Need a cycle buddy on cd4

Hi, I had my 2nd m/c January 27th it was a chemical, it took 30 days to get my cycle (Noramally I have a 27 day cycle) and now I am starting ttc again and looking for a way to pass the time. I usually ovulate on cd 13, and have a 14 day lutenal phase. So excited to be trying again and looking for positive thoughts and optimism!

Glad you are positive - Can't believe your rubbing drinking in my face lol!!! Have one for me too - hell, have a couple for me lol!! And if DH says anything about you being an alcoholic, just raise your glass and drink to my good health lol!!! Now I have heard that women who loss a little weight CAN get preggo easier...google it! I so hope you get preggo in April, to have our healthy babies the same month would just be perfect, it makes me have goosebumps just thinking about it. I feel fine, boobs quit hurting, still cramping and dizzy and headache - plus I weeweed about 8 times (yes I counted) between 7 am- 10 am plus I got up at 5 to pee too! Without drinking a lot of water - I am now though to stay hydrated! Well, I don't know how you feel about this, but I still want to keep this post going, If it's too hard I understand, but I'd really like to have you standing by me, you make me laugh so much and I sometimes I just need a good laugh. Plus I feel like we've been through so much together already!! I am also hyper-emotional lol! I'm about to cry now - I bet all my co-workers think I'm crazy lol!! Let me know something - if you want, we can start a new post SSBD and I will keep praying that this is your month.

CD1...got it at lunch.  I guess I am back to my 28 day cycle.  I am going to be optimistic....I am going to drink tonight...go tanning for the next two weeks to start looking good....I am going to get my hair cut and colored tonight to change things up...and I am going to lose these dreaded 10 lb so I can be a size 4 again.  I would much rather be in your shoes but if these are the cards I am dealt I am going to make the most of April.  Besides if I get preggers in April I would still have a december due date.  It would actually be the same day as my D&C in 2009. I am going to be positive....How are you feeling mommy??

Thank you, and as far as symptoms, I don't have many, a little dizziness, cramps, hotflashes here and there, headaches and I have been nauseas a few times, but not long enough to even notice. You want me to call your sister for you lol! Don't give up, I really want you to get a BFP tomorrow - is that when you're testing - and if not, then it would be okay if our babies were born a month apart lol!! It will happen for you soon, I know it will and I will just keep praying for you!! SSBD

Congrats!!!  I knew it would happen for you.  I am praying that this is it for you as well.  Third time IS the charm.  I know it will be healthy.  I am glad you told your family.  I think family is the best support system in both good and bad times.  My sister has been calling me every 4 hours to ask me if my period came yet....it is starting to wear on me.  No symptoms except af cramps.  I checked my cervix this morning and it is starting to open so I think tomorrow will be the day.  I have a 29 day cycle...used to be 28 before mis...now it seems to keep on the 29 day which would be tomorrow.  I will continue to pray that something happens and it doesnt come but I am not going to get myself too excited.  Started this process January 2009 so whats one more month right.    I am so excited for you....it has been a long journey for you as well.  I look forward to seeing pictures of the little bundle of joy in December.

Well girl, I got my BFP yesterday!! On a digital too!! I just can't believe that all those faint barley there lines at 11 dpo were postives, I have never gotten one that early!! The second I found out, I started thanking God, took a pic. to send to DH and started praying that you were next. DH ended up telling everyone at work and since he works with family, we went ahead and told close family memebers...I feel so optimistic about this one, I just keep praying that this is it. Third times the charm right? I so hope this is your month too SSBD to you!!!

Yeah!!!!! I am so excited for you.  I think things look good for you.  I am sorry about not getting back to you today.  It has been a miserable day.  The kids were just super bad today then I had meetings during my free times.  Sorry again.  I am so excited for you and your BFP.  I think you should take another one tomorrow just to be sure.  I am not sure if 40 tests is enough...lol!  Just be excited...you are pregnant!!!  Jump up and down and scream...maybe not in the office but when you get in the car....did you call DH??  I bet he is super excited.  Third time is the charm!!  No news from me.  Period feels like it is coming.  What else is new....had a good hard cry last night in frustration so I should be ok now when af comes.  i wish we could both be celebrating but I am truly excited for you.

