Max- 7DPO spotting can be a great sign of implantation! It ain't over 'til it's over!!!

I just have a second to pop in - but Lyndzies - I would totally have wanted to sock the woman too. I hate the way some healthcare providers are so flippant and something that is so not funny or cute. RRRRRR. So glad that you had a big bright BFP afterwards to ease your fears, I know that can't have been good for you after your DP already feeling her doubts.

Papa - your symptoms sound promising, I know the 2WW must be so much longer this time. Hugs!

Max - fingersx that it's implantation spotting

AFM - as predicted I am not pregnant. I got my BFN a few days ago. So I am off of the progesterone and just waiting for AF to show up full force. I am spotting so I know it's coming. Can I be moved to Waiting To O please?

I am a bit anxious about continuing on with our KD and aggravating them with our need to do more cycles. He and his wife have given us NO reasons to think they are tired of the arrangement, but it's my natural inclination to worry about things like that. They are probably going to start TTC #3 soon, and I don't want our need for sperm at the wrong times to interfere.

Hum..... so we have a major temp dip this morning @ 5 DPO. I am chosing to view it as a positive sign like an implantation dip (bt I cant help but worry at the same time). On FF they say that those usually occur a little later than 5 DPO tho so who knows... I guess we will know tomorrow.

Here is our chart if you wanna peek

Sarah- i would try to not get worked up if they haven't mentioned anything to you. Sperm doesn't just grow on trees and if they are still willing keeping riding that train till they say it stops! Stay positive and good luck!

8DPO temp is still high and I'm feeling better about the spotting!

Monarchgrrl: Thanks! Poor DP's having a rough time with the weepy feelings, but at least we deal with it in a healthy way. As for the qotd, Can DW bring you the baby to nurse during breaks at work possibly? Might make the milk supply last a lot longer!!

Lyndzies Right on about the FRER being blaringly positive!!!

FtMPapa I know what you mean about the pantyliners... lol... Do you sew? If not, I could totally make you some on the cheap!

maxK Yay for high temps and possible implantation spotting!!


QOTD-What are your plans for childcare: working, staying home, daycare, etc once the little one is here? I'm currently a SAHM, and DP works full time, but we will both be SAHM for a year since we're lucky enough that DP get 97% of her current income during mat leave which is a year long here. Then she will probably go back to work. Possibly even sooner that that... She LOVES to keep busy so I'm not sure how long staying at home will last.

sarahcecile : Perhaps an honest conversation with your donor is in order ? Even if it is to put your mind at ease. Remember, stress aint the best thing when TTC ! There is enough of it already !

Papa !! : Sounds like the signs are lining up nicely on your side !! How about a nice camo design for those liners ? It would hide stains well

j_on_planet : Welcome !!! Nice to meet you ! Hope your stay on this thread is as short as possible

Erthe Mama and Coco, I like how you two think! I do sew, if I am to stay knocked up, I'm going to make some, because things are positively GUSHING down there.

Oh, I hope, I hope, I hope it's a good sign!

I'll respond to everyone's post when I get home. Just wanted to let you know that Yesterday morning I had a positive opk (it was negative the night before) and I am going in for an IUI this morning at 8am. Wish me, the egg, the swim team and my cervix good luck!

Mistral GOOD LUCK!!!!

Coco - that sounds so promising.

AFM - I found an apartment on CraigsList that is a ten minute walk from where I live now, about $75 a month more, but about twice the size and it looks three times as nice as my current place. I'm taking this as a very good sign, and also as an excuse to test today, because if I knew the embies were still growing in there, it would make it more logical to look at a new, bigger, brighter, apartment, right?

(I am nutso.)

EEEEEEeeeee! Good luck! Let's have a whole string of BFPs on this board to close out January and begin February! I need some of my "family" in the October DDC.

Oh yay Lyndzies I'm glad you got a good line! Grrr dumb nurse!

Papa, everything sounds so great! Go little ones, go! And the apartment sounds so great! Are you thinking about moving for reals?

Coco, ummmm soooooo excited to hear!

QOTD: We will probably use some sort of childcare one or two days a week. I work 32 or 40 hours per week (depending on the time of year) and my partner has her own business, and is hoping to drop down to 4 days by the time the kid is here.

I would love a full 3 months of maternity leave, then back part time for a while, but it will have a lot to do with when the kid is born. My busy season for work is tax time and just before, so if this cycle is it, I will only have just barely 2 months off, then will need to go back to full time for 4 months.
