Apparently a day or so after fertilization the egg releases a chemical called EPF (early pregnancy factor) which lowers your immune system to stop it from attacking the egg. Getting ill about now could actually be a good sign. :luck:Quote:

I've never thought about that before! With my 1st pregnancy I felt really run down even before I got a BFP...so that's pretty interesting.Quote:

Hi out of the Blue ( cool name choice) and everyone else. I am TTC this month after a chemical last cycle. I am ov TODAY!! Awesome right? Not really! My poor ds who just turned 3 was admitted to our local Hospital with what appeared to be some super virus. He was having 105+ fevers. Today is day 6 and we've been moved to Children's Hospital Boston. They are checking for Kawasaki disease, he has some of the symptoms and some bad blood work but not all of it is insistent so we're still thinking virus. He's actually doing much better than he was Sat through Tuesday.
I am ashamed to admit I brought my opk's with me to hospital. Last nights was very close to positive, so after a pm to Atomic I took her advice sent dh home for all my "stuff" and attempted a TBM. So awkward in a bathroom. I just couldn't miss this month after all my hard work, especially because I'm 40 and don't have much time!! When I did an opk's this am it was SUPER positive. Now what? Do we attempt another TBM in our private hospital room? I would never dtd, I'd be to scared! I might dtd ( quick and discreetly with sleeping ds tucked in bed)if it was late and there were no nurses checking in but I'm sure dh wouldn't. I wanted to go through O because of age and using Rephresh and Sylk. What do you all think ( besides that I'm nuts). Obviously Ds is our first priority but I need these o attempts. I did another Rephresh finger this a.m. even though I was due for a full applicator but didn't want to make it too hard if need to do TBM. dh has done FR and it asn't been easy. Today is day 20 of my cycle!! I'm STARVING. Not much on diet at Hospital cafeterias. Mostly Diet Pepsi with loads of Equal!!
Sorry so long but could use you advice. I've read all you posts and praying for a number of you to get your BFP's soon. That stark white first line is heartbreaking.
haha, no probs....:)Quote:

if it is another boy i would rather find out at the birth anyway, plus even if they did tell me it was a girl, i would never believe it untill it was born and could see it with my own eyes, in the flesh....
today af is due... waiting waiting waiting
TELL AF SHE ISN'T WELCOME HERE!!!!!!!!!!!Quote:

I found myself staring at the pregnancy tests after that, but I forced myself to walk away without buying any. I bought some book shelves though, so I'm going to keep myself busy with putting those together and organizing them tomorrow. I'm just waiting for Sunday because I'm either going to see a BFP or AF. How is everyone else doing?
