@Beaut1ful38. How are things going for you. I hope you are getting the necessary bed rest and getting lots of rest. I also hope that the bleeding has stopped. Good luck at your appointment today and really hope it goes well and you will get good news.

@photomama. After having my daughter March 29, 2016, and when my husband and I started trying for baby #2 that I literally believed that I had estrogen dominance and when I bought the progesterone cream and used it for the first time, I got pregnant. I didn't really change anything else. Used pre-seed, baby asprin and tried Maca but other than that, that was all I did. Your time will come when you least expect it. I would of been upset if my friend started changing items in the registry without telling you. How are you feeling about this cycle? Are you close to testing?

@Beaut1ful38 - How are you feeling? Did you have anymore bleeding since put on bed rest? Good luck and positive vibes for your u/s today! Keep us posted!! Xo

@photomama - I can totally understand your jealousy... maybe envy is a better word? It's hard to watch people get what you so desperately want and have been trying for in the blink of an eye with not much effort. I feel like so many of my friends, esp on FB are sharing news of their pregnancy or posting belly pics or posting pics of their newborn babies almost every day - I'm not gonna lie, it's friggin HARD to see some days, so many days I wake up and think "I wonder how big my bump would be right now" or "I wonder what kind of symptoms I'd be feeling" or "I wonder what it would feel like to feel the baby kicking right now" or "I wonder what it would be like to HEAR the baby's heartbeat" - some days it's like a knife in my heart and I feel empty and devastated and some days I'm okay and some days it's like I almost forget... I think it's all part of the process, but thankfully we have this group and all the amazing women in here to help us along the way on our journeys! Praying for you that this is your month! Hang in there!!

@ Beaut1ful - Still thinking and worrying about you. I hope your levels have gone up and the ultrasound shows some positive growth. We are all here for you and if you are going though a tough time we understand that you might need sometime to process and be away from the site for a little while. I'm still crossing my fingers and desperately hoping for good news. I can honestly say you are one of my closest friends on here and I'm wishing you all the best. XOXO.

@photomama - I know how you feel. I thought ttc would be a blink for me and my DH too and I know we are only on the 6th cycle but it's still hard to see people I know posting announcements for summer babies and wishing I was going to have one too. I've changed my attitude on the time of year we have a baby and now know that it doesn't matter. A birthday is a birthday and when it falls is special and significant no matter what time of the year or season it falls in. My twins sister just came off of the Nexplanon and I have a very strong feeling that she will be pregnant with her second while DH and I keep struggling for our first. I can't explain why I feel like that's going to happen.

I'm nervous that I ovulated yesterday and we missed the egg... I got my peak on my CBD this morning so that suggests today or tomorrow. But I had a slight temperature rise this morning so maybe I missed my true peak yesterday evening? I'm nervous because the last time we BD this week was early Tuesday morning and we missed yesterday. We did BD before work this morning as I made that my mission after seeing that peak smiley and woke DH up to do it (which he really likes and turns him on...). I'll continue as if today is O day and BD tonight and tomorrow too. I was hoping it would be tomorrow but all signs are pointing to today. I think I possibly had lower right ovulation pain this morning right above my hip (actually still feeling that which is new for me). I'm hoping my efforts this morning were enough as I fear sperm does not stick around in me as long as it does other women and I can't imagine that there were any left hanging around form Tuesday morning.

@FlamingoGirl13 - that sounds like great timing that you BDd today - especially since you had possible O pain today too!! I hope you caught the egg!!! Positive thoughts girlfriend! I will keep my fingers crossed for you!

AFM - I believe I'm 7dpo so just trying to be patient (haha, ya right, me being patient doesn't happen!). The TWW feels soooooo long lol. I'm going to take another test at work because I swear I saw a faint line 2 days ago and yesterday afternoon... #peeonallthesticks haha. I should own stock in Wondfo and FRER! Just sayin!!

Anyone else testing or waiting to test very soon? Where are my POAS addict friends up in here?

I posted the test I took yesterday afternoon - the line is SUPER light and it came up about 10 min after I took test so idk if it's evap or start of BFP or if others will even see it even if you use tools... I feel as though my second or third pee is always better for testing... I'm curious how others feel on that. How about you? Do you feel your FMU is the best to test with?

Do you think it's good to eat/drink certain things before taking test in afternoon? LOL.... I'm getting cray cray now ;)

I have a really good feeling for you! You seem like such a positive person who spreads that around like confetti and it's going to come back to you too! I just know it!

@FlamingoGirl13. Wow, I lost my post that I was writing to you and thought I posted it and now I can't remember what I said lol. Try not to worry as I thought the same thing when we were trying and thought I missed the egg. I know your hubby doesn't really like using it as it takes the fun out but did you use Pre-seed when you got your peak? I only used it when I got the "Yes" on my ovulation test and managed to BD the next day. I really hope that this is your month. Are you going to continue to temp after you know for sure you ovulated?
ETA- found the post I wrote, lol. It was in another forum. What pregnancy brain I am having and now I feel embarrased.

@BB2018. I like first morning urine for testing. Eating should be okay, but I would drink water but not too much as that may dilute the uring and then hold the pee for 4 hours before testing again. I looked at your test and I have a hard time reading those as I don't know where the line should be so don't really know where to look. Sounds weird, I know.

@Dragonfly23 - I saw that post in the November group and responded to most of it! We did not use preseed this morning as we were super pressed for time and couldn't take the extra time to insert it and wait for 10 minutes. I will use it tonight though! He'll be ok with it if I tell him I'm ovulating and we need the extra help. My EWCM has been much more plentiful while taking the EPO this cycle so I'm thinking that's a good backup. I will keep temping for at least 3-5 days after Saturday because my temperature is sometimes slow to rise. Then I will probably give myself a break for a week and half so it's something I don't have to worry about it. during the tww.

@FlamingoGirl13. That sounds like a good plan on temping. It will take the stress out of things and plus you get to sleep in a little bit, if you have the alarm set. I'm really sure that you will be okay and that you didn't miss the egg and with taking EPO, I am sure there will be plentiful amount of cm inside trapping those little guys.

ATTENTION - anyone who uses Wondfo pregnancy test dip strips...

I've been using Wondfo Pregnancy Tests LOT# W00170116-3 and they have been coming up faint positives since 2 days ago. I just did a Google search of the lot# and found a couple other people who with the same batch with similar results. ???? Expiration date on these is 01/10/2019. Every single one I've done since Wednesday has a faint pink line within minutes. So disheartening. Anyone else have this batch? Are you getting faint lines? I also found that this is an APPROVED list of Wondfo shippers from Amazon and you should NOT order through anyone who is NOT on this list!

Good afternoon and happy Friday!
@Dragonfly hmm Maca? What does it do, do you know? Maybe I’ll try it, my husband puts it in his smoothies. I’m doing EPO and progesterone this month unlike other months. Waiting to ovulate so not anywhere close to testing. Low fertility today on clearblue advanced. Wouldn’t hurt to try baby asa either. Yes my time will come soon, thank you so much for your words of encouragement! How are you feeling? Queasy? Tired?

@Bb2018 yes I know what you mean! So many fb pregnancies haha :) omg I cant believe the faulty wondfos! That is infuriating! I don’t have that lot number though

@flamingogirl thanks Love, I’ve changed my attitude as well about the season the baby will be due in. Your twin sister and you could be pregnant together, you never know! :) I agree with Bb, it sounds like great timing! I would t worry too much about it and it sounds like you covered your bases this am as well. They say an egg will live 24 hours after it’s popped out, so it sounds like this am was perfect!

@kelleria and Kimberley how are you ladies doing?
