Sarahnoelle congratulations on your

Congratulations sarahnoelle! I guess biding everyday worked for you guys. My mothers birthday is October 3rd. It's a great day to have a baby! I also got married September 2013 so I'm hoping to have the same luck as you this month!

I'm cd07 today. I usually O around cd13 so I'm going to start BDing daily around 09. We have guests visiting us for 2 weeks starting that day so we'll have to get a little sneaky!
I'm meeting with my doctor tomorrow morning to discuss our options. I feel like she's going to tell me to be patient because it's only been 6 months and my periods are regular/so are my O's. We are so ready to be parents and we're just not sure what we're doing wrong! If there is anything I can do to help get a bfp now I'm up for it! I'll keep everyone posted with what she says.

Hoping we all bfp's this month!

Hello ladies. Just want to say congratulations to all of the bfp.. I am hoping I can share in the happiness soon. So I hope yall dont mind my little rant right now. I think im 6 or 7dpo.. something like that IF I even ovulated when I think I did.. I decided not to chart or opk or anything this month since I was going to be away for most of my fertile days. I bd'd twice once on each of the expected O days. I dont think it was enough but then again I never think its enough. I don't feel any symptoms for anything. I keep telling myself im not going to scrutinize every last symptom but this month I dont have too cuz I dont have much. My biggest reason I believe I am out is because my BB are tender just like they do before my AF which is scheduled for Sat. I have absolutely no plans to test this month. And as I type I am becoming moody and emotional.. sigh.. pre-AF Symptoms. I have been having vivid pregnancy dreams very vivid but maybe cuz its been on my mind. My nipples burned and was itchy at 1-2dpo. Weird for me but im not thinking much of it. Of course my throat was was scratchy and nose stuffy but its winter here or maybe I was imagining it. I have a glass of wine last night with dinner.. lets just say I could only tolerate one glass BUT again it may be all in my head.. I have lack of appetite but then again im trying to lose weight... so all of these "symptoms" really could be ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.. im so frustrated. Its hard not to think about this.. its almost easier to tell my self I am pregnant and just be disappointed for a day when AF show up then try to ignore the two week wait...hymph even my auto correct is annoying me and I want to cry... oh gosh I am definitely out this month :-(..

Thank you ladies! I was shocked to see my positive! Only symptoms I have are very close to PMS. I hope this is your month too Katie! BDing every night sure helped us. Sneaking around can make things exciting! My cycles are pretty irregular but glad I caught O! It came on CD 19 this month. Good luck catching your eggy!

Congrats Sarahnoelle & Molissa!! That's such great news.

This is my first 2 week wait. I'm 6 dpo and I have mild cramping which is not typical for me. Also I've noticed cm which I normally only see during the week of ovulation. I had a significant dip in basal temp this morning which at first I was bummed about but just read that can happen during implantation. I'm not going to get my hopes up yet but excited to experience something different than normal. I think I'm going to wait for af to be late and not test. Af has come at the same time for 5 months straight so ill know that morning. If I can wait it out I think it would be better. I don't want an early bfn to discourage me.I think positivity can go a long way!!

hello everyone. 33/f/PCOS I started using gonal f on 12/3/13, 1st IUI on 1/9/14, 2nd IUI on 1/10/14 with hcg trigger given the same day. I just wanted to know has anyone else was given the trigger shot after their IUI? I am also feeling pms like cramps that come and go is this normal? Also if I concieved this month my EDD is also 10/2/2014 which would be cool because I am libra too.

emma - when it comes to BBT they want '3 above and 6 below' the coverline to confirm O. so yeah, do it at least a couple more days to check the pattern. also doing it through the LP you can watch for if you start trending down at the end, which can be an early sign that AF is gonna show up.

genie - sorry you had to come here, but i'm hoping for lots of baby dust for us in october! BBT'ing was also stressing me out, so this cycle i figured i'll only do it only days it happens to work out, so i only took certain temps and tried to not stress other days. helped me a lot this cycle!

susy - hi, welcome! congrats on DD. hope we get lucky this month!

