I'm doing ok today...

I told DH I was willing to give him until I started getting faint lines on the OPKs (which is usually around 3 days before O).

Hi Gemmine, I just came back because I realized I forgot to ask how you're doing! And you too, Stevi! I'm thinking of your both.

I did have some cramping last night, but very mild. It's gone today. Um, never thought I'd want cramping, but I am so ready to move on! I used to have terrible cramps when I was a teenager, which started getting better in my 20s and seem to have gone away since DS. So it could be that what I consider mild is actually real cramping for me now, I'm not sure.

Sila, I think you are 5dpo based on cm signs and your last two temps. Crossing my fingers that you are! Thanks for the continued kind words. They mean so much!

[jlmschirm]

@Viv Dont give up! It is so early...fingers crossed for you!
@Sila I vote for cd 45, which would make you 5dpo like me! Fingers crossed for you too!

Welcome to all the new folks!

AFM: I had a horrible dream last night where dh was trying to kill me by repeatedly stabbing me with needles. Then this am we got in a huge argument over what time the coffee needs to be made. Stupidest thing ever...I left the house in tears and 4 hours later I still can't stop crying - everything is setting me off. This is totally not like me, even PMS me - so "hoping" it's pg related otherwise I'm just crazy :-)

[Stevi]

Gozal...   I'm only about 5dpo, so there's nothing going on around here. I'm keeping very busy with school and am dissappointed with myself for a low test score I just earned.

They checked my blood every other day during my second miscarriage. watching in case it was an ectopic. I knew it wasn't, I was using natural progesterone cream at the time and using it delayed the final miscarriage for a good while. As soon as I stopped using it, I miscarried completely. (I think I was hoping they were wrong and the embryo would just suddenly begin to grow again...) Anyway, checking the levels for change seems to be a common practice when they want to rule out ectopic pregnancy.

Another possible help for bringing on the completion sooner might be to use progesterone cream for a couple-few days, and then stop. The stopping may do what it did for me.

Think Fertile Thoughts!

Well, I started my period last Tuesday and it only lasted 3 days not counting the little bits of spotting the previous two days...so seems like the length of my periods is normalizing again...but not the amount of time between periods...the last two months I've gone 21 days and 25 days, when before my miscarriage I pretty much had them every 27-28 days like clockwork.

I finally decided to start charting at least this cycle...so I've taken my temp the past two days...and have a chart on myfertilitycharts.com...but I haven't started notating other signs of fertility yet...though I did start reading through the Fertility Friend lessons in my email inbox this morning and will pull out my TCOYF book here in a couple days to read up on it as well.

I did tell DH that I was okay with not getting pregnant for a few months and working on getting in better shape and better health for the next baby. I actually have taken my multivitamin, extra vitamin D, chlorophyll, and fish oil capsules the past two days...when I've been SO lax in taking them lately (and I was SO good about taking vitamins for months before I got pregnant with Bug). I've started trying to get in at least 30 minutes of hooping every day again as well. So for now, I will be charting and will be aware of my fertile cycles...but we'll be more in a "not-not trying" stage vs. a "trying in every way possible stage". One good thing though is that DH seems to be all over me lately...so hoping it happens soon even without trying hard...since I'd rather not be huge in the middle of the summer again (I'm sure that had at least something to do with my high blood pressure and eclamptic seizure).

Oh yeah, and SIL is NOT pregnant this cycle either. I know it sounds kinda mean, but I'm relieved that I don't have to be jealous of her being pregnant with her seventh before I even get my second!!

