Aw, Lucky

I agree, big hugs all around!!!

Had a nice day today. Went to my sister's for a bbq w/ my parents, and got to play with my niece and nephew a lot and hold my baby niece. She'll be 2 weeks old tomorrow. She's such a good little baby. I'm told she might have my eyes, which I think is the sweetest thing.

Speaking of nieces, I hope you all don't mind if I ask for a very big favor. My niece, Ariana, is in a Parents magazine photo shoot contest, and she is #99 at the moment (out of 60,000). Today is the last day to vote. If you don't mind voting, I'd appreciate it so much. You just have to click the link, type whatever the phrase is and hit submit. Thanks so much!!

Thanks so much, Squirrel!! My dad took that pic. Ari is one of the twins...my sister was going to put my nephew in, but she asked him and he got all indignant and mad and yelled "no model!" They crack me up.

 

[parkgirl]

Voted. Beautiful!!

 

[Tanikit]

What a cute photo - wouldn't let me vote though, maybe its cause I live where I do?

I am still off work til tomorrow and am very glad about that. 13dpo today and haven't started spotting yet (at least I am not spotting preAF now) I wish this cycle will end though (though I'd rather be pregnant)

Fudgie is doing well - I think its just the way he is now. He and my DD adore each other. DH and I are not doing so well but that is normal for this stage of my cycle.

well over the weekend i couldnt DTD because my toncelitus got worse and now i can hardly talk, i wish the tablets will hurry up and work its not fair

My temp chart is playing silly buggers.... looks vaguely reminiscent of ovulatory action, but I'm just not sure.... its almost a week early...
Guess I'll have to wait and see!

 

[Tanikit]

Well I decided to waste a test today just before I went to fetch my DD from preschool and there is a very very faint line!

I saw it almost immediately but it was so faint I thought I was kidding myself, so I left it a few more minutes and it got a bit darker. I did take a picture, but seem to have lost the cord to get it onto the computer so will post it when I find the cord - not sure it will be visible on here though. I am still sceptical because this is so unlike how I felt when I was pregnant with my DD - I am still sure AF will show so will test again in 2 days time (or maybe tomorrow)

Haven't told my DH yet - waiting til he comes home - I don't think he will believe it because I have been so grumpy.

OMG Tanikit!!!!!!
My fingers are crossed for you that its a sticky bean, stick stick stick stick sticky!!!!!!!

And hey, remember, every single pregnancy is different, so just because you feel completely different now to your DD pregnancy, doesn't mean a darn thing. Good luck, my thoughts are with you that you have a sticky jelly bean!

 

[Moondance]

I am feeling so down right now.... Was eating dinner earlier (I ordered pizza, because we have no food in the house and I couldn't drive to the supermarket to get anything) and I did a big stretch, and my tummy poked out the bottom of my shirt.
Dad turns around and says "you really need to lose some pounds, that stomach is disgusting, you eat nothing but s**t"
So I said "you're fat too" and he says "yeah, but at least I try to lose weight"...
Mind you, two minutes later, he picked up a 2kg bag of lollies and started stuffing his face with them. I can't wait til my horse is here, working with him should help me start losing weight... I find it hard to lose weight doing just exercise, as I find it too difficult to get motivated to do the exercise, but working with my horse will be physical stuff that NEEDS to be done, and I'm excited to do it.
But he's always calling me fat, and calling me derogatory names that imply I'm fat.

 

[tryforbaby2]

Tanikit, I seen your post in the bfp section and it is so a bfp!

If you can, could you please throw some baby dust with me into this forum/thread for all of our girls!!!

Love you girls and miss you girls!

Here's to a sticky beany on the cycle you are in right now!

 

[Ejay]

Tanikit - just saw your BFP post, YEY!!!!!! this is so exciting, congratulations xxxx

 

[Tanikit]

Yes, baby dust to all - hope we will see more BFPs very soon.

Tryfor how are you doing? Time has passed fast since you announced your BFP - can't believe you are so far now!

 

[Jaimie2Eyes]

Tanikit! Congratulations!!! I want to see your line SO badly! I'm really excited for you because I know it has been frustrating and difficult, especially during this time of the month. What an awesome break from PMS!

Moon - I completely relate - sorry your Dad isn't more supportive. I ate half a pizza last night and felt very guilty for it!

