[steph9803]

Look at all of those BFP's!!! Happy Valentine's Day to everyone.

I have a question for all of you..How early do you think implantation bleeding can occur. I woke up this morning and have some spotting. TMI alert. It is really bright and not much at all. I am praying so hard that it is implantation bleeding!!

[hazleyez]

I have my fingers and toes crossed Steph that you get a BFP soon.. I am not sure how soon implantaion can start.. but you never know maybe it is..  :0) keep us updated Happy V-Day everyone...

[smr08]

Bridgette- Great job once again! I don't know how you do it. Hey! I'm catching up to Erica.

Steph- I never had I/B , but I sure hope thats what your having! Good luck

[steph9803]

You ROCK bam!
I don't know what to think. My bbs went from being really sore the past few days to barely at all today. I don't have any cramping at all and I just went to the bathroom and there is only the tiniest bit of spotting now.
Lori- How in the world are you not testing? LOL
Amanda- I'm working on it :P We're still BD'ing everyday just incase.

[hazleyez]

yes i am doing so still but im probaly not gonna get BFP this month I just dont feel confidetn b.c this is first af since m/c soo I guess i will see :0)

[7preg3b]

Wow you are good..  BFN so far..  but its only 7 or 8DPO..  will wait another week and test again..  Just got a new job though so not so sure its good if I am pregnant.  But I truly feel it will be blessing    

[ArmyPrincess819]

Bam- Nice job! Thanks.....Hugs,
Jenny/AP

[Latrice414]

Good job Bam

Congrats to StephN and Kgokgo

Steph, i think it really depends, i thought it had to happen like within the 6-12 days, but there was a woman on here who had implantation bleeding and 4dpo, and is still preggo, so i guess it can happen that early.  Good luck i got my fingers crossed for you.

Happy V-Day to everyone:)

[steph9803]

Thanks Latrice. I really hope this is it. It's over a week before AF is due. I have been looking it up all over the place and I have seen some that say as early as 5...This would be lots easier if I knew exactly what day I O'd.
7preg3b- Good luck!
Amanda- You never know! Look at how many are getting BFP's right after their m/c's now. Keep your eye on the prize!

[Popcorn799]

Kgokgo: Congratulation!! That is so great!

I can't believe how many bfp we have had this month so far. I hope I don't get left in the dust... I don't feel very confident that its gonna be my month. I have been having dreams every night about being pregnant or actually having a baby. Its so frustrating to be thinking of that even when I am trying to sleep.
Last night my dream was that I was getting an ultrasound and there were 7 embryos growing, 4 boys and 3 girls....weird.

Lori and Erica:  Any news with you girls? I hope something good!

Happy Belated V-Day!

[smr08]

Julie- Bad news for me, AF showed up 8 days late on Valentine's Day:( Hopefully next month!

[mikaleen]

Well, I hope everyone had a good roductive Valentine's Day.  I'm still depressed over your bad news Lori, but I hope those 2 drinks helped mellow you out a little =)
I hope I'm O'ing on my normal schedule this month, because that would mean today.  We managed to get some BDing in Friday and last night, but DH woke up with the tummy virus at 2 am and while I was at the store getting him gatorade this morning DD threw up all over our feet in line.  Needless to say today is out, but I hope that the past 2 days and maybe tomorrow will keep me in the game.  (Unless I O'd realy early this month...which has never happened before day 15)  Good luck to everyone!

[smr08]

Thanks Aileen! I feel very depressed today I keep thinking about my EDD next month it really *****! Sorry to hear that DH & DD are not feeling well hope it passes soon. I've got my fingers crossed for you and hope we get alot more BFP soon.

                                                      Lori

[steph9803]

How is everybody today?  I'm on CD22 today and very anxious to test :P Last night I got car sick on the way home from my Mom's...I don't know if it was all of the chocolate covered macadamia nuts and pineapples she brought back from Hawaii LOL Hopefully it was more than that :D It's been entirely too quiet on here...
Julie- When are you going to test?

[bam1014]

Good morning Ladies!

Steph - does this mean you got your new computer?  I hope it wasn't the candy either!!  When will you test?  I'm just starting the TWW and my target test date is 3/1 (if I can hold out that long!)

I am praying we had a very re-productive V-Day.  One down side to the Clomid is that my O pains are almost unbearable.  It hurts so bad to walk, sneeze and even BD.  They only lasted 2 days last cycle, but seem to be more painful this time around.  I really pray that I get my BFP, I don't think I will be able to take the Clomid again.  Anybody have any suggestions on what I could take for the pain?  My dr said not to take Aleve, which is about the only thing that has ever worked for me.

[queenspade]

Things are extra quiet here today.  I have promised d/h that i won't test again until Tues. or Wed.  A/F is due tomorrow.......Fingers crossed she doesn't show up.  

[mikaleen]

We need a stimulating topic...the orgasm thing kept us going for a little.

[mommyoftwo28644]

I am out... I tried not to think about it this month and it wasn't my month. I want to send all of you a lot of SSBD!!!
Hugs
Mandy

Congrats KgoKgo & Steph

[steph9803]

bam- I did get my new computer!! DH hasn't been able to drag me off of it for long since I got it :D I love it! I already went out and bought a few tests so I probably will start testing on Wednesday or Thursday...If that was I/B then I should get a BFP sooner than normal. I know I should probably wait...but being the PIAC addict that I am it can't hurt LOL
Jenn- I've got my finger crossed for you. Hopefully that silly witch won't show up at all and we'll be celebrating your BFP this week!
Aileen- True :P I got to read it all, but I wasn't on most of that day.

[smr08]

Steph- I can hardly wait! BFP<BFP<BFPBFP>BFP>BFP

Bridgett- I have everything that can be crossed crossed for you!! I really hope this is it, I can use some happy news.

Jenn- My fingers are crossed with you!

Aileen- Ok, how can we make it more stimulating????

Mandy- Sorry:( Wasn't my month either!

[bam1014]

What did everybody do with their honies for Valentine's Day?  As for me and DH, we don't really get into it as it's so close to our b-day's.  However, he did make yummy T-Bones and made a special gorgonzola sauce to put over mine, he knows I'm addicted to the stuff!  Oh and we cleaned the house - how romantic?

My MIL got a silly little hat for my Min Pin, Charlie.  I tried all weekend to get him to wear it long enough to get a pic.  I'm almost there!

[smr08]

We planned a romantic night and then AF showed, can you believe the ***** picked V-Day after being 8 days late!!!! So DH made me dinner, linguine and clam sauce, it was sooooo good, then we watched Gran Torino, not very romantic but a good movie.LOL

[BP0629]

Happy belated V-day to all!. Mine was not the best, but no biggy.

Lori-So sorry that witchy AF showed her evil face.

I'm still waiting to "O"....V-Day was a bust, we even missed boot(y) camp that night. I had to stay about 2hrs late at work & I had a cake order to work on when I got home. My Dad-n-law was here working on the house w/DH (we moved in September & have been remodeling since...), then my 5y-old was running a fever of 103 & having stomach issues. Then we had to go to a tax appt @ 4. DH & I did go to Chili's for carry out & each had a drink while we waited...came home & mom-n-law had dinner w/us (she watched the kids), then fever went back up & just when getting ready to take her to ER she fell into a deep sleep. I had to get dinner ready for church the next day & DH helped & helped clean the kitchen....by the time bedtime rolled around we were exhausted & worried that daughter would wake up with fever...we made up for it....THREE times last night though...LOL....yeah, i'd say the romance is gone....

