The New Positively Positive Thread of Positivity *13* BFPs!!!

[Brie1117]

Jenzy, he is SOOOOO cute!!!! love love love!!


UPDATE: So, I KNOW I ovulated on either 8/9 or 8/10 b/c I ONLY get sore nips around that time, so I'm expecting AF between 8/18 - 8/20.... except for TODAY when all of a sudden I had a red (bright) bleed when I weed this am. I'm talking in the toilet, down my leg, needed a tampon. So I go to change the tampon and there's NOTHING - I don't even understand how that happened! I have "changed" 2 tampons since & NOTHING.... I feel like I MAYBE have cramps, but they're nothing like my usual day-before AF cramps.... anyway, I would totally chalk this up to an early AF & that I got my O date wrong, but I am CONVINCED I O'd 10-11 days ago and I am NEVER early for AF (late, yes, but early? Never). And I know IB is supposed to be "old" blood which makes me think this isn't anything but a very very very early period, but minutes long?? So I'm trying not to get all freaked out or anything, but I almost DON'T want to be preg now b/c our wedding is in MAY and that's, like, cutting it REALLY close! lol.....

Thoughts?


Miss you guys!

Goodness! Wouldn't that be the way that you get preggo as soon as you don't want to? Haha.

I have no advice other than "BODIES ARE WEIRD!"

 

[Brie1117]

True dat true dat - I've called a PP nurse & waiting for her call-back, but otherwise, I'm going to go about my day with a pad, just in case AF was playing peek-a-boo a bit early

 

[Brie1117]

another strangely random spotting moment... I think maybe AF is doing a little cha-cha with me (??)

 

[GingerPanda]

Wtf... Why do our bodies hate us so?

 

[Lionchild]

Strange, Brie. Did you have pain with the bright red bleed? Could it have been a cyst bursting or something? I guess you'll have to play the waiting game to see if and when AF shows up. Sorry not to have any good ideas.

I want to apologize in advance if I'm slightly MIA for the next month. I have my qualifying exams for my PhD starting at the end of the month. They're three full weekends of exams. I have to keep my BnB time to a minimum. I'll check in whenever I have a free minute.

I'll be thinking of you all!!

 

[GingerPanda]

Hope everything is continuing to go well, Lionchild!

 

[Lionchild]

My viability scan is on Monday. I'll update with hopefully good news! So nervous, but I'm luckily too busy to obsess about it.

 

[Frustrated42]

Fx'd for your scan on Monday lionchild.

 

[Brie1117]

She got me - that was so strange!

The funniest bit about this is: both the girls who I share a dressing room with a this theatre began their periods a few days before my first "bizzare" spotting (so all 3 of us technically had our periods at the same time, lol)

I haven't ever had a spotting like this recent one, but I am happy for several reasons:

1. I know that I'm ovulating (b/c of the uber-sore nipples - major sign & key symptom based on my charts) - I've also started temping again to confirm future O's
2. My last period was the end of June, so they're hopefully starting to become more regular (last AF before June was Feb)
3. We wont have a 1 month old at our wedding I was actually really really scared about that possibility - a wedding is one day, a baby is forever , and I want to be able to focus on this big milestone first.......

Which brings me to this conclusion - DF & I have agreed to take it a bit easier on pursuing a pregnancy at the moment (we won't be preventing, necessarily , so if a pregnancy happens, we'll be stoked!) - but we do have a house to finish building, a wedding to plan and more schooling that we've both decided to do , so I will probably not be posting much about our journey in the foreseeable future, but I will check in periodically (I can't wait to read about all your upcoming-soon-to-be-ready-&-waiting-'bout-time-BFPs!!!!!!)

If anything happens, I will let you all know

Thanks for the love and I will pop in soon! XOXO

 

[GingerPanda]

Do come see us! Good luck with all your house and wedding plans!

 

[JenzyKY]

Good luck Brie!

I'm copying and pasting my update from my other thread because I am too exhausted to write any novel sentences.

I went in for my viability scan this morning, which should have put me at 8.1 weeks. Baby stopped growing a few days after the last ultrasound and there was no heartbeat. I had a missed miscarriage.

I'm scheduling a D&C for (hopefully) Friday. I wish I could allow for a natural miscarriage, which would be my preference, but I've got my qualifying exams for my PhD program starting next week, and I can't risk the chance of miscarrying in the middle of those.

Pretty much right now I'm pissed off at the world and have nothing positive to say.

I have some work to do, and then I'm taking a long nap. I hope to be back with some positivity in the near future.

 

[GingerPanda]

I posted in your other thread, hon.

Much love & hugs xx

My CD26 progesterone test came back with really good numbers so we were super excited and started to think maybe this was the month. WRONG!!! My period came yesterday while I was at a family party. I instantly wanted to go home, curl up in my bed, and cry. So now it's off to a fertility specialist to figure out what is causing my "unexplained infertility" and hopefully overcome it. My insurance doesn't cover fertility treatments, so this should be fun... Oh and of course they can't get me in for a month. Fantastic. I have totally lost hope and feel like a failure. Nobody in my family has any of these issues so I'm not sure why this is happening to me. Everyone else gets pregnant super easy in my family. This is so frustrating. 5 of my friends are pregnant right now and I saw a statistic yesterday that said 1 in 6 couples suffer from some sort of infertility. Apparently I am the 1, lucky me! Anyway, just needed to vent to people who understand what I am going through! Hope you are all doing well!

 

[GingerPanda]

I know the feeling, JJDreams. Every single one of my five niblings were accidents, as were me and my two siblings. I have a cousin with six under eight! People sneeze out babies in my family. I have 18 cousins. I'm the only one with fertility problems!

I hope they find something out for you!

 

[Frustrated42]

I know the feeling JJdreams both my brothers have had kids with no problems. I have a huge family. It seems I'm the only one with fertility issues. It can be so frustrating to feel like everyone else just has to think about having a baby and they are pregnant. My one brother has three kids a boy and twin girls. When they decided to have another one it was a month to the day that she quit taking birth control to her BFP which ended with twins.

 

[Lionchild]

I'm sorry, JJ. I understand your pain with all of it. We are all the unlucky ones, the 1 and 6, and it sucks. Ok, now for a positive twist (hence the name of the thread). Maybe that extra month of waiting for your appointment will be enough time to get you your BFP.

I just stumbled across this site. Some of the posts are pretty amusing.

I definitely have ruined more underwear since TTC than ever before because I continually buy 'the small box of tampons' because I will most definitely get my BFP this cycle. It's got to happen. We timed everything perfectly.
