Kizzy, sorry the witch got you.. ugh I really don't like her!

Acrichton, I am so excited to hear your results today! I just know you will be able to tell the family and you truly have something to be over the moon thankful for! The RE told me not to test, but I am an addict... I think I will probably test on Turkey Day but I am sure it will be way to early for a BFP. I will only be 9 dpo... I have gotten a bfp at 8 dpo though... so who knows! I am doing good just losing patience. Haha! Good luck and post the numbers as soon as you know! :)

Cristi - I'm so jealous that you didn't test out the trigger. I decided to and it's making me CRAZY. I'm near obsessing over it. I should have just left it alone and waited as well. My test this morning was the very, very faintest of faint have to look at it just right to see it positive, so I'm hoping that's pretty much it and anything darker at this point will be a real BFP. We will see. Did you have any side effects from the trigger at all?

Hi girls,
I hope everyone is doing well going into the thanksgiving week. Ididn't post last week because work was crazy. Plus during my fertile period my DH and I BD only 3 times and my husband went way for a few days. I was a little bummed about that.
I have been feeling run down all least week so chances are I m coming down with something. I also felt cramping low in my abdomen for 3-4days since Tuesday. Not sure what to make of it yet. I m 7DPO
I m just trying to make through the holidays with out being sick.
It seems everyone is doing well and chugging along.
I was sad to hear showed up for Kizzy.
Everyone in the TWW crossed.
7praying for lots of to announce to our families during the holidays season.

Kizzy, gl on the next cycle! hope this is the one for you my dear.

kot, we all have times we feel confused. stay strong... I do too, many times... im sure we all here experience the same many feelings. ttc is a cruel process. Don't let it take over your life. getting our minds off of it is helpful.
I am sure my fsh numbers are not great to begin with, due to my age and the fact I was a smoker, likely my chances to have a rainbow baby are slim to none, im bummed out with the chemical last month, translate to me like: Dani, your eggs are no good in quality. all is have is hope, im leaving it up to God's hands, and the prayers from ea one of you in this forum. tough but im just staying or trying to stay very busy so I don't lose it, u know?
you WILL have a sticky bean very soon! believe it!

penny: fx lines will get darker !!!!!

blushing and Christi - I wish I could just test and not let it affect me. I just cant see bfn's.. In 2005 it wasa whole year of disappointments and really took a toll on me then. When I finally conceived my first I wasn't trying anymore... and only tested because my dh at the time insisted. it was a bfp. With my second, a total surprise since I conceived when my first was only 4 1/2 months old, I was in disbelief, but soooooo happy.
The third I lost back in may, took few months. Since then I test every month on af due date, and my last bfp so faint turned out to be a chemical. I tested on my af due date, actually the night before.
I find so painful to test that I avoid at all costs. I cant shake it off the disappointment so quick, sooooo more powerful to you girls!
I do think it is helpful to test early. And be proactive.
When I have my apt with the fertility specialist if I start doing triggers or any other treatment to help my situation here I may face the testing more like a different process, who knows...

Rebecca, how are you dear?

Acri: my bet for your numbers of today.. hmmm over 500! just let us know!

Sorry if I am missing anyone, im sure I am but im running out the door again to help out at the school cafeteria, today and tomorrow. Then im going to have a full house for thanksgiving. I am blessed to find ways to stay busy. The forum has been a Godsend in my life too. I have learned so much, and you all helped during tough times.

Im sure at some point we all will be blessed with healthy sticky beans. Patience is a virtue right? I think the most important is for us to be proactive while ttc, if we need help from doctors so be it. Supplements, so be it. we need to do whats within our reach. And have faith. it will happen.

baby dust and sticky vibes to all

Quick update....first appt with RE next Tuesday! Feeling very optimistic as he has great review and a personal friend became pregnant after seeing him. Come on 2014 baby!

Hi ladies,
5dpo today...or whatever, hard to know for sure.

