What dpo day is ok 2 start testing? Lol

 

[Brookegarrett]

hmm usually 10 dpo is what ive heard?

 

[Brookegarrett]

lol DH doesnt believe in "quickies" i wish he did...its a LONG drawn out thing..but im not complaining...just grouchy today..im sooo moody today..

 

[DaisyBee]

That is one good thing about the opks.... It gives you the ok to stop bding vs not knowing and then you feel like you should keep bding just incase. I got pregnant 2ce with oks and 2ce without. Cramping is a great sign! Good luck Brooke!


Mon... I test early too ... Too tempting not to with the tests in house! What's your earliest bfp?

 

[bastetgrrl]

HAHA I got a good laugh about the quickie comment. Thank GOD for quickies. We've been BDing every other day and I really wasn't feeling it tonight but DH knew it was THE NIGHT so he was ready and willing. And all I can say is thank GOD for quickies. LOL

And talking about testing early, I tested positive on dpo 9 and was SO shocked. I only took the test to get it out of my house so that I wouldn't be tempted to test on my bday.

Since my dr still has me coming in for bloodwork I'm not buying any tests. Can't have those things in the house...too tempting! I think that I oed earlier this week so my next appt is in two weeks and I'll wait to see what happens then.

Good luck ladies. Lots of sticky dust for all of us!!

My earliest BFP was at 9 DPO which is just 3 days away! I'm actually getting some significant cramping tonight. It was towards the ovaries earlier, right now it's toward the middle of my pelvic region.

I won't get too excited though because it could easily be the prog. giving me cramps.

That's good, you're a lucky girl! DH likes to take his time too. Sometimes I get tired but most of the time it's a lot of fun.

Daisy, you're well within your right to be nervous, the 6 week mark will come and go very quickly im sure, even though it probably doesn't feel that way now.

brooke - i wont test, no opks, and i am waiting until af is late, or atleast the day af should arrive, i just dont the energy to see another bfn. dh decided to go camping this weekend, i cant wait to get away for a few days, dh's family is coming to visit for a week, they will be staying with us, (with a 3 month old!) it will be hard not to be jealous of the baby.. but it will also be a looooooooooong week, we all know how having family in our home can be, our place is not big by any means, so squeezing 3 more in will be tough, so it will be nice to have time away before we commit to entertaining his fam

 

[Brookegarrett]

Well I truly just wish this year would end.. I have lost two big things in my life I lost our first baby together n I also failed out of RN school I have nvr made below a B in anything but with the wedding pregnant kids n work it was too much... I hope to go back one day.. I'm hopin maybe i can talk thehubby into a quickie good luck ladies Kate try to enjoy ur Fun wkend we may go to the zoo

 

[TxMom2Be]

Brooke - I'm sorry you've had such a hard year, hopefully 2012 will bring a happy and healthy bundle of joy for us all!

Mon - Good luck on your testing!

Luckily when I took my first hpt we were in Mexico on our destination wedding. Once all of our 25 guests had left (we stayed for an additional week) and af was late, it dawned on us to buy some tests, if you've been to Mexico you know there are pharmacy's on every corner! This time around I don't have a wedding and a gorgeous beach to distract me, but I think I'm still going to try to wait to test until I suspect af is late!

I'm so sorry Brooke, 2012 is going to be a great year hun, you'll see!

 

[kgriffin]

so camping plans fell through, people are so flaky sometimes, im new to this province and dh and i are always meeting other couples, but they are pretty flaky, and it can be frustrating, especially when your family lives on the other side of the country

 

[Mon_n_john]

OH MY GOD ladies, I just heard back from my RE's nurse. My test results are in for the immunity blood panel: My RIP test for CD 56-16+ ANK came back very high at 20.6. That is why I am having all these miscarriages! I finally have a reason!!! And there is a treatment, oh my god, I'm shaking. I don't know if to cry or laugh but I am so happy to have a reason.

 

[futurephotos]

Mon - that's great that you finally have an answer & thankfully it's treatable too! I'm excited that you'll get the help you need to have a sticky baby!!

 

[Mon_n_john]

Thank you future, I don't think I have ever been this happy. I finally know, I finally know. The treatment is IVIG which is immunoglobin therapy. I am sure it will be a fortune and insurance won't cover it but the success rate is 80%. I have such a great feeling everything is going to be OK now.

My next appt. with my specialist is on August 15th (she's on vacation now) and I can't wait to see her to get started!

Iam really so happy that you have an explanation and even better that there is a treatment for you. Totally fantastic

 

[DaisyBee]

Kate....sorry the camping fell through. Maybe you 2 just go and have a cozy weekend?

Brooke... I'm sure this year will be great for you! I'm trying hard not to dwell in the past so you aren't allowed to either!!

Mon that is such great news!!! They found something and it's treatable! You must just be jumping On your bed kind of excited right now! So this only affects worse at times? As you have 2 kids right? Crazy how this stuff all works.

Was having a playdate yesterday with dh's cousin. She has 2 kids and pregnant with her 3rd which was unplanned and not really wanted as they decided 2 was enough but wa in-between birth control for only 1 1/2 weeks and was breastfeeding and fell pregnant. Her youngest is 9 monthish? We talked about my miscarriages and her brother and his wife had 2 miscarriages before finding out she has a blood issue and had to give herself shots during pregnancy. She doesn't know if she can handle going through pregnancy, delivery again but her dh really wants more. Then Her sister has been ntnp since giving birth to her daughter who is 2 and ttc for 1 year. No luck. Her best friend has been ttc for 3 years with drs help and no luck. It's one thing in life we have so little control over. And it's something most people don't talk about. She is the only one I really have been open about my ttc and miscarriages besides my mom. But it amazed me too that she knew nothing of how opks even worked or when in your cycle you ovulate and really basic things about ttc. She just bd normally and fell pregnant.

Thank you Heavyheart and Daisy!

As for my condition it's actually believed that with each subsequent mc my body may become more effective at fighting foreign material. There is no doubt that my last son is an absolute miracle! How he was born is beyond me. I am so grateful!

 

[kgriffin]

you're right Daisy, its completely out of our hands and out of our control, all we can do is hope for the best.

Have you guys watched the great sperm race? I saw it last night, incredible really, if you havent, search it on youtube, its worth the time to watch.

I'm so relieved that you got answers and there is treatment. This is wonderful news!
