[northernsunshine]

Wow Bridgette, great job once again....Can't wait to see the next BFP.

Rachellou06, jennymin867,cocacolapanda/Amy,szw2008/Sam : CONGRATS TO ALL OF YOU!!! :)

Well ladies i had a wonderful day.  I went shoping and visited with my cousin (were like sisters) she  just had a baby boy in November. He is absolutly adorable.  I thought maybe it would hurt today to see her with him but when i had him in my arms and watching him smile at me and making his little baby sounds, somehow it brought a big smile to my face and a warm feeling in my heart...it felt as though he was telling me in his own way that everything would eventually work out. :)  Yay, i know i'm nuts...lol.  But he is so precious.  I feel really refreshed  and reday to start ttc this month as "O" is just around the corner. Realy hope i get to join all you BFP this coming month :)

SSBD to all! **************************************

[bam1014]

That sounds like a great day Northern :)   I went out to lunch today with some co-workers and we met our former co-worker who was pg the same time I was last year.  Her baby was born just days before my EDD, so every time I see her, I think about the child I should have the same age.  It's always so bitter sweet.  It makes me sad, but I just can't stay away from that little girl and I love to hold her.  I was playing with her at the table and making her laugh :)  It will be our turn, dear, to hold our precious babies of our own - I just know it will!!

[smr08]

Bridgette- another amazing list. Thanks for the wonderful job you do :) xoxo

northern- glad you had a nice day today, you deserve it:)

Saying prayers that soon we'll all be on the other list waiting to see our babies....SSBD to all!

[hudsy]

That's great northernsunshine! I went shopping for my hubby's friend and his wife who just had a baby a few days ago....it didn't go so well I fell back into my crazy baby mode while shopping for their little girl and got a little jealous and sad while shopping-I thought I was passed that!!

I don't feel AF coming or a BFP...very normal, no symptoms either way. I'm feeling like a Debbie Downer today! I'm so glad lots of our cycle buddies are getting their BFPs but I really don't want to wait until summer to get mine! I don't want to be the one where the BFNs start you know? Well hopefully I'm the only one w/ the blues today and extra emotional! We're having a "catchphrase" party with like 12 of our friends on Sat. so hopefully that'll get me back to my normal cheery self!! I doubt I can wait until Feb 6th to test!

[smr08]

Alicia- I really don't think we'll get past that until we're able to shop for our own little ones:( I'm not feeling very hopeful and i've been a little bummed today myself. Hope your catchphrase party helps to cheer you up! I've got my fingers crossed for you(along with everythig else)

[Gailybaby]

Well ladies.. its been a long week for me and next week is even closer... I was feeling very bummerd the whole week so dont worry gurls, you are not alone. Only good thing I can say is its my birthday sunday so family and so on will keep me very busy and so hopefully the weekend will fly by without to much thinking about is there is a little baby growing inside yet! Ohhhh holidng thumbs so tightly!

So to all Happy weekend and SSBD!!!!!!

Have to say you ladies are all amazing reading this group yesterday lifted my spirits and made me smile!!! YOU are AMAZING! soo extra special good luck too all!

[bernie40]

Thanks Bridgette for putting me on the list, I'm now very impatient for my AF to come so we can get the ball rolling.  I can see me spending a fortune on HPT's (see I'm learning the lingo).  Just very pale and infrequent spotting now since the D&C and feels like things are settling down.  Still got a little baby bump though :(  I gained a lot of weight and then lost some of it during the 12 weeks, need to lose about 7lbs now.  (total overall pegnancy gain was about 4lbs).

Also got hubby some selenium to take to help produce good healthy sperm ;-)  He thinks I'm trying to poison him, lol!

[DMarie919]

Alicia: You aren't alone my dear.  I am SO happy for all the new BFP's but after awhile, you cant help be wondering when it will be your turn too!  I know how that feels!  We can all sympathize and that is why we have eachother....gosh for awhile I thought I might be the only one left on this list!!  Good thing some new gals showed up to keep me company!! :)  

Northern: Glad you had a relaxing day :)

So now my "cold" is in my chest...I'm thinking I might need the dreaded antibiotic.  I am barely 4dpo.....what do you guys think?  I know it's usually safe but I just can't stop beating myself up because I did have to take an antibiotic in the tww with the last pregnancy....not saying that necessarily caused it, but I just want to be on the safe side, I am so scared to take anything but I am miserable....

