[bam1014]

FANTASTIC - I love it!!!  See how much fun I have every Saturday morning?

(Is it just me or is MH running PAINFULLY slow!!)

[GMB08]

its running slow! great job on thread!

[mikaleen]

I love being able to copy and paste =)  Yeah, Bam, I bet you can't wait for Saturday's.  I would never get enough time alone to do it on a weekend.  The other night I was catching up and I was logging off when DH came over.  He says "Oh, what are you looking at that you closed up so fast"  I told him he was more than welcome to see if he really wants to know when everyone is ovulating.  He walked away pretty quick. =)

[bam1014]

With the onslaught of all the newbies -WELCOME- , I'm going to have to figure out a better way of doing this :)

Queenspade/Jenn would like to join us as well.  She is 3DPO.

LOL - DH just rolls his eyes when he sees me on MH!

[smr08]

Aileen- great job! I can only imagine what i'd do to the list!!

Bridgette- V-E-R-Y S-L-O-W.

Jen- Welcome to the Blabber Fest!

I hide out on DD's computer, you get no privacy in my house!

[peterjl]

Well, I don't think I'll need to test.  I've been having a lot of cramping and started spotting.  So,  I'll probrably have to take progesterone to get me back on a normal cycle for the  next month as well.  Gotta love PCOS.

[LadyM84]

hi mikaleen thanks for adding me to the list :) i tested today BFN ' but thats ok cause i'm hoping i ovd a day later than it ses on my chart ,i'm new to all this ive never really paid attention to my cycle before i was on the injection for 6 years so i'm thinking i'm just gunna wait a little longer to see if af decides to show (hope not ) but i will keep you all updated x take care all

[LadyM84]

hi Lori any sign of af yet ?? x

[smr08]

Hi Lisa! Nothing yet. I'm testing tomorrow (or some of the ladies here are gonna hunt me down, no names) LOL.

[queenspade]

Thank You!!!  I usually just read and don't post to much, but this thread seemed like way to much fun!!

I think I am actually 7DPO  ???

[queenspade]

Thank you for adding me!!

[bam1014]

queenspade - sorry I got the DPO wrong.  Welcome.  With all the stress of TTC we all need a little levity in our lives.  Besides who else would remind Lori when it's time to test (and not give her a moments peace until she does) - LOL

[hazleyez]

Yes I am keeping busy and Can`t wait for Valenitnes Day :0) Im Hoping for a BFP this month and for all my lovely ladies on here hoping too. STICKY BABY DUST TO EVERYONE ~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[ArmyPrincess819]

Okay i love games so here is the ZODIAC game? What is your sign?

I'm a LEO....I'm a proud lioness.

[queenspade]

I am a SCORPIO!!!

[ArmyPrincess819]

To all of my girls I hope everyone of you enjoy your V-day and the ones in bootcamp get their Bfps and the girls waiting to test I hope it's pos!

Hugs to you all
AP/Jenny/LEO.....

Bam- Awesome job with the list and welcoming the newbies. Thanks. Ps how was DH's bday? My honey got a nice welcome in labor in delivery....Poor guy but he's a trooper he doesn't complain nothing but support! I will ttyl..Big hugs!

Lori- Best wishes to you and let me know what happens!

[smr08]

Jenny- I'm Virgo the Virgin (imagine that!!) I will say a prayer for your mom.How are you feeling? (((hugs)))

Bridgette- HA-HA

Jenn- See what I have to go through here!

[EricaB28]

Jenny-- I'm a pisces :)

So, it's CD 42 and still no AF. I will test again but only after CD 50, I made a promise to DH. He hates to see how disappointed I get, especially if I'm testing too early. That's only 8 days away though!!  Hope everyone is doing well! OMG!! DD is sitting next to me, bouncing on the couch and I think I might puke if she doesn't stop!! Holy! I wish I had that much energy! OH and the smell of peanut butter....gross...

[EricaB28]

Aileen-- Thanks for the new thread! You did fantastic! :D Like I said, I WILL test again, but only after CD 50. I want to make sure I missed AF before I test again.

[mikaleen]

I must be the most unbalanced Libra on the planet.  
Erica - All DD will eat for lunch is a PB sandwich...I feel like I'm gonna hurl every time I open the jar.

[EricaB28]

DD is completely obsessed!! I really can't get her to eat anything else...and the center where I work and she goes to daycare is peanut free, so, it's usually only a weekend food. I figured she can get a bath tonight and we'll brush her teeth, like, 10 times before tomorrow morning and we should be fine. I just get paranoid about PB because I'm the cook at the center so it would look really bad if my kid was the one to cause another to go into anaphylactic shock because I gave her PB. I really can't stand the smell today!!

[bam1014]

I'm an Aquarius and I love peanut butter!

Hang in there Erica.  Do think if your cycles continue to be so long you'll talk to your dr?

