I think I might test tomorrow if dh doesn't talk me out of it. I bought the First Response 6 days sooner and tomorrow is supposed to be 6 days til AF. Crossing my fingers and imagining baby dust.

jcbell, good luck if you test.. if you think hat might've been implantation spotting (which very well could be!) I'd give it a couple days to lessen the chances of false negatives. Even though it says 6 days sooner I've never got a positive that early! Fingers crossed either way!!

Sorry about all the mix up with the bloodwork Tara, hopefully they can learn what they're doing!

AF is over... All the BD begins for a couple weeks! Wish me luck!

Hoping that was implantation bleeding...

Those of you with fertility tests and dr appts coming up:.. Best of luck!

How are we all feeling. Positive? Down?

Hi ladies,

I haven't been in in a while, wanted to check in with you. I have now officially reached the halfway mark of my pregnancy! I'm 20 weeks, 1 day. My doctor's appointment is in 2 days! I'm so excited. The baby is starting to actually kick and we're able to feel it now on the outside. It's incredible. The baby is really active too.

Tara- this doc sounds so awesome, I hope everything is going well or will be. Sorry about your bloodwork. People are so dumb.

Thinking about you Jcbell!

@missdani- I'm actually feeling pretty positive . Granted i'm out the next couple cycles but I'm looking forward to getting the diagnostics done and I feel very comfortable in my drs hands now.

@enbutler- Cant wait to hear the gender news!

Well after 12 big friggin vials of blood, getting a little lightheaded and a massive painful bruise on my arm where the needle went...I'm happy the bloodwork is finally done! lol. The tech today was able to figure out the computer codes for the tests but again...this girl also wouldnt talk to me. The most she acknowledged me was when I started bleeding out around the needle and all over the chair . I think they need a sign that reminds them to smile. Truthfully...much more calming getting a needle from a smiling, calming person that someone who looks like they are plotting your death .

Check out that beauty!!...
Looks more like I got bit by a poisonous spider than a blood drawal.

Tara- I definitely agree. Glad you were able to get it over and done with. That is a crap load of blood!. Sorry about the after effects!

So ladies.....It's a girl!

Oh my goodness Tara! Looks like she still didn't know what she was doing!! Glad the bloodworks done and that you're on your way to getting a few steps closer =)

That's so exciting to be halfway already! Can't wait to find out if your sweet baby is a boy or girl! What do you feel it is? With my son I just knew he was going to be a boy.. and I was right! I was always drawn to the boy clothes and couldn't think of any girl names that I liked!

Getting back close to o time for me. Haven't been temping or charting, been trying to be less stressed. Probably end up more stressed by not being able to tell what's going on! I think I've been hindering the whole process by being scared to death that something will go wrong. Been trying to think positive, it's just hard sometimes..

That's amazing @enbutler!! Looks like I submitted my last post a few minutes late lol =)
A beautiful babygirl.. so excited for you!!!!!!!!!!!

Jess- it happens lol. I thought it would be a boy, but then I found myself drawn to girl's clothes and stuff so makes sense. Lol. Thank you. I'm really excited. The doctor said I'm right on track and where I need to be abd they're fine with me not gaining mich weight at all because she's very healthy and looking great! My next appointment is on June 24th for another sono.

Stay positive! Everything will be just fine
