Morning All!! At work, bored to death! Thought i'd check in to see how everyone is doing
I'm waiting for my customers from he**!!!

Steph- Great job! It was starting to take a while for things to load.

[queenspade]

Thanks & Great Job!!  I am praying for a bunch of BFP's this month!!!!

[queenspade]

Lori....you beat me this morning!!! LOL  How are things with you?

[steph9803]

Hey girls! It looks like a lot of us will be testing in the same week this coming month!

[nickswife]

Great job Steph!! Come on girls, I need belly buddies!!!

[mapes10]

Hey guys.  Sorry I've been MIA lately.  I've been reading but not posting because life is CRAZY!!!  I have been at softball tournaments and getting ready to turn in grades, my son had the flu last week, and I had to go for an urgent visit yesterday because of pelvic/cervical pressure.  Luckily things are doing well and it's still a boy!!!  I love the new tickers, and I have to admit that I have blushed while reading some of the recent topics at work lol!!!  Hope everyone's doing okay today!!!  We need some more BFPs soon, so bam, hazeleyez, mikaleen, emptyinside let's hope we get good news soon!!!

[ArmyPrincess819]

Bam, Lori, and Aileen- I'm sorry I ddin't thank you right away. I was so tired yesterday. I want you to know that I think you are so supportive and sweet. Monday was a really hard day and yesterday you made sure to see how I was doing. Thank you.....

Everyone else thank you for all your support as well. I hope everyone is doing good!

[mikaleen]

Thanks for the new post, Steph.

So I couldn't hold out anymore and I tested this morning at 12 DPO with a $ store test and got a BFN.  My temps are still up over 99, but I think that's normal for me in the luteal phase anyway, though my coverline is 97.9.  I have terrible heartbearn from everything I eat (of course I've been eating junk), and I thought yogurt was supposed to help with heartburn because it has calcium?  Not too optimistic, but not over until the stupid COW moos.  Good luck to everyone!

[GMB08]

awesome job steph....thanks for the post....yes..alot of us will be in the tww 2g............ahh..the torture.....so heres a question for all of you who will be ttc here in the next week or so...what method is everyone going to try..if any??????

[steph9803]

Erica's b-day is Friday!!!! Do we have anymore b-days coming up??

Aileen- I'm still counting on you having late implantation :D I usually drink a little bit of milk for heartburn..
mapes- Is everything okay? My sister has had that really bad this pregnancy...

[steph9803]

Gina- I'm going to try to chart my temps and BD every other day...

Brandy- I hope your day gets a little better *HUGS*

[GMB08]

so bd everyother day as soon as u can start..or just during that time?

[smr08]

Jenn- alls well with me, how about you? I was so slow at work that as soon as I got here I was on! I see we're only 3 days apart!

Nickswife- Hopefully i'll get to be your belly buddy! BTW, what is your name?

Melissa- glad to hear that everything is well. How could you not blush with those topics????

Jenny- Hope you have a relaxing and cheerful day :)

Aileen- good moto! Don't give up, stay positive! My fingers are crossedxxxxxxxx

Gina- I'm using the "BIBLE METHOD" I'll be praying my heart out!!! LOL

Steph- what did you have for breakfast this morning??????????????

[steph9803]

Gina- Probably every other day starting at CD8 and if we get any inbetween that..great...but if not I'm not going to stress. BD'ing every day hasn't got me anywhere in the past few months.
Lori- Coffee and almonds...I'm so sleepy I'm about to get some more coffee. I'll second that method!

[bam1014]

Well it's officially a BFN for me.  Got the beta done yesterday at the dr's and she called this morning :(  Now just waiting for the COW.

I'm in complete turmoil over what to do this next cycle.  On one hand I've been saying we are going to take a break.  But it's not like the BD'ing is getting to us.  Neither one of us is complaining.  The OPK'ing isn't stressful and I've still got enough digis left for this next cycle.  I'm done with the Clomid, but see no reason not to try the Femara.  Plus the HSG is supposed to "boost" your fertility for 3-6 mos, so why wouldn't I want to take advantage of that.  So what do I take a break from?  And don't say MH, cause I'm an addict.

The top priority is for DH to get his s/a done.  He was very well aware that Feb was his last shot at "hooking me up" as he put it.  I think if anything, we will BD less.  If I remember correctly from my BFP cycle, we only did it like 3 times around O time.  I've been reading about low sperm counts and what not.  They suggest every 3 days, but how the heck to do you time that with O??

Lori - LOL

[steph9803]

bam- I read last night that if a man takes Clomid it helps his swimmers...Have you ever heard that? You're right you can't leave MH...I'd be too sad.

[bam1014]

Thanks for the new post Steph - YOU DA BOMB !!  :)

[BP0629]

Steph-thanks for thinking of me

MAPES!!!! SO glad to see you on here. I was just thinking about you lastnight. How are you? Is everything going ok w/u?

I have a confession....I did a BAD BAd Bad thing this morning...I POAS. BBBBFFFN. I know I'm only 7DPO, BUT after the dream the night before & the fact that AF came on the 27th last month I thought I'd try...As if I wasn't down enough, It was the icing on the cake. I know I know I know still way early but the test was calling my name. I went to $store later this morning & bought some more cheapies. *darn defective test*

I honestly don't know what dh & I will try this coming month. The boot(y) camp rabbit method doesn't seem to be working. *lol* I'd like to say that i'm not going to use OPKs this month, but part of me still thinks I should so I know that I "am" O'ing & when. I don't know enough about CM to track it & I don't have a clue about the temp taking thing. Perhaps I'll just stand on my head after the deed & use the Bible methog as Lori mentioned. I've been reading POAS.com & the sperm meets egg thing & its all telling me stuff i've learned from you lovely ladies so i'm open for suggestions!!!!

AP-i feel bad....what happened yesterday? I saw where you were thanking everyone for checking on you. Did I miss something??? Sorry. :-(

Steph-thanks for the new thread! That other one was a little long & SLOW!!!! you're the bomb diggity!

Mikaleen-Don't throw the towel in until that dirty little COW shows herself! We need some BFPs!!!

Nickswife-How are you feeling? Any sickness?

[GMB08]

bam....since the hsg boosts fertility..i think u better keep on keepin on and take full  advantage! i dont know what we are doing this cycle either.......................i think we all stress too much.......but what else can we do? sorry bam for your bfn..they truly suck!

[mikaleen]

Brandy...7DPO you probably haven't even implanted yet!!  When I got pregnant with DD I did stand on my head and use Lori's "Bible method"  It worked so maybe I'll have to try it again.  

I think I am also going to try the preseed, and OPK again this month, I'm not even sure I O'd on day 14 like my chart says...that's an odd day for me...never have before day 16 before, so I'm not sure what to think.

Lori...Will we be seeing less of you while in Boot(y) camp?  Good luck!

[mikaleen]

Wow...I don't know how that happened.

Bam...sorry about the BFN =(  How do you feel about finding out early through the blood work?  Will you do that again next time, or will you just POAS?

I read earlier about the men with clomid too.  I really hope that the femara helps you.  

[nickswife]

Lori- to answer your question, you can can call me Gigi

Emptyinside- i am somewhat sick, i get nausea here and there, very tired, boobs are sore as heck!

So you guys are talking about which method to approach to conceive..here was my cycle i got my BFP, if you care... ok i have short cycles, they have been around 23-26 days. LMP was Jan 30. gone on the 1st of jan. we BD'ed Jan 2,3,5,8, on the 9th i got a pos opk also BD'ed that day the 9th, 10 and 11th, 14th, 17th,got a faint faint pos on a sensitive test on the 19th and used a digital on the 20th. my levels that day were only 27.76 and it showed up on a EPT digital. i believe that less is more when trying to conceive. just wanted to give you guys an idea cause i really want some belly buddies!!

[nickswife]

DUH! sorry i goofed! i meant af was gone FEB1 and we BD'ed on those dates in FEB- sorry!

[BP0629]

Mikaleen...Ok so I might feel stupid for asking, what is preseed? & I know 7DPO is early, but I couldn't help it. Curiosity got the best of me. Plus like I said AF came on the 27th last month which would only put her a couple days away from showing her ugliness. Then I had some weirdness going on with the OPKs & if they were right, AF was early in January & then I O'd late this month by 2 days I think (even though AF was early). So I don't know...just wishful thinking maybe. No more test for awhile for me.

[smr08]

Bridgette- I'm so mad!!! That really s**ks! I just couldn't wait for you to post BFP. Like Gina said "Keep on keepin on! Maybe we should all just do it when the feelings right, maybe we're trying to hard if that makes any sense??

                ((((((BIG HUGS)))))    Lori

[smr08]

Aileen- can't get me away from here that easy I don't wanna miss anything(I can always take my new laptop to bed with me)LOL!

Gigi- I agree, we didn't bd alot when I got pg the other times

[mikaleen]

Brandy...I didn't know what it was either until I met the lovely ladies on here.  It's a lubricant that is supposed to be PH balanced to match seminal fluid exactly, to help keep sperm alive for the longer range, to hopefully aid in conceiving.  I don't know that I really need it, but I have read so many women saying thst's the one thing they did different the cycle they got their BFP, so why not try it?  I think also, if you have a shorter luteal phase, it doesn't help to test early.  When it says test 4 days before period, they base it on a 14 day luteal phase.  Implantation would still take place around the same time frame after O, so if you have a 12 day luteal phase testing 4 days early at 8dpo, probably wouldn't work.  

