Athena - I hope your pee was just too diluted for the FRER to show +. I'm still holding out hope for you. I know how frustrated you feel.

Joy - welcome & good luck getting your BFP.

Nova - welcome. A lot of us have experienced losses and know how you feel. I hope it doesn't take long to get your next bfp.

Tara - your self-control is amazing. I would have eaten a dozen or more. I got the kids chocolate for their advent calendar & ate at least 20 pieces yesterday.

hey ladies:
Been working my butt off and waiting. 5dpo today, took a few tests but not with FMU and i know still way to early. Waiting till Wed. 12/12/12, to test with FMU. Im really weird about #'s so 12 12 12 seems like a good day to test. That will be 8 days from + opk. We danced that day ( tues) and then not again till yesterday (Sat) so I dont know if I missed it or not. not really feeling anything, a few twinges here and there, but Ive had those every cycle. Trying to have a pos attitude and stay prepared for BFN. Its always so depressing though when AF comes. She is due 12/17........so trying to keep busy and not stress out. Good luck peeps!

Hi Ladies! Hugs all around. I think we all need one right now.

AFM - I'm approaching the point of meltdown.

I took a several Answer and FRERs for the last couple of days and have been plagued with disappearing or fading test lines. It seems like the lines are lasting longer though. Instead of totally disappearing, they are just fading into real squinters. I almost cried when I watched the nice dark lines (after 2 minutes) begin to fade into the abyss. I just cracked the tests open and there is no color to them.

AF is due Thursday (sorry...had to edit my post...I initially said Monday, but it is due on the 13th), so I am slowly losing hope.

Hkellerman - good luck!

Holly - don't go loco.

I am really disappointed because I don't think I am now. I can see a line on the frer but I think they are just indents. So I think I am out though I will keep testing. One thing that angers me the most is seeing people that absolutely do not deserve kids with them. Like we were watching this swat show and this lady's house got raided for drugs because she was dealing and the house was one room 200 sq ft no running water and she had a 6 yr old little girl living there. Or I go into walmart and it really irritates me when a child is excited about a toy or something and they aren't being obnoxious or anything, but the parent will get in their face and tell them to shut their mouth or curse at them when it is not necessary ever especially at a small child. Oh and when I worked at a law firm and read some of the cases my boss had it made me sick. I just don't understand why people like that get children to abuse and here my husband and I are, good people, he's a teacher and our choir director at our church oh and is the sound tech. I teach mission friends and do extended session for the younger children in our church that are too old for the nursery. We are actually going to start being the infant-3 yr old sunday school teachers next week. I just don't get it. Sorry for the long rambling post. I'm just sad

Hi ladies!!!! Sorry I have been Mia. I was trying to take it easy with the ttc and relax and just let things happen the way they will. Well I should start Wednesday. Even though I know that it's best to use fmu I couldn't help my self I'm an addict lol. It's the first POAS of any kind I've done this time. Wellllll I have a faint line!!!!! So going to POAS a stick in the AM and see what happens. If pos then I'm getting in to see the doc to get a command paperwork to go with. Omg!!!!! This would be the perfect month since all our family will be over for Auroras 2nd bday party and I have already had it planned out tht her final gift would be a "big sister" shirt not telling hubby till I know for sure in the am since we all know how much of a pain in the butt these tests can be. So fingers crossed ladies. I want to surprise hubby some how tomorrow if we are but have to figure out some way to gag him from telling the fam before the birthday party. Gl to all and baby dust!!!!!

booked hubby in for his test today earliest they can do is 29th Jan my test might have to wait till Jan too as 7days before is a Sunday but can have it on Monday but that Monday is new years eve and doctors close early .

I next ov Xmas eve but won't be as have family staying so won't have to worry in the 2ww so hoping Jan will be New year New baby

Hi Ladies! Let's keep our spirits up! It will happen in due time and we will appreciate our bundles of joy even more for it! In the meantime to keep us going, let's see some s here! Sowell...bring it home girl! .

AFM - I think is on her way . My temps weren't very high this cycle and I ever received the crosshairs to confirm O so my situation was all over the place!

To boot, I had EWCM yesterday an today, which often happens a few days before from what I read. I took a FRER and an IC this morning and I see a faint line on the FRER which is probably the stupid indent. Depending on who you ask, I'm either 9 or 13 DPO, but I would think I would see something by now. [:(]. I will know for sure this week because AF is due Thursday or Friday.

@Lammy, I think my next O is predicted on Dec 25 (CD14) give or take a couple of days, so perhaps we can be test buddies!

HAPPY MONDAY LADIES!! Chin up everyone! I know having patience is hard but sometimes what we want now, isnt what God wants for us now. He knows the perfect time and even if comes, thank God cause He's the one in control. But know this...He hasnt forgotten us. This desire in our hearts for a child, was put into us by Him . He wont let us down. It was weird, last weekend my pastor said, "I have a feeling that some here are trying to have a baby. Dont give up, God put that desire for a baby in your heart. It WILL happen!" So even if this isnt our cycle. It soon will be .

Anyways...lol...I'm on CD 8 and I finished my Clomid last night! Ya! Havent had any noticeable side effects. Had some pinching on my right side near my ovary, so I'm praying that I dont have a cyst cause that would suck since Clomid can make them worse. Since Clomid can dry up CM and I dont want to pay $15 for Preseed...I'm drinking 8oz of 100% Grapefruit Juice everyday. I've read that it can dramatically increase EWCM! So this cycle I'm using Clomid, Softcups, grapefruit juice, cinnamon, opks, and I'm temping! Never would have thought I'd be doing all of this! EVERYONE!

@athena- I know it sucks. But dont think of it as why is God blessing them and not me. Remember, He loves them just as much as you or I. And He already knows your babies (I knew you before you were in the womb). He's knows the perfect second to breathe pneuma into your baby!

@lammy-That's a long wait to have swimmers tested!

@Novalunar- Hi hun! I'm so sorry for you loss. Unfortunately I know what you're going through. I'm in my 10th month of TTC now and if I get pregnant this cycle...I have a feeling I'm going to be nervous the first trimester. Hoping you get an awesome Christmas present. I'm going to be nuts this christmas...I'll be in my first 2WW in 8 months!

@hkellerman- Hoping tuesday was enough! It only takes ONE o~!!!!

@sowell- Cant wait to get an update!