[smr08]

WOW Brandy, I got tired just reading everything you had to do! Glad to hear you made up for it!

[mikaleen]

I don't know, Lori.... what would be something you would be really embarrassed to talk about while looking at someone's face?  I usually only chime in on embarrassing topics, after they've been brought up...I'm too introverted to actually start the conversation.  How about favorite positions?  Mine is sprawled on my stomach, hand and ankle cuffed to the bed posts.



I'm just kidding...although maybe now I'll have to try that.    

[smr08]

Now you have me LMAO Aileen!!! After 18 years of marriage I thought we tried them all, but I was never cuffed to the bed post, HMMMM. LOL

[bam1014]

Brandy - I need a nap after reading that!

Aileen - ROFLMAO

Ok, so here is a VERY embarrasing TMI topic:  trimmed, shaved or oh-natural?

(I can't believe I'm asking this)

[mikaleen]

I'll be brave and answer first...

trimmed and shaved

[smr08]

Thanks Aileen! I was hoping that someone answered first(should have been Bridgette since she asked LOL)  

Trimmed and Shaved (now you all know something DH only knows!)

[bam1014]

I always wonder what the dr's think?  Have you ever seen the funny e-mail about the lady who wanted to "clean up" before her appt and grabbed the wash rag off of the counter.  The dr made a comment about her "going all out" and when she got home her daughter asked where her rag with all of sparklies was :)

shaved (DH is in charge of maintenance and takes pride in his work :)

[smr08]

Bridgette- your very trusting, i'd probably need stitches if DH got his hands on me(doesn't stop him from asking though! lol)

[bam1014]

Lori - LOL, he's not using a weedwacker!  Besides if he trusts me to shave his head, I guess I have to be trusting as well :)

[steph9803]

Shaved for me...When I was big and pregnant DH had to take over b/c I wasn't going into the delivery room any other way :P
I just woke up from a 2 1/2 hour nap! I went to lay down for a few minutes and couldn't get up. I have been so sleepy the past few days. I know you aren't going to believe this...but me and DH didn't even get to BD on V-Day because I was soooo tired. I usually don't get fatigued until AF shows up. We had steaks, baked potatoes, salad and bread all of which I was too tired to help cook...We ended up having subway LOL Then yesterday my Mom was going to get all of the kids since she just got back in town. We were going to have a nice quiet night alone without the little ones....Of course my youngest woke up with really bad pink eye in both eyes.


bam- I did see that. It was so funny I was laughing for days.

[Popcorn799]

This is soooo Funny!!!!
I am shaved and trimmed!
Steph: I'm not sure to be honest...I'm very nervous about testing now. Of course I really hope I am, but I am not confident that its my month. I hope all these signs you are having are all pointing towards a bfp.

[kgokgo]

Hi everyone. Hope you all had a good V-day. Mine was going well until my friend's dh cancelled my friend's surprise baby shower which I had spent weeks planning. He sent me an e-mail to cancel less than 24hrs before the party. He thought she wasn't well enough to attend a party. I couldn't believe he did that. Because our due dates were only 3 weeks apart, I had to use all my strength to suppress the green eyed monster from popping out whilst I dutifully arranged the shower. Anyway, to cut the long story short we ended up having the shower at my house and as soon as she learnt about the party guess who turned up and ended up being the life and soul of the party?

Mommyoftwo & Latrice- thanx.

Steph-since you do not know when you ovulated, it is possible that this might be implantation bleeding. Fingers crossed.

Aileen-sorry to know dh and dd are not well, hope the bd'ing you managed to sqeese in was enough.

bam-am hoping that this is your month. If it goes otherwise, try and not give up on clomid yet. It will all be worth it when you get to hold your baby in your hands.

Lori-sorry af had to turn up after all that waiting. Am praying that it will be your turn next month.

Hope everyone else is keeping well.

SSBD everyone!

[kgokgo]

Aileen-just when I was about to say OMG in response to your comment about the handcuffing and all, I was dissapointed to realise that you were joking.

I'm always a well-shaved girl....lol. I make sure I do the job myself, don't think dh is merticulous (sp) enough.
Oh, on the positions, the little piggy here is a cowgirl. Luckily dh has no problem with being ridden. As he puts it, he can lie down and think of England whilst yours truly does the job and I don't usually come down until I get my orgasm. Did I just tell you all that? Bam, what are you doing to us?

[bam1014]

Niki - thanks.  Honestly though, right now it feels as if my insides are being scraped out with a fork.  I dread everytime I have to walk down the hall to somebody else's office.  All this pain can not be a good thing.  Besides Clomid can dry out your CM, so if this is not my month, it would probably be more productive to take a cycle off.  I don't need the Clomid to O, I'm just doing it to up our odds - more targets :)

When is your first dr's appt?

[bam1014]

Niki - hilarious - I can't believe you just told us that either!  Gosh I guess I'm a real fuddy-duddy when it comes to positions.  All I can say is that one of the craziest things we did was to BD in our backyard, in the daytime (we have a fence).  But lo and behold a little while later I ended up with Lyme's disease, so we don't know if I got the tick there or in some woods.  Needless to say I won't do that again :)  DH tries his hardest to get me on his snowmobile - but I'm not a real fan of the cold garage.

[bam1014]

oh and btw, DH couldn't be more meticulous if he tried - this is truly a work of art to him - LOL.  I just need to make sure and remind him when my dr's appt's are so he can make the time - (fyi - fantastic foreplay!!!)

[steph9803]

When our kids were smaller and used to nap and go to sleep earlier we would BD just about anywhere in the house. Now we are more limited to the bedroom :( DH loves the foreplay, which is awesome for me.
Aileen- DH won't let me tie him up.. I think he's afraid I'm going to get him tied up then take his wallet and run LOL
Niki- That's what I'm hoping for!
bam- I don't know much about Clomid, is that normal? If so I sure hope that means that you had more than one egg pop out :P Then I'll be waiting for the announcement of twins or triplets!

[kgokgo]

Oh, the backyard one sounds so naughty....lol. Our backgarden is also fenced but it is also overlooked by our neighbours upstairs rooms. I'm a big fan of the great outdoors but dh is not so keen. We will see, I'll give him an offer he can't refuse one of these days coz we are sorrounded by rolling green fields. The risk of catching Lyme's diesease might stop me from fulfilling my fantasy though. Are you now free of Lyme's disease? I read a story about a woman who had it for 20 years without realising it. The Drs apparently missed her symptoms.

About going to the Dr, I'm going to stay put for a few more weeks. Last time I went as soon as I got a bfp and was given an u/s at 5 weeks and of course they couldn't see anything and it really had a negative impact on me. Then it was blood test after blood test and u/s every week and then at the end they told me that it was not viable. I don't want to go through that again. I'm just keeping everything normal and we haven't told anyone. We are just taking each day as it comes. That's the only way I can stay sane.

[kgokgo]

bam- I really hope that there won't be a need for another cycle coz you would have gotten your bfp by then. I wish there was something that could be done to lessen the side effects. Sometimes it seems so unfair. I really hope this is your month. Will keep the fingers crossed for you and everyone else in need of crossed fingers.

