Well well... congratualtions chicky mama and wannabamom! This is all so awesome! Is it normal to have light brown spotting in early pregnancy? I am having some. Has anyone had it with their previous pregnancies?

I still cant believe how lucky this group was! OMG. LOL.

Congratulations to all of the new, wonderful moms!

I missed you guys so much and as usual there is so much good news. My internet gave out on me and I have been dying to see what was going on with you ladies. Lamb, chicky and wannabe congratulations. I am so happy for you ladies. I am getting a little nervous as this is doomsday week. Officially 10dpo and my bbs still haven't hurt like they normally do. I am getting sensations in mynips though. I have been having bad indigestion for the last three days as well as I keep belching. But who knows. My mom told me when she was carrying me that she didn't even know until my father said that her bbs looked bigger. Oh I had dull cramps this morning and my temps are still up. But I need to see 3 more days of high temps before I get excited. Welcome to all the new ladies.

well I went to the gyno and they took some of my blood and I should know by the end of the day : )

Jan 14, 2008

It looks like you o'ed on CD 16. Since the next day your temps went up.

So girls I didn't go to work today. I think I have a sinus infection. I feel like ****! But....I get to talk to you guys all day.

Toris- When are you going to test?

Good luck Itlyncutie!

wannabamommy

Jan 14, 2008

Hello girls. How is everyone? Congrats again to all the new mommies. And for those of you still ttc this month will be your month....look at all the BFP we got this month. I expect no less next month.

lamb- i too was wondering about the spotting. I have lt brown to dk brown spotting since implantation on wed....its very light but I'm hoping its normal. I heard that if its bright red with clots and cramps than you should worry but i'm still concerned. I took 2 more pregnancy tests this am and BFP on both so that relieved me a bit.

Itlyncutie- when you get your test results ask about the spotting. I know a lot of women get it around the time they should get a period but it doesn't hurt to check.

kymb- keep your head up girl. Your on the right track. I hear lots of success stories of girls on here getting pregnant with clomid. Do you ovulate on your own?

Your symptoms sound promising SSBD! Gas was one of my symptoms this month...and my boobs still don't hurt so dont worry everyone is different.

ashort

Jan 14, 2008

Some people spot. I would ask your doctor but it should be okay. If it turns red I would defintaly call your doctor. Spotting is common in pregnancy....CONGRATS girls!

Itlyncutie87

Jan 14, 2008

thank you everyone I will def. ask about the spotting!
there was just a little last night and there is nothing now, but I will still ask.

aweeonetolove

Jan 14, 2008

ashort - I would love to switch with you!! Agh, timing can be such a b****!  I'm sorry to hear about the difficulty of going to the baby shower.  It's just darned difficult cause life's a B**** sometimes.  But yeah, if we could switch 'o' - I most definitely would.  p.s. I'm sorry to hear about the sinus infection - they're brutal. I had one as a teenager and I still grind my teeth as a result.  Yuck!  Take care and feel better soon.

lytn - The spotting could be implantation bleeding.  Many women spot and go on to have safe and successful pregnancies.  But I would mention it to your Dr. Good luck with the bood work!

ad_06 - From  your temp pattern, it looks like you o'ed on CD16, although it could possibly be CD15, if you take your CM into account.  I don't think it would be any earlier b/c your cervical position is low on CD14.  I usually o on CD13 but I have had some charts where I am a day earlier or later. Good luck!

lamb - Spotting can be normal in early pregnancy but you still want to talk to your DR. about it.  You would be early on and it could be implantation bleeding - As the wee cells implant in your lining, old bloods sloughs off and expels itself.  I am sure that is all it is.  Good luck!

p.s. - All you BFP spotters.  You can, I think, ask your Dr. to monitor your HCG levels if you are concerned.  These double ever 48-72 hours.

Good luck to everyone!