[Steph_b]

This is amazing!  are we up to 4 BFP in 1 week,  I think all the positive eneregy has been helping.  Congrats to Sam.

Norhtern-I'm glad you got to enjoy your days off!

Alicia & Lori-  Sorry you guys are feeling bummed out.  Have some fun this weekend!

Good luck to all of those testing in a few days.

************************************baby dust for everyone***************************************

[cocacolapanda]

northernsunshine - Thanks!  And I'm really glad you had such a great day, it's amazing what a little baby can do to us, such a great symbol of hope!

Congrats again Sam!

SSBD!!

[1angelbabyM]

I'd like to start by saying...YAY SAM!!!  Congrats to you!!  Wishing you a healthy, strong little bean and a healthy 8months (since your probably already 1 month, LOL)!

Well, I broke down and tested this morning at 11DPO and BFN.  I'm really hoping it's just too early but probably not.  I have just had the most topsy-turvy tummy the past few days and my BBs and nipples hurt so bad (TMI, sorry), I just really thought this is it!  My DH has called me the devil 3 or 4 times in the past 2 days because I have been so moody, lol!  Oh, and the headaches I've had the past few days have been horrible!!  If AF doesn't show on Monday (14DPO), I'll test on Tuesday or Wednesday. I'm still a little hopeful, though not as much!!  

Sending SSBD to everyone!!

[anxiouslywaiting910]

Bridgette--Thanks for once again an amazing list, I hope you are all off of it by the time I get back on it.

Gailybaby-Welcome to the group =) Hope you have a wonderful Birthday.

Bernie-- Welcome to the group =) I just posted a link a few days back that said Vit E, C and selenium were good for the males sperm.  I think I might buy my DH the Fertilaid for Men because he is far from a heathy eater and he smokes. It has all the good sperm helpers in it.

Dana- I don't think it would hurt but if I were in your shoes I would be more apt to try something safe over the counter but thats only because I don't go to the doctor for anything lol gyn is the only doctor I ever see.

Lor & Aliciai--How you both doing? Don't you both have the same testing day? Praying for no AF and a double BFP =)

Well I am officially CD1 glad I was flipping out for nothing lol BCP really mess up everything..but I am going to try to stick them out for the next 2 months..not only because my Dr recommended it(i think it will help my cyst also) but because I don't want to get the new job and then have to say oh btw I'm pregnant. lol Not like it would happen that quickly for me anyways but to be on the safe side.

Hope everyone has a blessed weekend!!

[cocacolapanda]

1angelbabyM - Hopefully you just tested to early!  

Gailybaby - Happy Early Birthday!  Hopefully you'll get a BFP as a late birthday gift!

anxiouslywaiting910 - Hopefully next cycle will be a little more on schedule!  I know the feeling, I got pregnant about two months after I started a new Job, at least now when I tell them I'll have been there for a little while!

[smr08]

Hi Everyone! Well it's getting closer for me. I was feeling a little better until I watched GMA!!! They were talking about women having babies and a new study shows that a 30 yr old woman looses 90% of her eggs by that age, WTH!!!  Talk about discouraging news, I'm 42, what does that mean???? GRRRR! Oh well, not much I can do now except pray. Fingers crossed for all the next testersXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

[cocacolapanda]

Lori - That is crazy!  In this day in age many women seem to start having kids after the age of 30! Try not to stress about it too much, you have eggs left, you will get pregnant!

It reminds me of something I heard on the radio when they play contests.  The radio station morning crew I listen to has this theory, if you make your self believe it will happen, it will!  IT seems most of the people who win things have said that before calling they told themselves they would win and owned it!

[szw2008]

Well ladies. The HCG levels are at 74 which puts conception about exactly on my birthday. Talk about a gift. Thanks again for all the support. I definitely won't be going anywhere though. I'm too nervous to leave you guys! Oh... and I give credit to the elephant statue I put in my room hahah. And the green underwear I bought!

