Welcome to the "giving thanks for BFPs ONE Thread"! 

I'm so behind. I've moved everyone who asked. There are a LOT of us in the 2WW right now! Here's to a dozen or so BFPs in the next week! 

A2E - So sorry to hear about your grandpa.  Glad to see you're back for a little while. 

Belia - So happy to hear you're feeling a bit better. Such a roller-coaster week for you. 

deborahbgkelly - WOOHOO!!! Congrats! 

anyalily - I get that round ligament pain several days after O. I was hoping it was a pg symptom last cycle - but it wasn't.  I have had it on and off for the past two days as well. 

brichole - that looks like a temp shift to me! I wonder why FF didn't give you crosshairs today?

knittenkitten - I am going to have to check out those videos. I heart Ina so much.

FF - I'm not sure if the IUD removal can make you O early - but maybe! Keep DTD just in case! It isn't impossible to O this early, especially if your cycles have been interrupted and are just getting back to normal.

Fnord - triphasic charts usually have another temp shift starting at about 7-10DPO. I think it has to be 3-4 temps for it to show triphasic.  What an awful yet interesting dream!

AFM, I'm feeling positive about this cycle. I know with 100% certainty that I did everything *I* could possibly do to get pregnant this cycle. The rest is in the universe's hands. I like to think positive and visualize everything - so I'm window shopping online for "Big Sister" t-shirts for my girls. I can't wait to tell them they will have a new brother or sister. I really hope it happens this cycle. It would make the holidays extra special.

 

 

[brichole1214]

MamanFrancaise: Thank you for the new thread!! :)  and I  have NO idea why FF didn't give me my crosses.  I played with it for tomorrow and if my temp goes back up it says that i would be 3dpo tomorrow and not today!!! I am soooo confused.  I understand that I "O" earlier than usual this month but i thought for sure i had looked at my chart right and when i put in the temp this morning it was like ...hmmmm....I don't know what to think.  I feel comfortable enough though to be moved to "waiting to know"  now on to the 2ww...sooooo not looking forward to it!!!

AFM:  With the holidays and DH's birthday and both DD's birthday coming up I feel stressed to the max!! On top of the holidays we are also worrying about me having a job at the beginning of the year or not.  I just don't know what to do.  I don't want to worry too much because they are supposed to let us know right after Thanksgiving if we are going to be offered our jobs or not.  I hate the wait!! This contract working really sucks and i'm kinda ready for a change...but if they do keep us i don't need to quit because IF i don't get pregnant by the 1st or 2nd week of January I have surgery planned for February 20th...and I have been planning on this since this past summer...so the only reason i want to have to cancel the surgery is if i'm pregnant...but with the way things have been going for me lately...I will more than likely be having the surgery done (as long as i still have my job and insurance).  BLAH, i  HATE when it's cold and rainy...my mood is ALWAYS effected by it...so i'm going to go have a pitty party real quick and come back and see how everyone else's charts look. 

[JelloPanda]

So my cycle is being completely stupid, and I'm actually still waiting to O.  My body's threatened ovulation a few times, but... so far, nothing :/   It's weird!
My temps are crazy and all over the place, and it's starting to stress me out

[toothfairy2be]

Thanks for the new thread MamanF! I hope this cycle is it for you too! Only a few more days, when are you testing?

A2E- Welcome back to another 2ww, I hope this is the last one you find yourself in! So sorry to hear about your grandpa- such a hard time of year to lose loved ones.

Jello- hopefully O will come when you've got plenty of swimmers waiting.

Brichole- definitely a lot on your plate right now!

Fnord- chart looks good, I hope it keeps going up- and also, like others said, 3 days higher is 'triphasic' but there are pretty much 50/50 charts that are pregnant/not pregnant with triphasic charts--- lets just hope any chart brings a BFP.

FeralFox- I don't know that IUD removal would affect O date, but hopefully your little egg was just ready early.

AFM: 4 DPO, only 10 days left.

[deborahbgkelly]

Can you put me on the November BFPs list, please?

[IzzsMom]

Hi my name is Laura and I"m currently 4 DPO and TTC #2 after a MC in April.

[ArtificialRed]

Okay, I need quick opinions. Opportunity to relax (relax? what is that?!) in a hot tub tonight. Worth the risk?? What do you think? I have no sign of ewcm yet, but it should be sometime this week.

Hmm... it is probably too late by now since you posted a while ago... I really don't know about the effect on your ovaries... I know it is a no no for men. Sorry I'm no help!

[Gator-mom]

Thanks for the new thread MamanF!!

brichole:  Sorry you had a bum day.  I can get like that with the whole job up in the air thing too.  I'm in this weird window where if I got pg now, I could wait to look for a job until after baby was here and take the summer off, but if it's a month or more after this, then I have to worry about possibly trying to find a job pg..and I go round and round.  I try to just say "Eff" it and just try until it happens and let the pieces fall where they may.

Welcome IzzsMom!  Sorry for your loss (I read your post on TTC #2) that must have been awful having such a late m/c.  I hope your stay with us here is short and sweet :).

AFM:  Boobs are super sore today, but that is not unusual for me during the 2WW.  Though they usually aren't quite this sore until right before I get AF.  So not sure if that is significant, or of FF was off on my O date (which has been so confusing all mo), but yea.  Nothing else to report :)

[Thebyr]

well - look what we brought back from SA!

