*TEAM 2012 BABY*Beans in our bellies by the end of 2012 ! **88 BFP's**

[DBZ34]

So the showed up yesterday, after being 2 DAYS LATE We are now heading into cycle 16 I know I still have time but it feels like my chances of a 2012 baby are slipping through my fingers

I feel the same way....I would love a 2012 baby, but this is my last cycle TTCing until February and March is the last month I could have a 2012 baby. But I won't give up! It can still happen! And if I don't have a BFP by March, well, a birthday BFP in April would be great too! I'm trying to stay positive through this TTC journey, but it's so hard. Especially when I think it could be and it isn't. But I won't give up!

 

[butterflies3]

That is the hardest part, not having any control. are you ttc #1??

And to you too

How long have yall been TTC?

 

[DBZ34]

I'm on cycle 6, but I don't think I was ovulating for most of my previous cycles and I think my hormones just settled down this month from being on BCP. So not nearly as long as some, but I'm so glad to be a part of this board. You ladies who have been trying for more cycles than me are such an inspiration. You all are so amazing.

There have been a lot of conceiving/frequent MC issues in my family (my mom was the only one out of four able to have more than one child and the second was only after a laparoscopy for endometriosis), so of course there's that worry in the back of my mind that I've left it too long and my BFP will be a long time coming. So I look up to those who keep trying every cycle, even if it goes past that dreaded year, and when you get your BFPs, it's going to be so so wonderful. I hope I can join you soon.

I get down sometimes, usually the day AF arrives, but I have to stay positive or I won't even want to try anymore and that won't get me anywhere....

Jo so so sorry such a sad thing to happen. But its not the end of your story... rest up,look after yourself and come back fighting! You WILL get your sticky bean my love. Don't give up! Thinking of you xx

 

[MrsMM24]

Well, I am on to Cycle #26 or #27, hard to keep up at this point....

:wave: to all the newbies... MRS VINTAGE, JENN1019, LITTLECHEN, and JELS!!!

GL DIZZY!!!

CONGRATS! LITTLECHEN! Wishing you a H&H 9mos!

ABIT, no TWW is easy, after a few years, a loss, I still get the nervousness in the TWW, sometime more than others.... Hang in there!

HAJ, I know this is hard, but head up and look forward to another cycle a step closer to a BFP!

JEN, GL with testing!!!

KITCAT, sounds like OV is near, BD until OV is confirmed Hun!!

Sorry that AF flew in for you BABYJO and BUTTERFLIES!!!

JOSEPHINE, I know that it is a hard time right now, but focus on taking care of yourself and recovering

AFM...Well, AF snuck in on me this weekend. She was roaring too. In fact, each one since MC has been progressively more rough. I am keeping my appt with my doc which is after Thanksgiving just to check things out as I haven't had an AF like that since I first got AF. I was put on BC to help that and regulate it. Not an option I am going for this time though so we shall see. Sorry that I was M.I.A on you all this weekend. The saddness that DW and I went through was rough and the internet was the last thing on my mind. As well, the cramps and flow was soooo very strong, I wasn't moving anyway. I am happy to say, that we have decided that we will try again regardless and move forwar dinto what looks like will be December! We just aren't to the point to take break yet. Since it is later, we will have some time to get the donations and shipments scheduled (you know I am a planner so I will start that work this week) and then we will get a few more tests ( have alot left as we wait to test) and get the ball rolling in a couple of weeks. Still alittle sad, but not as much and cramping has gone down quite a bit so, I am here! GL FXD! to you all in the TWW, and the act of Catch that Eggy!!!

@littlechen - Congratulations!!

@haj624 - I know how you feel about the cramps I'm having them too, and thinking the same things. They definitely feel like AF. That being said, my best friend is 17 weeks pregnant and she swears she was absolutely positive that AF was on her way when she got her BFP she had completely normal AF cramping, nothing different about it at all.

@kitcatbaby Good Luck to you Hon, it would make my day to hear that you get a BFP this month! My fertility doctor told me that with normal semen count you should BD 1x per day 2-3 days before you O and 1-2 days after (just to make certain you catch the egg) If your DH has sperm issues I think that changes the timing though.

@Josephine3 - I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. That kind of emotional pain is the kind no one should have to go through. I'm definitely rooting for you to get your sticky bean very soon, I'm pretty sure we all are.

@babybob, butterflies3 & MrsMM24 - Sorry to hear about the witch. Sending a prayer for you, and lots of for next cycle.

As for me:

Ok ladies... I took a test today (again) but it was really weird. I checked the test about 4-6 minutes after I took it, when I looked at it I could DEFINITELY see a second line, but it was white???

I've never been able to see an indent on a FRER. I couldn't get a picture of it, so I pulled the strip out of the tester. AFTER pulling the strip out I could swear that the line turned ever so slightly pink, so I think the pink is probably from evap? Although I really want it to be that I just couldn't see the pink in the tester... I took a pic, but its REALLY hard to see on the pic. (Pic is in the link below)

I really don't know what to think. I still feel so completely out this month and I'm pretty sure I'm just fooling myself. a white line doesn't ever indicate pregnancy, does it? and the pink only showed up after I took it out of the plastic. Maybe I'm just completely crazy and you guys won't see it at all.

Opinions welcome.

Weirdest FRER I've ever seen

 

[DBZ34]

Josephine. I'm so so sorry to hear about your loss.

 

[Mrs W 11]

Bigs hugs Jo So sorry hun. Thinking of you.

