TTC#3 in August...looking for a buddy

[coral11680]

Hey Trey,
Yes I have signed up with FF, although it is all confusing! Lol

Do you normally get cramps so early before AF is due? I say test in 2 more days if you can wait! Lol
I hope I don't test as much this month! I certainly don't want to symptom spot as I thought I had tons last month but was obviously not! Hopefully I will be more patient this month! Who am I kidding!

 

[caz81]

hey ladies my symptoms are still pretty much the same, looking forward to friday so i can do some tests!!

I was thinking that statistically there is a 25% chance to conceive each month, which means our group is due some BFPs now!!!

 

[coral11680]

You're right caz! I think it also makes me feel better that the last 2 months weren't successful perhaps just because there is a 25% chance! I hope this month is it! Good luck I hope you get your BFP this cycle!

 

[jojosmami]

Morning!
Coral, I think u will really like charting. Puts mind at ease as far as if u have OVd or not and exactly when. Did u sign up w FF?
Cab, u might have already OVd. Rest assured u have BD covered. Just keep BDing until u get ur BFP or AF shows to make sure u have it completely covered. I agree w u on the OPKs. They made me crazy too.
Jojo, ur temp drop looks suspicious...just wait to see what tmrw brings. Implantation can occur 12 DPO too. Are u ok?

I tested and got a BFN. No surprise. It was fun to test though. I had some bad cramps last night. I just knew AF was coming.... still cramping today but not so bad. I will test again thurs if I make it.

Caz, how are u feeling? Any new symptoms?

Oh! I got my reading back. She said I would conceive in Dec. That part I didn't like but she mentioned some other things I hope r true. Oh, and ill have a girl. She is the 3rd who sd that ill have a girl.

I'm doing ok.Staying positive and if AF shows up then I guess it wasn't meant to be this month.I can live thru you guys though So you gonna test every other day? Who did your reading? 2 of my other TTC buddiess who got readings got their BFP this week and both there readings were right. I know they each used at least 2 of the ladies who do that and they were both right. I want one now! Would you mind telling me how you went about it?

 

[jojosmami]

I agree Caz!! We deserve it!!

 

[jojosmami]

Hey Coral didn't you get a prediction? Who did you use?

 

[mothercabbage]

hi again, i just have a strange feeling i already have O....but we'll see, ill keep doing the tests...and HPT on 16th and we'll see what that says xx

 

[coral11680]

jojo I used jenny renny, it was $8 i think. I hope she is wrong as she said I wont get my BFP until April!! She also said it was a baby boy, that's about all she said. I think Gail is supposed to be good. I wanted her but she was on vacation for 2 weeks and I didn't want to wait! I might get on next month from her if I dont get my BFP this month but hope I dont have to!

 

[Treykid3]

Coral, yes I can get cramps this early. It's weird because before all of this baby making I don't remember getting cramps until the day of AF. I do remember the mood swings, though! My DH remembers all too well (that's how he knew my cycle better than me). FF can be a little confusing but it has alot of useful info!

So this whole 25% stuff...how does it work? Do we have 25% chance every month of conceiving? Or do our chances get better over time?

Jojo, yeah I'll test every other day. My reading was from psychic123uk.com. $11. She is referred to as Gail on the message boards. Very positive outlook. I just don't think I can be so patient to wait until DEC!! I sent in my money and info on Sat and got my reading Monday evening. She says she only works during business hours.

Time to go get my babies from daycare!! I have no idea what to fix for dinner.

 

[mothercabbage]

morning :wave: the weather here (uk) is crap! rainy and cold....im going to have a lazy day (yea right)....hope you all have a great day xx

 

[jojosmami]

Well, ladies, I woke up this morning with my temps the same and spotting Its so crazy because I woke up this morning queazy again but I guess it is what it is. I had HORRIBLE cramps last night, almost called my Dr. cause they were so strong. Spotting is really light and hardly there and pink and cramps are gone but I'm guessing its because my temp is the same. But, it is what it is right? Always next month. My heart is still desperatly trying to hold out any hope possible trying to tell my self maybe its IB but my head is telling me to wake up and get over it! Its not to be this month. GL to the rest of you ladies!!! On to next month! Going to look up that preseed stuff. Where do I buy it? I really want to get a reading I just have to figure out a way to pay for it without my DH knowing. He is VERY against those types of things, he's cheap so wouldn't want to pay for it anyway, and our Ebay account is under his name. Any sugg ladies?

