For roll call.

Parkgirl- 30, TTC#1, cycle#7

Af is/was due to show yesterday or today,when/if she does, I'll be cycle#8

 

[parkgirl]

Wow, I've missed so much again. Mondays and Tuesdays are my super long days at work, so I hardly have time to think by the time I get home.


honeybee- sorry about not being offered the job. I think you have the right idea. A new job plus getting a bfp would be a lot to deal with in one month.

soph77-You go girl. Get your on and catch that egg.

Nixilix- Sounds like a bfp to me as well.

Tanikit- Stick bean stick and hold on super tight!

LuckyD- Have a great time this weekend!

Squirrell- I also hope you have a very lucky #9

Jaimie- Hope you are doing well.



AF was due to show yesterday or today. I really thought I would wake up to her, but nothing yet. I want to give it another day or two before testing as I don't want to see a bfn if she's going to show anyway.

 

[Nixilix]

Thanks girls, superdrug test said bfp very scared! Feel like I've kinda just jumped back in this thread cause of bfp.... That's defo not the case, sorry if it seems that way xxxx

 

[Jaimie2Eyes]

Super sticky & healthy baby dust to you Nixilix! Please don't worry one bit about getting a bfp shortly after checking in with us. I enjoy getting to hear about your journey and especially about your success! Really hope this goes far more smoothly for you hon.

Tanikit - so glad you are getting an even darker line, but bummed to hear your sugars went low. Did you go up and down quite a bit with your DD when you were pg with her?

You two and TryFor are making this summer BFP explosion HAPPEN!!!

Soph - your posts last night were hilarious! I found it especially funny that your DH got back on the computer afterwards ; P Kai sounds adorable. I was 10 when my Mom remarried and I remember asking my step dad if I could call him Dad. Love it when blended families are so happy together! Nice to hear about your contract and I hope you get better than expected results from the other interview.

HoneyBee - please don't worry about it taking some time for you ~ you are in good company babe xo we'll get there.

My DH has been STELLAR about this cycle - initiating as soon as he gets home, handing me the pillow afterwards, asking me if I need some preseed or the spermie trampoline ; P Although it has been rough for us at times, lately this whole TTC thing has been making us super tight. I am grateful for that.

 

[Tanikit]

Nixlix congrats - so happy for you - you've had quite a journey to this too! Glad we can share the pregnancy together too - hoping the rest of you guys will make your way over too!

Soph you also made me laugh - men really! By the way - I did tell my DH to get the laptop off his lap last cycle and he seemed to listen (apparently it can kill sperm very easily - have you felt how hot they can be?)

Jaimie glad your DH has been so nice - it is nice to feel close like that and very important, so enjoy it!

Parkgirl AF being late is always an excellent sign - can't believe you are waiting though - do you have any other signs?

Yeah, I did struggle with my sugars with my DD too, though I don't know that I remember it all that accurately - I seem to have more resistance now and I am also on a diabetic site for pregnant diabetics that helps so I know what to expect as there is a pattern most of us go through - by later in the first trimester we are expected to get lows a lot.

I think I will go for the blood tests tomorrow - it should be over 50miu by now and I have the forms for all the tests so I won't be pricked unnecessarily.

Fingers crossed for all of you entering the 2ww now/soon.

 

[Ejay]

Wow comngrats Nix, this is looking like a fantastic month.

Due to O over the weekend, so will be getting plenty of BD action in, althought weather is going to be scorching hot, it's hot hot hot!!!

Jaimie roll call info:

Ejay - 30, TTC#1 and cycle 10

I hope we all stay in touch throughout TTC, BFP and beyond

Hope everyone is ok. Fingers crossed for you Parkgirl that it tuens out to be a BFP

No other symptoms what so ever. No cramping, no moodiness, nothing.

I hope your blood tests go well.

[Jaimie2Eyes]

ParkGirl - is it usual for you to have no symptoms before AF? I find that pretty exciting!

For those of us still trying, the average age on the roll call is 30.8 and the average number of cycles is 7 : ) I'm a little sad about being the oldest and having tried the longest

Awww Jaimie I love you like a good sister of mine! You are too sweet!
I love love love to hear that this cycle for you is super awesome!!! Have great sex! Enjoy each other, but you know that!

Congratulations!!! Finally the TTHF thread is moving on up!!! I can't wait for all us to be together!!!