[smr08]

Bridgette You poor thing, lyme disease!! I guess from then on you keep it indoors. LOL

As for positions I have to say "tried em all loved em all!!! (haven't tried the cuffs...yet! LOL

back to the grooming, giving a razor to DH would be like giving one to Helen Keller!! OUCH

[steph9803]

I have a question for you girls...I started bleeding very lightly on the 24th, but not heavy until the 25th. Do you think that I should move my CD up a day? The O tracker on here didn't start me until I put heavy. Of course I would much rather be on CD 23 than 22...to help rationalize my compulsive testing LOL

[Popcorn799]

I think you should put your cycle day at 22. BUT I guess it would depend on how your Af normally is. For myself I usually have a bit of brown and then the next morning its heavy  and thats when I start mine.

[ArmyPrincess819]

Bam- Both dh and I are bald as an eagle. As for V-day too funny I'm finally off pelvic rest and we couldn't wait 6 wks of nothing he felt bad for me so he didn't even ask for anything I mean nothing. Ya I felt like a virgin umm couldn't get it in finally did and now we both have indian sun burn so we are taking a few days off...LOL. That was our hot night....How was yours ?

[mikaleen]

HA!  AP...I know how bad Indian Burn ***** on an arm...Can't even begin to imagine.

kgokgo...you don't have to disappointed, the more I think about it the more I think it WILL be my fave once we try it.  No handcuffs though, we'll have to use zip ties.  Yeehaw!

Bam...some people worry about getting chlamydia...you are the only person I know who got Lyme fom sex.

I have to think about the most out of the nrom place and get back to you later...DH is trying to peek.

[smr08]

How the **** are we gonna top this subject Saturday???
Well it's official, you are now all my best friends(you all know to much!!!!)LOL

[steph9803]

LOL too funny! I think you guys know more then my OB

[Dani711]

OK ladies...I haven't been able to get on the computer much, but now I am getting scared to see what topic I will find LOL!  I don't have much to comment on in the BD'ing dept. since DH is convinced the baby can see us!!!!  I have never gone this long without bd'ing since I was 18!!!!  I keep explaining that the baby can't see and it wont hurt him!!!  This is the same person that asked me today when we were shopping if this sweatshirt he saw would be to big for the baby!  I am only just about 17 weeks...with a fetus!  OHHHH I am about to bust!

Bam- I can't believe you added our signs to all of our info....how you keep in all on track I will never know!  I hope you are doing well, I will be back on for good on Friday most likely....I am missing my home.

Steph- I am praying for you!  The early blood MUST mean something!

Lori- Sorry AF showed up so late....that just is never fair!

Everyone else, can't wait to get home and get some rest and catch up with everyone..

[steph9803]

Thanks Dani! We miss you.

[mikaleen]

Don't worry Steph...if your OB is on Mdhelp he'll know all this about you...I was thinking before...along with like 2 million other random people who pull up our posts...I can't even imagine what people are thinking.  Some random guy in Iceland is reading all about us...logging on every day to see what those crazy women are up to.

We're better than reruns of sex and the city (which I never watched the first time around).

[LadyM84]

hey everyone i just wanted to ask a question , if you can help that would be great , right i know i can get pregnant cause i did in nov but now i have this really bad paranoira that i wont ovulate , my af this month was really dark towards the end is that normal its only my 2nd cycle since my mc , but what my question was is would an opk still work even if i wasnt ovulating ??????? like i said i'm just being paranoid but if you have any answers that could put my mind at rest id appreciate it alot thanks girls xx ssbd to all of us x
Steph good luck praying for your BFP  
Lori this is our month girl x
Bam are you feeling better yet ?? has the pain subsided yet ??xx

[GMB08]

thats a good question lady.....i dont have an answer though, but someone on here will....hope all of you enjoyed your weekend......good luck to all that are waiting to tesy...sorry smr af came.......im hoping you have better luck next month! i tested yest at 12dpo...and bfn...so once again.....its a no go! to all the ladies with buns in the oven..send us some luck please! lol

[steph9803]

CD23 still have sore bbs and itching to test. I am going to try to hold off as long as possible. I am so wishing that I would have bought some OPK's this month. Then I would have a better idea if it's possible that it was I/B.
Aileen- LOL I bet we do have plenty of anonamous readers! I never watched Sex and the City either. Too girly girl for me.
Lisa- I'm not sure hun. I don't know anything about OPK's. Try not to stress too much though, because it can delay O.
Gina- Are you having any signs of AF? I'm sorry you got a BFN. I saw that you m/c in August too. Mine was on the 7th and the more time that goes by the harder it is to see these BFN's. I'll be praying that you get a BFP miracle anyways :D

[smr08]

Dani- Thanks! How are you feeling? Glad to see you back!

Aileen- DH said the same thing, he asked if our last names were posted and said he hopes our next convo isn't about size! LOL

Lisa- I can't help you with the OPK, never used them, but i'm also hoping we get our BFP ASAP!

Gina-Do you think a was to early to test? Will you test again?

Steph- I'm counting down the days!!!

[ArmyPrincess819]

Aileen- LOL...Yup. I never thought it was possible but we proved it can happen. My dh laughed his butt off when I told him I posted it. And the shaved part he says I don't want to hear it if I tell the guys in the Army stuff. Ha too funny...

[bam1014]

Hmm I missed so much being at class last night - where do I begin?  Once you get Lyme's Disease you will have it the rest of your life.  I caught it pretty early and was treated with antibiotics so it's in "remission" so to speak.  (LOL about the Clamydia (chlamydia) comment).  There are days when I feel so "off" that I wonder if it is resurfacing.  I can't say we'll BD in the backyard anymore, but we love to go camping, so I'm still a big fan of the great outdoors.

My O pains are considerably less today, so I have no doubt I'll feel just fine very soon.  My poor ovaries, I feel like I really did a number on them :(   I have no doubt that it means that I popped several eggs!  Now if only the swimmers are smart enough to find them.

A/P glad to see you had a great V-Day, too bad now your in recovery because of it :)

Dani we miss you, but I hope you are having a great vacation!

Lady - m/c can do some wacky things to AF.  An OPK can only confirm that you have an LH surge, not the actual O (you would need a 7DPO progesterone test to know for sure).  However, if you get repeated +'s or all -'s that can indicate that something is wrong.  You can also track CM or BBT in conjunction with OPK's.  I put out a post a few months ago on OPK's.  In the search bar just type OPK's 101 and you should find it.  If you can't let me know and I can bump it.  Don't get too paranoid, everything should be just fine.  How long have you been TTC in total?  It can take a perfectly healthy couple up to a year to conceive.  Now if you're like DH and I who have been at this for over 2 years, you may want to start pressuring your dr for some answers.

Gina - BOO on the BFN, does that mean the COW will show up in 2 days?

Niki - I'm glad to see you are taking one day at a time.  I am praying for your stickey little bean.

Lori - hilarious - I love the Hellen Keller referance :)

Steph - I've got my fingers crossed.  Let me know if you want me to get the pom poms out.

[bam1014]

Ha - size - shall we all go run and find our tape measures!!  Good thing I post at work, DH has no idea.

btw A/P DH is bald as an eagle too :)  He would be mortified to know where this conversation has led - LOL

[mikaleen]

In 5 years my daughter is going to google "bald eagle" for some kind of report or something and she's going to get this post.

Steph...I hope this is it for you...got my fingers crossed

GMB...fertility friend found that the largest numbers of positive results reported are tests that are taken on the first day AF is missed.