Yeah, I'm pissed that it takes me so long to o. The past 2 months it has been CD19. I'm going to do it right this month though. I'm going to buy the smiley OPK's to eliminate any questions I may have. I usually buy the answer brand but I find them to hard to read. I will make sure we bd on CD19 no matter what. Can you postpone your trip? Right now I'm debating callling my RE about the HSG but I don't want to sound crazy. This is really only our 5th month trying. Then again who cares if they think I'm crazy LOL...I haven't been there since the beginning of Dec. I took last month off.

aweeonetolove

Jan 14, 2008

I've never done an HSG or anything of the sort. I have a fertility specialist that I saw last year but she was teaching me methods of fertility awareness for birth control. While she was doing that, we noticed some problems in my charts. I stopped seeing her along the way, we shifted our attention and if problems persist - I was planning on seeing someone near the end of this year. I know you're supposed to wait until you've had problems for at least 12 months but if your Dr will see you - Why not!?! And exactly, who cares if they think you are crazy!

torismommy

Jan 14, 2008

ashort- I am getting an HSG done if this cycle doesn't work. I am clomid and this is my 3rd month of TTC. I know with a perfectly healthy couple it can take up to a year to concieve (conceive) but I already of one problem and that is I am not ovulating. Since i know this I don't want to take these drugs to ovulate but my darn tubes be blocked. That would totally be a waste of time and MONEY. So I am trying to eliminate all of the problems right away so I can move forward. If you feel like this is something you need to do then discuss this with your doctor and schedule it.

ashort

Jan 14, 2008

LOL...yeah that's what I thought so I called anyway. If they want me to wait then I will wait. The receptionist said she will have a nurse call me back. I'm just so impatient. Last month I had an "I don't care" attitude thinking if I didn't think about it then it would maybe happen. Hey, that's what we hear all the time. I just keep hearing that if you have an HSG it ups your chances of getting a BFP b/c it clears out your tubes. Oh and the n.p. told me that if I didn't get preg. in Nov. (second month on Clomid) then I should have one done. So we'll see....

Itlyncutie87

Jan 14, 2008

well ladies i just want you to all know that i am 100% pregnant!

Itlyncutie87

Jan 14, 2008

thank you everyone!
I am so happy!
And best of luck to everyone that is still waiting!
This will be your month or next month!
I have my first appointment next week!

ashort

Jan 14, 2008

toris- I called them and I'm waiting for a nurse to call me back. I was on clomid 2 mos. and I know I o'ed both of those months. Last months I o'ed with out it...so one problem solved. I feel the same way you do. It's a waste of time to take the clomid if your tubes are blocked. I really figrured before I was given the clomid they should of checked that but they didn't sooooooo....better late then never. The clomid seemed to jumpstart my system. All I keep thinking is that it their has to be some reason why I'm not getting preg. and that is my guess....I'm wondering if a m/c can cause scar tissue that can block your tubes, any ideas??

I agree with you we need an updated list! I love that list...great idea Ashleigh!

torismommy

Jan 14, 2008

I totally agree with you as far as checking before putting you on the medicine. I went in for a pre-conception visit and I don't know if my doctor was trying to rush me out because i was the last appointment but it wasn't done and so now I am sitting here wonderin what else could be going wrong. If AF shows on Saturday i am scheduling that baby on Monday. Plus you need to do it within a certain time frame in your cycle as to not hinder ovulation and all that good stuff.

ashort

Jan 14, 2008

Today is CD7 for me. I spoke to the nurse and she said she will ask my RE what he thinks. She said that they will call me back tomorrow. She said that it will probably have to be next cycle. She said he might want me to do one more month of the clomid or injectibles. I really don't want to do any of that though b/c I'm o'ing on my own. Not sure why I would have to do that if I am o'ing on my own? Let's just clear out the tubes and move on with it. Geez if I have to do another round of clomid then the HSG I should be preg. by June...LOL...feels like forever...haha. I also felt the same way, I hear a lot of people say that they did the HSG before their RE would put them on clomid. I think you and I slipped through the cracks. Did you RE test your dh's sperm? Mine DH hasn't had that done either.

torismommy

Jan 14, 2008

Nope DH's sperm is getting tested this cycle as well if I don't get preggo. I have already been referred I am just waiting to see what happens this week before I go ahead and schedule his appointment. I guess since we know ourselves best, with each month we move towards upping the chances by doing other things which may help. God I hope I don't have to do it but I don't think this is my cycle.

ashort

Jan 14, 2008

I hope this is your month! How long have you been trying? Sorry with so many people on here it's hard to keep track of everybody. MY DH's sperm hasn't been tested either. He is starting to get upset that this isn't working so at this point I think DH would gladly take one for the team...LOL

torismommy

Jan 14, 2008

Its okay. It seems like we get new additions everyday. This is my third month. My doc immediately put me on clomid because she thought that me not ovulating would pose as a problem. However, it is drying me out. I don't get ewcm so I don't know if I need a post-coital done as well. That would be just great if I was too hostile for dh's sperm. DH is very willing to take the SA( I think so he can show me that his soldiers are prepared and ready for battle). Its so funny because while women have more conception issues men don't like to face when it may be something due to them. I guess now they can see where us women are coming from.

hi wannabamommy
it's very rare i ovulate on my own, i could go 6 months getting periods on time then they just stop i've done 6 months of clomid on a break at the moment, i'm trying the herbal supplements.
i've a good feeling about this year all i can do is keep positive, i'm really delighted for all the girls who've become pregnant really does give that little bit of hope to me xxx

ashort

Jan 14, 2008

My DH is completely against IUI which right now I don't think that's something we need to do...but who knows b/c this isn't working....