Ugh, teaching yr 7 today. Hope they are a nice bunch. Had the cutest prep class yesterday.

I got a call back from my interview yesterday asking me to call them about a contract for next term so I will ring them today and find out what it is, yippee! (did I say on here that I had a job interview? or was that on facebook?) Anyway the school is a national partnership school which means that it has been targeted by the government for some reason to throw heaps of money at it to try and improve outcomes. This school has been targeted because it is in a low socio-economical area where most families are living at or below the poverty line, so could be a good challenge!

Yes, you told us about this a little while back! How exciting! And you thought your interview went badly!!

Oh no that was a different interview! That on was for my teacher rating, and yes, I still feel that it was bad. I still have not gotten my results from that one yet.
But this latest one was for a contract in a school. Got the contract today, it is for a yr 6 class, yay!

Yay!!!

Guess what I did last night....

I got home from my dance class and dh was on the computer looking at boat stuff. I told him to hurry up and come 'give it to me wild-style' then you can go back out and do boat stuff.

He came (pardon the pun) and did his stuff and off he went back to the computer.

I squirted some preseed into a softcup and popped it in, then I reached into my bedside, pulled out my trusty vibrator and sucked those spermies up good and proper with a big fat orgasm!!!

Bowchickabowwow......... NICE!!! I am loving the fun and loving sex that you and DH and jaimie and DH are having!!!

 

[parkgirl]

ParkGirl - is it usual for you to have no symptoms before AF? I find that pretty exciting!

No, it's not. I usually get pretty strong cramps a few days before she shows. Plus, by now I'm usually crying my eyes out at every sappy commercial.

I want to test, but I'm also afraid to. I don't want to see a bfn again. Maybe on Friday or Saturday if the still hasn't shown.

 

[parkgirl]

For those of us still trying, the average age on the roll call is 30.8 and the average number of cycles is 7 : ) I'm a little sad about being the oldest and having tried the longest

That's great to know. I'm almost spot on the average.

 

[CelticNiamh]

Good morning girls. Got a faint second line this morning. Not convinced cause I feel very af like and doubtful becaus of mc in April. I will get a test this afternoon as used ic this morning.

How are we all on thus glorious sunny day?

Congrats tanikit! Xxxx I sent you a msg

I had to stop reading when I read this..... FX honey that the line gets darker thirlled for you pic please

 

[SquirrelGirl]

Thanks girls, superdrug test said bfp very scared! Feel like I've kinda just jumped back in this thread cause of bfp.... That's defo not the case, sorry if it seems that way xxxx

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This really is turning into a BFP Explosion Summer (or Winter depending on your location)!!!! Let's carry this momentum into July!


And you're part of the team, so no worries whatsoever! You needed a break... many of us have needed one at one time or another for various reasons, so post away!!! We're all absolutely ecstatic for you! Have you told the OH? I always enjoy stories of how the OH reacted.


Soph, guess I was a little mixed up on the interviews! Congrats again!


Park, wow, you have some will power girl. But I do understand the disappointment of a BFN. I have absolutely every finger, toe, and eye crossed for you!!!! So hurry up and test so I can see again! Just kidding! I wish I had that much will power. I just gotta POAS sometimes, even for no logical reason whatsoever!


My OH and I are going to start 'his' plan of BDing every three days tonight. Should be fun!! I told him it's his month to decide the plan, and he said ok, but none of that testing stuff (meaning my CBFM). I'm still going to use it, but I found it hysterical that he had a plan in mind and noticed all the POAS action going on! I do love him, hehe.

 

[LuckyD]

wow.... seeing the roll call.....it's weird how we've all been trying longer than average huh (i heard 5 months is average - but perhaps that's wrong) .... i thought i was abnormal for taking this long but i guess im normal..... still, really hope that stork hurries up with a mass delivery of bubs for everyone on here!!

You are normal Honeybee! We are all normal. I think the average time depends on different things i.e. age, but it's all just numbers anyway. You are gonna be fine love xx

Thought I would share a little pearl Kai said today -

'Mum, are you and Dad going to have parent fun time tonight?'

'What's that Kai?'

'You know,...SEX!'

(holding back laughter) 'Well yes, maybe, parents like to have fun too you know.'


Another little gem he said to me this morning -

'Mum, I wish there was 2 of you and 2 of me.'

'Why is that?'

