Support thread for all the atheist,agnostic,non-religious and secular humanist TTCers

*waves* how awesome to finally see a group like this one! Ive been on this forum for years and I am loving seeing this.
Im day 13 or 14 of an irregular cycle. usually around 29-31 days but not always. According to my ultrasound this week i dont have enough time to ovulate and have implantation this month and probably wont ovulate at all. my follicles were still too tiny to see. :(
as soon as my next period comes i will start clomid, be monitored through the cycle, and have a trigger shot when my eggs are good and ready to go. we are doing timed intercourse for now. hopefully we get lucky next cycle.

Welcome Mrs. Marbey!!! :happydance:
 
So how has everyone need the past few days? My dh and I caught some weird virus and stayed home coughing today. Hoping to sleep it off for tomorrow.
 
i spent yesterday at the firing range preparing for combat spouses day...my shoulder is KILLING me from firing off the sniper rifle. Im counting the days to AF so that we can get going on this cycle.

sorry about the virus :( nothing sucks more than a sick weekend in :(
 
Hi friends, I've tried twice to post a comment using my phone and accidentally touched a link and had my comment erased. Now I'm at my computer and I want to say...congrats, Stephanie!!!!! I'm so happy to hear your good news. :)

I'm also excited to be ttc again after two months of being on hold. Woot! AF is creeping around today and will probably be full force tomorrow. My temp looked pretty good last month, so I'm thinking it will be a good month. :)

I remember when I used to hate when my cycle started on a weekend. Now I don't even care, it's just something that needs to happen so I can ttc again.

tsyhanochka - hope you're better and the virus didn't interfere with ttc this month.

Wishing you all the best!
 
Hi Ladies: I wanted to let you know I got my BFP last weekend. It's still early but we're really excited and thinking very positive. Good luck to everyone! :dust:
 
Hi All,

I'm easing my way back into TTC after an early m/c. :sadangel: Haven't checked on this thread in a while, and it looks like I've missed a lot!

Stephanie, congratulations! Hope that it sticks and that you have a h&h 9!

Vietmamsie - it LOOKS like you had an early m/c / chemical, too? Is that right? I'm so sorry to hear. Believe me when I say that I know what you're going through. It's positively THE WORST. Way, way worser than I had thought it would be emotionally and physically. I'm here for you if you have questions or want any kind of support.

Ashley - good to see you back again! Hopefully your break did good things for you. Good luck and :dust: for this next cycle!

:hi: Hello to the new folks, kater and Mrs. Mabrey . Hopefully your stays here will be short! And I love the idea of a TTC mom-to-be at the shooting range! :gun:

Tsyh hope you're feeling better!

AFM, my body is still in Confused Limbo. Hoping that it ends soon so that we can start trying again. Docs said no reason to wait, so FX!

:dust: to all....
 
Yeah, not even 24 hours after I wrote my BFP message I miscarried. I was only 5 weeks along, I can't imagine what it would be like to loose the baby later in pregnancy. I am wrecked and devastated, not to mention in a lot of pain (the medication they gave me to push the remaining placenta bits out is some serious stuff - cramps, hot flashes and a strange itch all over). Plus how the whole ordeal was pretty traumatic.

I can't help but feel like we did something wrong, but I know there was something wrong with the baby and it just wasn't meant to be. The one upside was getting an ultra sound that showed a very healthy uterus and ovaries, the doctors didn't seem to think we should have any trouble conceiving again. While we wait out a cycle of not trying, my husband is going to get a SA done to see if anything else is going on.
 
Ugh. What a let down. I'm so sorry, vietmamsie! It could be a good thing that you did the drugs, as I'm STILL waiting for the whole process to end. :grr:

FX for your SA!

And :hugs:.
 
Congrats Mrs Smartie and StefanieC! H&H 9 months to you.

So sorry pbl_ge, Chevcwgirl and Vietmamsie :( I hope you're all doing ok.

Sorry if I have missed anyone...I've just skimmed about 10 pages. I've been away for a while from the forum in an attempt to stop thinking about ttc. It sorta worked but not really that well! Waiting a week for AF to come then one more cycle for me before doc will refer me to fertility specialist. Hope you're all doing well and I'm looking forward to seeing some more bfp's on this thread :)
 
I'm so sorry to hear that, vietmamsie. :hugs:

Im new to this thread and just wanted to thank the OP and all the PPs that have kept it going. It's a wonderful forum.

My husband and I were raised Catholic. My parents, however, stopped practicing a decade or more ago. His parents, on the other hand, are SUPER Catholic. They still give us hell for not getting married in the church. They are in for a great surprise when we tell them our children will not be baptized! Still debating on how we will approach religion with our children but I agree with the many who said to teach about world religions and religious leaders.

Thank you again for this thread. I can see many wonderful discussions happening here!
 
hi ladies! went for my ultrasound after stimulating with clomid 50mg days 3-7. i have to follies 18mm each and one on each side. i go back thursday to trigger!! :) FX this is our month FINALLY!!!
 
It's wonderful to see you back PBL!!

Just wanted to share with you all a nice experience I had tonight. There's is a social group at my school for atheists and agnostics. I went to a meeting tonight and it was SO REFRESHING! Just walking in the doors and seeing the faces of folks I knew were fellow atheists was wonderful. We went around the room and told about our "coming out" stories. There were some great ones. There was a range of folks from atheist families to very Christian families. One of my favorites was a Chinese guy who said when people try to convert him he acts like he doesn't understand them (even though he understands and speaks English well). Another guy said he read a lot as a child and when he went to Sunday school he thought it was just story time, but one day he realized that everyone believed the stories and he was shocked! I don't have any atheist friends here, but I'm lucky to have some non-judgmental friends. :) It's nice to be able to speak your mind without offending anyone. I'm also very glad to have you girls on bnb!!!!!!

I will be teaching for the first time in my placement tomorrow (and being observed by my professor). Excited and nervous, and just feeling chatty. Hubby is out of town. Good night, all!
 
Hi! Atheist here, although I never advertise it, I just dont want to get into it. I would NEVER bash anyone's religion, but, it is just not for me. Thanks for this thread and good luck to everyone TTC!
 
:hi: to the new folks! This thread has been very quiet recently, but I'd love to see it revived. Unfortunately, I won't have much news any time soon, as I'm waiting for HCG levels to return to zero after a methotrexate shot.

How is everyone else?
 
Ladies, Thanks in large part to medical science and technology i am now officially pregnant! :)
