GOT MY BETA! 1492!!! 46 hour doubling time, Ill take it! Keep growing!

sugarandomsam - Yes! I never could get used to the taste. I only had to really do them for a month and I was glad when that was over. She also wanted me to start drinking kombucha everyday. At least that taste I could get used to, but there's not really alot of studies about how it can affect you when you are pregnant so I stopped drinking it just in case.

Acrichton - Those are excellent numbers. I had a friend that didn't really "feel" pregnant until almost 8 weeks and she has a beautiful daughter. I know it can be unnerving because you just want to "feel" it.

Acrichton - yay for your numbers!! Grow, baby, grow!

cristi - that's funny about your cat! My oldest sister has horses, and the first one she bought was a white Arabian named RC. He was always her special guy. When she got pregnant, he would follow her around the corral and not let any of the other horses near her. It was like he was watching over her! And he did it almost from the time she figured she conceived. Isn't that weird? He was always very gentle, and would sniff her tummy each time she came in to feed or water or brush them. Animals can be something else.

Beautiful - oh my goodness! God bless you, hon. That's got to be tough. and you get some good news.

kotikd - I had an abnormal pap in 2007/2008. Scared the crap out of me. They had me come back in and get tested again, were very serious, etc. The 2nd test was fine, and the only thing they could figure was the first test was too close to AF and something about it threw the test off. I'm sorry you have to wait until Monday, but try not to worry too much.

acrichton - such great news!!! So happy to hear that!!!!

whew, thanks gals. Now I can try to relax and focus on getting you guys bfps in the meantime!! :D

@acrichton - CONGRATS! That's awesome! Baby is definitely growing growing growing! (-:

ANyone testing soon? I tested last night at 8 or 9 DPO and BFN. I will test again I think tomorrow morning because that should put me at 10 or 11 DPO. (this is all a guestimate with my miscarraige being the start of my cycle) However, I am having some twinges in my lower abdomen. But it seems like I have them most cycles anyway, but I always want to read into it. We'll see.

FX'ed!

Acrichton - wonderful numbers!! Grow baby grow!!

Sounds like everyone else is playing the waiting game??

AFM - I got my + OPK yesterday. We BD Sunday and last night...hoping to BD tonight, too. Then, I think I'm just going to have faith and have sex the rest of the month when it feels right, you know?? O day for me is CD17 this cycle rather than CD20...I hope this is good. My LP is usually about 14 days give or take a day or so. Looks like I'll be testing around December 10th sometime. Hopefully, I can hold out! Oh, I have a whole pineapple! When would I start that? O day, today, or 1DPO tomorrow?? Thanks, Ladies!!

FX and baby dust!!

Koti- I've had a couple of abnormal paps. I haven't had one in years though. I wouldn't worry too much just yet.

Spartie- Sorry you are out doll!

gds- Good for you getting that witch out of your life. A Christmas BFP would be amazing!

Mylucky-hopefully your non intentional , intentional BD did the trick!! FX'd

GVMD- Sorry about the cramps!!!

Sugar- You have the opposite issue I had according to TCM. Acupuncture certainly makes me feel good! I'm addicted and haven't been since before my procedure. I canâ??t wait to get the all clear to go back! Iâ??m not sure about your monitor question but to address what your Dr. said, even if you O'd yesterday, I think you can still catch your egg the day after O.

felurian-How are you feeling?

Cristi- In my family, cats hanging around is definitely a sign of pregnancy. I think it has something to do with them being able to smell your incoming milk. I know it sounds crazy but that what my family has always said so I go with it. LOL!

fiverson-Bless you! I pray that your follow up is flawless!

aclark- show us a pic of the BFP!!!!

tgpreg- The truth is, you don't have to feel anything. I think it was Bammom from our July board that said she didn't feel anything and BAM! she got a BFP! FX'd!

Beautiful- Forgive me if you've answered this already, have you seen a Dr. yet? Maybe you need a push to get AF started if you're not pregnant.

Penny- When are you testing?

Acrichton- Woooohooo!!!! I'm so happy for you!!!! I WISH you could get me my BFP! LOL! If we could give each other BFP's just based on the support we get from one another, we would all be having multiples by now!

AFM- Nothing to report. I'm hoping that I will stop bleeding for at least a few days before AF is supposed to show. I'm ready to BD!!! LOL! I think Iâ??m Oing now. I wish I were well enough to BD now. I read that my chances may be increased after my lap.

5-6dpo with cramping and rollercoaster emotions. Sounds like af is prepared to show soon. TTC is so hard! Why can't mybody just cooperate already?! No temping next cycle too stressful and tired of the inconsistencies.

GVMDL: Thank you for the info. Well, I never use tampons, I know they give me infections, so its not that...
I live in a retirement area, so it is hard to get a doctor's appointment from one day to the next. But my appointment was moved to tomorrow, someone cancelled, so I will know what is happening tomorrow.
I am better today, I am having trouble sleeping, which normally happens close to the full moon so I think I am ok.
I also have acupuncture tomorrow, I hope he can make me relax and sleep!
How are you? Are the cramps gone?

Sugar: I wish we had 3 hour Zumba classes....
I am not very familiar with the clearblue tests, sorry IDK.
I would start around CD8 every day or other day until the day after the smiley stops. This way you would catch your fertile period and right after ovulation.
If you ovulate of CD12, on CD15-16 will not help, the egg lives 12-24 hours, it takes sperm 10-12 hours to convert in order to fertilize, so even 24 hours after ovulation is too late. However, I heard that the ClearBlue can be inaccurate so maybe when there is no smiley then stop?
As for being relaxed and sleeping well after acupuncture is the desired result no matter what they are treating.

Cristi: Thanks, I am better today, worried in the back of my mind but overall ok. Trying to remember that there is nothing I can do about it at the moment and trying not to stress myself anymore (the key word, trying...)
Loved your proud mommy moment
I hope your DH is having your early symptoms and he will have the rest of them too while you sail through !
Cat signs too, that is great for a for you!!!

fiverson: Thank you for sharing, I hope your check up is all clear.
I am trying not to worry before I actually know what is happening.
I hope that if it was serious they would do an emergency appointment.

aclark: for a tonight!!!!

tgpreg: I now try to avoid any comments about my mood or any other feeling, I think when you get into 20s people start watching you for pregnancy, I don't know what it is but it just happens.
I have my for a for you!

beautifuldisaster: Sorry for the long cycle you are having. Did you try RRL tea or seed cycling to try and kick start ? So people appear to have had luck with that.

pennylane: Thanks for sharing. What changes did you see with acupuncture?
I have my for a for you!

acrichton: on the great results!!!!

rebecca: Thank you for sharing. I feel a lot better knowing so many people at one point or another had one. This is my first, and hopefully the last .
How are you doing?

while: and !!!

MyLuckyDuck: Good job on !!!
As for the pineapple, 1-5DPO.

Blushing: Thanks, I am trying not to worry.
I think you should probably let your body heal before , and hopefully next cycle you get a !!!!

AFM: So my doctor appointment was moved to tomorrow morning, YEY!!! I get to find out tomorrow what happened.
CD20, no ovulation yet, maybe not ovulating this month? It looked like I was going to several days ago, but maybe the stress delayed it, waiting again.
I am doing ok today, I just don't think this is our month. I hope everyone is doing well.
I can't wait for all the here, you are my hope , thank you!