He will get his sperm tested. He thinks it's me though...which is funny b/c they haven't really found anything wrong with me. I know what you mean about clomid drying you out. It did the same thing to me. Last month was the first month I can honestly say I had definate EWCM and that was the month I didn't take the clomid. DH complained the month before about that. I just ordered preseed which is supposed to help with that and it's cheap so hey, why not?

wannabamommy

Jan 14, 2008

Hey girls. I booked a doctor's appt for wed for a checkup and blood test!!! Yay! I suprised DH this morning with the news! Gave him a box and on each flap I put a number on the outside and on the inside I wrote a little message till the last flap was a postive preg test:) and a rattle in the box....he totally didn't get it at first haha he was soo sleepy but I couldn't wait any longer. His jaw dropped when I finally put the pieces together for him. I am still feeling nauseated at times and my abd feels tight. I am assuming thats the ligaments stretching.

Well Im 14dpo, no new symptoms. AF is due tomorrow or wednesday. No signs of the B*TCH but of course that is normal for me.

Congrats again to the BFP's!!!! Im so jealous but if not this month then next month will be my month!!!!!

ashort

Jan 14, 2008

I know how you feel. I tested the day I got AF. What a waste of money. I actually called out of work sick today I thought I had a sinus infection but they think I have strep so I spent my whole day buying preseed and while I was at CVS I bought some smiley face OPK's. What day post o do you usually get af?

ad_06

Jan 14, 2008

not really any new symptoms here!!! This sucks! I want mega super BFP symptoms!!! I don't see me getting a BFP, but I am trying to be positive about this whole thing!! Good Luck to us 3 left!!!! Hopefully we are BFPers!!! I don't know when to test though....Kinda scared of a BFN!!

aweeonetolove - I messed up.... I meant to put high and soft....but we BD on CD 16 too...so maybe we are covered! Thanks for you opinion :)

lamb18

Jan 14, 2008

Well ladies... I am glad to see that everyone is doing great!

My brown spotting stopped lastnight. And I havn't had anything since! I am so glad that it stopped. I am still experiencing little tiny cramping sessions here and there. Yeah, I think it was implantation bleeding... considering I am so early! I am glad that it what it was! LOL.

I have a doctors appointment tomorrow at 9:30 before class. I will try to hop on here and let you ladies know what the doctor says. If I dont make it earlier, I will get on afterwards.

As far as my symptoms go.... EXTREME FATIGUE, sore bbs, irritability, FREQUENT URINATION and I mean like every hour!!!! I am still getting some slight cramps, but thats probably just the last tad of implantation. I am also really bloated!

Ashleighnb- I cant wait to find out what the results of your test are. You're doing good though... at 14dpo and havnt cracked yet. I cracked at 10dpo... lol.

I wish everyone the best of luck!

Itlyncutie87

Jan 15, 2008

lamb18-I'm having the spitting as you. And it stopped too last night. I was scared at first but it's over with I hope. My bbs still hurt and I feel really Nausea. It's hard to eat when you feel like ****.

And I have my first appointment next Thursday so I will let everyone know how that goes.

wannabamommy

Jan 15, 2008

Hi girls how is everyone. I just want to wish the rest of you waiting to test good luck and SSBD! I hope the last of you all get BFP's!!! I feel great this morning, much better than last night. I was pretty nauseated and tired last evening as well as nauseated throughout the day. I don't really have any cramping since last wed but I do get little twinges of pain on either side and my abd and below my sternum feels tight. I have a lot of gas and bloated a bit and I'm still lightly spotting lt. tan. It's just a little bit on my liner but I hope it stops soon. Other than that things are great I'm really praying hard this is a healthy pregnancy. Lamb and Itly those are great symptoms. How about you other BFP girls...any more symptoms?

