By popular demand, here's what I got yesterday afternoon 12 dpo NOT fmu

I'm housesitting at my mom's and don't have a camera with so I had to scan it (so if it looks weirs that's why). The only reason I even tested yesterday is because one of my best friends called me yesterday and said that she was pregnant and that she was counting on me to be pregnant with her. She's about 12 days ahead of me. The really bizarre part is about 2+ years ago I told her we should be pregnant together and she looked at me like I was a total nutcase because she was so far away from wanting kids. Maybe I was pulling in enough baby vibes for both of us ;)  Thank you for your well wishes!!!!! I am so pumped!!

Belia, I'm sorry for your loss. Sending you lots of hugs and healing vibes right now. Our pets aren't 'just' animals. They are our friends, our confidants and companions. It's hard enough when they get old and die but so much harder when they are unexpectedly snatched from us. Take the time you need to mourn and take good care of yourself.

KnittenKitten, Congrats!  That's so cool that you and your friend are pregnant at exactly the same time. Happy and healthy 9 months to you!

[Stevi]

Looks like I might be ovulating today, and I haven't had any sperm in the last two days! Yikes!

Help! Is CD 10 @ 11:30pm positive? 

CD 11 test (at 11:30am) is way lighter and as you can see they were getting darker all day yesterday.

I am feeling really positive about this cycle. I had great EWCM yesterday and today my cervix was obviously super high and squishy soft. There is no ambiguity like last cycle. If I was a little more POAS obsessed, I would have POAOPK in the middle of the night and I bet it would have been the darkest... but I'm not that crazy. LOL I feel O is here today. B6 and EPO have been a total success for me so far. Come oooonnn temp jump tomorrow!

ETA - I just got a VERY positive at about 2:30 pm today. No mistaking that one!

 Congrats KnittenKitten! May this be a sticky bean for you!

Brichole 

Not very many of you left here that I "know". But Hi 

Back to  ...

[Stevi]

Hi SilaMaria!

AAM...   Lookee what I got today...

Oh, and I got some sperm too. LOL

Think Fertile Thoughts!!

[KnittinKitten]

Sila: Hi! Thank you so much. I hope you are doing well.

Stevi: Love it!!

[krunchyk]

Brichole & Belia – My thoughts are with you!

Congrats KK! I hope you have a restful and peaceful pregnancy.  Best wishes. 

Good luck Gator-mom and Stevi! I’ve also picked up my pineapple and gnawed on my first pineapple core.  A little tough, a little fibrous, but altogether not so bad. 

Myllisa – The ttc cycle can be so brutal. It is so hard to manage expectations cycle to cycle.  This aspect of the process really caught me by surprise! 

Gozal – The radiologist that performed my HSG doesn’t do the catheterization.  The IR that does perform the procedure doesn’t work very often.  Lining up his work schedule with my CD 8-10 has proven elusive.  Three cycles elusive, so far.  I should have been an IR.  The work schedule rocks.

MF – Thanks for posting your OPK tests.  It is so interesting to see other’s progression through their cycle.  I gave up on OPK’s because I never saw a clear dark line.  In addition, OPK’s don’t always work with PCOS.  In hindsight, I think that I was expecting to see a line quality that doesn’t even exist.  One thing that really appeals to me about the ttc process is the information and the data collection, which is probably why I love charting so much.  My body serves as my own personal science kit.  Which, by the way, I always wanted as a child but never received because it was a boy’s toy.  Here’s to gender neutral toys.

AFM – Please move me to Waiting to Know.  My temp spiked today, right on schedule.  I’ve been envisioning that little gal worming her way down the tube and meeting the little guys for a bit of a dance.  Go Team!

I'm so very sorry, Belia.

Can I jump in? I'm in the 2ww phase right now. I know a couple of you from the ONE thread in the infertility forum, but I'd love to join up here too.

[toothfairy2be]

Hi Sila & shesaidboom (welcome!)

Belia- I am so so sorry to hear about your little puppy girl- I can't even imagine that pain, I am thinking of you and your family while you go through this.

Congrats KK! Have a very blessed 9 months!

Stevi- <3 the pineapple & sperm- hoping for a great combination! I loved Las Vegas by the way, we did find (and buy) the onesie, and since I did not make a Vegas baby, I will mail it to you when you post your BFP!

AFM- I clearly have been MIA for a while, to be honest, I'm not sure most of you were here when I last posted- before my vacation, 3... or was it 4... weeks ago. I'm on my 2nd cycle of Clomid after there was (obviously) no Vegas baby... I did pineapple core last cycle but due to not having a progesterone supplement, my spotting started at 3 DPO and no BFP appeared. I am doing IUI this week, with progesterone support and I will do pineapple core again since I don't think I can fairly say it didn't work until I try it on a viable cycle. So... that's where I'm at, I'll come out of hibernation now.

[Stevi]

cbaa2010...   Hahahaha! I love your optimism for my chances!! (And I'm sorry you didn't get your Vegas Baby.)

[KnittinKitten]

Hey all,

So today I took another test expecting it to be darker but it is clearly lighter. Any thoughts? It was an older test but by no means expired.

Ok, so I looked at the 2 tests again and what I realized is that the first test (12 dpo) had purple dye and the second (14 dpo) had pink dye. Also I think that the on the first one the dye has become more intense than it was when I first took it. I guess I will wait and see. I searched on the forums and it looks like it's usually not indicative of anything unless they keep getting lighter.

Gozal I have no idea what a serial beta is. I have really high deductible insurance so I basically have to pay out of pocket for everything.

Belia, I'm so very sorry. I lost my dog four years ago. I keep her things in a box under my bed and still can't think of her without getting tears in my eyes.

TTCorC, your little guy is amazing!!! Welcome back! We missed you around here, you know. (Though I'm very glad you were gone for a long and happy nine months...)

KnittinKitten, congrats! I'm sorry that I don't know the answer to your question. How many dpo are you? Can you get a serial beta?

[Thebyr]

hello Everyone!

I'm sending you greetings from the beautiful country of South Africa!

Belia - I'm so so sorry about your furbaby. Dogs are often our first babies.

Brichole -

KK - congrats! keep us posted

MamaF - looks great! hope you're doing a lot of BD'ing these days.

AFM - I'm totally confused by this time change and then I read that flying can delay (or rush) your ovulation. So.... I'm CD 12 or 13 (12 in the states, 13 in SA) - so we started BD'ing CD9 (9 in the states 10 in SA).. kinda did it every day because I could really O any day between now and the 21st. Although - I'm pretty sure I O between day 15 and 17 normally. Anyway - we're BD'ing pretty much each day. And I didn't want to bother charting abroad so.. here's to hoping.

Sending everyone a little extra

[Stevi]

Does anyone know if starting on the pineapple core early is okay? I think I ovulated yesterday, but am not 100% sure...
