Keep it coming ladies!

[mydream]

Just wanted to wish ALL of you a ton of luck and BFP's!!!!!!!!

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Cd 11 for me. Come on smiley face!!! Hope to be joining you soon.

[NCBeachyGrl]

5DPO for me! I hate this wait! It is driving me crazy to not test yet!

[auroara78]

Love the new thread starter...lol all those No AF signs are awesome!!

Good luck ladies!! Rooting you on, as big as a whale!

[Winngrin]

CD12 over here, waiting for +opk......I have to say, I dont know how some of the ladies here who have been trying for months and months keep from going insane! This will be our first attempt and it has totally consumed me. Im trying to stay mellow, but really, who are we kidding??? This is HARD!!!!

Wishing lots of luck and stress-free vibes to all!

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

I agree with the sanity issue. This is my 1st attempt also. Trying to stay calm too. I hope August explodes with bfp's. July was the calm before the storm.

[suregena]

5DPO for me! I hate this wait! It is driving me crazy to not test yet!

This cycle couldn't be more different from the last! I'm calm and not even thinking about it. I guess between my son going into the hospital for observation last week and us leaving (and getting ready for that!) for our vacation on Wednesday morning, I've had other things preoccupying me.

I am very curious to see if I managed it... but my symptoms aren't as "loud" as last time... but maybe that's a good thing!

I'll probably start testing tomorrow... why not?! I'll be 10dpo.

I just mopped the floor (well, we don't have a mop, so more like on my knees with a rag!) today and I felt like I kept getting a stitch in my stomach and had to pause and think, "Is that a sign? Or is it just because I'm mopping the floor in possibly the most uneasy way?" heeheeh.

[NCBeachyGrl]

LOL Suregena! I really hope you get a BFP and I want to see pics of your tests LOL!!!!

[suregena]

Of course, I'll keep you all posted!

I've got seabands on the ready for my trip... *just in case* :P

[myGirl]

I'm on CD 7, hope to be here in 5 days :)

Good luck to everyone... Can't wait for the BFPs to roll in!

[NCBeachyGrl]

BTW....your chart looks good! If that even means anything anymore...I have really given up on looking at charts b/c one day mine will look great and the next it will plummet and AF will show!

[suregena]

I knooow what you mean, for sure!

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

I'm right there with you NC. Love seeing + sticks!!!!

[Winngrin]

What is a POAS addict????

[NCBeachyGrl]

What is a POAS addict????

ME!!! LOL! I just love using pregnancy tests and OPKs. Basically, I am addicted to seeing the 2nd line so I want to test at CD5...when I know there is no chance of a BFP.

[NCBeachyGrl]

OMG...this is awesome!

POAS Addict? Take this quiz to find out - JustMommies Message Boards (http://www.justmommies.com/forums/f1831-new-2009-playroom/2438379-poas-addict-take-quiz-to-find-out.html)

I scored an 8 out of 10....LOL!

[mummypink]

lol! Good luck everyone! =D x

[suregena]

I only have TWO tests from the last cycle... but I'm going to pick up a couple cheapie ones tomorrow before work to take before the other ones... just because I don't want to waste the other ones (1 superdrug and 1 clearblue digital.)

I'll start testing tomorrow I think but don't expect to see anything.

[NCBeachyGrl]

I am sooooooo bad! I have 3 internet cheapies, 2 dollar store tests, a FRER, and 3 clearblue digital tests!

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Cd 12. Still a high on my monitor. Cramping and aggravated. I just want to see this :happy: on my opk and then get some of these :pinksperm:. Is that too much to ask...hahaha!!!

[NCBeachyGrl]

I have absolutely no symptoms at all this cycle! I hope this is a good sign. Last cycle I had everything under the sun from constant cramping, back pain, nausea, etc. The only thing I have noticed this time is a few sharp pains on left side last night and this morning and I have had some small amounts of CM (which has been nonexistent for over a month). Fingers crossed!!!!

Suregena - did you test today?

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

NC before you O'ed did you have any cm? I had one glob of ewcm on Sunday afternoon. I was assuming o was on it's way. I've had almost nothing since. If I do have any, it's thick and cloudy.

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

You answered my question in your post.

[NCBeachyGrl]

LOL! I have not had any CM in FOREVER! The only thing that I would ever have come out would be RePhresh....which does look like EW CM. Sorry for TMI!!

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Never tmi when it comes to this stuff. I'm not using Rephresh. So should I assume the diet is working somewhat, or maybe O is a while off and ewcm is on it's way. I need a crystal ball!!

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

When can I start obsessing over your tests? I always start on day 8.

[suregena]

Having some lower backache today with very mild cramping?

[suregena]

Will test tomorrow a.m..... I forgot to this morning! Hahah!

[NCBeachyGrl]

When can I start obsessing over your tests? I always start on day 8.

LOL! I have to admit that I already tested today. I have all these cheapies so I guess I will continue tomorrow with a cheapie...even though I KNOW it will be BFN this early! As soon as I *think* I see something, I will share!

[NCBeachyGrl]

Will test tomorrow a.m..... I forgot to this morning! Hahah!

:omg: how could you forget? Man....I need a distraction like taking an amazing trip to Berlin to take my mind off of this wait!