[ArmyPrincess819]

Thanks girls.....

[hazleyez]

Im a Cancer ...Cancer - The Sign of the Crab haha

but realy im loving and nice.. not a CRAB!!!!

Jenny your boot camp is the best lol and I am hoping to get my BFP this month. :0) me and steph are in it together :0) praying for lots of BFP this month....

[steph9803]

Wow am I the only Cancer here? If you can't tell by my extreme emotions LOL It's good to see all of the newbies. I wish you all lots of luck!

Has anyone gone past the sixth month of ttc and realized how fast time flies? I can't believe we have been at this for over a half a year with no BFP. I know it's coming soon though :D

[steph9803]

Hehe...I was writing that when you posted that Amanda. Well I'm glad I'm not alone there =P  Now let's get some BFP's!!!

[EricaB28]

Bam-- I have to get my provincial coverage back(I let it expire), but then, yes, I probably will. The only thing I don't want them to do is put me on b/c to regulate my cycles. I've invested so much time in ttc, I don't want to stop trying now. I was on the pill from the time I was 12 to regulate(only had 2 periods a year) and the only way I ever did regulate was after I had DD. Now everything's all messed up again. Is there anything that you know of that can help regulate you naturally?

[hazleyez]

lol to funny steph I was going to write just about teh same thing as I seen your post... yes we gotta get the BFP sign this month. lets go hahaha

[EricaB28]

So, I was just uploading some more photos and I just started to cry. I loaded a bunch from when Lily was really young and it just made me miss that tiny baby stage (ok, she looked like a little old man, but she was still cute!!) I just want to get a BFP soon!! I probably shouldn't have looked at so many photos...it's just that she's such a great kid, always has been, so that's just encouraged me to want another one that much more! I'm rambling, I know....Sorry! :P

[smr08]

Erica, i'm still praying for you, I really hope you get a BFP like now!!

PS. I love PB! I just ate like a half a jar with pretzels lastnight :)

                         Lori

[ArmyPrincess819]

Bam- LOL....

Amanda- I love my Boot(y) Camp. I stand by my Camp it works..I hope you get your BFP

Ladies I stand by my Camp....Everyday ladies.......I wish you all a Bfp..

Hugs,
AP/Jenny/Leo/Italian subs w/ everything hold the mayo....toasted   .LOL

[smr08]

Jenny- So now we're doing a favorite food thing??? This keeps getting better!

smr08/Lori/Virgo (the virgin)/ any Italian dish

[hazleyez]

I am standing by it Jenny 100% and praying it will get me my BFP this month :0)

Hazleyez/Amanda/Caner/Lebanese Cuisine mmm yummy

[Tiger63]

Hi, Ladies. i hope evryone is doing well. As you may know there are bad bush fires in Australia at the moment. They are all through the state of victoria where i live. i'm lucky that they are 90 minutes away. The smoke is unbearable making it difficult to breathe. My internet was down due to problems caused by the fires.

Mik: evrything with me is going ok. Just stressed about these fires as they are close to my friends and family. The smkoe is making me feel really sick too!

Good luck to everyone TTC and congrats to any new mums to be that i have missed!

[Latrice414]

Im a Gemini and i have 2 personalities, well since im preggo i have about 10 now lol.

Mikaleen: Just when i thought i was feeling better, i started getting sick again, now im battleing drive heaves and major headaches:(

I hope everyone is doing well, and cant wait to see more BFP's after V-Day:)

[kgokgo]

I'm a virgo and I like any seafood dishes. Oh, I also like PB on toast cut into little triangles, yum yum. Both of my children think PB is gross!

Latrice-sorry you are not well, the time will pass and you'll be as right as rain in no time.

AP-I'm praying that things will settle for you. One day at a time, right?

Lori-I'm taking DD to a music workshop this afternoon and I'm taking my laptop with me, I don't want to miss the news.

Maria- congratulations!! It had been a few weeks since we last celebrated. Let the bfps roll.

SSBD everyone.

[steph9803]

CD17 and my bbs are a little bit sore. I hope and pray that this is it :D I have a good feeling again and I hope I'm right this time. We go through a giant jar of PB in a week or two in my house! They eat it on celery, graham crackers, toast, milkshakes, cookies...just about anything you could think of :)

Lori- I ran to the computer to see if you were on yet...I've got my fingers crossed for you!!!
Tiger- I'm so sorry...The last thing you need is more stress. I know I keep hearing them talk about Victoria b/c that is my daughter's name so I hear every time they say it on the news. I will say a prayer for you and your family that the fires will be stopped soon.
Latrice- I hope you get to feeling better soon. I get sick so easily that I say I should live in a bubble sometimes..LOL Then you add that with a weakened immune system due to pregnancy and it really stinks.