[mikaleen]

But I also know being the POAS addict we are, all the rationalizing in the world won't keep us from breaking open those tests...=)

[mikaleen]

Lori..wow, that would be a fetish I haven't heard of before...  So if you have a lot of typos on here, I'll know why?

[smr08]

Aileen-LMAO! Can you imagine the look on DH's face, he can hardly get me away from all of you as it is.

[queenspade]

Things are going pretty well for me too.  Work has been picking up so I try & keep us with you girls on here through out the day.  DH is SUPER excited to start booty camp, he is even checking my tracker for O day and everything else.  He says he wants to know which days he needs "to put in work".  :)  He is even posting about it on his myspace, his friends have NO idea what he is talking about.  I noticed you & I were really close this cycle.  Fingers crossed we will be belly buddies soon!!

Jenn

[bam1014]

Aileen and Lori - you guys are so funny.  You always make me laugh.  Here I am trying to fight back the tears and I read about Lori's typos - too funny LOL.  Thanks I really needed that!

Aileen - I was happy to get the beta done.  I just wanted to know for sure.  It lets me get a jump on bugging DH about his s/a.  Besides why pay for an HPT when my insurance will cover the bloodwork?  I don't know that I'll do it again anytime soon, as when I switch to the Femara I won't need to go in for the end of cycle cysts check like I did with the Clomid.  The next 3 months I'm going to be dr free!

Hey, that's what I can take a break from - being poked and prodded!!

As far as the Femara helping me, I don't think I'm the side of the equation that needs to be helped at this point (expect for the CM issue).  I'm just trying to put out as many targets as I can.  I have read about Clomid for men too.  It has something do to with estrogen levels.  But we won't know any of that until the s/a.  I swear if he doesn't get it done I'm calling a good divorce lawyer!

Gigi (I like that name) thanks for posting the details.  I'm always immensely curious when somebody gets a BFP how they got there.

All right, lunch break over, back to work!

[smr08]

Jenn- Thats funny! I wonder if he uses our lingo, can you imagine his friends, what the h**l is BFP-BFN- POAS-CM! LOL

Bridgette- So glad to make you laugh! Sometimes it pays to be crazy!

[ArmyPrincess819]

Lori- Thanks so much....How are you doing?

Emptyinside- No not at all. I was just saying thanks to the girls who sent me a hug. How are you doing?

Big hugs,
Jenny

[CacyMichelle]

Thanks Steph! I'm actually 14 weeks, somewhere I got put a week behind! Thank you for putting up all the info!

[mikaleen]

Bam...always glad to provide some comic relief.  I know you are all good to go on your side...I just hope maybe the femara helps you put out so many eggs that at least one gets caught.  (Not too many to confuse the sperm though).  I hope you only have to go one month Dr. free.  I hope next month you are getting poked for a beta b/c you get a + hpt!

I tweaked a temp on FF, for a day I had taken 2 temps.  The lower one put me at O on CD14, and when I tried it for kicks with the higher one today it put me at O on CD 20.  I don't think my temps are too reliable, (well, my temp taking practices)  so I think I am really clueless, and have absolutely no idea how many DPO I am.  Next month it's back to the OPK's.

[BP0629]

Bam-sorry about the bloodwork. thats a bummer *HUGS* now tell hubby its his turn to put something in a cup & see what the test shows *lol* I have a close friend who is going through the whole can't get pregnant thing. She changed to my OB/Gyn & he advised she lose some weight & just did a dye test w/x-ray on her tubes to make sure they're open & functioning. He told her it was a painful procedure & as long as she's putting her body through this her hubby should get his stuff tested now (before they go through all the costly methods of 'fixing' her when his swimmers could be the problem. I felt so happy for them when he was willing to check both of them out in the beginning. I don't understand why some drs jump to the conclusion that its something on the womens side thats wrong & let couples invest thousands of dollars before checking the swimmers. I agree w/the other girls...tell dh here's your cup & oh by the way honey, Its on like donkey kong!!! *lol*

AP-I'm ok. I'm an emotional ball of goo the last few days w/out any clue why. I was afraid that something had happened & I missed it in the 150+ post thread we had going. I'm so happy to hear that you're doing well. You & your little bean are often in my thoughts. Here ((HUG)) & I owe you one ((HUG))

Mikaleen-so where does one find this preseed stuff & have any of the girls on here w/ BFPs gotten their success from it???

[mikaleen]

I didn't order it yet, I'm going to google it and see what I come up with.  I'll let you!  I'm not sure if any of the ladies here have successfully used it.

[steph9803]

Brandy- The month Dani got her BFP she used preseed. I was wondering where to get it too. Do you have to get it online?
Aileen- The suspense is killing me!
CacyMichelle- I tried looking on your profile, but couldn't find it anywhere. Have you had the u/s yet?
Gigi- Thanks for the info! It's nice to know what works.
bam- I'm all up for not getting poked and proded. *hugs*
Lori- I completely agree with doing it when it feels right instead of scheduling it so much.
Jenn- How funny...DH checking your O tracker...Is he sending comments or messages on myspace LOL I could imagine some people getting confused if it's on his page :D


Okay you guys...I was talking about getting some OPK's...What is the cheapest yet accurate way to go?

[queenspade]

DH is using it in his myspace moods.  Like today's....O day in 1 week.  Come on BABY!!!  His mood...HOPEFUL.  He is just too cute!

[bam1014]

Just google preseed and you'll find their website.  At the website then you can find local retailers - or you can just order it online.  I'm thinking I might give the preseed another shot as well.

Brandy - yes the procedure you described is the HSG I went through on my birthday.  NOT a pleasant experience.  Every single one of my dr's give me a lecture about DH's s/a every single time I come in.  That's always the thing they want to test first, since it is the most least invasive.  If I continue in my grumpy ways - darn skippy DH will be hearing an earful from me tonight!!

[BP0629]

Mikaleen-I googled it & it came right up. Not to costly at all. Might give it a shot next round when/if af shows her face.

Bam-You go girl! My friends hubby did his job last monday. The dr let him do it @ home & run it into the office so they could use "any method of extraction" they saw fit. LOL She had her test on Monday & said it was pretty painful. One tube was completely open. She said the liquid flowed just fine & created a 'pond' like effect at the end which was good. The other side trickled thru even when dr increased flow/pressure & only did a creek effect & very small collection. He told her it could just be closed this month. Her AF just started last monday. They both go in next monday to get the results of her labs & discuss her procedure & get the numbers on his swimmers. Any advice for her. She's only 22 & her hubby is my hubby's bf...he's 33 & a twin (so she doesn't want clomid).

Well i've been reading alot of sites online today. Its always wonderful to read about MCs & conception when you're bummed out of your mind. I kinda like the method on sperm meets egg...it doesn't seem as stressful as boot(y) camp (no offense AP). We just have a lot of late nights & I have to be up way early for work & its exhausting sometimes...LOL

Everyone seems to be firm believers in the digital ovulation test. Where can I get them the cheapest, when do I start testing (for best results), & how many do you suggest getting?

Boy i'm just full of questions aren't I? (look there I go w/ another one)

[hazleyez]

Great job steph. and i still have no AF and I have my fingers crossed still but I am not feeling PG or AF symptoms ;0(  I am just gonna go crazy by the end of the month if AF dont show up adn im not PG I just wish I could get some straight answers and everything ;0(

[EricaB28]

Thanks Steph!! Great job on the new thread :D
I have no idea what CD I'm on today and it feels a little liberating, lol! Oh, great,now I'm going to have to check my tracker......Hope you are all doing well! Tonight is LOST night, so I'm in a great mood :D
Bam-- Sorry to hear about the blood test coming back neg :( I'm praying that you'll get your BFP soon sweetie :)
Hope you are all having a great Wednesday!! I'll ttyl :D

[steph9803]

Has anyone used the OPK's from Early-Pregnancy-Tests.com?

Amanda- I was thinking about you earlier. I'm still praying for that BFP!
Jenn- That's so cute!

[bam1014]

Brandy - No, I guess I really don't have any advice.  It all depends on how the tests come out.  How long have they been TTC and does she have irregular cycles or PCOS?  As far as twins go, and I only know this b/c I researched it for my sister . . . There are 2 types of twins.  The first is identical and that's when the egg splits in two - they are pretty rare.  The second is fraternal and that's the kind that pass down through generation, however it's on the woman's side.  It means that she is genetically dispossed to produce more then one egg in a cycle.  So it really makes no differance that they are on his side - if that helps at all.

As far as digi's go, the only brand I have found is Clear Blue.  I get them at Wal-Mart for $30 for 7.  But if you know you're cycles - you can stretch them out for 2 months.  There are directions in the box on when to start, but just like all other things, they make the assumption of a typical 28 day cycle in which you would O on CD14.

Hope that helps some - I'm going to meet up with DH, so catch you guys later :)

[mikaleen]

I can't find the digital OPK's anywhere around me.  Not even Walmart.  With my POAS addiction, I would probably use them all in one cycle, oh wait, I did that last month.  I got my + after 3 tries with them, but pee'd on the remaining 4 just because I could =)  Where else could I find digital?  Not any of the grocery stores around me, or Walmart.  I'm wondering maybe Walgreen's, but that's WAY out of my way.

[smr08]

Amanda- Don't go by pg symptoms, some people dont get them. Mine didn't start for a few months. Keeping my fingers crossed. We need BFP's soon!