[auroara78]

LOL no kidding! Surgena is lucky this cycle, she's got her awesome European adventure to plan and get ready for--it's awesome to have something exciting to prepare to take your mind off it!

When I was waiting to test, I O'ed on Christmas Day, and you know how boring it is right after Christmas right? hahaha, I had like nothing to do, the weather outside sucked, and I just had all the time in the world to think too much, and analyze every little twinge!

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

NC I'm a little concerned about the lack of cm. If I take zyrtec it seems like the swimmers wouldn't have a chance in hell. Kind of like swimming in the desert. Did you take it with no cm?

[NCBeachyGrl]

NC I'm a little concerned about the lack of cm. If I take zyrtec it seems like the swimmers wouldn't have a chance in hell. Kind of like swimming in the desert. Did you take it with no cm?

Yep! I still took it but my last RePhresh and last Zyrtec was on CD10 and I O'd late CD12/early CD13 so I feel like I stopped far enough in advance.

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Ok. Since I have no idea when I will O I'm not sure what to do about the timing thing. I was thinking about taking it every other night until my +. I've never taken anything like this though...such a wimp. Took me a while to get the nerve up to take Vitex...lol.

[Winngrin]

On CD13 here and starting to get a fade in on OPK but not quite yet. About Represh, if you are using it every 3 days and it is time to use it again, should I then still use it 12 hrs before attempt? I am due to use it today (CD13) but what if I get a + opk tomorrow....use it again tomorrow 12 hrs before attempt, or not? I just want to get this attempt over with and a BFP, at least then whats done is done and I can stop obsessing....well, kinda :nails:

[Winngrin]

What a difference a couple hours can make....+opk!!! Going to have our attempt tonight when hubby gets home from work. Go figure on the timing....I have 2 older boys from my first marriage (and we have an 8 month old together), the older boys were at their fathers for the weekend and we had a babysitter for the baby Sunday night. DH is picking the older boys up today after work, so OF COURSE my opk would be + now!!! Ah well, who has time for romance when I have all this science to focus on???:pinksperm: Go girls, GO!!!

[fish2012]

winngrin - good luck all crossed for you x

[suregena]

:omg: how could you forget? Man....I need a distraction like taking an amazing trip to Berlin to take my mind off of this wait!

I was in a rush this morning - haha!

[*ruby*]

Another faint line for me. Just hoping it stays that way now, don't want to get too excited yet. 12DPO today.

[NCBeachyGrl]

You have to share your pic!!!

[*ruby*]

Trying to work out how to do it, I have a pic on my Phone

[suregena]

I tooK a test this morning...

... but I forgot to look at it because the taxi to the airport was here! Ahahah! It's still just sitting on my bathroom counter... doh! I brought more with me, but yeesh!

[suregena]

Also, think my thermometer has a low wonky battery as my temps seem off, so I've not even entered it.

[*ruby*]

38293829

[*ruby*]

Oops posted it twice. Photos are 9DPO, 10DPO, & 11DPO. I ran out of good tests for today so tried using a cheap internet test but no line.

Suregena - I can't believe you forgot to check the test!

[Wishing4Pink]

Congratulations Ruby, that is def a BFP!!!!!!!

[Wishing4Pink]

Suregena, i can't believe you forgot to look lol. I really hope you get a bfp while your away x

[*ruby*]

Thanks, we're pretty shocked it happened first time with all the swaying!!!

[Butterfly Spirit]

[Butterfly Spirit]

Solidified honey, that is your BFP!

:running: Oh what a feeling!

[*ruby*]

Thanks sooo much for the congrats, it's all starting to sink in now! We're very happy and excited, can't wait to tell the world but we'll keep it quiet for a while. Lucky I can talk about it in here :wink: I just can't believe it's actually happening after wanting but waiting to try for a 3rd bubba so long.

[NCBeachyGrl]

LOL Suregena!!!! You are killing me girl!!!!!

Ruby - congrats on your BFP!!! And thanks for showing pics!

[ynwa]

Hi ladies not sure where I should be right now,I am 10dpo and I done a frer and a ic this morning and I am sure I can see very faint lines on both,Dh can't see I thing and thinks I am nuts:.)

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Do you have sticks to share?

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

My fingers are crossed for you ynwa!!!!!

[NCBeachyGrl]

Three Men - we are like feigns over here.....Show me your sticks or else!

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

You read my mind. I just posted that you and I need stick stalkers anonymous!!!

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

A bfp post without a pic is like dangling a piece of meat in front of a tiger. Or at least it feels like that. HAHAHA

[ynwa]

You 2 are funny:.)can I post pic off iPhone???

[auroara78]

LOL ya'll crack me up--I come to this thread for the comedy :) and of course to see all the great BFPs!

We def. need to see pix ynwa! I'm sure you can, but I don't have an iPhone so I don't know how? On my smartphone, and maybe this is a very long way to do it, I take a pix on the phone, then click 'share' and email it to myself as a small attachment, then i go into my email and download the file, and then upload it to here....that is prob. way too many steps!

Grats Ruby on BFP!!!!!!!!

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

My husband does the same thing on his iphone. I just sent him a text asking him how to do it.

[Winngrin]

YAY!!! Congratulations on the BFP!!! Hoping to add to it myself soon! :fingers:

[Shellbelle]

Congrats, Ruby! Wishing you a H&H 9 months!

