Here is our new thread for December 2008. Hope we get our little x-mas gift this month.

Please update where you are at with the monitor and a little description about yourself. It would be easier to know where everyone is at in their ttc journey. I will move you wonderful gals around once we get settled in here. Anyone can come in and join us. I hope I didn't forget anyone. Please let me know if I did.

Goodluck everyone

Hi Ladies,

PLEEEASE cross your fingers for me and send all the positive vibes you can! I am at CD29 and woke up this morning (Monday) to the faintest of faint positive lines on my stick test. Called my doc and she told me to come in asap for HGC BW. I will find out tomorrow morning whether or not it is truly a BFP!

To recap from last month's thread, Dec. 2nd was our due date from pregnancy #1 that ended in m/c, so it will be a beautiful thing to hear we are pregnant and turn a sad day to an ecstatic one!

Also, Dec. 3rd is my birthday, so that would also be the best birthday present ever!

If I get a BFP tomorrow, I go back on Weds. for more HGC BW to make sure it's doubling.

I'm going to sleep well tonight... Yeah, right!

Hoping this will be the start of a positive trend for our group this month!

 

[LibertyBelle]

Wow jbandaru! That's wonderful news! Crossing my fingers for you!!!

:

I'm currently 3DPO (assuming that I O'd the day after my first peak reading), and am CD21. It's a long wait until test day but I'm hoping to keep myself distracted with Christmas stuff. No symptoms worth mentioning right now because they're the same ones I felt last month when I thought I was "for sure" pregnant.

The reason I have a CBFM is that one of my good friends got her BFP and decided to lend me her monitor. I'm trying to think of a great gift for her to say thank you. Any ideas? She's about 12 weeks in now.

Anyways, lots of baby dust to everyone!

 

[danielac]

wtg4miracle -Thank you for starting the thread!!!

Hi Ladies,

I been busy busy...I did not get a O for november...dam Monitor asked me for 20 sticks..GRRRRR

: so...here I am again..waiting for Aunt flow...and than I'll start the monitor so I will let you know! I think I'm going to start on clomid in January so I'm pretty excited about that!

I hope everyone had a great thanksgiving....and I wish you all baby dust for this new year...!!!!!!

BTW now...

 

[chel]

thanks wtg!

jbandaru -

:

I'm on cd 61. My temps are so erratic I stopped temping. I called my OB yesterday and was given the go ahead for clomid and something to jumpstart AF. I'll use the monitor for my clomid cycle, I just don't know if that will happen by the end of December!

 

[jbandaru]

I PAOS again this morning (even though the doctor will be calling in a few hours) and the second line was unmistakable this time.

:

So, I have a good feeling about what the doctor will say. Now, we just need to hear that the HGC blood work shows a double when I go back on Weds...

Woo Hoo! I truly hope that this will set the trend for this month!

Hi ladies! And Congrats jbandaru!

I just started using the monitor this month and already have a question for you.

AF came last Sunday, and seemed to be totally over by Day 5. Nothing unusual there. Well, I got my first High reading on the monitor on day 7 and peak reading on Day 9 and 10 (today) - which is all way earlier than I thought it would be. The weird thing is that I started bleeding again on day 8 and still am now on day 10. I've never had bleeding return days after totally stopping before.

So my question is - has anyone gotten a peak reading while still bleeding? Any ideas on what's going on?

Thanks! And hope for more BFP this month!

This is so great considering the special timing.

Njsummer01-- Welcome to our group. I never had this happen before. My af is usually very light maybe 2-3 days long and thats it. Have you been on meds prior to this cycle. At first I was thinking ovulation bleeding but you are saying 2 days makes me think something else is going on. What gets me you are surging also. Are you by any chance pregnant cause LH is similar to HCG and it might of picked it up as such.

Chel--this suckitude day 61. Let me know how clomid interacts with the monitor. I will be hopefully be on clomid this month and I hope it doesn't screw it up.

danielac--argh this is awful when you are not ovulating. It feels like a wasted month. I feel the same way on darn bcp for cysts. And they are not even clomid induced. GEEZ. Wow, it looks like alot of us will be doing clomid soon.

libertybelle--definately the holidays will keep you busy. You are right in line to know right before xmas, how exciting!! I missed all my opportunity to give my dh a nice xmas present. For your friend, maybe a scrapbook where she can document where she can place pics and anything pregnancy and baby related in a book. I would love this gift if I was pregnant.

 

[JszGirl]

Hi All, CONGRATS jbandaru & geekgolightly ... Please pass on the luck we would really LOVE it..
As for me the monitor has been only been getting lows for the last 6 days, WHY ahhhhhhhhhh.. The first two months the monitor asked for 20 sticks then last month it only asked for 10 and it FINALLY GAVE ME PEAKS ...

:

.. Oh and I had thermometer issues so I can't use that method to see if I ovulated ..
Again Congrats to the BFP's and good luck to the Rest ..

 

[jbandaru]

Thanks all for your congrats!

Doc confirmed a BFP with a HGC of 16 at 4 weeks 2 days, but am still crossing all toes, fingers, and whatever else that my HGC is double when I go back for draw #2 tomorrow. Stick baby stick!

Today would have been the day for AF to show, and I had what felt like regular cramps all day. So, every time I went to the bathroom I braced myself, but thankfully after a little rest this afternoon, still no spotting and the cramps seem to have gone away.

Will keep you posted and I have a good feeling that this is going to be the trend this month!

woohoo!!

:
lucky you!!!! I went threw 20 of those dam sticks and no PEAK!! UGHHHH!

 

[MRJmama]

I'm not playing with the monitor this month....and since I'm not tracking anything either I guess I can be put in the waiting to know category.

I figured with all the company and the holidays coming up I would just get stressed about not being able to do what I wanted when I wanted to anyway, I needed the break too!

I went 2 months with it wanting 20 silly sticks and no peaks !! The da*m monitor is so picky ! Good Luck ....

 

[holly22685]

Wow so yea it only took me about 5 days to find this darn thread. Lol and now that I'm here Hello everyone!

:

:

I am currently on CD 19 test stick #11 and nothing but lows for me. UGH so you can put me up under the Waiting to "O"

:

Njsummer01-- Welcome to our group. I would take a Pregnancy test specially if you were getting highs that early fallowed by a peak. Though it very well could be that you just happen to ovulate earlier this month so take advantage of the Peak and I hope you did lots of BDing and just maybe caught that egg.

CONGRATS

: jbandaru what a wonderful gift for your birthday and what a way to brighten up such a sad day. And Happy Birthday

:

JszGirl-- I hear ya I think I've had to use 20 sticks every month and last month was the only month I got a peak. I wouldn't care so much if I would at least get a darn peak every month.

:

danielac-- Yay for the PEAK now catch that egg

:

LibertyBelle-- Keeping my fingers crossed for you. Hope you caught that egg.

:

chel-- wow 61 days so far well more now if AF hasn't come yet sounds like my cycles lol.
