BAM:   I did one strip today and it was negative, so I guess I'll do one every morning. I usually have a few signs that I'm going to ovulate (sore nipples and increase in CM), so it will be interesting to find out when I truly O. How many dpo are you?

EMPTYINSIDE:  I am glad that you are taking the medication and it is a good thing you got AF. You wouldn't want to be pregnant and have to take them. I hope you feel better soon so you can right back at it.

LATRICE: Its nice to hear from you. I am glad you got to hear the heartbeat...that must have brought a tear to your eye. I'm sure it would for me.

I am CD12 today and we are going to start BD tonight or tomrrow. I'm not really sure if my cycle will be regular, but we're gonna try anyway.

Latrice- Congrats. I'm so happy for you! Now you can sigh a sigh or relief. Best wishes to you and your baby!
Ps I wish I could have a normal healthy pg so I could go back to baby dancing daily never mind the heart month...LOL

[smr08]

Congratulations! What a beautiful sight when you see that flutter on the screen. I'll check out the pics of your little bean. Glad all is well.

Hey ladies i jus wanted to give u an update on my OB appt, it went well, she did an unexpected u/s and we got to see the heart fluttering away, it was one of those portable u/s that was so small, im 7w and posted my little bean on my pic profile.

Dont give up ladies, you have to keep trying, especially on your fertile days. Feb is heart day so lets do a lot of baby dancing ladies. Sending much SSBD to all.

[mikaleen]

Popcorn- I am not going to test again until Sunday...I still don't feel so great, but I'm not as tired as I was.  If this doesn't stick I'm not testing next month until AF is officially late...I don't want to catch pregnancies that aren't going to stick...it's safer to wait.

Everyone else- Best of luck next month to everyone who has to try again...I wish everyone health and happiness and lots of ssbd...Good luck to everyone still waiting to test this cycle...

[ArmyPrincess819]

Gmb- I'm sorry you were so upset by that post. I reported him to medhelp. Probably a bored teenager!
Hugs,

[GMB08]

hope u feel better empty..................atleast she showed when ur sick...so as soon as u feel better...get busy!

[bam1014]

Emptyinside - That really stinks you are so sick.  I hope you start to feel better soon!  I agree with DH, someone is looking over your shoulder and now that AF came early you can feel a little better about taking the meds.  I'm praying that you have a very successfull February!

[ArmyPrincess819]

Emptyinside- I hope you feel better soon. Best wishes to you on ttc and I hope you get a bfp soon!

Thanks for the update! Its nice to see where everyone is!!!

Unfortunately...no luck this month for me. It was kinda sucky how it happened. After both of my losses I went back on birth control as most of you know. For 2 months my cycle was right on. Well...i've been fighting off a cold for about 2 wks now & wouldn't take anything for obvious 'hopeful' reasons. Sunday night my temp went up to 102 & it took hubby getting quite upset w/me to get me to take ibuprofen. *lol* I went to the dr on monday (still a little soon to test for preg). Come to find out I have pneumonia, sinus infection, and some funny sounding infection that caused my throat to be covered in little blisters. I kept saying my right ear hurt & the dr said it was fine, it was just the mass of blisters on my throat. I thought my throat was sore from coughing for a week. He started talking meds & I said look, we've been TTC with the attitude of if it happens it happens & I don't want any meds because after losing a set of twins & then 1 more right after i'm not chancing messing another one up before it even gets an opportunity. He went through everything he was going to give me & its saftey & said its this & home to bed or you're going in the hospital because my left lung is full. Needless to say I took the RXs. Every inch of my body hurts & I have no voice, energy, nothing. Then to put the icing on the cake to all this joy...I woke up Tuesday morning & who was there to greet me about 6 days EARLY!!!! Yep, AF!!! GRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!! My DH said you poor thing, like you weren't feeling bad enough. He said its probably just someone above looking out for us & wants me to be healthy when I get the good news. Then he said hurry up & get better so we can get back to work, and this time take it seriously. *lol* He's not right I tell you, thats why I gotta love him!  I hope some of you had better luck than me this month!!!
On a positive note, since AF came early, we'll get to start trying sooner in February!

[Dani711]

Mialvan- I tested positive on 10 dpo with the $store test...

Mapes- I am SO with you on your theory.  I have such a hard time with our neice, she is 16, has actually quit every single sport in the middle of the season, has "no try" and has everything handed to her.  I can't even see her being able to live on her own at 18 if she wanted to...it is sad.  I think the worst thing you can do is spoil a kid and not make them work for things, even if it is just doing chores.  I really don't understand how some of these teenagers are going to make it in the "real world".  I mean, they can hardley write anymore, everything is "text lingo" and it is absurd!  Sorry DH and I have been having alot of talks about this now that we are hopefully going to have one of our own!

EVERYONE ELSE----Still rooting and checking in on you everyday.  GOOD LUCK :)

[smr08]

Popcorn799- Thanks! I hope to share some good news with all of you "VERY" soon. I'm glad you got the OK to ttc, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

[bam1014]

Popcorn799 - I'm glad you can start trying again right away.  If you are CD11, you should probably start testing now.  If your cycles are 30 days you will probably O around CD16.

Mialvan - LOL

As for me, still no COW.  I even demanded that DH BD last night to see if we could get her to come :)

[MiaIvan]

I am dpo 3 days and cramping bad  uugghh. to much bding I bet  LOL

[Popcorn799]

QUESTION???
I am cd11 and I was wondering when I should start using my ovulation kit?
My cycles are usually 30 days and the pack I bought has 7 test strips in it.

[Popcorn799]

Bam: I hope you test again and yo have some good luck, but if this isn't the right month for you I hope the beastly COW shows up real soon.

Erica: My fingers are still crossed for you....Like I said, I do not trust the dollarama brand one bit. I think it only detects hcg over 100, but thats my own opinion.

Smr08: I guess you will test in about one week or so. Good luck and I hope we hear some good news form you soon too.

Mikaleen: Do you think all chances are off? How many times did you test? How far along would you be at this point? Are you going for blood work?

I had my Dr's apt today and she said that my hcg level was 2 and she did not see a reason for us to wait to ttc. She has put me on prescribed prenatal pills. They contain more iron and 5mg of folic acid. I take one in the morning and one at night. She also wants me to use an ovulation kit so I can pinpoint exactly when I ovulate to make sure that my luteal phase was too short due to my last chemical pregnancy. I'm very glad we can try again right away....thanks for all your help over the last two weeks.

[hazleyez]

Thanx Bam yes about time she came and hopsefully the last time i see her for 10 months lol... hoping for a BFP next month.. :0)

[GMB08]

i like the clear blue easy digi...but since this group i do the dollar store for starters........if i ever get my bfp on a dollar store..then ill follow up with the digi.....and on the digi..seeing not pregnant is worse than not seeing two lines..............

[MiaIvan]

What was the earliest you got your BFP in the TWW?  What brand did your use?

[mapes10]

Good luck to everyone in the TWW.  The waiting things stinks, but hopefully we will get some BFPs to celebrate.
Bam- if the cow is going to come, I hope she comes soon.

BTW I have a RANDOM rant- being a teacher I sometimes wonder why people reproduce.  I know that is mean, but some of the kids are so HELPLESS.  If they can't do something the very first time they try, they just quit.  They would never survive our forum with some women having to try over and over again with disappointing results.  I just want to say that I admire everyone's persistence.  Some of you have been trying for a while with several disappointments, and you still try.  YOU'RE AWESOME!!!

[MiaIvan]

I started the big O yesterday!!! So in about 10 days I will test.  

[smr08]

Hi everyone! Well i'm CD20 today and i'm praying that I hit the day : ) This is my first time trying and boy is it stressful! I have very light cramping and a little pressure in my lower belly, I also feel very hot, hopefully it's not af showing up early again this month : (  Mikaleen, I'm still not ruling you and Erica out, you both deserve a BFP.

Bam- I'm hoping nothing but the best for you! You are such a sweet person and very helpful.

Mialvan- I know exactly how you feel : )

[mikaleen]

Happy TWW!  I am like you...terrified after 2 m/c in a row and wondering what I am thinking.  Some days I think, Hey, it happened twice already, it's not gonna happen a third...and other days I think, Man, it's happened twice already...why NOT a third?  Good luck, and we are due for some definate BFP's! (not mine and Erica's is it or isn't it... =) )
