Welcome to the ttc in fall group..........AUTUMN ACORNS!!!!

[babyb54]

Yeah! Can't wait to join you ttc ladies! Annoyingly, even though I can start trying on 15th, I won't actually ov til start of Oct but we can get sone good practice in!

Ttcbabyw, how long have u been trying now?

Oh well... enjoy the practice! I'm sure your DH will!! Once you start trying, you'll realise there's still a lot of waiting.... waiting to take ovulation tests, waiting to ovulate, waiting to pg test..... So even though we are already trying...we're still always WAITING for something!! Just enjoy gettin' busy for the sake of it!

I know!!! Think this is why I was feeling so frustrated when I found out even more people I know are expecting/have just had a baby - I was thinking something along the lines of "rahhhhhhhh...they are pregnant too and I'm still not even trying!"!!!

Hate to break it to ya, but even after your you'll STILL be waiting. Waiting for your ultrasound, waiting to tell people, waiting to find out gender, waiting for the damnomgthisweekislike19809834dayslong weeks to pass....

Hey girls!

I'm so sorry for your loss Miss Redknob!

Welcome pola! I can't wait to see you new girls on facebook; we need to change it up a little.

I'm getting weird cramps; doesn't feel like AF, but who knows. I hope it's not showing up early . . . or at all.

 

[Miss Redknob]

Thanks for all your wishes and thoughts...

 

[mouse_chicky]

Now I'm really confused. I thought I was 8DPO, but today's opk was quite dark; the same as 8 days ago. Today is CD21. Did I O twice or what?

Well ladies I have had a pretty crappy day. My sister and I were on our way down to see our Great Aunt as she is in hospital (she lives just over 3hrs away) and we got about 45mins away when we get a phone call from my mum saying that my beautiful Aunt had just passed away. We had to pull over in such a hurry cause my sister was beside herself as she so wanted our aunt to get through it and make her wedding...

So sorry to hear about your loss

is it late to join?? I started this cycle on the 26th, so Im hoping this month DH and I can "work hard" to get that BFP soon!! hello everyone!!!

Pola and welcome

Welcome to all the newbies

Miss Redknob- so sorry to hear about your loss

Babyb54 how wonderful to have got to see your wee bean, and even hear it's heartbeat

Thanks guys for your words of support yesterday- was not a happy bunny...was a combination of TTC stresses and generally feeling low about myself. It may seem a bit dumb to get so stressed on month 1 of TTC, but it really felt that this was an indication of what was to come in coming months. And I really wanted to give this month a good shot as I may not have the opportunity for another 3 months... Would somehow feel a touch better getting a BFN if we'd at least given it a chance... Anyway, yesterday morning I was surprised not to have seen my temp spike (was sure I'd have O'd the day before), and so still had a chance. Had a nice evening with OH, so jumped him yesterday evening... also had some EWCM yesterday afternoon which I had thought had gone. So we got another BD in, and I'm still in with a chance STILL not got my temp spike today either...

And we're off on our hols tomorrow

So happy to hear things seem better, hope you have a terrific holiday

Now I'm really confused. I thought I was 8DPO, but today's opk was quite dark; the same as 8 days ago. Today is CD21. Did I O twice or what?

Ooooh, maybe you'll have faternal twins?? Wasn't there an article posted just last week about new research showing a good percentage of women ovulate twice in a month?

Well, I was dumb and POAS today...it was a but if ya look at it in the light sideways while standing on one foot there is the slightest 2nd line I'm not disappointed as I am only 8dpo today...I'm going to retest Sunday (since hubby will still be home)...if it's still a I'll wait til the 8th (which is when AF is due).

Hubby n I are getting ready to take BabyMac up to the high school to see her big sister cheer at the football game.

maybe!

I can't believe it's the weekend already. It seems as if it was just the weekend and now it's come round again.

Like babymaybe said, the FB group is private so none of your normal friends or family can see what you post there! The one rule is to not post anything about babies on each others walls, save it for private messages or the private group!

Makes sense to me!! I´d actually wouldnt mind people posting on my wall, its just that many people in my family have given me the speech of not having kids yet... Im almost 28, DH is almost 30, we`ve been together for 3 years and 1 year ago we married and we are in a good economical situation, so it makes me angry they just wont respect my desicion!! but always glad I can count on you, girls!!

Maybe you didn't O the first time? Have you had a sustained temperature shift to confirm that you O'd? (don't know if you temp or not!)

I've heard that your body can "gear up" for ovulation, meaning positive OPK, but then not actually ovulate due to stress, illness etc. Then that might mean you'd get another OPK a bit later in your cycle!

OR, a positive OPK could mean you are pregnant? They can detect HCG as well as LH!! I don't know if it would detect it at 8DPO though!!

hi ladies, AF due today...starting to feel sick, not physically but mentally if that makes sense?!.....just dont want it to arrive, but if it is gonna come i want it to hurry up....just been on FB and another college friend has announced she's pregnant....just what i wanted to hear!!....i dont want to take a hpt yet, in case its a bfn and then AF comes later today.....i hate this waiting game!!

 

[music81]

hi mouse_chicky...i dont do temping but sounds like you may have ov late....but i hope its a sign of pregnancy for you?!!

 

[music81]

baby54....love your scan photo!!!....soo exciting!!.....so tiny!!.....

 

[mouse_chicky]

Thanks girls.

I don't temp, but I hope the positive means pregnancy. (That's what I was secretly hoping someone would suggest. I'm hopeless.) I was reading on a POAS site last that said though that elevated lh could mean pregnancy but a hpt would pick up on it first. So we'll see. I don't want to wait. I want to know now.

Hi Music! I was in the same boat with you. I was 16dpo today and had gotten a 14dpo. I was gonna test tomorrow in the am, but just showed up!
I have friends left and right posting their baby's pics, pics of their baby bumps, and announcing left and right they are pregnant. I'm happy for them, but it's hard for us that want to be there too. Not to mention the dreaded wait for AF. But I was in the same boat with you so I understand and I'm hoping AF doesn't get you!!! Lots of to you!

Everyone sure does have a strong opinion don't they?
That's why I don't want anyone else to know we're trying, I've heard wayyy too much negative. It's just hard for me to not share with people when I'm so excited about it.

Don't you love when people are like: "Don't have kids yet!! You will regret it...live your life! blah blah blah"

So....what if my whole life I've dreamed of being a mom?! Plus....won't I have more money when I'm like 60 and retired? I plan on being a fabulous, traveling retired woman like my precious Grandma! Right now, we're still paying off our mortgage and fixing up our house!!
