I can't sleep WTH is going on????

Me neither! Woke up choking on stomach acid and had to cruise the Internet to distract myself from the burning in my lungs So much for no heartburn. I think for all my big "stay in there as long as possible" talk, my resolve is going to weaken now that I've officially hit (as of 1 hour ago) the 37 week mark!

Mischief, I seem to test positive at 11 dpo, but not everyone does that early, so I'll continue hoping for you over the next few days. But I also wanted to say that when I used ICs (Wondfo brand) my first positive at 11 dpo was so super barely visible faint. I also tested with an FRER so I knew it was an actual positive, but if I'd only tested with the IC I would have been bashing my head against the wall trying to decide if it was positive or not. The next day was ever so slightly darker, but those ICs can be really faint in the very beginning. So...curious to see what morning brings for you. If it was implantation bleeding, might have to wait til Tuesday for a real answer tho anyway.

Excited for an update from FutureMom too!! Is the future now?! (Sorry, I'm a nerd hehe)

 

[Mischief]

It has now been a full week since the hcg booster, and the line has faded out to a just barely there squinter on an IC, but it's still there!

Last time (without the hcg shot 5 dpo) I had a very very very faint positive (like today's) on an IC at 13 dpo. I feel like there's still hope for me... maybe...?

So now I clearly understand why my doc said NOT to test until 15 dpo. I should have listened because this is driving me nuts!

Sis-Are you worried about something or are people/dogs in your house keeping you awake? How is your niece doing, btw? Maybe you can take a nap out by the pool today. So jealous.

ttcinseattle-I laughed about your resolve weakening. You can do this for two more weeks. Honestly, I don't like those ICs at all. When I took the trigger for IUI, my test was positive twice, and all the rest were negative. But, you know I'm not a good squinter, so if I didn't see it outright, it wasn't there as far as I'm concerned. And, I'm not wasting those FRERs because I'm cheap. When I do get prego, I'm seriously mailing my ICs to someone who is an addict because I'll have plenty to pass on and I don't want them.

Mischief-It's driving me nuts too! HA!!HA!! I hope the line starts getting darker tomorrow or later this afternoon. I love looking for your little cat avatar because I'm excited to read your updates.

Momof3-I'd just cross the IVF bridge when you get to it. No sense thinking about it now, unless you have to start saving for it. It's not cheap, as I'm sure you're well aware. I think that IUI would be the farthest you need to go. My hubs is such a goof.

Terri....it was just my two kids with me this time. They really got a kick out of it too. Lol. I'll have to post pictures from that session.

Mischief..I would say there is still hope, FXFXFXFXFX for you

TTC....sorry about the burning/heartburn but before you know it you'll be up for a whole different reason. Does Tums help you at all?

Smiles - So happy to hear that you're doing well. I'm sorry about your niece's anniversary but you're right - she's up there watching over all of you for sure. And thanks for the offers to throat punch people.

Kayotic - Great to hear from you! Glad things are going well.

Terri - Haha. I can't blame your husband for being nervous about the injections. Glad to hear that he's prepping himself so he's ready for the next round. You like temping, huh? Ugh. I'm sooooooo sick of it.

Sis - You poor thing. Are you up just thinking about stuff at night? That's been happening a lot to me lately, too.

Mischief - Aww man! Can't imagine how you're feeling. How long does it typically take for the trigger to be out of your system? I would think it should be out of there by now?!?!?!

Future Mom - Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaahooooooooooooooooo! Congratulations!!

Sooooo, my temp plummeted this morning and my crosshairs understandably vanished. Whhhhhhhat on earth? Thoughts? Yet another semen drop-off this morning - this time at my DHs urologists request. I swear, all I do is drive around with cups of semen these days.

[Wish4another1]

Futuremom - YAY!!! Congrats!!! lets see some line porn!!!

kfs - this freaking temp taking!!! it does drive me crazy but I decided after not knowing last month what day I ovulated on - I am just too anal to not take my temp... so I must deal with it - but I am sorry your temps are wonky...not really fair when doing IUI - why can't our bodies PLAY ALONG??? twinnie... I am HOH no matter what your chart says - this is your month!!! (screw that doctor - I would like to hear what she would've said if your DH was in the room since she goes all socialite when he is there!! )

Mischief - HOH for you too lady!!! I hope your line starts getting darker and darker and we can have one more BFP before July sneaks away!!!

Terri - love hearing about your injection drama - lets hope the hubby hangs in there...although I see no issue with you injecting yourself - nothing that a mirror can't see you through I am so dang excited about your upcoming ER... I just know you are getting a BFP in August!!

Erose - you too lady - BFP for you in August and you and Terri can be bump buddies!!! I love your attitude it is refreshing...