[smr08]

Well I got up this morning after hardly sleeping and did the CB digi that I had from last time, Not Pregnant again!! Still no AF or signs, i'm so confused!! I have never been this late. I don't know if I should get another test (different brand) or what. This one had nothing on it about hcg levels, I know that the one at $ Tree says 25 but I also hear about people getting false results. Do you think that I should give it a try??? I was really hoping that this was it. I thank all of you for standing by me and I wish that I had happier news. Any helpful advice????

                             (((hugs))) Lori

[bam1014]

Good morning ladies!

What no Lori - is she still in her bathroom?!  In Shock - I HOPE!!

Jenny - One day at a a time.  I will be saying prayers for your mom today.

Latrice - sorry you're not feeling well, but you'll be on to your 2nd tri-mester soon enough!  Good luck with you u/s on Friday!

Tiger - are the fires almost out?

Steph - SSBD - are you still BD'ing just to be on the safe side?

Lori - ?????????

bam/bridgette/aquarius/99% of everything that my husband cooks

[bam1014]

Lori, did you take the test appart?  I know they say you're not supposed to, but what the hay?

Is there a possibility that you O'd late?

[mikaleen]

Lori...I thought for sure you were going to get a BFP today.  Your 5 days late now?  I won't harass you to test anymore...but if you wanted o try a different test the FRER is supposed to pick up lower levels.  I still don't like the $ store, but for a buck you can always give it a go.  I'm sorry you didn't have good news to shout at us this morning.

Mikaleen/Aileen/Libra/carniverous steak eater/POASaholic

[smr08]

Bridgette- at the bottom of the test stick there is a rectangle window with a blue line??? I had ewcm on cd15 or 16 and a few O cramps. I'm so confused!! I was gonna stop at the $ store and get another test, I know that one has a hcg level of 25, What do you think? Should I give it a few more days? HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                      Lori

[steph9803]

Lori- :( I think you should try another test...it can't hurt. I don't know why you would be late out nowhere. Although if you are pregnant it could be that implantation happened late and that's why your levels aren't up there yet. I hope that you get your BFP still, but if not I hope AF shows up sooner rather than later so you don't stay in this limbo much longer. *hugs*
Aileen- I'm right there with you...I love me some steak =P As a matter of fact DH is grilling some steaks for dinner tonight. I also forgot to say yesterday that you did an awsome job on the list.
bam- We BD'd again this morning and plan on continuing until at least CD22. I have read that morning swimmers are best. I'm trying everything possible this month so I hopefully will be able to change my March 11 appt. to a prenatal visit :D

[smr08]

Aileen- Thanks for standing by me. I was kinda leaning towards a positive also, I tried not to get my hopes up but being this late I couldn't help it. I may just pick up a $ store one for the heck of it, I can spare the buck LOL. I'm gonna try and hold my pee for awhile and test this afternoon ( I am def becoming a POAS"aholic) If it's still negative I'm gonna wait it out, so I say!

                       Lori

[bam1014]

Lori - I agree with Steph.  HCG only starts after implantation, which should occur around 7-12 DPO.  So either you O'd late or implantated late.  I know how frustrated you must be!  Pre-m/c, when I wasn't tracking my O date, I would be a week late every 3 months and all NOT pregnant.  I'm really sorry you're going through this.  As if TTC weren't hard enough!!  I've never taken apart a CB digi (the thought never occured to me before).  Do you just see the control line?

Steph/Aileen - I'm a carnivoire as well!  DH made bacon wrapped tenderloin for my B-Day :)

Steph - you KEEP BD'ing!!  Yes, I just read the other day that morning swimmers are better - I wonder why?

[Dani711]

Just checking in real quick...I miss you guys, but my computer is actually being used for work while we are here...anyway, Lori, the best of luck to you.  Wow five days late...torture.  I will check in later to see what is going on.

Oh, step...I am a Cancer... 7-11-77 ...when is your birthday?  I guess my baby will be a Cancer too?  July 29th?

Everyone else, hello and I have to run, my stepmom was admitted to the hospital yesterday and is going to be staying there for a little while, so we are going to go see her before we go to the fairgrounds!

BEST OF LUCK EVERYONE...I may not be on here much right now but always praying that when I check in there are some BFP'S!!!

[smr08]

Steph- Thanks, your so sweet! I hope to find out one way or the other REAL soon. I may test again this afternoon(POAS'aholic) The last time I was pregnant I got my BFP 5 days after AF was due. This is gonna drive me nuts! I'm saying a prayer for you that you get your BFP ASAP! One of on here has to! LOL

                        Lori

[kgokgo]

Lori-sorry you got a bfn but as long as af is not there then there is hope. Last year I got a bfp at 51/2 weeks. Don't give up yet. I think trying a different brand won't hurt. I still have  everything crossed for you. I'm going back into DD's workshop now. Good luck.

