The Awesome ONE THREAD for Dec. 5th - Dec. 11th - Page 9

callie - congrats!!!!  Is it possible that you O'ed a little later than you thought, and maybe you aren't as many DPO as you thought?  My fingers are crossed for a sticky bean for you! 

love4bob - Good luck at catching that egg while DH is home! 

AFM - I had some cramps last night, and this morning I have brown-tinted CM.  I'm hoping that it's not my normal pre-AF spotting starting super early.  Oh, and my temp plummeted this morning.  Fantastic.

CONGRATS TO THE s!!!

[Sourire]

callieollie - that line looks very obvious to me! congrats! sending you sticky vibes

AFM - went to my company christmas party last night and got totally wasted. It was so bad that I am still drunk this morning, even after throwing up many many times. Getting this drunk is NOT good for TTC! Damn my coworkers and their rounds of shooters, they are evil!

Actually, that's how we conceived #3! LOL! I don't even remember the night.......  It's the only time we DTD that week, so I know that was the night! Totally not planned. Getting drunk when CTA does not mix well. I didn't even think about being fertile. lol.

It's just such a late BFP compared to my 2 kids (at 11dpo) and I have NO pregnancy symptoms. This is exactly what it was like when I miscarried. I didn't get a positive until 15dpo and I never had any symptoms. So I don't feel like I can celebrate yet. I'm supposed to let my OB know if I get pregnant so he can measure my progesterone and get me back on supplements if I need it but of course it's Saturday and I don't even know if he's in and I have to leave for work in 10 minutes and won't be home until 3:00.  

I think you ovulated later (cd16?) making you only 14dpo. And previous pregnancy HPT dpo's don't dictate future ones - that little bean can implant whenever it wants! LOL So i would celebrate! That is def a line!

Callieollie...   Congratulations!!!

Cbaa10...   I can never recall who is taking what, have you tried a B Complex? It can sometimes help a shorter LP. I credit starting a B Complex with my first BFP.

Everybody have a Reproductive Weekend!!!

[toothfairy2be]

Stevi- I'm taking b6 & b12. I probably should have taken b50 & 100 too.

[LadyJennifer]

Congrats Callie!! I was just thinking last night after looking at your chart that maybe you o'd later and maybe you are pregnant. I had a light pos on a dollar store test and very obvious line on FRER and CBE digital same day/same pee:P

[TalkToMeNow]

Hi everyone!  I'd like to join in here.  Please put me in Waiting to O.  This is our second month ttc #4 (I have 2, dp has 1).  I'm super excited to finally be back here! Good luck to everyone!

Congrats to all the BFPs!!!

AFM: I'm officially NTNP until the beginning of the year when I start temping. (That's only one cycle, but still.)

By symptoms and past months, I am 99.9% sure I ovulated between CD 10-12.

However, the advanced setting on FF is not picking it up.

Research method is saying CD 10, and Fertility Awareness method is saying CD12.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Thanks!

 KTbug,

I definitely don't think you O'd yet and I definitely think that last month's show O day is wrong.  It was maybe CD19. 

I get one or two patches of EWCM before I get even near my O time every month.  I might for instance get EWCM at CD9 but then have a couple of dry days and a little more EW then O on CD 16.
 

[callieollie]

Thanks everyone!  I guess I could have ovulated later but I had pretty clear drying up of the CM so I'd be surprised.  I'm just hoping it sticks. I feel a lot like I did when I miscarried a week later.  Keep your fingers crossed/say your prayers for me. Thanks!

Congrats Callieollie!!!  I really hope it is a sticky one for you

Callie: sending you the strongest sticky baby vibes I can muster...

Sourire - my 11 year old was totally a Christmas party baby!  I got so drunk I was throwing up and he was conceived that night.  September is a lovely time to have a baby...

[gozal]

Thanks so much for all the kind words, guys! Cbaa10, you are one smart Googler. :) Thank you! I am so glad to see the article - I don't do supplements in pill form so food advice is perfect for me. Actually many of the things in the article I eat regularly, but I'm going to write down the list and put it on the fridge and go nuts with the menu planning. Because I have to keep myself busy over here in babycrazyville.

Huge congrats to all the BFPs! Callieollie, you are in my prayers. TTCCorC, I hope your NTNP month is refreshing and maybe even that you get some answers from your husband's checkup in the coming month. He sounds like a keeper, that one! Hope your dog is still doing okay & no more seizures. (Major dog lover here, though I am not currently owned by one.)

I literally LOLed at all your Xmas party stories. Too funny. I needed that!

[bonadl2]

callieollie- Congrats!

A2E -- I know what you mean about considering not temping and having the lack of a temp chart actually stress you out even more.  I thought about not temping this cycle to really try to "relax" but the thought of not knowing my actual O date, etc. just drove me bonkers!

12 DPO.  AF-like cramping.  Temps still up.  Longest LP 14 days.  So, still have 2 days to go and she feels like she's banging on my door.  We'll see what tomorrow's temps bring.  Happy to have holiday baking and shopping to distract me!  This is my least stressful (well....TTC stress anyway) yet! 

[MommyMatsumoto]

Congrats to the recent BFPs!!  Blessings to you and your families.

AFM, just got back from a 2-day trip to Disneyland.  Yesterday (CD12) I had lots of cramping and I've been nauseous off-and-on which I'm thinking is due to the soy I took on CDs 5-9.  I hope to O earlier than my usual CD20 or so, but need to hold off until at least Monday night when I'll be reunited with my hubby.

I got really sick on Thurs(CD 14), so we didn't dtd that day. I made myself do it on CD 15 even though I wasn't feeling great. What do you think the chances of getting pregnant are? I have been so impatient too.... I want to test! lol. When do you think I'd be able to get a BFP if I'm pregnant? We soooooo want this since it's pretty much our only chance to have #4. He won't be home again for 6 more months, and getting pregnant then would not work out because of me graduating college and getting a job in 2012. :( SO in the 2WW praying I'm pregnant!!!

Hoping for a BFP for you very soon!

 callieollie - looks like a line! Like everyone else said, the dollar store tests do not show as dark as other. I have a dollar store and a ic the I used the same pee for and the ic is significantly darker. I will keep you in my prayers though! Stick little bean! I know how scary this wait is!

cbaa2010

 Sourire - Glad you had a good time! Sorry you feel crummy now though! Sometimes cutting loose is just what the doctor ordered though!

 MommyMatsumoto  - that O waits a couple days!

[Veronika01]

Congrats on all the BFPs!

I'm on CD32 and will test next weekend if A/F doesn't show up.  I don't really think I'm pg, just that it's a lot of postpartum crazies happening.
