Hi ladies,

It's been awhile for me but I've been reading. Welcome mommymayer, and OurHope!

Love to read all the good news coming out of this thread, keep it coming! Sorry not to add personals but I want to pop in and say hello and let you know I'm still here ttc.

AFM: My exciting news is I finally got a +OPK. That's progress for me. Only time will tell. I think I'm 9dpo.

Good luck everyone!

mama_belle3, I remember you! Congrats on your +OPK!!

Welcome to OurHope4aBundle, you're joining us during an exciting time for this thread,

MommyMayer, thank you for your solidarity sister! My temps drops today and while dh still thinks we may have a chance this cycle, we'll see what the beta says and whether the witch shows up as I expect overnight.

It is really sweet having dh involved in the (obsessing?) observing. Anyone else's dh get involved in that?

Hopefulat40, I am definitely keeping my eyes on the prize. Dh and I are having magical times and great chemistry together. The best of our relationship. ~happy sigh~

and everyone!

Peace,
MM

OH Mauntainmama, I hope your mother gets better soon....I know how that it is when you have to concentrate taking care of your mother and put our own problems aside. Last year my mother was diagnose with Cancer and I had to take care of her and give her all of my attention....it was very hard but thanx to God she is doing well.
I really hope the best for you. Please relax and pray and everything will be OK.

Lots of hugs and baby dust

Hello ladies,

Am 7dpo ans so far my only simptoms have been lower abdomen cramps at 6dpo and today I felt sharp pains in my uterus! it was kind of scary to have a feeling like am being poked with a needle.

Am hoping and praying this will be the month for all of us.

Take good care ladies

scal33, thank you for your kind words! I am happy to hear that your mom had a return of strength and wellness. We love our moms so much!

We originally though mom had CANCER and freaked out quietly while telling her that we were strong, which we were, but my sister and I still freaked out to one another. lol

It is a blessing that she does NOT have cancer, however she is still really ill. My sister is bearing the brunt of caring for her and I try not to feel guilty and be supportive as I am able without smothering my mom.

Last month and the earlier part of this month nearly broke me in two, truth be told.

It sounds like the both of us are having those weird, sharp pains. I am 15dpo (2 days late) and have been having them since I think 7dpo. Sometimes it takes my breath away and I have to stop moving or doing anything.

Good luck!

MM

Hi ladies,

Oh my, oh my! I just got a ! I'm excited and nervous all at the same time. Hell, I'm scared. I'll be honest - I want to do all the right things. I haven't told anyone yet. I'll have to test again, of course. would be due next Wed, I'm still cautiously optimistic.

MM: How adorable that your husband is obsessing! My dh isn't but he's also been super occupied looking for a job right now.

scal33: thanks for the prayers, hopefully this month and 9 months from now will be all of our months!

Thanks for reading and thanks for all the - sending some right back each of you!

OMG!!!!!!!!! Congrats Mama belle and Mountain mama! This is unbelievable at what rate the BFPs are coming in!!! This is good, really good! Shows Oldies can get pregnant after all ;) lol

Afm... Started day 5 of stims. Not feeling anything, which I think is not the best of signs. I would expect some swellin in my legs from water retention due to rising estrogen levels, a bloated abdomen and some soreness on my ovaries if thx eggies were growing. However, nothing so far. Worries me a bit. I do not go in for u/s and bw until Monday. Well, 4.5 more days of stimming til then. Hopefully my eggs are still going to catch up.

Wow! wooohhoooooo, CONGRATULATIONS Ladies!!!! I am so happy for you.

I'm here trying not to obsess at 9dpo, (almost there), have lots of symptoms, and FF chart detected Triphasic on cd 15, so I'm thinking still to early to test. I want to sooooo bad, but afraid of seeing that BFN or getting my hopes up. Also not sure if this means anything, but my CP is extremely high last 2 days. I have some 10miu tests coming today, so will have to see what my OCD self will do, probly POAS, lol.
