[TenzinsMama]

tantylynn, that is such fantastic news-- congrats!  Looked at your pic-- that's a nice solid line, for sure!!!!!

sorry fins and viv, I hope your bfps come next month for sure...

babydust to all!!!!

[remark71]

Tantylynn:  Congratulations on the BFP.  hope you have a happy and healthy 9 months

Vivica and Finsmom:  Sorry AF found you. Hopefully this cycle will be yours.

Gemine:  My husband had tried to cook left overs that were in a crockpot on the stove and the bottom exploded a couple of months ago.  He was lucky that DS was not around the stove when it happened.  I am glad that you are okay and that none of the glass went into the dinner. 

AFM:  nothing really to report here, I think I may have ovulated yesterday even though I didn't get any positive OPK's.  The closest one I had was Saturday night but the test line was not as dark as the control line.  I did have some ovary pain yesterday and my temp dropped this morning.  Guess, I will just have to wait a few more days and see what happens with my temps. 

Good Luck to everyone.

[tantylynn]

Thank you so much everyone. Your words mean so much to me   I'll most definitely be lurking and cheering you on! I don't know if I'm ready to leave yet, I'll miss you all so much and this still just does not feel real.

July is on fire, I'm sure there will be more BFPs soon! And NO ONE doubt the chart whispering abilities of Gemmine  seriously amazing!

[finsmom]

How do I add my chart? Do I just sign in and copy and paste the link? 

[finsmom]

Also thanks for the support, ladies. 

[SilaMarila]

Tantylynn - I have been thinking all day of how you endured your TTC journey with such patience and perseverance. How much research you seem to have put in to figuring out your diagnosis and how proactive your were in getting answers and getting the help you needed. And how ultimately it has brought you the desires of your heart. I do hope from the bottom of my heart that this is it for you and your DH. We all have so much to learn from you and your experience and thank you so much for sharing it with us! You will be missed!!! 

[BubbleMa]

Congrats Tantylynn!!!  :D

 

[WildDoula]

Congrats tantylynn!  H&H 9 months to you!

[Mom2IrishBoys]

Morning Ladies! July is just a HOT month for baby makin huh? Congrats to you all!

AFM: I am at 13dpo and am wondering WTF is goin on with my chart. I had 2 temp drops Sun and Mon (but haad interupted sleep those nights) and it started rising again this morning. Im expecting AF soley based on the fact that I have not gotten a BFP yet. I THOUGHT I had an IP on 8dpo, but wit the other big dip on 12dpo, is it possible that I had a REALLY late IP on 12dpo? I thought I read that IP is 6-10dpo. Any ideas on what my chart is doing?

[justKate]

Mom2IB, without knowing what your avg LP is, it's hard to say. I'd say 12DPO would be on the late side for an implantation dip, but you can't ever really tell.  I get dips in my LP every cycle, so sometimes it means something and sometimes it doesn't.  I'm sorry that's not a better answer...  On the bright side, you're not out until the witch actually shows, so stay strong. 

finsmom, to link your chart, open your chart on FF and click "sharing" in the upper right hand corner.  Then click "view" and your homepage will open (it will look like a different version of your chart).  Copy the web address from the navigation bar at the top of that page and paste it here, and I'll do the rest!  It should look like this: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/________  (with your own numbers in the blank).  HTH.

AFM, nothing much to report at 4DPO.  I've had some sort of pinchy pain near my c-section scar this morning (but on the inside, hard to explain), but I think it's just in my head. Taking DD to the beach today and then to Target.  Hopefully that will keep me distracted.

[SilaMarila]

BFN this morning at supposedly 10dpo. I'm sure the blood test will say the same. I kind of felt stupid after getting it yesterday because pregnancy just isn't making sense with all of the spotting I have had this cycle. Plus the fact I think I have to pay for it out of pocket for some reason. I guess I just wanted to be sure before my procedure today after what happened last month. DH didn't wouldn't DTD last night because he's worried about the spotting and said we need to let my body rest  If I did in fact ovulate I'm expecting AF to arrive by Sunday. I'm trying to figure out a "plan" for next cycle and I can't quite come up with one... acupuncture for sure, she may put me on some herbs, I think I might call my gyno for a referral for an OB (she no longer does OB and I don't have an OB) and maybe make an appt. I am wondering if my progesterone is messed up after the miscarriage. Low temps, temps close to the cover line, spotting during my lp... aren't these sometimes an indicator of progesterone levels?