@Caz and Trey, have you guys tested?
@Cabbage, I know you said you had a couple OPK left, have you done anymore? Weather here in Philadelphia is suppose to be the same. It has rained for the last couple days and tomorrow its suppose to be Flooding Rains. We have been under a drought though its we need it. Plus, what's more fun for the kids then running and playing in the rain and playing in mudd?
@Coral, have you ever tried Preseed? Some of the other threads I'm on talk great about it. I think I'm gonna take a look at it today.Were also gonna do the SMEP! We can go it together!!
Thanks again ladies for all your positive thoughts and vibes!! Now my turn for all of you!!

 

[coral11680]

So sorry jojo I know how you feel, I was sure I was pregnant this month also. I still feel nauseus so it might be withdrawal from the pill?
There is still a chance of IB if you period isn't full flow?
I really hope we don't have to go through this any more months!!
On another thread a girl was emailing free copies of an ebook called "getting pregnant". I asked for one and she emailed it within a few minutes! I read it today it's only 44 pages I think. It does make you feel better as it explains that even for 2 healthy people it can take 4 or more months and thats the best case scenerio. It's an interesting read. I'm going to try the SMEP this month then might do what it suggests in the book for women with a normal length cycle. It says if you BD everyother day from CD7 until CD20 you should be covered.
Just remember you're not alone!
I don't know how you would pay for a reading without your hubby knowing. My hubby thought I was silly too and I was hoping he wouldn't notice it coming out the bank but of course he did!
The only thing with a reading is if they say it will take a long time it might make you feel worse, it did with me! I just keep telling myself she was wrong for a lot of others.

 

[jojosmami]

Yea, I was looking on the lady Gail's website and it says she does reading and "spells". The readings alone are pretty against everything I believe, but I guess I'm just so desperate to hear some kind of reassurance that I will get preggo again that I was grabbing and straws. But, "spells" and all that is way out of my comfort zone so I think I'm gonna go ahead and just stick to my beliefs, pray, and read up on all the ways to help me out. Def gonna try the Preseed and SMEP, keep temping and charting and hope for the best! We are gonna get ours in Oct Coral, Cabbage,Trey and Caz will get theirs to and then we can all be bump buddies, go thru our pregnancies together, and then one day all meet up and have our babies have a play date! ( ok, maybe I'm going a little far But a girl can dream right) At least the 1st part is gonna happen and we can work on the rest later!

 

[coral11680]

Yeah I know what you mean not sure I believe in spells, might be taking it a tad too far
Yeah will hopefully all get our BFP this month and be bump buddies! You never know I might be over there one day and we can meet up? Where in NC are you? My DH best buddy is a chiropractor there and my DH is a parrt owner in his practice, we may visit it in the next year or so, so we may meet!
Have you bought the pre seed? I might get some too.

 

[coral11680]

Der just realized you are in Philly!!! Well that's even closer to NJ so when we visit my mother in law and family we might be able to meet somewhere?

 

[jojosmami]

That would be so cool. We could all go to the Camden Aquarium or something. There is so many family things to do all around. What part of NJ do they live in? Haven't bought it yet but I saw that they sell it at the pharmacy near my house so I'm trying to bargin shop and see if it would be cheaper to buy it at the store or on a website. Have you checked if they sell it in a store near you?

 

[Treykid3]

Just a quick post fr my phone. My workplace cut me off!! Starting spotting a few minutes ago. I'm frustrated but what can I do?? It is what it is...like jojo said. Will send longer msg later.

 

[Treykid3]

okay, what I meant about my workplace cutting me off is that I can't get on BNB anymore...they blocked me. Maybe I'll get some work done now.

Sooooo.....on to the the next month. According to Melissa this is my month to conceive, so we will see what happens. I think I'll do the MotherCabbage approach but with charting.

It's rainy and cool, just like my mood.

Jojo, just keep praying. It's all in God's plan anyway and we can't do anything to change that. The psychic reading can be fun but it can be a thin line between entertainment and "what if". I kinda wish I didn't bother doing it....3 times.

I would love to be Bump Buddies with you guys. I'm glad I finally found some beautiful and positive people to go through all of this with. Jojo, I'm glad to see your PMA is high.

Coral, I'm the one in NC. Greensboro to be exact.

I hope everyone had a good night.

 

[caz81]

well I tested today and got a bfn, dont think its going to happen this month now so feeling down i had every symptom in the book & still a negative...feeling sorry for myself, just want to start next cycle now xx

 

[coral11680]

Jojo I've been to the Camden aquarium a few years ago and really liked it and would love to do it again? I might be over in nj next April. I used to live in edison. I might look pre seed up online and possibly get it this month or next.

Trey sorry to hear AF is on her way.It is hard and just remember you are not alone in this!

Caz, sorry to hear about your BFN, there is still time for a BFP though right?

I'm going to start testing with the OPK Saturday and should hopefully ovulate around Wednesday?

How is everyone today?
