Sticking Together Until We All Get BFP's!!!!

[Megamegan]

No, I tried that same dress on at David's bridal, and I loved it, but I wanted my mom to make my wedding dress (she wanted to as well). So we took a ton of pictures of the dress and she made a patten and made the dress. Of course there were a few modifications because I didn't like the boning going through the top, and different lace appliqués, but it's pretty similar

Oh! Lol. That's so awesome that she made your dress! It looks awesome! I loved the boning in the top, that and the back were my favorite features of the dress. I also got that dress when it was the last one in the store and I got a sweet deal on it. haha.

So I got my new thermometer today so ill see tomorrow if I just have flat temps or if my thermometer was just starting to mess up. I'm already almost certain FF will have my O date wrong but I'm going to wait until the end of this cycle to override it making it so I have a 13 day LP. I'm almost positive I'm 2-3dpo. Even tho I'm not really even paying attention to O, I like to still come on here and get kind of excited about it lol. I prob sound weird but it helps me deal with this all . Who knows maybe in wrong and ill get a super big spike tomorrow. I'm going to try and BD tonight. I'm sooo stressed and need to! Plus I like knowing there's a small possibility . Good luck ladies!

Oh and btw, I LOVE ur dresses they're beautiful. My fiance and I aren't actually even married yet...i told u guys a LONG time ago but I still call him my hubby because he will be, we're just waiting for a good time to plan a wedding. There's alot of diff things going on with all my family and friends and we have alot going on so we may go to the town hall soon but we plan to have the actual ceremony & reception in a year or two when things aren't so crazy. I want my mom to be apart of the planning and she has WAY too much going on :-\ but we're okay with that. We know we will still be together & happy by then and there's no big rush Ive never met anyone like him. Anyways...lol...i realized today that I have horrible constant post nasal drips and I constantly have to clear my throat but more so at night and I feel like I keep poor dh up and it keeps me up and aiden up. Ive had it on and off almost as long as I can remember but it always went away and now it hasn't in months so I did research today and I'm almost positive that's what it is. If any of u suffer from this and have suggestions, please share! This drives me nuts! And even when I take mucus relief for 6 days before O it doesn't help! Its so irritating and I will try pretty much anything to make it at least better! Ugh.

Other then that, things are pretty good today. Dh and I are just relaxing, it feels good

And, as for staying on the antidepressants during pregnancy, I'm not sure. I know it is low/unknown risk but I also did see a couple studies where the baby had some kind of defect... it was a long time ago that I read the study so I don't remember. But I don't know. I will cross that bridge when I get there. I don't have many actual anxiety attacks, but I have pretty persistent anxiety, including heart palpitations and just that sinking feeling in your chest, every single day. I develop fears and concerns and things that bother me, and I get very upset when things don't go as expected or if something changes (can be very minor like if my lunch order is messed up or if a car does something stupid on the road, it will make me extremely irritable or sometimes ruin my entire day). I hate it. I hate being like that. I'm fearful of the tiniest things and my anxiety can be debilitating when it forces me to stay safely in my bed instead of going out and enjoying small risks in life (such as driving somewhere, being on my feet for more than an hour somewhere, anything that will make me uncomfortable, because it feels like I'm losing control and my world is caving in on me). Anyway. This causes major issues in my relationship because I'm with a spontaneous risk taker. What was I thinking? Lol! I probably was thinking it would be good for me, subconsciously.

Off to dinner with DH and our friends who have a one year old. Ciao, baby-makers.

Pretty sure I o'd right in the middle of the razor aisle at Target. Hurt so badly that I had to sit down. At home now with a heating pad. Have fun at dinner!

your anxiety is almost EXACTLY like mine. Sometimes I go into an anxiety attach because I feel like I can't breath from that elephant sitting on ur chest feeling I get. I get the heart palpitations and short breath and all that on a daily basis. It stinks but its gotten better since I was younger. We are very much alike Megan.
And I hope ur dinner plans go good!!!


Jrepp, I had that same feeling walking into rite aid today. Idk tho because I really think I already oed. Maybe it was gas but it was def a sharp pain where my left ovary is and I'm having alot of CM but its also creamy like it gets after O. I guess only AF will truly tell this cycle with my wacky temp job for the first half of my cycle lol. O well . I still can't believe u were almost apart of a robbery!!! That's so insane!!

 

[Jrepp]

I wouldn't have thought anything of it, except if you take the bleeding I had post op, and count that as CD 1 when it got really really heavy, I am about CD 20 which is right on time. Who knows! I threw temping out the window until I am off the pill. Perhaps I should restart tomorrow since it will be pill pack day 1

 

[SweetMelodies]

SweetMelodies, how are you doing? I still chart stalk you every day but see you haven't posted in a while! Your bd schedule looks great, FX for you!

I'm on here everyday reading about what is going on with everyone, I just really haven't had too much to post about. I've been trying to relax a bit this cycle, temping but not really charting other symptoms. I also think thats another reason I'm posting less. Not really focusing on myself just following what is happening with everyone else. Even if I'm not posting a lot I just want to let you all know that you are in my thoughts daily, and if you ever want to talk to me you can post and I'll see it lol.