 

[honeybee28]

tanikit!!!!! yey! congrats, i'll keep my fingers crossed for you!! Can i ask you some questions?
do you normally spot before af? I do, and i was wondering if i will spot if im pregnant or not
how long have you been trying for?
did you do anything different this cycle?
ok question time over. so excited for you!!

awww moon, sorry about your dad.
i used to eat a lot of shit but im changing my diet bit by bit in the hope that it'll help my get pregnant (wishful thinking maybe!) - i do still eat chocolate every day, but i eat loads of fruit and veg too, have a salad for lunch etc.

how's everyone else?

im 3 dpo and had quite bad twinges in my left ovary today - but i think i get this every month after i ovulate. i just want it so badly. it's frustrating not knowing when or even if it'll ever happen for me - does anyone else ever feel like this? hmmmm. anyway enough sulking from me.

got to do some studying for an exam i have for work in 3 weeks, gulp. just marinading some chicken at the mo, having chicken kebabs and salad for dinner tonight.

what's everyone else up to?xx

 

[MyTurnYet]

Thanks so much for voting, ladies!! Ari didn't win, but she came in #76, out of like 60,000 so not too shabby. She's my little cutie pie. Love my nieces and nephew.

Moon, I'm sorry to hear about the comments from your dad.

Honey, good luck on your studying!

Tanikit --- soooo excited for you! Getting that positive news made me super happy. You're the first of the summer explosion BFPs!

I get ovary twinges too, but I always thought I got them leading up to ov and sometimes afterwards. Twinges suck, don't they? They make me all a-twitter for nothing. And yes, I feel frustrated not knowing when or if it will ever happen for me at least once a day. Ok, more like 20 times a day honeybee we'll be mommies and then we'll wish we hadn't been so anxious for it

I tried to vote but I was too late. She is gorgeous MyTurn! Good thing she is a twin because the world could use more beautiful red heads

so cool that tanikit got her bfp I think she's been trying for her second (or third?) since October HoneyBee.

I got a positive of my own to share: on my digi opk today I didn't expect to see that for at least another couple of days but I guess it is time to run DH over when he comes home and drag him to bed

Ok, the rest of us want to get out of this TTC limbo - let's see some more

 

[Tanikit]

Moon sorry to hear about your Dad - that is nasty. Sometimes parents can be really cruel. I'm sure having your horse around will make you feel better and give you something else to concentrate on.

Honeybee - yes I do usually spot before AF for at least one day, but sometimes 2 and one month for nearly 5 days - absolutely no spotting so far and I would have expected it by today. I've been off the pill since October 2009 though we were ntnp - this month we tried properly and the dtd far more than the other months. (We also made sure we BDed a few days before the fertile time so the sperm would be fresh)

My T4 and TSH were abnormal last month and may have been since January - so I fixed that this month (at least I hope it is properly fixed, will have to get it tested again), also took a weird vitamin which also contained amino acids (Its called Staminogro) and my DH took it too. The rest (taking Omega 3 and cal-mag I only did after ovulation.

The only thing I'd say to all of you is - you may not know til you get a +ve - I was really convinced I was out this month. Its only later thinking about that I realised I had some signs. Just so scared now - hope the baby sticks.

Honeybee good luck for your exam.

Jaimie get DH in there and good luck for this cycle.

MyTurnYet its winter here and freezing cold - this will be a mid summer baby in the sweltering heat of February, so want you guys to make plenty of winter-to-be babies - its a good time to be heavily pregnant when its cold.

Do you guys mind if I stick around a bit? I don't want to upset anyone later on, but also have been around so long I would hate to go and want to cheer on your BFPs.

PLEASE stick around Tanikit - you've been a very good supporter of us all and personally, I'd love to hear all about your early days and beyond. It never bothers me when I hear about someone who succeeded after a frustrating try, as it gives me hope.

This cracked me up "Jaimie get DH in there and good luck for this cycle." Thanks for the good luck.

I think that is really good advice, BDing a few days before you are fertile to get the freshest possible supply in during your window. I thought I would be ov'ing later so today was going to be our "freshen up" the day. Hopefully our session on Wednesday was enough to do the trick.

 

[honeybee28]

tanikit PLEASE stay around. and i want to see more of julia too. you guys are part of TTHF and it wouldnt be the same without you.

awww jaimie, it sucks doesnt it. Yeah you are right, cant wait til we all have babies. and yeeeey to the positive digi! Do you love the smiley face? it rocks!!!

 

[Jaimie2Eyes]

I totally love the digi smiley face, especially because it was so unexpected! Hang in there HoneyBee!