Bam...I hope the sacrifice of not eating the cake and bringing it home was enough, and all your little eggs find mates (well, maybe not if there's like 5 of them)

Lisa...If you get a positive OPK you have an LH surge.  That doesn't mean the egg will lay but it means your ovary is trying to pop it out.  If you got pregnant in Nov, and before that you had normal cycles there shouldn't be any reason for you not to O.  Almost all of us have strange cycles since our m/c's.  Some with timing, some with flow...it'll straighten out eventually (I hope for al our sakes)

Dani...hope you are having fun!

Niki...We tried it with the zip ties... =)  I hope your bean is checked in and nice and comfy for a 9 month stay.

I can only imagine what Nunu will have to say when she comes back.  

[GMB08]

bam...mikaleen..thank you for your words.....but i know shes coming...i always get a slight right side headache......about a week before.....any one else get those? and whe i apply pressure on it...it fades....weird....but thats how i know shes coming

[steph9803]

Aileen- LMAO! Pantyhose work too :P
Lori- How are you doing today?
bam- I'm glad you're not in so much pain today...I hope it pays off.

I just went back and checked when my bbs started to get sore last cycle. It was on CD22? That is 5 days later than this month. They stayed sore for 10 days then AF showed up. I hope this isn't my body still doing funny things. Today is the 7th day they've been sore. Maybe I did O early...YAY

[GMB08]

yay steph..when are you going to test

[smr08]

Bridgette- glad to hear your O pains are not as bad. How do you like where this post went???? LOL

Aileen- zip ties?? lol!

Gina- I hope it's a pg headache.xx

Steph- much better today, thanks to you guys!

[bam1014]

Lori - the O pains are all gone now and I'm back to normal!  Now the excruitiating TWW begins.  I really wanted to wait until the 1st to test, but my resistance is already waivering and I'm trying to decide how soon it will be before my car drives me to the $ store.  LOL - I couldn't have asked for a more amusing post!  I'm glad you are feeling better, if nothing else was accomplished then cheering you up made the TMI worth it :)

[steph9803]

Gina- I might test tomorrow, but I'm not sure yet.

[GMB08]

oh steph...i hope its a bfp!

[queenspade]

Well, it looks like A/F is showin up right on schedule. So far this morning there is just light pink when I wipe.  Usually she is full force in the morning but I am pretty sure she has arrived. :(  Maybe next month will be our month.

[LadyM84]

thank girls your all so great ,
Bam i came of the deppo injection in jan 08 , and i got my 1st period 5 weeks later but they was all over the place for the 1st few months so about 10 months the 1st time but i wasnt charting or anything then i was very patient just waiting for it to happen since my mc ive been a little obsessed its only been the 1 cycle so far that i have tried again , so i will try and stop being so paranoid ,
Steph good luck for 2mro or when you decide to test , xxx
Lori how are you feeling today ?? x

[bam1014]

Lady - I know exactly what you mean about becoming obsessed.  It took us almost 2 years for our first BFP, I had given up all hope.  But once you KNOW that it can happen it changes the whole game.  The last 6 months my entire life has become consumed with TTC.  Poor DH just suffers through it all.

Please don't be paranoid.  The best thing you can do, is keep up with an O Tracker and find some way of charting, OPK's and BBT can be more stressful, I would think CM would be the easiest.  That way if it continues to take awhile you will be armed with info to take your dr (i.e. irregular cycles, short LP, no CM, etc).  Typically they won't treat you for anything if you haven't charted for at least 3 months.  I pray that it won't take you that long and we will all be celebrating our BFP's very soon, but just in case . . .  I don't know if I've mentioned to you before, but the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler (sp?) is great.  She goes very indepth with all the different methods of charting and I learned more about my body and reproduction then I ever knew before!

Feel free to send me a message anytime if you need to talk.  I've "been there, done that".

[LadyM84]

Thankyou , its good to know i have people to talk to who understand how i feel and don't think i'm nuts lol :) i started charting last month and i didnt know all that about CM  ive been doing my research so i will definately pay more attention this cycle , i know i get the stretchy stuff sorry tmi but i remember from previous cycles so i spose thats good , i'll start using my opk around 11-12 days but if it doesnt happen for me this cycle i dont think i'll buy 1 again , i say that now lol but i dont want sex to become a chore my fiance Dan doesnt even know ive got an opk grrrrr  why cant we have a big flashing red light the minite conception takes place xx baby dust to all of us xx

[LadyM84]

oh yeah and my cycles have always been pretty regular i can usually predict when af is going to show even after coming of the deppo and my mc my cycles returned within 5 weeks , so i spose if i'm regular with my cycles i have stretchy and ewcm and i got pg in nov means that i am ovulating and i should stop being so bloody dramatic , i give dan a balls inspection every night , because hes a chef and i dont want him cooking his balls lol , so when he comes home i see how far there hanging from his body bless him he puts up with it , i cant believe i just said that but it will be good for a laugh i spose lol x does anyone else give there DH  a balls inspection ?? x

[steph9803]

Lisa- LOL I said a while back that our pee should change colors or something to let us know if we're pregnant or not :D Rather than putting us through this torture.

[bam1014]

Lisa - yes it is no fun when BD becomes a chore.  I think DH and I have been at it so long, that's all we know now :)  I can't say I've ever done an inspection (my DH is a cook too).  If you have regular cycles and EWCM - then those are all GREAT signs.  It's very very possible it took you 10 months last time coz of comming off of the Depo.  When we got married I stopped the Depo and used the NuvaRing to try to ease the hormones out of my body.

If we can send men to the moon, then why can't we invent something to tell us (at Home) if we are preggo ASAP??  I'm only 3DPO and my bbs are sore (more Clomid cr*p) - way to mess with my head ! :)  Time to bust out Dani's phrase:

STUPID NECOT (never ending cycle of torture).

[steph9803]

Oh I forgot all about the NECOT!
Why does it have to be so confusing? All men have to do is "make the deposit" as one of you said...and then we get to go nutty trying to decipher AF symptoms from BFP.

[MiaIvan]

it is a few days after AF stopped and I am still crampy with sore BBs ....sigh my body is just screwed up.. but being off the pill has sure increased my libido...my DH is loving it

[BP0629]

LMAO!!!! Oh My Goodness!!!! You girls are too much!!! This string of post takes 4-ever to get through but it is SO funny!!!

Here we go, Sagittarius (sp?)/very well groomed/imagine the possibilities w/your husbands neck tie after a wedding reception w/an open bar & the kids are at g-mas!!! LOL

Lori-that helen keller comment was too much!!! I have some gal pals who's hubbys take care of them (especially when pregnant & I just can't do it)...i keep picturing edward scissor hands....

[smr08]

Lisa- I never did an inspection, but I worry about his(my) boys when he rides his mountain bike, dirt bike or motorcycle all that trauma those poor guys go through!!

Girls- we need to put our heads together and come up with the " Way early pregnancy detection kit, test as early as 1 second after bd'ing.

NECOT, good one!

[queenspade]

Yep...Good ol' A/F is officially here!  UUGGHH!!  Well, I guess there is always next month.

[bam1014]

Jenn - so sorry to hear the COW showed up.  Another month, another NECOT.  Just hop on the train with us and keep saying I KNOW I CAN, I KNOW I CAN, I KNOW I CAN!!

[queenspade]

it is hard to stay positive but that is the plan this month.  D/H is excited about gettin to keep trying!!  I KNOW I CAN, I KNOW I CAN, I KNOW I CAN........