torismommy

Jan 15, 2008

That is good to here wannabe. I am just waiting for these few days to pass. I should know something by tomorrows temp. I hope the last three do get BFP's. If not I know we have quite a lot of women rooting us on in the next month.

aweeonetolove

Jan 15, 2008

All your BFP symptoms sounds great.
And for the three ladies waiting - I hope it goes well for you this month. It would be absolutely amazing to see more BFP's. But torismommy is absolutely correct, if not, you got lots of ladies rooting for you next month! Good luck and I can't wait to hear!

torismommy

Jan 15, 2008

Thanks so much aweeone. Shouldn't you be ovulating soon?

ashleighnb

Jan 15, 2008

Well I have made through half the day without AF showing up. In the next day and half I will know my fate!!! LOL! I got my fingers crossed and I am praying that AF doesn't come. But you girls are right, if not this month then next.

How is everyone else who got their BFP's? Has ne one else had their first appointment yet? How did it go?

So, there are 5 ladies left to get thier BFP's right? I know it will be soon. You ladies have been here for me so you're dam straight I am going to be on here annoying you all. LOL. I wish everyone luck!

tori- I'm due to ovulate this Friday, unfortunately I'm going to be away from my guy for a short gig. It sucks. This happens so often. Sometimes I hate my career b/c it takes me away from home way too much! I'll also be away from April - June! And there's talk about a small job in February. If it's not my own body saying screw ttc it's my f'ing job! Oh well, them's the breaks.

well my gyno called today and the blood that they took yesterday and said my hormones are kinda low. Is that a bad thing? And they want me to get more blood taken thursday. I'm so scared I'm going to have a miscarriage :-/

ashleighnb

Jan 15, 2008

Sorry to hear that Itlyncutie. Low horomones doesn't always mean miscarriage. You are probably just really early so you don't have a lot of HCG yet. What was the number? Also you might have concieved later that you thought and the gestational age could be younger as well. Im sure everything is fine and your horomone will be normal next time. Keep us posted!!

Itlyncutie87

Jan 15, 2008

I don't know what the level was she didn't say. But they called in a proscription so I have to go pick it up now. I'm just worried over nothing I hope. Thank for your support, and I will def. keep everyone posted.

hey ladies, thought I would check in. Im doin alright, i havent had a doc appointment yet....my hubby is in the AF, so i had to go to the base clinic yesterday so they can confirm my pregnancy and refer me to an OB/GYN....they did confirm with a urine test...but they said its was a high quality positive, lol...does anyone knopw what that means??? lol.......so anywayz, kinda wanted to wait until i could see a heartbeat via ultrasound before I go to the doctor...I really dont wanna freak myself out!!!! I hope everyone else is doing good...

ad_06

Jan 15, 2008

well I think that b*tch is going to show her face!! I might be wrong, but I seriously don't think this is my month! I am on CD 26...I'm either 10 or 12 DPO....my temps are still up, but usually when AF is going to come I get kind of achy down there if you know what I mean. Here within the past hour I have been kind of achy...so I guess I'm not going to test atleast until the weekend! I'll wait and see if I have a temperature shift, usually it will drop the same day or the day before AF shows up... I'll keep everyone posted.Congrats to all of the BFPers and Good Luck to the rest in the 2ww!

ashleighnb

Jan 15, 2008

Well the day is almost over and no AF. One day down and one to go before I will test!!!! Im kind of getting excited but dont want to look too much into it yet. My mom asked me if I was nesting or something because I have been non-stop for the past two days. She said that after I found out I was preggo last time and I started cleaning everything and couldn't sit still. I hope that is a good sign!! My bbs are slightly sore again too!

ziggy - they didn't tell you what high quality positive means. When I read your post I was like what the hell it that?? LOL

ad_06 - don't give up yet, your still in the running until AF is full force. Hopefull you temps don't drop. Good luck girly!!

lamb18

Jan 15, 2008

Ashleigh your sore bbs sound great LOL. I really hope you get your BFP! Good luck! I am kind of going through the same thing right now... with the non-stop ness. DF says I need to relax and take it easy. LOL.

ad_ 06- I was really achy and crampy down there too right before I got my BFP! I hope you get yours too!

Ziggy- Maybe high quality positive meant that it was really dark and visible! Like there was no mistaking it. LOL. I took my last HPT this morning and there was no mistaking that one. It is so weird.... compared to my last one... the line was barely there and in a matter of 4 days it became DARK. lol.