[Shellbelle]

[ynwa]

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Can you guys look at some pics I put up of my friends scan today. Not sure if there are any gender clues or if you know what to look for...I sure don't. Thanks ladies. Mrs. P it's fun to take tests 2 days after you dtd...lol!!!

[Mrs_P]

Showed DH his initial response was yeah theres a pink line - doh and bless him

Upon second glance we both agree on our screen looks there maybe a faint shadow of a second line does it look like that in person, i can't usually see really faint lines. Fingers crossed it could be hun x

Ynwa's were first i've been able to see on my screen

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

NC is this new?

[NCBeachyGrl]

No! Same one!!

[NCBeachyGrl]

Honestly, I can't see it in the picture or in person! Sometimes I think I might see something, but then I have the philosophy that if I can't see it from far away, it doesn't exist. I am horrible at looking at tests too!!

[HopeandDreamG]

Good luck everyone here :)

[ynwa]

here you go ladies ;.)

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

WOOHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Congrats ynwa!!! Love all the pink lines. So happy for you!!!!! Ok ladies let's keep the bfp train going!!!! I'm looking for NC now!!!!

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

My opk sticks look like they're getting darker too. Maybe in the next 2 days or so.

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Ynwa great job posting pics.

[*ruby*]

Congratulations ynwa!!!!!

NCBeachyGrl - Still early days for you, plenty of time for that 2nd line to appear :fx:


Thanks all for the congrats

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Ruby I didn't get for formally congratulate you so...CONGRATULATIONS RUBY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great news. Hope your pink littly lady is getting nice and cozy in there.

[*ruby*]

Ruby I didn't get for formally congratulate you so...CONGRATULATIONS RUBY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great news. Hope your pink littly lady is getting nice and cozy in there.

Awww thanks!! Today I ate breakfast for the first time in ages, it is so good to be eating normally again :)

[NCBeachyGrl]

BFN from me today with FRER! Trying not to lose hope...8 DPO today.

[*ruby*]

8DPO is still very early, don't loose hope yet.

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Never got a + before 8 dpo. And it was usually later in the day, towards the evening on day 8. Usually get them at 9 or 10dpo. You're still 100% in the game. I don't think I like the ic tests. Can we put a complaint in??? hahahaha

[NCBeachyGrl]

OK...being the POAS addict I am, I just tried an IC...do you see anything?

3863

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wtf is going on with these test. I'm not going crazy. I see something.

[NCBeachyGrl]

LOL!!!! Maybe I just need to NOT test until 12 DPO...but, that would be too hard!

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

It will be hard for me too. Don't do that to us...hahahahaha!!!!

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

I should start selling pregnancy tests on the corner. I'd be a good stick pusher. I'd have the whole neighborhood peeing on them.

[NCBeachyGrl]

I kind of feel good about the IC...I can see the line in person and from far away...although it is REALLY light!

[NCBeachyGrl]

LOL...OK...now I'm getting desperate! I played with the pic a little and I can see it better...

3865

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

I can def see it.

[ynwa]

Thanks girls,
Nc I can see it I can see it:.)
Ruby congrats to you 2,we are due date,scan buddies:.)
August is going to be a good good month:.)
Keep em coming girls.

[Winngrin]

I can see it Beachy!!!! So happy for all of you with the BFP!!! Im pretty sure I will be testing hourly, and Im only 1 DPO!! I definitely need a 12 step program for being a Stick Stalker!!!

[HopeandDreamG]

I think I see it NC!!! I'm at the beach. A little hard to see with the glare! Awesome!!! Hoping I'll get a bfp soon to join you. O in a few weeks :)

[NCBeachyGrl]

Hope - I am so glad your health looks good and you are back on the TTC wagon! Fingers crossed you get that BFP soon!!

[pebmcpd7]

Calling in to see if there are many tw'waiters, wow nearly 100 posts and it only the 2nd august, good luck to everyone this month including me!!!!!!

[Wishing4Pink]

Congrats ynwa, that's a def positive. Here's to a happy and healthy pregnancy x

[Shellbelle]

Congrats ynwa!

[auroara78]

Congrats Ynwa!!!

love all those BFPs already!!! whooo hooo!!!

[The Anchor]

YAH Ynwa! Way to go girl. I'm hoping we'll be due date buddies...

[mummypink]

Huge congrats to everyone who has their BFP already, fingers crossed there will be loads more of us!

I'm about 5dpo, no symptoms at all so far and really don't think we have done it this month but I soooooo hope we have! I'm not going to test until my af is late though as I've never had a BFP until I'm at least 3 days late with both my boys.

Good luck lovely ladies! xxx

[Butterfly Spirit]

OK...being the POAS addict I am, I just tried an IC...do you see anything?

3863

Yep I do, even with this one and its PINK!!! ;)

[Butterfly Spirit]

NC! YAY GIRL! Its your BFP!

[Butterfly Spirit]

3879

Ynwa! You also got a BFP! YAY!!!

[NCBeachyGrl]

Thanks butterfly! I really hope this is it! I'm not going to fully be happy until I get a very obvious FRER! Check out my other thread in the 2WW section...more pics to analyze!

