The LTTTC thread for everyone.

Liz, can you tell me how to do that? Son and Hubby are gone out in the woods right now so I've no one to ask to figure it out for me. I know I should know this stuff but we lived years without it and I'm just not caught up yet. Sorry. I'll play with it and see if I can figure it.

Hubby and I can both see the line but it's truly faint. I'm just scared it's not real if you know what I mean? There's been no immune flare up since night before last so I'm encouraged!

Here is H0perful's test (I cropped it closer hehe)

You can upload it to Photobucket and grab the code from there

 

[H0pefulagain]

You're wonderful, Liz. Thank you!!

I've no clue about the bucket for pictures but I'll see if I can figure it out for future reference.

H0peful- I can definately 100% see a line I hope it gets darker over the next few days for you Very nice news to wake up to on a Monday morning

It's an app you can download to your cell phone and it basically uploads your pictures to a website and allows you to get a code to use

Looks promising Hope!!!!

Well I'm back home and had a great time. Disney is so good at thinking of every detail it's amazing. My DS imagination ran wild. One day he was a pirate the next a Jedi master. He rode all the big rides which were so much fun. It also made me a bit sad because he was tall enough and brave enough too.

It was great for DH and I too not thinking of TTC and relaxing. There was 3 times I almost broke down and cried which is unusual for me. I didn't tell DH either also unusual because I didn't want to ruin his good time. One time we were at the pool after Disney in the hotel and my DS was the only one in the pool. He was annoyed because there were no kids to play with. Like I usually do since he is an only child I offered to play with him and his response was "no mom it's just not the same". I then had to sit and watch him try to entertain himself for an hour before he gave up on other kids coming. Don't get me wrong the trip was great but it made it painfully obvious Im infertile.

However I will not dwell on the negitive but move on. If anyone has plans to go to Disney I highly recommend it I had a blast. No if only I got a vacation from my vacation!

Oh also DH is trying to convince me to look for a job in the Orlando area

 

[crystal443]

Hi Milty

Glad you had a blast..we went to DIsney years ago and it was fantastic then, I can only imagine how great it is now. Orlando would be a great place to live I think your hubby's idea to move there is fantastic!!

Sorry you had a few sad moments, I get them every now and then and I find they're a bit more frequent since I've had the mc's Hang in there, our sticky BFP is coming

 

[peacebaby]

Milty sorry for the sad moments. Glad all 3 of you had a great time. I'd be very jealous of you living in Orlando!

Hopeful, I see the line...everything crossed for you. You're not allowed to panic

Crystal, Alison, Hopeful, Bmom, LL thanks for thinking of me....you girls are the best

Makes up for the nasty cyber experience I had last week...I made the huge error of befriending someone who was a casual poster on Bnb, she posted a few times last year but I guess people didn't respond, I felt bad for her. Anyway she got upset because she felt I got a bfp ......wait for it ...."so quickly"...Oh yes and this coming from someone who has been ttc for a shorter period than me by about 1.5 yrs. I even apologised that my news was upsetting to her. The negativity spewed out on me was shocking and upsetting to say the least. DH had warned me about her from the beginning and he was right. She mentioned that a friend at work had ditched her, now I know why. I've had to block her and wish I'd cut her off sooner...who needs negative energy hey. Learnt my lesson well enough! So girls be careful, there are psychos out there

 

[LLbean]

Oh I have had my fair share of psychos too lol. I never understood people getting upset over a BFP to me it's always exciting and makes me feel good. Not like anyone is stealing an opportunity from me or something... Just don't get it

 

[H0pefulagain]

Milty, so glad you had a good time on your vacation! Sorry for the sad moments and hope they are soon replaced by a sticking BFP.

Peace, so sorry you had to deal with a psycho. I've not had that experience online and hope I never do.

I started spotting tonight. I fear it's going to be a repeat of previous times. I can't quit crying. Hubby is outside and I refuse to call him in just to tell him. He'll want to quit if he sees it affecting me much. I'm going to try to go to bed early. I knew better than to get excited this early on.

 

[crystal443]

H0peful- Hang in there, spotting can be very normal in early pregnancy so try not to stress too much although I know from experience easier said then done Do you need to call your doctor for any meds or can you go see him tomorrow to get a Beta done? Don't stress alone we're here if you need to vent

 

[crystal443]

Peace- I'm very wary of ladies on here and usually stick to journals and this thread I will post on the over 35 thread if I see a post that is interesting I'm sorry you had that experience its the last thing you need right now.