[ArmyPrincess819]

Bam- As they say" BALD IS BEAUTIFUL "..LOL. Umm yeah nursing myself back to health. Forgot this am though oh well. We had therapy today and we told our therapist what happened the look was priceless we were both looking at each other like ya this is our life indian sun burn after 6 wks of no sex...Hmmh! Too funny. I love it! My dh has no shame he was like whatever I will just get you back when I have my next drill for the Army. Should be interesting meeting these guys...YIKES. My dh is such a teaser he won't tell me he told them until after I meet them. How are you doing are you recovering too from the long wknd? I hope you get your bfp soon.
Hugs,
AP

[smr08]

Jenn- Sorry the witch showed her ugly face!! She came here to. Stay poitive and welcome aboard!!

[Popcorn799]

This thread is funny, but I am so busy at work that i can't even log on to the computer, so I have to read everything at night.
I've decided to test in the morning. I bought two kits today and I will be 13dpo as of tomorrow. I really hope this is my turn, but like I said in other posts, I am not very convinced that it will be. I do not have sore bbs or any signs or symptoms at all, that I can tell so far.
Lisa & Lori--- I would be affraid of my DH boys too. My DH likes to take hot baths and I won't let him take them for 2 weeks before ovulation.
Bridgette---It seems like you may have more than one little bean growing in there. Have you been BD every day?
Jenny---I can't believe the burn you got. I've had that happen too, that we've waited so long it felt like it was the first time all over again.

[smr08]

Julie- Good luck tomorrow! I really hope you get your BFP. My bb's were never sore till around 3-4 months , I never really got sick, I basically didn't know I was pg till af didn't show. My fingers are crossed for you. Let me know asap!

                                       Lori

[steph9803]

Julie- GL! I've got my fingers crossed for you.
Jenn- boooooo...AF!
Lori- I so agree with that! We would be the richest women in the world :D

Happy humpday! I'm on CD24 today. Fertility Friend has me at 10dpo...I was so sleepy that I didn't think to test this morning. So I will tomorrow. I'm not letting myself get so excited today. I am trying to just think happy thoughts and take what happens. That way if AF shows up I won't get so sad.

[ArmyPrincess819]

Julie- I had to put cocoa butter on my dh last night it is now just skin like a sun burn. So he says to me I'm so spoiled I'm like no I need a good night sleep..LOL. He is such a baby. Cute though but a baby. How are you doing? Good luck....
Hugs,
AP

[Popcorn799]

Hey Girls! I poas this morning and ended up getting a bfn :(
I am sad, and it makes me even more sad because DH is upset this time too. He was hoping this was gonna be it, but I guess not this time. My AF is due on friday,,,,I think.
Thanks for all your well wishes!
I now hope that AF starts when it should.

Erica::: Has AF showed up yet?

[steph9803]

Julie- It's not over until the fat lady sings! My DH said once that he was going to get a marker and draw a second line so he doesn't have to see the disappointment in my face.

[smr08]

Julie, don't be sad(I know easier said than done) Maybe af won't show , like Steph said it ain't over till it's over! I still have my fingers crossed for you, we can't give up hope.

                                (((hugs))) Lori

[bam1014]

Julie - don't be sad, even though I realize that is impossible.  Who knows maybe you had a late implanter and you won't even see AF for another 9 months?

Good morning ladies!  It's taken me almost 4 hours to get through all of the posts!  MH is being so darn slow I don't have time to sit and let it load, so I have to keep minimizing and going back to work :(  I was so angry over that one stupid lady.  What the heck posting something like that on m/c forum.  Don't these people know better (obviously not if they can't even figure out how to use birth control)??  I digress, if I would have written one word more I would have heard it from MH for sure.

DH and I were talking last night and I was saying something about when AF comes, and he's like "don't say when, say if".  It was really very sweet of him.  I think after describing the HSG to him and the 2 months of Clomid he sees how very bad I want this.  And I finally am getting him to verbalize how much he wants it too.  I told him I only have one HPT left and asked him when I could start testing.  He pointed out that I'm addicted to POAS, so it really doesn't matter what he says - ha!  To go to the $ store or not?!?

[smr08]

Bridgette- see what happens when you blink your eyes! LOL. AAHH that was very sweet of DH, isn't it nice when you know that they feel the same as we do.

                                                    Lori

[steph9803]

bam- That was really sweet. I'm sure it's a big stress relief to know that he understands how important this is now. And of course you should go to the $ store LOL
Lori- We all have to work really hard this month so we can all have 2009 babies together :D

Why has MH been so slow? Yesterday I wrote Amanda a note and it posted like 10 times? I'm on CD25 and got a BFN. I know it's too early, but I can't help myself. I am going to try to wait until Saturday to test again. I am either having really bad PMS or I'm going to get a BFP soon...I have been eating everything in sight, today I ate leftover chinese and PapaJohn's for lunch. And I can't seem to get enough sleep. I sure do hope that I don't start going through this every month. My poor family has had to put up with my very short fuse too...So they would like for me to get an answer soon too :D

[smr08]

Steph- Sounds like a plan! It's been a while for me, so hopefully we'll make up for lost time :D  

                 Lori

[kgokgo]

Julie-like everyone has said, you are not out until the evil lady shows. Have got my fingers so crossed.
Steph-I also have my fingers crossed. It looks like all your signs are pointing to a bfp. I hope you get your answer soon.
bam-get your fingers off those tests. I know you're fighting hard not to poas. Try knitting to divert your mind....lol Hope this is your month too.
Lori- I found it so funny that you ended up posting under someone's name by mistake. I hope your boss won't find your sign in. I bet they'll enjoy all those orgasm, boxers and position stories.....lol.

[bam1014]

Niki - everytime AF shows, I promise myself not to test early the next time, then I find I just can't help myself.  As long as I can stay away from the $ store and just keep the one FRER at home, then maybe I'll wait . . . .
Actually I'm a cross-sticher, but don't have much time for it with school.  I have 3 monster essays coming up, so I'm going out to buy myself a printer tonight (there's nothing like a little retail therapy).  One would think I have enough to do to keep my mind occupied :)  (but heck no!)

[EricaB28]

Hello Ladies!! Haven't been around for a while. As a lot of you know, I am taking a couple of months off and I'm finding it hard. I miss you all so much!! Also, I end up missing such stimulating conversation, LOL!!! I was ROTFLMAO, while I was reading your posts. (Shaved, btw) Anywhoo...I was just wondering something, (not that I'm trying this month, so it doesn't really matter) ;) has anyone ever O'd like, 2 days after AF went away? I had ewcm (obviously) 2 days after AF left and I also had a small amount of pain on my right side where my ovary is. Just curious....here's hoping for more BFP's this month!! Congrats to everyone who's gotten BFP's since I've been MIA, I'm so happy for all of you.Oh, and DH and I have been getting along so much better since we've been taking a break (and having a ton more sex too!!! yay!!) Anyway, hope everyone is doing well, and I'll talk to you all very soon :D xoxo Erica:D

[ArmyPrincess819]

Erica- Welcome back!

[EricaB28]

LOL! Thanks AP!! :D I just can't stay away from you girls!! :P

[smr08]

Hi Erica! Can you believe what you've been reading! We must have to much time on our hands. Talk about getting to know each other!LOL
                          Lori

[EricaB28]

I know...you all know more about me than anyone else, except for DH. Too funny, and it's kept me so entertained on such a miserable and snowy day...lol!! How's everything going Lori? Hope all is well!! :D
Erica :D

[steph9803]

yay! We missed you too Erica. I just woke up from a nice nap. I hate it when I wake up feeling yuckier than when I went to sleep though. I've been eating so much junk (which is not like me at all!) that I think it's been making me feel yucky too.