[Mrs_P]

OMG just seen the most beautiful baby photo i have ever seen

check it out if not already seen it

http://genderdreaming.com/forum/ht-pregnancies-ht-baby-talk/8155-shes-here-one-week-old-today.html

a little insentive for you all.... she is gorgeous

[Butterfly Spirit]

Thanks butterfly! I really hope this is it! I'm not going to fully be happy until I get a very obvious FRER! Check out my other thread in the 2WW section...more pics to analyze!

:HH: Well, I am so excited for you! Its YOUR turn! :HH:
Cheapies always show up for me first..the regular ones later. You should go get $1 test for fun and hold your pee for four hours and try that.

Also the best way to find a line on a pic is to move your head from side to side.. that line will jump out and your eyes will catch it! :)
If its in your hand turn the test slowly away from you and back again.

[fish2012]

i blame all of you, i was a wait til a week late kinda girl before i met all of you :bigsmile:

me tooo ;-0

[*ruby*]

I can see the second line in both pics!!!! Looks like this is your BFP beachy!

[NCBeachyGrl]

Don't anyone tempt me to buy more tests! LOL!!!! $ store....here I come!

[NCBeachyGrl]

Ladies - This is a great start to August! Come on BFPs.Fingers crossed I get a good line tomorrow!

[*ruby*]

beachy - you totally need to go buy some more tests.

I tested again this morning with a FRER as AF was due today and the second line came up straight away & just as dark as the control line. So looks like it's official.

Mrs P - What a beautiful baby girl!

I don't know about anyone else but I just can't see us having a girl, one can hope though.

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

My girl came after 2 ds's. Be positive!!!!!! All I did was drink CL and eat Craisins. Talk about lazy sway. You absolutely can have a dd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

And as Atomic says, you can't have a shot at your desired gender if you don't get pregnant. You've already won half the battle. Another woman on here said that she hoped that God would bless her with a dd or take the desire away to have one. I'm not sure what you believe in, but I thought that was an amazing statement. Good luck and hope to hear there is a pink lady in there making herself comfortable...

[*ruby*]

I totally agree with that saying. Right now I am just so happy to be pregnant that i'm not too worried about it, I just want a baby firstly and a girl would be just an added bonus. I think for me it's better to be proven wrong than spend all my time hoping it's a girl. That's what i say now anyway :wink:

[The Anchor]

Okay...I'm 12 DPO. I don't know what to do, I absolutely HATE POA...it just stresses me out! There's an FRER staring at me on the counter. JEEZ. I've got some cramping so could be AF. What to do what to do.

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

PLEASE PEE ON IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[*ruby*]

I say test, i've had cramping all week and have always had it in the week before a bfp.

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

If you pee, my fingers are triple crossed. I can cross my eyes if you want me to...

[The Anchor]

If you pee, my fingers are triple crossed. I can cross my eyes if you want me to...

I seriously laughed at that...hubby says "what the hell are you doing up there". Of course he has no idea, he wouldn't know a woman's cycle if it walked up and slapped him. I'm just so NOT sure, you know? I had a little pink spotting yesterday, I know, could be implantation, but nothing since then. Isn't it better to POA in the morning?

[NCBeachyGrl]

Do it by all means!!!!!!

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

I always got my 1st bfp in the afternoon. Of course I went through about 6 tests in a day before I got a +. If my husband only knew how much I've spent on tests. He'd be able to buy the Corvette he's always wanted...hahahaha.

[The Anchor]

OK. I'm gonna do it. I just have to save up some pee. If I don't come back it was a BFN.

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

I'll keep my eyes crossed till I see another post. lol. Good luck Anchor. :cheerteam: This is NC, Ruby and I cheering for you!!!!

[NCBeachyGrl]

Go Anchor...go Anchor...get your BFP:cheer: You better come back! LOL!

[NCBeachyGrl]

So a bit off topic, but I am SO excited. I finally stepped on the scale at the pool this afternoon and I have lost 15lbs since May 1! 5lbs a month! I am about 5'7 - 5'8 and I started off at 145 and today I weighed 130. This is by far my lowest weight ever. How do you calculate BMI?

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

NC we're going to be the first members to get kicked off this site. I think we're cyber bullying...:rofl:

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

I think your bmi at 5 feet 8 is 19.8!!! That's great.

[The Anchor]

OMG OMG OMG...do you see it?

[NCBeachyGrl]

That is very obvious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!

[The Anchor]

OMG! I can't believe it.

[Winngrin]

I see it easily!!!!! YIPPEE!!! Congratulations and lots of pink dust to you!!!!
:running:

[NCBeachyGrl]

I am loving August! I am so excited for you!!

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

OMG!!!! August is on fire. CONGRATS ANCHOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:omg::bighug:!!!!!

[Winngrin]

Oh, wait....I see your signature says "no preference"....did you sway??

[The Anchor]

holy crap! how am I gonna tell DH. he doesn't even know we're trying!!!!

[The Anchor]

no I didn't sway...but I'm pretty sure I'm a natural boy HE dieter. I'm not fussed either way. I still can't believe it.

[*ruby*]

Definitely see it! Congratulations!!!!!

Excellent work on the weight loss beachy!!!!!

[The Anchor]

OMG!!!! August is on fire. CONGRATS ANCHOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:omg::bighug:!!!!!
thank you thank you thank you!

[*ruby*]

Are you going to tell him today or wait a bit. Does he have any idea?

