Let's keep the BFP's rolling in gals!!  CHUGGA CHUGGA WHOO WHOO

[bam1014]

So I was right in my assumption that I O'd yesterday.  I had the u/s with the RE this morning and she saw that one egg had dropped.  She asked if DH could make it in ASAP and do the IUI today, but because we had BD less then 9 hours before I wasn't sure how many swimmers he had left in him.  We decided to go at this 'au natural'.

At least we know that our timing is spot on.  And since I did O so early, thankfully this *should* be a short cycle.

Here is what I've taken from these past couple of cycles.  You will NEVER know the exact date that you O.  As someone said in the last thread, OPK's and BBT are only a guideline.  The only way to get that BFP is to BD BD BD BD!  I'm going to wear hubby out  so that he won't know what hit him!

Oh, and I did ask the RE about the benefits of grapefruit juice.  She said that she had heard that works as well as pineapple juice, but of course there are no scientific studies.  I have no idea if it affected my cylce, since I thought it was too early to even start OPK's or check CM.

I also asked why the heck I would O SO early and she said she didn't know.  But sometimes she sees as the seasons change it effects a woman's cycle.  Who knew?  So don't wait until it's too late to start BD'ing and don't stop too early!

[DMarie919]

Bridgette....that was my philosophy this past cycle.  Start early and go late late late into the cycle because obviously what i had been trying wasn't working.  We did even up to CD28 and I am TIRED!  LOL!  So now the wait is still on.....

I am so hoping that Oing early was a good sign for you and maybe that BFP will pop up out of nowhere....  

Good luck TWW girls....!

Tausha..I'm sorry about AF!!!  I told Lori that the witch needs to take a hike on her broom this Halloween and go far far away!!!

[Princessa745]

Good morning Ladies!! Ok so its 7dpo for me today, Just tired. I left work yesterday with just enough time to throw in a load of laundry, and shower to go to my part time. I had a 2 hr promo yesterday. So happy to make dinner eat and put on my jammies.

Northernsunshine my temp yesterday was 98.48m and today it was 98.26., i woke up at my usual time 6:15am. I too slept till 10:00am, lol.

Now i don't know if this is a good sign, lol, its a spanish superstition that i know of. That if the woman is pregnant and she goes over her partner, like i do everymorning to get out of bed that the woman gives her symptoms to her partner. The last couple of days ny BF has felt fine, and he eats and a few minutes later throws up, and then he feels fine after. So maybe i gave him morning sickness, lol. Anyone else here of such superstition?

Tausha, i'm sorry AF played with you. She did the same to me and northernsunshine last month. It stinks.

Dmarie919- fingers toes and everything crossed for you!!!!!!!

Bridgette- Bed, bed, bed. Sending you loads of sticky baby dust!! Have everything crossed for you. Maybe this is a sign that you will get your bfp, just before you were to do the iui!!!!!!

[selaiwa]

Just popping in to drop off a load of baby dust to all of you!!

[PrincessJam]

[smr08]

Bridgette- I'm praying that your BD timing was right on the mark!!!! Extra prayers and everything crossed! I want this soooooooo bad for you! Believe me, NOTHING would make me happier than knowing that i'm gonna be a cyber Aunt to your little one :)

Dana- XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Thats everything crossed!

Rossie- keep going over him!! Tell him if his BB's get sore it's a definite! Good luck Hun!

Debbie- Keep it comin!!!!!!!

Hi Everyone!  I hope its not too late to pop by for some Baby Dust!  I am 12 DPO and still got a BFN.  Hubby and I have been TTC for 9 months.  I have 31 day cycles and am due for AF Tuesday.  Wish me luck!!


BIGGEST WISHES OF BABY DUST TO YOU ALL!!!!!  :)

[selaiwa]

Hi ladies.I have been looking over some of your charts and noticed that some of you have your cervix texture as medium starting at 9dpo. I just wanted you to know that mine was always firm but 2 days before I got my BFP I noticed that it was softer and in a medium position.  lots of baby dust!

[BabyBumpHopeful]

[ladyashia]

Hi Ladies !! So far still spotting ! I am starting to get crampy , Headache and backpain !!
HA - I stopped caffeine intake !!
Backpain - I am a Nurse , show me a Nurse with no backpain !!!???

I just dont want to get my hopes up !!

[northernsunshine]

ladyashia- i understand not wanting to get your hopes up....but stay positive...your not out until AF completely shows.  My cousin had cramping and headaches as well and she is due to have her beautiful baby boy next month so hang in there.