'Because then there would be twice as much love.'



Awwwwwww

Soph, this is absolutely adorable. What a sweetheart!

Good morning girls. Got a faint second line this morning. Not convinced cause I feel very af like and doubtful becaus of mc in April. I will get a test this afternoon as used ic this morning.

Nix!! Oh my god, how exciting! Congratulations!!!! I understand you feeling a bit strange about it because of what happened in April, hope it begins to feel a bit more real soon. And don't worry about feeling like you are just coming back with a BFP...you were an original TTHFer and you are always welcome no matter what! So happy for you xxxx

AF was due to show yesterday or today. I really thought I would wake up to her, but nothing yet. I want to give it another day or two before testing as I don't want to see a bfn if she's going to show anyway.

This is sounding very positive parkgirl!! I totally understand not wanting to see a BFN, I am exactly the same and always try and hold out as long as possible without testing. Good luck xxx

My DH has been STELLAR about this cycle - initiating as soon as he gets home, handing me the pillow afterwards, asking me if I need some preseed or the spermie trampoline ; P Although it has been rough for us at times, lately this whole TTC thing has been making us super tight. I am grateful for that.

This is so awesome to hear Jaimie, so glad that you are having some good baby-making time together. It can be so hard for both partners, so it's lovely when it feels like it is actually making you closer. I have a good feeling about you this cycle xx

Yeah, I did struggle with my sugars with my DD too, though I don't know that I remember it all that accurately - I seem to have more resistance now and I am also on a diabetic site for pregnant diabetics that helps so I know what to expect as there is a pattern most of us go through - by later in the first trimester we are expected to get lows a lot.

I think I will go for the blood tests tomorrow - it should be over 50miu by now and I have the forms for all the tests so I won't be pricked unnecessarily.

Good luck for the blood tests Tanikit! Glad that you have a helpful site for pregnant diabetes, it helps so much if you know what to expect I am sure - less surprises and more ability to plan for things.

Due to O over the weekend, so will be getting plenty of BD action in, althought weather is going to be scorching hot, it's hot hot hot!!!

Oooh, have fun! Hot inside the bedroom and out!

For those of us still trying, the average age on the roll call is 30.8 and the average number of cycles is 7 : ) I'm a little sad about being the oldest and having tried the longest

Aw sweetie, don't be sad...averages are just that - averages - just silly numbers. And think about all the (lucky and annoying) people that get pg on their first try - that means that some people have to wait longer than 9 months to make 9 the 'average'. I am sure it is gonna happen for you really soon xxxxx

My OH and I are going to start 'his' plan of BDing every three days tonight. Should be fun!! I told him it's his month to decide the plan, and he said ok, but none of that testing stuff (meaning my CBFM). I'm still going to use it, but I found it hysterical that he had a plan in mind and noticed all the POAS action going on! I do love him, hehe.

I really like this Squirrel, I think it's really cool that you got your DH to choose the plan this month. I think I am going to steal this idea and ask my OH about how he wants to approach things. Good to keep our OH's involved and feeling like they have a contribution too.


Well, I am very happy to see that the predicted June Explosion is actually occurring, even though I am not in it
Let's keep it up!! Can't wait to have the TTHF Graduates thread over in the Pregnancy forums.


Well, yikes, I just asked my OH about what he wants to do this cycle. He said he doesn't trust 'those things' (OPKs) so wants to BD every other day from CD8 to CD28. And maybe a few more 'when you turn black' (he means when I get a positive OPK!). Hmmmm, we shall see if we can actually keep this up!

 

[MyTurnYet]

Ahhhh!! So much to catch up on, again! I'm reading through, and keep seeing stuff I want to reply to and then forgetting.

Just want to say that I totally agree with Squirrel about TTHFers staying right here after BFPS. My goal is for eventually ALL of us to be knocked up! And we can chat about our experiences and still TTHF. How cool would that be??

Soph - congrats on the new job offer!

Nixlix - yay for BFP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Squirrel - love that, too, that your DH has a plan. So cute! Hope you don't mind, but think I will steal that, as well. Will ask my DH his plan. Trying to be super chill this month as we're going to a specialist at the end of July.

Parkgirl - keep us posted!

Mush - very happy to hear that you've worked things out w/ your DH. Good for you for being up front and honest!

Lucky - the bonfire sounds like so much fun...I'll be right there.