I had my first wave of nausea this morning. I have also been crying a lot. This is funny- I walked in from class this afternoon and DF was cleaning. He was busy and didn't really say much to me and I started crying. LOL.

Now I see the importance of quitting smoking before you concieve (conceive). It is hard to quit cold turkey! I have been doing good though! I have had 1 at the most a day lately. I will be done soon and that makes me feel great. Knowing that I am stopping that disgusting habit for two great reasons... my own health and my childs health.

Well, this fatigue has taken me over. I will be back tomorrow. Good luck everyone still in the 2WW!

Thanks girls! Temps are still high 98.7!! I am on CD 27 and I don't know when to test.....My Dr. said tht with clomid AF would be here in 28 -34 days, should I test aound CD 29 -30...with a 5 day sooner test? Good Luck Ashleigh I hope you get your BFP! Eveyone keep your fingers crossed for us still in the wait :) please

Jan 16, 2008

Hey ladies how is everyone? Sore bbs this morning and frequent urination!! I never thought I would be so excited to feel like sh*t!! LOL!!!

ad_06 - my temp is still up today too!!! yesterday it was 97.73 and today 97.88 so they are actually rising instead of dropping. I thought AF was destined to be here a few days ago because my temps dropped to 97.2 and for me that usually means AF. I am still waiting until Saturday to test because I have been a little stressed lately so I just want to make sure that its not the stress delaying AF. Good luck to you too!!! I hope we get our BFPs!!!

I went to my RE on monday, I told him I took 2 HPTs and they came out positive and I guess he believed me. he did not ask for a retest, he just congratulated me and asked me to meet on jan 30 for the U/S. I still dont have any feeling and am just waiting and waiting for 30th jan. all the best to all you lovely ladies.

Kurvi- You're lucky.... my doctor wont even consider an ultrasound until your 20 weeks, unless there is something wrong. So, you dont have any symptoms? Oh trust me... I am sure they will come. LOL. I am peeing all the time. I woke up lastnight with bladder cramping bc I had to pee so bad. And I had already woken up 3 times lastnight to pee. This is crazy! LOL. But its for a good cause.

Ashleigh- You're getting so close to your BFP!!! I can't believe that you have been able to hold off and not test this far. LOL. You are definitely a strong woman!

Torismommy- When do you plan on testing? Are you going to do it this weekend with Ashleigh? That would be awesome! Do you have any symptoms?

ad_06- Same to you... When do you plan on testing? HOw are you feeling this morning? Hopefully you have some big BFP symptoms!

Aweeonetolove and Ashort- When do you ladies expect to Ovulate? Are you both using OPK's? I really hope this will be it for you ladies! You both deserve this so much!! I am rooting for you!

Well, I have to go get ready to go to class. I will be back later. Good luck and tell AF to stay the hell away!

My temps didn't go down but I woke up early and tossed and turned so I think that affected my reading. If I see that my temp remains the same tomorrow (which I doubt it will) I am going to probably test on Friday. I am getting so nervous. I guess the good thing about this is that if this cycle is a bust I get to have my HSG done and my DH's SA. I am trying to look at the brighter side of things. They say conception is increased a little right after you have an HSG.

ashleigh- everything looks and sounds good on your end. Stay away you old hag.

itly- So sorry that you recieved that news but just like ash said you may have a younger bean than you thought.

ad_06-so glad the temps stayed up.

hello all,
your symptoms all sound great!  In answer to questions, I ovulate soon!  I don't OPK but I do temp and check for CM.  I pretty much always ovulate on CD13 and all the signs are there for me to be ovulating this Friday.  Unfortunately, I leave tonight for a gig out of town and won't be home till late Saturday.  So I'm out this month.  It sucks!  After this month, I only have Feb. and March to give it a shot b/c then I've got gigs lined up all the way until June and now it's looking like I'll be away until August!  So much for ttc!  Sometimes I hate my career.  Anyways, I'll keep checking in to see how you ladies are doing.  I want to hear all the great details.

ashleigh - do you normally temp?  maybe i've already asked you this?  but your af won't be delayed b/c of stress, ONLY your O can be delayed b/c of stress.  Pretty much everyone (unless you're a freak like me) has a standard luteal phase.  And if you make it to 18dpo - that's pretty much a good sign that you're preggo!  So I'm rooting for you!

toris - I hope that your temps stay up!  I'm getting nervous for you  - you're getting so close now.  What exactly is an HSG, I've read lots of good things about it on this forum but don't really understand what it is.  If this isn't your cycle, I hope the HSG kicks a** next cycle!

