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

Not as good as I thought. Well, I knew one of my AUnts and one of my Cousins would be happy for me, which is great. The Aunt who is like my mom was like " What?!??!? Does Carlos ( my DH) know? What the hell are you gonna do now? OMG Shannon. What are you gonna do?" Like I robbed a bank or something. When I explained we were trying she just gave me this look like I was crazy. I put her in her place by asking why we shouldn't have another baby and she said "well, I don't know?" That's what I thought. She called me back to tell me she was happy for us, I think my Uncle (who is one of my fav men in the whole world) talked some sense into her. My grandparents didn't even answer their phone, my sister was super excited but then told me she's jealous because I'm on my 3rd and she doesn't have any. Mind you, she's in Med assistant school, lives alone and doesn't even have a boyfriend and is constantly asking my Aunt and Uncle for money for gas and to eat:wacko: My other Uncle said " Again? Holy Shit? Your gonna pop out another one? WTF? You got a factory over there?" Maybe its hard for them because they still see me as 6 and not 26? After the 3rd bad reaction I just stopped calling people and put it on facebook! That way they can have their reaction in private and just say Congrats! I know once it gets farther along they will be happy for me and get excited too. Maybe that's why It doesn't upset me to bad. I just wish they were a little more excited because I know my mom would be jumping up and down right now. Oh well, I got you ladies and I'm super, duper, incredibly excited so that's all that matters!
 
Good morning ladies! TGIF!
Caz digi looks great!
So, cab when do u test?
Coral, I found on FF that I can email my chart to u so if that's an option let me know. Next Friday is a long time when in the 2WW. I'll tell u what, it doesn't go any faster after u get ur BFP!
Jojo, how did the fam react?! I think ill tell mine at Christmas since we will there (fl) for the holiday. I told my mom Wed. She is excited. My DH told his mom last night. She seems more concerned about how my youngest will feel. Oh I'm sorry...can i get a congrats, pls! Damn. That's why I want to keep it to myself as long as I can. I dont have the stomach to take all the snide comments.

Anyway, I'm quite moody this morn and am experiencing constipation for the 1st time...yea! Not really ...I rather have the nausea.

Hope u guys r having a great morning!
 
YEa, I got the same type of reaction from my family. I was just telling Cb what happened in my post above yours so you can go ahead and read the lovely ( NOT) comments I got! I'm excited for you hunni!! CONGRATS TREY!!!!! CONGRATS!!!!!!! :haha: I feel the same way you do! I thought a new baby in the family was suppose to be a blessing! I guess I just wanted everyone in my family to be jumping up and down, happy and excited! oh well, their loss! Are you tired? I'm so exhausted I literally feel like I can't keep my eyes open, and I want to cry!! I don't know how I'm going to get thru this day?
 
:hug: jojo....its probably the reaction id get from my family too so your not alone sweetie...:friends::hugs::hug:
@trey, im doing a little testing experiement! :haha: im going to be NTNP next cycle if i dont get my :bfp: this cycle so im using all of my OPKs before i start the real testing with HPT. the reason im trying to test with OPK is b/c ive read online that women can get +opk when they are pregnant, so i thought id give it a go, i know that opk are not relaiable for pregnancy testing its just a bit of fun and something to keep me occupied while the "real" testing begins, and plus ive got to get rid of the opk by my next (possible) cycle. otherwise i would be tempted to get into the whole TTC thing and totally forget about organising xmas!!!.. x
 
jojo - sending you loads of :hugs::hugs::hugs:

Cab - OPKs can work - I got a BFP with my daughter at 12DPO on a OPK and then did a pregnancy test and was also positive. Ive not done any this time but I have loads so I will do one tomorrow morning and let you know what it shows!!
 
:flower:
I lost my post because i lost connection while it was going through.

I'm the last one up! Jojo, I used to be very tired but the last couple of days I've been able to stay awake later. Don't know what that is about. How did your day end up? How was your FB response?

So Cab, you are switching to NTNP because of the holidays?

Coral...yea for crosshairs!

Caz, how are you feeling, hun? Have been over to the other side yet?

:dust:
 
My FB response was way better than my actual family response. But I know they will come around. Was craving Taco Bell all day, right after I ate it I got :sick: then got out of the car at walmart and :sick: again. My hubby made me carry a bag around the store because I had to keep running to the bathroom! And you know how disgusting the public bathrooms in Walmart are!!! Glad to hear you have more energy. I've been drinking one or two cups of coffee a day but before I found out I would drink a pot each day so think that 2 cups is realistic right now!
 
I was going to ask you about the coffee. I have continued having my morning coffee, but I cut out my afternoon caffeine fix.
 
morning all :wave:
yea ill be NTNP over xmas, i dont think obsessing over TTC is a good idea for me, id never get xmas organised, ill prob still try for :sex: if i get O pains, but no more counting days and poas...need a break if i dont get :bfp: next week.
symptoms....lumpy tender BB...could be af gearing up to show, and CM has just about dried up, so i dont think i will get :bfp:still going to poas (opk) for the next couple of days, including today....OPK with FMU @8dpo...nothing! but fed my poas addiction for now!:haha:

Do you know what cab - my cm was loads for the first few days after ovulation and then dried up and im pretty sure Trey said the same thing to so you are following the same pattern as us at the moment.

I was ready apparently OPKS will not get progressivly darker on the lead up to a BFP, they may well stay with nothing and then suddenly you will get a positive after nothing the day before and they dont show a positive until much after a HPT as well.

I did an OPK today as promised, in fact I did 2, in the same pot of urine and one came up positive and one negative so I dont think they are very reliable as HPTs!!
 
I did my last FRER today, top test is 2 days ago, bottom test is today:

morning girls, sorry I wasnt on really yesterday!

@Cab, like the opk test its your fix for your poas addiction for the day:thumbup::haha: I know what you mean about xmas, but dont go too far away I'd miss you!:kiss::hugs:
Well I start the night job next monday the 15th so if I dont get my bfp this cycle next month will be ntnp like you cab, with working 4 nights a week i wont be able to temp or bd very much so will be hard to ttc.

@jojo, sorry some of your family reacted bad, at the end of the day its your family and your life so why shouldnt people be happy for you...CONGRATS!!! I'm happy for you!:happydance::hugs:

@Trey, you also CONGRATS~!!!!!:happydance::hugs:

I have no symptoms yet apart from the odd cramps here and there but that could be gas :blush: Also last night when I was out my legs ached really bad even though I was sitting most of the time but prob not preg related:shrug:

@Caz, what happened at the midvife app? or was it just a doc app?
 
It was a drs appointment - she listened to my heart & lungs, looked at my test (lol) did my edd & went through things I could & couldnt eat/do and warning signs to look out for and then booked me in for midwife on the 25th November. It was quite good actually as at my old drs the dr would not even see you you just had to wait until the midwife app at about 8 weeks.
 
Forgot to say, funny thing was she kept going on about twins which made me laugh as I know it has been mentioned with JoJo & Trey as well - imagine if we all have twins on this thread :haha::haha:
 
@caz...thanx for the opk info...im just using them so im not tempted next (possible) cycle...and loving the frer!!!! :thumbup:
@coral...dont worry im not going to leave you!:kiss:i would miss you too!!! ill still come on here, and stalk you on facebook! :haha: are you looking forward to starting your new job? xx
