[anxiouslywaiting910]

Well I had a spot of blood sat morning!!!  This would by far not be perfect timing for a BFP but of course part of me still wants it to be. IDK maybe it was just a fluke...I didn't have any implantation bleeding with the last 2 pregnancies. I would be even more nervous being I just got the abnormal pap results.

[bam1014]

Northern - we'll miss you!!

I'm starting a new CB thread in a couple of minutes, so I'll meet you ladies over there =)

[northernsunshine]

Good morning ladies,

Well this will be my last post for awhile.  I'm leaving in the morning for a week for  trainning, work related.  The one good, or bad thing depending on the way you look at it, is that i won't be able to check my charts everyday so i won't be so preoccupied with it.  I have been having sore breasts lately which is increasing everyday and always starts around the same time each month a week before AF shows so i'm thinking were out this month....but i'm going to continue trying because they do say the HSG helps for up to 3 months so I'm still in the game...lol

Take care ladies and I hope to come back to plenty of BFP!

Baby dust to all!

[bam1014]

Joy - we always say around here it's not over unti AF shows!  You can implant as late as 10DPO, so you never know . . . . I hope that you are pleasantly surprised!!

Helen - I really hope your AF comes (or BFP) so you can really get back on the train.  How long will you wait for her before you call your doctor?

[Gailybaby]

well i promsied myself no medhelp.... suprise! lol 7dpo today had sore boob yesterday an today not sure what it is far to soon to be preg symptom so not even thinking that! just trying to think positive and focus on the studies for now...

well good luck alll. to the girls that think AF is arriving dont give up hope jsut yet you never knwo!

SSBD to all!!!!!!!!!!!

[bernie40]

I know the feeling hun ((( ))), very much feel like AF is about to appear, feel really out of sorts yesterday and today and got that low down ache :(  Also feeling mildly nauseaus (sp) on and off which I tend to get just before AF shows.

Hope we get some ladies with BFP's this month, SSBD xx

[12121980]

Hello ladies................... so i think i m not in the run anymore... i did a hpt today 10DPO got BFN!! i have very sensitive 10miu hpt, so i think it should have detected hcg, if i was pregnant....... didnt tell DH yet.. so i will now just wait to AF, its due tomorrow..........

SSBD TO ALL !!!!!!!

[bernie40]

I need to be strong and not test for a week.  I tested this morning and it was BFN (so no idea what I was seeing the other day).  That's 2 BFN's now.  I think if I keep testing every other day I'm just going to send myself scatty (not to mention moody).  Soooo, note to self, don't test until next Saturday.  Not going to bd without contraception now until i get an AF as this is just driving me crazy.

Beginning to think that my cycle is obviously way off and I'm not even ovulating.  It's 6 weeks since the D&C now.  I almost feel that if my AF doesn't come naturally then perhaps this is nature telling me I'm too old for anymore babies :/

Sorry for the downer, just not feeling particularly positive this morning :(

[lori0615]

I'm sure I'm about to see AF, I'm starting to get very emotional and my temps dropped yesterday and a little more today, I'm only 10 dpo today.

[bam1014]

You can get it off of amazon . com or any of the big book stores should have it.  I got mine at Borders.

[Youngmum20]

Thanks bam where can I find this book ur talking about....

[trying_x_3]

Feel kind of icky...I usually do on Friday becuase it just seems to drag on lol! Excited that today is cd8 and that I will be O'ing soon, well I hope so anyway as my cycle (last cycle) post m/c was 30 days and my normal is 27. Just to be safe we're bd'ing everyother day until I get close to my possible O dates and then uping the anti on both days I might O...well that's my plan anyway, DH has no idea what's about to happen, I want him to think its spontanious even though he keeps up with my cds almost as good as I do lol!!

Hopefully everyone is better off than I am today!!
SSBD to all!!

[lori0615]

So today i'm 10 dpo, my temps are so strange this cycle, But they went down some yesterday and a little more today so only time will tell. I'm telling myself NO HPT, it's too early Lori, don't do it.

How is everyone else?

[bernie40]

Morning ladies :-)  Well the sun is shining gloriously, temp a bit on the low side but heck it's just nice to see the sun is smiling.

Already fed-up with the waiting game, lol, just want to know what's going on with my body but not letting it get me down.  Keep feeling like AF is about to appear but then she doesn't.  Do seem to be weeing a lot more the last few days and "think" boobs feel heavier - you know when you get to the stage where you no longer trust your own instincts/feelings - that's where I'm at, thinking my boobs feel heavier but then wondering if it's wishful thinking etc etc.

Going out with my mum today to a lovely little town in the UK called Kenilworth, probably have cake and a cup of tea - how English LOL

Hope everyone is feeling ok and lots of SSBD to all xx

[Wannababy10]

Got my results back she said everything looked great, and that we should bd for the next three nights!! We were so anxious right after the u/s thinking we might only have a couple hrs, that we bd before my dh went back to work! So I told my coordinator and she said to do it AGAIN tonight, and then the next two nights... Ahhh!!! My dh is surely happy!  

I am trying to be be super duper positive that this will...WILL be our month:)

FYI- I grabbed a conceive mag at my re's and it states that 80% of ovulation occurs btw midnight and 4 am while you are in deep sleep. So don't shortchange yourself on sleep, or having too many restless nights of interrupted sleep can weaken immunity, and disrupt reproductive hormone levels and hinder ovulation.