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

I love you Anchor. My dh knows but doesn't know either...hahahaha

[The Anchor]

Are you going to tell him today or wait a bit. Does he have any idea?

He seriously has no idea. But he'll be thrilled...we'd have half a dozen kids if he had his way. I might wait a bit...

[The Anchor]

I love you Anchor. My dh knows but doesn't know either...hahahaha
I know right? Why bother them with the details?

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Will he marry me too? I'd have lots of kids. hahaha We'll be stick stalking sister wives!!!!!! I'm tired. Sorry for the dry humor.

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

The less they know, the better.

[NCBeachyGrl]

I had to tell my DH and even worse I had to explain to him that he had to do FR (that means I had to do it...TMI). "Honey...I love you and all, but don't get any ideas that I have turned kinky in my 30s...I just need to lower your sperm count".

[The Anchor]

Will he marry me too? I'd have lots of kids. hahaha We'll be stick stalking sister wives!!!!!! I'm tired. Sorry for the dry humor.

Crackin me up. Maybe we should approach TLC...they'll make a show about ANYTHING.

[The Anchor]

I couldn't even explain it to DH...he has the attention span of a fly. BJ? No questions asked!

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

What an exciting couple of days. I hope I'm part of this surge in bfp's in the coming weeks. I'd love to go through my journey with you ladies.

[The Anchor]

Fingers (and eyes) crossed for you girlfriend!

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Thank you so much Anchor. So happy for you. Love the dark line!!!!

[NCBeachyGrl]

Three men...I'll be a POAS pusher when it is your turn! LOL

[Winngrin]

You ladies are hysterical. I'll never be able to wait 10 days to test!!!

[mummypink]

Huge congrats NC and Anchor on your BFP!!!!!!! I've ordered some cheapy pregnancy tests on ebay because of you lot. lol!

I'm around 6/7 days after ovulation and woke up in the night needing to wee which was odd, then had period type pain in my lower back this morning and still have it a bit now. Trying not to get my hopes up... but so hard not to symptom spot!!

Really hope we have a bumper month of BFPs!! x

[Shellbelle]

Still waiting to o. Cycle day 8.

[Shellbelle]

Anchor! Congrats!

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Mummypink I'm stalking!!!!! Hope to see you peeing on a stick or 10 in the next few days.

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

I've got a new name for us...Cyber Stick Stalkers, or CSS!!!

[mummypink]

lol ThreeMen! :bigsmile:

I've never had an early BFP with either of my first pregnancies so my plan was to wait until my af was late but you lot are really tempting me! :wink:

For those who have their BFP have you come off the LE diet or are you gradually coming off it?

I took the dog for a walk and started feeling really dizzy so think I need to up my calories a bit. x

[The Anchor]

OMG....I think this is it!!!!!!!!!

3900

HOORAY NYBC...we're due date buddies!!! CONGRATS!

[Winngrin]

Im 2 dpo over here and CANNOT wait to test!! Soooooooooo hoping I join the ladies with BFP!!!
:cheer:

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

I hope this next week flies for you Winngrin!!! I hope I O soon so I can be in the 2ww. As much as it sucks to wait to test, it's a lot better than waiting to O...

[myGirl]

Big congrats to all the girls with BFPs!!!

Finally we are having a good run here :)

I am Oing today so I hope to test in 11 days. Good luck to everyone waiting to test :luck:

What happened with Suregena? Did she ever update?

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

I was wondering about her.

[NCBeachyGrl]

Lovin this pic! Ladies....hide your tests b/c I will pee on anything that will show that beautiful line!

3911

[Praying4Pink]

Hi ladies! Omg I leave for a few days and you girls go and get knocked up one me, lol. Congrats Anchor and NC for the BFP's!!!!! WooooooHoooooooo!

How is everyone else doing? I see some of us are O'ing together.

I have been crazy busy between swim lessons for my son and packing to move. Moving sucks! But we are moving to a bigger place so more room for more kids...if only I could get the second part down. So I believe I Od on Wednesday or yesterday. I took soy iso CD 5-9. Got a + opk on Tuesday. Weird thing happened this am that maybe you ladies might be able to shed some insight on. I went to the restroom to pee and I had brown spotting. I know it is way too early for implantation so maybe from the soy or the aspirin?

[NCBeachyGrl]

Suregena's in Berlin living it up!

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Don't forget Ruby and ynwa!!!! So many ladies have gotten bfp's in the last few days we're starting to forget them!!! That's a great thing. Keep them coming girls!!!!

[Shellbelle]

I hope all the babydust here settles on us, too!

I must be so hormonal. Doctor Who is making me cry, LOL.

[Lilpumpkin06]

Congrats ladies! I will have my first TTC attempt mid August. I'm getting nervous & excited! I want a BFP but know that the longer I'm on the diet the better chance for my girl. Just so ready to eat again! Haha! So happy for y'all!

[Winngrin]

Thats my thought too Pumpkin. Im trying to tell myself that if I get a BFN I shouldnt be too upset, that I should just consider it more time to get my sway just right. With DS3 we got pg the first month we were trying, I cant decide if thats good (that it might happen that easily again) or bad (that it couldnt possibly happen that easy again)!! :fight:

[Praying4Pink]

Don't forget Ruby and ynwa!!!! So many ladies have gotten bfp's in the last few days we're starting to forget them!!! That's a great thing. Keep them coming girls!!!!

