I THINK I em well DID IT!

 

[armymama2012]

I see a faint second line!

 

[AmandaBaby]

Just popping on quickly though I dont have time to reply just spent the whole afternoon cleaning the house and now we're about to go shopping.
Just wanted to quickly say though, Andi and armymama2012 (sorry hun, I can't remember your name! Welcome to the thread too!) I read you both had EWCM about midway through the TWW and just wanted to say i'm pretty sure that's a sign of pregnancy because your cm is supposed to increase and turn back to ewcm if your pregnant. I'm pretty sure it did for me anyway and then increases even more throughout.
And looks like it could be true for Andi too!! I defintely see a second line on your test!!!!!!! I'm pretty sure that looks like the line I had at about 9 DPO with this pregnancy and then when I tested with a FRER it was slightly darker! So so excited for you and can't wait to see some progression!!
love you all and thinking of every single one of you xxxx

hi ladies,

yeah, 6 months! So excited!

I got some braxton hicks yesterday but it wasn't anything major....for sure had way worse in my life but it's hard to say if that's what it was or if it was just really bad trapped gas. Either way I'm fine.

Also, baby got hiccups last night and my whole belly was jumping. Made me smile...it was while I was watching wrestling so I wonder if she'll be a fan too.

Got some diapers from someone off Kijiji A whole pack of newborn, an almost full pack of size 1 and about 15 size 2 for 20 bucks. I thought that was pretty good considering that a full pack of newborn runs you about 15 up here.

Even though I don't know for absolute sure that baby is a girl I bought a little baby bikini at the mall because it was on sale for 5 bucks at Old Navy. It's so adorable. I'll take a picture some time this week to show you guys. we also got this really cute pair of teeny tiny mittens. But so far those are hte only baby purchases we've made. I'm anxious for baby but I'm not going to rush things like I did with Matthew...I want to avoid another c-section at all costs and I'm glad that my doctor is all for it as well. I know a lot of doctors would just tell me to go with a c-section.

Doctor appt in a week. That's when I'll ask him about my weight gain. I mean I do have an extra 100lbs on my body to begin with so I suppose maybe I might be losing fat and gaining baby so it's even-ing out?

Andi & Nicole: I still have EWCM now at 6 months. I saw a line on your second test Andi but had a hard time seeing anything on the first one. If you take an OPK it will turn out positive if you are pg. I still get positive OPK's now (took one for shits and giggles a couple months ago) Here's hoping that it's a real positive and not just your cyst still.

Well done my breakfast so time to do up the dishes and change Matthew's sheets (had a diaper leakage this morning) I really wish he was be interested in potty training....grrr and have to throw my last load of laundry in. Ah the medicore things of staying at home....

Talk to you all later!

 

[AndreaFlorida]

I guess me an DH's journey is over now.....going to stop getting on here so much and focus on what I do already have Thanks ladies for always being there. I'll be checking in n stalking

 

[waiting2012]

Andi--I def think those are some pretty good looking lines for 9-11 dpo...Why so gloomy hun?

Nicole--I hope that you and Andi get super this month! That would be awesome for you both!

Beth--You are pretty close to Andi and Nicole in cycle days, if I remember right--How cool would it be to have the 3 of you get your s around the same time!! I'm soo rooting for you!!

Ashe--31 weeks! Holy Moly! Only 9 more to go...Geesh, time flies! I'm trying to stay positive, as one can be..Its not easy and everything came to a "head" this weekend with the dh...

Tanya and Jenn--keep those baby pics coming--I know its probably not easy venturing here when your LO's are keeping you busy between bottles and diapers...LOL

Brooke--How are you sweetie??

Amanda and Mandy--I think it's awesome that you are almost into the 3rd trimester (or are you there now)..

Not sure what's going to happen when everyone finally has their babies...LOL... Really won't be much sence in coming to the TTC part of this site, huh?? I know Andi, Beth, Brooke, and Nicole are going to get their sticky beans before I do, so I am undecided about what to do when everyone "graduates"...

