mothercabbage - have you tried more sensitive OPKS? I know a website that does them if you want a link? Apparently they generally work for people who the normal ones just show negative all the way through

Im feeling a bit more positive now, was so upset this morning!!

 

[mothercabbage]

Goodmorning ladies! Well, I'm very sad to say the freaking showed up this morning Still not as heavy as usual for the first day of my cycle. It is what it is and as my hubby put it last night, God will give us what we want when HE wants. Well, that was the speech I got when I was telling him about the pre-seed. He doesn't understand why I want to buy it because we've only been TTC for 2 months. He wants to try this month w/ nothing and then if it doesn't happen we can buy the Pre seed. But, I say, why not? I was always taught if your going to do something do it right, and the best you can. So, why not? Been so emotional, I gave him a piece of my mind and it wasn't the most pleasnat of nights. But, I know I will get what I want in the end! I think he puts up a fight just to make him self feel like "the man" before he gives inJust want to say thank you ladies again for all your support, good vibes, & PMA!! So, on to the next month for me, I'm going to use Pre-Seed ( I will get it!), do the SMEP and keep charting. I think I may have to skip the OPK's this month if I get the pre-seed. Which do you think I should get? FF says the my Luteal Phase is 13 days. Is that bad? Is that too short? Have any of you ladies tried Pre-seed or heard anything about it?
@Trey, really hope its just IB and not the Isn't it a little early to be getting your AF? I thought you were only 8dpo the other day?
@Caz, you ok? Do you think it could just still be too early to get your bfp? Any signs of AF? Keep your chin up! PMA & You still have a chance!
@Coral, what kind of OPK's are you using?Are you going to link your FF chart to your siggy? We love the aquarium too! April is my son's birthday month. How cool would that be!
@Cabbage, fingers xx'd for you hunni!! How long is your cycle? IF you O'd on CD6 then do you have a short cycle?
Well, ladies, time to start over! A fresh start can never be a bad thing I always say. A new start means new goals,new dreams and a blank slate to a new journey with endless possiblites! UUghhh! Trying to be positive is so hard with these cramps Have a great day ladies. GOing to take the kids to play in the rain!

aww jojo sending you tons of Im like you, I want to have a plan to get things sorted but my hubby is like yours and says it will all happen in Gods time and his plan is much better than the one that we have for us.

No af for me yet but i dont know, symptoms seem to be going for me so think she will turn up on sunday as expected when i was pregnant with dd i just knew even before i did a test, dont feel like that so much this month.

hubby had an interview for a new job the other day but didnt get it, he found out today, which is rubbish as he has a big commute with his job he does at the moment and has to get up at 4am, this new job was just round the corner, so still early mornings for him! which also makes ttc harder as he is always tired grrr!!!!

oh CAZ u ok now? xxxxxx

yeah mine get lighter once i ovulate, sounds like you are covered if you ovulated early this month xxx

 

[mothercabbage]

i think my cycle is 28 days..it used to be before BC and its only my 1st cycle off BC so im not sure...ive been getting achy pains in lower tummy today at both sides, burning a bit too...not sure what that is if i think i O on CD6....maybe its just AF getting ready to show and i only had a short cycle? who knows...i dont have any more OPK so i wont be doing one tomorrow....going to stay away from them now...they make me crazy.....
n to all xxxxxx

Morning Ladies

Jojo I'm just using OPK I got off of ebay from a company called fertility plan so they are cheapies. I will use my first tomorrow afternoon. I hope they don't confuse me more this month if I don't get a positive! How do you add your cahrt to your sig on here? I have only temped for 3 days so wont be very interesting but as the month goes on might be??

Trey, how are you today?

Caz, are you testing again today?

Cabbage I normally have 28 day cycles off BC also but the first month off the pill was 30 then last month was 28 so hoping it stays like that now. Well, actually hoping AF doesn't come for 9 months!

to us all!

