My husband has also been so amazing and supportive This TTC 'process' (if you can call it a process after only 2.5 cycles LOL) has definitely brought he and I closer together. Last night I was explaining to him why I take my temp every morning and why I track everything on FF and I could just tell how happy he was about it all. It was so sweet and makes me love him even more.

Gator, I hope this is a lucky cycle for you! I was very antsy last cycle. It was the first time in my life I was really paying attention to O time, etc. Try to relax - your body will do what it always does, it's just that now you are noticing it having a forum to talk about all this stuff definitely helps

 

[Gator23]

Totally true starluck. It's nice to know you felt the same way last month!

 

[MiaGirl]

It's so nice when DH is just as excited as we are! Mine likes to talk about baby names all the time

Gator I hope you get to O soon and catch that eggy!

I got my definitive crosshairs today, so officially 3dpo. Already feeling antsy.

Are some people testing soon?

 

[maggz]

Yay for more people in the tww!
I'll be testing soonish... or in about a week if af doesn't show her ugly rear.

I bought some baby stuff today, please tell my I'm not insane!! lol... My friend had some coupon codes for something called The Belly Button Band and Seven Everyday Slings so I bought a sling for the future baby and the belly support band which apparently buttons onto your pre-maternity pants... exciting! I basically got the products for free but had to pay shipping... so just in case you girls are interested here they are
Belly band: enjoybb
Sling: enjoyss
(I have no connection to these companies at all lol but we all love free stuff right?!)

 

[Gator23]

That's awesome Mia! I hope this is your month too!!!!

Thanks for the recommendations Maggz. Sounds like a good deal!!

I started reading what to expect.... I might be getting ahead of myself....but so far it's interesting. Anyone else partaking in pregnancy book reading? I heard the Mayo clinic guide to a healthy pregnancy is a good one too.

what color did you get?!

i want to get something pretty, but that means my husband will hate it! my favorite would be a bit girly if it ends up being a boy and if i have any hope my husband will wear it with the baby, i probably should get the one he likes huh?

 

[Mintastic]

Oh no - now we are all going to order slings and belly bands. I hope that doesn't jinx anything... I get afraid of having infertility problems and just hugging the sling and crying...

 

[Michellebelle]

I am scared to get ahead of myself and do things like look at baby clothes or read pregnancy books! However... I may cave soon. Hard to resist all those cute things! And I'm such a planner, it's not uncommon for me to get ahead of myself.

AFM, FF is saying I am 8dpo (with dotted crosshairs). It's hard to wait to test! I figure waiting until at least 14 dpo is best? What do you guys think? This is my first month ttc, so I have no idea what to do!

 

[Mintastic]

I like to wait until 14dpo but in reality cave a few days earlier like 12dpo. Many women on here start testing way earlier though but personally I couldn't handle that.

As far as preg books I have been focusing on TTC books like tcoyf and impatient woman's guide to getting pregnant and what to expect before...

 

[Mintastic]

Also - Loobs - new temping buddy - are you about? Tomorrow is my first Saturday temping and I am so bummed about having to set my alarm for 6am - I work on Saturdays but not until later and normally sleep in until 8 (or even 9 if the dog lets me). This temping business had better be worth it!

Thanks for the perspective, Mint! I'm going to try to wait til 14 dpo.

Haha I laughed out loud!! I really hope it doesn't jinx anything either!

Lol oops I didn't even think about it but I got the black belly bands (DH won't use those ) and I think the sling is called Indy.. The patterned white and black one. I figured it's nice but not too frilly haha

 

[Tink_]

I had bought a belly band a while ago as well haha. I have so much stuff, oh dear!

 

[hanrh]

I just love that you ladies have bought lots of baby stuff. I wish I had the confidence to do the same. I worry so much it will never happen for me! I'm even too scared to look at baby clothes in shops - I just stare longingly in that direction!

I really want to get the what to expect book though!

mint,
i feel a little bit like that in the very back of my mind, but i am still more optimistic than pessimistic.

maggz,
thanks for the free stuff! i got the dark gray belly bands. laughed at you saying your husband won't wear those - my husband has gained some weight lately so would probably claim he needs them! and i got the green geometric looking pattern, called Daze. you are such an enabler! and i love it!

then, right after buying those, my husband was buying some computer cable on amazon but it was only an "add-on" item, so he asked if there was any thing around $20-30 that i wanted on amazon (to be the "main" order so they would ship his cable) and he said, "anything else for baby?" and i said i wanted an ergo but it was definitely more than a $20 purchase, but he didn't seem to bat an eyelash at the price and said, "okay, perfect, add it to the cart!"

so, am officially crazy. let's hope there's a baby on the way!

hanrh,
just looked at your chart and looks awesome! last month at this same time your temps took a huge dip but this month went higher...fingers crossed you can start buying stuff soon after a bfp!! you probably already said, but are you testing soon? waiting out for AF?

Aw thanks jumpingo - that just made me feel so much better. I think my temp this morning was the highest it's ever been. I was terrified it would drop today as like you said this is usually when it does. I have been getting terrible pains in my back which I keep thinking is af starting so have been to the loo about a million times. As for testing ... Af usually arrive on 11/12 dpo so that tomorrow or Monday. I'm going to see what happens an maybe test Monday. When are you testing???

 

[jumpingo]

funny you should ask

i'm only 7DPO but got what i hope was implantation spotting this morning (and a temp dip, so getting even more hopeful) and tested around 3pm. i knew it was way too early, but couldn't help myself.

my family is coming tomorrow to visit for a week, and we'll be traveling all over so am hoping i can "forget" about testing...AF is due the 10th, the same day they leave. so, will be seeing which comes first, my POAS addiction or the !

keep us posted tomorrow and monday!!

 

[Loobs]

Can't wait for you ladies to test! All sounds so promising!!

I'm here Mint! I work all different days of the week, I was off Thursday and Friday so totally know what you mean about that 6am alarm! I managed ok - the first morning I was awake for a while then snoozed a bit. Yesterday was fine - I actually wondered if I had dreamt taking my temp and took it again

I had a few alcoholic drinks last night - I've just checked the "drinking" box, is that right? Also, I was awake for a while around 4am before temping at 6. How do I tell FF that might not be accurate? Thanks ladies! x