I'm just an absolute mess right now.. Sorry.. I think the soy helped my cycle somewhat, and wonder now if the provera I was taking up until the 30th July is what made me bleed a little longer... I figure next cycle should begin on August 26th. I had such aweful left side ovary-through the front type pain, figured it was the cyst bothering me and then it occurred to me--that the day it happened was CD 12 (friday).. Dh was so estatic that I was done bleeding after 11 long days, we bd'ed.. saturday was aweful... but the pain was gone.. It was kind of hurting when we bd'ed and I hated telling him to stop because he is not so sensitive to why it hurts etc, and usually my age or weight gets brought into it, but yet he wants me to tell him when it hurts--jerk... anyhow.. I told him.. I cried and cried, and cried, and for the first time I realized like hitting a brick wall--I am married to the most insensitive man on the earth. I told him how I feel, and got told I need to get counseling. That I'm letting my feelings of being "broken" get in the way of our sex life...Maybe I have--I could give up sex all together and live a life of celibacy if need be to be honest--what is the point afterall...??? So sunday came, and all day I heard him quip--"Broke", you need something to drink, etc... I finally got so f'ing fed up with him while I was in the shower and he was shaving and kept saying it--I told him he needed to find someone else to be with. I obviously wasn't the person he was meant to have more children with, that he can find someone who was younger and willing to put up with his shit, because in my opinion I didn't understand why we were together. He thinks I'm going through some empty nest syndrome--I let him know you don't try for 10-11 years to have a baby because your oldest is going to graduate.. Well, we went to church, and had our service officiated by a couple that the church sponsors (they are missionaries who have been living in Africa), and I realized--I have so much pent up fustration, anger, guilt, sorrow, etc.. That I haven't accepted what God has already done for me, and is doing for me.. Do I feel anyless broken? No. But I do feel like I've got some control back.. I can actually allow my husband to enjoy what he thinks is so important, and I realize he loves me, and he just doesn't get it--he's a man, they never do. So needless to say--friday, saturday and sunday--we bd'ed--I'm sure nothing will come of it, but it was kind of nice the last time to be just kind of carefree with it, and that moment was the first in a long time that during and after--I didn't feel broken, but felt like a woman who was just loving her husband and be loved by her husband. SOOO...That was my long ardious weekend...Hope everyone's monday is going better! : )
Lots of Love and hugs to everyone!

 

[AndreaFlorida]

Because today an yesterday and tons of cramping I'm in my normal before AF mood of CLEANING...so shes coming tomorrow I'm sure FML

 

[waiting2012]

Oh, Andi... I have hope for you hun! I am sure tomorrow will 0e better for you...

Sorry about typos, stupid phone...lol

 

[bnporter81]

Andi, I hope AF doesn't showFX'd for you, hon.

Steph, sorry you had such a rough weekend. Sounds like things are a little bit better for you nowI won't even go into how things have been with my DH at times. Like you said, I swear he is the most insensitive man on the planet at times. Seems like when I'm already down or upset, he has to go and say things knowing they will hurt me and it just makes everything worse. Of course, after it's all over I get "Oh, you know I say things I don't mean when I'm mad....you need to learn to just blow it off". I feel like I shouldn't have to always "blow things off". He should just learn to control what comes out of his mouth.

Tanya and Jenn, hope you girls are doing good and the babies are doing great as wellCan't wait to see more pics of them

Mandy, I know what you mean about the potty training...my oldest boy just turned 3 and he's finally doing better at potty training. He'll use the toilet to pee several times a day but I usually have to make him go in there and sit and try to go. Sometimes he does it on his own and he's been doing it more since I've been offering him a little snack like an animal cracker or something when he does pee on the toilet. My youngest who just turned 2 sees him go in there and he'll take off his diaper and sit on the toilet and "try" to push poop out. Hopefully it will help watching older brother and it won't be as hard to potty train him

Hope everyone has a great day....hugs

 

[armymama2012]

Well testing tomorrow but took an OPK this morning for kicks and it's positive.

 

[waiting2012]

Nicole! That is awesome! **I hope that it is** I've heard that positive opks before AF shows can mean pregnancy! I hope it is for you hun!! Can't wait to find out how the morning's testing goes! What DPO are you on again? I try figuring it out by your ticker, but one of your early posts didn't really match what the ticker was saying....I'm an airhead sometimes, but I'm super stoked for you hun!

