[KnittinKitten]

[DandJsMommy9]

Congrats! Nothing like conceiving on the first try! Good luck :)

AFM- Nothing yet I'm on CD 62 the latest cycle Ive had since getting the depo shot back in April 2010. The longest used to be 56 days. I have no thoughts either way. I definitely do feel like I'm pregnant I have alot of symptoms but I also feel like AF is right around the corner so I'm not sure. I have decided to wait till next Friday to test because I might have Oed late. I don't know where I'm getting the patience from but I'm not complaining haha

[janellody]

Thank you so very much everyone!  I guess it's time for me to move over to the other forum, I will miss everyone over here and hope everyone has a reproductive September!!!  Baby dust to all and see you on the other side SOON!!!

DandJsMommy9- Wow, I'm impressed with the patience. I have always tested super early in the past, and this go around, I feel like I would prefer to wait to test until my body is really giving me accurate symptoms...you know? Sort of delay the dread of wondering if it'll stick by testing later... BUT, lol...I'm not sure I'll have the patience to wait until week 6 or whatever for ms to kick in ;-)

I have no clue where I have been getting the patience haha. I think its because Im scared to get either answer. Im scared of it being negative and Im scared of it being positive due to my last loss. Friday is getting closer! haha I think Im getting impatient now but because DD and DS birthdays are in 2 weeks (September 14th and 15th) Im broke! Lol. So I guess that will help me wait the week out. Im still not 100% convinced that Im pregnant but its looking pretty good.

Has anyone ever heard of getting AF cramps after sex as a sign? DH and I DTD a few days ago and right after I had cramps and thought that I had maybe induced AF but still a no show. A friend of mine said thats a sign of pregnancy but I dont think Ive ever heard of it before.

That happened to me after my BFP. I seriously freaked out for a bit, even though I knew sex couldn't induce a miscarriage. I'm 23 DPO now and still get light AF-like cramps here and there.

Wow, last pregnancy, it was the AF-like cramps directly after sex that had me wondering if I should test. They lasted for another week or two after I tested and then went away. It was sort of weird because they got consistently stronger over those two weeks or so...

[DandJsMommy9]

Bad news AF arrived today :( but the good news is I bought a basal thermometer yesterday so I start charting tomorrow :) Its gonna be good to know where I am in my cycle so Im not always guessing and stressing over it.

[JelloPanda]

Got my BFP today, after a short stay in this group. Good luck ladies <3

[KnittinKitten]

Congrats Jello Panda! Yay!!!!!

Someone needs to start a September thread. I would, but I do everything from my phone which basically makes it impossible for me to be a thread keeper for this group. Any volunteers?

Hi ladies! I am signing off TTC'ing for the next few months for a forced break. After 2 visits to the ER for pain and bleeding  they found a 13 centimeters by 11 centimeters by 4 centimeters cyst on or near my right ovary. I am beyond frustrated because I just had surgery in May to remove a cyst from my left ovary. I am super happy for all of you that got your BFP! Good luck to everyone else! I'm rooting for you :-)

[lillylady05]

An update for me surgical nurse called. My surgery is scheduled for next Thursday at noon. Today is cycle day three. I went to see my OB/GYN yesterday and asked her to get a better answer about TTCing and thank goodness she said that if everything goes well we could try again next month if my incision is healed enough. There is still a chance the issue could be my appendix and I may need a more dramatic surgery but my hopes are that it is just a fluid filled cyst. I may not be out for months though. Even though I am in pain I am still having hope about having a summer baby next year! Side note: my hubby is amazing! He has been so helpful with household duties since I hurt so much. He is keeping up with our 6 year old and our 3 dogs. I have simple meals planned out for him like having chicken in gallon zip lock bags marinading ready to go in the oven with directions on the fridge for him. He simply is amazing and I don't know what I would do without him.

So.... what happened with a september thread?

[lillylady05]

My surgery update: I had extensive adhesions on my left ovary my doctor is thinking it is from my surgery I had 4 months ago. My bowels, ovary and tube were stuck together on the left. She things that was causing the pain. I also had a 10 centimeter cyst going from my left side over to my right side. I had another small cyst on my left ovary that was blood filled. I go back in for post op check next Wednesday. Gas pains are terrible this time around. My little man is being so sweet.He keeps bringing me snacks, drinks, giving cuddles and trying to get daddy to buy me flowers. He was even so worried about me he came in my room to sleep on the floor next to my bed. Talked to my doctor earlier and she thinks we may be doing monitored clomid or femara cycles next. depending on how the SA goes that may be an IUI clomid or femara cycles.  Good luck ladies! Hope to see you ladies again soon!

I started a new thread for Oct. If I messed up on anything and you didn't get added to the list or something is incorrect, just let me know. And I'd love to hear from any of our Sept BFPs, I know they're out there!