Erica- Hi there! We are just addicted to every part of this site! I'm an Idol fan (i'm such a geek!)

Aileen- Better hide all the popcicle sticks in your house! LOL

[bam1014]

Steph - I think maybe nunu did.  I remember her saying she got some off of the internet.

Lori and Aileen - LMAO.  I can just see Aileen sucking on a popsicle just so she has a stick all the while you're BD'ing and typing at the same time.

Aileen - you should just get a fertility monitor.  I hear you can POAS all cycle long.  You can get them on E-Bay fairly cheap and that's what helped CacyMichelle get her BFP.

[natalie910]

Steph-thanks for adding me to the list!
Bam-Sorry about the bfn, maybe the new med will be a good thing.

I did find a new ob/gyn and I see him on Friday. Maybe then I can move forward. We want to ttc after a/f, I'm tired of waiting and not getting any younger. A december baby would be fine by me :)

[smr08]

See Bridgette, We won't let you frown! Isn't it nice to have goofballs as friends??? My DH does tell me i'm a multi-tasker! LOL

Natalie- I hope everything goes well on Friday and you like your new ob/gyn. I'll be praying you get your Dec. baby.

[ArmyPrincess819]

Brandy- Thank you. I'm sorry you have been sad. I hope you feel better soon. Sometimes we need a good cry even if it's all day. Best wishes to you and I hope you get your bfp soon!

Hugs,
Jenny

[nickswife]

steph- i always used the OPK's from that site, i even got them off ebay for cheaper. i love them! i would start about cd6 then i could tell when i was about to ovulate, when the line staring getting darker i would test twicw a day then, and when i got a dark line almost as dark as the testing line i would use a digital, i dont know why just seeing the smiley made it all confirmed. then i also use the preg tests from there too, the same way i did the opk's, when i got a faint line i used a digital to confirm! thats how i how preggers these last 2 times on my 3rd and 4th cycles after my mc's. i swear by both of them. they are ALOT cheaper so you can test as much as you want, i get like 25 of them each at a time. i actually had some pg tests left and am still using them and the line keeps getting darker and darker and thats kinda makin me feel better cause then that means my hcg levels are going up, make sense? tonight i also used a opk just for the heck of it and turned way darker than the test line really quick, it was kinda funny. anything else let me know!

[sakers1985]

okay i posted on the other thread .. how retarded am I?  anywho.. I hope all is well with everyone... I am having some wierd pains on my left side.. idk what they are... maybe AF? I think i am going to break down and test Friday morning.. since Saturday is my birthday ( the big 24) and I dont want to drink if I am carrying a little one...  Iam still scared to test... *sigh* okay I am done for the night have to take my father in law to the doc tomorrow... I wish best for everyone!!!

sheena

[steph9803]

GOOD MORNING ladies!

Gigi- Thank you so much. That's great news for me. I just can't make myself spend a fortune on OPK's right now...the HPT's are an added bonus. I just wanted to make sure that they are legit. I'll probably do the same if I get my BFP with all of the POAS's. I'm too addicted to stop anyways...might as well use them to make sure things are going in the right direction :D Before my m/c I would have never thought about taking a HPT after I got a BFP.
Sheena- Good luck with the testing...My anniversary is on the 4th so I was happy that if AF had to come at all she came early enough for me to know I can have a couple of drinks at dinner :P
Natalie- I already have one Dec. baby...so watch me finally get my BFP this month LOL

[GMB08]

good am girls..hope you are all well......hope all of you with your bfp are safe and sound....cant wait to see the baby pics! bam..how are you ....happy early ann steph! yes..a glass of red wine sounds lovely!

[mikaleen]

Bam...You mean there's something out there that would need me to POAS every day?  And you're just enlightening me now??

I'm kidding.  I've heard of them, but on one of the older threads someone was talking about their's and how they didn't like it so they sold it on ebay.  I don't remember who.  Maybe if I hit 6 months I'll try it.  I might try the internet cheapies this month.

Good morning to everyone!

[mikaleen]

Bam- I wanted to ask you too, did you find out from your Dr if there is anything besides Tylenol you can take?  It doesn't do anything for me either, and I can't get rid of this headache..I'm worried it's going to turn into a migraine.

[steph9803]

Gina- Thanks..I can't make up my mind where I want to go eat at..decisions...decisions :P
Aileen- You can't take anything other than tylenol for pain if you might be pregnant. I had some pretty bad headaches before I found out I was pregnant last time! I looked on ebay like Gigi suggested and they are cheaper on there. Did you temp this morning?

[bam1014]

Gina - just taking it one day at a time at this point.  I'm still in a really foul mood, but half of that is due to having to work with stupid people.

Aileen - no, I totally forgot to ask if there was anything besides Tylenol.  I really don't think there is . . .

Think of all the cute X-Mas outfits for a Dec baby :)

Morning Ladies!

[mikaleen]

Temp was 99.1.  FF has me at 83.  I gave in and used the digital this morning and got a big fat NO, so unless O day is off (which it very well could be) I have a BFN 13DPO.

[steph9803]

FF only went up to 80 with me. At least that wasn't a big drop..I remember you were on medicine right before O..were you sick and maybe that delayed O?

[smr08]

Morning Ladies!!

Sheena- Hope you get a BFP for your B-day! Good Luck!

Steph- what Anniversary will this be?

Bridgett-Tylenol S*CKS!! It's like taking a sugar pill. I know what you mean about stupid people, you should see what I deal with!

Aileen- Still looking for things to pee on? LOL

[mikaleen]

Nah...nothing that would delay O.  I just think that my temp taking might not be accurate way to pinpoint it.  I definately need the OPK's or I'll just be guessing.  All I can do is see if AF shows tomorrow like she should if I did O on day 14.  I think FF only has me at 83 because of the triphasic pattern.  It didn't work for you anyway, so I'm not that confident in it's predictions.

Lori..it's always good to be able to multi-task.  That's how I can watch Lost whil DH is looking for affection.  Otherwise I'd have to maim him.  Man, now we'll all never know what you're doing while you're writing us.

Sheena... Happy early Birthday!  A BFP would be a nice present =)

I wouldn't pee on a popsicle stick unless it would give me some lines!  I AM a little discriminatory!

[steph9803]

Lori- 11th!  I don't like tylenol. I had to explain to my sister last week that she had to go get some ibprofin if she wanted to get rid of her sons fever...she didn't believe me until she did it and his fever went away.
Aileen- Mine was purely from symptoms not my temps..because I had just temped for a week last month. I was having a good bit of pregnancy symptoms last week....so you'll have a better reading.
If you pee on the popsicle sticks with the riddles you'll get a laugh out of it at the same time you're fulfilling your addiction LOL

[mikaleen]

I can just picture DH walking in on that!  He'd have me committed!  I don't know if I'd be able to read it at the same time I'm peeing on it.  I'm not as good at multi-tasking as Lori is. =)

If I can't get rid of this headache I'm going to call the Dr. and ask if it's ok if I take one of my Vicodin.  I was prescribed it during my pregnancy with Mikayla, and was told the codeine doesn't cross the placenta, so if on the off chance I am pg it won't get to the embryo.  If it felt like it was getting beter instead of worse I'd let it go another day, but at this rate I'll be in agaony by tonight.  I'm already hallucinating, seeing colors and double.

[Dani711]

steph- I try not to post much on here since it fills up so fast, but I do loiter and read all the posts everyday.  I am not ignoring you all, just enjoying the literature!
The month I got my bfp was the only time I used pre-seed.  I got it late in the mail though,(paid $30 to get it over nighted and it took 4 days) so the only thing we did different that month was bd a day later then normal since we had the pre-seed.  We be the day of the pos OPK, the day after AND the day after that.  I think I may O really late maybe???  I have boxes left, but DH loved it.  Now If I could convince him that the baby is not watching us, we are not hurting the baby, and nothing is going to get into the baby, just MAYBE he will start wanting sex again!  Right now he is still in major testicle pain, and quit chewing tobacco...what a treat he is...but hopefully some day we will get our sex life back!

[kgokgo]

Hey guys, hope everyone is ok. I haven't been feeling too well the past couple of days but I just wanted to check in..

Keep the hope going.

SSBD everyone.

[smr08]

Steph- mine is 3/15 18yrs, we're together almost 23yrs! Ibuprofin is all we use. Good one about the riddles!LOL

Aileen- You'll know how good I am at multi tasking if you see me on med help after midnight! Thats the best time for us to do the deed. It's hard with adults living with you, DD heard us once and said we were gross, go figure! LOL Hope your headache gets better!

[mikaleen]

Dani...tell DH that just like walking BD'ing puts the baby to sleep.  That's what the Dr. told me anyway...the rocking motion.

[BP0629]

mikaleen-i have fybromyalgia & was on Lyrica for it for quite sometime. when i became preg w/twins all the drs told me stop immediately. (its still too new to know what side effects it might pass on). i have A LOT of body aches & pains. all of my drs know we're TTC & my OB/GYN both told me it is safe for me to take percocet &/or Loratab while TTC & even during pregnancy if need be. Both of them said that narcotics are the safest pain pills to take during preg. The main things to watch for is the frequency of use (you don't want to becaome addicted nor do you want baby to be). I'm super paranoid about taking anyting while preg or TTC so I consulted my ob/gyn, family dr, & my pain specialist & asked the question of safety to each & they all gave the same answer. I obviously try to suck up the pain as long as possible (a 30 day supply can last several months for me) - i'm not a pill person. I suggest letting the dr know you're TTC & need the safest pain reliever they have. I even googled percocet while ttc & whle pregnant yesterday & the majority of hits say it is safe (when used w/comon sense) & there is no proof that is linked to cause MC. Hope it helps!

