Kris -woohoo for the 2ww but so sorry Sarah, hope she's back on her feet soon.

14 pages I had to go back! Glad you liked the pics, before the m/c seeing new little faces kept me so excited and hopeful when ttc. She's such a sweet baby, took the girls to visit her today. They lost they're little minds, they love her so much and she's not even ours lol My friend is doing well, lots of pain killers and the plan is to release her Monday. I did great, less affected then I thought but not actually seeing her be born kept a lot of the emotion at bay. I don't know about you ladies but I can't even watch a birth on tv (real not dramatized) without crying so not seeing that kept me excited instead of crazy emotional. Sitting there snuggling her makes me really really hope this baby hangs around. Don't get me wrong I always wanted that but holding that sweet baby punched a few holes in the wall I've put up.
Thanks for your support on my detachment, I've been keeping it to myself because it makes me feel selfish. You ladies are struggling to get preg and here I am not really excited and just hoping I'll still be preg tomorrow. I'm hoping my Thursday appt helps but I doubt it will. Last time all was well at 10 wks, hell as far as I knew all was well at 12wks 6 days. Anyway I love the support here, keeps me calmer and with a little hope that I will actually end up with a baby this time. So tired, off to bed.

Don't think twice about feeling guilty about complaining, I totally understand!

ITA, but there is no way my DH could wait that long. I'm going to try and talk him around next time but I don't like my chances.

I am trying not to get too excited myself as I have noticed on both my preggo charts I got massive temp jumps about 4/5dpo.......I don't 'normally' get such a big one and this month I have too probably means nothing but...:)

Looking good :) Good luck! When are you testing?

3pnb, WHAT A CUTE BABY! :DD: ITA with Babydes and all about not finding out now. Things like cute pics of baby girls always get me. I saw a cute couple with 3 girls today and it made me smile.

Will check in later, ladies, out to have some red wine with a girlfriend. It's a part of my, uh, sway. :wink:

---

Hope you enjoyed that swaying wine!

The proof will be next time I O, but things are better already and it's safe to take w/ pregnant and nursing. GL to you!

I just feel so old! I think any bump along the way is a "sign" that I should stop now and not have anymore children. I hope you are right and it is not too bad or too long to treat. I have been reading information from this site http://www.thyroid.org.au/Information/Conditions.html and maybe getting myself a bit scared. Anyway test results are due on wednesday so will start worrying or not then.

Love the pics 3Pink she is soooo beautiful. You will hold yours in your arms too very soon. After my 2 m/c I also felt detached it was not until the 12 week scan that I actually said to myself Ok it is now time for you to start getting attached to this bub. So I will say the same to you now. The scan will help I am sure when you see those beautiful arms, legs flapping around as if trying to hug you already, you will not be able to help yourself...

3Pink- You have every right to feel the way you do- it's not without reason either- hopefully given time it will change xo

Bec- My husband would not wait either :) we will find out for sure at 19 weeks...as for me testing I am 9dpo tomorrow trying to resist I know it will be BFN even if I am preggo i just don't test positive that early......I will see what happens in the morning though might have to do it anyway... :)

Layla- hope the test results are good news... let us know.

TTC5- your chart looks good can't wait to see what happens when you test again...I assume you will test tomorrow?

Babydes- hope that sex drive finds you soon LOL

Sorry if I have missed anyone- I have been staying away a bit hoping the 2ww will go a bit quicker....... But I just know the last week of it is going to crawl by regardless so I might as well obsess! LOL

Adding now!!

DD's bday party went well! She was sooo excited! I did eat some cake and only a little bite of ice cream. Also had some sweet tea. Maybe no harm done. Back at the boy diet now. Hoping to O around July 19-21!! Feels like it'll take forever to get here!

Ttc5- I used a dollar store test on cd11 and the answer wasn't clear, I used another dollar test with fmu on cd12 and still unclear. Frer with 5 hr pee got me the bfp.

Alexis- good for you for eating some cake, I guarantee you many boy moms ate cake and ice-cream within days of conception. O day will come sooner then you think!

