Welcome to 'Trying To Conceive Over 35'

Hey all,

I thought they were sore yesterday, well I was wrong. They are 3 times more sore or even more if possible today. OUCH! I rolled over on them in my sleep and it woke me up. I stood up out of bed and they swung down (gravity sucks) and I just about yelped from the pain! I finally have them contained in a bra, but even with that support they feel funky.

I had a vivid dream last night that I had a little spotting and then 3 little baby/alligators popped out of me. They had baby heads and alligator bodies. What the heck does that mean? In the dream I was happy about them, it was so very strange.

I didn't go into the office today, I'm going to work from home. My boss is on vacation, and everyone was interrupting me yesterday since it was my first day back. So they won't care if I'm gone again. The main reason I wanted to stay home is that I'm exhausted! I slept like 10 hours last night. I could have slept another 10 I think. Plus I hope to get some things like unpacking and laundry done before my cleaning lady comes tomorrow. She won't be able to clean much with all the chaos in my house! LOL! So hopefully I can get things back to normal today.

I remembered to POAS with FMU and it was 100% negative. There was not even a hint of a positive, so I think the trigger is out. Now to wait for it to darken!

Oh, TwoToGo - meant to say congrats on the positive OPK, and I hope that your DH doesn't put up too much of a fuss! If not bring out the , . I also liked what you said to Coy about her family. I may not be the most devoted believer in God, nor do I go to church on a regular basis, but I do believe that there is a higher power, and I do look to him for guidance, and pray that I am living as he would like me to do. It really gets me fired up though when people use their beliefs to chastise another. Why are people so cruel, and how do they justify saying those things? It just boggles my mind how people can be so judgmental, and hurtful. We only live once, and I for one would prefer to live it happily and surrounded by love, instead of being torn up inside with jealousy and hate.

I think people are so cruel because it makes them feel better about themselves and the sin in their own life. It really hacks me off when people use their faith to be judgemental. It really gives God a bad representation. If people would read their Bible, they would see that Jesus never condemned or judged those who were sinning, he offered them love and forgiveness. He did, however, condemn and chastise those (the legalistic 'religious' rulers) who where condemning and chasitising the sinners and the broken. The love that Jesus showed to the hurting and broken is the same love that we are to show others. Never did he tell us to judge and condemn. In fact, he tells us to do just the opposite. Okay, end of sermon number 2.

I love it! Did I mention that my trainer is also my pastor? He has helped me in so many ways. I agree with you that people are cruel because it makes them feel better about themselves. I have been guilty of that in the past. I used to focus on other people's imperfections so I wouldn't have to focus on my own. But one day I realized that it was ok to have those imperfections. It was ok because it was the only way that I was able to connect with my spirituality and realize that I can do nothing on my own, but I can do ALL things through Christ who gives me strength. It was a hard lesson learned but I'm so glad I learned it. It gives me patience with other people who are the way I used to be.

Hi ladies! Thanks for understanding about the family!

Jess- it can be really difficult for a woman when ttc...the only way I could explain it to my dhis when a guy may have trouble, you know, down there... Anyway he understands my view, when a woman has trouble getting pg it sort of makes us feel less thana full woman- which is total crap, I understand that, but doesn't help the feeling. I think you are awesomely tough Jess! You'll get your bfp (don't rule out dh's swimmers though- he may think it's rough but you need to remind him your view as a woman--not exactly an everyday picnic, right?!)

Ali- alligators? With baby heads? That def sounds like a bfp dream to me FACT ALERT: Pregnant women experience collages of vivid and oddly WEIRD dreams in first tri....

Thanks Coy! Yes, I was like WTF am I thinking? It was really strange. How does one dream about things like alligators with baby heads? I was at a loss. It wasn't much later that I tried to roll over on my side/stomach and woke myself up because of the pain. I had a breast reduction back when I was 21 and it was the same feeling. I like to sleep on my side, and I would roll over to my side and then immediately spring up and think, ouch! Nope can't sleep like that silly! So I am fairly convinced right now that I'm pregnant. I just feel it, its a different feeling than months past. Is it possible for a woman to just 'know'

sure is!! I had that feeling with this baby.... we'd been trying for a bit, and when we did the IUI with this baby, I just 'knew' it had worked! I started testing at 7dpIUI and got my first super faint positive on 10DPIUI..... Good Luck!! wooo hoooo!!

In case you guys were interested, here is the link for where I got my wall decal from:

hope everyone is having a good day!

