Hi ladies,

Congrats to all the new BFPs!!!

Okay, can some of you take a look at my chart and tell me what you think? I'm very confused. I felt what I was sure were ovulation pains at about CD18. Fertile CM dried up around CD21-22. But my temp didn't start to really rise until yesterday at CD26. Thoughts? My charts are typically a little bit wacky because I'm night nursing my almost 1-yr old so I wake up a few times during the night.

Thanks for any input!

Congrats to all the BFPs! It's nice to see and makes me think, "Look, people get pregnant all the time and it will happen for you too!".

Lol, love it Bailey! that little active sheep is about as far as you can get from a couch zombie. I guess dancing veggies are more in line with MDC community values than couches and junk food. I'd love to see an icon for needing chocolate.

Well here I am, 6 days late....still waiting on AF...  Decided that I'll POAS on Monday (1 week, 2 days late) when I'm home alone so I can celebrate/break down crying with John depending on the result without having to hold my emotions in.

I had some CRAZY dreams last night.  One was really, really...well...kinky.   Other than that, I pretty much feel like myself.  I cramp (and have been for weeks now) but no AF.  I'm tired and I had a headache last night but it's crazy hot and I've been moving house.  All the "signs" have logical explanations besides pregnancy.

It seems that even my fail-proof "post about possibly being pregnant and eat my words within an hour or two" method has failed me.  

@#$%^!!

(Reminder: I'm very firmly in the "Waiting to be Ready" camp!)

And welcome to all the new ladies on the board - I'm sure you will find these boards a great source of support and information.. I know I have.

AFM, DH and I are not getting along very well right now, and I'm starting to question if we should continue TTC.   I do suffer from depression that gets much worse when things aren't going well with my DH, so I'm hoping its just a little kink and I will be feeling better in a few days.. but if you don't hear from me for a while, that's what's up with me.  

Hope everything is going OK and that's you're feeling better. The TTC process is so stressful and other factors that are complicated don't help. Just wanted to let you know that you're in my thoughts.

I promise not to move you until I get the "go ahead"   At this point, who know what camp you'll be moved to! Hope you get some answers one way or another soon.

sleepingbeauty: I hope everything resolves itself for you quickly and in a way that works for you

AFM: Well, FF gave me crosshairs today, but I'm not sure I agree with them. I guess time will tell!

[sleepingbeauty]

Thanks ladies.  I'd prefer AF this time but I just want to know what's going on at this point. *ugh*

LivingSky--Your pic is just too freaking cute!!  ♥

[StudyingStones]

Thanks Mayday for your kind words, I am feeling a bit better.    DH and I had a good conversation about what was bothering me, and as per usual it was an overreaction on my part, followed by him not being very clear to result in me wondering what the heck was going on.  It's good now between us, though I'm hanging onto some residual depression here.  Drinking lots of tea, and trying to get outside (difficult when the temperature is 40 degrees celsius here!!!)

I've been trying not to worry too much during this cycle and just let things be more natural.  DH and I have been dtd almost every night, not just for baby making, but to enjoy each other's company, and for some reason I really *feel* that this will be the month (I've been feeling that this would be the month since before it even started!)  Here's hoping my intuition is right!! 

We're heading into the long weekend over here, with Canada Day (aka Canadian Independance Day) being celebrated on July 1 (everyone gets July 2 off because the 1st is a Sunday), so trying to plan lots of activities to keep the little one busy.  Happy Friday, everyone!

I thought I'd share this picture because when I saw it, it made me literally burst out laughing and I had to show my DH.. hopefully nobody is offended by the language. 

[pieknits]

Thanks everyone for the encouraging words and congratulations. Certainly made me feel better! And I just got my Beta results back, 241 at 13 dpo and 680 at 15 dpo, so a doubling time of 32 hours! Yeay!!

LMAO at work over that ecard. Too funny!

Congrats to those with BFPs!