Thanks ThreeMen! Yes Congrats Ruby and ynwa!!!!! So happy for all of you lovely ladies. WHOOOO HOOOOO! Let's keep the BFP's coming ladies!

Shellbelle I hope it settles on ALL of us...and soon! How are you babe? Thinking of you!

Surgena I hope you are having a fantabulous time in Berlin!

So my friend who is pregnant with twins has been very supportive of my ttc because we both had fertility problems the first go round. Ironically, we both became pregnant at the same time 3 years ago. So I sent her a pic of my ovuation stick and I almost made her have a heart attack because she thought it was a pregnancy test. :rofl: because I know she probably really did almost have a heart attack. Too hilarious!

[fish2012]

I hope all the babydust here settles on us, too!

Oh spare baby dust this way please cd 5 today attempt three I 'm so over the diet the ttc the bfn the whole thing! Off to take my guides on camp hoping this distraction will help......any tips ladies with bfp's????

[Lassie1982]

My goodness I've just popped my head in here and wow!!!!!

Looks like we are making up for the last 2 months worth of low bfps!

AWESOME NEWS!!!! Finally the drought is over :)

Congrats to all you ladies that have you BFP's :cheer: Wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months!!!

[Shellbelle]

P4P that is too funny! How are you doing? Things are okay here... I'm just ready to o and get this show on the road lol.

[NCBeachyGrl]

congrats all x

I say BD at + OPK and then the next 2 days! Worked like a charm!

[*ruby*]

Wow, I worked last night and then this morning and look what I come back too!! Congratulations Beachy, soo happy for you. I knew you would be joining us!

[NCBeachyGrl]

Today's pics! I keep expecting to see that bright second line, but I have to tell myself that I am still only 10 DPO today!

3924

[mummypink]

Those with bfps have you had any other symptoms yet?

I'm symptom spotting like crazy, keep needing to pee in the night, and have had a real achy feeling similar to period pain. I had a sharp twinge today too when bending down which reminded me of one of the early pregnancy signs I had with my ds's. I woke with a horrible sore throat this morning and (sorry for tmi!) have been feeling damp down below all day. My brain is clearly on overdrive lol!

I was about to give in and test this morning (way too early as I'm only about 7dpo) but I can't find my tests anywhere! I hid them from myself last month (don't laugh) but I have a fr and a cheapie somewhere but can't bloomin find them!! Driving me crazy but at least it is stopping me waste a test, I'm hoping I will have a flash of inspiration in a few days and find them. Otherwise I will just have to wait for the cheapies I ordered from ebay.

Ttc officially drives me crazy! xx

[NCBeachyGrl]

I started getting CM at 2DPO and kept getting it pretty much every day. I had not seen CM for the last 2 months so I knew something was up. I did have some slight cramping at CD6 that I noticed. I have had a lot of symptoms since yesterday too - we went to the mall last night and I was so exhausted from walking through. If I hadn't of taken a test, I would have known without a doubt that I was pregnant. That mind numbing/out of it exhaustion is terrible!

Good luck to everyone still in the 2WW!

[Lassie1982]

Hiya!

I think I'm officially here :)

Pretty sure i ovulated yesterday - temp rise this morning.

Wishing i can be lucky enough to join this August BFP boom :)

[*ruby*]

ThreeMen - hopefully the peak is on it's way now...

[mummypink]

Really hope you get it soon ThreeMen, I got mine on CD18 so fingers crossed yours is about to appear. x

[Lassie1982]

I GOT AN EGG ON MY CBE AND A SMILEY FACE ON MY OPK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you tell I'm excited????? I just took a Zyrtec. I plan on dtd in about 15 hours or so. I'm excited and very nervous. I'd love a bfp but I'm afraid of one too. 5 kids is a lot!!!

Good luck :)

This is what I was FINALLY waiting to see!!!!!

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

What a pretty line NC!!!!!!!!!!

[NCBeachyGrl]

What a pretty line NC!!!!!!!!!!

thank you!!!! I hope I don't bother you girls with all my tests! I am just so paranoid that this will be a repeat of the last time we were TTC. I am not going to be able to relax until I make it to the 7 week dr. appt.

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Keep them coming NC. You do whatever you need to do to help ease the anxiety. I would NEVER oppose to seeing sticks...lol!

[Lassie1982]

Keep them coming NC. You do whatever you need to do to help ease the anxiety. I would NEVER oppose to seeing sticks...lol!


I second that!! I LOVE seeing +hpt's LOL

I reckon if i even finally get my bfp, i'll be testing daily for the first 12 weeks!

[Wishing4Pink]

Thats a fab looking pic NCBeachy :flowerz:

[NCBeachyGrl]

You ladies are soooo sweet! :hug2:

I only have one FRER test left and I am going to wait and take it on Wednesday - expected day of AF. It is really surprising to me how soon I got a BFP! I have set small goals for myself to get to 4 weeks and then 6 weeks and then the dr. appt. without any spotting or bleeding. I really do have a strong instinct that everything will be OK....but I hate this waiting!!