DBZ & Butterflies - keep going, I never thought I would get my BFP before xmas and I did just when I wasnt expecting it so keep positive, it could still happen and it will happen xx

MrsMM - so sorry that AF got you hun but glad you are going for it again in December. Fxd and keep us posted

Abitjaded I cant see your test hun but keep trying, it could just be really faint.

Tons of baby dust to everyone

So sorry Jo

14 dpo, witch due tomorrow.....!

 

[kitcatbaby]

@MrsMM... so sorry that nasty witch got you again! But awesome to see you as positive as always and planning for a lovely December bfp babydust to you as always!
@abitjaded... what a lovely thing to say thankyou for your kind words. Believe me it would make my day too

AFM... It's been bd central at my place the past few days my poor OH is exhausted LOL. Really hoping that this is our month and if not I really don't know what else we could have done. I've never felt really confident about the timing of bd around Ov but with the amount of lovin we have had the past week SURELY some of the swimmers must have made it up there
In other news my best friend is going for IVF next week. Send her some babydust ladies... she's been ttc for 8 long years
Babydust to you all xx

 

[minni2906]

Jo - I'm so sorry.

Butterflies - Don't lose hope!! There are still approx 5 cycles to conceive a 2012 baby!

DBZ - I don't think it matters what cycle we're all on; inside we all want the same thing. A Baby. And I am almost positive we ALL get kinda down around the day AF arrives!!

Mrs. MM - I'm sorry. But, fxed for December!

Abitjaded - I have never been good at reading pictures of tests, but as we've all said before, you're not out until the arrives!!!

AFM - Nothing really new to report. I have been feeling some cramping and some twinges really low in my abdomen. This is all new to me so I've never really paid attention to these random pains. Hahahah. Also had some pain in my bbs, but not so much tenderness as stabbing pains? I'm only 3DPO, so we shall see!!! My sister in law is in college across the country and she can't wait to be an aunt... How exciting would it be to have good news for her (and us, of course!) when she comes home for Christmas break?!

to all!!!!

I have been married for 5 years. TTC for 3 years. I have always had a regular cycle exactly 28 days. Recently went to a doctor and she did an ultrasound and blood test on CD2 and immediately put me on glucophage and duphaston. My progesterone levels were not balanced !!! Am now again on CD3 and praying and hoping that this will be the month. I cry all the time, wondering why me. I am even scared to go anywhere to socialise, because the first question is always " no babies yet?" i hate this question and now i keep to myself. I go to work, come home then go to work. Thanks God for my husband, he is my best friend and he has always been there for me. Am now counting again this month and hope it will happen soon for me. Its also a comfort to know that i am not alone.

Nevermind ladies... Its definitely an evap now. The line is wayyy darker, very obvious and very grey. Here's hoping for a positive in a day or two.

Hate evaps Grrrr! Was it a frer? I always get a stark white line on frers so tend not to use them. Fxd you get to see a nice pink line in a few days hun xx

 

[josephine3]

Thanks for the well wishes everyone. I havent been able to get online recently due to computer issues sorry ladies! Im still a bit miserable, but am in less pain since I passed that before, Mrs MM I feel your pain with the cramps/flow!! Our bodies are so complicated at times, even if we dont get those 2 lines, it doesnt mean nothing is happening in there! I knew I was pregnant, and this has just confirmed it for me. Maybe it wouldnt have been a viable pregnancy, who knows...
I think I did too much work near my natural af date, and will be being MUCH more cautious from now on during 2ww or any kind of limbo time. I talked to my mom and she said her doctor told her healthy pregnancies dont get dislodged by normal activities or strenuous moving/coughing..
However, I feel I must look on the bright side, in that this means my body is capable of concieving, and in the past 6 months that my cycle has gone back to being 'regular' I have had these 2 'chemicals.' Surely my bfp cant be that far away... I hope.

I am trying to take full advantage of the more fertile after a mc theory and try to cover all bases this moth. It was such a lovely feeling I want to get it back as soon as possible. and my oh will be so relieved to finally get to dtd!! We've not done it in about a month, so Im sure he wont protest!!


abitjaded I can see lines keep testing!

Good luck to everyone around ov time, kitcat sounds like you have all bases covered!!

Am thinking of ordering me some mooonstone, anyone been on that thread??
I have seen one i like on ebay but not got round to it yet...
to all

The saga continues...

After taking those pics and before I realized it was certainly an evap I took another FRER, stark negative. I took it apart to be sure.

I called Church & Dwight co, (the makers of first response) cuz I was hoping to get a free test since I got an evap within 5 minutes of taking the stupid test.

They told me I'm pregnant. They said a white line appearing within a few minutes is still a positive result. I texted the picture to my best friend and she said she saw the white line right off the bat.

So I went back and checked the 2nd test, I see a 2nd line. I'm pretty sure its an evap since it wasn't there when I took the test apart!

So, I'm probably pregnant??? I'm having so much trouble believing this since both tests were so weird. I feel like I'm coming apart at the seams. I want so badly to believe this, but I know EXACTLY how massively painful it will be if I allow myself to believe and then find out it was all in my head.

I need your expert advice ladies... its been a week of first for me, after my 1st EWCM yesterday I have just peed on my 1st EVER positive Opk and we bd last night and this morning, will bd tonight and tomorrow to cover all bases but my question is this... will I actually Ov tomorrow? Is tonights bd going to be my best chance of catching the eggy? Xx

Nobody can say for sure when you are going to ov even if you have positive sticks they just respond to the hormones You can however see whenabouts you ov'ed after the temp shift.
