Mmcalli and wishing for violet, clarabelle , contemplating again ladies. Because of you , I have hope that one day , i will be carrying a baby too.
To all my other ladies I wish you all as well

Margie_M: my first beta at 13dpo was 130, and my second one at 15dpo was 303. I want to get more betas done to make sure the numbers are increasing, but my RE said it wasn't necessary. I guess I just have to sit tight until the 28th! good luck with testing this weekend!!

calvingirl, no worries! all those "Cs" can be confusing, hehe.

Lalou, crossing my fingers for you!! I'm hoping to see a BFP from you very soon!

Clarabelle - Those numbers are pretty awesome though. I'm sure the wait for the next apointment is going to be worse than the TWW.

Margie_M: you're right, instead of the two week wait it's the three week wait!!

MMcalli: YESSS Hooray!!! I'm so happy to have all of you to talk to. It's just nice being surrounded by so much positivity and to be around people who are on the same page.

Margie_M and Staurday03: Temp Spike for both YAY! Sounds so promising

Mommy2016: I was testing often before I started temping. I think temping helped me refrain from testing too early. If I start thinking too much I get scared and overwhelmed. I start thinking about everything like work, finances, whether I'll be a good mother, what school I'm going to send them to, whether my children will give me the same grief I put my own parents through and then I just have to stop myself. My plan is just to take each day at a time and just enjoy motherhood and all the ups and downs that comes with it.

MrsRabren: I have a friend that says pregnancy is contagious, lets hope so haha!

Clarabelle: I started reading up about tests and scans and I guess I didn't realise how far away all the stuff is and I also thought the tww was bad enough

Contemplating: Thanks so much for the advice. I think I'm going to hold off a little longer before I mention this to my employers. If I start getting morning sickness I may just tell my immediate supervisor just to make applying for leave a little easier. We're a very small team of 8, and things around here have been quite tense so I don't want to add to the stress that everyone is having.

MMcalli, Clarabelle, WishingForViolet, Contemplating, CONGRATULATIONS!! 4 BFPs so far is wonderful!

Who else is testing soon?

TryingForAnother, LunaRed, MrsRabren, I'm so sorry the witch showed her ugly face. Good luck with your next cycles... Hopefully some of this awesome baby dust follows you all to the next board!

AFM, I finally got my temp spike on 10/6 so I hopefully O'd on the 5th putting me in the TWW. I haven't gotten my detection on the chart analysis yet... Any comments on my chart? I started using Fertility Friend this cycle too, I am getting used to it but it seems helpful and has some good info. I am having some mild cramps and my nipples are super sensitive right now which is unusual for me.

Kmk- you may need to adjust your settings. I tried to go look at your chart but it wasn't there. I think it's an option on the set up page (you can click which charts....bbt, symptoms, etc.....you want displayed)

Fixed it! :-)

MMcalli- I googled Pregnitude, will try if necessary.... maybe I will also break down and try BBT charting next cycle too. I've been hesitant as I am NOT a morning person and would likely forget.

calvingirl- Thanks for sharing your story with me. I'm pretty nosy by nature and love hearing about different interventions. My OB and I have discussed trying aspirin this pregnancy, if and when it should happen approx around week 10. I have a history of 2 preeclamptic pregnancies, there's some studies that suggest low dose aspirin may prevent it from happening again . Modern medicine is amazing.

Clarabelle- sounds like a perfect start!

Daily update- I am pretty sure I am going crazy. I tested this morning of course, 11 dpo, bfn. So, I decided to be that crazy patient and call my OB this morning seeking advice in the case AF shows up since lab work is CD sensitive. I speak with her nurse, who pretty much confirmed I was crazy and tried to tell me that because my IUD has only been out 10 months it may take a while for cycles and ovulation to return to normal. (WHAT?!? um, no). I was checking in, wondering if we could do some lab work, etc. The nurse told me the doc wasn't in today, but she would run it by her tomorrow and see if she wants me to come in or if she would agree to lab work. I guess there's more to the situation than that, but you get the basic point. Why did I call them this morning?!? That was silly.
Symptoms today, sore bbs, feeling down. Cramping gone. No nausea. In fact as I am typing this I am debating deleting it as I know how crazy I sound. I crack myself up because in the work I do, I advise patients of the exact opposite of the way I behave, i.e. waiting for missed period before testing, trying for a full year under age 35 before seeing specialists, etc. Rant over, thanks ladies. Other people don't get it. I have had about all I can stand with "quit trying so hard" or "it will happen when it is supposed to happen" and the best "you already have 2 children". I've never been very good at having patience.