ad_06- yeah! for temperatures staying up.

ltlyn - keep us updated! like the ladies said, your levels might be low b/c you detected pregnancy early on.

aweeone - This cycle I started temping on CD10, like I did last cycle because I was temping religiously for a few cycles so I know what my pattern is and so I start temping on CD10 just as I would if I were doing OPK's. I detected O on CD16 - CD 17 and at 11dpo my temp started falling like it always does. At 13dpo it dropped to 97.23 and I just knew AF was coming usually it never comes back up after that. But then CD14 it went up to 97.73 and same thing yesterday (CD15-which is usually AF day) and today on CD16 it was 97.88!! My coverline is 97.19. I hope this is a good sign!!!

It sounds like a great sign! Many BFP's do experience a dip in their temps, both implantation dips and slight dips around when af is due. When I'm near the tww end I always stalk other charts online to compare them to my own. I've seen these dips on many others. Anyways, if you post ovulation temps are staying up longer - past when AF is due - that's an awesome sign. Especially if they are rising! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! Good luck. I can't wait to hear the news!

Yes ashleigh I'm with lamb test tomorrow am. I'm excited to find out.

aweeone- don't give up this cycle. BD before you leave and when you get back. Remember sperm can live for 5-7 days near the cervix. Still give it a try.

ad_06- you symptoms look promising too.

toris- are you going to test tomorrow am too?

Well girls I went to the doctors today and he figured out my due date. September 15th and I'm in my 5week. I'm soo excited. I have a lot of pressure in my back/kidney area and around the front...I think it's gas pressure god knows I'm bloated like hell. Pretty nauseated right now. My spotting seems to be tapering off...more of a yellow color now. The doctor wants me to take it easy for a few days...kinda made me nervous. I just want this baby soo bad I pray every day that everything goes well and the little bean is developing normally. I got my blood drawn and urine sample today....the lab tech was like "oh don't worry it's not as much blood as it looks." Yeah right she took 6 vials...I had to close my eyes. I go soo queesy I thought I was going to end up on the floor. I am a nurse and blood doesn't generally bother me except getting my own blood drawn and watching it fill the vial...yuck!

Hi girls!  I'm glad to hear all the girls with the BFP are doing well!!!

Ashleigh...Test, please!!!  Your symptoms sound great!

Lamb- I think I'm going to o on the 26th but that's only speculation.  The past 2 months I have o'ed on CD19, which is the 26th.  I'm taking antibiotics b/c I think I have a sinus infection.  My strep test came out negative so that's what I'm guessing it is.  Well today I had EWCM weird...don't know if it has anything to do with the antibiotics but I'm thinking about bd just in case.  I know antibiotics can cause yeast infections but that's never happened to me before and I'm not in any pain...HMMMMM...  Your doctor doesn't give you a sono until your 20 weeks?  I just read that usually they do one to see the baby's HB.

Forgot to mention that my bd drive is up too...the past 2 days...could I be o'ing on CD 9? I remember last Jan I had a 21 day cycle...which was really weird...this is so strange. I have OPK's if I could hold my urine for 3 hours I would take on LOL>>>

Jan 16, 2008

Well my symptoms are pretty much the same, I just wish I'd have super duper sore bbs!!! That was a definite sign with my last pregnancy...I don't know when to test....I guess if my temp doesn't drop by Friday morning I will buy a test and take it Saturday morning that would make me on CD 30... I don't think this is a BFP month for me, but I gotta hope :) I still have a lot of creamy CM...I kept thinking all day that I had started! I don't remember having this much CM right before AF is suppose to come. I have been urinating more too..BBs still feel heavy and are very slightly tender (not much) I've been a bit hungrier too..and I have been really tired!!! Who knows!!! This wait is driving me crazy! I'm so afraid that I will get a BFN. Well I will test Saturday, if my temp doesn't drop...

Good Luck Ashleigh and Toris!! I hope we all get our BFPs!!!

I got my fingers crossed for ya asheighnb!!

I called to make a OB/GYN appiontment. They don't see girls till they are 10 weeks!! (seems like forever!) They don't u/s til 20 weeks, but since I'll be 35yo at delivery I'm going to Pittsburgh for an NT scan on March 7th(11wkd 3days) so I'll get to see him or her then!

I'm feelin pretty good except my bbs hurt so bad I have to sleep with a sports bra on. a lil nauseous but not bad.

It looks like TTC Friends # 3 is soon to come.
