thanks for the new thread!

soooo sorry AF found you all!!! but here's to a new cycle, and hopefully new life!!! 

afm- DH is being more 'active' with me, good thing cuz I'm in pos opk territory now!  thanks for all the commiseration ladies. I'm glad someone agrees with me that the good stuff cant be waisted! haha!

fertile thoughts to you all!

[Rainey Daye]

I'm actually in the 2WW right now. AF is due on Thursday, but I'm crossing my fingers that a baby happened instead. I had some weird cramping that happened when getting up too quickly and some slight nausea early in the week last week. Then a tiny bit of pink when wiping yesterday and a smidge of stringy brown today...so I'm SO hoping that that was all from implantation and that my Bug will get to be a big brother early next year. 

[Sourire]

thanks for the new thread Sila!

Sorry AF found you yesterday belacmsage, cbaa and PrenatalCoach... the 2ww sure has been depressing recently, I sure hope we get some BFP's soon!

cbaa - I love that phrase "being a crab apple", I think I'll use it too :)

AFM - the rest of my family is off doing the bike tour and I'm sitting at home hemorrhaging. Boo. The good news is that now I have time to go the hairdresser so that I can look all pretty for my conference next week (I have to give a presentation in front of hundreds of people, yikes!)

[tantylynn]

Thanks for the new thread! *hugs* to all the people AF found. She seems to be especially vicious at the moment! 

I'm pretty much just Waiting for AF now, but I'll hold off asking to be moved, just in case FF decides to change my crosshairs later. DH and I didn't get one BD in the fertile period if it's right, so this is going to be a pretty stress-free 2WW. Upside is that I may have Od on CD14, which would be a 28 day cycle for me which NEVER happens. Hopefully this is a sign of good things to come! I've changed the URL of my chart. Could my chart please be updated? link - http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/tlynn Thanks!

We really need some June BFPs!!! 

Ps. Gozal are you holding out on sharing some exciting news with us???

[Gemmine]

Hey guys! Any cycle buddies 4-5 DPO?

Sourire: So sorry you had to miss your bike ride :-(

Yes, where is Gozal??

Good luck vivica and texanromaniac!

[TenzinsMama]

Thanks for the new thread!  Wow, we sure are due to be seeing some bfps for June, I tell ya!  For all those who AF found recently, I know how much that sucks.  And to those who have some glimmers of hope appearing, we're all rooting for you! 

AFM, I'm 8 dpo, and AF remains at bay... I'm going day by day...trying to keep myself distracted-- well, when I'm not on the forum!  

[gozal]

Awww, OdinsMommy, Tantylynn, Gemmine, you are too sweet! Wait till you hear my crazy story and you'll see why it took me so long to share! Here it is, x-posted from the Infertility One Thread:

Well, guys, you are not going to believe this. Last Tuesday, 7dpo, I got that nice implantation dip and wondered, "hmmm, will my temp go nice and high again tomorrowor am I just getting AF on this bizarre cycle?" The next morning, yeah, temp went up...to 101. I have been sick in bed since then! It was so unusual, because no one else in the house was sick, and usually we get sick in predictable waves - DS, 24 hours later me, 24 hours later DH. Plus, when was the last time I ran a fever? I don't even remember. I slept for almost four days straight! On Friday, though, 10dpo, a strange twinge gave me the incentive to stay awake long enough to test. I took the little strip and put it down on my nightstand and closed my eyes. A few minutes later, I sort of lifted my head up as minimally as possible and there was a clear second line on there. Thereupon, I uncover superhuman strength and run around the house sobbing hysterically while checking the second line by the light of all the windows. It's there! It's real! Of course, I now convince myself that somehow me moving the strip around too much caused a false positive, so I dip another strip (different kind of cheapie for extra verification power) and lay it absolutely flat. The second line comes up. I start sobbing all over again and call DH at work. Luckily I manage to get the news out before I break down in joyous crying so he doesn't think something terrible has happened. I harness remaining super flu-busting strength to drive myself to the drugstore (DS is at preschool) to pick up some Tylenol and some way-too-expensive digital tests. Yes+! Not only am I overjoyed because I want this pregnancy with all my soul, but because we learned DH has to be away on business for a week...right when I would have expected to o next time. And to make it worse, that week is my birthday. But instead...best birthday gift ever?!

I am going in tomorrow (Monday) for a beta level. Still a little freaked out that I had a fever the second I got pregnant but my RE reassured me, and everything I've read says fever (higher than what I had in any case) is dangerous starting at about 14dpo because of the neural plate. But, if it's okay, I'll wait to be moved, just because I'm superstitious like that.

I am hoping this June BFP madness visits lots of other mamas here! Seriously, I don't know what I would have done without you guys. I know I've missed a lot on the boards, I have to go now but I'll be back tonight to catch up!

[Dandy Lion]

Hugs to everyone who got a visit from AF Good luck on the new cycles!

Sila: Did you temp yesterday and today? I'm hoping your temps stayed up and you finally ovulated.

