Thanks, Kami, you are awesome!  Hope you enjoy your trip/visit, and your travels are safe.  Happy New Year!

[LionessMom]

according to everything i guess i havent o'ed yet. so i would still be in waiting to catch first pp egg.

i also have a second chart. they say the same thing so if you wanna link it you can...

http://www.tcoyf.com/members/LionessMom/charts/1.aspx

tcoyf is slightly different to use and it rounds all your temps for you.

still dont know what is going on with me. i think maybe my body is gearing up. i have been hit by major mod swings. even if i did o tomorrow i am sure DH wouldnt touch me with a 10 foot pole... he said that jokingly yesterday. he even held up a stick and acted afraid. :shrug it would be funny if i werent so pissy all the time. i seem to have no control over it. everybody here now has a cold and poor DD1 has bronchial immflammation to go with it. my digestion has gotten wacky too. i seem to have diarrhea. but only once a day. it is wierd. still havent gone to get blood taken again.  i am thinking monday bc DS will have that day off school. i can just leave the kids home for the 30 min it will take to go there and back.

i have been so tired lately, prob the cold going around. but i have to get up and do something. i really need to finish this thing i am making for a friend for her baby. i have been putting it off too long..... oh and clean the house too i guess..... if i have to.

Hi fellow nursing mama's

6DPO here, hopefully. I'll begin testing in a few days... I'm so nervous. I'm totally expecting AF to show up, and probably out of order, knowing my luck! A good friend of mine is also TTC and AF just showed up for her, so I am even more nervous now!!

TMI-- is it usual to have tons of lotiony CM with strands after O'ing? Ever since a few days after my positive OPK I've been having this. I have way more CM right now than I did when I was "supposed" to be O'ing... weird.

Anyway, I'm totally bored but already obsessing over implantation! I refuse to DTD until AF shows You know- just in case. LOL!

[Xerxella]

Can I join?  I probably should wait to my next cycle, but I saw this thread pop up and I thought I'd jump in now. 

We're TTC #3:  http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/21b89c

I'm nursing DD and since I've started TTC #3, it seems like she wants to nurse more than ever!  It's about 4 x's a day now, but somedays it feels like everytime I turn around.  I think she sensed me pulling away a little, so clung tighter.  So, I'm trying to postpone and distract and not say no and that seems to be working. 

Also, I'm 8 DPO now, so maybe I won't be here long. 

Good luck everyone!

I can't believe I get to say this right now- but I just got a BFP!  Not exactly sure what the EDD would be since I didn't exactly listen to my doctor's advice on waiting until after I had a cycle

I think it would be around 9/9/2011 based off of when I think I o'd.

       Congrats, ms_quoted! I am so happy for you & wish you all the best!      

Wishing everyone a happy 2011, I think it's going to be a great year! Come on BFPs!!!

[~~Sarah~~]

Updated To Here


I attempted to try and update the list from my
phone.

ms_quoted~Congrats

~~sarah~~~Congrats

xerxella~ welcome to the group. I will add
You to the list when I get home on Tuesday I'm out of town and posting
from my phone.

[kismetbaby]

Woohoo!   Congrats Sarah and Ms Quoted! ! !

Awesome way to start the new year!

I'm thinking I may not be around here much. . .I'll check in still to wish you mamas luck and hopefully see lots of BFPs, but I've decided that I'd rather wait till DS is 2 (or nearly 2) before getting pg.  I think my body isn't ready to be fertile yet anyway and my BFing relationship with DS is just too important to me to risk messing with. I don't want to stress over TTC before my body is ready and I don't want to risk loosing my milk supply.  If we did get pg, we'd be happy about it, and I'll still be curious about my returning cycles. . .but I'm making my New Years resolution to be happy with the moments I have and not obsessing so much about the future I can't predict.  Besides we all had the stomach flu here the past few days and I remembered how terrible nausea is!  I'm not sure I'm ready for 1st tri misery just yet.  

Anyway, not to lessen anyone else's desire for BFPs, I have just come to this personal conclusion.  But I'm sure the TTC bug will still follow me. Happy New Year mamas!

[Vegan Princess]

Got my day 3 hormone test results back. My FSH level is half of what it was and is in the normal range!!! I am SOOOOO releived and thankful!!! :-) Now just have to restest progesterone levels later to see if they are normal and that I am ovulating. Phew phew phew!

Congrats Sarah and Ms_Quoted!!!!! What a tremendous start to the new year!

Socali: Hope you are having a nice trip!

[GreenMamma]

Congratulations, ms_quoted and sarah! What a fantastic way to begin the year!

BrittBBT - lots of lotiony cm is normal after Oing (particularly when pregnant....)

Kismet - enjoy your babe. it sounds like you have found a lot of peace with your decision to hold off. :)

AFM - Late Oing stinks big time. Anyway, I'm on cd 23 now and while I thought maybe I had O'd two days ago, my temp reminds me that I didn't. Darn cervix likes to play head games with me. And I have an appt with a urogynecologist on Monday to fully evaluate the prolapse situation. Maybe after the stress of waiting to get through that appt is over my ovaries will decide to cooperate.

[Xerxella]

Congrats Ms Quoted and Sarah!  May many more BFPs follow you!!!!

[Ava's Mama]

Hi there, happy new year!  I am in 2WW, I think I am 12 dpo. 

[NolliesMama]

I'm back. I started spotting yesterday evening and a few hours later the flow was much heavier. I had betas drawn today but there is no way the baby is okay. =(

Has anyone who this has happened to had issue with their milk supply after a m/c?

[peaches' mom]

So sorry, NolliesMama. Take care of yourself.  

I can't comment re: milk supply.

[blissful_maia]

ms_quoted, congratulations! My ds was conceived the first egg after a miscarriage! Wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months!

~~Sarah~~, congrats and all the best to you, too!!

NolliesMama, I had my miscarriage when I was nursing a two-year-old and didn't see much affect. The only time my milk supply dropped was during my next pregnancy at about 20 weeks and even then dd just kept on nursing away!

[Ava's Mama]

You can move me to waiting to O, I got my period today.  My first PP cycle was 26 days, is that long enough to conceive?  Trying out the Diva cup for the first time today and I am so scared of getting it stuck!