My endoscopy/biopsy isn't until this afternoon and I can't eat all day. So I'll be trying not to go into bitch mode...

[Mom2IrishBoys]

big fat glob of pinkish brown EWCM yuck! sorry TMI

[TenzinsMama]

Sila, your words to tantylnn were so beautiful!  Of course, I echo everything you said... Hey, good luck with your procedure this afternoon.  Will be thinking of you.

[jsnmom]

 vivica and finsmom

mom2irishboys: I personally don't belive dips during LP have anything to do with implantation, but are from normal hormonal fluctuations. The spotting could be from a late implantation (I see you haven't had any today so far). Remember, you're not out until AF shows. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Sila: It could be that your body is taking a break by having an anovulatory cycle. I hope everything goes well with your procedure today.

AFM: I'm on CD 26 and waiting on the internet cheapies to arrive in the mail (and I will most likely not wait until tomorrow morning to POAS).

well I just had one of the worst nights of my life. I think it might be because of my new pillow. My chiropractor recommended I use a special pillow made of polyurethane foam. I bought the pillow from the chiropractor yesterday and started sleeping on it last night.

The pillow was very comfortable, but as I was drifting off to sleep I started having really messed up dreams that scared me and my head started feeling strange and fuzzy. This caused me to wake up and every time I started falling asleep again I felt worse and worse until I started having a full blown panic attack and crying hysterically and I was too scared to sleep anymore and I tried to stay awake using every means possible. I even managed to convince myself since I am right around ovulation time that my body was trying to fight off being pregnant and this made me even more hysterical. This lasted for a few hours. I never thought it might be related to the pillow but eventually I switched pillows just to have something more comforting and familiar and propped the new pillow up right by my head.

I ended up falling asleep even though I was very afraid... but when I woke up at 7 in the morning to get ready for work, my head just felt like it was going to explode (I thought it was the lack of sleep that caused that) so I called in sick for the morning and went back to sleep. At first I tried the new pillow again but I switched after a few minutes because I started feeling panicky again. I woke up again at 10:30 and realised I wouldn't be able to go to work at all today because I still felt really messed up. I've spent most of the time since then staring vacantly into space and wanting to curl into a ball and hide somewhere. Eventually I started wondering if the pillow could have cause my night from hell so I went on google. One article I found said that the chemicals that outgas from polyurethane foam could cause "Nightmare, migraines, insomnia, panic attack, anxiety, lethargy, irritability, memory loss and depression"... wow!!!! Then I called my chiropractor to tell them what happened. My DH was vaccuuming and it was very noisy so I went in the bedroom and closed the door to make the phone call... the pillow was still in there. By the end of the phone call I had started crying hysterically and hyperventilating so I had to go sit outside for a while until it stopped. I don't know if it was because I was in the room with the pillow and had the door closed or just cause I was talking about my experience.

Anyways now I don't know which temp to use! I was expecting to have my temp jump today or tomorrow. I took one at 7am after a very short and horrible night of sleep, and it was around the same as yesterday's temp. I took it again at 10:30 after another 3 hours of sleep, and it was WELL into LP temp range. So now I have no idea which one is correct.

[MeredithA]

Mom2IB ~ You're not out yet!! Hoping you get your BFP!

Sila ~ Hope your procedure goes well - I'll be thinking of you.

Sourire ~ Wow, it sounds like you need to get rid of that pillow ASAP! I'm so sorry to hear about your terrible night! I think its good that you took the day off. You need the time to relax and unwind. I don't know what to tell you about your temp since I don't record bbt, I just make notes on cm, but I do know that that kind of stress can delay O so try and take a deep breath, and maybe shop for a new pillow 

[Stevi]

Sourire...   Wow! The chiropracter had better take the pillow back! Sheesh! I have slept on foam mats before and the chemical odor was very obvious. Put the pillow in a plastic bag, seal it up tight, and I guess just skip today's temp?

[Gemmine]

OMG Sourire. I'm glad you took off too. Definitely get rid of that pillow, we don't need anything blocking your fantastic timing this cycle!
