Skye- Enjoy your trip, thanks for letting us know you would be away for a few days so we wouldn't completely freak out again.

Lynnb- super excited for you!!!

never- I hope you are right and this is a bfp in the making

Lava- you would certainly feel that way especially since you are pg. Even though you only took clomid did you trigger? These are good signs!!! I'm totally excited for you I know this is it.

Ginger- Glad you are back!!!!! We missed you

Onmymind- I hope you are feeling better soon, where are you in your cycle?

afm- Ok all along since Saturday I thought what I was experiencing was gas, after waking up twice a night for the past few nights I think I actually have acid reflux. WTH where did that come from, my stomach is gurggling as we speak, not to mention at 4:30 this morning I woke up in pain from heartburn and my stomach and dry heaved and sat on the bathroom floor for about 10 minutes. Its still way too early for me to be pg, I'm only 6dpo. This is so painful and irritating, I called my RE and left a message I"m waiting on them to call me back to let me know if this is common or if I need to see my Dr. I CANNOT go to San Francisco feeling like this. UGGGGH, this has been a horrible week.

Ummmm honey not to get your hopes up, but i remember the first time i got pg, at 4dpo, my boobies were sore, and that had NEVER happend before, i thought it was so strange, i took a test the morning of 10dpo and it was negative, and i thought ok, then that night i was so crabby and dh said are you pg, and i said i dont think so, but i took another test that night, and sure enough a faint line showed, your acid reflux could be your body gearing up for what it already knows is going to happen. I so have everything crossed for you. AFM i have no idea where i am at this cycle, i think af should be due around the 8th, i dont think i would be pg, we only dtd 3 times and i am not even sure they were at the right times lol.

I go away for a day and there are 5 pages to catch up on! And I only have a few mins to say hello and thanks so much for all the lovely comments on my art (Nikki, if there is anything on there that you like but is not listed as available as a print then let me know and I will change it!)

Padbrat, FX for everything and sounds a good sign that you are not having cramping.

Lava, darker line sounds excellent.

Bab4Mj - LOL sounds like you have an OH with a bit of stamina there - Mine is similar and will be up for whatever I ask - so far! Am managing to meet up with him a bit more this month so will pull out all the stops

And hello to everyone else (sorry very tired after long day in London) HA, FM, gingerbread, bblve, missy, labrat, Skye, LynneB and sorry if I missed anyone - it is such a lovely community on here

 

[onmymind17]

Hey, ladies!

I've been kind of lurking today...having a hard time keeping up with everyone, but happy to see people popping in here and there with updates. Love all the pics! Maybe one day I'll be brave enough to post one of me and DH...

So, how many preggies do we have with us now?...hmmm..skye....lynn...padbrat(Deb)...lava (that's right, lava - I said it!)...CD13 and the clomid should def be out of your system...darker line each day...I don't think I can stop myself, nope I can't! Pulling for that confirmation of your !!

​

OMM (Chris): If there's any possibility you may be preg, check with your doc before taking the grapefruit seed extract - I want you to be well AND safe!!

AFM, today marks CD16 and I'm still getting "high fertility" symbol on the https://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e367/gatsby6306/thverymad.gif CBFM, no sign of a peak, and I only have 3 opk sticks left which means dropping another $36 on a box of sticks for what? I can't imagine that I didn't ov already. I typically ov CD11-CD12 so something weird (no ov??) is definitely up and I'm getting annoyed. AF is due CD26, so I guess DH and I will just keep BDing every other day until then (God help me) to be on the safe side? Or do I now consider myself at the beginning of the interminable 2WW? I don't know. DH and I are going on vacation in a couple of weeks to a cabin on the lake, and technically I should POAS smack in the middle of vacation, which I'm afraid will ruin everything if I get a BFN. Also, does this mean no romantic afternoons of wine and cheese on the lake? I don't want to ruin this vacation, DH has so been looking forward to it, but I'm so confused and annoyed at that #$%& CBFM!!! ERRGGGHHWHHAAAAAAAA!! (I think I have officially bounced myself out of the "Whatevs Wagon"...)

No honey i dont think i am pg, af would not be due until the 8th or so which means i am way out from anything implanting, besides we only dtd 3 times and i dont even know if they were at the right time.

OK, as for you, you put yourself back on the whateves wagon right now!!! You go on your vacation and you have fun, do you realize how many women get pg after they had been drinking, we have to relax and enjoy, and some wine and cheese is not going to hurt anything. As for POAS well i would just leave that until you come back, then test, dont worry about your CBFM or anything else, heck my sister got smashed on new years eve and then found out january 4th that she was pg, and my niece is now almost twelve and perfectly healthy lol. You go have fun, enjoy, heck a little wine and cheese might be just what you need to get that little one to stick!!

^^^preggo brain? I can't remember where you are in your cycle but are you certain that you are not pregnant?

I just think it's in the waters lately...lots of BFP's going around and I really want us all to have our very own BFP's too

Hope you're feeling better soon though

A xxx

LOL, even i dont know where i am at in my cycle lol, this time i really jumped on the whatever wagon. I am usually 25 days, so i am guessing af is due ohhhh sometime around the 8th maybe lol. I think its more the head cold i have lol, although i have to say i keep getting these sharp little twinges on my right side, feels like where my ovary is at, but who knows, all i know is my body loves to play tricks on me lol. Thanks for the hugs oh and i got the Grapeseed Extract, going to try that now!!

