TTC Lucky Conkers!-Our first Conker has been born!!

Ok scrap the loss of symptoms, I've just eaten a block of cheese. I was looking through my old ttc journal and I had a craving for cheese at about 16 dpo last time!!! :thumbup: ???
 
hahah first of all... you are adorable!

Secondly... YAY!!! :hugs: Stay positive, and bring on the cheese ;)

I think you have no convinced me to journal. I just don't know if I want it public or not?!?! If I journal, then I definitely will be using it to symptom spot... hmmm

Hee hee thanks :blush:
 
*now. You have now convinced me. Not "no"

oops
 
I think the journals are only seen by members of the forum??
I find t a great record of everything, so now I have a very detailed diary of my last ttc, almost every day of my pregnancy and also each day of F and her milestones. It will be great to refer to if I get a next time....do it!! I will be your first stalker!

If eating a ton of cheese is a pregnancy symptom I have been pregnant a lot!! Haha jk. I hope this is a good sign for you! :dust:


I keep getting faint OPKs and I expected positive by now. I have Od on CD 10 to CD 14 in tr past and tomorrow is CD14 so I would have expected to catchy surge by now. Hmmmm. I did have a chemical last cycle where I was getting faint BFPs and was 4 days late for AF. Could be throwing things off I suppose.
 
Hey ladies! Well AF showed her face!:growlmad::growlmad: DH said that it would be nice if we conceived next month or December since those are our birthday months. I told him yea it would be nice but I was saying it like I don't believe it is going to happen. I hope it will happen in due time. I will be trying again next month.

Tomorrow morning I go take the background check for the preschool aid position, HR called me today and explain everything I have to do tomorrow. I just wish it was more hours and a higher wage, but hey this is a start for me to so I can put recent work experience. Next year I think I will be done with my Bachelor's in Healthcare Management since I have to pay out of pocket now but only for 5 courses.

I will keep my FX for the rest of you ladies to get your BFP!! :dust::dust:

Night ladies, I will be watching Grey's Anatomy and Scandal tonight, that will take my mind off it!:hugs::hugs:
 
Good luck, Twinklie!! Lots of bding, I assume as a precaution?!?!?

:dust: your way :)
 
Momwife, I am so sorry!!

I am glad to hear you are going to keep trying though! No fun to see af. Sounds like you DH is being so sweet and looking at the bright side. The other bright side is another round of lots of bding!

I hope you are staying in this thread, so we can all keep up with each other. :hugs:

Enjoy your shows! :flower:

I will keep trying, even if it takes up to a 1 year, but I hope it doesn't. DH don't want me to get down about it, he says we have plenty of time! Yes, I am staying in this thread! I love this thread!! I am catching up on my shows since I missed them yesterday and the new episodes come on tomorrow night.
 
Princesskell: When are you testing? You are 16 dpo, right? How long is your luteal phase typically? Getting anxious to hear your results :)

That's so funny!! I hope that's a definite sign!

You should definitely keep a journal! It helps when you need to get something out and there's no one you can really talk to.

Oh that sucks!! :hugs: Its okay though. I'm sending lots of baby dust your way :dust:

:shhh: It always helps my daughter when I sprinkle magic fairy dust on her pillow to keep the bad dreams away and its been working for over a month so I'm pretty sure my magic dust is very powerful. :winkwink:

:dust: :dust: :dust: Dust for all of you ladies!!!!


I'm still waiting on AF. I got my pre-AF right upper thigh pain and major bb soreness. I'm thinking I won't need to test tomorrow because that witch will probably show up, but I'll let you know.
 
Awww hopettc3, if she does come, at least she didn't play games with you. If I don't conceive right away, I at least hope that :witch: just comes, on schedule, we greet each other, go through the motions, and then she can be on her horrible way to make room for another attempt. I keep reading stories from people who are 3 months late, bfn, usually regular cycles, etc.

Of course I want pregnancy to happen right away, but if it doesn't, I just want my answer-- even a "no". I am praying that we all just get our answers. Hopefully those are :af: and :bfp:, but better knowing instantly than a long wait. Having said that, I am sending you some :dust: through the computer. It should be arriving instantly. This stuff is extra powerful, so hopefully it will scare af away ;)

Fun Question of the Day:

What 5 books would you hope to be stuck with on a desert island? Explain why you chose each, please, so we can get to know each other further :)

1) Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's (Philosopher's) Stone: The first in the series means it contains the beautiful details I enjoy the most. They talk about the classes so well, you feel like you are in the lecture. This book goes into detail about the food, the shops, the journey, and every other bit of imagery you could crave.
2) Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: The longest of the series, but it ties up all the loose ends. The amount of questing and adventure makes me never get tired of it. I frequently have this one playing in my car on tape. Then I will get home from work and read it in my free-time. Plus!!! If I am stuck on an island, why not read about people stuck in hiding? I'm a Potterhead/Potterphile, and I know it.
3) Pride and Prejudice: I loved this from the moment I opened the book. I love the back-and-forth, the miscommunications, and I married a Mr. Darcy (minus insulting my family)-- painfully quiet and passive haha. This is an easy grab from my book wall.
4) The Hobbit: I love this book for its adventure. I read it when I was in 7th grade, and the amount of detail we had to put into our report was remarkable. I remember having to write an analysis of each page on a sticky note to be used for our report. The teacher checked! hahah You think I would hate it, but it made me appreciate everything. I never get tired of this book. Plus, similar to the first book in the HP series, it is riddled with detail that the LOTR trilogy cannot be bothered with (also like the other books in HP after #1), due to the immense plotline. I love reading about the shape of a house, the color of hair, the grains of the wood, etc. This would be lovely to pass time with. It is a rather slow read, even for how wonderful it is, so it is easy to savor.
5) The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide: Five Complete Novels and One Story: I own this version, and I love it. It's my sense of humor, it's random, and it is just confusing enough in parts to make it another savory book. Read it twice in my life, and I plan on reading it a few more times :)

Those are my choices. I obviously would have gone with a book on edible plants or survival guides, but for the purposes of this game, those are not allowed. You don't have to detail you books as much as I did either, but I thought I would give you a glimpse into me, my personality, and now that you've seen it, you can never go back :winkwink:

Have fun!!!

Chocolate is my thing...so that's why I noticed it was something unusual!!

Lots of dtd and I hope you get the positive soon :hugs:

sorry to hear that momwife...keep up the positive attitude, it will happen when it's time.
I LOVE Grey's Anatomy but I've fallen behind on the seasons a bit, I have a whole boxset from my birthday I haven't even started yet :dohh:
Enjoy the distraction and I hope :witch: is not too rough :hugs:

Princesskell: When are you testing? You are 16 dpo, right? How long is your luteal phase typically? Getting anxious to hear your results :)
apparently I'm 12dpo today, but it's only based on 2 previous cycles and guess work really. I have dtd'd pretty much all cycle so whenever I o'd there was hopefully some swimmers around!! :haha:
If things don't work out this time I might try tracking o more next cycle.
Don't know when to test as we go away on Saturday for a week and don't want to do it the morning we go as I'm not expecting af until that day and I figure a bfn might put a downer on our trip?i will take the hpt with us?

Oh that sucks!! :hugs: Its okay though. I'm sending lots of baby dust your way :dust:

when was af due again? It sounds to me like those af signs have gone on way too long to be af signs?? Did you do another test today? Fxd:hugs:
 
Ok my 5 books...
1) Chicken Soup for the Soul... The stories get me everytime!
2) The Girl With the Dragon Tatoo...not my usual style of book, but it kept me hooked and I enjoyed the change.
3) Memoirs of a Geisha...so much better than the film.
4) PS I Love You...again the film was a let down, I cried my eyes out reading this whole book!
5) Texas by James Michener...I read a few of these massive novels mainly to please my late grandad who loved them. I loved the discussions with him after I'd finished but found them a bit of a chore. I remember this as my favourite of the books and when my grandad passed away earlier this year I found myself digging this back out to read again and feel close to him.
 
Oh I love it!! And what a special memory to have with a book! :hugs:
 
What 5 books would you hope to be stuck with on a desert island?

1. The Eyes of the Dragon by Stephen King: It's not a horror book which I was surprised about, but it has a lot of adventures, mystery and suspense.

2. Alex Cross Run by James Patterson: I have read this book twice and I love it since it is full of suspense, it has plenty of twists and turns.

3. Pleasure by Eric Jerome Dickey: It is a trashy book that I just could not simply put down. I wanted to know how this woman could want so much pleasure with different people.

4. A Game of Thrones by George R R Martin: It was very hard for me to choose which one book. I still have to purchase the rest of the books. I started reading these books when the series came out on HBO, and I was enjoying the series, so when the 1st season was over I purchased 1 of the books and ever since I am hooked. Now I just have to get caught up on the series, which I will start today! LOL!

5. The China Study: It is a health book that I read many years ago, it taught me plenty of great health choices but now I do not follow. I would read this again since I love reading health books. I also remember in college, we were debating about this book. It was such a long debate.
 
I need to read Game of Thrones! So many new books for me to look into hahah That was my plan all along-- just acquiring a new list of books :winkwink:
