Hello Somegirl! I'm in the bay area too.... Welcome to ttc-land!

[somegirl99]

Thanks girls!

[veganmama719]

welcome somegirl!

yay for o'ing oceane and snowpea, I hope you both caught those eggies!

[Pelican]

Ok, so there are at least of few of us in the tww now... are any of you feeling mildly obsessed? I thought that I would be fine this time, as my timing was so off i really think there is not much chance. But the last few hours I have been doing a lot of nipple grabbing (my own that is ) so i'm worried this is the start of my obsessing. uh oh.

I'd be more concerned if you were obsessed with grabbing someone else's nipples

Sorry, I am in a really silly and goofy mood tonight I honestly think the TWW obsessing just comes with the territory, ykwim?

Hi everybody!

Thanks for all the congrats. I am still a little bit in shock at our early success. I am pretty sure it must have been the ritual and chant that DH and I did before the bds that pushed it over the edge

I have to admit that some of my slowness to joy comes from the timing. As I mentioned, one of my coworkers was in a car accident on 8/7 and his wife was killed. She was only 36 and they have a three year old son. Our bds were on 8/7 and 8/9, when I suspect O occured. So in my mind there is some strange linkage and melancholy about the arbitrariness of life. Why I ttc'd my 2nd basically the same day she lost her life out of the blue seems so random. Her memorial service is tomorrow so I am hoping that helps me move to a new phase.

SOOO! All the more reason to get some more of you on the bfp wagon! I need some company in 1st trimesterland.

Hello ladies!

Been busy working and getting ready to move, but wanted to come in and say hello.

I'm in my TWW, and NOT stressing. I refused to allow myself to look at charts, or to count cycle days multiple times per day. I'm happy and relaxed and feeling so much more mentally stable than last month
I really let myself get carried away last month. It is/it was so freeing to allow myself to not worry and obsess.

I think my thing was the pregnancy test itself. I wanted to see those lines so so badly, that I let myself become so involved with the tests, and ignored my feelings and just being. I've refocused that energy and feel great!

Anyways, I know how hard it is during the TWW. It was awful awful awful. Hope everyone is making it through okay and we get some (more!!!) lovely BFP!!!

Sending my love to you all!

[oceane]

we're trying really hard to join you, honeybee

Pelican, obsessing does come with the fact that we know where in the cycle we are. how can you not think about your dpo since it's right there staring at you! I am calm right now though because my boobs started hurting apparently at 1 dpo (according to ff) so that just sucks. classy PMS symptom for me PLUS now still 7 days at least ahead of me with this!

Hesperia, glad to here you're feeling better. enjoy your new home!

hi veganmama!

Congrats Jelinifer!!! :

I'm on CD 39 here with no sign of AF and BFN's on three different brands. This is just a really long cycle, I guess. (I'm 15 DPO.) My normal cycles are 34 or 35 days. Last cycle was just 33. Not sure what's going on! I'm worried that this cycle was anovulatory. My ectopic pregnancy was in my ovary, and I'm wondering if the fetus and/or treatment messed up my ovulation on that side. Anyway, I'm just waiting for AF to arrive!

Think of all of you, especially those in the 2 ww. I tend to obsess too!

[oceane]

oh my, Jen, this was not even your TTC cycle confess, you did sneak in the occasional sex, right? congrats, finally no more clomid for you and your DH can stop worrying about the swimmers, too : : :

[oceane]

becks, how frustrating! this might very well be a result of the miscarriage, I think it's fairly common to have a few wacky cycles after. did you chart?

Well, we still dtd every day for a week before O, but didn't bother propping my hips up on a pillow after each time like usual.... I just got up and used the bathroom each time.

Honestly, I think I can chalk this up to the HSG I had earlier in the cycle. For some reason pg rates rise slightly for gals for a month or two after the have the test because it clears mucus (cobwebs as my OB said ) and any other loose junk you have up there


...and DH isn't out of the gate yet. He's still going for his repeat S/A tomorrow in case this bean doesn't stick (Better safe than sorry)

CONGRATS!!!! : Sticky vibes to you!!! :

[becksteracious]

oceane I haven't been charting, but may start with this cycle, even though I know my temps will be all over the place. I haven't temped up until now because my work schedule varies so much that I will literally wake up at 4:45 one morning and 10:30 the next. DH works at night and I pick him up late, so I can't imagine setting an alarm early every morning to temp! I may just try it with the varying times and see what FF says. I have a feeling AF will come in the next day or two, then I can start my charting adventure!

[oceane]

becks, I understand, it may not be too easy then. there is some info on varying schedules in TCOYF, fyi. I was just wondering if you had any info on whether you really didn't ovulate or maybe just late. the joys of unpredictable bodies!

[becksteracious]

Just checking in. AF arrived today, as I thought it might. We're skipping next cycle because of my brother's wedding in June, so I'm going to try to relax until October. I'll still be peeking in here though!