 

[Grey Eyes]

Ali- yep, a woman can just "know". In fact, I remember feeling so down while ttc after our mc...but the month we concieved I remember having jut this "awesome" feeling, just relaxed and happy...so, I wonder C'mon 10 dpo!

I was just looking up the miu of the test strips I have. They are Wondfo strips and an independent test said that they are pretty sensitive and faint lines will be seen with just 10, and one person posted that they got a faint line when their BETA was only 5. IDK, that sounds a little off. I will test in the morning, I'm addicted to POAS! LOL!

Off to bed, I hope your day was not too hectic Coy! NIGHT!

Hi Ali Not too hectic? lol!

OMG, I am sooo tired tonight! And I ask myself why I am at the :computer: when I could be asleep? Bnb is where I go to relax and distress! Anywhoo, had a long day. Last night was another doozy…Kat woke up al covered in itchies (hives from allergic reaction to TBHQ is my best guess) and mad as a hornet naturally She was yelling at her sister who pretended to be asleep then dumped water on her which meant new dry pj’s and a wet bed Then we had to do Motrin, Benadryl, Antiitch cream….and then they got the giggles and acted uncontrollably silly for nearly 2.5 hours! When I finally got them to sleep I was so awake it took another hour to settle down and rest. So I got to sleep at 6 am, got up at 830, made everyone breakfast, then cut wood in the cooler breeze….I am Pooped with a capital “P” They didn’t want to sleep tonight wither but I made them

Hopefully tomorrow (and tonight) is better, I do start a new college course tomorrow, I hope it is easy and gives me a break! Phew! Lol. Oh, and my attorney called today with good and bad news. Bad news is he needs money Good news is he does a great job while getting paid

Coy,

You need to get some sleep! I hope DD's let you get some!

[AngelSerenity]

Hi everybody, just nipping on at lunch.

Ali, looking forward to hearing some news!

Coy, reading your posts just make me tired, I don't know how you do it all. Take her a bit easier, you're making me feel bad lol.

Phil, lovely to see you on and I LOVE the decal in your avatar pic.

Alin, Terri, Jess . Goodness Jess you've been busy!

I'll be abck online later when most of you are awake and about.

I'm on 15DPO so where is AF??????? I normally get it about 11-13 DPO. I did an IC on Saturday afternoon at 11DPO and got a BFN so I don't know what is going on. I had a slight bit of spotting yesterday with creamy CM so I think my body is fooling me again. Maybe I'll just spot again for a couple of days like last month and AF will appear. My temp is still high and my boobs tingling. So scared of getting my hopes up girls, I'm going to try and stick it out until Saturday to see if AF arrives and test then . Knowing my luck it'll arrive Friday night .

 

[twotogo]

Angel, keeping fx'd for you. Don't know how you can wait until Saturday... you must have an extreme amount of self control! I totally have none when it comes to POAS.

 

[alicatt]

Angel - GL and FX'd that you get a

TwoTogo - I'm the same way, POAS addicted!

Coy - ditto what Angel said, slow down woman! You need to make sure you look after yourself for babes's sake!

Jess - morning!

Phil - I don't have anything to post that is visible


I can't figure out what is going on here. This morning I woke up to mega sore boobs, another temp drop, nausea and more cramping. I did POAS with FMU and I am saw the faintest of lines there this morning, just like last night, but possibly lighter. So now I'm wondering if its the trigger still? I am 9DP trigger, and 8-9DPO. I think I just have to be patient and wait another 1-3 days. UGH.

So there is a tropical storm heading towards South Florida, looking like it will be a wet weekend. Just my luck, my first weekend home and I'm going to be dodging rain, wind and flooding. Oh, and I haven't build my hurricane preparedness bin yet this year. After the past 5 years of doing it religiously at the start of the season only to end up donating most of it to a food bank at the end of the season, I figured I'd just wait it out. Well low and behold, now I may actually need it! So I think I better go out and get some stuff for my bin. Mostly I need water, canned goods or things that you can eat without much in the way of preparation, and batteries for my lantern and flashlights.

 

[alicatt]

Since I know that you will all be begging me to post a pic, here it is!
It is so faint I'm not sure you will be able to see it. I'm not even sure its anything more than an evap line? I reviewed yesterday morning's test and that line definitely wasn't there on that test.

The top one is last night, and the bottom one is this morning.

I do see a faint line on the bottom one. I think it is very possible that the temp dip is implantation dip. Fx'd!!!!
