[Dani711]

Hey, there is a "newbie" Pips on here and she mentioned how long that thread got and it sure is...but how about we start posting here to make it easier for people to get involved!
how about we all tell where we are in our cycle...
Dani- TWW, 2DPO
Steph- TWW,waiting to test again
Nunu- just about to O
Bam- AF is here :(- waiting to O
GMB-TWW, 1DPO
Latrice, TWW
Vibro-past AF???
Mapes-BFP 6 weeks??
Pips-waiting for first AF
OK, I am not so good at this, please let me know who I forgot!!
I know I must be forgetting someone...I am so sorry if I am!

[Pips]

Wow ... talk about service!  I make a request and look how quickly you jumped on it!

Glad to be part of the group...  :)

Not sure if Sazy wants to be included, but she'd be waiting for first AF following m/c as well.

[steph9803]

Welcome! I'm glad you posted on here. I wish I would have got on here sooner than I did after my m/c.

Dani- I think mapes is at 8 weeks. We sure did roll through that other thread!
The poll around my house is that I'm pregnant. They are kind of biased though...lol I told DH they need to come up with a finger ***** test to do at home and test HCG! I can't stand this waiting ;-P

[bam1014]

WOW, I can't believe how much I missed just from the drive home to finally logging on.  We sure do know how to fill a thread fast.  I was thinking just this afternoon it was ready to start a new one.  Thanks pips for the suggestion.  Pips - welcome to our little group of TTC'ers after m/c.  We will all celebrate your first AF, and hopefully your last.

SSBD all around.

[bam1014]

AF packed her bags yesterday, took my first OPK of the cycle tonight and officially with nunu in waiting to O.

Someday we will have to request of Med Help to add to their acronym list NECOT (for the newbies - Never Ending Cycle of Torture).  I have a feeling I will be using that alot this month.  This is my last full cycle before the RE appt.  The pressure is on!

[nunu1977]

welcome Pips!
NECOT for sure Bam! i OPK'd again today. still a faint test line. I cant wait for it to get darker. I said to DH after i tested that I wish it was a HPT so it would be a BFP.
I am now CD7. Its so nice to actually have a CD for sure!

[CacyMichelle]

Please add me, I'm on CD1, my first af since this miscarriage, and now I have a cold :( i better feel better before ovulation time!

[Latrice414]

11dpo and CD26 waiting for a BFP or AF, which is due friday

[peterjl]

I would love to join, but I have no cycles really.  I would be cd36- no ovulation and taking medicine to have a cycle.  We want to conceive, but it's difficult.  I will be thinking of you all and wishing you all luck.

[Dani711]

peterjl...you can still post on here and let us know what is happening!!  Something has to happen soon!  It is taking me a long time to conceive and we don't seem to have any reason for it.  So please stay with us and we will be rooting for your AF!

mapes- sorry 8 weeks, I knew that, I just had so much info trying to remember everyones cycle...which is really funny in itself that i knew so many off hand!!!

Bam-yeah, I think so many of us totally can relate to this NECOT.  I am having bad weird cramps, out of all my "symptoms" in the past this is a first.  More worried that something may be going on down there or in there that is causing it so hard to conceive.  Just doesn't feel like something normal...???  It feels like when I was younger and couldn't use a tampon cause of the pain in my very lower abdomen...pads are really great for an athlete LOL!  Who knows though, trying not to think too much of ANYTHING anymore!

Nunu-where have you been all day??

[steph9803]

Good morning everyone! I have lots to do today but I am going to be on here the rest of the time...I have to try to pass the time so I don't go crazy waiting to POAS...lol

peterjl- Welcome. my cycles have been 34 or 35 days since my m/c...Which if I wasn't ttc would be great! I hope that yours works out soon. We're all here to support you!
CacyMichelle- I hope you get to feeling better. I haven't been feeling too great lately myself. My kids have all got their first sickness of the winter already! It seems like everyone around here is sick.

[GMB08]

peter...u are welcome to keep us posted about anything!!!
i am 2dpo......feel normal as anyday.....although what i found interesting is i took notes last month on each day.......starting at 1dpo.....its cool to compare......

[bam1014]

Welcome to peterjl, pips and cacymichelle!!  Don't worry if you're cycles aren't normal, we still celebrate or comiserate as the case may be.  Poor nunu had an awful time getting to her first real AF after m/c.  I'm so happy for you nunu that you finally have a CD!

Happy Thursday!

Dani, I agree I notice every single little twinge and wondering what the heck is going on.  I'm sorry you are in pain.  None of mine is too painful, just noticable.  I know it's been around 6 months since your m/c :( but how long did you ttc before getting pg?  I'm so nervous and excited about my RE appt, it's only a month away now.

[GMB08]

yes..bam...excited for you too!!

[steph9803]

I am going to test again tomorrow.. I had to wake up and make myself go straight to pee in the bathroom without the HPT's. That way I wouldn't let myself test again today...lol

[ArmyPrincess819]

Hi ladies. I'm 4 weeks pg today! I'm getting my blood work done today and will see my ob on the 18th. Best wishes to all of you and lots of baby dust!

[steph9803]

I hope everything is going well and that you have a happy and healthy 9 months ahead!

[GMB08]

lol....disciplined!

[mapes10]

Congratulations.  I am so excited for you.  I hope everything goes well.  Keep us posted.

[Pips]

Thanks GMB!  it's been 1 week since u/s diagnosing m/c.  But bled for 12 days before that.  Am now 4 days since last day of blood.  I took cytotec (sp?) on Thursday night, orally.  Does all that make any sense at all???  LOL

Guess I've got a wait ahead of me for AF...  :(

Thanks to all of you ... so very welcoming to the newbies!!!

[Dani711]

Ladies, Lets refer to this page as Cycle Buddies THREAD ##2, and when necessary someone can start #3 as I have a feeling these are just going to keep getting longer and longer...How great!!

steph...tomorrow's Friday...
Bam-tried for two years, but I say that lightly because I had NO idea about ovulation and how hard it was to get preg...it amazes me how much I have learned and how ignorant I was about the whole fertility thing before all this.  
GMB- I am the type as well that feels like when I am intersest or invested in something I need to know everything about it!  Just the basics won't do for me...which is why I think sometimes I get confused, because I read so much, even the chemistry part of it all...and I really didn't do well in college in those type of classes!!
armyprincess-can't wait for the 18th for you!!!  Don't you wish they could just give you a daily update, hearbeat reading and U/S for the whole 9 months!!!

...well I woke up today and the weird cramps are gone so far...it is way too early for implantation type cramps, it actually feels like I did after having the "abortion"  (for all of you who don't know, I had to abort becasue my baby would never make it the whole term, but for some reason it could have taken months to m/c and I would just get bigger and bigger with a baby that would never live:(  )  I hate saying abortion, it makes it sound like I didn't want the baby, when I would have given my own life to have it!  
SSSBD to all!!!

[Dani711]

P.S you all should really try to read the post Latrice puts up either the poems or what not...you would think we all wrote them together!!!  It made me realize how many of us are going through the same exact thing!

[GMB08]

army...soooooooooo happy for you!!! yay!!!!!!!!!!!!! lets get dome more of us to join her and mapes

[bam1014]

Dani - we ttc'd for 2 years too.  At the beginning I ventured on some forums and saw all these people posting about the CD's and O and I thought I would never become that crazy!  LOL, look at me now!  I just always assumed I would O around CD14 and that was it.  One of my friends gave me a pg wheel, so every month when i got AF I would play with it.  That was my extent of research.  It wasn't until my SIL got pg, that I started to get serious and made the first RE appt. (which was later cancelled due to the BFP).  Now my SIL is due any day now, so there is a good possiblity of a new baby at Thanksgiving.  I am very happy for her, since they had tried for a while and had to use fertility treatment (although I'm not sure what - we're not that close).  But, I don't know how my heart will take seeing their newborn.  They are very deserving and will make great parents, so it's not right for me to be sad, but I just can't help it sometimes.

Steph said good morning two hours ago, I`m wondering what time it is there across the pond. Here in the UK its just about 4:15 pm. Sorry, this probably sounds daft.

Could you also please add me onto the tcc thread. Am not sure exactly where I am at the moment. Had a second m/c on 10/18, HPT still testing positive but since yesterday I`ve been feeling like AF is coming.