[Dani711]

mikaleen- HA, if I told him that, he would be convined that bd'ing def did effect the baby in some way.  You should have seen how awkward it was for him when we bd'ed a couple of weeks ago.  It was like the first time ever.  Then when we finally were getting into it, I was afraid to tell him he was squishing the baby by laying on top of me LOL!    All these years together and NOW sex is awkward!!

kgokgo- Morning sickness?

[sakers1985]

Hey Ladies!!
   Everything here is fine.. the pain on my left side went away... hmm who knows whats going on with me. All of you know how screwed up your body is after  m/c or in my case a still born. I laugh at DH when he is like.. how are you feeling, whats your body doing, is it time to BD?? I told him just to BD when we want to... I am not forcing it anymore. I sill havent tested.. I dont know if I want to but then again I want to. We are going to a Japanese resturant for my birthday and I am not sure about anything else. My OBGYN proscribed me Darvacet (spelling) during my pregnancy.. well we didnt know i was preggo but she said just in case it would be fine.
Thanks for all the early bday wishes!! I hope to get the results that I want
Happy BDing to all and hopfully there will be some BFP's around here.
Sheena

[peterjl]

I'm finally CD2.  I'm not sure what I'll do this month- I have a doctor's appt in early March.  It's been almost 13 months since my loss, so I'm starting to be negative.  My DH doesn't understand why I get so disappointed with all this.  I have a December child already and would actually like another.  I lost my baby on Dec 13 of 2007- it would be special to have a healthy baby around that time.

[smr08]

Mary- I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you get your beautiful healthy baby in December! I know it's been a while but try to stay positive.

                     Lori

[LadyM84]

hey everyone hope all is well with you lot x i'm really chuffed today i finally got my smiley on my opk after 3 days of testing i know it doesnt mean anything but its a start , ive started taking magnesium now so hope that helps, if it doesnt happen for me this month tough i'm not buying 1 again if i can help it the bfn on the opks are nearly as depressing as the pg test x sorry i havent been on much lately but dan is back at work now so i can have my pc back x
Bam sorry to hear about BFN  ,i pray it will happen for you soon
Lori how are you , i missed chatting to you
Steph how are you ??
Emptyinside are you feeling better today ??
sakers whens your birthday have a good one  x
p.s i also posted in the other thread duhhhh , Thankyou for telling me Lori x

[7preg3b]

wow great job...  bfp to us all soon..  

[bam1014]

peterjl - I know that it's impossible, but try not to get too disappointed.  Are you doing natural cycles or fertility treatments?

Lisa - what is the magnesium for?

Sheena - happy early B-Day!

[peterjl]

Right now, we are doing natural- that's part of the problem.  I don't think I'm really ovulating.  I've always wanted to actually be able to conceive when  we are trying and have it happen easily, but I guess God has other plans.  Good luck to you and I truly hope you get your BFP soon!

[smr08]

Lisa- No problem, I didn't want to see you over there all by yourself!

7preg3b- Hopefully it will be soon! Hey, I don't think we ever got your name, do you mind?

[mikaleen]

All right ladies...I just purchased 6 tubes of preseed...15 OPK's and 10 HPT's online.  I'm good for 3 months (hopefully it won't take that long.  Now I need an early afternoon fuzzy navel.  I wish I could be 100% sure I'm not pg.  I'm only 99.5% sure so my desparate housewives afternoon cocktail will unfortunately have to wait.  

Brandy..I'm sorry to hear about the Fibromyalgia...I knew a few women who have it and I could see how painful it was at times.  I took the Vicodin once a week in my last few weeks with my dd because of a couple herniated discs I have.  Even though my ob prescribed it and said it wasn't a concern I didn't take it often.  I still have some from my last m/c so I called and asked if I could take one and she said yes, so at least my headache has receded to a dull throb.  I don't like taking too much stuff either.

Sheena...I took Darvocet when I first hurt my back when I was 20.  Unfortunately it took more and more to help feel better, and I didn't become addicted to the point where I had to have it, but I did have difficulty for a while trying to get to sleep when I stopped taking it.  

[Latrice414]

Hey ladies, just wanted to come in and see how everyone is doing, i was down with a cold flu like bug and swore i was gona die, ughhhh it was horrible, espeically when u cant take much to get rid of it.  I ll be 11 weeks 2mrw, i did rent a doppler and been checking for the baby heartbeat once a week to ease my mind:)  Today i feel good, hope i dont jinks myself lol.

Dont give up ladies, remember its only a 20-30%chance each month a woman has to get preggo, so keep bd'n on fertile days and try to bd day of O and a few days after O.  Sending much SSBD to everyone

[smr08]

Aileen- I'll join you for that fuzzy navel (1 of my favorites) Although it doesn't sound to appealing!

[steph9803]

Have you girls had the Bacardi O's? That's my favorite. I've had quite a few this week.
Latrice- Glad to see you're feeling better :D

[smr08]

Steph- I basically like everything in a bottle except beer, blah! My favorite is Smirnoff Ice.

Latrice- Boy 11wks already!

[Dani711]

Aileen- the month I got my bfp, well before that O time I bought boxes of pre-seed, O tests and pregnancy tests.  I also got 6 months suppy of my pre-natels and folic acid.  I was holding off incase when I got my bfp my dr. would change the mg's of my pills.  Well, I guess it worked because now I have tons of left over stuff!  Good luck!

[steph9803]

Dani- I remember that LOL You need to spread some of that baby dust around that you got with it :P
Lori- I like some dark beers..but I just started drinking beer in the past year or two.

[mikaleen]

My favorite beer is brewed in Colorado.  It's called fat tire, and it's an ale.  I want one so bad but they don't ship it east of the Mississippi River.  My friend is putting together an order next week b/c he found a liquor store that illegally ships it to NJ so I told him to go ahead and order some for me, and if I happen to get a BFP he can have it.  I like some of the microbrewed IPA's too.  Magic hat, and rogue brewery are a couple of my favs.

[smr08]

Dani- I agree with Steph, there are a few of us around here that could really use it!

Aileen- I really hope you have to wait like 9 months before you can have that beer, and I mean that in the nicest way!

[natalie910]

Hi girsl, I've been trying to stay busy today. It's raining and dark out, Yuck! Well since I haven't even had my first a/f yet, I just may have a corona. I can't really drink anything other than beer or wine, everything else usually ends up causing me to be dizzy and sick. Margaritas are good though.

Lori-thanks for the encouragement on a December baby, I'm a December baby myself so it would be great! Now all that needs to happen is a/f needs to show up and the new ob/gyn needs to put me in the clear and tht bd has to work right away LOL. I see the new doc tomorrow so keep your fingers crossed for me.

[queenspade]

Well, it seems like I am gonna O a little early this month.  DH was supposed to work late tonight but as soon as I told him he decided he is headed home!! He doesn't want to risk missin the egg this month!!  I think he may be more into it this month than I am.  Last night I caught him checkin my tracker!! He is a CRAZY one.

[hazleyez]

Hey Ladies just wanted to check in and see how everyone was doing? i wasnt on much yesterday... I am CD32 and BFN on Tuesday Im thinking to test Tomorrow in the AM so I am praying it will be a BFP.. but probaly not likely :0(........  I have a question (((((((( WARNING ))))))))TMI I have been having light cramping and the last week alot of CM first was sticky whitish CM and then eggwhite clear cm and now today its very watery like and clear slimy like (no odors) what could this be AF maybe gonna show or maybe Preggo? what have you ladies experience before?  Thank ladies

[smr08]

Natalie- we have a thing for Sept., me, ds and dd! I will be thinking about you tomorrow and praying that you can begin to move ahead(you need to start working on that dec. baby ;) )

Jenn- so far I have no signs of O, should be coming but I o'd pretty late last month like cd23! I hope that doesn't happen again cuz it made af so late that I got my hopes up, well at least i'll be prepared this time.

Amanda-I'm praying with you. When is af supposed to show?

[hazleyez]

Af was do today AM normaly ;0(

[nmenyo]

Hey Ladies, So much you miss when you don't log on for one day.

Bam - I am so sorry about the bloodwork. BFN for me today with cramping that is AF style (I can tell). AF should be here Monday. Is there still hope for me?

A/P I am glad you are feeling better, my offer for coffee still stands if you want.

To all the other ladies, do you buy preseed at the drug store or is it a specialty store kinda thing? I bought my (name brand) opk's at a cvs outlet store for $10 for 7 of them. It's called Mark Stevens in Woonsocket RI, if anyone is near there. They have namebrand POAS for $4 as well, I'm thinking of stocking up for the next cycle. The Booty Camp did not work for us. Everyday except 2. Don't know what went wrong but I am getting my bloodwork done on the 2nd day of AF and then an u/s right after. So that should give me some answers. But all I have to say for right now is THIS *****!!! I am getting very discouraged.

