*sigh* I think I am comfort eating to distract myself...... There goes a whole pizza :-/ but yay on having just bought a huge bundle of pregnancy tests, they will be winging it down here from u.s in a matter of hours I believe. Exciting!
Oh And anyone else have an insanely sensitive nose while ttc?

[zonapellucida]

Congrats to all the new BFP's and dust for those who AF decided to visit.  I have tested three times already and I am not due until the 17th.  it is an illness!!  I have three more tests waiting.  The first one came back positive but it was early, early so I don't know if I believe it since I have had tow negatives.  I know it isn't over until AF shows but I still stare at my BFP daily and then look at the other two negatives and LONG for the BFP to be right.  Those are my woes this morning.  Hope this post finds you all healthy and happy  Heidi

zona, that sounds frustrating.  I hope you get another BFP soon to confirm you are indeed pregnant!

Sithijaya, did you test yet?

AFM, I didn't test this morning.  $store was closed by the time I stopped by yesterday and I didn't want to use my last FRER.  Nipples are still sore but maybe slightly less sensitive/painful than yesterday.  It's odd to keep hoping for a bit of pain each time I nurse my DD since I know it will only get worse when I do get pregnant but it's the only symptom I have that keeps me hopeful about this month!

Liv, no harm in trying again with fmu! If it's early, then there is the chance that your urine was too diluted to pick up the hcg. Good luck!!!

You ladies who have the will power to wait to test are so inspiring and awesome to me!!! I have the will power and patience of a two year old when it comes to testing! Way to go! Sending you all good vibes, hugs, and baby dust!

I'm still just waiting around for O, BDing tons, and being impatient lol

Seriously!! I just graduated in may and even now I am just horrible! I can't hold my liquor anyway I am such a light weight... Woops! And on top of that I worked a 9 hour shift then we went to dinner at Texas Roadhouse and had the worst experience I've ever had! I fell asleep on the couch at 8:30 and didn't wake up until 830 this morning... I needed it!!!

14 dpo : 74% 

15 dpo : 80% 

16 dpo : 88% 

17 dpo : 92% 

18 dpo : 99%

I definitely agree that if you're going to use Dollar Tree hpts make sure you use FMU!

Jjh5351 :-) good on you for letting your hair down! Hope your feeling a little better now though!
Dahlia I am such a lightweight these days, I'm quite slender and it only really takes two drinks to have me feeling tipsy. Cheap date my husband likes to say. Hehe I'm so impatient I am writing lists of things we will need for this baby, and knitting tiny newborn items.
livnkadesmom I would definitely try again with FMU! All the best thinking of you!
Sithijaya that is so sweet your husband is so excited!!!! Look forward hearing how your evening goes! Fx for a BFP!
AFM feeling a bit flat today...... Had a very early morning my boys were up at5am and we had a late night last night, must remember to slow down & take slightly better care of myself. Trying to stop myself checking out baby name websites.....

I hope your tests show up... That would drive me nuts! I'm feeling better and now that I got that out of my system I should be good for awhile!

Sithijaya: Good luck! let us know how things go! And as far as being a yogi, I do yoga (well I did, haven't done much with any kind of regularity for a bit) but I'm no master or anything close .

dahlia: I don't know if it's willpower so much as reeeeeeeeaaaaalllllllyyyyy not wanting to see that lonely little line if it's too early . I picked up a box of tests today though and I'm really debating myself .

jjh: Hope you're feeling better!

Livnkadesmom: I've had a BFN that turned BFP three days later when I tested again. It was a $Tree test and I think I took them later in the day both times (though I can't be certain as I can barely remember what I did earlier today let alone almost four years ago ).

Blah, I am pooped! But I am NOT going to bed . Hope your days were all lovely .

I hope you get that BFP! I'm feeling better and ready to start baby making again

Good luck!! I am sure you still have time for that BFP!!

Dollar tree and I are not on good terms- they have been out of tests at the one by my house every time I go! Good luck!

[dahlia810]

ughhhh MONDAY. still no positive opk and losing patience!

[SparkleMaman]

Dahlia OMG, me too! Was totally expecting a positive this morning. So weird. Hoping tonight or tomorrow!

[dahlia810]

me too sparkle!! I feel like I could possibly be having O pains right now, so maybe the little bugger is getting ready to take the leap. my cm has gotten more abundant just between checking early this morning and now, and it's watery. so hoping for a positive tonight!!!! I feel like I've had so much sex over the past week that a little break will be nice after I O.

[SparkleMaman]

LOL Agreed!

[Blonhrt88]

Haha, I'm sure you'll get it soon dahlia. Sparkle, when are you supposed to ovulate?

I'm still like a week away. :/

[katiecornflakes]

Hugs, girls. I hope those follicles are getting ready to pop out nice, strong eggs! This is when I hate having a longer follicular phase. I hate waiting to o! I'm probably not going to until Saturday-ish, so Blonhrt we will be together. 

Got my progesterone today! Whoo hoo! Hope it is the ticket to a BFP. Fingers crossed! I think the dose she gave me is a little low but I'm trying to trust in her (even though she told me she was looking it up ). I'll give it a couple of cycles before I mess with it myself. Heehee. My LP has been short but not horrendously so, so hopefully I'll just need a little push in the right direction progesterone-wise. I miss the Crinone since it worked for me last time but I didn't mind having only a $5 copay. So much nicer. 

[SparkleMaman]

I am CD 11 today and should O today or tomorrow, feeling O twinges and tons of EWCM despite negative OPK this am. Slight temp rise yesterday and today so I am close. I have a short cycle, 25-26 days. I usually O on CD 11 or 12. My LP is always 14 days though. I suspect the short FP may account for some of my difficulties conceiving this time. I was successful first try with #1 and this is cycle 9 TTC #2. I am 36 so shortened follicular phase and diminished ovarian reserve are very likely my reality. I've used those at home fertility tests, which test FSH at CD 3, which have been normal. *shrug* Time will tell! Feeling really good about this cycle. I'm rooting for an October baby! Oh, and Dahlia I'm in Central NY, nearly the geographic center. It's nice here. Cold and snowy but very family friendly.

Ah I have the sensitive nose thing if you mean like scent is so highly sensitive! I almost threw up a couple months ago because I smelled beef jerky (which I HATE!)!

Bummer keep up the faith it'll happen soon!

I hope that in a couple months when I go in for fertility testing (if I have to!) that progesterone will be my answer! Good luck!!

[chuord]

Hi ladies, you all sound like you are moving along well - sending heaps of baby dust to those testing
Blonhart Katie, I'm with you guys a week or do till O... I bought done opk's so I'll actually be able to work it out!

[SparkleMaman]

OPK still negative, so weird! Maybe tomorrow.

[dahlia810]

mine too sparkle. so frustrating! and I got a little ewcm too

[DanielleNZ]

Fingers crossed for positive opk's ASAP ladies!
Just waiting waiting waiting here! The next week and a half are going to go sooooo slowly!

[katiecornflakes]

Dahlia and Sparkle, just tell your bodies to stop being polite and waiting for blonhart, chuord and me and just go on! 

[dahlia810]

hahaha that must be what it is. We have very courteous ovaries.

[chuord]

Rofl Katie! I love it! Hugs to all- I'm too tired to write anything intelligent. Night

[SparkleMaman]

Too funny, katie! On my phone so no cute emoticons to display. OPK still negative this morning (wondfos, I'm new to using them). Perhaps a lengthened FP will bode well for this month's chances!
