Taking the Scenic Route...to a BFP - Page 53

[MindlessChrissy]

Gtree - Was wondering how you and the twins are. Sucks about being sick but at least you have that symptom. I didn't get any sickness or nausea when I was pg. I was one of the lucky ladies where I had hardly any symptoms. But unlucky as I stressed and worried cause I had no symptoms. Just couldn't win. lol

Ms. D - Great to see you! That's crap about the appointment. I'd call just to be safe that you still are on for this appointment.

Sherry, SKJ, Bebe, Indie, Shelly, GreenMum, anyone I missed. - What's up with you ladies?!

Afm - I am starting the 2ww. I can test as early as October 2nd. UGH!

Hi everyone!! I have a question... So I am 8 days past iui ... and I have continued to do my opk test until the went negative ... but yesterday i did one (I think i just wanted to pee on something LOL) and i got a smiley face ??? I am so confused... why would i get a positive?? I did another one today and it was negative... I was feeling super pregnant yesterday but today not so much :-(  My boobs are still sore but not like yesterday.. no cramping anymore ... just a twinge of pain here and there... Super vivid dreams. I am still bloated and I feel pressure downstairs but hmmmm that makes me wonder why I got a positive?? has that ever happened to ya'll? I am going to google it!!

Shell - you are doing OPKs?  When will you do a pregnancy test?  No idea why you would get a pos opk, maybe the trigger showed up? I have no idea.

Indie, I downloaded the meditation but haven't started yet. Your post about it makes me excited!

Chrissy, sorry to hear about all the family health issues! Hope everyone is on the upswing and you have been able to have a nice weekend, and glad you were able to "sneak in some nookie!" hee hee. Good luck with the 2WW! Fingers (and toes!) crossed for you!

Dolphin, sorry to hear about your RE appt! That would be so frustrating! You'd think they would have been able to get you in quicker like you said . . . hopefully they give you a nice long appt to make up for it! ;) I hope it goes well and can't wait to hear about it.

Gtree, sick is a good thing! I've always heard the sicker you are, the stronger your pregnancy. That is awesome about the frozen embies, too! You go girl - you are an inspiration!

Shell, I haven't ever tested out my Ovidrel until negative, but maybe your urine was more concentrated when you got the positive? Or maybe for a much more exciting reason! :)

AFM, according to FF I'm DPO4, but I don't know. I've had some wonky temps, so I think I may have just goofed. We'll see what my temp looks like tomorrow and if it looks like I O'd. I started some new herbs, and they make me sicker than a dog. Made me think of you and your experience Toothfairy! Ugh, they were the expensive ones too, and I just don't think I'm going to be able to keep doing them (lots of diarrhea and nausea - sorry, TMI!). Excited for our RE appt on 10/10. :)

I'm going for my blood test on Oct 1st... But i plan on testing wednesday or Thursday :-)

[MsDolphin]

Gtree - I just noticed your signature. Congratz!

[SKJ2011]

Gtree - Yay for m/s! I mean, yuck, but yay for having some pregger symptoms!

Shell - Hmm. I know an OPK can be positive when you are pregnant. Did you test b/t your trigger shot and this OPK? If not, I would guess that the OPK was + b/c the trigger was still around and then it went out of your system. Otherwise, I've got no idea. I hope you get a BFP in the next week!

Bebe - I hope FF is right and you did O. Sorry the herbs are not being nice to you! Who knew they could be so powerful? I hope your acupuncturist can get you on a better formula.

Chrissy - Good luck for this tww!

AFM - Nothing much going on. I'm on CD 3. I really feel like I made a breakthrough last week though. I feel this weight lifted off my shoulders and a new found confidence that I will get pregnant, just not on my schedule. My new mantra is "My time will come and it will be perfect." i've been saying that whenever I feel any doubt or I see a pregnant woman

gtree - so happy the twins are making you sick! (you know what i mean!) i know it can't be fun but i'm sure you appreciate the reminder that you are carrying two bambinos!

chrissy - wow, you have had a LOT going on! i'm so hopeful that you will get your sticky bfp this cycle!

shell - i am so hoping the positive opk means that you are preggo and the negative one just means your urine wasn't concentrated enough! please update us!

bebe - ick about the herbs. i don't know if i'd be able to keep that up. i had to give up the wheatgrass because it started making me sick. hope you enjoy the meditation as much as i am!

sherry - mission accomplished?

skj - i love your mantra! going to steal it for myself! so happy to hear that you are on the upswing!

afm - 5dpo. i'm feeling pretty good these days. my goal this cycle is to keep up with my diet (day 8 today!) and to try to keep this happy vibe going even through the end of my cycle. my ivf consult will be on 14dpo so i think that will help minimize disappointment by knowing that i am "doing something". i'm enjoying my facebook fast far more than i thought i would. at first i found myself habitually hitting the app on my phone where the fb app used to be... funny how compulsive i can be. i'm sure i'll start to feel out of the loop eventually but for now i'm enjoying the extra space in my head that is usually filled with knowing too much about other people's lives :)

happy monday!

