Yay Karen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations

Hi to the new ladies.

Vegan you are still my inspiration.


Too busy and tired to catch up with everyone. I'm on CD9 and starting some CM hmmm seems like I may be back to normal. Cross your fingers ladies maybe this will be a normal cycle and we will stand a chance this month.

Gotta run getting the house ready for appraisal so we can refinance saving $1500.00 per month if it goes through. We really need thi so any good vibes you can send us are greatly appreciated.

hi kristin !

nice to see you. good luck on the appraisal and on this cycle ! ! !

xoxo

It felt good to feel that, but it hurts so bad to have it dashed yet again....
Yet another cycle with "perfect" length and timing and no luck. I guess that despite being very healthy and having textbook predictible cycles, my eggs are simply feeling my 42 years...surely I must have one good one left???
Beautiful sunny day here, but hard to care at the moment.
Sorry for the gloomy post, will try to cheer myself and be thankful for what I have. I just needed to vent a little, some days are so hard.
Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend.

i'm sorry. sending you : peace and light !

Well, the digital test was a BFN.

BUT...i think my urine is really dilute mid-day. I mean, I was doing OPKs during the right time, testing in the afternoon like the instructions said, and I NEVER got a surge. Yet I definitely O'd. So...dilute urine=false negative, right? There were two tests in the package, so I'm going to use the other one in the AM. I tend to have to pee around 3 or 4 in the morning, and I've been using that pee (into a cup and dipping later) for the testing.

MM, you SO need to go to the Dollar Store and use some of those tests! Do it in the morning, and we can both post our BFPs!! :

OK I will go the Dollar Tree today and use that one in the am. I may take another internet cheapie after nap then. : for both of us

Floradix is really spendy, and I was taking it, but at the dose my midwife wanted me on, I would have had to buy a bottle every few days. Sigh. I wish there were a more affordable option that wasn't so hard on my body.
Good luck Karen and Laurie! Hope you both get BFPs soon!

[Stealthee]

Laurie and Karen: : Hoping to hear about two BFP's tomorrow!!!

Karen: I think the digitals are less sensitive than a lot of the other HPT's, so I really think it was just a matter not using FMU. Good luck with the next test!

[ginadc]

Thanks for the welcomes, everyone!

Thinking +++++++ vibes for Karen and MM tomorrow!

I'm trying not to read too much into this, but when DS has nursed today I've felt really noticeable twinges in my breast (I only lactate on the one side due to radiation). He's been BFing so long that I really haven't had any sort of "let-down" feeling in ages; I honestly barely feel it when he latches on these days. But this morning, I was like, "Yipes!" The other sessions today were less noticeably twingey, but still more sensitive than usual. And Nursing Boob still feels sensitive to the touch, too, although Non-Nursing Boob doesn't really.

Hoping, hoping, hoping...at least 9-10 more days until it realistically makes sense to test, though.

[WaturMama]

: : : Karen1968!! May that line get darker and darker.

MM, sounds so promising. This is the most days you've gotten into a cycle in a long time isn't it? The HCG range for healthy pregnancies is very wide. You could easily be pg and have a BFN even on a very sensitive test at this point. Here's some good info on that: http://www.ttcdreams.com/hpt.html

Halifax. It is discouraging, I know what you mean and my heart goes out to you. And...I'm not giving up hope on this cycle for you yet, I had a little bleeding at the time I expected my period with my first 2 pregnancies. I hopehopehope it turns out to be that.

Gina, definitely a potentially good sign. :

Stealthee, I love your new siggy! :

Kristin, sounds promising for back to normal. Sending good wishes for your refinance.

[massaginmommy]

I haven't even said anything to DH yet. I don't want him to worry. I will let you ladies know what happens tomorrow. TMI we had pretty vigorous sex this afternoon and still no af.
Thanks for the link Waturmama I got my bfp with my last child at 32 days. So we shall see

[homebirthy]

For WaturMama:
[QUOTE=WaturMama;14239319]I've been working with a homeopath for a few years on a constitutional remedy to address my asthma and tendency to get colds.

My son had a tendency to get colds all winter with breathing difficulties/ asthma happening with each one. He has found MAJOR relief with the Salt inhaler. It's just salt so no problem when you are pregnant!! Here's one place that writes about it....

http://www.himalayansaltinhaler.com/

It worked so well I also bought one for my Dad who frequently gets bronchitis and he made it through last winter with only one episode when he left his salt pipe at home when visiting a friend. Really an amazing little device!!

Hugs,
Amy

Thanks everyone for the supportive words and thanks WaturMama for holding out hope for me. After the faint tinging yesterday morning I had nothing for the rest of the day so started to have a glimmer of hope return, and then last night just before bed I began to have some real spotting, woke to AF this morning. Body teased me with a 15 day LP this month, just enough to give me some faint hope for an extra day.

Oh well, had my little cry yesterday, now time for chin back up and onto next cycle...and off to work shortly, have a great day everyone and sending good vibes to those still in TWW.

[MI_Dawn]

Started Maca (for me AND him) this cycle... I'm CD13, lots of EWCM, BDing every day... : :

Oh and can someone add my chart to the front page?

[massaginmommy]

Ladies I had a slight temp dip this morning but still decided to test. I was going to report BFN but upon closer examination I am pretty sure I see an ever so slight line. Still using internet cheapies as they seem to be the most sensitive according to the sight Waturmama linked to.
I will test again tomorrow. I checked the answer strength and it is 100mlu so not that sensitive. I may dip it anyway as I haven't dumped out my pee yet.

[massaginmommy]

MI_Dawn I added your chart

So apparently the tests I am using are 25mlu including the Answer. I will just test again tomorrow or maybe later on today. LOL the things I read in the packaging said if you get a negative and your period doesn't come wait two days and test again. Ya like that is going to happen! I am obsessed now.

Hooray! Yes, please do keep testing! The first test I took had only the very slightest line...so barely noticable, that both DH and I dismissed what we were seeing.

So...I did three tests this morning, all with the same pee. Internet cheapie, Dollar store test, FRER....All were POSITIVE!!!!

:::

Plus, my temp was higher today than yesterday. I'm so pleased and so excited. :

One thing I haven't talked to anyone about....I was always sure I was going to have a daughter, esp. the first time I got pregnant. Then that pregnancy didn't develop, and I miscarried...and I admit to some disappointment when I realized my second pregnancy was a boy. I love my son to death, but still felt there was a daughter our there for me. And when I realized a couple of days ago that I was probably pregnant, I just had this feeling that my daughter was back again. That she was supposed to join us the first time, but her body didn't turn out quite right so she had to wait. And now she's here (I just don't know how I'll feel if this baby ends up being a boy!! )

Karen1968 :How exciting!!!!! :

MM

Halifax

AFM- Started lupron shots over the weekend, the first of many wonky things I will do to my poor old bod to gear up for the embryo transfer- September 16 is the best estimate. It's crazy to think about, in one month I have about an 82% chance of being pg. On June 3 we were saying there was no way we could do this, couldn't handle it, couldn't afford it, and here we are, surprisingly peaceful about it. We have paid for a guarantee program, so we will get up to 3 fresh transfers and unlimited frozen, no baby, we get our money back. It's really happening!

Yay Karen!!!! : I am so excited for you. I will keep testing. I just can't imagine why my period would be this late other than being pregnant. I am a little afraid.
