Hey ladies

Tigerett: I agree with with Scarlet. It sounds like a good idea to me too.

Hi Tracy! How are you girl???

Scarlet:The dip can still be implantion especially with the cramps. So dont start giving up just yet. Hopefully in a day or so you will start spotting and that will comfirm the fact that it was implantation! I'm praying for you.

Afm: I have started having brown / cm type discharge again and mt Hpt Are still positive. My last hcg blood test (which was last monday) was 364. So it's dropping like 1/2 a week. AS SOON AS I THINK THE spotting has stopped i wipe and its on the tp. Grrrrrrrrt. Im so tired of this. I am ready to move on. ....
I just got back from getting my blood drawn. I will take another hpt tommorow to see if it has gotten any lighter.

Hope you guys had a great day-!

Hello Ladies
I hope you are all doing well

As for me
Back to CD1 showed her ugly self this morning.

Lots of lucky and to you all this cycle. I am not looking forward to the whole two week wait thing again.
This cycle I will be trying the mucinex thing because I figure I got nothing to lose by doing so. I am also taking your advice and BD one or two days after expected ovulation even if OPK positive was few days before. It cant hurt to try it after all.
We have an appointment set up for 19 september and I am going to request a referral to a fertility specialist. I am still exercising and losing weight slowly.I had hoped of being 3 pounds lighter then I currently am by August but long as I reach my goal of dropping another 20 pounds by end of December I will be happy. Of course if I get a by then I wont be doing the dropping weight part but happily gaining it.
I have not had anymore nightmares and am finally sleeping good again. I believe I am taking the advice from you ladies and am going to skip this months cycle of clomid. I read that its effectiveness is reduced the longer you take it. I am not sure how true that is but I bet my body will be happy to have a non chemical cycle.

Good morning Ladies. Hope everyone is doing good.

Zuberi- I'm sure the spotting and waiting for your numbers to get back to normal can be frustrating. I'm keeping you in my prayers.

Tigerette- Sorry arrived. Hope and pray this cycle will be your cycle. Try to relax some (I know easier said than done lol). And try to make bd exciting for you and hubby I think it helps both of you relax and that is important when trying to concieve. It is just as important for the little swimmers that he is relaxed as well as for you to be relaxed. This was how we appraoched things this cycle still not sure if it worked but we were both more relaxed and enjoyed the process a lot more. And actually bd more than normal lol. And also does your hubby take vitamins. I made Greg(fiance) start taking multi vitamins its good for his swimmers to make strong babies and he cut his caffine down to about 1 soda pop a day as well as I cut my caffine down to 1 soda and most days none.

Traci- We miss you and are thinking about you. Hope you are having a great time.

Afm- 10 dpo my temp went back up 8dpo (5dpo 97.77, 6dpo 97.45, 7dpo 97.45, 8dpo 97.86, 9dpo 98.01, 10 dpo 97.78) and my boobs are getting more tender by the day. In fact I can't stand to wear my bra it hurts them soooo much. No more cramps since 8dpo. Very fatigued and peeing all the time. Increased cm, gassy, eating everything in sight lol (especially wanting corn chips and chocolate cupcakes together) . But I get alot of the same symptoms when is due so I'm trying very hard not to get my hopes up. I'm going to try to hold off testing to see if comes. But doubt I'll make it lol. I really want to test today.

Chat with you ladies soon.

Love hugs prayers

Good evening, ladies, may I join your group? I'm 40 & TTCing my second (DH is 45). We actually gave up trying a year ago after a miscarriage at 10 weeks & TTCing for over a year. I had just figured it wasn't meant to be so we stopped trying even tho we weren't using birth control of any kind. But then I had a CP last cycle which showed me that I could still get pregnant at my age so we decided to give TTCing another try at least for a little bit so we'll see what happens.

Anyway, hello to y'all and lots of baby dust all 'round!

Good Morning Ladies. Hope everyone is doing good today.

KDdid21- Welcome to our little group. We're excited to have you on board with us. Sorry to hear about your miscarriage last year. I know how hard they are. Anything you want to talk about (or obsess about which is usually me lol) we're hear for you.

Tracy- Your still in our thoughts and prayers. Hope you & fiance (soon to be hubby) are having a great time. We miss you!!

Tigerette- How are you. Hope all is well with you. I'm praying this is your guys cycle.

Zuberi- Glad you finally stopped spotting and that your HPT is finally negative (never thought I would say that on here lol). I'm keeping you in my prayers and I know it won't be long before you get another .

Afm- 11dpo and temp 97.84 this morning still high and a little higher than yesterday. Pretty much feel like I did yesterday. Really sick and light headed last night. In fact fiance said "you think you could be pregnant?" He was so cute we've only been trying forever it seems like and last night when he saw how sick I was I thought he was going to pass out lol. (My big brave fireman lol) Had horrible headache last night too. This morning woke up little nauseous but not like I was last night. Ready to go back to bed even though I've only been up since 5:00 lol. Usually by 10dpo I've started spotting and 11dpo period starts and temp drops. I'm trying desperately not to get my hopes up but keeping anyway. I was going to test this morning but was so afraid I would get a . I talked myself out of it. I'll keep you guys posted once I get the nerve to take a test or if arrives.

Chat with you ladies soon!!

Good morning to all!

Scarlet - Thanks. Wow those all sound like great signs - especially the temp! But I know after trying for so long, we work very hard not to get our hopes up. I'll send up a prayer for you this a.m. and lots of baby & sticky dust your way!

AFM - my chart is actually looking pretty good. I had a dip below the coverline at 6dpo (had cramps at 5, 6 & 7 dpo) & my temp has steadily risen for three days since then (currently at 9dpo). I've had a teeny tiny bit of nausea but other than that & the cramping, no symptoms so we'll see. Currently on CD26 with a normal cycle of 26 - 28 days & will probably test tomorrow.

Well ladies against my better judgement I just tested and of course . Now I'm so depressed. Guess just wait for AF and start over again.

Good morning ladies. I hope everyone is doing good.

I just wanted to update everyone about my last post. I'm 12dpo and still no sign is on her way. My breast are still really tender and I'm peeing all the time. My temp is still high. I stay hot all the time even with the thermostat set on 68 lol. Thats not like me I usually freeze lol. When I checked my cervix this morning it was low and hard and loads of creamy cm. I did some reading on other TTC sight forums. And there were several women with 10 day lp that said they didn't get there till 14-16dpo. So im going to try to stay optimistic until AF shows up. I'm praying for all you ladies.

Chat soon.

Love hugs prayers
