posa!!! Thanks again xxx

@beth- that's encouraging . hopefully it will be the same for me!

It's so strange to me to be in such an emotional upheaval about getting my period. I'm starting to feel anxious (esp with the watery cm) every time I go to the bathroom!

 

[todmommy4568]

Your chart is looking awesome ripple!

 

[MsRipple]

@pnut, I've also been having a pinching feeling in my pelvic/uterus area. Went from flutters to cramps and now pinching (slowly going away). For me I thought this could be gas, but the pinching I'm not sure about. Pretty much all on my left side but one or two twinges on the right.

 

[MsRipple]

Thanks todsmommy! I think it looked pretty similar to this (maybe a bit more a downward temp trend though) last month, but keeping my fingers crossed. Trying to decide if I should test or if I would feel more emotionally sane if I hold off til AF is due (saturday).

 

[PnutProtector]

Thanks ladies. I'm seriously convinced FF hates me and is therefore holding my Crosshairs hostage.

I almost caved and tested today. But I held out. I'm going to try really really hard to wait until Monday. At least I don't have classes for the next two weeks. I can relax a bit. Finals and papers killed my energy. And I was already feeling super tired all the dang time.

I'm so excited for all the BFPs. Our thread is getting luckier!

 

[Angel5000]

Sapphire Thank you so much for the info!! How long were you out for maternity leave?

I'm wondering if having a due date in July/August, where I don't even start the year with the kids until I come back, would be really horrible or not. I guess I could always go in on the first day at least so the kids KNOW me and then figure everything else out when I come back. As a math teacher I have the added difficulty of never having a sub who can actually teach my curriculum. But that's less of a concern for me than missing that opportunity to get the procedures in place. I never did think about the fact that going in at the beginning, getting it how I like, then leaving, then coming back could be worse. It would be so much better if I had gotten pregnant when we first started trying and had ended up with a due date that just let me miss the last bit of the school year!

 

[MsRipple]

@pnut- let's pay a ransom for those crosshairs! I'll contribute 10 opks!

 

[todmommy4568]

Pnut and ripple I love it!

 

[lvksa]

Hi ladies. I'm still here reading your posts. AF knocked me on my butt...then had visitors last night...and expecting visitors tonight as well. Tiredddd. I don't know how I am going to manage keeping my brain on to communicate in a language I'm no where near fluent in -_-. Wish me luck .

 

[cupcake.]

Congrats on the BFPs in this thread! Definitely getting luckier!

Angel, sorry you're having this dilemma, such a hard decision! you'll make the right one though and if you do decide to pause trying, please stick to this thread

Ah, sorry about AF ivksa

Afm, i decided that this is the month i will get pregnant haha i just will, because i said so! OH and me are off work during what will probably be my fertile period, i feel hopeful that my cycle won't be as wonky this month and we will make sure that we won't miss that egg. I'm super positive about this month

 

[Lawes1987]

Right so, 12dpo, took a test with FMU this morning and got an odd result. The visible strip didn't have a line but underneath the max bit right before the visible bit of the strip started, there was a pink line after I used it. I peeled it back a tiny bit and saw it. I was in a rush to leave for work so I threw it in the bin and decided I'll do another tomorrow morning.

Also, AF is due today, no sign as yet, no crampy or bleeding at all and I had a good internal check.

My Ovia App thinks I've done a full cycle and told me it had be ovulating at CD19, when originally I thought it was CD17 as my fertility score was 10, the highest, that day and I'd had EWCM for a few days. So now I'm think... am I actually 12dpo or 10dpo?

HELP!

 

[todmommy4568]

Ivksa - hopefully you will have a chance to rest soon

Cupcake - the optimism is wonderful!

Lawes - when in doubt go with the earlier DPO, that's what I would do anyways then you aren't going to be at 14dpo thinking you are for sure out when you are really only 12dpo. As far as the test maybe just some dye that didn't move seems like a weird spot to have something. Excited to see the test tomorrow though!

After my apparently 'practice' run with the positive opk last week... I am counting the one from last night at the real deal. Come on egg your the next contestant on let's make a baby!

 

[todmommy4568]

I feel so miserable. I got to work yesterday and on top of my cold I started feeling nauseated so I went home which is very odd for me to feel sick enough to leave work. Today isn't much better but I just have way too many things to get done so I'm going to have to tough it out haha. I was really crampy last night and this morning too and now it is just really dull and almost gone but isn't it way too early to be crampy?? I'm so confused!

Yay jalilma! Get to it!

 

[cscbeth8421]

I have every intention of not testing today, i got up to pee at 430am and did not test. But then i didn't pee again till 830, i was at work and needed something to stare at! so i took a test. LOVELY!

 

[Angel5000]

I finally got decent sleep last night, first time in days, and today's temp is still the same flat temp as the last few days (minus the really early temp from a couple days ago that I've discarded). I checked my past cycles and I don't always drop below the cover line right away on CD1 so I'm assuming it'll drop tonight.

I think we decided we will do NTNP for this cycle. Still temping and tracking CM (simply bc that's second nature now to check cm when going to bathroom ) I want to take a cycle off of vitex and b6 and see if my body has regulated itself now that I've been off BC for 8 months and on vitex for 5 of them. Then we'll start again with the OPKs and everything the next month. If I miss the first month of school then so be it.

I'll def keep hanging around with you guys though as long as the thread is active. Need my daily POAS porn and I want to see how this BFPs progress!

Cscbeth that is gorgeous!!! I love it!!!

Todmommy so sorry you are ill! Could it be early implantation cramping?