[smr08]

Thanks Niki! I don't want to give up either. Enjoy the worhshop!

                       Lori

[GMB08]

lori..dont give up.........there are many stories where woman do not ge their bfp until way late..........im pulling for you hun!

[steph9803]

bam- That sounds yummy :D I don't know why it is that they are supposed to be stronger in the morning?
Dani- DH's b-day is 6-22 and mine is 6-23..I didn't know you were a Cancer. I think if your baby is born a week early he/she will be a Cancer too. I will be praying for your stepmom and the rest of your family.
Lori- Sometimes I get a little discouraged, but I never give up until AF has officially shown. So I still have hope for your Feb. BFP!

[hazleyez]

Hey steph mu B-day is 6-24  :0)

[steph9803]

Amanda- That's my mom's b-day :D  DH's brother's is 6-17, my best friends is 6-15, my aunt's is 6-27, my sister's is 6-28...There's too many to keep going LOL And my sister's baby is due on my b-day! It sure is a busy month. I just hope to be big and pregnant for my b-day this year :P

[StephNP09]

Hey all! I just got a BFP early this week (after m/c this past Nov). My DH and I are super excited, but I am really nervous at the same time. For those of you pregnant after m/c, how do you keep from being so nervous during the pregnancy (esp the 1st trimester). My hcg was 83 yesterday and progesterone 26. I'm going tomorrow to have another hcg. I just get scared with every little twinge, pain, etc. Any advice, suggestions, etc? Thanks!

[smr08]

Hi All, Well here was my day... Held my pee for 5 hours (ouch!), went to the mall and saw 1,000,000 pregnant ladies(double ouch!)went to the $ store saw 2 more(OMG!) came home PIAC... BFN!!!!!!!! I'm trying not to get discouraged even though I am:( I am not gonna test again for a few more days I swear! You guys are amazing and i'm rooting for each and everyone of you. If I don't get my BFP I want to be able to share in someone elses excitement! And how was your day? ;)

                       Lori

[steph9803]

StephNP- CONGRATULATIONS!!! I hope you have a happy and healthy 9 months!

[BP0629]

Hey all you poa-aholics...does anyone know where to get cheap OPK's? I'm going to be using my last one today & if its not + i'm going to scream. DH & I are staying right on course w/bootie camp...& he's loving it. I think he has grasped the concept of get in, get out, mission complete...LOL  
For the last 2 days i've had a faint line on OPK (which I had last month right before I got my super + for 2 days)....so hopefully today is the day. We made a deposit last night & i'm sure we will do some more tonight  :-)

Hope everyone is keeping up w/bootie camp & sending super duper sticky baby dust to all!!! February is our month....November babies or burst!!!!!!!!

[hazleyez]

Congrats STEPHN69

Yes me to steph I am hoping and prayer I am gonna be big fat and Pregnant for my BIRTHDAY lol... my brother bday is 6.06 to yes June is the best monthI see lol

[smr08]

StephNP09- Congratulations! Finally some good news today. I don't think that there is a way not to be nervous, the best advice I have is to enjoy your pregnancy to the fullest. My best to you, your DH and your new little bean!

                               Lori

[peterjl]

I'm still just spotting since Monday.  I took a HPT today just in case- of course it was negative, so I'm not sure what's going on.  I actually go in next week for an appt.  so hopefully will get some answers.  It's hard to stay positive after so long of ttc.  Congrats StephNP09- hope everything goes well.

[smr08]

Hi Mary, I know how you feel, I got 2 negatives today. AF is 5 days late so i'll just have to see what happens. Hang in there. it's gotta get better for us!

                                        Lori

[EricaB28]

Congrats StephNP!!!! I wish you a very uneventful 9 months!!:D

So, this morning when I went to the bathroom, there was a little blood in a lot of EWCM (sorry!! TMI, I know) So, I put on a pad, expecting my period to show up and still nothng else...also, my boobs were burning today. I really hope these are good signs. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Lori-- Did you know that most digi's don't register anything until hcg reaches 100. Just a little food for thought. I'm still rooting for you!! :D

[mikaleen]

Yay!  Congrats StephNP.  

Erica..you better Have your DH "make a deposit" tonight as Brandi so eloquently put it =).  Maybe with all the stress of moving and cleaning and testing and finding rodents you are Oing super duper late this cycle.  (is that a word super duper?) Do it before LOST!

MMM, I could go for a steak right now...unfortunately I'm feeling lazy today and it's going to be shrimp scampi.

Gotta run and start dinner, DH is almost home.  

AP...any word on your mom?

Good luck everyone!

[bam1014]

Congrats StephNP!!

ERICA - do you think with your cycles being so long that you are O'ing NOW??  They do say you can have a little blood when the egg pops out?  Just food for thought . . .

