I'm about to jump out of my skin over here! yayyy!

Congrats!

GL Blonhrt! FX!

I woke up to a BFP this morning on an frer!!! Oh my goodness, I'm so excited. My hubby doesn't come back from work until tomorrow...I have 24 hours of agony before I can tell him! I promised myself I'd never do it over the phone...do I've got to hold myself to it!

Oh my gosh! I can't believe I'm going to be a mom!

[mamacatsbaby]

Congratulations auntikerry! I hope you have a happy, healthy, oh so boring nine months. Enjoy your pregnancy and I know you can't wait for that little squishy baby!

Does your temp normally drop before AF? I had a drop today of .6(f) I'm expecting it means game over for this cycle. Hugs to you, it's very discouraging to be so hopeful and then have such a low temperature.

So disappointing after being sure this month. Has anyone got any tips or routines for getting back up again?

 I'm sorry oxford :(

AFM: Temp dive today at 11DPO ( my chart ) I'm expecting this means that AF is on her way. 

[auntiekerry]

Question! I called my clinic re: my BFP, and they want me to wait until march 12 for my first visit. Is that normal? No directions? No eating guidelines? Nothing until then? I feel like someone turned off the light and I'm stuck in the closet.

I've been taking a prenatal for two years, so I'll obviously continue that. But, what is immediately next that I should be thinking (worrying!) about?!

Tia!!

  They are probably planning on an early ultrasound (that would be around the 8 week mark right?) and that's why it will be in March. I normally don't get seen until 12 weeks. This first trimester means keeping up on your prenatals, sleeping lots, and eating whatever your stomach can handle. :)

 20m8ie!  This is a fine place to vent.  TTC is tough business. 

[CLplus1]

Congratulations to those of you who got positives!

I'm only 6dpo :( but my face is breaking out and that is not a normal period symptom for me (I'm weird and break out early in my cycle if I'm going to), and I'm irritable, but that may be because my face is a mess lol. I hate 33 day cycles, I was supposed to be able to test in a couple days boo.

[KHughe12]

Hello!!

I've been lurking off and on this month.. And I'm really excited that there are already some BFPs!! Congratulations, mommas!

I'm just waiting to O. CD 11, and BD since CD 8. It's our first cycle trying, and I haven't started temping... So I'm not really sure when I O. I'm checking CM , but mostly our plan is to just keep BD! I think we will start temping next month if we don't catch this egg.

I'm trying to wrap my mind around the fact that getting pregnant could be much more difficult than I ever expected. I'm also learning to wrap my mind around the intricacies of conception: what an amazing process. I shouldn't be surprised that it can take a while!

Wishing everyone luck this cycle! I can't wait to see more BFPs!

[PrimalJoy]

Hi! I've been lurking and would like to join. We're trying for #4. This is our second month trying, and I'm 8 DPO. I want to wait another five days at least to test, but I'm feeling pretty impatient!

Congrats to those who have gotten their BFPs this month!

[lyterae]

I'm out for this month, I'll see you all in early March for my next TWW. :)

[amycvincent]

Welcome to all the newbies!

My temp dropped this morning, so I think I'm out for this cycle. Trying to stay half positive but I don't want to be delusional and get myself even more disappointed! This has been such a wacky cycle for me.

[AngelKissedKids]

Welcome everyone; wishing you all a short stay with us here!

Sorry to those of you who are out this month :-(

Blonhrt, I feel like we haven't heard from you in a while.  Did you POAS yesterday or today?  Fx for you!

AFM, this post-loss cycle is wacky.  I'm CD18 today and I'm quite sure I haven't ovulated yet (my cycles are usually 28-29 days long with Oing on CD15 or so).  Things were gearing up this weekend and I thought I would have O'd by now but I have plenty of EWCM again today and I haven't had any post-O nipple pain yet which I'm expecting.  So the BDing continues :-)

[dahlia810]

AKK, it seemed like my body took longer to O post loss as well. Just keep up the BDing, I bet it'll happen any day now

Blonhrt, hope everything's well with you!

Good luck everyone, hope for lots more bfps!

[publicnerdity]

anyone want to share TWW symptoms?

I think I may be pg, but it's too early to test, because today is CD 19.

But, things seem to have gotten off to a quick start...

We had a particularly amorous time midcycle...full pheromone madness of the type that preceded each of our other children's conceptions.

And then I started cramping right after sex, and then suddenly lost all interest. In fact, it hurt. And then I suspected I was pg, and got super moody...but DH's reaction was mixed because change of any type is hard for him to get acclimated to, even if it's moving a piece of furniture and he wanted to in the first place. Lost my appetite.

Then I stopped cramping. But I looked in my own eyes and I looked...different. Like I had before the times I had suspected long before a test confirmed.

Then tried to tell myself it was my imagination, and got some comfort from just assuming I was most certainly not pregnant.

Have been getting sudden hot flashes at night, have to throw off the blankets.

Now,  I swear my nipples are darkening, and my armpits STINK! and felt like I had to take a nap today, or just pass out on my feet.

Trying not to go nuts, wondering which way things are going to pan out, but I really do think I might be pg. Then I tell myself nahh, I am just imagining things.

[deli21]

So excited to hear abt the positives!!

A couple ppl have commented on charting etc, another option to know that worked for me with know the exact date of ovulation is the clearblue easy digital ovulation test sticks. I ordered them through Costco online and could not believe how accurate it was to get that happy face letting me know when I was ovulating. Highly reccomend it and the price was good thru Costco. I ovulated on day 19 last month an day 21 this month so it was great to know the exact day as my cycles are so long.

[amycvincent]

AF came, on to the March TWW.

Best of luck to the rest of you!