So I would assume bding at night would be best....???
Don't know about any of you but, good sleep around the time of O and the tww is never good for me... I either find myself thinking abt O during O time, or getting up to pee in the tww!! (my body playing evil tricks on me)

sorry for such a long post*******SSBD to all********  

[smr08]

Helen- don't give up, as long as she isn't around theres still hope

Joy- 7dpo is way early! Hold off a bit longer and test again. I know how anxious we get but sometimes it's better to wait because you just never know.

angelbaby- i'm sorry sweetie :( I know how your feeling. From experience, try not to put a date on conceiving, it just makes it that much harder. Sending you a big hug!

wannababy- YAY!!!!!! I hope you've been busy :)

[Wannababy10]

Hey girls!!! I just had an ultrasound to see if indeed I was ovulating when I get a positive, and the ultrasound tech said it looked like something was there... She said either I just ovulated or I will be ovulating in the next day. Just needs to be backed up with my bloodwork to be sure. Waiting for them to call me back to let me now the results!! Although, I was nervous that it was too late in the cycle to O, the tech saide my endometrial lining was a 10 just where it should be... Yay!!!

Joy-- way to early!!! Bam is right, implantation usually occurs around 7-10 days past ovulation.. I hear ya though about being depressed about not getting prego. My sis is due with her second in may and I just found out yesterday, my brother and his long term girlfriend are expecting in Oct!!! I just wanted to cry... Thank god I got that smiley face yesterday, or I might have lost it!!!

Here's hoping to a great month for us all ;)
*********SSBD*************

[trying_x_3]

Don't give up yet, it's so not over till af shows, I have heard of so many people who don't get a + till day of af. I personally never get them until the day before. Hope you get your BFP soon...SSBD.

[1angelbabyM]

Well, I'm at CD 1 today and feeling kind of sad.  My EDD is March 30 and I really wanted that BFP before that.  My SIL who was pregnant with me when I m/c is having her baby Friday and I'm super happy for them and I can't wait to meet the little guy; however, it so unfair!  I SHOULD be getting ready to meet my little one too in a few weeks and their son and my baby would have gotten to grow up together...only in a perfect world.  Now here I sit, crampy and yucky with nothing but a recent diagnosis of MFTHR and low progesterone.  Hopefully sometime soon I'll have that BFP.  Sorry for being Debbie Downer today!

Sending SSBD to everyone in need!!

[12121980]

Gaily baby-- Thanxs for the support!! i feel much better now... i really got worked up, i wanted to be cool this tww but i donno i lost it today... i m not going to test again until 14dpo!! Hoping that u get ur BFP This month!!  Sending some baby dust to u...

Bam-- yeah, i too feel it was too early.. but couldnt stop myself!!! may be i m also POASA!! SSBD.......

Lori-- thanks for the babydust.. sending loads to u too..

and SSBD to all you lovely ladies.........

[bam1014]

Youngmum - Other than OPK's, you can chart your BBT or check your CM.  I strongly recommend the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler.  She goes into depth in these methods.  If you have stretchy egg white cervical mucuous (EWCM) it's a good sign that you are close to O'ing.  If you chart your BBT, it is a tool to be looked at in hindsight and often won't tell until after you have O'd, but still a good method IMHO.  I'm no good at checking cervical position or open or closed (I've read it's easier to do after you given birth and I never have).  But the book also discusses that as well.

Joy - waaaaaay too early to test :)  Odds are implantation would not have even occured yet and that has to happen before your body starts producing HCG.

[Gailybaby]

hey hunny, you only 7dpo most of the earliest BFp cme at about 10 so dont give up and dont be down. you coudl have a little bean in there that you make sad vibes for...

Do yourself a favour test when you are late for AF, really is it worth doing 5 tests and seeing BFN becuase it to early and then secound guesisng that test because you know its to early but you so badly wnat it to be postitive that you test anyway!

http://www.fertilitree.com/category.aspx?categoryid=25

this is a link that will make you think twice about ever testing early again. and i for one woudl rather see AF and cry than see a BFN! dont knwo how you feel.


One last thing you WILL get a BFP when God is ready to give it to you trust in his plan and trust in him have faith! he will show you the right thing and help you achieve everything you ask of him in time,.

Good LUCK hunny I pray this month is your turn as I know what its like when ever one aroudn has their little bundles and you depserately want your own.

[12121980]

Well its 7DPO and couldnt resist taking an HPT.. which was BFN.... as expected.... i donno if it was too early to test... but i still dont have any sysmtoms as yet.. so i kinda feeling very low today... may be i was just getting too excited abt the ovulation after all....
i donno when this journey of ttc is gonna end......... all my friends who started TTC with me either have babies or expecting them soon...

i really cant make out. what is that i m doing wrong? why cant i have conceive just like them.......

sorry.. looks like a venting session......

[bernie40]

Well I think I was seeing things the other day as the hpt I did this morning (no I couldn't wait till Sat) was definitely BFN.  Took the one out from the other day and could see nothing, so must have been seeing things when I thought I saw a faint line :(  ah well, it's early days, still no AF and no idea if or when I ovulated.  Shall just keep testing if AF still doesn't appear, looks like I should have bought 100 hpt's like Trying, lol.

Tausha, hope they can do all this super quick for you and sort it out, thinking of you xx