[smr08]

Erica- It ain't over for us till the fat lady "shows"

                                  Lori

[MiaIvan]

Well guys...bad news good new...
I got a BFP on Monday..yesderday it was faint today it was negative and I started my period this evening...with a whole hell of alot of cramping....but on a brighter note I might have a glass of wine tonight...I guess I had a chemical pregnancy if you call it that....

[steph9803]

Maria- I'm so sorry...I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. *HUGS*

[smr08]

Maria- I'm sorry:( Kick back, put your feet up and enjoy your glass of wine!

Lori

[EricaB28]

I am so sorry Maria. Enjoy your wine and relax. You will be in my prayers.

I don't know if I'm O ing now or what. This is ridiculous, if I am that means prob. ANOTHER 14 days before AF might show up!! That would just be insane!! Luckily, DH and I have BD'd the past couple of nights. :D We'll have to wait til after LOST tonight as my BIL is over to watch it. :P Keep your fingers crossed for me...

[MiaIvan]

Honestly I am glad it happened like this rather then later on becasue of a implantation error.  

[bam1014]

Maria - I'm so sorry.  I agree, enjoy your glass of wine, and yes it may be a little less heartache this way.

Erica - YAY LOST - my DVR is set!  (girl - you need to get one!)

I'm so annoyed that DH is not home right now.  I just got off the phone with him and now there should be no doubt in his mind that he is on duty tonight!

[Latrice414]

Congrats Steph:)  Its sorta hard not to have the thought of m/c in the back of your mind when you have had a m/c. I had a missed m/c June 08 i was 10w3d U/S measured baby at 10w1d. It took 5 months to get a BFP after first AF. I am going to b 9w friday, i did not think about m/c until my 7th week it started popping up in the back of my mind, i guess bcuz im getting close to the 10w mark. I do have cramps and pain here and there but i try not to analyze them bcuz it would drive me insaign, i jus tell myself its associated with being preggo.  Just try to focus, stay stress free, and pray for a healthy safe 9months.  Again Congratss!!

[LadyM84]

hey every1 i was due on today ,and she showed up bang on target, shes always there when i wake up in the am , i'm surprisingly ok about it , i thought i'd be devastated in some ways i'm glad because its consumed my life for about 2 weeks now i can have a break, i'll try again this month but not march knowing my luck id have a baby on christmas day , so here i go again, wish me luck x

from Ladym84/ Lisa/ 24/ Taurus

[Popcorn799]

Wow...lots has happened since I last read.
Some great news and some sad news. I am very sad for you Maria, I went through the same thing 1 month ago. If you'd like to chat...contact me, I'm here.
Congrats to you Steph!!! What grand news!

[mikaleen]

I'm sorry Maria.  It was easier for me when I had the first m/c at 5 weeks...it was so early and my HCG never went above 25 I know there was really never anything beyond a fertilized egg that didn't make it.  The second was at 12 weeks, it was more difficult.  Neither are easy, but I would rather have it hapen sooner than later.  I'm not trying to trivialize your pain, I just agree with you that it's a little easier to recover from when it's earlier.  It's also easier physicaly to ttc again, so if that's what you do for next month I wish you lots of luck!  I hope the wine helped you relax a little bit...it's my favorite vice.

[BP0629]

Well Dh & I are still going at it strong. AP-you'd be so proud!!! I went & bought more OPKs after work today. I didn't want to not test the rest of the month & then not know if I O'd or not. I figured if I don't O I need to know so I can get ahold of the dr & find out whats going on. So we'll see. Hopefully it'll happen soon.

Mialvan-so sorry to hear your news. I would definately kick back with that glass of wine.

DH already knows he has work to do tonight! lol See what you girls have done to me? hehehe....has anyone had any good news yet?

[nina2249]

Alright tomorrow is my test test day!  Wish me cupid dust!! (LOL) I hope it's positive this will be the best Valentines gift for DH and for me.



Cupid Dust To All !!!!!!!!

[bam1014]

nina - GOOD LUCK

All the boot(y) camp girls - keep going.  DH and I were going strong, but our schedule didn't mesh yesterday and tonight we are going over to the in-laws.  I asked him to keep the evening short as we had work to do :)  Cross your fingers for me girls that I can get us out of there at a reasonable hour!  I expect to O any day now and I don't want to miss it!

[munter]

Thanks Mikaleen - Man i can't wait until next week til i get into that 12th week. Go for my scan next Thursday and it seems so far away.
Happy Valentines everyone for tomorrow (its Friday here). It's me and my DHs 6th Wedding Anniversary on the 15th , where has the time gone.

Bam - You better pretend you have a bad headache so that you can leave you in-laws at a reasonable time. Good luck and i hope it happens for you this month.