I know how you feel :( I HATE those BFN's but hey there is still hope...perhaps yu wont test positive till 4 days after your dip like i do...which is 13dpo......... I am already giving up hope as i haven't seen a dip at all and am 9dpo...ah well theres always next month....

Jen unclear as in no2nd line lol or a light shadow of a line?

cheeky - fx for us both hey!!

TTC5 I never test before day 14, this is because even at day 14 my second line is very faint. I think there is still hope. Wait till day 14 and then test. Find other things to distract yourself with. For example tell me what you think of Posh's "girl diet" and what she ate (apparently she does eat) when she conceived her boys. It sounds like more protein for boys and more carbs for girls and also opposite of what she normally eats (yes yes ladies as amazing as it sounds she does eat) i.e. before only protein fruits and vegatables (sounds like atomic's caveman diet) and for girls milk and carbs (sounds like what I always ate). Also who thinks she went to hi-tech without being caught? Are we allowed to engage in gossip on this forum? It is slightly related to the forum's discussion topics.

If it makes you feel better, I'm 35 1/2. :) Is DH wanting more and your kind of done? I'll check out the website and keep us updated.

I'm sure he would have much rather been home w/ you too. I had my DH gone for 3 weeks and it was rough and I wasn't in my 1st trimester. GL, hun!

Hi ttcboy2011! BTW - I was taking fertileCM and it messed up my cycles. If things get wacky that would be the 1st thing I'd drop.

I wish I was 35 Iluv! No, I always wanted 3, DH would love to have more I think but I won't. I just wish I started sooner. I think I will find it hard with a small age gap, but I can't wait for a longer age gap as I feel I am too old. But yes I do wonder whether 3 was just some number that was stuck in my head without knowing the hard work and expense that children involve. Don't get me wrong I love being with my kids it is the best job I have ever done, but I just think DD2 will not get the attention that she deserves if we have another bub, the attention that DD1 enjoyed. Again I do wish I was 35 then I would wait one more year before we start ttc again. Glad I did not try Fertile CM iluv, but what did your dr say what could have caused your thyroid issues? Not enough iodine? Too much iodine or something else completely? I am trying to distract myslef till wednesday and not think about it but it is hard...

Welcome ttcboy2011, the ladies here have been saying to me to wait and be on the diet for 3 months before I ttc. Otherwise I also intended to ttc in july. GL.

I think without a doubt she went HT ;)

I would wait 6-8 weeks minimum if you can hold out :) 3 months would be better though!

Took the girls up to the snow today for an hour, they loved it :) Trying to keep distracted but all I can find myself doing is googling 11dpo and early tests and bla bla bla... I just don't "feel" pregnant. Last two nights am waking in the night with a little blood nose but other than that... nothing :(

Cemas, great that you finally got the smiley!

3PNB, I don't know how you're feeling but I am glad you feel so supported on here. It's the small things that make all the difference.

Alexis, sounds like your DD had a great party. I'm sure the icecream and cake won't make any difference to your sway. Good luck!

Layla, I'm so thinking Posh went HT as well. If I had the money I would!

TTC5, do you live close to the snow? We live hours away but DH is a fanatic snowboarder so he goes all the time during the snow season.

I'm CD3 at the moment. So for the last two cycles my LP has been 12 days. Is that too short?

It snowed just 5 minutes from our home, and we drove another 10 minutes to the mountain!!

Would this be a symptom lol... have had dry mouth/throat since about 6dpo I think and still have it?? LOL.... clutching at straws now heheh

That would be great living so close to the snow. I want to take the girls soon.

No idea about the dry mouth? So you last tested this morning?

Yep BFN, will try again in the morning lol 12 dpo FX!

It's like i have to keep drinking to put some moisture in there lol but I am not feeling thirsty?

What does Dr Google say about it?

The girls would have loved the snow. Take them again tomorrow first thing in the morning and don't test. Come on you can do it. The dry throat I think is what happens after you spend one hour with 4 girls on the snow. :prof:

Bec, Posh has the money to bring the IVF clinic to her home for sure she went HT. I bet that was the whole reason why she moved to the states. As if Becks got anything good out of playing for the LA Galaxy (the LA what?). That is why they called her after his football jersey (poor bub)....

LOL yes they do give you sore throats lol :P