Well I did find out one thing recently it looks like if I get pregnant this year ill be drinking virgin margaritas in Mexico in November!(and if I'm not pregnant well then lets make them doubles lol) My Dh's parents told us they are taking us for 2 weeks! I'm really excited about that. Something nice to occupy my mind aswell.

that's so exciting about Mexico! Lucky!! And I'm doing the same thing this cycle...temping but nothing else really. I like chatting so I still have to talk about it tho lol. I cant help it . Its good to know ur still secretly here with is tho! I've been wondering about u .

And jrepp, I've been like that too..
ill just randomly say "hmm maybe I'm oing today" as we're out doing stuff because of things I feel that I cant help but notice. If it weren't for O pains, id really have no clue what's going on with my body right now lol. And I think itd be good for u to start temping again soon anyways. If u temp for at least 1-2 cycles before you start trying again, it'll help u re-catch up on ur cycles and O date and then u wont have to play the guessing game (incase ur cycle changes a little bit). I'm very excited for u to start trying again. I know ull be making an announcement shortly after . Ive had a good feeling about u since I first met u on here. FX!

 

[aidensmommy1]

Well I got to BD tonight, well I should say just had fun lol. I'm surprised FF hasn't given me CH's yet because I usually have a small/slow rise any how and SO FAR it looks like a small temp shift to me but it may just need a day to interpret it. It did last cycle as well. Hopefully my new thermometer will give me a higher temp tomorrow idk why I keep going on about O today...i honestly dont care right now because I know my odds and that's ok with me right now but its bugging me for some reason that FF hasn't said I oed lol. I guess I very well could be wrong since I haven't been paying much attention to everything else. I'm just so used to being right about my o date even before seeing a temp shift first so it feels weird lol. I think I'm just bored and need something to write about other then my issues! I need to be able to start writing happier posts again!!! Well I'm going to bed. Good night ladies!

[Jennuuh]

Thanks for keeping us up to date about Amy!

I must of missed the dress pictures, but I bet they were beautiful like everyone said they were!!

 

[ab75]

Hope Amy feels better soon xx

 

[mdscpa]

We're here for you Amy. Get well soon!!!!!

 

[mdscpa]

After entering today's temp i finally saw CH's however its not a solid lines maybe because i'm missing few temps earlier in my cycle. Anyways, i'm satisfied with it. Hopefully temps stay elevated. FX

 

[Jrepp]

I think it's because of the open circle 2 dpo. If it was solid I bet you would have a solid crosshair. Good luck!

I tried changing the time when i actually took my temp and it became a dark circle. However it didn't make any changes with the CH. So my guess is the few missing temps before. I did use ovufriend charting though gave me the same date of ovulation but a solid line of CHs. Hopefully FF will make it solid after entering future temps.

Well i found out that my old thermometer IS suddenly stuck on 97.69-97.72 and that's pretty much it. I took my temp with my new one first this a.m and it was 97.85 and then without moving or anything i took my temp with my old one and it said 97.69 of course. I decided id at least discard CD13 temp because i under slept a little plus my thermometer was already stuck by that time I'm thinking...anyways, FF gave me CH's because of me discarding that temp but its exactly where i would have put the c/h's if i could have guessed. At least i bd'ed that night so i have some shot
Do that puts me at 4dpo . I may still have to change it when AF shows because of that thermometer but we'll see when that time comes if my LP shows as longer than usual...ill know a 16 day LP isn't right lol.

I have been having those post nasal drips forever and now this a.m i have a cold, sore throat. Ugh. It looks like I got my first real cold of the year. I wonder if its because i stopped taking my prenatals. I ran out of them so i just haven't been taking them most of this cycle and i hadn't been sick once while taking them. I'm going to buy a new bottle ASAP! My throats driving me nuts! I'm going to curl up with a box of tissues and some cold medicine and just relax today before the week starts...i need it!

good luck to anyone waiting to test! Baby dust to all!

it still looks like they put ur O date exactly where I would have put it. They may try switching it up on u tomorrow making u 3dpo again tomorrow (I know that sucks) but u could still really be 4dpo still. I'm pretty certain they will switch it on u and the line are dotted because FF is still thinking and trying to analyze it for u. After one more temp it'll give u new c/h's with a solid line. FF and other charting apps aren't always spot on but once u know how long ur usual LP is, u can use that to help u pin point ur usual O day. Hopefully ull get ur bfp before a bunch of temping cycles but just incase, ur LP length is a good tool to help for future cycles. Good luck hun! It looks like we are both 3dpo (or abouts 3dpo) today

At least you got a new one early on. Guess we're on the same race this cycle have no idea yet how long my LP would be since this is my first temping. I read in various forums that average LP could be from 12-16 days. So i'm putting myself to 16days before i start testing.. Now all i have to do is wait if i'm one of the lucky girls who will have an implantation dip then another rise on temps. Charting is so exciting i think

Baby everyone.

Baby everyone.

that's the perfect way to think of ur LP ur first cycle charting so u dont get ur hopes up until u know how long ur LP should be. I'm very happy u like charting and aren't regretting listening to me about doing it lol. I love temping too. Even tho I'm barely even trying right now, I just cant give up temping lol. I just love being able to see what my bodies doing