Beth--BIG HUGS! ... I truely think married men need to taking classes--there are ought to be the class for husbands with TTC wives...It seems that most of the time--it is US who do most of the TTC--they just enjoy the ride while it lasts..I read online about supplements for men to help with their fertility and when I mention them to Jason I get told--"I have 2 kids, my sperm are fine"... Ummm...Its like hit him with a frying pan to remind him that HIS 2 kids are 11 and 13--when I mention that some of my m/c's could be because his sperm are perhaps messed up, I get told how HIS 2 kids are just fine.. .. I love this one too... "I'm only 35. YOUR the one going on 40"... .. I guess if we had the money to go to a fertility specialist, they would check out the dh, as I bet that's procedure--but my ob/gyn can only suggest it, and I know he won't go..Oh well..Damned if I do, Damned if I don't.. We'll just keep chugging along... : )

Andi--I read that on FB you were needing something to take for your cold--lets see--salad is now a favorite food, cold symptoms, etc... I still bet your eggo is knocked up...So it's early and your tests aren't blaring--girl--Don't take Nyquil till you know 100% sure there isn't a bean in there! Tylenol cold is good to take--just not anything with alcohol in it.. Or being simple and use benedryl if your nose is giving you problems.. I love ya hun, and hope this is your month!

 

[armymama2012]

I am 10 DPO today. Yeah I O'd two weeks early!

 

[AndreaFlorida]

AF is on her way just wont be for a few days still. I feel awful an if I were pregnant I wouldn't be testing BFN's at 12dpo oh well...I'm okay with it it hasn't worked in YEARS why would this cycle make a difference. I know I'm not horrid headache an gonna take the NyQuil I'm too sick to not do something strong or I'll not sleep plus EVEN if pregnant this early it wouldn't matter b/c the umbilical cord isn't attached til around 5 weeks along!

 

[armymama2012]

Took a test and BFN. Will test with FMU tomorrow after that I will BD and wait.

 

[waiting2012]

Awe Andi...I'm sorry hun... But if its all the same to you, I will keep on praying for ya to get that surprise !!!

Nicole--I would def keep the bd'ing up! Sometimes a woman can begin to O' then not then def O' later than usual...Praying for you too hun!!

I want to see more s on here!!!

Going to head home..Its storming bad in Bowie, but I got to get home...UGH...LOL

 

[waiting2012]

Looks like little ole' me here...LOL... Hope everyone is having a great Wednesday aka HUMP DAY!! I've got choir tonite--yay! Not sure how I'll do it though... My nose goes from runny to stuffy and then I woke up the last two mornings with a sore throat, and last night I tossed and turned, I was hot even though it was in the low 70's outside, raining and the A/C was on..I was to lazy to turn the fan on to.. And I just got back from dealing with Metro PCS about Jason's replacement phone--seems to be working now.. And probably from walking to the building into the a/c here compared to the a/c in the truck--I just feel overwhelming HOT! Kind of like how I feel when I'm taking my provera.. I am figuring I O'ed saturday--or the cyst was just overacting to all the extended days of bleeding one or the other friday afternoon and that night.. Just a few mild cramps here and there but nothing to serious--We haven't bd'ed the last 2 nights--they've just been well "rough".. So that's me for today... Headache, backache, flushed and hot--and well just "beat"..

Hope everyone is doing good! Can't wait for updates ladies!!

 

[armymama2012]

I guess I actually didn't ovulate with that first +Opk but maybe now I will. I hate long cycles!

 

[TandA08]

Hey ladies just a quick hello while Emma is nursing. Sorry I have been so terrible about keeping updated with everyone - Emma and I are doing great, but very busy as a new momma!

I'll try and reply properly soon and post some pics!

 

[AndreaFlorida]

WOULD LOVE to see some pics

 

[bnporter81]

Hi girls...nothing new with me. Still no ovulation or AFI tried calling my doctor to see if he could call in a prescription of Provera or something for me since this cycle has been so long and the nurse said he can't because he hasn't seen me in a while. And I also can't get in for an appt. for a while because they're so busy. So I'm on my own, I guess.

Hope all of you are doing well. Andi, did AF show up for you? FX'd it doesn't

Nicole, I hope your next test gives you your BFP. Good luck

Steph, I agree about the men. When we first started TTC I tried giving my DH 3 or 4 vitamins to take and it lasted a while and then all he did was complain about taking them. Either something gave him heartburn or left a fishy taste in his mouth, or there was another problem with it. I just gave up giving him anything. I feel like I'm on my own TTC about 99% of the time. I feel like if it was up to him we'd just be NTNP. I guess he doesn't see the difference, but to me there's a BIG difference.

Tanya and Jenn, hope the babies are doing well and I can't wait for pics

Mandy, Amanda and Ashe, I know it won't be long for you girls...wow, there's going to be babies, babies, and more babies!

Hugs everyone!
