tada....she's heerrreeee!!

[bioclock1]

She has arrived, finally! After a 42 day cycle, my LONGEST IN MY LIFE I have started AF. It's hilariously ironic to me that she arrives the day after I get my beta. I know, I know, most of you will say that this is b/c the worrying/stress stopped but let me correct you. I had suspected that surgery threw my O date off, and I O'd on CD 28...which was really odd but that was my guess. So the WHOLE time i've been late, I expected AF to show at least by 2/9 and if she didn't THEN i would go get tested. OF course, with going to work and vomiting, I immediately thought something else was up, and then I got a negative result on both qualitative and quantitative. So maybe a little bit of stress didn't help things out, but i'm okay that she came. DH and I woulda been thrilled, but we'd much rather have it happen when we're TOTALLY ready. Hopefully that will be in June when we've agreed, but sometimes I think maybe waiting wouldn't be a bad idea. With the economy the way it is, and our financial situation not being the best (we don't even have a savings account) I can't help but wonder. Then again...they say you can "never really be ready." So, we'll see.

Just wanted to thank ALL OF YOU who helped me when i was tormenting myself with WHAT IFs. Thank you to KEEPYOURFAITH, MATRIKADRAGOON, ALWAYSHOPEFUL, MOTHEROFAN18MONTH, and anyone else that helped me....I really appreciate your words of wisdom and advice.
HOpefully I'll be on here with a BFP soon (deep down, I'  know i'm ready)!!!

How exciting!! I can't wait till then!! I'm with you...a major chocoholic! I'm losing weight before ttc so that also gives me something to focus on unti June arrives! since our cycles are relatively close, it would be neat to find out we were preggo together!!! Till then, Valentines' day will be enjoyed with tons of chocolate and maybe even some wine! DH's bday is the 18th so we have much to celebrate!
Glad you're not too bummed about the missed bfp this time around...and it sounds like you've got a good plan going with ttc in june and missing the summer months. That was my intention as well..but only b/c I get sick if its too hot, like migraine sick! I'm excited, lets keep in touch!!!

Awwwwwwww mannnn!!! Bummer! Since mine started on 2/1.... I would ovulate around the 11th-14th. I guess I can look at it this way, if I were pregnant I'd probably be too sick to enjoy Valentines Day. Or wouldn't enjoy my chocolate. LOL I love CHOCOLATE WITH A PASSION! And definetly eat more on Valentines Day than I ever do. I think it's best Dh & I wait. He also said something about June to TTC. I think he said since it would be around our anniversary, of when we first met, it would be special.
He can be so sweet sometimes. lol Of course if it happens before then, I'll be like you.. Thrilled. I can still remember the exact time I met him, and the exact time we had our first kiss and where it was. Ahh.. Love love love... lol.


I've been giving this TTC a second thought. As much as I would love a baby right now, I don't want to spend the first half of this new year already pregnant. I won't be able to handle being pregnant in the Summer. My asthma get's too bad and I use my puffer a lot.
Whether or it would hurt the baby, I don't want to be spending my time worrying about it. So if I get pregnant around June/July It won't be that bad. So it looks like you have yourself a TTC buddy in JUNE!!

thanks motherofan18month.
I know I will have a son soon..i've dreamed of him and this gives me peace. I also know it will happen when God intends it and DH and I desire it. Until then, I"m totally content. Thank you for your support throughout this curious point in my life...

[motherofan18month]

awwwe, sorry to hear about the visit, but yes it will happen when you are ready!! i prayed many times in January that i would get preggo and so far i have taken 5 tests (different brands) and all are are dark bfp's!! and i know in my heart & gut that this is it!! just like with my son....the day after i got my bfp's with him i started having nausea, vomiting, cramps, sore bb's, fatigue majorly.....and this is the same feeling........i really hope you get your bfp soon.......lots & lots of SSBD!!!!!!!!!!

I've been in these same shoes many times. Thankfully Metformin helped my cycles regulate to 32 days instead of 42. Anyway, whatever happens, best of luck!