Nina - Good luck for tomorrow hope you get a BFP for valentines day, wouldn't that be one to remember.

nina- I wish you lots of luck! I hope cupid's been spreading that dust all around :P
bam- Good luck...just mention the s/a to DH if he doesn't get you home in time LOL I hope you get Valentine's baby.

CD18 bbs are more sore. So it looks like my cycles are getting back to normal :D I already have testing on the brain LOL

[smr08]

Brandy- You go girl!

Nina- My fingers are crossed for you here's wishing you a BFP

Bridgette- If I had your # i'd call with an "emergency"LOL

Munter- Happy Anniversary! Good luck next week.

Steph- POAS'aholic! You need a meeting! LOL

Me, Still no AF(yay!) I just wish I knew what was going on??????

[hazleyez]

Maria- I'm sorry to hear that you m/c but as you said better now than later since it was a chemical pg but i know it is not any easier a m/c is a m/c...

Steph-- How is it going.. I have sore bbs the last 2 days so maybe I am going to O but not sure this never happened b4 I use to just get lots of cm (((sry tmi))) around Oing I have a little not alot like normaly well im hoping is luck for BFP :0)

Bam-- I am crossing me fingers that you get to have your hard work done tonight  :0)

[bam1014]

That's one of the best things about having a dog.  Whenever I want to leave I just say we need to get going in order to let him out :)  Evidently his parents have some surprise (for our birthdays) planned tonight and the waiting is driving me crazy!

[mikaleen]

Bam - can you get a quickie in before you go?
Lori - I am keeping my fingers crossed for you.  How long can you wait to test again?
Steph - The statistics have to be in yours and Bridgette's favors already.  I hope next month you just get to BD for the sheer joy...both of you...and everyone else too.  Maybe not me...=(

[smr08]

Aileen- I'm gonna "try" and hold off till after the weekend or maybe Sunday. This is crazy! I don't know what to think cuz I don't wanna get my hopes up. We'll see :)

[bam1014]

Aileen - it's a no go on the quickie.  I'm going straight to their house after work and meeting DH there.  I don't think it'd be appropriate to "excuse" ourselves for a few minutes - LOL :)

We didn't BD yesterday and if we don't get it in tonight then I'll be working with 48 hr old swimmers and that's NO good!!  Darn my DH for not waking me up this morning!  He knew he was supposed to!

Hang in there Lori, you're bound to get an answer soon one way or another!

Steph - the odds HAVE to be in our favor!!  We both have our EDD coming up next month . . .  My co-worker had her baby shower on Monday - the one that was supposed to be a joint one :(  Thank goodness for class/DH's B-day, built in excuse to get out of it.  Boy was it torture going into BabiesRUs to buy her present.  I got a little side tracked thinking of things that I would hopefully need someday.

[smr08]

Bridgette & Steph- What was your EDD? My first was 3/27, 3 days after DH B'day, second was 3/14, the day before our 18 yr. Anniversary .

[smr08]

Sorry I meant 3 days before DH's B'day

[steph9803]

Lori- Mine was 3/9, but I have to deliver at 38 weeks so I would be delivering a week from Monday. It was perfect because all of my kids b-day's would be spaced out perfectly...I'm so glad that AF hasn't shown yet. I don't know how you are not testing everyday!
bam- I'm sorry you had to go through that. I didn't realize that it already happened. Sometimes I just can't believe how fast time has gone by. I hope you get your BD'ing in tonight!
Aileen- By the time we get to BD without ttc in every thought I hope I remember what it's like LOL. I hope when I get my BFP that somebody else gets one too..I'm going to need a belly buddy to make it though the first trimester :D
Amanda- I can't wait for us to start testing :P I'm pretty sure I O'd already since my bbs are so sore. If I go by the last two cycles that would be right on time! I'm just so excited this month for some reason. DH says I've been pretty cheerful lately.

[hazleyez]

steph-- I am hoping we will be belly buddies but not sure with my cycle its the first since m/c in nov.. but i am pretty happy and i feel good about this boot(y) camp haah/. and i am trying to keep in every other night since dh is really busy this past week at work.. so I am just praying and hoping I get the BFP this month I will continue to BD until the end of the month lol i dont wanna miss anything if O but I have had a little sore bb`s but nothing like i notice major you know.? so I guess we will see.. I cant wait to TEST haah I even went and bout alot of them today I am not sure of the dollar store tests but I did buy the walmart and rite aid kinds soo FINGERS CROSSED FOR BOTH OF US>!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   :0) SSBD :0)

[nina2249]

Thanks for all the baby dust girls..... IT was a BFN!!!!!!! Oh well there's always next month right. Well I wish you all BFP And I hope all you guys have a great Valentines Day.

[bam1014]

Lori - mine was 3/22

We were able to make it home by 9:00 last night.  All dinner long we kept saying how tired we both were and that DH has to get up so early in the morning.  We even skipped eating the B-day cake MIL brought with us to the restaurant.  We really were on a mission to get home!!  DH took his responsibilities so seriously that he even woke me up at 4:00 this morning.