[cocacolapanda]

YEAH!  That's so exciting!  What a great birthday gift!

[bernie40]

Gosh, I wonder how much we spend on HPT's between us!!!!  I don't know about everyone else but I don't trust the simple strip ones even though it would save me a fortune.  I have to go for the full-on First Response in all it's packaging :-/  

szw2008 - Green underwear?  LOL, please do tell :-)  Is that where I've been going wrong.

Best of luck and baby dust to all of you hoping for a BFP.

anxiouslywaiting - thanks for the tips, I shall get him back on the vitamins as well then, like your DH he is a smoker and eats far too much fat (he thinks I don't notice the sweetie wrappers in the car!)

[cocacolapanda]

bernie40 - I agree on the HPT's I use the ClearBlue Digital ones, that way if you can read, you know the results.  Those lines are SO confusing!  I'd go crazy trying to make sure they really were the right kind of line!

[hudsy]

Angelbaby- I almost gave in and tested today too, all of the positives made me want to!  I'm going to hold out as long as possible, but I have NOOO prego symptoms :'-( I hope you just tested too early!

Tausha- I'm doing "ok" I've been down in the dumps the past 2 days and before that I was totally  positive and feeling really good about this month! Lori and I are the same CD but we think we ovulated different times, and my last cycle was way longer than hers. I don't think I'll be able to wait until next sat. especially since I'm not feeling anything this month.

Dana- I hope this is your last crop of ladies :-) It is sad that as soon as people get pregnant and move on, more show up...I hate that there are so many women losing babies :'-(

Lori- Here's to hoping our bummer feelings are wrong!!

Well today was no better than yesterday! The sun is shining and I still feel gloomy. My friend whose wedding I was in on Jan. 2nd just told me today she thinks she's prego, she's late and has had naseau all week. (She just met her hubby last May, married him in Jan. and got pregnant after 1 time w/out a condom in 4 weeks!) She's not super excited because she wants to focus on her career and school. BLA BLA BLA It KILLED me hearing that. We've bd'd SOOO much the last two months! I really hope my body is off and I'm prego w/out any symptoms. I want to get excited with her and be pregnant together but I just feel jealousy. Ok I gotta snap out of this, my hubby is going crazy w/ my mood swings!!! I think I might test Sun. or Mon. w/ a dollar store test...lol

[smr08]

Amy- i'm gonna try that contest.....believe it will happen and it will...Thanks:)

Sam- whoooohoooooo!!! You can sure say that you got the greatest B-Day gift!!!

Helen- First Response is the way to go!! We probably keep all these hpt companies in business.

Alicia- I'm hoping they're wrong to! I should know within the next few days, but i'm not testing until I know she's really late.

SUPER DUPER STICKY STICKY MAGIC BABY DUST************ To All!

[anxiouslywaiting910]

Well its a cold one here in NC this morning snow and sleet. So I will be in the house all day today..gonna make a big pot of chili  (if the food lion is open I need hamburger meat..I have everything else)  and watch movies and snuggle..thats the plan.

Alicia--Cheer up Sweetie!!!  I hope you got a BFP also, and just don't know it yet.  I had a dream last night that you and Lori got BFP's =) so hopefully I was right.

I also dreamed that I took a test and it was positive..but I was still CD 2 so I was losing another one..not a good dream to say the least..just another sign that I need to stay on the bcp...I am definately not prepared to go through that again if it were to happen.

[hudsy]

Ah I'm sorrry Tausha! Last night I had a dream Robby and I had 2 little girls and one looked like a super dark Latino with a HUGE nose and the other was like albino!! I kept telling Robby "OMG is it bad that I don't think our babies are cute" I woke up freaking out...lol what a crazy dream! I had the weirdest dreams during my last pregnancy! Well I hope your dream about Lori and I was right. We're both not feeling it, but I'm hoping I'm wrong!!!

[lori0615]

Hi there ladies,

I'm just sitting around waiting for the cable guy to come and hook up the cable. I hate having to wait for them to show up. I'm 9 DPO and trying to not read into anything I'm feeling. Tired of the let down every month. I will not test before Feb 6th, if my temps stay up that long.