I've never understood how someone else's BFP can be so upsetting I'm so happy for you because its your BFP and your baby. I don't feel like you've somehow taken my BFP because you got yours. Don't EVER apologize for your BFP, you've been to hell and back for that little bean and you deserve it as much as anyone, your supportive and very kind to everyone. Someone should have b*tch slapped that woman


On a side note- I just had a huge amount of EWCM so maybe I'll O around cd14 this month I think I'll do an OPK later today just in case I O early

 

[H0pefulagain]

I agree with Crystal. Don't EVER apologize for your BFP. We are all fighting tooth and toenail for our own BFP and we're here to support each other in our journeys to each of our BFP's. If someone is so selfish that they cannot be happy for the other, despite their sorrow or hurt for themselves, then that is not your problem.

We're fairly certain I'm in the middle of miscarrying. I'll go in the morning to make sure but it's a pretty sure bet. I just got a phone call from a friend who has been trying to conceive for 9 yrs and finally gave up and adopted an infant this summer. She had no way of knowing what I was going through but she finally got her BFP and called to tell me. We both cried for my loss and cried for her joy. Then we got down to the business of planning some shopping as she's going to need a few things to wear with her gaining size.

Friends are supposed to support each other even when it might hurt slightly to do so. I'm truly sorry your psycho buddy fussed at you. I hope she finds joy and learns to be happy for you.

O hopeful you are such a wonderful lady ,I pray everything works out for you my love

 

[Bravemom]

Peace ,you know how I feel and I could go sort it out for you but you won't let me We are all over the moon for you and you have all of us to be happy for you ,hang in there we love you loads ,

 

[crystal443]

H0peful, your an amazing lady and I was nodding to everything you said

oh dear Hopeful, I've come on to check for an update from you and sad to read this I'm hoping its just a break through bleed or something else. Lots of big squeezy hugs. Please let us know how it goes today.

what an amazing friend you are, she's lucky to have you.

Ladies thanks for your support. Bmom I know you could handle her but I wouldn't want you wasting your energy Fortunately it was text and email communication only, despite requests I never met her. There were a few indicators of mental issues so I guess its bigger than just me.

I agree we're fighting individual battles not competing with each other...there's no finite number of babies and we each have a different path....we can lament and celebrate together, comfort each other and share knowledge and gifts along the way.Oh she said my reaction to my SIL's pregnancy meant that I couldn't be happy for any other woman! I say, there's a big difference between someone "accidentally' getting pregnant and using it to nail down a man (not nice in my books) and ladies who I know have been through a ttc struggle and have steady happy homes with husbands/partners waiting with open arms for a baby/an addition to their family.

 

[CaliDreaming]

Hi, I'm popping in to say hello! I am 38 with a 20 month old dd and TTC #2. I am about to hit the year mark after this month, and since I am pretty sure that this cycle is a bust, I'm hoping to join you ladies a couple of weeks early.

The only good thing about hitting that one year mark is the fact that I can now post in this thread instead of just lurk, lol. This is pretty much the only section on this board where I really fit in. The LTTC section seems to be geared toward ladies trying for #1, the over 35 section seems geared toward those trying for #1, or women who haven't had much problem getting pregnant, and the secondary infertility section doesn't get much traffic at all.

 

[Blythe]

Hi girls I have been trying for nearly two years with one chemical. I have a 3 yo boy and we are both 40 so trying to keep positive.....fingers crossed for lots of bfp here. Quick question....do you ladies take your supplements when you have your period ordo you take a break?

 

[readyformore]

Happy...... so sorry honey.

Peace....some people are so strange. I can admit that when I see someone's bfp, it makes me jealous, but I don't begrudge them. I just feel left out. Hope you are feeling very unwell. Or at the very least, not freaking out too much.

Milty....yay for the vacation. I've never been to Disney but it sounds fun. I think we will always have those reminders of our infertility. Sorry it snuck up on you though. I hate to be blind sighted like that.

Hopeful.......so sorry for you. It really is unfair.

Hi to Bmom, LL, Suki, Jen, Alison, Crystal, and everyone else.

Welcome Blythe and Cali. About supplements......I don't take them anymore, and I don't feel bad about it at all.

AFM........feeling really good. This whole acceptance about not getting pregnant again really seems to be helping me. Honestly, my life is so crazy with my kids' obligations that it almost seems crazy to consider another one, (or I'm just compensating ). I was taking care of 35 week twins today. I was pushing them down the hall to the nursery and my friends felt free to pick on me about how I would be a great twin mom. It was good natured and pretty funny......but for me....I'd rather be infertile than have twins. At least I can see the advantage of where I'm at.