[mummypink]

Fingers crossed for a sticky bean for you NC. xx

I tested this morning but BFN, knew it would be as I am only about 9dpo and it wasn't a very sensitive test. Going to wait until I am late to test again now as I don't have many tests. Unless my cheapies arrive soon and then I may be testing in another couple of days! :wink:

[auroara78]

I get goosebumps when I look at + HPTs! love seeing them get darker too :) keep 'em coming, ladies!!

[maybeoneday]

Ladies, I need your help............

I have been pretty quiet on these boards lately as have been TTC now for 11 months and was starting to get pretty down about it all.

Well, my sway was crap last month and we DTD loads as I just really want to be pregnant now.

Anyway, I digress, so, yesterday, there I was at the olympic park watching the synchronised swimming and I went to the loo and there was a small amount of brown discharge there. I was 8DPO. AF is not due until Wednesday and I was gutted as thought she was coming early.

On the train on the way home, I suddenly thought it might be implanation bleeding. I have never had it before with either of my previous pregnancies so it has thrown me a bit. I have had the same brown discharge all day today - now 9DPO. I did POAS today (I know how you girls like a POAS) but it was negative (it was only an IC mind)

So, my question (if you have made it this far) is how long does IB last, is brown normal and when can I test and expect to get a +HPT if indeed I am pregnant and this isn't just a cruel joke by my body.....

Congrats to all the latest BFPs really hope to join you in the pregnancy boards.

[NCBeachyGrl]

I think you can get a positive 2-4 days after implantation. I had some strange cramps on 6DPO and then the faint positive 8 DPO and a true + on 9DPO.

Good luck! I will be looking for your BFP!!!!!

[NCBeachyGrl]

I went to the dr. today - they require you to come in and confirm you are pregnant before they make OB appts. So, I peed in a cup, they told me it was +, and I have my first appt. on September 5th!

It took everything I had not to ask if I could see the test. LOL! They have no idea who they are dealing with!

[mummypink]

Hi Maybeoneday,

Sorry you've been ttc so long, it could be implantation bleeding but there is a chance it could just be your af arriving early. I had the exact same thing one month. Seemed way too early for my af, I had brown spotting on and off for about 4 days before my af arrived. I think in my case it was a failed implantation or something as my af was very heavy afterwards.
I know people who had the brown spotting and then nothing more and got a BFP so my fingers are firmly crossed that this is how it turns out for you. xxx

[maybeoneday]

Thanks, I will keep you all posted on how this one pans out. I have seen so many negative HPTs that I just don't think it can be my turn, but I guess you never know.

Bodies can be so cruel sometimes. xx

[Praying4Pink]

P4P that is too funny! How are you doing? Things are okay here... I'm just ready to o and get this show on the road lol.

Hey Shellbelle..I am hanging in there. I know how it is honey. Just ready to get that BFP!!!

[Praying4Pink]

I love it NC! I hope you keep us updated with all of the exciting pregnancy news! I would have pretended I was shocked and went, "WHAT!?! I'm pregnant!!! Can I see that test to make sure you read that right?" :rofl:

[Praying4Pink]

OK ladies here goes...

I think I am O'ing....AGAIN!!! It's official. Soy has screwed me up big time...or helped big time but the jury is still out on that one. I don't know if I am O'ing twice or if my body geared up to O the first time but didn't. All I know is I had the +OPK on Wednesday and the brown EWCM on Friday. Then yesterday I had more EWCM and O pains and today...3953

[Shellbelle]

Hey Shellbelle..I am hanging in there. I know how it is honey. Just ready to get that BFP!!!

Me too. Cd 11 here and I'm just starting opks for this month.

[Lassie1982]

ergh - how annoying! Sorry Hun! Jury is still out for me on Soy - i seem to have o'd normally, and will know in 12 days wether or not its helped me conceive!

Do you temp swell - does that give you any clues? I could open the attachment, it says 'invalid'

[Lassie1982]

Me too. Cd 11 here and I'm just starting opks for this month.

me three!!

its ironic isn't it...we spend so much time and energy in avoiding pregnancy during many stages of our life (well, i certainly did) and then when we want to get pregnant it just won't happen :(

[Lassie1982]

I've had my daily dose of pineapple :) Apparently its a super food to help implantation - who know's ? But if there a chance its true then i'll eat pineapple till i look like one LOL

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

So true for many people Lassie.

[Winngrin]

Ugh, 6 dpo over here and trying so hard not to test, knowing its too early. I am over analyzing every teeny little twinge! Last night I didnt realize DH was watching me feel my (.) (.), checking for any sign of soreness! He thought I was putting on a private show just for him, HAHAHA.....yeah right, if he only knew!!

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

1 dpo for me....I wish I was 6 Winngrin!! Good luck to you.

[Winngrin]

ThreeMenAndALady.....dont you just wish you could hibernate through the next couple weeks? That would be such a useful ability!! Fingers crossed for you!

[NCBeachyGrl]

Good luck everyone! We need more BFPs!!!!! Threemen & Winngrin - when are you testing? :nails:

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

I'm testing next Tuesday.

[NCBeachyGrl]

I'm testing next Tuesday.

Exciting!!!! I hope time flies!

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Me too. But I think with only 1 attempt at + opk I'll be looking at a bfn. I'm ok with it though. I already have an April baby.