[ArmyPrincess819]

Erica- I know not only am I a poas addict but a medhelp one too....LOL

[EricaB28]

ap-- I really am a medhelp addict. Is there a support group for that? LOL! Oh, and yeah, I guess I would definately have to go to poas meetings too...I guess, no, I know I have an addictive personality. Right now, I'm enjoying being addicted to my DH. I think I've just fallen in love with him all over again. Oh, that was a bit much, I think I threw up in my mouth a little. lol!!!!
steph-- I know what you mean. Eating junk always makes me feel worse.. bloated and heavy. yuck!! I always have to eat lots of fiber(raw veggies and fruit, usually) after I eat junk food, to clean out my system. TMI, I know....sorry! It really does help, and it keeps you full, so you're less likely to eat more junk!

[smr08]

I'm doing pretty good Erica. Pretty miserable here to. Hope your doing well. Nice to see you around!
                      Lori

Steph- sleeping and eating, you better be pregnant!

[steph9803]

I know...I am making homemade spaghetti with whole grain pasta and a salad for dinner. I am a big nutritional junkie, so I hate it when I start craving junk. It doesn't happen often, but when it does...I have to have it :P

[bam1014]

Erica - glad to see you back.  I know how it is when you promise to stay away from MH, but it's just not possible!  I don't know how nunu does it!  We should start a 12 step program :)  LOL about DH!

Lori - don't be sad.  What is our next topic of convo to cheer you up?

Steph - sleeping and eating, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[Popcorn799]

Hey Girls,
Nice to see you checking in on us Erica, I've missed you.
I am also a medhelp junkie, but it has been frustrating me lately b/c its been so slow and I am on dial up internet here at home.....sooooo sslloooowwww!
AF hasn't shown up yet...so who knows. I have had an increase in cm (wet) and I didn't poas this morning. I will wait until tomorrow or Saturday if Af doesn't show.
Thanks for all your encouraging words:)

[smr08]

Bridgette- I'm not sad, I was telling Erica that the weather is miserable. LOL. But we still need to figure out a topic here, we'll have to think long and hard about this one! LOL

Julie- I really hope she's on vacation for the next 9 months :D

[steph9803]

I am making a promise now not forget about this forum after my BFP (whenever that may be). I don't know how I could enjoy another forum as much as this one with all of you :D

[bam1014]

steph - I join you in that promise.  I could never had made it this far without all you wonderful ladies!!

Alright, it's somebody else's turn to pick a new topic!

[smr08]

Steph & Bridgette- I couldn't agree more! Whenever I get my BFP I want to be here sharing and supporting my extended family. I dont know how I would have survived the past few months without you. You all have become my rock. We have such a bond and I don't believe that I can ever find that someplace else. OK, Now that we're all crying. LOL
Lets come up with a new topic. Wheres Aileen??????????????????

[bam1014]

Lori, you brought tears to my eyes.  Yes, I feel the exact same way!!

[ArmyPrincess819]

Erica-- LOL. It's true about falling more in love with our dh's. It's the hard times that seem to pull us together. You are going through alot ttc and it must be comforting to know he is right there supporting you. My dh has been my rock all through my pg. I fell more in love with him. It happens and when it does it's an awesome feeling. I'm happy for you....
AP

[steph9803]

I teared up a little too. When I first had my m/c I found this site and there wasn't really anybody responding to anything. I had a few responses then they stopped. One woman responded to me and we would write everyday. I didn't do anything, but write back and forth with her. Then I started going back to the forum. I was lurking around for about a week when I saw a post saying "Wouldn't it be great to start a thread about ttc after m/c?" It was bam, nunu, mapes, and dani. I jumped in and have been here ever since. I was on lots of boards after my m/c and never could get into them at all except MH. I can't wait to be sharing such a happy part of my life with all of you :D

I'm not good at thinking of things off the top of my head. I'm no use in starting a new topic LOL

[elisha123]

Hey Ladies,

i would like to join your chain! Im TTC again after my miscarriage, this is my first cycle since and im on CD13 and O'ing as we speak! and im following the BD booty camp rule and bding everyday and hopeing for a BFP this month, ive herd that your more fertil after a M/C is that true?
and im just in shock that ive snaped back to regular so fast!!

[steph9803]

elisha- Welcome! I hope you catch this one so we can all celebrate a BFP with you soon! I have heard conflicting things on being more fertile after a m/c. Certain sites/people say different things. GL & SSBD!

[bam1014]

I start a new post every Saturday, so I'll be sure to add you to the list!  The more the merrier!

Steph, I agree.  When I first m/c, this was such a sad depressing place and almost nobody would answer to your posts.  But something drew me back and I just started replying to posts.  That's when I met mapes, Dani and nunu.  Nunu was the one to contact MH to ask if TTC would be an appropriate topic for us here and we haven't looked back.  We've gathered a fine group of loving, compassionate women, that despite their own pain are willing to put a hand out and help someone else up.  It's truly a beautiful thing to see. *sniff, sniff*

That being said -

PET NAMES (including those for DH and those for the anatomy) - GO!

[bam1014]

DH and I call each other Sunshine.  Everywhere we go, all the time to the nauseum of other people.  I can not remember the last time I've used his given name.

and

the who-ha or Va-J-J and the Johnson or P-Jo-Jo

[smr08]

Elisha, Welcome! This is such a fun place to be. I know that you just caught our emotional side but sometimes we just need to let everyone know how special they are and how much they have helped us. I wish you the best with ttc and hope you get lucky this month :)

Ok.... DH calls me Smokey(i feel like a stripper) and I call him Babe,Baby or Richard when i'm mad, depends on my mood.
as for the other..... Helen & Charlie(such a nice couple)lol

[bam1014]

Lori - how the heck did you come up with Helen and Charlie - LOL!

[smr08]

HA-HA-HA... Leave it to my creative DH. You can talk about them anywhere and no one would ever know who Helen and Charlie really are!

[ArmyPrincess819]

Bam- My region is my Vajj or my who who or my privacy. My nick name is Princess or baby. My dh's region is mangoods or peepee. His nickname is Babe and Rock... Too funny.....


My new question is " Lights on or off" ?

[ArmyPrincess819]

Elisha- Welcome to our community!

[smr08]

Candlelight for me!

Heres a strange one.....Socks on or off ? (i really just wanna see if i'm the only one)

On for me! Off for him

[queenspade]

lights on or lights off.....either way!! Just NO t.v.  He used to always leave it on and it drove me crazy!!!

He calls me Babe or "my love", I call him baby or daddy.  I don't really have a name for his manhood, he likes to refer to mine as "her" or Cootie coot.  He is such a dork!!

[steph9803]

AW! Thanks bam for pulling that thread up. It wouldn't let me post on it. I can't believe it's been that long. It was nice to read through all of this and realize how far we've come. I can't wait until nunu comes back.
Me and Dh usually just call each other mommy or daddy most of the time :P I guess after 10 years and 3 kids that's expected LOL Sometimes a babe, baby, or honey get thrown in.
As for the lights...We do both. I like them off b/c I think it heightens your other senses.

[bam1014]

Lights - makes zero differance, I guess at night they are usually on, but if he gets me at 4:00am then they are off.
Socks - sometimes I get lucky if he takes his shoes off!  Me, socks Always on.
Jenn / Ha! - whenever we talk to the pets we refer to ourselves as mama and daddy.