I had a dream last night that my good friend gave me a cheapie HPT to test with at a random party, and she took one too....and we both had two beautiful pink lines.

It was very clear.....I really, really believe it was happening.

DH and I haven't BD since the last day of my EWCM....which was seriously a week ago...geez!
This damn itching and whatever that is going on seems to be on it's way out so hopefully we can have so more fun over the long weekend!

I bought three tests at the store last night. I told my DH it is the longest I have gone without testing and he said he was proud. (-: Today is either 8 or 9 DPO. I might test in the morning for the heck of it. But I'm not like "feeling" pg so whatevs.

@acrichton - what is next for you? Where are you in your tests?

~K

While: hey hun!! I give you credit for not testing, but I didn't feel pg at all when I got the bfp.

I got another beta draw today, should get results tonight or tomorrow morning. So nervous for some reason. Called the dr's office to see when I might have results and the gal and the desk asked if I have any nausea yet (she asks every time I call..) when I said, "no nothing yet", she said "huh....ok". I'm like seriously this lady has no idea how paranoid I am right now, was not the best thing to ask.

Speaking of symptoms, for being 5 weeks today (4w4 days if you go by my O), I really don't have any to speak of. BBs only hurt to the touch, and peeing more because I drink a ton of water. Not really even cramping today. Who knows. Ill feel better when I get my beta and it is up around 1200+ (where it should be, as 4 days have passed since I got my last one at 324)

Thank you all for the prayers and well wishes!

Cristi- I hope the message helps you!

Kizzy- I'm sorry about AF. Hopefully, she will pack her sh*t and go shortly.

acrichton- Can't wait to see your beta draw today. For the record, not everyone has tons of symptoms. I'm annoyed with that girl that asked about your nausea. Damn her!

NYchick- Babydust!

GVMD- I'm over testing myself. If I didn't have that one ectopic in my history, I most likely wouldn't test early. I really wish that I could simply wake up one day and decide to test because I have that "feeling" and get a BFP. Life is so different when you have to TTC.

Pbc- GL on your appt.

tgpreg-Hopefully that dream will ring true.

While- BD!

AFM- nothing to report. Its cold here and I want to crawl back into bed. UGH! I'm so excited to be going home on Wed. I canâ??t wait to see my momma and nephew. He's a freshmen in college so I haven't seen him since August. He's been my baby all this time and will continue to be. He hates it, but I love and kiss on him like he's still a three year old. LOL!

Part 1 of 2:

Blushing: Its my ND (Naturopathic Doctor), I got one of those last week because I will have to wait a while for a fertility specialist and I really do not want to take any drugs so I will do my best to fix everything I can naturally.
Seed cycling is when you take certain seeds for the pre ovulations phase and others for the post ovulation. Certain seeds support the natural hormone production and therefore help regulate the cycles even for people who did not have a period for a very long time. It is actually quite exciting, it takes several months to see results but I love to have a natural option to do this, you know the alternative is actual hormones, so seeds sound just great .
I am so glad DH is taking good care of you!
I really you you will be one of the success stories and the next cycle will be your cycle !!!!

pennylane: I know what you mean, but with me I cannot really know when I am nearing the fertile window, it can be a 2-3 week period and I already get frustrated when I test OPK for a couple of weeks one a day, doing it 2-3 times a day would just be emotionally exhusting.
I am thinking, I will start the seed cycling, and maybe that will help with predicting ovulation.... I am just confused.... You think you will know better by cycle 10, but you just get more and more confused .
Thank you for the info, my temps went down today so I am thinking maybe I did not ovulate, maybe I had odd couple of days. Anyway I will keep testing OPK and hope for the best.
How are you doing?
Wow this might be it for you

DevLan: Welcome to August Board, and

MyLuckyDuck: I have my for you!!! and

Cristi: I wish this was it for me, but temps went back down, I don't think this is it, I think my cycles have a competition, which one will be most confusing .
for a for you!!!