Survivors on soon, I wish I had a laptop or I need to move my computer to the livingroom :-)

[smr08]

Amanda, no news is good news! I'll keep everything crossed for youxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[bam1014]

Nicole - there is always hope until AF shows.  I remember the month I got my BFP, I was conviced AF was on the way due to the cramping.  I'm waiting for AF to show up on Sunday or Monday myself.  If nothing else we'll be cycle buddies :)  All you have to do is go to the preseed website and you can find local retailers.  Some ladies said they found it sold at their local pharmacy.  For myself it's sold at a specialty woman's store - LOL there were condoms hanging off of the wall.  Good thing I lost my TTC bashfulness a while ago, but DH got a good chuckle out of it when I got home and told him what kind of store I was in. He asked if he could go with me next time.

I love Survivor TOO!  But my computer's in the living room right next to the TV.  Drives DH nuts when I'm typing, but won't let him change the channel because I'm "watching" something.  I figure it's the same thing as when he "watches" sports with his eyes closed :)

Oh and we love to call this S**T the NECOT - never ending cycle of torture.  Sometimes it just feels really good to yell - STUPID NECOT!

To all my TWW'ers - you are in my prayers!

[hazleyez]

Bam sorry it was BFN and the bloodwork I know you would liek that BFP like alot of us ;0) it will happen sooner than later but Im prayign SOONER for you.i havent been on since earlier yesterday and then a little today I am still praying for your BFP this month ;0) I havent got AF yet suppose to be today but nothing so im gonna test in the AM and hopefully good news BIG HUGS . Thanx lori I will let you know the results in teh morning ;0p

[nmenyo]

Just bought my preseed  multipack with 2 free preg test. YEAH!!! I got it at BabyHopes.com

[steph9803]

Nicole- I've still got my fingers crossed for you! Thanks for the site.
Natalie- It's been a yucky day here too...Enjoy your Corona :D
Aileen- How are you feeling?
Lori- DD's b-day is in Sept too.
Jenn- Well it sounds like DH is on top of things LOL
Amanda- *HUGS*
bam- DH hates it when I'm "watching something" and playing on the computer too :P I remember you having to park at a distance to go into the shop to get your Preseed LOL

[Cari227]

Hey everyone just wanted to stop in and say hello. I hope everyone is doing well. Tomorrow is my 20th b-day so I'm hoping that will bring me some good luck for this month. Good luck ALL!!!!!!!!

[natalie910]

Ok what is POAS? I looked on the page with the acronyms but can't find it.

Lori-I usually try for a June or July baby to avoid the summer being pg but at this point I don't care what month it is now :)
Steph-I never did have that corona, it's only 8:00 maybe I'll go for it.

I am a nervous wreck seeing a new dr tomorrow. I have a list of questions prepared for him. I just really hope he'll give us the green light to ttc. Shouldn't my hcg levels be checked b/4 we try though? Maybe this doc will do some pre-pregnancy testing, I don't know what type of tests should be performed though.  

[steph9803]

Natalie- It's pee on a stick, but we also made up our own for our $ store tests...PIAC pee in a cup LOL I hope it goes well tomorrow. I would get my levels checked if I were you just to make sure.
Cari- You and Erica have the same birthday.. I hope it's a good one.

[hazleyez]

Thanx Steph (((Hugs))) back you you.

[bam1014]

Natalie - POAS - pee on a stick (i.e HPT).  For those of us $ store lovers it's PIAC - pee in a cup :)  And for Aileen it could mean popsicle sticks.  Good luck at your dr's appt.  Make sure to let us know how it goes!

I always said I never wanted a winter baby.  Too afraid of being big and preggers during a WI winter and busiest time at work.  But heck, I just don't care anymore!!

Steph - LOL, yeah  with my personalized license plates I was really scared someone I know would recognize me :)

Cari - happy B-Day tomorrow.

[smr08]

Cari- Happy B'Day! Good luck this month

Natalie- it took me a while to get the lingo on this site, sometimes a new one pops up that I have to look up! I have a June baby, it was relief not being pregnant the whole summer!

[natalie910]

Bam and Steph- thanks, I knew it had something to do with testing. I hope to be a POAS addict with all of you very soon:)

Lori- I have a June baby too, I was a teacher at the time and we really got lucky planning him, got pg on the first try. It was so easy. I wish it were that easy now.

I'll be sure to let everyone know how the appointment goes, I haven't ever seen a male ob/gyn, scary. Maybe I'll finally get somewhere.

[ArmyPrincess819]

Nicole- I'm so sorry I never saw your offer. I would love to this week has been so hectic with my mom after her surgery etc but yes absolutely and if you wanted we could also do a couples thing and do dinner too. Let me know!

Hugs,
AP

[StephNP09]

Before I tested positive for preg, I was having A LOT of whiteish CM so maybe that is a good sign for you. Are you having any symptoms at this point? Have you been more tired than usual or back aches? I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!! I hope you get your BFP!! Do you know what CD you ovulated?

[StephNP09]

I have had good luck with OPKs from earlypregnancytests.com and also with Clearblue Easy brand. The earlypregnancytests.com OPKs are much cheaper and you can buy them in bulk online. The only bad thing with those ones are that the test line never gets as dark as the control line, so we just BD'd anytime I got a faint line. The line did get darker each day, but never as dark as the control line.

[natalie910]

I feel really badly...I have a friend that is 29w with twin boys and right after I had my m/c I didn't even want to talk to her. I was just sad b/c we were pg together and then I wasn't. Now she's having pre-term labor and I'm worried about her. She has to have a shot everyday, not sure what it is. I just feel terrible though b/c I haven't talked to her since my m/c and now she's going through this. She knows about the m/c but hasn't called or written me. I feel weird but maybe I should write to her on fb to see how she's doing. Obviously I want everything to go great for her but after we lost our baby I didn't want to talk to her. Any thoughts...

[bam1014]

natalie - if she is a dear friend, then reach out to her, maybe she just felt akward and didn't know what to say to you.  If she is just a "fringe" friend than do what you feel is best in your heart.  Currently my BF is pg with her 2nd (after only 1 month of trying).  I try my best to stay interested and offer my support.  But she also knows how much pain I am in from TTC'ing for #1 and is respecting that.  You will know in your heart what is the right thing to do.

[smr08]

Natalie- I know, with my first and second I swore I got pregnant when DH looked at me! they're 2 wks short of a year apart, if things could be that easy this time.
As for your friend....I would drop her a line, it could be brief. Has she ever talked to you about your m/c? I was the same after my loss, I couldn't take the sight of a pregnant lady, and they were like in my face 24/7 I wanted to scream!! You seem like such a sweet person and I don't believe it's your style to not show concern. Your heart will tell you whats right. Good luck.

[natalie910]

Lori and Bam- We used to be a lot closer, we've known each other for years but aren't that close anymore, once I stopped teaching we don't see each other everyday so we only talk occasionally now. I will email her on fb. I haven't heard from her since my m/c but she probably didn't know what to say, I'd feel the same way if it was the other way around. I've gone through a lot of family illnesses so I am fine with talking to people even when they're hurting or going through hard times some people don't feel comfortable with that.

It does feel like everything I watch on tv, even commercials have pg women. I'm getting better about it but it is just weird. I even saw a commercial with a woman getting an ultrasound. I never noticed it before but now it's everywhere.

We'll have our time though, positive thoughts :)

[sakers1985]

okay ladies.. i know you wont get this until the morning BUT... I bought a test today and I guess i am going to use it tomorrow morning.. I am scared s*h*i*t*l*e*s*s , I will let you guys know as soon as I do.. I have had Lots of CM for the past week with some mild cramping on my left side... and i have noticed small different eating habits.. nothing abnormal but just different from usual. okay i am rambling.. i am getting off of here...

goodnight to some... goodmorning to most..

Happy birthday to the ones that are having a birthday... sorry cant remember the name
Sheena

[queenspade]

Good Luck to You!!! Hope you get your BFP!!!!!! I will be on first thing tomorrow looking for your results.

[natalie910]

Sheena,  I know you're scared but maybe you will get a bfp,You really deserve it!! Just let us know the results.

[LadyM84]

Hey Bam  magnesium is a multivitiman that i started using its got loads in it and you can get conception 1s the ones im taking are for replacing vitimans during my cycle but i take it once a day , its called magnesium~ok xx


AP we need a new topic , hope your ok x

i'm a little confused , i got my smiley yesterday but i have hardly any cm ?? so i dont know ive just been doing alot of BD in the mean time , but i normally have the cm so i dont know this cycle has been weird  with the spotting bloated all the way through , no chocolate craving before af arrived its just really different , my temp hasnt changed yet i'm hoping the golden egg will release today so my temp should start to rise in a day or 2 i dunno xx
baby dust to all xx

[steph9803]

TGIF!!!! I hope you are all having a wonderful day!

Lori & Natalie- Me, DH, my mom, sister, and many others in my immediate family are June babies. Natalie...both of my best friends were pregnant along with me and it took digging very deep inside of me to be able to feel the joy I did for them. I'm glad I did now though...Then my sister decided after my m/c that she wanted to have another baby...and BOOM she was pregnant on the first try.
StephNP- Thanks for the info. that helps alot. I hope you're feeling well :D
Sheena- Any news yet? I've got my fingers crossed still!
Lisa- Golden egg...how cute is that :D I hope you catch this one!

[smr08]

Natalie- good luck today, i'm thinking of you!

Sheena- It's 10:10 am, where are you??????? Hoping it's a BFP

Jenn- Truck loads of baby dust comin your way!

Lisa- I'm praying for you that this is your month. Another truck on it's way to you!

Steph- June what? My youngest son is the 6th

[queenspade]

Lori...thanks!!  I have one digi test left & I am not testin early this time.  DH & I have a pinky promise. :)

Sheena...Well....BFP?????

My babies were born in April, May & Sept. so late Dec. early Jan.  would be fine by me....

[mikaleen]

Good morning!

Happy Birthday to today's birthday girls.
Natalie...Good luck at the Dr.  I hope you get some answers.
Sheena...Well??
Steph...  Yay!  I can function again.  My head doesn't feel like someone is pounding it with a sledgehammer.
Bam...I would like to clear the record.  I have NEVER, nor do I EVER plan on peeing on a popsicle stick.  They're too narrow, I'd miss and just make a mess.  Besides I just spent lots of money on all sorts of legitimate sticks to pee on. =)

Most birthdays in my family are Oct/nov.  Mine & DH are Oct.  Both my parents and Mikayla are Nov.  Might as well go for Dec.  

According to FF I am 14 DPO.  No AF but BFN on $ store test.  Temp still at 99.3 this morning.  I don't know.

[smr08]

Jenn- I don't think i'll test until I know af is late, but the hard thing with that is last month I o'd late so af was late so i'll have to pay more attention to things this time. My guys were born in Sept., Sept., June and my son I lost would have been in March.

[bam1014]

Aileen - LOL, all right I'll retract my previous statement - Aileen does NOT POPS (pee on popsicle sticks).  Glad to see your headache went away and bummer about those *defective* $ store tests.

Sheena - we are in suspense.


Sending out a 2nd truck load of baby dust, after Lori's gets delivered :)

[smr08]

Aileen- Morning! Glad to hear your headache is better. So your all stocked up on sticks? Well I hope you don't have to use many. When is af supposed to show?

[mikaleen]

Lori...according to FF AF is supposed to make an appearance today 14 DPO.  My temp hasn't dropped yet, so I don't expect her to show until it does.  I'm confused.  I should have my 30 sticks by Tuesday =)

[queenspade]

Lori...I think that my obsessive testing was part of our problem.  It is such a let down, then I get so discouraged I don't even want him touching me let alone BD'ing.  LOL  He is being so sweet & trying very hard to be supportive.  He came home early last night like he promised & tonight he said he doesn't care if i am too tired, he has work to do.  :)   My cycle is completely off so I have no clue when to expect AF

[hazleyez]

Cari- Happy B'Day and Erica Happy B`Day who your having a great time..

Lori and Steph I got BFN on $store tests again...

StephN I am CD 33 I am not sure when i O`d since this is my first cycle since m/c in nov.. so im just hanging out trying to figure whats going on with me.. but I am not having any luck no AF and BFN so who knows whats going on..

[smr08]

Aileen- Can you imagine if you get a BFP before your sticks come on Tuesday! My last pregnancy I brought everything with me on vacation expecting af the day we were coming home and she never showed!

Jenn- I fell asleep on my poor DH the last 2 nights, and he doesn't dare to wake me! I'll have to put toothpicks in my eyes tonight :)

Lori...I thought you were great at multi tasking!  You can't sleep and BD at the same time??  That would be great...and then I'll send everything to you.  You are probably the closest so the cheapest to mail it to.  I'm not testing again until I get those tests.  No point in shelling out more money. If I did get a bfp I'd send all my negative $ store tests back to them and request my $5 back.  Damn defective $ store tests.

[BP0629]

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!

Sakers where are you w/ poas results....???

Well, I'm 9DPO and chewing at the bit to test. Its driving me crazy. I don't have any preg signs/symptoms-nor do I feel AF signs/symptoms. I posted on my facebook yesterday how tired I was after taking a power nap & some of my gal pals jumped all over it about me being pregnant. *If they only knew how true I wish that was right now*

How is everyone doing this fine day? I'm hanging in there, just still feeling drained. (The weather is pretty yucky here so i'm blaming it for my bummed emotional days & exhaustion).

Bridgette & Aileen, I must say that picturing Aileen POP cracked me up so bad!!! *lol* Being the POAS addict i've become, it could be a much cheaper alternative. Thanks, I really needed a good chuckle!

[steph9803]

Aileen- I couldn't wait to get home and tell you that I just saw Fat Tire at the grocery store! I'm so glad you're feeling better.
Lori- MIne is the 23rd, DH 22nd, mom's 24th, sister's 28....etc none on the 6th though
Amanda- Well at least AF hasn't shown up yet! No time to give up now :D
Jenn- Hopefully soon more of us will be able to BD for the joy of it :P

[hazleyez]

STeph. Thanx and Nope not giving up yet just a bit discourage b.c the BFN ugh!!! but I am gonna test maybe tomorrow or Sunday ;0p

[smr08]

Aileen- My DH took pictures of me eating swedish fish, reading a magazine, watching tv and sleeping all at the same time! I guess sleeping while bd'ing is no big deal, i'll have to give it a try. LOL. We keep cursing those $ store test yet we keep buying them!

Brandy- hang in there!

Steph- wow, you have a busy June!

Amanda- glad to hear your not giving up

[mikaleen]

Steph..YOU DID NOT!!!  I haven't had one in over 2 years!  I'm going to have to send you money and you can ship me some.  By the time we order it from the liquor store in Colorado it's costs $60 for half a case!!  It's $10 a six pack and $40 for shipping!!!  It's like an 18 hour drive or something for me to get to TN.  That even might be cheaper though and worth a road trip!!  

Lori..if you can watch tv and read a magazine while sleeping, BDing should be a piece of cake..you don't even have to concentrate!

Brandy...so glad I could give you a chuckle.  I try my best.  And if you POPS and get 2 lines...you'll be a millionaire.

[smr08]

OK! I'm out of touch, what the h*ll is Fat Tire???????????

[steph9803]

Aileen- LOL I saw it and DH thought I was crazy because I picked it up and was looking at all of the sides and the bottom to make sure it was made in CO..and it was! It was $8.50 for a 6 pack. I was thinking if I had your address I could send you some. There's no way it would cost $40 to ship it from here! I told him the story and how crazy it was that we were just talking about this yesterday! Even the guy stocking the beer next to me was looking at me funny LOL I guess they've never seen anyone examine a 6 pack of beer so closely before :P
Brandy- It's another yucky day here too! It always makes me feel like icky. Go on and test already LOL...you're giving us POAS's a bad rep :P

[smr08]

OK! I'm out of touch, what the h*ll is Fat Tire???????????

[steph9803]

Lori- It's the beer Aileen was talking about yesterday. How are you doing today?

[BP0629]

Steph-didn't you learn that perr pressure isn't nice...*lol* remember, i tested a couple days ago. if that isn't a poas-a-holic i don't know what is...well maybe aileene being she POP. hehehe

Aileen, the best i can do on a popsicle stick is get a silly riddle...sorry to disappoint *lol*

i'll probably give in & test before the afternoon is over...i've got plenty of stock in $store defective test!

[BP0629]

oops..."pEEr pressure" silly typos. :-)

[smr08]

Steph- Thanks, i'm such a dork! You can tell it's been a while since I had a drink. I'm doing pretty good, how bout you? Hopefully I can stay awake tonight ; ) If not i'll have to put my multi tasking to work! LOL

[bam1014]

Maybe I should start POPS, nothing like a good riddle to cheer you up.  Oh - but then DH would have me comitted.  Hard to get preggers that way! :)

Brandy - I'll be your voice of reason - don't test!  It's too early.

[mikaleen]

Dani...are you there?  How many DPO did you get your faint line on the $ store test?  Was it early? I don't remember.

[bam1014]

Just Kidding!

Those of us out of the running need to POAS vicariously through one of you guys!

[BP0629]

ATTENTION POAS-A-HOLICS!!!!

I'm 9DPO & couldn't take it any longer....they were calling me....

I did a $ store first then a First Response Early Test (poas.com have them both picking up at 25)....

I'm PRETTY sure I have a faint BFP!!!! I'm trying not to get my hopes up though...I tried taking a picture w/phone & w/digital but the lines are faint so they don't show up in the picture. The 1st response is the one I used w/the twins. I took it 1 morning before work & sat it on the floor. When I looked down I was like, "ok I'm not pregnant" when I picked it up to put it in the trash I was like, "oh my, I'm pregnant". Well, I took the test & refused to look at it before 3 minutes was up. When I cam eback I was like, "why do I keep torturing myself like this" then I picked it up and told myself, "don't jump the gun just yet girl, but you MIGHT be seeing a dark BFP by tomorrow"! I'm not sure if I should tell DH just yet. I want to be sure I'm not going to disapoint him. I didn't want to jinx myself (or give myself false hope) by telling you girls, but I need all the prayers I can get right now.

Should I tell DH tonight or wait & see test in the morning?
Should I hold it for several hours & try again tonight?

Help me out here girls. You've been my strength for about 6 months now...I REALLY need you!!!

[smr08]

Brandy- OMG!!!! A faint line is better than no line!! I know what you mean about getting your hopes up, but it's pretty hard to control. Can you wait till morning to tell DH???? You can always show him this test and ask for his opinion and then tell him that your gonna try in the am just to be sure. I will be praying for you because god knows we need some more BFP's around! Now i'm all excited!!!

                                       Lori

[natalie910]

Brandy- I am so happy for you!! Wait a few hours and see if the line gets darker. Maybe you should try another one just to make sure. I wouldn't be able to hold back, I would have to tell my DH but I can't keep a secret :) I'm praying for you.

Lori-You're not a dork, I didn't know what flat tire is either but I wouldn't mind trying it.

Girls I may try pop since I haven't had my first a/f yet. A silly riddle would make me feel better too.

Happy Birthday to all the birthday gals!!!!!!!!

[BP0629]

ALL:

Ok, So PLEASE pray & keep your fingers crossed this is the real deal. (I BEG not to say any congrats & till that line turns a little darker). I did go on-line & search to see if this is even possible & found a site that gave me info showing that I really could be getting a BFP this early!!! I "might" tell DH I took test because he knows AF came on 27th of Jan & since she didn't show up today I thought, 'why not' & this is what I got. I'm just afraid of getting his hopes up OR making him fear another roller coaster ride w/me & my baby health. (last year was tough on him & he was a ROCK!)  This is what exciting news I got on the website & it is RIGHT ON w/ the dates...pretty cool actually...

Today is Friday February 27th 2009.
You conceived on Wednesday February 18th 2009
and your due date is Wednesday November 11th 2009.

9 days have passed since the conception,
and you are 257 days before your due date.

You are 3 weeks into your pregnancy,
and you have 37 weeks to go.

You are in the 1st trimester.

3% of your pregnancy has passed, there is 97% left to go.

Cool Info right??? Hang in there w/ me girls....this is IMPOSSIBLE to not get hopes up!!!! GRRR...Darn Early Preg Test!!!! *lol*

[smr08]

Natalie- How did everything go today?

Has anyone heard from Sheena? She was supposed to test this morning

[smr08]

Brandy- What site did you go on to get all that info?? That's awesome. Keeping everything crossed for youXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

[queenspade]

I would be taking another test!!  Fingers crossed for you!

[queenspade]

That's what I was wondering too...good question.

[BP0629]

Natalie- i PIAC so I could use the same sample for both test & they both gave a faint line. I was hoping to 'hold it' until 4pm, but the bladder was ready to go a little after 3. I REALLY wish I could've held out a little longer. I still have 2 $store test, 1 1st response, & of course my digital (that i'm saving once I confirm my BFP) for the picture. I just don't know what to do.

Funny thing is, w/both of my last 2 positives I called the dr right away. Today the office is still open & I don't want to call yet. I'm going to wait & see what the weekend brings & go from there on Monday.

[bam1014]

OMG - how exciting!  I DON'T want to be a downer, but we did have some faint lines around here last month, but in the end no BFP.  Can you hold out until tomorrow morning so you can use FMU?

OHHHHHHHHHH big prayers going your way!!!

Look at us POAS'aholic's telling you to wait!

[BP0629]

Lori- I just stumbled upon it today & its pretty neat! Its www.amazingpregnancy.com I'm actually playing around on it in between medhelp slow loads. I too have been wondering where she is. Its not nice to tease us like that...

I have the stick here infront of me & just keep looking at it. My eyes aren't messing w/me there is a definate faint line there. I've tried taking like 15 pics of it to post but it won't come thru. GRR.

[BP0629]

Thanks Bridgette. There was a very light line this morning (3:30am on $store test). I didn't know if my eyes were too tired to register or if it was just my hopes getting the best of me. Thats why I did it this afternoon & the faint line on the 2nd $store test is darker (its obviously there) and then there's the 1st response one. *being i took one this morning & was unsure I PIAC so I could do 2 different test this afternoon*.... I REALLY hope this is the real deal, but who knows. When do you think I should test again. (I don't know if I can wait til am)

[smr08]

Isn't it funny how we're like a bunch of kids in a candy store when one of us gets a BFP? LOL.

Brandy- I'll have to check that out "WHEN" I get my BFP (i keep hoping!!!)

[BP0629]

Natalie- How was the new dr? Did you like them? Get any good news? Details...

[bam1014]

Well as long as you have the $ store, then no need to wait till morning - can you hold out 4 more hours?  I don't blame you for not calling the dr.  I would wait until after the weekend too.

I had hit "post comment" right after I read your first post, but obviously it didn't register on the SLOW MH until after a bunch more posts.

[BP0629]

Lori- u don't have to wait for bfp. it has all kinds of preg info. from how to concieve (conceive), to fertility issues & womens health. Go take a looksie!

[natalie910]

Lori- Thanks so much for remembering!
I saw the new dr today and he was awesome!! We actually talked for over half an hour. He answered all of my questions too and made sure I didn't have any more questions so that was great. He said we could ttc agin but suggests waiting 2 cycles :( that;s ok though, I need the time b/c I know I will be so nervous. He also was really confused that my previous dr thought the baby lost life at 14.5w. He said since the size of the baby was 12.5w when I delivered, that was pretty much the age of the baby. I actually did have a 1st trimester m/c which is really common so that was a bit of a relief.
I am kind of freaked out now b/c I just thought about it, I had a dental x-ray right around that time. The dentist did know I was pg but said it was a digital x-ray and it was low radiation, grrr I wish I hadn't thought of that.
Also he said that he would do additional testing on me if I wanted but he didn't think it was necessary. I may have him run some of the tests just to make sure everything is ok. I'm such a worrier.
So I will just be waiting for 2 a/f and then I will be a POAS addict along with all of you.

[smr08]

Brandy-HOW TO CONCIEVE (conceive)????? I'm there! LOL

Natalie- I'm sooo happy that things went well today, I was thinking about you all day. It helps so much to have a Dr. that will spend some time answering your questions. 2 af's isn't that bad, at least for now you'll be able to enjoy the deed and it won't be all work. LOL

[steph9803]

OH GIRLS!!! I have a new website for all of the BFP's! It has a place to calculate your HCG levels to see if they are rising the way they should...here it is
h t t p: // babymed . c o m / tools / pregnancy / hcg /
It is pretty neat.
Brandy- How do you like that peer pressure now LOL I'm praying really hard for you!
Natalie- That's great...It's always nice to have someone who will listen. 2 cycles will fly by!

[smr08]

OK Girls, you all need to turn your computers off. I'm leaving soon to go shopping and I won't be back until later tonight and I don't want to miss anything. If you insist on keeping them on then I'll apologize for all the typos later, I will be multi tasking! ; )

                       Lori

[steph9803]

Lori- LMAO! I'll have some typos later...but it will be due to my Southern Comfort that I picked up earlier :P

[bam1014]

Natalie - that's really great that you found a good dr - so important!!  Especially to not feel like you are being rushed out of their office!  2 cycles isn't so bad but maybe you should start practicing by POPS ;)

Lori - LOL, but you better start getting busy soon dear!!!  There's only one way to catch the golden egg - granted, speaking from experience, you don't have to be awake to BD :P

[natalie910]

Brandy-This is so exciting!! It's a good day!

I am very happy with the new dr and I guess 2 a/f will fly by. Since I started having trouble 8w into my pg, DH and I haven't done any bd. It's been almost 4 months, I know he is ready to flip out. Neither dr told me it is ok now and I didn't ask but I'm sure it will be fine now. We have A LOT of catching up to do!

[natalie910]

Bam- I'll pops but just won't admit it :) My DH won't think anything of it, he already knows I'm crazy LOL

[Dani711]

Aileen (of course I am here) ...and Brandy... I tested at 9dpo on the $store but only looked at it for like a minute and threw it away.  Then on 10dpo I tested again and looked for a min and threw it away again.  Like 5 min. later I looked in the trash and saw a VERY faint line.  It was there, and it was pink, but I too could not get it to come out in a picture.  I proceeded to take like 10 more $ store tests that day, and all a faint line.  I brought one with lunch for DH to see and he was like "yeah, I see it" but it was faint.  I waited the next day thinking the $store would be darker, but it was the same, so I went and got an early response (the crazy lady waiting outside the store in the freezing rain for the doors to open) and I got a first response...and it came up right away.  I think the confusion with some of the false positives is people going crazy having to hold them in certain lights to see.  I found that with the $store tests you just have to give them at least 5 minutes to dry.  Just leave them sitting on the counter and if you can see a line then it is a bfp.  Just to let you ladies know, my line comes up faster than the control line now...yes, that is right 18 weeks pregnant and still test LOL!!!!!!!

Brandy- I really think this could be it for you.  I was in your shoes.  I even had DH take a test and he did not have any line at all!
Aileen-good luck!  

[BP0629]

Dani-thanks so much! I'm trying to not get my hopes up...TOO much, but keeping my fingers crossed. I'll definately keep all of you posted!!!

[natalie910]

Brandy- Dani had a great idea. Have your DH try, LOL. I think this is a really good sign though. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Lori- you're going to have a lot of catching up.

[steph9803]

Dani- You give me hope...still POAS's at 18 weeks...I know I can go on now knowing that I can continue my addiction LOL

[bam1014]

Dani - but what will you do after you have the baby?  Will you join the POPS club just so you don't forget how to do it for #2?

All this talk of POAS is triggering my addiction.  I'm desprately looking around on my desk for anything!  Nope, not a single stick in sight - my hands are getting shakey (shaky) - is this withdraw?!?!

[Dani711]

I know, I haven't done it in a couple of weeks though, still, really I don't know why.  I just found it fun to see how fast the line appears.  Come on ladies, I am currentely a stay at home mom of a Jack Russell in the middle of winter in Idaho, what else do I have to do LOL!
Steph- glad I can give you hope :)
Bam- if all goes well then I will hopefully be able to use them for # 2.  We figure we will see how this one goes and just not use BC after it.  The way I see it, this baby is years in the making, if I get preg again it will be fate.  I would love to have a pregnancy where somehow it is just easy.  I would love to know what that is even like!  But that is so far down the road right now.  

