I'm really thinking that I'm pregnant! I know I've O'd and all of a sudden I started having LOTS and LOTS of EWCM. I had the same thing with both pregnancies in the past. And I think we timed it pretty well this month. I'm hoping that's the case!! I should be 5-7 days DPO right now so it makes sense that I'd start to have some of these early symptoms. :=) Fingers crossed for me ladies!!!! :) And congrats AFwife!!!

so happy for the BFP ladies. Good luck with everything.

So I have to tell you what my DH said today. He is so cute. We were driving in the car and he randomly said, "I think the other night when I woke you up to make love was the night that we got it." So I asked him, why do you think that particular time, it was pretty special huh? And he said, " that's not it at all, it's just that you were really wet that night." So I asked him if he was paying attention to my CM and he grinned and said yes. So of course I immediately responded with, "Wow, I have got to go on MDC to post that!"

Time will tell...........................

I am beyond excited.....but still very cautiously optimistic after our previous loss in March. So anyway, for now you can add me to the BFP's!!

Congrats!!! My fingers are crossed and I will keep you in my prayers

Thank you!!!! I'll take all that baby dust, although I'm not as sure of my cycle as I thought I was. LOL. I swore I O'd already because I got faint positive OPKs and EWCM (although not as much as normal) over a week ago. Now in the last 2 days lots and lots of EWCM so this morning I took a pregnancy test and an OPK and guess what? OBVIOUSLY + OPK and - HPT.... soo.... back to the drawing board. And the babymaking. haha. we DTD this morning and I hope we caught it. took another OPK tonight and it was still very positive. Hoping I either haven't O'd quite yet or it was today so we got it in time. Either way I think I'm in a pretty good place. So thank you for all the baby dust and please continue to send it our way! :)

Tara- OMG CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am sending SOOOO MUCHHHHH sticky baby dust your way. It's ok to get excited I think. And just remember to focus on the fact that you're pregnant today. Don't worrry about the future, just think of how blessed you are to be pregnant today! :) Good luck!!! Keep us posted!!!

DH sounds funny, the day I got my bfp my DH said, i could have told you last night that you are pregnant cos you felt different (my vjayjay did anyway when we dtd)!!

Way to go with all the new BFPS

so I was driving home on the freeway in the rain, and I got a little smurk on my face because I realized I got to come home for monday check in. I have no idea why, but monday check in makes me feel that much closer to concieving. Like I'm doing something to keep track of my progress. I know, crazy. Makes no sense!

Monday Check-In:
Name:Vic
Date: May 17th
Chart:
Where are you in your cycle: CD19
Appointments:
Symptoms if they apply: I wish but no luck
Testing:not yet
Thoughts: I had some cramping on Saturday afternoon which I think was O. If so, we had good timing the night before and that morning. So maybe I'm 2DPO which would explain why I have no symptoms. I wanted to try OPK's for the first time this cycle, but my fertile time snuck up on me and I was unprepared. If we don't get it this month I will try that next month.

I can do it if no one else is up for it. But I don't know how to do it. LOL. Sorry you're not feeling like yourself Anjuli, but at the same time isn't it great to know that it's because you're PREGNANT?!?! haha.

so my OB's office called today and said they want to give me an ultrasound on the 28th. I'm due for AF on the 29th. I wonder if the tech will see a pregnancy and be able to tell me the good news.

About four or five months ago I had abdominal pain and an ultrasound found a cycst. I went in and my dr said it was super common, barely there, and would just fix itself no problem. Now I get a random call saying my dr ordered a follow up ultrasound. Maybe it was a bigger deal than she led on? I am not worried about it though. Actually I feel really lucky that I get a peek in my uterus right around the time I find out if this was our month. I'm excited.

Good Luck trekinggirl, I hope you get a good surprise!

Things have been pretty quiet around here, how's everybody doing? I am enjoying a brief break from school before summer session starts in a couple of weeks. I don't feel super confident about this cycle, and next month I have to take a break from the Clomid. We will be going on vacation so maybe taking a break to relax will be a good thing.

Maybe next month you can really cut back on dtd. you know, hardly do it at all since you don't think you have a great shot anyway. It'd be a good excuse to recharge both of your batteries. And then by the next cycle you'll be so amped up for each other that maybe it'll be more "natural" anyway. Just a thought. Good luck!! I'll have my fingers crossed for you!

Trekingirl- good luck with the ultrasound!!!! I hope you get to see a little baby bean in there! :)

oh and also I just wanted to share something else... I'm 4-5 DPO right now and have insatiable hunger! I realize it's pretty early for that to be a pregnancy symptom but I'd like to think so anyway. haha. Literally last night at dinner I had 2.5x what I would normally eat. Then an hour later I was still hungry so I had a banana smothered in crunchy peanut butter. And another hour later I was hungry again and craving scrambled eggs with shredded cheddar cheese and diced tomatoes. haha. I ate 2 eggs fixed like that. It's insane!! I've never eaten like this.... ever! If I'm not pregnant I think I'll be a little worried because I must have some sort of parasite or something. haha. :) just wanted to share this. I'm DYING to know if this is our cycle or not because it was pretty perfectly timed! :)
