Welcome to 'Trying To Conceive Over 35'

Ali- temps at basal body of 98.1 defo point a finger at bfp! You are 9 dpo and still soaring well above your cover line! Looks like a "bfp: to me! Let's wait and see. Try fmu tomorrow? Oh, jsut so you know, if you are using IC's it can take an addition 2-3 days to register a bfp...if you have a early response (go get one!!!! lol) test that helps find out by 10-11 dpo usually....(I am drumming my fingers) But getting the bfn on IC's right now is good, showing you the hcg shot is GOOONNNE! lol!

Hi Coy. It is Coy, right? What's an IC?

And thank you for always being encouraging

Internet Cheapie...just as Ali said And yes, I am Coy. What;s your "handle" aside from FirstTry?? (if you don't mind- no pressure on bnb)

I'm Apple. Nice to meet you.

I have a question for all of you ladies. Looking at my chart this morning (see my signature below), it's starting to look tri-phasic. What do you think?

Plus, yesterday, I had tender BBs, a symptom I had hoped for last month, but never happened.

I tested with an IC yesterday and no dice. I'm holding off until tomorrow to test again because I hate seeing BFNs. I would wait even longer, but DH has his SA appointment tomorrow and I'd LOVE to be able to cancel it!

Apple! Nice to meet you!

Yes I agree your chart is looking tri-phasic Mine looks a lot like yours actually, even with the high temp around 4DPO and then a spike again this morning. How are you feeling? Any symptoms to share?

Yay! FRER! FMU FMU (chant) lol! Hoping you get your bfp this month Ali- if not, my fingers are still crossed for the next round

Today was hot and uneventful .. I sort of took the day off without planning to? Didn't do my major assignment in school as it is due tomorrow I better hit it in the morning!

And Imogene is cute, dh and I have been discussing options....

Morning Coy.. Thanks for your continued confidence, it is contagious! Only issue is that I truly feel like AF is on its way, and I am so nauseous! It is bizarre. My boobs are a tiny bit sore, especially the nips I used a FRER this morning, and it was and just to be sure I used an IC too! It was not surprisingly too. However, did you see my temp? Holy cow it jumped!! Not sure what to think? Seems like last month repeating itself. I am going to try and keep my hopes up, but it doesn't look good.

Morning Everyone..

There are just too many posts to reply to you all individually! Nice to see a chatty bunch

Jess - sorry about AF arriving, but maybe as you said it is a good thing? You can try again in earnest next month Now for the next few days you can focus on the job, and landing it!!!

Coy - yes how is the 'ROOM' coming? How are the baby names coming? I hope you didn't get too hot, I have often wondered how pregnant women handle the summer heat? Does not sound pleasant! Hopefully you have plenty of ice cream to keep you cool Can you take a look at my chart? Let me know what you think? Could I have just implanted yesterday? My temp was spiking last night, I actually had a fever of almost 100 before I went to bed.

alin3boys - 6DPO! YAY! Your symptoms sound promising, as does your chart,

Apple - so glad we are on the exact same DPO! It makes it nice to have a buddy I just hope so much that we both get a this month!!! If I were, I'd be due on March 1, 2013. How about you?

Tracey - another in the 2WW, rooting for you too! I would love to see some 's too! Here is hoping that we are all successful this month!!

Yes, FF tells me 3/1/13 would be the due date too! Fingers crossed

My only symptoms are sore BBs, especially the left yesterday and today and that chart. This is only my second month charting, but it was biphasic last month. I hope tri-phasic does actually mean something for you and me, Ali!

I will test tomorrow. I'm trying not to get too hopeful, but I think this month is my best chance yet.

Re Keegan: DH wants to put off getting a dog until after we "get" a baby. But Keegan is so cute

Yep Keegan is adorable, but I understand, one baby at a time! I just wish I could find him a home before I have to leave for Canada. I head up there in less than 2 weeks

I will test again tomorrow morning, and

I just feel like AF is coming, you have that 6th sense you know? I did have a dream on Saturday night, a vivid dream that I POAS and it was positive. It was a FRER, and it clearly had 2 lines. I have been chatting with my belly and with God. Telling my lima bean to hang on tight, and asking God to help me with my miracle! IDK, maybe my emotions are all just going a little wonky ?

Awh Honey! I know exactly how that feels...but you have all of us here staying positive for you!!

Thanks Jess!

So I was just thinking about when I initially O'd, and whether I was counting correctly. My O was at 11pm on Friday June 8th. So it was almost June 9th. I also had my IUIs on June 8th and 9th, about 12 hours before and 12 hours after my O. So the IUI timing was good, but am I counting DPO correctly? I counted Saturday Jun 9th as 1DPO, etc. Maybe I should have waited and counted Sunday as 1DPO? AHHHH.. I don't know what to think!!! I was also looking at charts that were similar to mine, and a good bunch of them were positive but not until 12-15DPO. So I guess there is still hope? I really just want to know so that I can stop this craziness!!!!

Of course there is still hope!! It is called a TWW! Two weeks is 14 days...so maybe let's wait 14DPO and count from Sunday...

OK! Sounds like a plan! I will know for sure by Friday afternoon, my FS scheduled me for a BETA test that morning, and they will have the results by that afternoon. So if I don't get a POAS then I'll definitely know by Friday.

When do you hear about your job?

The last two prospects are interviewing today and tomorrow. Then there will be a decision made about who makes it to the third round of interviews. Hopefully by the end of the week I will know if I made the cut. If I did, then they will schedule me to meet with the 5 VPs. That will be a grueling all day affair!!
So I guess you and I are both hoping to find out some good news on Friday.
Ooooohhhh the waiting.....

D-Day Friday! Well let's hope for the best!! Praying for good news on the job front for you, and little bambino for me! Oh and there is no doubt! I am totally and kind of emotional too. I'm not usually emotional like this, during the days leading up to AF.

I'm going nuts today, too, Ali. Feeling very impatient and distracted from working. Is in there or not???

I'm glad I'm not the only one!!! Course I don't wish this anxiety on anyone, but it is nice to know that I'm not alone. Hopefully we get some answers soon.. before we go totally I don't really have any symptoms right this moment, other than my heart feels like it is beating really fast. What is that about? I feel like I drank 3 cups of coffee or something (and I am hyper sensitive to coffee and don't drink it at all).

I think we may have found a permanent home for Keegan, and it will be just up the road from me! YAY! I am happy to know he will be safe and close so that we can visit and have play dates for Zach. He is one of my 2 permanent doxies, and he is going to miss his buddy Keegan!

I've attached a picture of my 3 babies, Zoe (top right, 9 yrs old), Zach (center 11 months), Keegan (top left 8 months). I joke that there is barely room for me on the couch!!

Awh! Your babies are too cute!! Are they good with children?

 

[alicatt]

Awh! Your babies are too cute!! Are they good with children?

Zoe is, she is really patient and sweet. I have not had Zach around kids or babies yet, but he is so Zen, I don't think he will be an issue at all. He is even more laid back and sweet. He's also a clutz, constantly falling off things, or tumbling off the couch. He is the class clown! I wish that picture was better, it is hard to take pictures of these 3 with my cell phone, it doesn't like moving targets! Plus the funky eyes.. LOL! They all look possessed!