[vivica2]

texan- im glad you are finding a balance between taking care of yourself now and planning for the future.  it hope that balance is all you need to concieve!  

stevi- sorry about the bum test..im sure it was the moon or something. 

jlm- gah! fights over stupid things are the worst....most of the time if it happens in our house we just pretend it never happend the next day...seems to work here. ;)  hope it resolves quickly, and that the hormones going crazy is a good sign!

sourire- and a little bit of this for the next few days. 

afm- just placed my refill for clomid, 100mg for next cycle, hope i dont need it till next june. ;)  im hoping that the ol' "buy a bunch of tampons and youll get pregnant" works both ways. ;)

-viv-

[vivica2]

oh yeah, youll al think im crazy but here is my plan of attack: i took an opk (iv got like 5 waiting to be used) today for a "CONTROL" test. ill take one ever day and if they get darker than ill use a hpt. oks are way cheaper....and i just have to pee on SOMETHING! lol

-crazylady-

[Stevi]

Vivica2...   Awww, it's okay. It is curious though.... A faint positive so early, and then nothing? Odd indeed.

[SilaMarila]

Texan - It sounds like you have a great plan this time around! I hope not trying *trying* works for you!

Jlms - I was also thinking that the moodyness is a good sign  and yay possible cycle buddy!

Sourire- Definitely don't want to be "wasting" any precious babies hehe. Best of luck on your upcoming BD bonanza!

Viv - I mean crazylady  JK. Crud, I always thought it was "Don't buy tampons because you won't need them because you are going to be pregnant!" Stay busy these next few days!

AFM - (again) My acupuncturist seems to there is no way I could have conceived this cycle based on when we BD'd. But I have read enough posts here that I definitely believe otherwise! DH lovingly assured me in his confidence of his swimmers. No matter what I have complete faith that when this baby joins our family the timing will be perfect! Whether that is now or a long time from now. Also, I have a Upper GI and esophogram tomorrow and I'm trying not to worry about a potential clump of dividing cells and the radiation  But I would rather have the tests than possibly an ulcer that would require surgery...

[sleepingbeauty]

Good morning everyone!  how are you all doing?  Jsut checking in before my boyfriend, best friend and I go to Florida today.   I hope you all graduate by the time i check back in with you and I come home to an empty thread. lol


 

[Stevi]

SleepingBeauty...   Nice to hear from you!!! I hope all is going great.

[cygknit]

This just cracked me up!

I only have a sec, the older boy in my avi pic is turning 4 today! (That pic was 18 mo. ago) Cake is in the oven and I'm about to go get his bike out of Grandma's garage. I look at that sweet boy and think how he made me a mama, then wonder why two kids isn't enough for me. Why am I torturing myself for a third when I have two fantastic ones already? Then I think of that missing spot I feel, that hole that's still in the family. TTC blows.

Can I be moved to WAITING TO O? AF found me today. At least it's a good day, if there had to be one.
 

[jlmschirm]

Could you change my linked chart to this one please: <a href="http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/25e38f/">My Ovulation Chart</a> I like myfertiltycharts better, but the dumb link never works :-(

Thanks! 

[vivica2]

jlm- omg! i can see your chart now! haha, looks good, fingers crossed. :)

Well yesterday I had an appointment with my acupuncturist, and she thought it would be really unlikely for me to get pregnant this cycle because of everything my body has been through (especially my 5 days of really heavy spotting), so I wasn't even thinking of testing yet. I wanted to know before father's day so I could make an appropriate card, so I really was going to wait until Saturday. Well, today I had a headache, and I was running some errands right next to the dollar store. I decided to pop in there for a Dr. Pepper because caffeine usually helps. And while I was in there I decided to get some tests for the weekend. I have no self control. As soon as I got home I took one, and it's really really faint, but I think it's positive. What do you all think?

It's hard to believe that after waiting 5 years this might be really happening!

[vivica2]

I see it, congrats!!!!!!

[ValH]

Just wanted to thread crash to say congrats to Dandy Lion - I totally see that BFP!!! 

Vivica - I love your OPK plan, doesn't seem crazy to me at all (though I did my fair share of craziness when TTC, so who am I to judge).  Hope those OPKs get much darker very quickly.  ;)

[OdinsMommy0409]

Dandy Lion - Looks like a BFP to me!!! Lots of to you!!!