For roll call, I'm 32 TTC#1...I want to say it's cycle #14, but kind of lost count.

Jaimie - I'm pretty close to you...I'll be turning 33 this year.

 

[Annamumof2]

well girls i tested last night and negative, i am not due on till sunday so if nothing by tuesday i will have a word with the doctor when she rings but i have the signs that i really do feel pregnant, but then again it might just be this stupid weather

 

[Jaimie2Eyes]

Lucky, when I read "and maybe a few more when you turn black" at first I thought it said "and maybe a few more when you turn your back" and that just slayed me! I really like the idea of you and Squirrel letting your OH's have a go at the BD game plan. I think I'll try that next cycle...

And thanks for the reassurance Lucky ~ MyTurn made me feel heaps better by not even knowing if she's been trying for 14 cycles. I definitely need to adopt that carefree attitude! Y'all are totally right, even with a couple of 14 cycle tries in the roll call we barely budge the average of 9 cycles. I also love that we are all in our late 20s / mid 30s. No wonder we get along so well!

I was definitely feeling a little sorry for myself yesterday but I think that is mostly because it was a slow work day. I had a run this morning in the desert and feel loads better. I am going to block a couple of gals on Facebook too - too many ultrasound pics and baby pics! Blocking makes me happy They aren't people I know very well and I will unblock them once I am less cranky about babies and bumps. You'd think someone that gets cranky about that stuff wouldn't spend half her day on a forum of the same name...

 

[Ejay]

ParkGirl - is it usual for you to have no symptoms before AF? I find that pretty exciting!

For those of us still trying, the average age on the roll call is 30.8 and the average number of cycles is 7 : ) I'm a little sad about being the oldest and having tried the longest

Thanks Jaimie, it's interesting to see that in reality it is down to luck and perseverence.

You are amazing holding out for so long, but I do understand, it's a killer to see BFN. Realy have my fingers crossed for you xx

Thanks girls, superdrug test said bfp very scared! Feel like I've kinda just jumped back in this thread cause of bfp.... That's defo not the case, sorry if it seems that way xxxx

Squirrel - I love the fact that you are leaving this up to your OH this month. Last cycle I got a bit upset with OH about the fact that it always seemed like me doing the research and trying out new TTC things, if this cycle doesn't work I think I will leave it up to him to decide next cycle.

Lucky - your OH is funny, bding at that rate if you don't get your BFP at least you will have burned a lot of calories trying

well girls i tested last night and negative, i am not due on till sunday so if nothing by tuesday i will have a word with the doctor when she rings but i have the signs that i really do feel pregnant, but then again it might just be this stupid weather

FX for you Anna, hope that AF stays away.


Well I have realy confused Fertility Friend with my temperatures today, I have had 3 rises and it put dotted cross hatches in on CD8 thinking I had ovulated. I know I haven't, just started to get EWCM today CD11, I think my temps have gone up a bit due to the hot weather, it was way to hot last night, should have had some bd action but just flaked out naked on the bed instead

 

[Annamumof2]

well girls i am wondering what to do, i have had no signs atall of anything my nipples was sore when i was ovulating and i know i was ovulating as Andy told me hehe, soooo now i got to wait and see what happens but i put a ticker up that shows how far i MIGHT be, just need to keep fingers crossed now that something happens

 

[Tanikit]

I'm longing for some hot weather - apparently hot weather can make you more fertile so good luck to all of you BDing at the moment. They say it may snow again here - it snowed when I was pregnant with DD in 2007 and it hadn't snowed here in 24 years before that. Now they say it will probably snow here this year - I think I'd like that, though I am not prepared for it at all (still no gloves or scarf)

Jaimie laughed when I read what you thought Lucky had written - could just imagine it! Sorry you had a rough day - definitely need some more fun.

We have had a crazy busy day at work and I am so tired - DD is sick and really not doing well and has had to be at work with me. My sugars are at least coming to a slightly better level now, so things may settle down (I hope) and I got the blood test done today - woman got my vein first time! Yay! - I told her congrats cause they almost always miss. Fudgie needs his stitches out tomorrow - he's doing so great I am really impressed and he adores my DD.

Squirrel you are brave to leave things up to OH though it makes a lot of sense - maybe this will be your lucky cycle because of it.

Anna you have been through so much lately - really hope you will get great positive news soon (a BFP)