Gozal, I really want to hear your story!

AFM: I played around with the analyzing systems on fertility friend. On Fertility Awareness and Research I got dashed crosshairs on day 12. At this point I'm going to think POSITIVE, feel confident I ovulated, and relax because my dip and spotting was due to implantation of course. Now all I have to do is wait while I build up enough HCG to get a BFP! I'm 12dpo now, and AF is due on Wednesday according to FF. I think I'll hold off testing until then, but FF doesn't suggest I test until next Sunday so it'll be okay if I'm still negative. In the meantime, I am distracting myself with as many things possible. Yesterday was my dd ballet performance and I was busy volunteering all day. And work this week should be pretty crazy. I'm also creating a scrapbook for my daughter's school years (she'll be starting Kindergarten in the fall). I'm premaking all of the pages now, so as the years go by all I have to do is drop in photos, memorabilia, and add journaling.

[Dandy Lion]

Yay Gozal!

[brichole1214]

Thanks for the new thread!  I think I'm still dangling in this last cycle...but i wish the witch would just hurry and show her ugly face.  I'm not really "bleeding" red or pink yet and it's not an actual "FLOW" so i'm still on my last cycle...but i am spotting "brown" blood (which i'm guessing is old blood) and so if AF could just show up i could move on to my next cycle.....i'll stay where i am though with waiting to O because i just don't "feel" pregnant...and i KNEW i was pregnant with Emma.  I hate the unknown though.

hugs to everyone who af found!!! she's a very evil woman!

Gozal:  I already said this in the Infertility One Thread but CONGRATS!!! I'm so happy for you!! I saw the + on your chart the other day but i didn't wanna jinx ya or say it before you announced it here.  STICKY BEAN VIBES!!!!!!

[BubbleMa]

Congrats Gozal!  What a cute story.  :)

Sorry for those of you AF found.  :( 

I have a feeling this summer is going to be very fruitful for us all. :D  Lots of BFPs coming our way! 

AFM, still waiting to O.  Should be any minute now. :)  I've been taking Maca religiously, which is huge for me, because I never remember to take anything every day.  Especially something that tastes awful.  :)  It seems to be paying off because my CM is getting stretchier and more "egg white" like every day.  :D  Woohoo! 

[Stevi]

Gozal...   CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! I hope the next year is full of more happy surprises!!!

[Sourire]

Gozal - That's amazing!!!! CONGRATS!

[vivica2]

tantyl- i lookd at your chart....im not sure you've ovulated yet, so keep taking the oks, and keep bd. your cm doesnt point to o yet. :)

gozal- YIPEEE!!!!!!

bubblema- cycle buddies, we are....waiting around to o isnt so bad what with all the perks. ;)

afm- crampy, and wet... not as fun as it sounds. ;)  (this ttc stuff is gross! glad i have you guys to listen) but glad it will make me !!!!

[belacmsage]

Congrats gozal! Hope you get a high HSG result Monday.

[remark71]

Gozal- Congratulations and a happy and healthy 9 months. 

Sorry for everyone that AF found. 

AFM: I am not sure rather I have ovulated yet since the D&C or not.  I didn't start doing the OPKs until Friday which was dark but not as dark as the control line and this mornings was very light.  I am not sure if it is still residule from being pregnant or not.  We DTD a few times last week so if I have already O'd we might be covered.  Today my DS kept putting his head on my belly and the cat laid on my belly this morning while I was sitting on the couch.  It has been a while since they did that.  Just hanging out.  When I saw the OB on Friday for follow-up he asked if I wanted BC for the next couple of months and I told him that I was not going to try but not going to prevent either.  He seemed okay with that but did warn me that the "studies" say I have a slight increased chance of miscarriage again but he has had several patients conceive right afterwards and have a healthy baby.  Only time will tell. 

Good luck to everyone and hope to see many more BFP's

[SilaMarila]

UPDATED TO HERE 

Gozal - YAYYYYY!!!! Congratulations!!! Feel better too! Just give me the word when I can move you 

Dandy - nope, I'm not temping anymore - at least for a while. Read back a ways for explanation. Pretty much I'm just hanging out the rest of this "cycle" until tues or thurs when my acupuncturist will most likely trigger AF so she can move on with my treatment and put an end to my mega long infinity cycles! My last temp was 2 days ago and my temps were just staying flat...just sticky CM and nothing exciting going on over here. But I swear my boobs are hurting? I periodically press on them just to check...nice swim in the ocean this morning so maybe my nipples were just working overtime bc it was COLD!

Tanty - I don't think you have O'd yet either. Just because of your CM not matching up. I wouldn't be surprised if you have a delayed O just because of the stress your body went through for your test. Stay on the lookout for EW!

Remark - what your Dr. said seems strange to me because I have heard that after a miscarriage you are actually more fertile for a few cycles. I know a few women that have gotten pg right after a miscarriage and have had a healthy baby. I don't know the statistics of having another miscarriage though...best of luck!!!