gds - i'm so glad you're here too :)

princesca - i think we're the same DPO likely. they always say any new symptom can be promising, but it's so hard to not drive yourself crazy! for me i always have painful/sensitive nipples the first couple days and have sore bbs the whole time.

pbc - glad the thyroid is good :) my tsh quit crashing and is now around 1.4 which is great. my fertility doc thinks when my thyroid was out of whack i wasn't even ovulating, but now i have these last couple months. i'm hoping that's also what we needed to help give us a better chance. but now she's suspicious of endometriosis so i hope that doesn't hold us back :( hope you don't need IUI!!

thomas - welcome :)

emma & clf - i'm 8DPO also and am also tempted to take a HPT, and gotta remind myself it's too early, will just be disappointed!

molissa - congrats!!!! sticky baby dust!

molldoll - FX'd for us this month!!!

while - i'm 8DPO and trying to hold out several more days before i test! you're not out yet!

basia - FX'd for you!! my last cycle was only 25 days but i expected it, since at 8DPO we did a progesterone check and it was so low. If you consistently have a short LP i would talk to your doc about a progesterone check. hope you don't need to worry though!

spartie - sorry about AF :( hope you get to change the march appt to a first baby wellness check! :)

sarah - wow congrats!!! sticky baby vibes!! so you BD'd every day, but what days were those? we were able to do every day from a few days before O to O day, and then we were exhausted and couldn't do the day after O. lol

katie - if you guys are under 30 they will likely tell you to wait 1 year before helping fertility-wise. as long as you are BD'ing in that fertile period you're good, even if everything is done right we only have a 20% chance, which makes me so sad :( don't worry, you guys will do it within 6 months!!! FX'd for this month!!

amommys - it's ok hun! we all totally have those feelings. just remember, a bunch of ladies recently got pregnant by only BD'ing once near O time and got preggers! and many women have no symptoms prior. not over until AF shows her ugly face!

hys tiff - hi! FX'd the IUI worked!!!

AFM, 8DPO. have been on progesterone suppositories for about 5 days now, my first time ever using them. i took BBT those first couple days to help confirm O. my doc said not much point in taking BBT since the progesterone will keep it up. i'm taking it randomly just cause i'm curious :) so today i took it after good sleep, and about 1 hour after normal wake up and it was 98.6, the highest i've ever seen. no idea if that means anything though, so we'll see. bbs are SOOO tender, which they normally are in my cycles, but dunno if more tender cuz of the meds. bbs are also larger looking, but they were at this point last month too. definitely more tired this cycle. i go back and forth between thinking things look great and thinking naw i'm out. *sigh* supposed to wait until i think the 28th to test per the doc cuz of the meds. my period would be due the 26th. my goal is to make it til this weekend before i test!!! FX'd for us!!!

FirstTimeMommy: We BD'd everyday from CD 10 to CD 20. Missed one day though. Then BD'd once more on CD 22. I got my first positive OPK on CD 18 and think I O'd on CD 19. With that date, I'm 10 dpo today. My OSOM pregnancy test got pretty dark though. I posted a picture in the gallery. Good luck to you!

Congrats to all the BFP's! I am currently 2DPO. I have sore nipples but that is usual for me. I had a sharp stabbing pain in my left boob yesterday. And some twinges today. I also have increased urination and saliva. I also have some increased CM. But I"m trying to relax. This is only the second month we have been trying and we BD the day of ovulation. I'm hoping for the best. But I did that last month and got disappointed. Boyfriend is having pretty bad sciatica issues and I don't want to make it any worse. Hoping for the best this month but trying to prepare myself to be okay if I don't get the BFP. I go back to work on Monday after being off for two months after carpal tunnel surgery. I'm nervous but I'm sure things will be alright. I'm more concerned with getting my boyfriend better. I have some health concerns too but not like him.

Molissa & SarahNoelle - Congrats on the 's!

Firstime - I'm using the progesterone suppositories too...the first month they made my temps go up, but not after that. I don't know why - maybe my body got used to it? Hope your wait to test goes by quickly!

amommy - Hang in there! The TWW is tough.

gds3 - I agree with you! CMP isn't as much fun as the forums I've found here. I think I'll hang around here.

Spartiechic - Hope you do have your BFP by your appointment.