A/P - I'm glad to see I'm not the only one with a Vajj.  I have NO idea where he came up with that, it's a recent addition to our repitoire.

ok, DH just finally got home, so I'm off to amuse him ;)

[LadyM84]

hey people sorry i wasnt on much yesterday , pet name ey my fiance calls me all sorts lol but my main 1 is his star , precious , babe and i call him baby amongst other things , our other pet names are Audrey and Ernie lol i'm audrey ,
AP lights definately on .
Well its cd 9 for me and i'm hoping this is my month , sorry about the BFN  steph i was really hoping it was BFP but like you said its still early and its not over till the fat lady sings x

[steph9803]

TGIF!! Good morning/afternoon everyone. I'm on CD26 and waiting to test tomorrow. Does anyone use fertility f r i e n d ? (I didn't want them to delete it) I have a 57 on there today. I am wondering how accurate that might be.
Lisa- Yes, it is early :D It has been mentioned that statisticaly this group is past due for some BFP's...and who am I to go again statistics :P

[bam1014]

TGIF is right!  What a LONG week.  Steph, I don't use FF, what does a 57 mean?

[smr08]

Well so far i'm not alone in the sock department, right Bridgette!

Lisa- Hows everything going?

Steph- can't wait to see your BFP, I have a good feeling!

[mikaleen]

Good morning!

Thanks, Lori, for wondering where I was...Yay!  Some one was thinking about me =)
I was emotionally exhausted after a super long day yesterday, so we had some leftover homemade chicken soup for dinner and then went to the in-laws where I gorged myself on fresh baked apple spice cake.

Like Steph, it's usually mommy or daddy...it drives me nuts, sometimes I just want to hear him say my name.  I get a honey, or princess once in a while (if he's in THE MOOD)

I like the lights dimmed real low...and I hate it when he keeps his socks on...I want completely nude.  I think he looks silly under me with his long skinny legs sticking out with socks on.

Anyway..on topic, I am CD21.  If I have fertility friend set on advanced O detector it hasn't showed me o'ing yet..if I set it for research it says day 14, so I don't know what to think.  This would be later than I ever O'd before.

Steph...the past couple months on FF I have gotten up in the 50's, and nothing.  I think it's because I've had such exaggerated PMS symptoms, and they are so similar to pregnancy symptoms.  I hope in your case it means BFP!

[steph9803]

bam- I'm on my free trial right now. I have a score of 57 out of a hundred. Which means as of today I have a 57% chance of being preggo. I started taking my temps on Wed. just to see how it goes. I am not going to rely on it at all though because I can't sleep long enough at a time to get an accurate reading.
Lori- It feels like this is the longest wait for me so far...I think I'm going to test Sat. then Monday...then I'll start testing everyday...just because I can LOL
I don't like anything on my feet. I have to keep my toenails painted (today is saphire blue) 365 because I hate shoes. Unless it's below 40 I won't wear shoes outside unless I'm going somewhere. So socks are a no for me.
I also wanted to tell you guys that my mom brought me some chocolate chip coffee from Hawaii...it's to die for!

[steph9803]

*sapphire, I knew it didn't look right :D
Aileen- I figured after dealing with the school stuff you would be pretty worn out. I think that my symptoms might just be SUPER PMS symptoms...but I hope not. I wonder how high it is going to go before AF shows or I get my BFP?

[ArmyPrincess819]

Lori- How romantic......Nice!

Quennspade- Mine would leave it on and watch it for a minute. I'm like hey look at me we are trying to make a baby here....Hello....

Bam- I got Vajj from vogue and it has stuck ever since. It depends on my mood somedays it's my who who and others it's privacy.  I agree with the lights....

LadyM84- Nice!

THANKS EVERYONE FOR ANSWERING MY QUESTION! IT'S FUN!

[Dani711]

Hello everyone, I am finally home!  Now I NEED to find a desk to type at up here, this laying on my tummy isn't working anymore.  So, it was funny that you all were talking about how much this site has helped.  For some reason, when I was taking a shower at the hotel yesterday morning and reflecting on how much you all have made ttc and the whole confusion with the begining of this pregnancy easier for me.  I realized that the reason I was able to handle those 2 weeks after they told me I had a m/c this time, and finally going back and finding out they were wrong...well I was able to handle it because I knew that no matter what happened, I knew you all were here to support me. Just something I really appreciate.
AND, there just isn't another forum like this one.  I can't wait for more of you to get their bfp's so we can start one together!  

Erica- I got pregnant the day after my AF the last time.  My cycle was weird because I had AF on Dec 21 then again on Jan 9th.  We don't know what happened but I knew when we bd'ed and I had to check for a tampon to see if I had one there because it was right at the end of my cycle.  My dates matched up to what I thought, so I think O can sometimes be just one of those rare weird timing things.

OK, so as some of you know, DH and I haven't bd'ed since I conceived, like forever ago it seems now.  We finally did the other day at the hotel room and it was so WEIRD for him.  It is just freaking him out.  He really thinks the baby is watching or something!!!  He gets in the mood, and then when he touches my tummy, sort of backs away.  So the other day, we finally did and he pulled out!  I said "you know I am already pregnant right?" LOL! and he said something to the effect that it was not right for the baby.  I don't even know what to do anymore.  He loves the baby like it is here and with us already which is great, but really, it is not sitting here chatting saying "I see you mom and dad"!   I hate to pressure him when it is so weird, so I am going to give it a little while and see what happens.

Oh, funny thing, the other day we were driving around in AZ trying to find a place that we both wanted to eat (of course trying to find a place to pee too) well, DH see's a hotdog stand and says that maybe he would just get one of them.  I asked him what me and the baby were supposed to eat if he went there and he said "so far all that baby has done is produce pee, I should just call it **** head for now on!!" It was actually pretty funny if you could imagine what a 16 hour road trip is like when it revolves around me finding places to pee!

Well, to the tww'ers, I am back and watching and waiting!
I missed you all and glad to be back!  

[bam1014]

Dani - glad to see you made it home safe!  LOL about the BD.  Seriously, at this point I'd be ordering my dr to write an Rx saying that you HAVE to!  I can't possible imagine going that long!!!

[steph9803]

Dani- I sure hope DH can get over that. I don't know about you, but like I told you before my sex drive went through the roof when I was pregnant. It's funny that he is thinking like that. My DH and I BD'd all the way up to the day I delivered. In the end I was just trying to soften my cervix so I could go into labor on my own...which didn't happen. Glad you're back :D Now you just need some more belly buddies!

[GMB08]

lol..i agree with bam!!!! i die if i dont get it daily........lol....glad your back dani! and glad your feeling well

[smr08]

Dani- Glad to see you back! What a funny story, after all that time he pulls out! MEN!
                      
Aileen- Now you have me craving homemade chicken soup(dh makes a mean chicken soup!)

                 Lori

[Cari227]

Hey everyone, I was hoping I could join your group. I m/c on jan 19th and my 1st a/f since showed up on wednesday. Now dh and I are back on track ttc again.

[steph9803]

Cari- Of course you can. It sure helps to pass the time while ttc. I hope we get to celebrate your BFP soon!

[bam1014]

Cari - Absolutely - the more the merrier :)  I start a new post every Saturday morning.  I'll be sure to add you to the list!

WELCOME

[nickswife]

bam- can you please add me on the list again? i just got my BFP today! AF was supposed to be due next wed, so im not even 4 weeks yet.hoping all will go well this time!
i know your day is coming too! hang in there!

[smr08]

Welcome Cari! You picked the best place to come. Everyone here is so supportive(and might I add funny) Best of luck TTC, hope it's a BFP real soon!

                                Lori

[bam1014]

nickswife - YAY YAY YAY CONGRATS.  We're averaging at least one BFP a week - how fantastic!

[Cari227]

Thanks everyone and I wish you all the best of luck too.

[Dani711]

congrats nickswife!!!  

bam- I will have to write you on FB when I can find a more comfortable position to type.  It seems like forever since we chatted!

steph- I hadn't wanted to bd for so long since I was so sick, but now my sex drive is through the roof!

GMB-everyday!  Wow...thats all I can really say to that LOL!

I think part of DH's problem is also that there is something really wrong going on.  We have been to the ER a couple of times (but it was the one here) so today we drove to a different one, and he backed out of going in until he gets insurance.  When he pulled out the other day there was blood in his sperm.  We have gone in the past because he was peeing straight blood and in severe pain, but they keep sending him home.  Now he is in so much pain.  I wonder if whatever is wrong is effecting his sex drive.

Lori- I think this group goes beyond the word funny!  Crazy maybe??  LOL!

[smr08]

Congratulations Nickswife! We love getting great news! I wish you a healthy and happy 9 months.

                            Lori

[Popcorn799]

Nickswife!! Congrats to you and your DH!!!! Great news!

We call each other hun most of the time and we are both totally nude in whatever place of the house it happens in.

No AF yet and 15dpo or should I say 15 days past when I got a smliey face on my opk.

[smr08]

Dani- I hope everything is fine with your DH, do you think that it could be a UTI? I know that when I use to get them the pain was unbearable and I would bleed, just a thought.

YAY Julie! 1 more day under your belt! Praying for you!

[BP0629]

Nickswife-CONGRATS & Happy belated V-day to you!!! Best present ever!!!!

Dani - you know how I go through withdrawl (withdrawal) without my "daily dose of dani"  I can't wait to hear about your trip!!

Julie - fingers crossed I get to put you on the bottom of the list tomorrow!

[smr08]

Bridgette- I hear those HPT's calling your name! Won't be long now. You deserve your BFP ASAP! We have to see if V-Day paid off. To bad I got the witches broom instead of cupids arrow!
                     Lori

I got AF Weds. Its so BLAH .. BUT I start my Gonal-F pen on SAT. And will have an IUI. has anyone heard or know how successful the iui 's are with injectables. I get the meds in the mail tomorrow and I'm so nervous .  

[ArmyPrincess819]

Nina- Best wishes to you and good luck. I do not have any experience hopefully one of the other ladies can be of more help...Let me know what happens....AP

[nina2249]

Thanks for the good wishes.Thanks for your info as well.

[smr08]

Nina- I wish I could help but I don't know much about them. But I can wish you luck and hope that everything works out well. Don't be nervous.

                                                     Lori

[mikaleen]

So returning quickly to our past TMI topic, I have a quick question...for those of you who said shaved...what do you do to prevent ingrown hairs?

Good luck Nina.  I don't know much abou *** either, but I hope it is very successful!

[nickswife]

AP & nina- thanks!!

[steph9803]

Nina- Sorry the witch had to show up. I don't know anything about IUI. Bam might know more. I wish you lots of luck!
Lori-  You've been awfully quiet today :D
Aileen- I use Nivea men's sensative shaving cream. That helps a ton. I have heard that putting a solid deoderant(sp) on helps too. What did they * out on your post?

[smr08]

Steph- I'm babysitting a 5 yr old and a 4 month old for the night. Holding the baby really makes me want another sooooooooooo bad! I miss all of this :(

[steph9803]

Lori- awww I'm jealous :D Me and you both will have our own sweet babies in our arms soon. When I was at my friends holding her 8 week old I didn't want to let him go. I told her I was going to keep him LOL I smelled like a baby the rest of the day. Oh, how I miss it.

[LadyM84]

Hey everyone sorry i havent been on much lately my fiance has a week of work bless him so i'm not getting on as much but ive been thinking about you all and i'll try to get on at least once a day to see how you all are ,

LOVE YOU GUYS XX

[kgokgo]

Ok, I don't even know where to start. I missed MH for a day and now I can't keep up!

nickswife-congrats. Wishing you a happy nine months!

Dani-nice to have you back. Hope you had agood trip. Too funny about your dh worrying about watching. I couldn't help imagining the baby in your tummy sitting on a rocker, dummy in the mouth wondering what on earth is happening here. With my two, I usually got really sexually charged as soon as the m/s subsides and I wonder what would happen if dh worries about being watched by the baby. I think I'll look for Aileen's zip ties or Steph's pentyhose....lol

Steph and Julie- fingers tightly crossed here.

To all newbies-welcome, the women here are amazing.

Ok, Like Steph- I'm called mummy and I call him daddy. It must be something to do with 10 years of marriage and two kids.
He has no name for my baby down there but I call his chucky.
Definitely no socks on. He looks ridiculous with only socks on and nothing else. I don't do them either.

Erica- nice to have you back. Have been wondering about you.

[mikaleen]

Dani...my Dr. told me with Mikayla that BDing puts the babies to sleep a lot of time...the rocking motion, you know.

[ArmyPrincess819]

Nickswife- How are you feeling?

Lady- I'm feeling good which is a first. LOL. I'm actually going out for a walk to today I'm going to start to excercise. Can you believe it? I never thought I would be writing that witth this pg. Thanks so much for asking....

AP

[smr08]

Jenny- So glad to hear that you'll be out and about. I guess your feeling better? I'm sooo happy for you, enjoy your walk!!

                     (((hugs))) Lori

[ArmyPrincess819]

Lori- You are the bomb. thanks for all your support! I wish I could give you a big hug! Thanks......


To the rest of my ladies on this thread. I think it would be fun if those of you who are using your ovualtion trackers to use the ticker and those of you who are pg use the ticker too. I think on the thread it would be cool to see where everyone is! Let me know your thoughts!!!!!

[ArmyPrincess819]

Again I personally choose not to use it on posts by women who are grieving but on the thread the atmosphere is alilttle bit lighter,,,,,,,

[bam1014]

Good morning ladies!  As soon as I finish this post, I'll start working on the new CB thread.

Nina - sorry I don't know much about injectables, however IUI will be our next step, so I'll be interested to see how this all works for you.  You can try posting your ? in the fertility forum,

Aileen - Hmm, I don't get ingrown hairs.  DH just use a plain Wahl razer.

[mikaleen]

Steph...I have no idea what they * on my post...Geez, the things we talk about and some silly word that wasn't inappropriate gets *.

[nickswife]

AP- i'm doing good, just really tired right now..i go for the 2nd part of my bloodwork on monday, hopefully the hcg is rising! thats what was always the problem twice before so i am a little nervous..but positive. i am jealous that you went for a walk! i cant wait til the weather gets nice here cause thats what i am waiting to do! this snow is for the birds! LOL

[nina2249]

Thanks ladies for the info.Hope everyones has a great weekend.

[ArmyPrincess819]

nickswife- That is what you need to do. Stay positive. I always have low numbers with all my pgs. It is not uncommon. Just take things a day at a time. I'm the opposite I wasn't tired at the beginning but I'm exhausted now! Best wishes to you let me know what happnes......