I'm only 6dpo right now. I'm so happy.. and nervous. lol

Thanks for all the support these last few months. I'm going to try and relax and pray this baby STICKS!

MamaF - thanks for the new thread. Fingers crossed that you get your BFP this cycle.

Congrats Deborah!

Fingers crossed for you Gator.

Hi Laura! Welcome. This is a NICE place to hang out when you're TTC. So sorry about your MC. *hugs*

This is my first day back to work and all I can think about is my little bean. This is gonna be a LONG few weeks.

[Gator-mom]

Woohoo Thebyr!!  I can see it!  Congrats!!!

AFM:  Had a really vivid dream that my period started with cramps and everything and I woke up in a panic to plug in my temp (had taken it earlier and fell back asleep) and for any spotting and look at my temp jump! http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/3076f9

[Thebyr]

thanks Gator!

I suck at charting and reading charts - but I surely see that your temps are rising. That spike looks AWESOME!

[brichole1214]

Gator-Mom:  I would have to agree that you need to just say "eff" it and keep trying.  If it happens it happens and you can cross that bridge when you get there :)  I really am hoping that you don't have to worry and you get your BFP this month though :)

Cbaa:  Yes yes, too much on my plate...i want someone to take the plate away from me and just bring me dessert right about now lol.

Izzsmom:  Welcome!! I hope that the rest of your 2WW isn't too stressful since you are 5DPO now :)  Hope this is the only time you have to stop in here and that you can get your BFP this cycle!!!

AFM:  FF is DRIVING ME CRAZY!   LOL i've been playing with my temps and if it goes up just .1 of a degree tomorrow i will get my cross hairs and i will be 4dpo tomorrow!! It is TOTALLY driving me crazy! I'm ready to get this cycle done with...either get a BFP of move on to the last month that I have to TTC before my breast reduction surgery!!!  COME ON BFP!! LOL  (disclaimer yes, i will cancel my surgery if i get pregnant)

[brichole1214]

Thebyr:  We cross post CONGRATS!!!! I hope that it keeps getting darker and STICK BABY STICK!!! What a wonderful gift to bring back with you!!!

Gator-mom:   That temp jump this morning looks AWESOME!!! I have my fingers and toes crossed for you!!!

[Thebyr]

Thank you Brichole.. I really need those sticky vibes! I'm really hoping you get your BFP too. *fingers crossed*

[FeralFox]

Thebyr - Congratulations!  I'm so happy for you!! 

Brichole - My ex was a consultant, so I've been through contract renewal hell more than once.  I know exactly how you're feeling right now.  Sending happy working energy your way.

Gator - That's quite a jump!  You have more self restraint than me, I'd be all over the sticks by now!

AFM, my temps are all over, my other signs don't match up, and I have no idea what's going on.  I'm frustrated.  I wish my temps would just settle into a decent pattern already.  It looks like I'm going to be stuck in not trying not avoiding limbo by default, because there's no way I can make heads or tails out of this nonsense.  I guess we'll just keep dtd and let nature take whatever course it wants to.  I think a big part of my problem is Badger, actually.  He's been waking us up a lot at night, so I'm up and down and up and down, which is probably messing up my temps.  This morning he woke me at 7:30 knocking at the door.  I flew out of bed, grabbed him and brought him to my bed, then temped.  It was a bit higher than yesterdays.  Then I settled him in front of the TV with a movie (don't judge me ), slept another two hours and temped again.  This time it was yet another degree higher.  I was probably more deeply asleep before the second temp, but for a shorter time.  Which one should I use?

[Thebyr]

Thanks FF - I'm sure your vibes helped! Fingers crossed for you and your temps. Have you been checking your mucous too?

[brichole1214]

byr and FF: Thank you ladies so much : )    I'm so ready for the end of this month!!! It will bring more knowledge on if i Oed or not and if i still will have a job or not.  I'm really ready to get on with everything!!!!   I'm really hopeful for everyone this week too!! 

MamanFrancaise:  please move me to "waiting to know"  I know by my temps that i've Oed...just waiting very impatiently for FF to finally catch on to the idea!!!!

[MamanFrancaise]

brichole - What a stressful few months ahead! My stress relief: Hot LUSH bubble bath with some delicious Red Wine. That, and remembering that everything happens for a reason. FF drives me crazy on a regular basis, too. Those months where my temps aren't clear and FF is confused makes me want it over with, too. It's pathetic when my temp in the morning dictates my mood for the rest of the day.

JelloPanda - Everyone seems to be frustrated with O this week! I'll move you back.

cbaa - I'll do an early test on Wednesday at 10 DPO. My LP isn't usually longer than that anyway.

deborahbgkelly- I'll move you over to graduates!!!

IzzsMom - welcome! Do you have a chart to share?

ArtificialRed - I'm a little late responding to this but I went in a hot tub during EWCM time. A few hours after the hottub, I still had EWCM.

TheByr - YAYAYAYAYAY!!! 6DPO BFP?!?! You are a statistic now.  CONGRATULATIONS!

Gator-mom - that is an AWESOME temp jump! FX!!!

FF - I would use the first temp.

AFM, I want to cry. My temp plummeted today (same as last cycle at 8 DPO). I hated my thermometer this morning. Please oh please let this be an implantation dip and not the beginning of the plunge of death.

I'm going to the mall for retail therapy after work.