Driving - I CAN NOT believe you are 14 weeks already...2nd tri already - feeling any movement yet??

Vjean - LOVE LOVE your avatar!!! your little girl is so sweet and I just know your little man is going to be so dapper.... you are such a classy dresser of your kids... my kids have plenty to say about how I dressed them!!! and it isn't CLASSY!!!

Kayotic - again 18 weeks??? what the heck - where did the time go??? and your are ready for baby???? holy smoly I am impressed... congrats lady!!! can't wait to watch those weeks continue to climb!!!

Smiles - 33 weeks YAY!!! Your little surprise will be here in no time at all!!! How exciting!!! I bet your kids love that ultrasound - I would love to take my girls if I ever get that chance!!!

TTC- girl you are next up on the baby train!!! I cannot wait to see you little one!!! how exciting... hang on - baby will be here and you will wonder what happened lol!!!

Sis - sorry about the no sleeping - that was me too last night... I hope you can catch a nappie or something today that will refresh you!! I hope that high temps will be an indicator of yet another BFP for us!!! a girlie one for you of course!!


Momof3 - good luck with your natural cycle this month - you just never know when those two lines will appear!!! HOH for you too dear!!

well I know I probably missed a few - but I am not meaning too... to anyone I missed...

AFM - Cd3 - started my Soy last night - and man it works on the CM... ridiculous since AF is still here... my DH is still taking his vitamins... I am back to taking my temp because the anal side of me just has to know my ovulation day... I spotted 5 days before AF this last cycle seriously I have to figure out a way to stop that... so trying B vitamins/vitex after O...

Happy Monday all...

PS I started the August testing thread its my virgin testing thread
I am hoping I can do it justice!!! and we get lots of BFP's!!!

 

[ttcinseattle]

Yay FutureMom!!! Congratulations!!!

 

[terripeachy]

Driving/Mischief-You guys crack me up when you say that I made/make you laugh. I always have to go back and reread it like 'huh? What was funny?' HA!!HA!! I guess if you knew my hubs and how cute he is, you would really be laughing, so I just try to reenact what he's doing.

Wish-Can't wait to go check out your testing thread. I'm happy I'll actually have a date this month.

 

[Sis4Us]

Yay Future Mom what a way to start the Week!!!!

 

[Radkat]

Terri - I would've been annoyed. I do think it's a case of her being unorganized instead of malicious, but that's still annoying. Good that you took the high road and sent a gift anyway. Glad you enjoyed your other party. Hooray for hubs making it through the injection (and you). I'm sure he'll become a pro. My brother, who hates all things medical, is giving my SIL weekly progesterone shots. They're like a comedy team talking about it.

Seattle - I love the name Lillian. So pretty. Hope things are going well with you.

Sis - Boo to no sleep. I vote for a nap by the pool as well. Oh and strawberry cake sounds delicious!

ERose - Thanks for checking in with us. I know you have several threads and it's not fun to report bad news multiple times. It really sounds like you are prepared for your next IVF which I'm sure will be better news. Hang in there, sweetie.

Kfs - Glad you escaped the baby talk at your party.

Driving - Your day sounds fantastic! It's amazing how a day like that is such a luxury! Re: weight during pregnancy... 25.2 BMI is BARELY overweight. While I think exercising is good no matter what, I think you also have to listen to your body and sometimes it just needs rest. Hope your day was great.

Hi Kayotic - Glad things are going well.

Mischief - Sorry about the mysterious faint line. I got a BFN on 12DPO and BFP on 14DPO so sometimes it just comes later. Hang in there.

FutureMom - YAAAAAAY!

Wish - You're back on the full time TTC train! Woot woot! Good for you and DH!

Hi to Smiles, Momof3, Nessaw, Fezzle, Blues and all the others I missed.

AFM - My visit with my parents went well. My mom either didn't suspect or was super crafty about it. We were talking about going to brunch at this place nearby and she said "Oh yeah, I remember we went there when you were pregnant but not talking about it yet." I said why do you remember that? Mom - I don't know. I just remember that trip that you weren't drinking wine, said you had a UTI and didn't get in the hot tub. So I was tricky and took the glass of wine and put it up to my mouth a couple of times. Yesterday, she asked me if we had talked about having another. I said yeah, we don't want LO to be an only child and diverted the conversation to the benefit of siblings. So we'll see in 2 weeks if she says she knew. Other news, I should get my test results back today. Trisomy issues and we're finding out gender. DH is nervous. The mc made him leery of trisomy stuff. Anyway, I'll report back once I know.

 

[Sis4Us]

Patiently Impatiently waiting for your results Radkat!!

Oh and the cake must have been Super Yummy cuz I only had 2 slices left and we ate them for Breakfast my Neice came all the way over at 9am for cake!!