Don't forget: Mix it up good in some juice and take it down like you're throwing down a tequila shot. You don't want to taste that stuff straight on because it's like sucking on a grapefruit peel x1000! Hope it works and that you're feeling better soon!

 

[onmymind17]

Now can I whoop and dance around Lava???

Baby you crack me up with the stinky avatar!! LMAO

hello again Ginger!! Nice to see you again!

Hope that pain goes quick for you FM!

Lovely art Butterfly!

I am a lil panic right now ladies as I started spotting last night... nothing major, just a little (TMI) brown blood and no cramps..... couldn't call my cons today as have been in back to back meetings... for those God fearing ladies here... he couldn't take 6 from me could he????

Honey dont panic, brown blood is ok, its probably that little one digging in nice and snug for the 9 month wait. I dont think God is going to take this one from you, i think he found the perfect little bean for you!!

LOL, one advantage to having a completly stuffed up nose, i cant taste or smell a thing. I mixed it into some apple juice, i could feel the tang on my tounge, but no taste lol.

FM, like everyone else I keep trying NOT to get your hopes up but I'm on pins and needles here. Praying you continue to be sicker than a dog (the kind of sick that means your pregnant). Sorry, but if that's the way it has to be to get you there, I'm darn near EXTATIC!

to all the rest of you LOVELY ladies!

 

[Neversaynever]

Padbrat...I am crossing everythin possible that your pink bean is snuggling tight which is why yoiu have spotting. Take it easy, call your cons and TRY not to worry. We are all with you on this hun. Massive

I had to do a double check to be sure that was YOU! You have a different avatar now.

 

[Neversaynever]

Baby4MJ...we have been to Vegas 4 times now and apart from the first visit, they have all been for specific reasons. This last time was so difficult as we WERE going to get married but as I was no longer pregnant, we decided against it. Long story short...OH has been married and swore he'd never remarry, I have always said no marriage unless I have kids (always said never to kids too ) but OH was going to compromise and make us a little family unit. I'm over that now but it was hard being there knowing I should have had a 20 week bump and getting married because of Ginge. I'm glad your dad got to see Vegas....fab place

Ginger...I was being a PIA today but I love a good banter. OH is away till Monday so I can come on here as often as I want Good to see you back though

Missy...it is so hard being a stepmom, I was a stepmom for four years to three children and they spent more time with me than their parents combined. I am still in touch with them all now and I split from their father ten years ago. I know it's hard but you'll have your very own baby to nurture and cherish before you know it

HA...glad you've had a lovely time. Have to say, I wouldn't want to be behind you at a yoga class doing that wind release pose and it IS good to have you back too

bblve..no sleeping allowed will soon be 12 dpo and you can see your BFP

Nikki...thanks for the nice comment...we are sad dudes as we keep going back but we love the place. Oh, we have already booked to go back in August . Fingers crossed your bfp is in you ready to show it's lovely second line

Lava...I just think you're being a meanie and making us all wait I am so looking forward to celebrating

OMM...you do know a cold is a preggo symptom?? As for not DTD nat the right times...or not enough...pah! I caught in December after one so it DOES happen..Implantation is anytime from 6DPO so you COULD have implanted by now

to MA, twinkle and everyone else.

AFM...had a lovely night out with some friends at a Chinese biffet. Stuffed myself silly and loving the whatevs wagon very much

XxX

 

[bblve]

Baby4MJ- "Willie splint" - Omg!!!!!!! Hilarious....got a total mental image, thanks for the laugh & I agree with OMM.

Hugs to all the gals - such a great group.

 

[lynnb]

Deb, sounds like old blood & no cramping is a good sign. Have everything crossed that lil beanie stays put. Let us know what your consultant says

Never,
I just had DH take a pic of my hpts, but it's not the best picture. I'm heading in now to get my blood test and will post again when I get the results. I told my mom and of course, my DH both know and they are staying super calm and not getting excited at all. Mom just says to keep a good thought and DH said he would be excited when we knew it would stick. I want to be excited now so I'm a little hurt, but I guess I need confirmation at the doctors. I'm going with the PMA!!! So, here's a little happy emoticon for now.

 

[Suki73]

lavalux -

Wow, so exciting seeing the double line!!!!

Many congrats!!!!!!

 

[caroleb73]

Hey Lava it looks like you are a little more than a little pregnant, very clear lines indeed. I just know your bloods will be fine and the numbers healthy. Keep believing that this is your time and enjoy the moment

FM I am praying that this is your month, you have been through so much already and I am just praying that the symptoms you are experiencing are for a very good reason. Hang in there my friend and hoping to hear great news next week

AFM been feeling sick from the different meds I have taken the past couple of days but only 1 more day of meds and then back for a scan on Sunday and hopefully trigger shot. My sister called me from the UK and was telling me that I have to be prepared for this IVF not to work and that if that is the case I need to keep going. I did snap at her as she was crying after not falling pregnant in the first 3 months and went to the doctor pankicking and wanting tests, she got pregnant the very next month. I reminded her of how scared she felt at 3 months trying and then told her to think how she would feel after 2 years and also being 38 not 32. I know it is not her fault but sometimes she can be really insensitive and being like that to a lady at the end of a course of fertility meds is not a good idea. I told my Mum as I felt bad after but my Mum supported me and said that my sister needs to understand what I am going through more and be thankful for what she has. God I love and miss my Mum.

I am so happy to see so many ladies getting their BFP's and hoping that it will spread.

Take care all and have a wonderful weekend
