Ok, am back again! And still so excited for you Tanikit!!
Moon - so sorry that your Dad said those things to you - I know what it's like to have a Dad that can be less than supportive...hope you are ok
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!!

Beautiful photo! I tried to vote on this but it wouldn't let me - as Tanikit said, maybe because I'm not in the country? But she is very cute!
Glad you have been having some nice cuddles with your new niece - how special.
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.
Can't stop being excited about this! Wooooooooo!!!
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
Oh, it's so hard with the twinges and stuff isn't it...I swear I have all sorts of things happening in my body that never used to happen! But I think it's just that I pay such close attention to it all now. Hang in there sweets..early days yet! Good luck with the studying...what's your exam for?
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
Yay for the positive Jaimie! Glad those smileys are working out for you. I agree - no more TTC limbo....Julia and Tanikit have started the ball rolling, now it's time for the rest of us to get on board!
thanks im trying to chill out again, ive been fine for a few weeks just had a wobble over the last few days.
ahhhh jaimie maybe this will be your month?! remember julia got her smiley earlier than expected on the month she got her bfp! lol
i got my peak a couple of days later than normal this cycle. had some really good bding sessions though lol and used sortcups properly for the first time - so who knows - maybe this will be lucky cycle 7?!
Cycle 7 for me toooooo!! Go the lucky cycle 7!!!!
I like it HoneyBee - cycle 7 is totally lucky and I'm cycle 14 so maybe that is twice as lucky?
I hope the softcups do the trick for us
I hope that 14 is twice as luck for you Jaimie....and as I said, 14 is my lucky number so that has got to be some extra special luck as well!
I want to give everyone a great big hug, I think we all need it. I can feel some more bfps on the way to our little forum in the coming weeks, so chins up everyone, more good news is coming our way
We bought a boat yesterday, pick it up tonight. It is a 16ft half cabin with an older motor but an absolute bargain. The boat itself is in perfect condition so even if we have to do some work on the motor or worst case scenario get it replaced it will still be a good deal. We should be in the water by the end of the week, just in time for school holidays!!!
AND... I pick up my brand spankers new car on Thursday!! We are a little over extended financially at the moment, but what the heck - you only live once right?!!!
Surprise, surprise, I got an early smiley face opk this morning so it looks like another early O date for me, at least dh is around this time! We didn't bd last night though but I thought it was no worries that I still had a few days up my sleeve. I told him this morning that the window is open and he said 'oops, well we better get hot and heavy tonight then'. Music to my ears...
Love and kisses to you all!
Hey Soph! Wow, congrats on the boat and the car - how exciting! I think you are right, more BFPs are coming. I called it that someone would get a BFP this month remember? So there you go. I think this is just the beginning.
Yay for your smiley opk as well - hope you had fun getting 'hot and heavy'...
DH and I are having a dinner and movie night. I'm really looking forward to spending some alone time with him. He rented Valentines Day and is making pasta for us.
Aw, this sounds lovely parkgirl. Hope you had a great night.
Ok, Peeps..... Everyone must promise now that even when we each get our BFPs, we are still TTHFers! This isn't like the TTC forum where you can't discuss your BFP or pregnancy. Tanikit and TryFor, both of you need to stay with us and hang out! It will not hurt my feelings one bit to hear how things are going with you. Like I said to Julia when she got hers, I look forward to learning from your experiences, because, by God, I will get my BFP one day.
Please stay with us and keep chatting. You've been with the group from the beginning so it's not like you're a stranger rushing in to say "whoo hoo, I got my BFP".
Does that sound ok to everybody? If not, please let us know, because I do know it's rough to hear about on the other forums, but for me, this thread is different.
Tanikit and TryFor, do know we all support you 1000%! And plan to join you as soon as possible!
I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING SQUIRREL HAS SAID!!!
I am doing pretty well now. I think my slight MS and moodiness and laziness (lol) has subsided for now. I have been feeling good for the past week or so. I finally feel like its a bit more real since I seen baby on Ultrasound. He/She was bouncing around like crazy with a heartbeat of 178 bpm (not sure if I told you guys already, sorry if I did!). I am alittle nervous as the normal heartbeat range is anywhere between 100-180 bpm.....so what happens once it goes over 180?....Yes the time has passed fast but slow if that makes sense. I am quite lonely lurking around BnB, as I spy on you girls and how you are doing.
I am in a confused state at the moment. I don;t know if I should be upset ot happy or what?.....My sister Mandi (the witch - I told you all about) is pregnant with #2 and due in January with me. My other little sister Kimberly also is pregnant and is due in February!!! WTF!!!??.....She is 18 and has no money, a boyfriend who just got out of prision and no sense of reality. I know everyone has a right to have children, but I have been trying so damned hard to enjoy my pregnancy but I feel asif it turned into a competition or something! Grrrrr! Aahhh sorry for the rant.....LOL So yes, three of us are due withina month or twoof each other......Gack....
Hey lovely Julia! Wow, baby heartbeat - yay! Sounds like you got yourself an energetic little bubs there...it's all that bouncing on the softcup trampoline as a sperm, it's just carried on into the womb!
Yeah, I can see why you are feeling a bit weird about your sisters being pregnant as well...sounds like very different situations to you and your OH, and I can also see why it feels like it could get competitive. Just keep trying to enjoy your pregnancy as much as you can, this is about you and your OH and your DD...that's the most important thing. Easier said that done though I know...hope you are doing ok with it all
I just thought I would drop by for a moment to let you girls know I am still thinking about you! I have been around reading your post occassionally, but I haven't had much time to reply. I am still taking it easy... I know that this will happen for me and you girls in God's perfect time. I hope you are all well and enjoying summer!
Hey bbdreams, lovely to hear from you. Glad that you are just taking it easy and trusting that it will happen for you and for us all - I think that's a great attitude. Big hugs
I am doing ok, onto CD3 today and am feeling alright about it all now. Work has been super crazy busy and and reasonably stressful, so I haven't thought about it all that much which is probably good. I have also been a little bit unwell, so have been feeling a tiny bit sorry for myself but getting over it now!
Yesterday was the shortest day of the year, so we went over to our (land) neighbours for a celebration they had organised for their children and friend's children. They have seven kids, and they are all home schooled, so it's pretty full on! But it was really cute, we had a fire and a story for the kids in the barn, then all the kids had made lanterns and we walked down a special trail lit by lanterns to the back paddock where we had a bonfire and the kids sang songs and had marshmellows. It was super cute.
I have discovered that if this cycle isn't successful, I am going to be away in Melbourne right over my ovulation period for next cycle! Grrrr. And the irony is, I will be in Melbourne to help out with my best friends newborn baby! Ah well, what are you gonna do.
Got to go to bed as am exhausted! Hope you ladies are doing ok xx and congrats again Tanikit!
I am sure you are! LOL So have you figured out your due date yet? Have you told DH yet?.....Any symptoms or signs? What did you due this month? (softcups, opks.....etc etc?)
I didn't realize you weren't TTC for a bit but now that you are back at it, YAY!!!