[SKJ2011]

Indie - I have a really good feeling about things for you right now. Not sure exactly what that means, but I just have this feeling everything is going to work out great for you.

[Shell77]

its my Birthday :-( UGH I am officially 40 today !! .... update so far my temps are really high STILL!!! that is odd for me cause my cycle has only been running 24 days... well today is day 24 and my temp is 98.30 and no pink when I wipe... Boobies sore and nipples tender... I am bloated!! I look pregnant( mild OHSS) and i have a heavy feeling in my abdomen ... hard to explain, Super vivid dreams also... I keep telling myself that its the prometrium ... I am getting excited though ... I really hope I met my goal of being pregnant before 40 !! lol

Indie: I love your attitude!! stay positive!! I am so excited for your ivf consult I want to hear all about it ( as we both are in the same boat , as far as egg reserve goes)

SKJ; I know your time will come!! Great attitude I love alll the positivity going on!!

Bebe: sorry about the Herbs :-(  I am excited about your RE appointment too!!! My temps have been wonky also :-/

Gtree: I hope I am sick when I am pregnant LOL silly Huh?

Chrissy : you and sherry are such busy ladies... I just couldnt do it!! lol I need my downtime everyday and it sounds like you dont have any... well at least that will make the 2 ww go fast :-)

Dolphin: that would be so frusterating.. Sorry they did that too you !!

Sorry For the short personals ... I am at work today lol

[indie1976]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SHELLY!!!!  

enjoy you day and ENJOY being 40! there are many women who have their babies in their 40's and they rock parenting even harder than they did in their 20's (and look good doing it, too!) don't let that number bother you... embrace it and own it! 

sending you lots of love and birthday baby wishes!!!

[Shell77]

Be back later with more personnals!

[MindlessChrissy]

Happy birthday Shell! 

[bebelove]

Shell, happy, happy birthday, to you! 40 is going to bring you luck!!!

[sherryvhkb]

Happy birthday Shell!!! I think i know what you wished for and i hoe it comes true!!! Yay for high temps!!!

Bebe. Blah herbs yay for O!!

Chrissy i hope your busy life leads to a bfp and that things have settled down.

Tf. Are you still gluten free? I need to get back there.

Indie- im just behind you. I need to get back on the diet wagon myself. I fell off after the lap and blew the whole summer. This fall weather makes me want to bake.....ergh!

Skj good attitude! I need to try the affirmations...

MsD so good to see you. I wish it was for better news. Hang in there this sure is the scenic route.

Gtree i am both sorry and relieved to hear that your so sick. Please pass the torch on! I think we would all gladly kneel for the porcelain goddess and tss our cookies!!

So i hit a thursday night, saturday morning, sunday afternoon bd target, and Im fairly sure i O'd in there somewhere. Tomorrows temp will confirm.

If i may retro comment. Dh used to make me so upset by not saying the right things. I agree with all the comments that this group is my rock of support when i need it. If i ever get a bfp i think you will know before i even tell him. A funny change. Since our pause i just dont talk to him about it at all...now he seems the obsessed one. If i dont feel well or have breast tenderness- HE is the one saying "maybea we are pregnant". I never mentioned my last af so when he was here last he was hoping i had a surprise...then this weekend he wanted to know where i was cycle wise- haha thats a big change in direction.

I think Indie asked where i was....well...armpit of NY...near buffalo on the PA side. About an hours drive from Niagara falls...in HOLLAND NY. Google map it...middle of nowhere!!! There is one hardware store(very cute) and a pharmacy...thats about it. Grub hub laughs at me! Yikes. I just flew back and the quiet is nice but i miss dh and the comforts of home..hopefully this darn house closes soon and i can get settled.

Well happy tuesday and keep posting...my first day back is sure to feel lonely.

[SKJ2011]

Just a quick drive by to say to Shell. Did you POAS??? Your chart looks pregnant!!! Come on birthday baby!

[Shell77]

Sherry: yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay for good timing, I love how your DH is all excited now... reverse phycology is greatness  I am sad that ypou are Lonely though... hopefully you will both be reunited soon.... xoxo

THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR THE BIRTHDAY WISHES    ....... My temps are still in the 98's ... 98.33 to be exact today ... so up 3 points from yesterday... I am stilll having sore breast but not as bad... it seems to be improving... i still look 4 months preggo ... My belly is so bloated!!! and I am having ... a weird feeling in the middle lower part of my abdomen... its kinda like a pressure or a fullness... maybe a gassy type bloated feeling... strange to discribe :-/  ... I guess that is the mild ohss... I don't know this is the first time I have had this problem... Day 25 of my cycle and no pink!!  I cannot wait till Oct 1 ... I really hope I am pregnant!! or I am going to be super bummed out... DH said we will do another IUI if I am not... then onto IVF if that doesn't work ...

How is everyone? where is everyone at in thier cycles? 

Gtree: how are the twins?

[sherryvhkb]

Shell. Your chart does look amazing!!! Even a little implantation dip maybe!! Go baby go!

I just left babies r'us.....feeling cheap and easy....i have no willpower...
