Hello all! We are really hoping and praying for a December baby! I had a MC in January at almost 12 weeks. This is our first cycle trying after giving my body time to heal. Promising symptoms so far!! I'm 6 dpo. Good luck to everyone

Maripari - I'm so sorry for your loss. If I were you, I would wait a couple weeks to tell your family until you've seen the doctor and feel more confident about the pregnancy. I don't think they would think you were trying to make things all about you; I'm sure they would be overjoyed. But it might help everyone cope with the loss of your grandmother if they have a couple weeks to process that news. ((hugs)) Have you been to the doctor for betas?

Good luck jenmomof3 :)

Maripari so sorry for your loss...and huge congrats on your +++
I can't even imagine how emotional a time this must be for you. Big hugs x

Afm...(possible tmi warning!) bfn yesterday morning, started a little brown spotting yesterday afternoon, only when I wiped. Thought for sure af would be here this morning...but the witch is playing with me, no spotting so far today. I guess she'll arrive with a bang tonight or tomorrow...just wish she would get on with it!

How's everybody else doing?

Massive congrats to all the bfp's...seems like this has been a very lucky month for quite a few of ye :)

Congrats to DBirdie, 12princess, crumcake. I feel like I missed someone so congrats to all the BFP's

Ladyvein - I want you to know that you aren't alone. DH and I have been TTC since May 2012 and it has put a considerable strain on our marriage. I reached the point where I didn't care about having a baby anymore because I just wanted my marriage back. It has been a roller coaster of emotions. We're all here fir each other. If it wasn't for this forum I don't know where I would have gotten support.

AFM - I'm 12dpo today. I haven't tested and I'm not planning to unless AF is late. Symptoms are really heavy boobs with occasional throbbing pains. It is nothing unusual before AF. AF is due on Wednesday.

Hi ladies!

Congrats to all the recent BFPs! Sending your way!

pagers - I wouldn't count you out just yet. Healthy sperm can live for a couple days in a fertile environment so you might still be able to catch the egg from BDing in the AM on Saturday.

mrsrabren - LP usually doesn't change so I'd like to say that your cycle would be shorter. My cycles are usually 28 days and once in a while I'll get a 27 day or even a 32 day cycle so as long as you pinpointed your O you should be fine. I think it's more important that your LP is long enough to produce enough progesterone.

maripari - condolences to you and your family. I'm sure they will be thrilled when you decide to tell them.

AFM, CD 11 waiting to O. Should be this Friday but my OPKs are getting darker already so might be a little earlier. We BD'd on Saturday as kind of a trial run after our CP.. mostly for my sake as I wasn't sure how I'd feel.. and we are more confident now in trying for our rainbow baby this cycle. Started talking about our CP more to some friends and it definitely feels good to have the support (in addition to all of your support of course!)

and to all!

Firsttimemommy30- No because AF arrived on Saturday. Boo. Went to the doctor this morning to do the lab work and pick up my new rx for femera and ovidrel trigger shot. Start taking femera the next 5 days and I'll go back on CD11 for an ultrasound and blood work. If it doesn't work naturally this month we start doing IUI next month. Good luck on your follies this cycle! I hope you have some nice ones.

ladyvein- I know that feeling. I went through that with my DH when we first started trying. He was really nervous until he finally got his test results back and then he was able to breathe. I didn't really help I was an emotional mess the first 9 months we were trying because everyone we knew was making pregnancy announcements. Then my DH's mother got diagnosed with terminal cancer so we put our focus on his mom until she passed away on Jan. 7th 2014. He's still having a hard time with his mom's passing, we have definitely worked through a lot the past 22 months. It's just made us stronger. Once we got his results though it was a more breathable processes. Has your DH gotten tested yet?

Congrats to all the for December Babies!

No he hasn't yet. He wants to wait until I graduate to test because he is worried about the outcome. I graduate next month (I'm 31) and here we sit 15 dpo 2 days late and no signs of the witch with a BFN yesterday....

I love the support from you ladies. I feel a bit better knowing there are others that understand, at the same time I wish you the best and hope the understanding won't be for long with Bfps for everyone!

Hello everyone, congrats to all the BFPs out there! I have been lurking on this page since it started, it is so nice to see all the wonderful support given back and forth on here! I feel out of place as I read all the struggles and losses, my heart goes out to each of you. My first DS was a surprise, 9 years later my second was a struggle as I battled extremely painful endometriosis and many, many doctor visits in hopes to find answers to curing it. I was told the only "cure" is pregnancy, where it "burns" out...well I had it so bad it was so painful to walk muchless bd...I had a procedure done where they force a dye through to see if the tubes are clear, that test proved promising, it was just getting through the invisible pain. Thank god I have such a supportive husband. Long story short we conceived just short of a year later, just short of the next step looking at fertility treatment options. We are so blessed. I can't imagine being As strong as everyone else on here. My pregnancy ended up being high risk with extremely high blood pressure problems and two rounds of preterm labor but baby boy was delivered 3 weeks early as scheduled and is the happiest little munchkin ever. So here I am today, we just started trying again, for number 3. I am nervous as can be that it will be another long haul, but surprisingly I have had very little endometriosis pain. We are only on month two, and I am going stir crazy only on day 17 of my cycle. It could be that I'm stuck at home waiting out the blizzard of the year, or possibly a "sign" but this mama is tired and edgy today! So, that's my story! Thanks to everyone who posts on here, you are my way to pass the time! You all give me hope! Baby dust to all!

Welcome to the group Runner!

I'm only 8dpo, however, I feel extremely out this month for some reason....Maybe because I wanted a Dec baby so bad and it just doesn't seem like its going to happen for me..... Nothing out of the ordinary this tww besides af style cramps for the last few days.... no other syptoms! :-( I think I'm going to be done with charting and opk's after this month . Just need a break, and will worry about working out and exercising to get healthy... I guess baby will come when its the right time, cause I've done everything humanly possible to get pregnant this past 8 months!