[mikaleen]

I told DH to wake me at 4 this morning when the alarm went off...but of course he didn't.  He said I looked so happy sleeoing, and i hadn't slept so well in a long time.  I told him that's sweet, but I won't look so happy when AF comes.

[mikaleen]

Bam..I hope you guys were able to enjoy dinner!  I don't know if I would've been strong enough to resist cake...Wow.

[GMB08]

just checking in..hope all are well..im 9dpo..and itching to test..............

[bam1014]

Aileen - HA, they let us take the cake home with us.  Now we'll have a special little treat for tomorrow.

We were on a mission!  The dog was lucky we even let him out of his crate first :)

[GMB08]

bam....i hope this it your month...my baby was due march 27...i so want that bfp before hand

[Popcorn799]

GMB08--- I am itching to test also. I am 8dpo
Jenny---I hope you are doing o.k. I am thinking of you.
Bam---You are too funny. I hope this is your month.
Lori----test again! I can't wait to hear what the outcome is!

Have a good weekend everyone!

[ArmyPrincess819]

Popcorn- Thank you so much. My mom is doing amazing since having her surgery on wed. She is a fighter now I know where I get it from. My lil man is doing great I met my new dr/specialist he is awesome I couldn't be happier with him and the hosp. He found some of my ob records in his comp so he was like now whonder why you are so nervous to deliver. Ya so he wants me to try for a vag delivery since having a a few surgeries and 2 c-secitons. He will not induce me etc. That was a later conversation we had yes but first I'm not our of the woods just because he couldn't see the hematoma doesn't mean it's not there it could be hiding but it's a good start. He said I'm still at risk for a pre-term labor. I have decided to think positive I hope I delver in Aug My due date is july 20 but seriously I would rather deliver him a month late than 2 mos early. I'm taking a very positive approach to everything. Yesterday I was relieved of bed and pelvic rest. I feel like a new person with such posiitve things being told to me by a dr it's been over 2 mos since I have heard anything nice about my pg. I feel human again. Thank you so much for asking. How are you doing? Are you taking time off or ttc? Best wishes to you and Happy V-Day. I hope you get your bfp sooner than later!
Hugs,
Jenny

[ArmyPrincess819]

I hope everyone has a nice and romantic V-Day. Best wishes to all of you and lots of baby dust.
Big Hugs,

Julie- Sunday or Monday(if af doesn't show)

[ArmyPrincess819]

Lori- Thank you so much. I'm still in a daze i can't believe I was told good news. I'm so happy. My dh and I are ciked. Best wishes to you and I hope you get your bfp!
Big hugs,

[LadyM84]

hey every1 just thought id pop in and say hi , im on cd 2 now so thats cool , i bought 1 of those clearblue digi opks earlier , are they any good ?? and when should i start to test with it ?? xxx
Nina so sorry af showed up , i know how you feel oh well at least we can test together next month , xx
AP  so glad to hear you , your mum and your bump are doing great , from what ive read about you , you deserve nothing more , hugs for you xxx
And to those waiting to test (i dont know how you do it ) but good luck with those xx

[bam1014]

Lisa - I use the clear blue digis.  I LOVE them!  When you start all depends on your cycle.  If your cycles are the typical 28 days, then probably start around CD12 (thinking you'd probably O around CD14).  If they are longer or shorter, take your average cycle length and count back 14 days, then start 3-4 days before that.

[BP0629]

AP- SOOOO HAPPY YOU GOT GOOD NEWS & W/Your mom!!!! You deserves some happy times!!!

Well I'm sitting here on CD18 wondering how i'm still able to walk thanks to APs Boot(y) Camp *lol* & watching the clock so I can POAS for OPK....shouldn't I have O'd by now??? GRRRR!!!!!!! DH is loving all the 'loving' so no complaints there. I just would feel better if I O'd so I know I have a chance at BFP this month.

I hope all of you are doing well & can't wait to start seeing BFPs for February!!!

[kgokgo]

Jenny- Glad to know that your mum's surgery went well and that you've been relieved from bed rest. Things are looking good and don't let negative thoughts stop you from enjoying your pg.

Hope everyone is doing well.

