Six fertility friends -TTC #1 to BFP

[stellaluna431]

So FF finally decided to agree with me & put my crosshairs on CD33 just as I expected. Still testing on 9DPO though because I put a little star on my calendar, and since it's been written out and can't be undone I must test on Saturday. It'll likely be BFN, but I'll still post it here for opinions I'm sure

Ill be waiting patiently for you to join my poas party lol

Posting for anyone who might be interested.. This was my free julep box.. Just had to pay 3.30 for shipping. Waited til they sent me tracking info, then emailed to cancel my subscription. Ordered another in hubbys name, hasnt arrived yet though. Ask me if you have any qiestions if you are interested

 

[stellaluna431]

Definitely confirm to make sure they cancelled you. I got one awhile back (I do SwagBucks, and it got me a bunch of Swagbucks and the box) and thought I'd unsubscribed... then got another one the next month & they wouldn't refund me. So definitely double check!

They sent me a confirm cancel email for both!

I subscribe to ipsy too, thats the one I actually keep and i love it. Sucks being in canada and having to pay shipping, much cheaper for the states

Hey ladies. Sorry for being MIA.

I tested again today (9DPO) and I still have that hideous faint line. I'm terrified for a chemical. I go into my Doc's tomorrow and if I ask, he will do a blood HCG for me. I have a 12 day LP, so 2 days before AF should show some level of HCG. I don't know, ladies. I feel like this is my cycle. I've never felt so sure about anything in my life before. I just know. I know that has to sound completely absurd to everybody...but after 18+ cycles, two BFP's, two MC's, and a broken heart, I think God has my back on this one. My heart, body, soul and mind are all telling me that I have a baby in my belly. I just hope and pray that my body, heart, soul and mind are all right.

Then ask and get tested girl. Fx

Guys I am trying SO HARD not to symptom spot, but I can't help it. I know it's useless, but I'm just noticing stuff and really not trying to. I hope it's just because all of me is excited that I'm finally in my first TWW and I just wanna be hopeful, but I honestly can't even make the symptoms up because I don't even know what the symptoms should be! When people symptom spot in threads, I just skip that part because I always thought it was pointless to symptom spot. Now I understand that it's almost involuntary! I'm hoping that if I don't get a BFP this cycle, I won't notice as much next cycle. I really don't want to be a "symptom spotter" because I just feel like it's setting myself up for disappointment.

Jill, I'm trying to take your advice and pretend they're AF symptoms but I think that's making my anxiety worse. Like, I'm actually convincing myself that AF is coming... and then freaking myself out because if that's the case I have a luteal phase defect hahaha. I need to go on vacation or something to distract myself!

 

[DandJ]

I rarely paint my nails and if I do, I go to a manicurist because I have no eye coordination and shaky hands without screwing up but thanks for the offer Brooke!

@Gohan; I really hope it's your cycle especially after all that you've been through... it's your time Fx for you

@Sophia; I was like that my first cycle too... trying to convince myself they were AF symptoms but it was the "What if...?" going through my head constantly. So I POAS like 5 times but still BFN. That is why this 2WW, I'm going to wait to test later and not symptom spot. In your case, I hope the first time's the charm! Fx!!

 

[KBCupcake]

Aw Gohan I hope this is it for you

Nothing much to report today. I've begun to suspect I might be pregnant because I've had a sudden increase in headaches which is usual during pregnancy for me. I've had a headache 3 days straight. I got quite a few in the short time I was pregnant in June. That ended in a CP :/

I'll probably test in 4 days since that's when I got a faint positive last time. Hoping for the best, and that there's at least a good reason behind these headaches... I've almost missed work once so far.

Hope everyone's having a wonderful Wednesday

You are totally right. Symptom spotting just happens. I think it in my head all of the time but then basically saying to myself. 'Stop being an idiot you know better' lol i usually know when to call it quits and know it is af because I religiously start spotting two days before af shows in full force

Aw Gohan I hope this is it for you

I get headaches on the regular and they have actually gotten worse since going off bcp. Specifically the week to our days before af starts i can barely handle them.
Im hoping im one of tjose lucky ones whose hormones change so much after pregnancy that i dont get them anymore. Hey, i can dream cant i? Lol



Gohan, keep us updated. Keeping fx for you as well. I hope everyones instincts are right this cycle.

Anyone heard from mint? Wonder where she wandered off too.. Positive thoughts your way too girl!

 

[DandJ]

Fx for you Amanda that you get a BFP!

Mint is around, I've seen her post on some threads

 

[Mintastic]

Sorry! I am here! I am in too many threads I think and it has been a super busy week. I got a few pages behind on all of them and got overwhelmed. Will catch up on everybody after work tonight.

 

[stellaluna431]

Just posting so no one thinks I've died. I'm taking a BnB break for the next couple days because I just feel like crap. Headaches, chills, sore throat... I feel like death. I work in a preschool, so I feel like I'm sick more often than not! Anyway, I got out early today because I apparently look the way I feel (like shit, hahah) and I'm gonna go nap.

Testing on Saturday even if I have to drag myself out of bed to do so. Will update you guys then! Love you all

 

[DandJ]

Oh noes! Feel better and you must get on BnB when you test regardless!! *sends you lots of get well dust*

Feel better stella. Dont be poas without keeping us up to date lol

 

[Gohan3117]

Hey ladies. I'm only a part of two threads on here, but I'm also trying to keep up with another forum I go on. Sorry about the sporadic posts.

Stella - I hope you feel better, dear!

Amanda - I hope your instincts are right! I hope this is our month!

Mint - I've been MIA too! Life just gets so busy!

AFM...13DPO today, meaning that AF is officially late, with no signs of her. I almost never go past 12DPO in my LP. If anything, it'll be shorter. But I'm still having a truckload of symptoms, which I will update with shortly. Also, my Doc is in Canada on a missions trip, so I wasn't able to get tested. IC's are still being a pain. But I still have hope. These are the symptoms I am currently experiencing:

Crazy gas
Dull cramps
Pimply type things on inner thighs, tummy, and behind
Crazy acne
Loss of balance/vertigo-like
Emotional/snappy/weepy
Tons of Creamy CM
Hard, itchy, tender breasts
Seemingly darkening nipples
Hypersensitive gag reflex
Decreased appetite(except at night...always hungry!)
Indigestion
Nausea

Anyway, just wanted to update!

 

[DandJ]

Sounds like a good sign Gohan! Fx for you!

Do you guys see a second line? I'm only 8DPO and it was taken at 2:30pm so definitely a squinter.... I just had a nagging feeling and decided to test. Will test again tomorrow morning with FMU. Cautiously excited...
