[Oasis717]

Good luck Fi!! I've heard nothing but good things about it. Fingers crossed xxxx

 

[Soanxious]

Lol Regina! There was nothing on the last test I did so must be evaps xxx
Congrats So that's a def positive! Xxxx

Thanks hun... Lots more tired and heart pounding with this one and literally "just" pregnant..

just need this one to stick, 3rd time now xx Not telling OH, going to wait and see what happens, every time I seem to tell him it goes wrong

I've not been reading back over all posts well recent ones as popping in when not sleeping or busy with recovering from operation...(I had a Septorhinoplasty last week!!) hang on can that harm baby? anyways what are you testing? OPK or HGC? x

 

[crysshae]

So - I hope this one sticks for you! I know how ya feel. I've thought the same thing. Every time I tell DH, something goes wrong shortly after and I have to tell him bad news. The first two, my sister and daughter knew too. The first I told them about, and the second they guessed, since they knew we were going to try again and I was having trouble controlling my emotions about my sister's cat of all things. Lol. So, when that happened, I told them my doctor wanted bloodwork and that I didn't know if we were going to try again, so I wouldn't have them guessing anymore and having to tell all of them bad news if I had another MC.

Jo - I'm glad you're feeling well today. Enjoy your time with DH!

Fi - Good luck with accupuncture! I hope it does wonders for you.

Becks - Evaps are stupid! Hate that! It is still very early. Fingers crossed for you!

Happy Valentine's Day to all of you!

So I'm testing hcg and Brooklyn was third time so I'm really hoping the same goes for you xxxx
Thanks Crystal I know damn evaps! But I feel v pms like af cramps, tender boobs, starving and moody lol. So all I'm hoping for is an 11 plus lp. Xx

 

[crysshae]

Is it normal for you to get cramps this early before AF? All of that could be pg symptoms too...., or are yours usually different?

Us women always think of protecting others hey.. but what about us? hmm... and they wonder why we are daydreaming..

Oasis I have had cramping last few pregnancies so maybe its not just AF coming for you? Hopefully a sign of implantation?? too soon to test ? GL

3rd time lucky I hope.. Im not telling OH even thought normally it would be a lovely Valentines present I will see how it goes.. as I am early days xx

 

[Oasis717]

Thanks ladies, I've never gotten af cramps this early before having Brooklyn but I have to say I did before my last af for a few days and then before that I had af cramps for a week and then just a tiny spot of blood. Soooo hmm I'm taking it that it's just like the last cycle, if my temps go up tomorrow I might feel a bit more optimistic but ATM I do feel like af is coming although, yes, it's also early pregnancy symptoms too I know but unless I get that unmistakeable let down feeling in my boobs and burning nipples I've had with each pregnancy I won't be convinced lol. It does make me wonder how so much bd can not result in a pregnancy! Oh well we are having fun trying lol xxxxx

 

[Oasis717]

Crystal our charts are v similar right now lol xxx

 

[crysshae]

Lol! And you are definitely trying!

Our charts are similar. Your's is still very high though, even if it did drop today.

My temp is most likely wrong today. I was up at 4:30, awake again at 5:30, dozed, awake again from 5:45 to about 6:20, then took my temp at 6:50 like usual...so it's probably way off.

 

[Oasis717]

Yeah me too Hun I didn't sleep til 2.30am then was up at 4.30 til 5 then again at 6 then 7! So didn't get 3 hours before. The weather is so so bad here it's frightening, absolutely monsooning it down outside with gale force winds xxxxx

 

[crysshae]

Yuck! I hope the weather gets better for y'all soon. My issue was just the goofy cat!! He's going to drive me crazy. Every time I see him sleeping today, I wake him up.

 

[josie1234]

Hi all, the weather is certainly rotten, hope you are all keeping safe.

Let's see what the next day or so brings eh? Will be watching your charts with interest. I am going to ring acupuncturist. Did you ring up or go in? I think am just wondering what to expect, bit worried/nervous. More EWCM today and another pos. Had a lovely day today but I have eaten far too much (not healthy either lol) so I am feeling stuffed.

So - it's looking good hun, hope it's a sticky one!

 

[dancareoi]

Becks thought I could see lines on both!

So, sending lots of sticky dust your way

Jo, hope you have managed to sort and acupuncturist. Way I see it is it can't do any harm but if you tell them the whole story they should be able to help

Hope everyone is staying dry and not having problems with flooding

We are fine here as we are not near any rivers. We are very close to 3 lakes but they have an overflow system but if they did flood there is a big dip the water would go into and we are at top of this so no chance of flooding here.

It's very windy here tonight though.

Caitlin's spots are really scabbing now and some have faded so she doesn't look so bad now so I think we are getting there.

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend.

 

[Oasis717]

I think they were evaps Lisa, nothing on any since! Ah well. We are up high here so no flooding but the rain was in sheets an literally horizontal earlier dh went to get us KFC in it and had to stay in the shop for half hour it was so bad! Glad Caitlin seems to be on the mend bless her. Xxxxx

 

[Sparkle125]

Happy Valentine's Day to you all! This time last year, I was pregnant and celebrated with my Valentine in my tummy. Sigh. At least this year I can have champagne with my chocolate covered strawberries!

So: Looks really promising!

Crystal: I am in Austin. Where are you?

I am happy you ladies are opening up to acupuncture. I am a believer. It does not hurt. It is so relaxing that sometimes I am more relaxed than after a massage. I hope everyone has a good experience!

I am really hoping some of these OPKs pop! I am ready for another BFP!

AFM: Well, Hell. I went to the doctor today in hopes of getting the green light to move forward with my next IVF cycle. Even though it is nearly impossible while taking the medication I am taking, I have managed to defy the odds once again, and I have another DAMN cyst. This means that I have to wait for it to go away before I can start my next cycle. There is nothing I can do at this point except wait. I go back to the doctor on Feb. 26th to check again. SO frustrating! In the meantime, I leave for a business meeting in Las Vegas on Sunday and will be there until Friday. That is a LONG time to be in Vegas and it really is mostly work, although I will find time to have fun as well. Off to pour myself another glass of sparkles and have another chocolate covered strawberry to drown my frustrations. Poo.

 

[crysshae]

I'm sorry about the cyst. I hope your next appt brings better news. I live in a small town south of Fort Worth. Enjoy your Valentine's treats.

 

[dancareoi]

Sparkle , enjoy your treats. Sounds good to haves business trip to Vegas !

DH and I have been 3 times, purely pleasure though. We absolutely loved it, but its been 13 since we went , there's a chance our first son may have been conceived there!

Hope things get sorted, its so frustrating to want to do something so badly, but things you can't control get in the way xx

 

[Oasis717]

Yay Jo you got an ovulation day woo hoo!!!!!!!! Xxxxx

 

[josie1234]

Morning hope you are all ok. Weather is horrendous. I woke up a couple of times due to the really bad gale force winds. Very scarey.

Lisa glad that Caitlin's scabs are starting to go. I am wondering whether to wait til this cycle has finished before I go to acupuncturist. What do you think? Cycle seems to be sorting itself out hopefully and yay nearly cried when Becks told me I had ov Crosshairs on chart. I didn't even realise until I looked just now.

As always see what temps do over next few days.
So and Crystal - how are you both?

Hope you enjoy your trip Sparkle and your treats too. So sorry about the cyst. Hope you don't have to wait too.long.

Becks good to see a bit of a rise in temp.x