 

[jojosmami]

I do feel better thank you ladies. Lots of craziness going on here now. Rained here for 2 days in a row and last night no power and everything is flooded! Had to have the police come and evacuate everyone, schools are closed, people are in shelters etc. Its not just my town its all over my area, up to 40 mins away from my house. My home is ok thank God! Just some water in the basement but nothing like the people across the street. The river is their back yard so they got completely flooded out. It really makes you think about what is important in life when you get a knock at the door @ 3:00am telling you to evacuate. But, God blessed us and we are fine and so is our home. Gonna be alot of clean up today for so many people.This happened 4 yrs ago on 4th of July weekend but It was MUCH worse, the lady next door didn't have a pump in her basement and the water flooded so bad her entire basement was a big water container and it actually came and flooded her 1st floor as well. Cars were floating down our street, and the police actually had boats with motors to evacuate people because the current was so strong and people were fishing from their porches.So glad it wasn't like that this time! On a happier note ( Who would have thought talking about my AF would be happy but...) AF has calmed down and besides being tired feeling better.
@Caz, sorry to hear about the job your hubby was going for. How does he feel about it? I'm sure you guys will be able to make time to . How do you feel today? You gonna test again?
@Coral, if you go to the sharing tab on the side of your chart you can get your code and put it in your siggy.
@Trey, did you test again?
@Cabbage how you feeling?

morning ladies I tested again this morning and bfn again I think im going to wait until sunday now and test then. Last night i was checking my cervix and it was low & hard, normally when that happens in a couple of hrs i get af, didnt and when i checked today it had gone high and soft again - any ideas?

mothercabbage - i think it sounds to me like you are ovulating now, maybe your body tried on cd6, didnt release teh egg and is trying again now?

wow jojo-sounds like some craziness your end, hope things are ok now!!

Coral - looking forward to seeing your bfp on your opks soon - internet cheapies have always worked fine for me!!

 

[coral11680]

Jojo, sorry to hear the bad weather you are having, I spoke to my MIL this morning and she said the weather in NJ is awlful too! Glad to hear your house has no damage, must be terrible for the people who have all that damage! Now lets hope AF leaves soon so you can start BD and OPK!

Caz, sorry about your BFN, try again the weekend hun.

I did an OPK today even though I'm only CD9, it was negative with a faint line so will keep testing until I hopefully get a positve!

 

[jojosmami]

Thanks. Yea on the news it said it was on its way there. HOw is the weather out there this time of year? Have you ever used OPK's before?

 

[jojosmami]

[coral11680]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Maybe you are ovulating today, good luck and happy

 

[Treykid3]

Hi Ladies,
I feel so behind, let's see if I can catch up...

Cabbage, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! With the time difference I am late, so Happy Belated. I hope you caught that !! So, you are on your first cycle after BC? I'm trying to remember how long it took me to conceive my DS after being on BC (off and on, mostly on) for 15 years. It may have taken 2 months. Not as long as everyone had told me.

Jojo, Feeling better, huh?? I think I figured out why the days right before AF are so hard. PMS! plus the hope/stress of a is enough to make anyone go Then afterward all is calm and even though we are sad PMA shows up again! It's because those darn hormones have leveled off again. I haven't taken a look at the weather so I'm not sure if you are getting rain still. How are you guys up there? It finally feels like fall here....nice....my favorite time of the year. It's when I met and married my DH and it's a season I never had in FL.

Coral, you are at what I think is the fun part of the cycle. Time to a lot!! I should know this but how long has everyone been TTC?

Caz, you still have time to get your I'm not sure how the cervix thing works. I tried what you guys told me but I didn't feel anything.

I am CD 3 today. Later that day I started spotting, I got a full flow. I think it's already over though. I used to have 3 day periods...maybe I'm back to that schedule. DH and I are going away for our anniversary and it will be right around my fertile period so FX.
Random thought - I have gained some weight so I am going to go back on my diet...need to lose 5 lbs. Looking at my stomach, you would think I was already pregnant.
Another random thought - While sitting at lunch with my TWO pregnant friends, I realized that I REALLY want to be preggo - now! I just can't believe it has taken this long. I'm starting to think my age is playing a factor in that. Oh, well.

I hope everyone has an awesome weekend!!