Gearing up to O (EWCM yesterday and today) but I've had a wicked migraine since Tuesday and DH kind of wants to wait another cycle to really TTC so I may not even DTD this cycle with any chance of pregnancy. I tried to convince myself I felt good enough last night but just couldn't do it. Right now would be great, though, actually. Last cycle I spent every moment thinking about "baby baby baby" and it drove both of us crazy. But I solved my baby obsession last week by adopting a puppy! So right now, every free moment is spent walking/playing/grooming/training Gryffin (short for Gryffindor) and I think I can keep the baby crazy to a minimum by being occupied with the dog. I've also got a huge project at work that occupies brain time.

So just kind of hanging out right now. We'll get there when we get there, right?

[sleepingbeauty]

That e-card cracked me up!!  

pie--That's great news!!

Alrighty girls who haven't gotten our BFP yet...WHO'S READY TO GET KNOCKED UP!!!!??? 

I'm on cycle day 2, still AF-ing of course. I'm hoping to not be buying tampons next month! Woot woot!

Magoodoggy (I think I typed that right?) I have been having those thoughts, too. "People just have sex and then pop out a baby all the time. This shouldn't be so much work." haha. I think I will be stocking up on mt. dew and/or coffee this month and will just be downing them at supper so I have the energy to BD a lot this month. Does anyone know a good libido enhancer-thing? I feel like by the time it's O time I need a little love potion number 9 to keep going.

HELL YEAH!!!  Just keep telling yourself this will be the month!!

[Quinalla]

Love the sheep jumpiing rope and that picture with the thoughts about pregnancy & success, too true!

I hope you get an answer soon sleepingbeauty!

BaileyB, I am so ready, still a week+ from Oing, so I'm just scouring forums when I get too distracted to work

[-Jenn-]

Congrats again Pieknits!!!

CD 18 here and OPKs negative.  This morning the line was definitely darker though.  Hopefully in the next couple days.

[kimble]

StudyingStones that picture is great! I have to share with DH. Maybe even hang it in my cube (after editing language!)

sleepingbeauty, I hope you have an answer soon ... the wait is bad enough when the goal is a BFP, so I hope you're ready for whatever answer the universe has for you

Were/are you a cheerleader? because you're getting me all fired up! WOO YEAH!

AFM, I also have the feeling that this may be our month. Part of it is trying to have a more positive outlook in general and part is feeling that my body has recovered some normalcy after coming off BCP. I'll be on vacation next week and have plenty to keep me distracted during the 2WW, plus no tests laying around. I'm looking forward to a week of hanging with DH, rocking out at concerts, and kicking back on a lake. If AF has not showed by Monday when we get back, I will take a test (will be 13DPO and the two cycles I temped so far were only 11 and 12 days). I hope to come back to a mess of BFPs!

No I wasn't a cheerleader but now that AF has come I am motivated to attack TTCing. I am hoping to give it a lot of energy this month and then try and be distracted from testing until I'm late, although I don't know how long this next cycle will be.

[doularebekah]

Wow, there's lots of excitement around here! Fun!

Sleepingbeauty - Fingers crossed for you that you get news that will make you happy and content, whichever news that may be :)

pieknits - Woop! That's awesome news!

AFM - FF finally gave me crosshairs! There wasn't anything I felt that indicated ovulation, not even a temp spike but I'll take it for now. Can I please me moved to Waiting to Know? Thank you!

I bought two MeLuna menstral cups to try right after my last cycle, and of course they will now sit unused (hopefully) for the next year or so. Maybe the key to a bfp is buying expensive AF products!

Hey ladies,

I am at 14dpo and this is my first cycle using progesterone suppositories for a short LP. The progesterone is working like a charm for lengthening my LP (yay!) and then I saw this with my FMU. What do you think? How many lines are there? It's more faint in the photo than in real life but I'm still not convinced! I took this photo 3 minutes after peeing on said stick.