I need more of you with bfp's to keep me company.  My Aug babies forum is nice and all, but It seems we are much more devoted to writing here!  There are days over there where no one writes at all!  Here we fill up a zillion posts a day LOL!

Brandy, I will be checking to see how tomorrow goes. But remember, the $store tests didn't give me a darker line the next day!

[steph9803]

Dani- I think it's pretty cool that you have done that. I would have never thought that the test line would come up before the control line. Now the POAS.com lady...I don't think I would go that far :P I'm glad someone did though. I have looked through so many forums and they are so quiet. I am always ready to jump on here to see what's happened in the past hour that I haven't been on...
bam- fight the urge...fight the urge...

[natalie910]

Sheena, did you POAS, what's the result???? No peer pressure here though :)

[nickswife]

brandy- hope this is it for you! you sound exactly like me when i just recently tested. the lines were so faint i didnt even believe it. it took awhile on the ones i had to show up- after i didnt see a line ( a whole day of sitting on my dresser before i looked at it again) i looked at the other ones in the garbage and on a couple of them i saw a line. so actually i really got a BFP before i even thought! keep us poted- i would wait til morning tho to make sure. i really need a belly buddy so hope this is it!!

[mikaleen]

Yay Brandy..I am keeping my fingers crossed for you!  
Natalie..It's a Fat Tire...not Flat...but all my friends call it flat tire too. =)  It's an amber ale with a nice nutty finish.  (I am practicing to become beer connesiuer (sp??)
Steph...how's the SoCo?
Lori...Hope you are having fun shopping!  I will counting yours and Stephs typos in the morning if my head allows.

AF didn't make an appearance today, but unfortunately my migraine did again.  Right in the middle of my wonderful steak and rib dinner at Texas Roadhouse.  I am getting DD ready for bed now so I can soon follow.

[natalie910]

Aileen- Thanks-Fat Tire, sounds good what's it comparable to? Hope your headache is gone soon!

My DH is working tonight so I'm utterly bored. What's up with these $ store tests? I've seen them but haven't used them. Should I bother...when the time comes? I am going to start buying a few tests a week to stock up so when I'm ready to start POAS I will be well prepared. What are the most accurate? I like the ones that say pg or not pg.

[Dani711]

steph- I originally was using the tests when they told me I had a m/c to see if my levels were dropping making the lines less.  I noticed my test line was getting dark faster.  So months later I decided to see what happened and that is when i noticed the test line was there as soon as i put the drop of pee on it.  Ha, just think of how I started when you told me about the $ store tests.  You didn't tell me I had to PIAC and I was trying to pee on the little stick LOL!

Aileen- I used to drink Murpheys Irish Red...ever try that?  I liked it much better than Fat Tire.  Oh, those were back in my drinking days prior to ttc.  I am an all or nothing type girl.  I gave it my all when i partied, and now have to give it my all as a mom.  I was never too good with healthy moderation in anything LOL!

Nat- I spent over $50 a month easily on preg tests, sometimes more until I found the $store tests (the last month of 7 ttc) but if you become a compulsive tester like the rest of us, I recommend the $store, then if you think there is a faint line, go ahead and get an early response test.  It came up much darker for me after I had my faint $store tests lines.

[mikaleen]

Natalie...I can't think of anything that quite tastes like it, but it's an ale like Bass.  I can tell you some of the more common beers I like just to get an idea of the style...Killian's, Bass, Sam Adams.

Dani...I think I have, and if I remember right I liked it.  I don't know what it is with the Fat Tire, but I just love it.  It may even just be related to super good memories.  We just did our taxes so we are booking ticket to go out there.  I can't wait!  I can drink it on tap!! (maybe)  I really enjoy beer, I just can't drink Bud or Coors or Heineken...I definately enjoy the darker beers.  New Belgium's 1554 is good, too.  Oh, and I remember you making DH piac!  

I've been looking at the $ store test all day, but still no line =(  Tomorrow is supposedly 15 DPO.  Can't wait to see what my temp is when I wake up!

[smr08]

WOW! I'm back. Here I go..................

Bridgette- starting tonight(with or without dh!lol) No sign of O yet but who cares! Did you find any sticks??

Natalie-4 months!!! Get movin girlfriend! Your right, you ladies can talk.

Dani-You are an addict!! How funny, I never heard of anyone testing at 18wks pg!

Aileen- It's 11:00pm and i'm still catching up so heaven only knows what you'll see in the morning! You all have me thinking about beer and I hate the stuff!!

[mikaleen]

Is it better than thinking about soup?  Thats good...no typos except for the I in I'm you didn't capitalize =)  Let me know how that works without DH =b

[smr08]

No! Cuz I still didn't get any soup. I'll get him when he's sleeping, I don't need his eyes anyways!

[smr08]

Hey! I just realized that we still haven't heard from Sheena. Hopefully she's out celebrating.

[queenspade]

I was beginning to wonder about Sheena too.  HHHMMM....."WHEN" I get my BFP, I know I am gonnna hurry to get it posted on here.  This month with O coming early we are tryin to BD as much as possible......can't hurt I guess.  

[kgokgo]

Brandy-It's so exciting waiting for a bfp to be confirmed. I also go a faint line to start with and got my confirmation the following morning with a digital one. Can't wait for you guys to wake up.
bam-have you been going to poas-holics anonymous or something? I think this is your month.I got my bfp the month that I didn't obsessively test. Fingers crossed.
Aileen-If I had your phone number I think I would have rung you just to wake you up so that you can test. No pressure, I just can't wait. I've got a good feeling today we gonna be celebrating.
Steph-that was nice of you to post about the website, I'll check it out as soon as I'm finished here.
Dani- that was so funny about still testing. I only did one line test and one digital. DH even asked why all of a sudden I'm no longer testing everyday like I did with the other pgs.

Hope everyone else is doing well.

SSBD everyone.

[EricaB28]

Hope you are all doing well!! DD and I are sick with the stomach flu...so I didn't have a very happy birthday....oh well! I guess we'll just have to pretend it didn't happen and I can stay 28 for another year, lol!! I've got my fingers crossed for all of you in the tww :D Good luck and SSBD to all!! :D

[steph9803]

Good morning everyone!
Lori- I hope you got some last night :P
Jenn- There's always hope if you're BD'ing!
Niki- I would have been on 3way with you waiting on the phone just to hear what her temp is LOL
Aileen- Fingers crossed for those temps to stay up!!
Erica- Sorry you were sick on your B-day :( I'm with you though...I think I'm going to turn 28 again this year :D

[smr08]

Morning All!

Jenn- I'll have like 50 post up "WHEN" I get my BFP!!

Niki- Me to! How are you doing?

Erica- Happy B'Day! Sorry to hear you and dh are sick, hope your feeling better soon!

Steph- Wouldn't you like to know ; )

Sheena- Where are you??????????????????????????????

[ArmyPrincess819]

Good morning. I hope everyone is enjoying their weekends. Yesterday it was 50 degrees out now tonight the snow starts and tomorrow we should have about 2 ft nice! You got to love New England!

Hugs,
AP

[smr08]

Jenny- Weather is kinda crappy here to, it's sunny but cold!! How have you been feeling? 19wks 5 days already?? Can't wait to join you.

                        Hugs Lori

[bam1014]

Good morning ladies.  All you ladies waiting to post test results - get at it!  I'm going to start working on the new post soon and need to know where to put you at!

I hope everything is ok with Sheena . . .

[mikaleen]

Morning...

Steph...temp was 99.0 this morning.  Headache came back with a vengeance...don't know what to do to get rid of it...

Niki...6 hours ago was 5 am for me.  I don't have anything to pee on.  I ordered some internet cheapies so I'm holding out for them if AF doesn't show.  No point in spending more money.

Erica...sorry to hear you guys were sick for your birthday, but if that means it didn't happen I'll have to try it so I don't turn 30 this year.

Brandy...??????????

Lori...how far into Pennsy are you?  

I've been wondering about Sheena too.  Maybe she couldn't bring herself to do it yet...she was so conflicted about whether she wanted to test yet or not.

Today is maybe 15 DPO.  I'd be happy if for one day I didn't have ths terrible migraine.  I don't what to do.  Any advice?  Even the vicodin isn't cuting into it.  I'm gonna be so upset when AF shows and I've been putting myself through all this agony for nothing.  

[natalie910]

Morning all,,,It's freezing here, 26 degrees-atleast there's no snow in the frocast.

Lori-4 months is forever with no bd, I guess we could practice for a few months. Maybe I'll get lucky and get a bfp right away (after the 2 cycle wait, of course)

Brandy-Did you retest?

Aileen- I've had headaches like that but not when I was pg or trying. I am so sorry, it's miserable. I would try to take it easy but I;m sure you already are, I hope you feel better.

Erica- Sorry you were sick on your Birthday, I agree with you though you're still 28 :)

Bam- I was on the site that you suggeswted the other day. It was really helpful, thanks

Hope everyone has a great day!!

[DMarie919]

Hey, can i be added to your list?  My name is Dana and I am waiting for first AF....probably not anywhere close to now....just had my d&c 2/19.  So......here comes the waiting...I, like natalie, have to wait through 2 AF's......and I'm not even sure when my first one will return...:(  Hopefully I can live vicariously through all of you who are further ahead in the game...:)
