Love these stories, they are so awesome!
For DS1, my period was two and a half weeks late and while the thought did occur to me that I may have been pregnant, I didn't remember us having sex that month (Jan 07) so I kept dismissing it, saying 'OK you're not the Virgin Mary, you don't get pregnant' from just nowhere! Then I had to go to my eye doctor for my annual exam and on the sheet it specifically asked "are you pregnant?" I checked "No" but it bothered me the whole day, that I might have lied on my exam eye, lol. So it was still bothering me so much that later that night, I pulled open the lower bathroom counters and dug around in all my junk for a spare pregnancy test. We had a preg. scare the previous year, and I was praying that I had one test leftover, because after the scare (I ended up buying like 10 tests, all BFNs, but really thought I was pregnant) I was hell-bent never to go testing crazy again.
So anyway, I found one test leftover, frantically ripped open the packaging, and tried to pee. Well, I couldn't. I was pee shy. So after 15 or 20 mins in the bathroom trying to reassure my pee to come, (I had to promise it I wasn't pregnant!) finally it started and as I was still peeing the test went positive!
The next thing I remember was rushing out of the bathroom to the living room, thrusting the stick in my DH's face and saying "LOOK!"
He took one look at the test and said, "Don't the lines have the same color?" The test line was much darker than the reference line, LOL.
I told him "no" that it was def. pos. He said "Well, let's go to Kroger, I need beer now and I want to get one of those tests that actually say it in plain English."
DH later admitted that he thinks he may gotten me awake in the middle of night and had sex with me. I asked if I had been awake, and he said he couldn't remember~ Lovely to get pregnant when you may not have been awake~ in any case, I don't remember DS1's conception at all, just that I might have been sleeping through it. DH swears he pulled out in time! (but obviously....LOL)
:omg: what a funny story well at least he couldn't blame you lolQuote:

Well ladies, I really think I'm out.
It's 10:30p here and I just cleaned the downstairs bathroom and kitchen sink like we were selling our house tomorrow. hehe..
It's my week before AF nesting. UGH.
AF's here in full force! And 2 days early...
I suppose one thing that i am lucky about and thankful for is regular short cycles - so my waiting time is minimal, it must be so hard for those with 30+ cycle lengths
So I'm on CD1.
Will keep an eye on this thread though because i want to see your BFP's!
Come on girls - this is another super quiet month - you need to ramp it up!
:luck:
its official i am a poas addict
i know i said i only had one test left and was going to wait til closer to af but i caved this morning. test said 50% chance of being right at this stage (vs 80% if i'd waited til tomorrow) but i caved - BFN and serves me right now i'm really cross with myself
hope your all ok getting near to the end this month now anyway so at least the waiting will soon be over.
Lassie i'm sorry about your BFN fingers crossed for next month hun x
Hi ladies I am joining you today at 1 dpo,yay,I am happy with how things went this month,apart from my diet,(Dh birthday = birthday cake)anyone due to test?so do we still only have 1 bfp this month???
Lassie, sorry about AF.
I'll be right behind you. I just wish mine would get here sooner so I could start on my next attempt sooner. Ugh. We'll be at the beach the exact days I'm ovulating next month. This is going to be a real juggle. I hope it relaxes me enough that it helps...I really want a baby.
Good luck to the rest of you ladies...I'll be watching for your BFPs!! Xx
I'm so sad that we have so many bfns this month. :( Heres to lots of bfps in August!
8dpo here. Really sore bbs and woke up burning up and sweating at night, which I haven't done since I was pg with my 2yo. If my body is faking me out im going to be so dissappointed! Didn't test this morning but I will again tomorrow.
Sorry Lassie...:hugs: But alas there is a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow right? At least you are back in baby making mode and you know the outcome. I hate this feeling pregnant and seeing negatives. I just want this wait to be done already.
Well I am 13DPO and I definitely should have gotten a positive by now. AF is due Tuesday so I am just waiting on her arrival. Since I am a lazy swayer...this month I am going to skip breakfast to favor low blood sugar. Keep up with the Crystal Light for both myself and DH. I am going to add baby asprin and soy isoflavones. I seriously thought about cassava but after reading a blog from a friend of mine who was dealing with IF issues I decided against it. Not that she took it or anything but she became pregnant with twins. One was born still and the other was on a ventilator...she ended up passing shortly after a year. I know that twins can be a magical thing but that is one thing I would not try to force. If twins are meant for us then great but I won't be upping my chances with this one...
Oh and I may even favor my CM a bit with Robitussin. I know that is a boy sway move BUT we are swaying with past IF issues so I have to be cautious about certain things IF I want to be pregnant. I remember atomic once said...a sway is for nothing if you can't get pregnant (or something like that).
On another note...we are moving to a bigger house. We are renters but we found a place closer to where we work and our church and family so we are moving....like soon...like in a month, lol.
Shellbelle I have sore boobs too but more on the side. I remember distinctively that my boobs were sore in the armpit area with my first and they are sore there again but unfortunately I keep getting dang negatives on the hpt's. I feel disappointed too that I am having all these symptoms and nothing to show for them. Sigh...Quote:

Thanks Shellbelle! I was kind of hoping there wouldn't be a next month...YKWIM? But if so, so be it. I'm just kind of feeling down and anxious because I don't want a repeat of DS#1. Come on Shellebelle bring one home for the both of us honey!Quote:

Even though I'm pretty positive I'm out, I'm still stalking this page waiting for the BFPs!! :)
Hi ladies! Sorry for being MIA. The witch got me and I've been in a bit of a funk; we're not going to try anymore for now, maybe for good. Hubby took back the "now or never" (which I realized was making my slightly obsessive) and we decided to take 6 months to get our (my?) mind around whether we really should go for a third or whether we should count our blessings at two and move forward. I realized I was spending too much time longing for a girl and had to stop myself and look at my two amazing boys and honestly ask myself if I'm trying for the right reasons. I always dodged the question, even just mentally when just asking myself in my bed at night, whether I wanted another child or if I just wanted a girl. I realized that I totally rushed into #2 (because of gender desire) and while I'm so glad they're close now, it probably would've been nice to enjoy my time with just #1 without trying to fill a void of some sort. I realized that I may be doing it again. I know that I've only been on these boards a few months but my mind has been racked with gender desire for much longer. In the next six months I am going to try not to think about boy vs girl or even about having another, but just enjoy my two little ones and get some perspective. I'll have to see if the baby fever creeps back in. When/if it does, I'll know I am trying for the right reasons, and because it's good for everyone, not just me. I have to tell you as disappointing as it was to have bfn and tear myself away from the excitement and anticipation of ttc, I am at peace when I look at my guys. If I want to have GD let go of me I'm going to have to let go of it. And if I come back, it'll be for the right reasons.
Sorry for the long rambling post, but I wanted to check in, especially with you gals in the 2ww, before I left for a while. You've all been super supportive and wonderful, and it's so nice to meet people who are so generous and positive. I wish you all the bfp's and genders you dream of! I know they're coming.
I'm so glad you posted, because I was beginning to worry about you. We'll miss you so much here! I know this had to be a tough decision for you. Thankful that you've found some peace, and praying that you'll find what's right for all of you.
Craving, I've been wondering about you...
I totally understand what you're saying...it's a part of why I waited so long to try to have another baby. I wanted to enjoy my boys and I can honestly say, I truly have. It's taken me 7 yrs, but I'm ready for a baby again.
I think it's great that you and your DH are on the same page now and you don't feel rushed into anything. That's kind of what my DH and I went through...I was ready, but he wasn't...and now we're at a point where we're both sooooo ready.
I wish you all the very best and I hope that I come back here later....at least after I've conceived (unless you change your mind next month...lol) and watch your journey. :) I'm so glad we met here and I hope you keep in touch!! XX
hugs craving - I've been thinking of you too..
I'm sorry for how you are feeling :( And I'm sorry we won't be seeing you around - but I understand where you are coming from.
I wish you every strength, matters of the heart and soul are never easy but you and hubby will get through it and you'll be stronger at the other end.
Really hope you will keep in touch, been great getting to know you - you have been a real inspiration to me and the girls here
All the best xo
So true Beadin! I'm glad that I have such great support in you ladies!Quote:

If my body is faking me out I'm about to come down with something.
Craving we will certainly miss you around here. I totally get what you are saying and trust me I have been thinking about the same thing recently. With my good friend being pregnant again and me wanting to experience the pregnancy with her and wanting a girl and everyone asking us when are we going to give my son another sibling and...the list goes on...I just wonder if I am doing it because I do want another baby or because of the pressure.
All I know is that I almost cried when I saw the spotting this morning and regardless of the reasons I do want to have another baby. So we will continue to try until it happens and I will continue to sway (although lazily) and I will be completely happy and blessed regardless of what gender I receive...But I do want a girl, lol.
So yeah pretty sure I am out :sad:
I need to remind myself that I have never gotten a bfp till later. Unless my lp has lengthened some, af is due on Thursday, and I usually start spotting at 10dpo (tomorrow) so we'll know in a few days either way.
Having some weird heaviness in my lower abdomen and mild cramping now. I hope that's a good sign.
:pray: for your BFP Shellbelle!!!!Quote:

I too haggled my DH to try for a 2nd fast after the 1st but it took 3 and half years because we really were in a spot with our jobs. DS2 happened anyway (we weren't trying, he wanted me to finish grad school first) and my first thought was "this is happening at rotten timing, it must be my girl." Well he's all boy, but that spurred me to find this group of ladies, and I am so grateful I found these awesome ladies to share some time and stories with :)
hugs, I really do hope you come back when you and your DH are ready!
Shell...crossing fingers & toes for you!!!
Cravingsalt - :( it will happen when you least expect it. Maybe taking a break is just what your mind and body need.
Who's still here? Im at 16 dpo. No signs of AF. Weird. I still haven't tested again yet. I will probably do so tonight.