No, tanning doesn't mess with anything, I just read in one of my pg books that it's not advisable, although my aunts doc. told her it was perfectly safe and my cousin is fine. We were considering vegas, but someone has a little problem with gambling (DH not me lol)! One of the reasons we don't know what we're doing is because I just started this job at the end of Jan, so we'll just have to see!!
On a crappier not, I took somemore test yesterday, and the lines looked more real so I went to the store and bought those cheap baby test, it looked like it had a hint of a line so I went back and bought some answer test (I took a first response two days ago and it had a hint of a line, but thought I was seeing things). Now when I take the answer test on any given day, what will happen is as I lay it down the negative line will sorta outline (like its gray) before my pee moves across the screen. So I took this one and both neg and pos lines showed up outlined and then as my pee moved across the screen the pos line was so faintly pink that fi I hadn't been watching I wouldn't have seen it, I immediatley thought it was defective, so I took the other one and the same thing happened. So I got all excited and went back to the store for the 3rd time and got first response digital and it was negative...wtf!! So this morning I take another cheapie test and it looked a little more positive, like maybe another person could have seen it lol!! so I again thought a digital would show at this point, but it was bfN!! I took two more cheapies, they looked negative, but the negative line was kinda messed up (it was light in some places and dark in others) so I am just counting this as BFN for now. Sorry so long, but I just had to tell someone, and you and DH are the only ones who know. I so want to rush back out to the store and buy some more test, but am trying not to until tomorrow - if I don't get af!! This *****!! Hope you're having a better day SSBD to you!!

I actually was thinking of doing the same thing when/if af comes.  I was going to go to a tanning salon for a couple of weeks to get some color....not that I ever get tan....just a lighter shade of white...I have the worst skin.  I have a wedding to go to the end of April so I wanted to at least have a little color on my legs before I climb into a little cocktail dress. I would love to lay outside and get real sun but since it is about 45 degrees today I dont see that happening anytime soon.  Do tanning beds mess with your cycle though....I dont want to do anything that could hurt my insides.  I hope you get to do somewhere this summer....even if it is just a little trip to relax.  Go to vegas....thats where I found out I was pregnant so must be a great place.  I am not much of a gambler but the pools were wonderful!  Well 1 more day....I think I might take a test on Friday morning if af doesnt show up.Talk to you tomorrow.

LOL, didn't know if you had decided to work out or not!! I know a lot of ppl take a break for the summer, so they can strutt in bikinis and tan and have fun, but I'm definatley not going to do that!! I read that tanning is not advised during pg, so this will be the first year I'm not tan :(...we sort of, I got out in the sunshine last weekend and if I get my af, I'll be out in it everyweekend (might even tan in bed 1st 2 weeks of cycle)!! sigh, I don't think DH and I are going anywhere this summer, we hope I'll be too pregnant to go lol!! We always take our vacations in September, when its a little cooler and all the kiddo's are back in school!! No news here either, I feel totally normal lol!! I can't help but wonder if I didn't O this cycle, I almost always feel it...oh well no point in worrying!! SSBD to you, I hope you get your bfp in a few days!!!

So no new news this afternoon.  Still crampy like AF is coming but not here yet.  Probably Thursday.  My cm is getting thinner...Kind of watery.  Never had that before.  Usually is stays dry until AF comes.  I am not reading into anything.  I will just make myself crazy for the next couple of day.  I cant believe the OB told you that you didnt know when you ovulated.  We know our bodies better than anyone.  Besides I dont think any of it is an exact science.  I think our ovulation can very a couple days one way or the next from month to month.  My period was funny for a while after my D&C but I was really hoping for this to be my month.  Everything seemed to get back to normal and Jason and I have truly been saying a lot of prayers.  I just keep worrying about vacation this summer.  I havent lost the weight from the first pregnancy and I was really hoping I would be pregnant for July's vacation so it wouldnt matter.  O well.  Guess I better start getting my butt in gear and working out again.