[ArmyPrincess819]

Kgokgo- Thank you so much for all your kind words and support. I feel human again. I honestly was beginning to think I was being punished for something I did. Now I feel like a 50 lb weight was lifted off my head. I refuse to let anything get in the way of enjoying my pg. I love my lil and I'm glad I'm pg. It truly has been hell but looking at him at every u/s I look at his beautful face and say He is worth all of this. I can't wait until he is an adult and says something so I can remind him of what I went though...LOL. I'm ciked I started with a boy and I'm ending with a boy. I'm truly a blessed woman. Thanks again and enjoy your V-DAY...BIg hugs to you,
Jenny/AP

[ArmyPrincess819]

LadyM84- Thank you so much. We are all going to be fine. I'm so glad. When I was pg with my oldest ( my 1st lil man) I had vag bleeding at 14 wks from placenta previa and my grandmother died(my mom's mother) so I thought history was repeating. It is with the previa for now but wso ith death, No. So yes I needed some happy and positive news. It has been a long road I guess that is part of life and the more pgs I have I'm learning that every single one of them are different and everyone you have is like the very first time you have ever had the experience. You just never know. Thanks again and I hope you enjoy your day tomorrow. Best wishes to you and good luck, Thanks again for your support!
Hugs,
Jenny/AP

[ArmyPrincess819]

Empty inside- Thanks so much. I'm relaxing and loving it. I feel like a new woman. I have been catching up on my sleep. Thanks for your support. Best wisehs to you. Thanks for your kind words and all your support!
Jenny/AP

[bam1014]

Brandy - Keep going, it's no time to throw in the towel now!  I'm sorry if I asked this before (my brain is a little full right now), but are you checking your CM?

Jenny, I'm so happy for your good news.  It's nice to see you finally enjoying the pg and yes, I'm sure some day you'll have opportunity to remind Jeremy what a little stinker he was :)  I'm trying as hard I can to stick with the boot camp.  I got my + OPK today, so I figure a good 5 more days should cover all our bases :)

[smr08]

Bridgette, just remember..... I know I can, I know I can, I know I can!

[bam1014]

Lori - This is right on schedule with my plan.  I really wanted to O on V-Day.  I don't really know why, since DH and I don't even celebrate it.  But it seems like a lucky charm right?  I'm guessing you haven't seen the COW yet?  When you have such a regular cycle, no news is good news, right?  Just keep saying - I know I can, I know I can, I know I can :)

How fun if we were belly buddies??  Then you could educate me!!

[ArmyPrincess819]

Bridgette- Thank you. I love being pg I do and I have loved having Jeremy under my heart this whole time but it was hard to really enjoy things when everyday I was getting nothing but bad news. I still take things as they come but at least things are going forward and looking better. I will remind him believe me. Boot camp should be fun so if it isn't easy make it fun! I'm so happy you have a pos smiley so congrats. Enjoy every minute of boot camp and you will look back in 9 mos and say it was all worth it. This is your time to shine. I know you will get a BFP! Big hugs to you,
Jenny
Happy V-Day!

[mikaleen]

Just wanted to say Happy Valentine's Day to everyone.  I hope lots of babies get made tomorrow!  

[Popcorn799]

Bam: You are doing good with the Bd....keep it up. This has to be your month!

Lori: Not sure how you can wait. If you don't get Af and a bfn, will you go and get checked? Its seems so odd for you and your regular cycle. I hope its a BFP!

Jenny-- I am in the tww right now. I am 8dpo and I would like to test, but I will wait until at least tues or wed. Here's to hoping!

[nina2249]

Your so funny!  I hate Friday the 13TH... (lol) Well If i got a positive I would have liked it. I was so bummed.! I told my Husband This morning I'm tired of trying he was like what! I don't think so. Well Next cycle I'm starting injections and a IUI

[smr08]

Bridgette- Here's to your plan! I know that this is gonna be your month, I feel it in my heart. I can't wait till you post that BFP! No "COW" yet, 8 days late as of today! Belly Buddies! How cool! 3 kids (2 being adults) that still wanna be home with mom, maybe i'm doing something right ; )

Julie- I don't know how i'm waiting either!! When I do test again if I get a BFN I will call my Dr. but hopefully thats not the way it will go. Wish me luck!

Nina- Don't even think about giving up!! We will all get our BFP sooner than later. Just follow us "I KNOW I CAN, I KNOW I CAN, BTW, my DD's name is Nina!

[GMB08]

10dpo.bfn..i knew better then to test on valentines day! :(

[ArmyPrincess819]

Popcorn- Good luck I will keep my fingers crossed and be thinking of you...

Gmb- Could you have o'd later? Don't lose hope I would re-test it may have been too early....

Lori- Any news?

[smr08]

Jenny- nothing yet, 8 days late. I'm praying that this is it but after the BFN on Wednesday i'm a little confused. How are you doing? I hope you have a wonderful V-Day with your DH. ENJOY!
(((hugs))) Lori

[GMB08]

thanks ap! i hope....smr...how are you????????/ i am pulling for you

[kgokgo]

GMB08- you still have time to get a bfp, don't give up just yet.
Lori-I still have everything crossed for you.

[smr08]

Gina- Thanks! I'm hanging in there. Are you gonna test again? I have my fingers crossed for you. We need all the BFP we can get!