BabyBumpHopeful- never too late to pop in for baby dust. My DH and I have been ttc for 9 months also.  I'm seeing a specialist on the 26th.  DH's sperm count was fine so there might be something wrong with my oven...i hope not.  Good luck to you! and SSBD your way!

selaiwa- i'm so hopefull that we will have tons of BPF this month...and i hope that i'm one of them...lol.

Rossie- I hope your superstition is correct...and if so I'm switching sides with my DH....lol

[smr08]

BabyBump-Welcome to our group! We have plenty of Baby Dust to go around! Good luck, I hope af is to busy to show up at your door on Tuesday....Lori

[bam1014]

Babybump - welcome!  There's plenty of SSBD to share all around!

Morning ladies.  Well I was really bad yesterday and didn't do one stitch of homework.  I decided it was a day for "me time".  Boy do I regret it, I always do.  So I get to spend the day with my nose in a book.  It sure would be a lot better if that book was entertaining like Twilight or something and not Federal Income Tax.  Ah well.

[smr08]

Morning Girls! Any news from anyone?? I'm waiting........................

Bridgette- I had "me time" yesterday to and boy does my house look it!!! Now to motivate myself to do something....ahhhh the joys of housework!!!!!!!

[bam1014]

I'd rather do housework then homework =)  Wonder if I can convice DH how fun it would be to scrub the toilet?

[ladyashia]

Good morning !!!
I am lazzy today !!! We have kinda a storm here .... So it will be PJs , hot tea , reading and I think I will bake a applecake later !!

[ladyashia]

ps thanks Bam ..... I am trying to stay positive !!!

[smr08]

ladyashia-MMMMMMM!!! Apple cake!!! That sounds really good about now, to bad i'm not a good baker!

Bridgette- Hmmm, maybe i'll try and convince my DH to do the same thing! The bathroom is my least favorite thing to do!!!

[peterjl]

So, I'm officially CD 3 or 5.  Very strange cycle for me- I started spotting Wednesday and Thursday, then normal Friday and now spotting.   I'm supposed to have an u/s Wednesday to see if the cysts have shrunk and maybe start meds, but with this weird cycle, I'm not expecting the u/s to be good.  It just never gets easy or normal for me.  Very frustrating!

[Princessa745]

good morning ladies. 8dpo for me today. tired, lazy and a headache that just nevers seems to go away. I was feeling faint, dizzy this morning and slightly nauseous. My Bf and i have spend the day in bed . Raining and snowing here. We have taken today to lounge about. thankfully i cleaned my house yesterday. Hope everyone is doing well. Sending truck loads of baby dust.

[Steph_b]

hi all...Snowing and raining here too.  Just relaxing after a nice turkey dinner at my future in laws.  Hubby is out hunting (crazy considering the weather).  As for me I'm CD22 or 7dpo..  i've been tired and sorry TMI but tons of creamy CM the last few days.  I had the same thing with my previous pregnancy so hopefully it's a good sign.  Also a little bloated.  I am determined not to test until I am officially late.

Wishing everyone some good luck!!!

[DMarie919]

Princessa-spending the day in bed...hmm...I haven't known what that is like since...4/15/07! (ds's birthday..HA!)  It sounds delightful though! :)

Just got back from a memorial service at one of our local hospitals.  They do a nice non-denominational memorial service for those who have had a pregnancy loss or infant death as part of Pregancy Loss Awareness Month.  They gave out beautiful handkerchief angels to take home.  They read beautiful poetry and sang songs.  Speaking of which, anyone should check out Glory Baby by Watermark.  It's a beautiful song.  

Steph_b: I have had the creamy CM a lot lately too....I am CD34 today and I wish I would just get AF soon so I could stop stressing about what to do about my OB appointment on Tues!!!

I guess I will test tomorrow though I'm sure it will be a BFN....

Baby dust to all!

[ladyashia]

Hey ladies !!!
No apple cake :(
a LOT of cramping and I started bleeding . Not very much but def. Bleeding :(
wwwwaaaaayyyyy to early !!????

Babydust to all of you !!!! :)

[smr08]

Steph- good luck trying to wait! LOL I hope you don't have any stray test laying around, those things are just so darn tempting!! Fingers crossed for youXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Mary- do you think it was the cysts that messed things up? Sending you a ((BIG HUG))

Rossie- I would love to spend a day in bed, but like Dana, I haven't been able to do that since 9/26/1987!!!!!!!

Dana- I am officially a contortionist for you!!!!!! I really hope this is your lucky month!!!

ladyashia- I'm sorry:( I know how discouraging it can be. If you need to cry then cry, sometimes it makes us feel a little better. ((hugs))
