Tara - Yes, the surgery will be a complete prostatectomy... Life has definitely become an , " Ok... What else???"

I'm sorry you guys are feeling so yucky! I know there's TONS of that crud going around...

So this morning I figured I'd poas again, just in case, since AF still hadn't arrived... Another BFN :-( I lay in bed with my fiancé and cried...
A couple hours later, I went to the bathroom, whiped, and there it was... Red.
It was just a little, which is normal for me, and usually the precursor to heavy bleeding and mind-numbing pain... So I was preemptive, and took something for the pain... But 2hrs later... I went to the bathroom again, and no blood. None. Zero. Zip! And there hasn't been any since... Dare I hope to believe that it was implantation bleeding?? I actually was expecting AF today... 12DPO seems awfully late for implantation. But maybe I OV'd later than I thought? I guess time will tell... I'm not going to poas tomorrow. I'm just going to wait and see...

@MrsCarper1117 - 12DPO is less common for implantation, but not impossible. Fxd for you.

@Tara - I can imagine how you must feel at the thought of your sister having another baby before you have your first - especially when you want one so bad and she does not want a second. I'm so sorry you are having this on your mind - all while your kitty is going through a tough time. On a brighter note...yay for big juicy follies! Those twins might be in the works soon. :)

@Athena - hope your temp continues to rise!

AFM - 11 DPO this morning and BFN. I am still hoping it is early, but really don't think so. I think I'm out this cycle because no so boobs or anything. I have been having an achy feeling in my ovarian region for the last several days, but I read somewhere that is not a good sign. No matter what, I will know for sure in a few days, so that is a relief!

Tara-I would want to strangle my sister .lol!! My dads evil wife who is ten years older than me and has been uber jealous and creepy since day one (my dad got her pregnant ) so they got married ..he wasn't even divorced yet and was barely around when I was a baby 15 years before that .Long story short I got kicked out at 14 years old .2 months after new baby was born .I announced my pregnancy and 8 weeks later his wife does too .my dad is 44 .Swore it was a freak accident and she is already making drama about my baby being more important and is mad because MY family is throwing me a shower and not her .and that everyone's always talking about me and asking what I need .. ...it's the first great grandchild !!! And it's my dads 5th kid there third together .im so mad about her getting pregnant .Not to mention what a b she was to me after my d&c.i understand the family baby frustrations .but that must be super hard .Hope this is it for you .Fingers crossed !!!

I'm supposed to be working, but am stealing a quick minute to give an update. I'm 12DPO today and I took a FRER. It looked BFN, but I thought I saw a shadow of a line, so I took a 10miu midstream test and it has a light line, but it is clearly there. Came up within 3 minutes and got darker by the 10 minute mark. I hope this is the start of something! I can't wait to test tonight or tomorrow.

I feel worse than I did yesterday :( the netipot tea and fisherman friends are my saving grace right now. This may be a strange coincidence, but I swear I ovulated at dinner on Saturday because I could feel it then about 30 minutes later I started getting stopped up. I told dh, you watch I'm going to be pregnant this cycle and this stupid cold is the first sign lol. My temp went up today, I'm sure it's ovulation related and not sickness related because I never run a fever.

I hope it's a BFP for u Holly!

Oh and to you too Athena.

No pics holly!?

Athena- i wish I cold get rid of this cough. I want a flu shot.

Nicki- how old are you? Your last post has me scratching my head. Lol. Glad I'm not the only one contemplating strangulation. Lol...kidding!

Afm- my sister took a frer yesterday and today and both are negative. Yea! Lol...ugh I'm horrible. She thru a fit yesterday yelling she didnt want to be pregnant. Nice! She's been cramping for a week and now her back is really hurting. I'm wondering about endometriosis. She's gonna call the dr tomorrow if she doesnt start.
Had a big temp drop this morning so I think today may be it for OV. My tests were almost + yesterday so as soon as I get home, I'll poas. My cervix has been very happy since yesterday so I know it's close...oooo wait, I need to grab a pineapple today! Add that to the list.

Ok... I have to ask... What's the pineapple for??

AF arrived today in full force... :'-( My dr is doubling my Clomid for this month, and I'm going to BBT track as well in addition to my opks.

Has anyone used Softcups for TTC? I was just reading about it and it sounds logical, but not sure if it's a good idea. Thoughts?

The core of the pineapple has a special protein that aids in implantation. You peel the pineapple and slice in 5 pieces (like hamburger patties). You eat a piece a day from 1dpo-5dpo. I've had pretty good success the cycles I've done it but not sure if that's what helped. But it cant hurt. Besides it's good for you. I've also been using preseed with softcups. I love them. I dont have to worry about laughing and having the swimmers fly out of my vajaja...dh is also making me laugh after sex. Speaking of which...I need to take mine out from last night. Some think that it gives bad sperm a chance to fertilize the egg and cause m/c but there are just as many success stories.