I got to really examining those "lines" and I think it's the test, it has an indention where the line should be and if you look at it just right, you can see it so I guess that's an evap line. Tested this morning and bfN, I usually get a bfp by now, but not worried, at this point (call me crazy) I kinda want to see af, just so I'll know when I O'd this month. This goes back to the 1st pg, the doc. told me I was wrong on when I O'd and I just wasn't as far along as I thought - they were wrong, Something was just wrong with the baby. So if this cycle I were pg and had O'd late, I would be so freaked out if the doc. told me the same thing, and I would be thinking something is wrong. I really hope you get your bfp...even if that means our due dates are a month or so apart lol!! I will so not steal your names, I wouldn't do that, I had so many names picked out since I was a girl, but I scratched them all and DH and I poured through baby names and picked some out together, I still have that list and am going to "hide" it from myself when I get the strenghth to look at it. With the next pg, DH and I will probably pick out some new names together - not that it matters with a boy, we have that whole family name bs and since DH was the last in line to recieve that name, we have to make sure it continues. I guess we'll know something soon either way!!! I so hope you get your BFP!! SSBD your way - hope you don't get stress pimples lol!!!

I guess I never used test kits like those.  I use the first response rapid results that tell you in like a minute.  They are terribly expensive though.  That would be cool if we had a due date a couple of days apart.  You cant take my names though...well I guess you could if you wanted to since we dont even know eachother.  I am going to pick Addison Elizabeth if it is a girl and Jacob Andrew for a boy.  I like the name Sydney for a girl too but I think I am set on Addie.  I hope those pregnancy lines keep getting darker for you.  SSBD your way.  Only a couple more days to wait...thank god...I can just feel the stress pimples forming!!

So far, I have gotten pg everytime we've bd'd the day before O, (too bad I O'd late last month) The only problem with the "lines" is that I can't help but think that maybe I'm looking too hard or that they're a shadow, the shadow thing has happened to me before, sometimes the stupid evap line shows up during the 10 minute mark and leaves a hint of a line lol!!! I really think that's what it is too. I *thought* I saw a "hint" of a line yesterday and today, but who knows, I've never really had expereince with these tests, so I don't know how they are with evaps. I hope we are celebrating too...and if af shows for us, we'll be celebrating with glasses in our hands lol! I normally don't get anything until 13-14 dpo and af is at 15dpo, so at 12 dpo, it's a little early so I am going to count those 2 tests as bfn's for now...I have not told anyone about them, I don't want to feel stupid, although a lot of women make these mistakes...stupid tests!! SSBD HOPE this is it for us!!! IF not, I hope we get pg soon and together...then our due dates would be like a day apart lol!!

Did you test again yet??!!!  If you had a faint line I would be testing every hour if I were you.  Are you someone that gets pregnant pretty easily would you say??  If so, why not this month?  I have a lot of hope for you.  It took me so long the last time I don't even bank on anything happening for me yet.  I always get confused about my O around this time.  THe last time I got pregnant I didnt get my first positive test until 3 days after my AF was due.  DOes that mean I Oed on a different day than I thought?  Maybe I ovulate later than I think I do.  Who knows.  I always get a little crazy a couple days before "judgement day"  Its like the quiet before the storm.  Hopefully we are both celebrating by the end of the week.

LOVED newmoon and Edward too!! It's not that he's cute per se, it's that his character is so suave and sexy lol!!! I still have about 85 or so, so not too bad off lol! Not sure about bfp, it almost looks like I have a faint line, but it could be an evap line, and when I pull them out of the trash later (I know, I'm bad lol) I can really see the evap line, so that's what I'm thinking it is but I guess I won't know for sure until I get af. So sorry about O, I can't help but think that since I had ewcm for the first time on Tues. that I O'd then instead of Wed. But then again, I had spotting the Sunday before I O'd and of course there's always the off chance that I O'd on that Sat. due to the 30 day cycle after m/c!!! So if it makes you feel better, I'm kinda in the same boat and it's going to suck if I don't get af on time and I get my hopes up thinking I'm pg only to have them crushed when I start days later..this *****!! I should get af Thursday or Sunday if my cycle has changed. Hope you get your BFP...Btw, NO symptoms over here...SSBD!!

Nothing worse than a rainy Monday morning!!  How have you been?  Did you love New Moon?  I am an Edward fan myself...don't find him attractive but I like the two of them better than Jacob.  So how many pregnancy tests do you have left out of your 100 pack??  DId you get a BFP yet?  I have been hopin you would all weekend.  I am a bit crampy today so I dont know....but then again I was really crampy when I got pregnant so I am not counting myself out quite yet.  I just cant seem to figure out when I ovulated...now I am not sure....I look at my chart on here and cant figure out anything.  I think it was either day 15 or day 12.  Who knows.  I am doing everything in my power to not go and buy a pregnancy test.  Hopefully I make it until AF is due which is Thurs/Fri.

Glad ya'll are as big of dorks as we are lol!! Yeah, I want to wait until at least 14 weeks are longer, but my stomache is kinda flat and I'm afraid I'll start showing early, so that may not work. Didn't see post about softcups, going to find it though after I send you this message!! yeah, gottcha with the feeling frisky lol!! I might do something in the house, just don't know yet if I want to give up the "but hunny, I don't want to overdo it just in case I'm carring your child", it works all the time and DH doesn't fuss about the house being a wreck lol!! Yeah, we better enjoy this weekend, either way we'll survive, but the not knowing to me is sometimes (sometimes) fun...well, not so much as fun as not depressing lol!! HAVE a good time with your friends and I will see you on Monday!!

Twilight Series...Love it!!  Read it last summer.  My DH and I are hooked....we went to the theater the day New Moon came out!  Yeah we are losers!  Eclipse comes out June 30...cant wait!  

I hear you with the 40 weeks pregnant idea.  I told people at work after 13 weeks like you were supposed to....that didnt work out so well for me.  I am going to wait until people notice my big a-- stomach if I get pregnant again.  

DId you see that post about Softcups?  Its so funny but my DH and I always talk about they "leaking of semen" after we BD.  I told him I was going to invent something that kept it up there all night so I didnt have to be uncomfortable all night.  Who new...there has already been something invented.  I think I want to buy those.  I just want them so I can sleep comfortably....not for the benefits of getting pregnant...but I will take both.

I am not doing much of anything this weekend.  Just some dusting and light cleaning...maybe break out the swiffer if I am feeling frisky...lol.  I am going out with friends tonight for dinner...probably have one glass of red wine.  I hope you have a good weekend...you will love New Moon but it will leave you wanting so much more.  Baby dusk...last weekend before you know whether its a BFP or BFN!!  Exciting either way right.

HAPPY FRIDAY!!! Newmoon comes out on dvd, so instead of fighting all the pre-teens and teenage girls for it, I am going to order it PPV and watch it Sat!! aside from that, don't think I'll do to much, probably just visit with family I've been neglecting!! In my first pg - no symptoms during the tww, just cramping (and later got sick 2x) with the second I had everything, and I mean everything and that one ended earlier than the first...not trying to scare you, just letting you know that with me, any symptoms or no symptoms, I'm not going to have anything to give me peace, I bet I won't feel safe until I'm about 40 weeks lol!!! I test all the time, I am addicted to it and DH is my enabler lol!!! I'd like to know too, I have those wine-coolers I bought yesterday in the fridge just waiting to "celebrate" af if she shows...I just keep telling myself to look forward to being able to drink and I will, even if I have to fake it lol!!! Have a good weekend!! What are your plans? Don't forget I don't get on on the weekends, so if you post before 4:30 today, I'll know otherwise see you Monday!!!

So CD 23...its getting close.  I decided to not symptom spot anymore.  DH made a good point last night.  He said "why would you look for symptoms like the last time you were pregnant.  I dont want your symptoms to be anything like the last time we were pregnant.  THat one ended in a miscarriage.  I dont want that to happen again so I dont want this pregnancy to be anything like that one"  He made a good point so I am going to simply ride it out until next Friday when I am due.  I usually dont even take a pregnancy test until I am at least 2 days late.  

I am just glad its only one more week of waiting....Either way I just like to know.  What are your plans for the weekend?  Hopefully something good!

haha - I check this one more than any...Thanks for the info, I've heard that fish oil helps against m/c and I was just scared that it and the baby aspirin together might mess something up lol - I am now taking a 2-part prenatal one regualar and the other dha (brand name one-a-day) only cost 17 dollars. Yeah I figured about the only gets nutrients after implantation, but I wanted to make sure I had enough vitamins to replenish whatever the baby from the 2nd m/c took...if that makes sense. Again, thanks for the info....have a great day!!!