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

I'm also worried about not using Rephresh. And dh didn't do a thing!! Zyrtec and diet washed down with some CL. Lazy sway all the way!!

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Should I continue to drink CL in the 2ww or does it not matter anymore?

[NCBeachyGrl]

I would limit aspartame to 2-3 servings a day. It prob. doesn't matter too much!! I kind of stopped crystal light and enjoyed my 2-3 diet sodas a day (but now I am weaning off) and strawberries with Splenda instead.

[NCBeachyGrl]

I'm also worried about not using Rephresh. And dh didn't do a thing!! Zyrtec and diet washed down with some CL. Lazy sway all the way!!

You prob got a DD without RePhresh and doing any swaying so I am sure you are fine! :bigsmile:

[Winngrin]

I might have taken a test today just to get it out of my system a little :oops:! Of course it was negative. I am going to try really hard to test every 2 days, so will test at 8, 10, 12 dpo......and hope that I dont drive myself crazy.

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Love it Winngrin!!! I may test next Monday instead!!!

[babydust]

Hi girls! 2WW here :). So if I do get a BFP this cycle, anyone know the best way to wean off of the Baby Aspirin? Been taking low dose since the day before ovulation (CD 13). Plan to take it at least until 14 DPO then wean slowly. Thanks!

Also have some symptoms! Frequent urination, bloating, breast tenderness, and increased CM. Hope this is all a good sign :)

GL girls

[Praying4Pink]

Me too. Cd 11 here and I'm just starting opks for this month.

Hey Shell...did you do Soy? I don't even know what I should count as my O date. Uggh this is super frustrating. I guess in theory I could just use yesterdays OPK since I am pretty sure that was a positive. I am going to take another one in about 30 minutes to see what it says. :shrug:

[Praying4Pink]

ergh - how annoying! Sorry Hun! Jury is still out for me on Soy - i seem to have o'd normally, and will know in 12 days wether or not its helped me conceive!

Do you temp swell - does that give you any clues? I could open the attachment, it says 'invalid'

Hey Lassie! No I don't temp...I tried it before but it just drove me and DH bonkers. It stressed me out too much and I was obsessing over every little temperature change so I decided not to do it again. I do hope the Soy works for us both.

Revisit my post Lassie...the picture showed up this time

[bigchrista]

Hey ladies can I join in?? I'm 8 dpo, and going nuts! I'm swaying pink. I drank 2water bottles of CL a day and when Icraved something sweet, push up pop with aspertame. I used rephresh, no zytrec for me as I had. Very little creamy cm. My goal is to test on 11 dpo (Friday) depending on temps and fx, no spotting.

[Shellbelle]

Hey Shell...did you do Soy? I don't even know what I should count as my O date. Uggh this is super frustrating. I guess in theory I could just use yesterdays OPK since I am pretty sure that was a positive. I am going to take another one in about 30 minutes to see what it says. :shrug:

Yes, this is my second month on soy and last month was a crazy cycle. This month looks like it will be just as weird, especially since my temps are still so high (for me). Good luck with today's test! Mine was definitely neg yesterday.

[Wishing4Pink]

Good luck Winnigrin, Threemenandalady, bigchrista and babydust and those waiting to o!

[Praying4Pink]

The results are in....

Today's OPK
3957

This is a definite positive right? So should I go by yesterday or today? I didn't have any EWCM today strangely enough but I had it yesterday.

[Praying4Pink]

Yes, this is my second month on soy and last month was a crazy cycle. This month looks like it will be just as weird, especially since my temps are still so high (for me). Good luck with today's test! Mine was definitely neg yesterday.

IDK Shell...I am almost tempted to just say forget the soy! Especially since it is screwing a perfectly good thing up. Well I did read that it could happen if you are already O'ing. I suppose I could give it another month (if needed) to see what happens. Maybe it just takes our bodies time to get used to it?

[tryingfornumberfour]

I'm on cycle day 23 and will probably test Friday or this weekend. First month trying. (we have three girls and swayed boy)

[Wishing4Pink]

Praying4Pink, that certainly looks like a very strong postive. Not sure which day you should go by though, sorry. Maybe someone else can help out

[Wishing4Pink]

Something to help the August BFPs along :omg:

I'm still in shock about it, and oh isn't here tonight to share with! Thought i saw some very faint shadows on my cheapies but wasn't sure but there's no doubting that result..

3960

[Wishing4Pink]

Typically it isn't working for me, argh!!! lol

[NCBeachyGrl]

OMG!!!! Congrats!!!!!!!!!! How many DPO are you!

Go August! This is awesome!!

[Wishing4Pink]

Thanks NC, i still can't believe it. Although excited, am very scared also!

I'm 11dpo, so think my due date will be 16th/17th of April. August is certainly a good month and may it continue for you other lovely ladies. Just trying to work out how to put a pic on...

[pedsrn]

Hey ladies congrats to all with bfp and good luck to those waiting!! I'm new here and on my second month ttc also my second month off bcp. I'm currently 2 dpo so it's going to be a long 11 more days! I'm going to wait for a late af....as I spent a fortune in tests last month and got bfn!! I'm confused as I never got positive Opk, but had cramps and back pain so I know I ovulated between Thursday and Saturday sometime. Fx it happens this month :pinksperm::pinksperm::pinksperm::pinksperm::pinks perm:
