Congrats, Serena! 

 

Well, I went for it and tested and I think I'm out. irked.gif BFN at 11/12 DPO. I won't test again until Sunday, if AF doesn't show by then and I bet she will. I think she'll be here Friday, maybe Saturday at the very latest and if my LP is great. Could even be tomorrow. I'm not surprised since I am just not feeling it, but it's still a bummer. I wanted to start trying last summer but couldn't because of some medical stuff and now I'm so frustrated since if this is going to take a while I'm so mad I lost those months. DS was on the first try but DD took 6 mo so I've been here before and I just dont' want to be here for another bunch of months! Just need to feel bummed today and then I'll be fine, I'm sure. That one lonely line kills me. mecry.gif

Katie- Awww Hun, I know the feeling, but it will happen. Your not out till AF shows. I didn't think I was either, a bunch of bfn tests and no symptoms and I was wrong lol

Katiecornflakes hang in there. Serena is right we haven't got AF so we are still in the game. Are you having any AF symptoms? I don't know what I'm having...kinda crampy here and there sometimes feel like its gas pains.

That's pretty much what I have, too, Becky. I don't usually get much in terms of pre-AF symptoms, though, so I'm expecting it to just start out of the blue like usual. I am still pretty exhausted but my littlest is sick and not sleeping well, so I'm sure that's it. Blech.

Me too, ladies. No major symptoms, just what I mentioned last night which are by no means conclusive either way. I decided not to test this am, I don't want to see another negative. I am trying to stay calm and remain cautiously optimistic! Expecting AF Saturday. Fx mamas! I'm hoping we continue this string of BFPs!!

Serena- Congrats to u! How exciting!

Katie- Hang in there. It's not over until AF shows.

Cindy- thanks for those links. I need to do more research about things.

AFM- I had bloodworm done before Christmas to check my thyroid and my levels were 5.1. My Dr says that is borderline normal and wasn't going to change my meds. I told the nurse I was still symptomatic but haven't heard if she is going to increase my meds. Every where I have read online says that TSH needs to be under 2 when getting pregnant. Guess I'll see what she says about an increase. They know I am not on BC and there is a possibility I could get pregnant. She is usually good about listening to how I feel.

You're so optimistic. I love it! Need a bit of that but I guess I'm trying to protect my emotions with negativity. eyesroll.gif We shall see. DH was ordering stuff from amazon and I got some FRERs for next cycle, just in case.

Congrats Serena!joy.gif

 

Katie - sorry about that lonely line! I totally know how you feel!! I took a few tests last month before AF was due and was sorely disappointed:( Wish I had waited and not seen that lonely line so many times, it's so sad.greensad.gif Don't give up hope, you too Becky and SparkleMaman, keep the faith!!smile.gif

 

And, I just have to say "WOW, this thread gets lots of action"! I need to stay on top of it more often, there's so much to keep up on! I'm 9DO and am itching to test but am staying strong (so far) and am hoping I can wait until at least Monday to test. It's so hard not to think that everything is a sign and I try not to get too excited and instead just shrug things off as them only being in my head nut.gif but it's so hard! UGH!!

Katie and Suzie Totally! I am so mad at myself for testing last weekend and earlier this week, that lonely line is such a let down. 11 or 12 DPO today and I am trying so, so hard to stay positive. This is my 8th cycle TTC #2. The previous two months were especially hard. I know it's silly but I just have a good feeling this month, I'm feeling lucky!

You can do it, Suzie!! I tested and 9 DPO and it just made me bummed. You can wait it out!

 

Hugs, Sparkle. I hope it's the lucky month for you, too!

Thanks for the support Katie! We really do need to be each others cheerleaders don't we! Glad you're feeling lucky Sparkle! Let's all try to stay positive, thumbsup.gif think positive thoughts om.gif and visualize those positive BFPs that we will all see very soon!!! goodvibes.gifpos.gif

Katie, Suzie and Sparkle...ladies don't give up on your buns in the oven. We are ALL pregnantthumb.gif. We haven't started AF and who knows when we actually implanted. Rub your belly, think happy thoughts and enjoy being pregnant. It's the power of positive thinking! Keep on peeing, squeezing your boobs until they hurt, and encourage your baby to stick aroundgoodvibes.gif. Forget about the BFN, It was clearly too early to test. Just enjoy being "pregnant" Have a wonderful day. I will check in later but we have to move by Jan 22 and still haven't found a house. I am going to try and stay busy doing that grouphug.gif

I LOVE all the positive attitudes! Makes the TWW much more enjoyable!

Dahlia- you have been quiet today. Hope you are doing okay. As hard as it is (I know because I have been there) try to focus on this month. Have you tried temping? DH and I tried for DS for a year. Once someone told me about temping I got pg within 3 months. Fertility Friend online has a GREAT charting app. Just FYI!

Wow. Hmm. Interesting. I will continue my (cautious) positive thinking, then!
