Zyara - what great news! Praying things go well for you this cycle. How wonderful that your body is prepping itself.

Miracle - can't wait to hear back from your appt. Hope you can work your timing around it.

Bean - loving the baby bump, lady! How sweet a picture.

Skyline - how are you and your family? Hopefully no more attempts at your front doors? And by the way, I'm really enjoying your husband's movie reviews. He does a great job. Love the video of Oliver talking and playing with his feet. If he and Titus ever got together I'll bet they'd talk for hours.

Athena - you've done such great work and look fabulous! And Eli is growing so fast and filling out. What a cutie!

Lschrader - how are you? How close are things for you in your cycle and IVF? I'm so sorry it's been such a hard journey for you, and that right now you're feeling surrounded by friends who're celebrating pregnancy themselves. Glad you have your dh by your side.

Makeupmommy - your little girl is just a doll! What a sweetie!

Afm - it's so hard to believe that I'll be trying again in a few short days! AF is almost over. Normally my ovulation would be either day 14 or 15, but since my cycle is still getting back into the groove after having Titus, I'm not really sure when it will be this time. But at least we get to practice if nothing else, My older kids are slowly getting better. We took our 16 yr old on another college visit - hardest thing ever, although we had fun - and our dd has to see the ENT to make sure her tonsils don't need to be removed because they're causing sleep apnea. Other than that we're ok. Part of me is so afraid I #1 won't be able either conceive or carry a baby again, or #2 if I get pregnant and give birth I won't be able to handle an infant and a toddler, not to mention having a child going to college and then my other two. But I don't want Titus to grow up alone, and I don't "feel done" if that makes any sense. Well, we'll see what happens.

Hi Ladies.

Happy Valentine's Day! Hope everyone is enjoying time with their loved ones! :) I will do my best with baby dancing before I leave for my RE appt on Thurs at 5 am. I either will "O" on Wed, Thurs or Fri. I will bed Wednesday night and hope for the VERY BEST.

@Football - Congratulations on giving birth to little Winston. He is just precious. So very happy for you and your dh!

AFM - I don't have any time to reply to everyone right now, but just wanted to say hi. You are all in my thoughts. Grateful for fb connections so that I can get a glimpse of how you are all doing.

Hi ladies!

As you've all seen and heard, our little Winston was born this past Friday. It was/is amazing.

I can't believe he's already here! It's been an amazing but difficult few days. I want to write down his birth story soon, but for now, I need to go cuddle him!

Much love to you ladies!

@football CONGRATULATIONS!! I am so happy and excited for you, can't wait to hear it all :)
@miracle I am excited about your RE appointment, I'm sure everything will go wonderful
How everyone spent their Valentines? Hope you had a great one!

I don't even know what dpo I am, I am guessing is 3-4 since I got triggered past Thursday. We been doing our homework every day for the past 5 days in the hope we will catch one of those eggs. I am very excited and hopefully this will be our month. I had some weird feeling on my ovaries for the past 3 days so I think the medication actually worked this time and that makes me so happy.

Anyway, I'm getting ready for work now, I just wanted to stop by to say hi and send you all my love and prayers.

Have a great week!!

@football- So excited fror you lady! Winston is adorable!!! Can't wait to hear your birth story!

@miracle- Wheeeeee tomorrow is your appointment!!!!! I cannot wait to hear what they tell you! You will have to update us and I hope you catch your O!!!

I hope everyone is doing well! Thinking about you all!

AFM- Thought I would give you an update on me and IVF. I just had my baseline ultraound this morning. This is where they are able to see how many follices they will be working with for my cycle. This had to be done anywhere from CD1-5. Last month my ovaries did not look great, so i was really nervous for this. Last month i had six on one side, and 11 on the other, so the side with six was pretty low. Today they showed I had 13 on the side that had six last month and 11 again on the other!!! Huge improvement! I just feel great about that!!! Started my birth control today also. Here we go!

Hi Ladies,

Well, I had to reschedule my RE appt until next Month March 25th. :( Good news is I'm ovulating today/tomorrow so I can baby dance the night away and all day tomorrow. Partner has been amazingly supportive and loving lately. We are in a happy place as a couple right now. :) We are both making effort and subtle changes in our relationship. I'm calmer than I have been in over 2 years with TTC. I feel like God is giving me peace right now in my heart about it all. I hope this feeling lasts no matter what the outcome is. :)

@Football - CONGRATULATIONS! Can't wait to hear your birth story of little baby Winston. Get your rest mama.

@lschrader - So happy to hear that you have started the IVF process. Yahoooo! 13 and 11 follicles is great! Holding your in my prayers every step of the way. So happy to be a part of your ttc journey. I want regular updates.. lol

@Zayra - Glad you feel like the new meds are working. I am praying for you that this is your BFP cycle. Keep us posted.

Everyone else ~ Hope you are well. Check in when you can.

Hello everyone!! Hope you are having a wonderful day!!

@miracle thank you for your good wishes, I'm very lucky to have you all in my life encouraging me to stay possitive through this TTC journey...

@lschared I am so happy everything is working great, I'm pretty sure everything is gonna go wonderful and pretty soon you'll be giving us great news!!

@football How Winston is going?? :)

Well, I'm 6-7 DPO (I believe is actually 6), so far the first 5 days I felt pretty good, had some twinges on my ovaries going on, some day left some right ovary and sometimes both lol but nothing out of the ordinary... Anyway today I feel so weird, usually when I'm on my period I feel my pelvis like sensitive and bloated and backache. Today I feel like that, like if I'm in the middle of AF, had some minor cramping and I'm bloated and my pelvis is like sore. My legs feel heavy as if I runned a marathon and my lower back hurts. My breast feels normal, heavier but no pain. Is too early for AF to show her ugly face, I hope the new meds didn't mess up my period and I'm gonna get it sooner?? I woke up at 4 am, was having a very vivid dream (eating Mexican at my moms place) I was so hungry and left the bed, wasn't able to go back to sleep till 7:30 am. I hope this whole thing pays off soon ;)

What about you girls? How you been doing? Any news? Sending you my best wishes!!

Just wanted to quickly check in with everyone. I don't have much time right now...it's amazing how much time newborns require!

@LSchrader- I am so excited for you! Lets get this show on the road!! How are you feeling about everything? You and your hubs are in my prayers!

@Miracle- Hope you got some nice quality time with your DP! So sorry you had to reschedule for next month, but it brought a smile to my face to hear that you and your partner are in a good place!

@Zyara- How are you feeling? Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

How's everyone else?

@Pisces- where are you?!?

AFM- I'm doing well. Healing sucks but that's what to expect when you push a big baby out of a little hole. It's been tough work getting used to a newborn. No sleep, throbbing vagina, hard/sore boobs. But it's all worth it. I can't believe the love I feel when I look into his eyes. It's surreal to know that he grew inside of me and he's my son. Sorry to get all emotional.

My husband's still home from work until Monday, so when I get some spare time I plan on writing his birth story. I want to do it ASAP so I don't forget anything.

Hugs to everyone!

Hi ladies. I am 1 dpo today. Feel great about my timing. I bedded real late saturday night. Right about the same time I started to feel my Ovulation pains (aches/throbs) in my ovaries. I used preseed which I hadn't done in a long time. DP doesn't like the preseed b/c he doesn't enjoy the extra lube...tmi.. lol. I was able to baby dance Sunday evening. I felt O pains off and on yesterday and finally one quick painful pinch in my right ovary late last night before bed. I actually yelled out loud and my dp asked what was wrong. I said "gas probably", but it was strong in my right ovary. Saying my prayers and expecting a miracle to come my way! :)

@Zayara - Anything you feel out of the ordinary 6 dpo and beyond in the 2ww can be HCG related or the hormone progesterone related. They mimic the same exact symptoms. I hope in your case it's bfp related and you got a little bean implanting as we speak.

@Football - Of course you are emotional. This is a HUGE deal. You just gave birth to your little baby. Your last post made me laugh and tear up. I am over the moon happy for you! Can't wait to hear your birth story when you get time.

@Lschrader - How are you feeling? You started the birth control? Has the 1 month count down began yet?

@Rebecca, Athena, Skyline, Pisces, Bean and anyone else I have forgotten hope you are all well.

Miracle - your timing sounds great! sent your way!! Also looking forward to what your specialist has to say.

Football - I'm SO happy for you. Like Miracle, your post made me get teary eyed. Love the pictures on FB. I think little Winston certainly favors you in the shape of his face and nose. He does have big hands...I know our pedi said Titus would probably be a big guy too once she saw his hands. But who knows? Can't wait to hear the birth story. Hope you're able to get some rest, momma.

Zyara - hoping your symptoms are all BFP related and not AF hormones. We all know how tricky that can be. Keep us updated.

Lschrader - super excited for you! I know if it's hard for me to wait for updates from you, it's got to be hard for you living it. Praying hard for you, and just doing the happy dance that you and your dh are where you are in your journey. I think good things are coming your way!

Pisces, Skyline, Bean, and anyone else I've forgotten - how are you ladies?

Afm - think I'm getting ready to O! We've been bding EOD, which let me tell you is not easy with a 5 month old and 3 other kids. Lol! But even if it doesn't get me pregnant, it sure has been fun, and made my dh and I feel closer again.
