The One Year Strong Ladies!

[wannabeprego]

How is everyone's weekend going so far? Did anybody do anything fun? Me and DH took advantage of the 60 degree weather and played tennis yesterday. It was fun, and a good work out. We both need alot of practice to get better at it though..LOL..

I ordered a 50 pack of the internet cheapy OPK's and a 50 pack of HPT's so I am all ready to get into TTC again this month. DH is cooking pancakes and turkey bacon for breakfast this morning....yumm....

I am going to try to go speed walking today, hopefully if it doesnt rain, but it is warm out and our grass is starting to get green, trees are getting buds, i love spring time...

wannabe - we used those cheapies for our bfp- the opks are great fx'd for you!

 

[HappiestMom]

have you thought of using the pre-seed and softcups wannabe? I really think they are amazing..and hear about tons of ladies on the site getting preggie within the first few times using either and especially both!! they worked for me!!!

@NJ i'm so sorry hunny EVIL EVIL EVIL !!! I hope everything works out with all the tests and as Mrs J said I hope they're pain free and lead you quickly to that BFP!!

We've had a full on weekend and just came back from celebrating my sister's birthday at the best chinese in London! Yum!

we have been using the preseed for a while now, I rcently bought the soft cups but havent used them yet, i was thinking of using them this month though, I just have some fear about shoving them up in there and worry they will get jammed up in there or something and me not being able to get it out, and ending up in the ER having to get it surgically removed, LOL, yes I know that sounds extreme but it freaks me out, i wish there was a string or something attached to pull the thing out when u are done....

I am getting desperate for my BFP and am willing to try just about anything at this point...

I still have that artificial insemination kit that i bought as well and havent tried that out yet either..hmmmm...maybe i will try it this month as well...

I also have learned my lesson about testing early and wont do it unless I can get past CD33, which is my longest cycle on record since i started tracking AF over about a year and a half ago... last cycle i got fooled because AF waited until late on CD33 to show up....my short cycles of 25 days that i had been having made me think i was going to get lucky, but i am not falling for that again....

I completely understand. I'm sooo not testing til i'm about 7 days late! No more chemical pg for me!!

 

[HappiestMom]

I think after the baby and once Im done breastfeeding..so in about 2 years from now..I might try that HCG diet...I know a lot of people that have done it and its worked for them and they were able to keep it off too!!!

 

[NJAngelAPN]

I refuse to test until I know AF hasn't shown. It's hard enough doing all the symptom spotting.
Thanks for all the kind words, girls. This is one of the few places I can go when I feel frustrated! You're the only ones who don't think I'm obsessed, LOL. It's hard to talk to DH, and my best friend is 3000 miles away with three kids of her own.
I'm a little nervous about seeing the specialist. I know the first visit is going to be just a consultation, and I have no idea where it's going to go from there. Can't help but get nervous that he's going to tell me we're crazy, or that there's nothing they can do, etc. I know it's all crazy-talk, but still. I'll keep you all posted - because I know you guys will help keep me sane!

we used softcups and preseed for I think 3 cyclrs before the bfp. We also did ferning which was kind of fun as well I only tested early that cycle because I had a dream that I got my bfp. When normally I would have dreams of bfns. It was actually pretty awesome.

 

[NJAngelAPN]

Where's everyone been today? It's not usually this quiet!

 

[HappiestMom]

i was wondering the same thing lol...ive just been relaxing and had a bout of MS and then now just ate some Papa Johns lol..just hoping I dont regret it lol...

 

[HappiestMom]

I just emailed a local Troubled Adolescent facility about volunteering with their mentor program or their Children and Parenting Skills program. I helped out with teen moms in highschool and one of my best friends from highschool was the teen mom program director and was my mentor. I actually get to go see her for the first time in two or so years at Easter and I cant wait!! I think its so important to help out the teen moms and those that need someone to talk to...especially since my sister is 16 and at that age...I know they dont like to go to their parents and they need positive influences...I really hope they can use some help..would be great for me to get out of the house and since there are no job openings in my area for what I want to do I might as well do something...and I know hubby would be happy with me getting out of the house!...

 

[hopingnowsit]

I got my prediction from Gail today. A very long, lovely prediction that touched on a LOT of things that are issues right now (it's fun when they seem to go along with your life...makes it more interesting), and she predicted a BFP before June, with a boy, and then a girl in 2013.
One week until the MD!
