June 30-Something Mamas TTC #2 or more - Page 3

post #41 of 139
Hi, I'd like to jump in here. My name is Jennifer. I have two children ages 10 and 7 from a previous relationship. Current DP and I have been together two years. A new babe will be his first. This is the second cycle of TTC. I haven't charted, but think I am going to take it up this cycle. So far all I am going on is my cycle dates--3/21, 4/28, and 5/31.

I have never actively TTC, my two children were accidental blessings. I am a very inpatient person and waiting is killing me. I feel like I have plans to have a baby and it should just happen when I want (like NOW). I'm hoping I can come here to help keep me calm and keep things in perspective. It is helpful for me to type things out, especially since I don't want to share too much of this with IRL friends.

If I am missing any information in my intro, feel free to ask.

Ok ladies, I almost don't want to even post this because, well, it could really mean nothing but....
I got a squinter today. I mean squinter! It came up within the time limit, it was as wide as the control, and now that it has dried it's still there, just reeeaaaallly light. I mean anyone with an untrained eye would not see it. So it's going to be one of those wait & see... It won't show up in a pic, sorry. I feel like it's almost too good to be true. As happy as I am that my dh is being so nice, I almost wish he hadn't said anything. Talk about fueling the fire of obsession! I do have a few good early symptoms. Oh well, I will certainly keep you all posted.
Oh and the test I used is new for me. I used 2 last cycle - no question snow white, and one yesterday - also snow white. I'm not sure if they are known for frequent evaps. It was within the time limit and I have had evaps within the time limit, but they were always "off" like in the wrong spot or skinny. The one this am was nice and fat.
Breathe, Amy.... stay in control, Amy... don't turn into an obsessive monster, Amy...

How's everyone else? It was pretty quiet yesterday.

It makes no sense at all why it won't give you cross hairs. Did you play around & put another high temp for tomorrow? I had issues with ff this cycle too, but now we are friends again.

Oh my I just did what you said put in two more days of high temps, and no CH. This is annoying.

I know you're still feeling cautious, but that sounds so promising! I really hope it's your BFP!!
post #49 of 139
Amy, that sounds really, really promising!

Forthekids123, I have no idea why they won't give you a coverline. Your temp rise is slow but it looks pretty obvious to me!

Welcome maxnmaizy!

No updates for me. Unless you count being 10 DPO and getting one sad little after another! I just keep telling myself that both my dd's I didn't get a + until 12-14 DPO, and on top of that, there is a slight possibility of me being only 9 DPO today. Still I was hoping for a nice fat pink line today.

Amy.... Ohhhh I am so hopeful for you!!!! Keep us posted!
Welcome maxnmaisy! Hope your stay here is fun but short!!!!!
AFM- Just CD7. Checking out the OPK sale going on. Hey have you all seen that the British Clearblue Easy Digital test includes a CONCEPTION gestimation as well. Pretty Cool I thought. Can't find it around here though. Has anyone seen it?
Also, I know alot of you don't do a digital HPT first. Why is that? Does anyone have any preferred brands for OPKs and HPTS?
Thank for weighing in.
Blessing of fertility to all,
Alison

I couldn't resist, here it is naked

and with saturation added

I know it's early and it's a serious squinter, but it's the most promising line I've had in forever!

ACK! I don't mean to say that's a bfp! But thanks
post #54 of 139
Amy! That looks pretty good!!!!

Mollie-

Jennifer-

Forthekids- Weird. I don't think I'm going to get crosshairs at all this month because my temps have been so up and down.

Lousli- You've got time!

AFM- Nothing. I think I may test on DP's birthday (next thursday). For all my cheering a few days ago, I'm not feeling as optimistic today. Who knows though....I wasn't optimistic at all when I tested for DS on MY birthday...but it was +.

So in my crazy state I decided to take an OPK this morning as well (I've taken them the past 3 days) and today it is much darker than the past 2 days, like nearly positive. That has made me hopeful again.
post #56 of 139
Hi ladies! I've been gone the last couple of months. Things have just been crazy. Back now though. Haven't been charting this month, but have been doing lots of BD.

Does this mean you will be ovulating in the next few days? Or ovulation today? I'm not sure how the OPK works. Sounds like a fun weekend!!

I think last cycle I ovulated in the middle of the week, which is not such a great time for getting lucky as both dp and I are exhausted by the time we hit the bed. It looks like it might be mid-week next cycle too. Guess I'm just gonna have to get creative with my seduction. Make him an offer he can't refuse.
