Look at me! I have a ticker! I'm so excited I did it right. It wasn't hard at all, either. Given that I used to write software code for a living one wouldn't think I'd be intimidated by things like that ;-)

OH and Jen, I'm think it'll be fun to wait it out so love that you might too ... I know you've done it once before but we never have, so I think it'll be fun to do it this way just once. Plus I'm likely going to have to be induced so since the birthday won't be a surprise at least something will!
LOVE the ticker!!!! If we have a boy, I am going to break out my cowboy and indians decor again.
Lola: DH said the same thing about the workers there. "Boy these people look ruff" and he is a police officer, so that's saying a lot. I was very....ummm....interested in my husband when we conceived 5 of the 6 kids (and this past month). NOt to say it doesn't happen when we are not TTCing, but I guess I just notice more.
omg 8 weeks already!!!!!! :)Quote:

I think the let down that I was feeling was because dd2 was sick yesterday and was crying a lot and I only weaned her about a month ago.
Thanks all for your support. Always love reading your stories about your holidays and your kids and your ex-boyfriends and your life. I won't be testing again before 14dpo, unless af comes sooner...
B- lovin the ticker!! It's fun to wait, it tortures people.
Layla- sorry for the bfn, waiting for 14dpo or af is a great idea :)
Not sure why but dd2&3 are going insane tonight. Their energy level is off the charts, not sure if they'll both make it till morning lol
Glad to see you still around here, don't worry about the weight....it can come off :) would suck if it was permanent! I'm sure you'll be back to your old self in no time, i know how you feel though. I was trying on new clothes today and boy do i hate those change room mirrors!!! I've put on 30kgs and really regret not loosing some before i got UTD.Quote:

And yea, what the hell is up with the store mirrors? Target is the WORST. I swear, those mirrors are pointed down to make you look stockier and the lighting is from straight above to make your cellulite and ass appear like the size and surface of the moon. I always get so depressed after I try clothes on there.
Layla, sorry about the bfn. You probably know this, but since you just weaned your DD, your body may still be adjusting, so try not to fret about it too much. It took me a few months after weaning to get my period back, so I know I wasn't even ovulating then either. Take it from a long-timer.....just gotta keep your chin up and get excited for the next try. Each month you try gives you a stronger sway, in my opinion, because you are making yourself more boy-friendly...although there is the weight thing, but you just have to deal with that however you can.
Begonia, I LOVE your ticker! I know, I can't believe you are 8 weeks already too!!!! I am really loving you and 3 not finding out. I very well may join you there someday.
SO, I am officially 1dpo today. Whoopety-do! I could totally feel my ovaries releasing egg(s) around 5pm yesterday, so we hopped in the sack and dtd again, right on top of it. IG sticklers would have a heart attack about that, no? LOL
Haha, now I don't feel as judgemental towards the Carnies. They really are scary. We have a lot of mayhem in our city when the Fair comes to town.....afterhours, that it. The late night dive bars love that time of year.Quote:

There was no way we weren't going to dtd that night....DH was all about it too, must have been my pheramones or something. Good to hear that yours usually resulted in babies, WP!
:rofl::rofl::rofl: My mother is going to be BESIDE herself, LOL!Quote:

Layla keep us posted! I'll be super impressed if you do wait all the way til 14DPO. That's willpower.
I have felt really good the last 2 days, it's making me so happy! I was thinking based on how this pregnancy started, what with nausea before the BFP, that I was going to be sicker than ever. I expected that now at 8 weeks it would be in full effect, but so far .... I'm feeling better every day. Keeping my FX it keeps going this way!
TTC5 did you join the gym? OH and Lola, what is it with those Target dressing rooms?!?! I am a buy-and-return gal. I can't go in there anymore so I just bring it home and if it doesn't fit back it goes!
Hope everyone has a lovely weekend!
Ok...I'm getting some cramping right now. I did have a "dip" on my chart today. Maybe implantation? FX
Also....this is what I just got done eating: chips/dip, pickles, and watermelon!!! If I'm not pregnant, there's something really wrong with me! LOL
I did test this morning with a BFN, but it's still EARLY!!! Hoping all of the "symptoms" are the read deal!
Begonia, I totally used to be a buy and return gal....that is, back when I was a size 6 ALL THE TIME! Now, I don't know if I'll fit in a 10 or a 12. OMG, it's so depressing. Going to just not focus on that.....
Alexis, good luck! I don't get bfps till 10dpo at the earliest, so don't lose hope. Your chart looks good, and glad to see you bd'ed so much (like I did!)....you had to have caught that egg.
And I agree about it bugging people when you don't find out....I will have SO many people going insane. I don't know, if I decide to get a CVS, I may go ahead and find out, but otherwise....I am so thinking I'd love to not. But DH and the girls would, so the democracy might rule in our house. SO glad you are feeling well, too, B!
As for me, I know this may seem crazy, but I feel pregnant already....I can feel my left fallopian tube doing something, and I'm pooped today and the boobs hurt in the shower this morning. I just feel like I did when I was pg before both times.....ugh, I guess I just want this to be it.
Someone needs to get a bfp soon!
Lola-I really hope this is it for both of us! The sooner we get pg, the sooner we can get our skinny bodies back! lol
Sooo...I broke my wrist playn softball on Wed night and I am on prescription strength ibuprofen and 2 vicodin a day. AF should arrive in a week and my est O day is in about 20 days. Are these meds going to completely mess up my sway?
LMAO @ size and surface of the moon! My partner isn't wanting me to try on clothes ever again cos every time i come out of there i'm like" i'm so disgusting, how could you love someone so fat and gross like me" lol probably an over reaction but that's how i feel. Oh well i will lose it after the baby is born and take it easy during the pregnancy.Quote:

A Thanksgiving bfp would be divine! I can't wait until I have enough posts to see siggies. I post on lots of forums and it's so strange not to see them!
eta: Ok I got post happy LOL - yay for siggies!
Lola, I popped in to wish GL hope u get blue BFP and hold your baby boy after 9 months!!Quote:

Lola .... WOW u ve tried , im really hoping its your month , wish you really very very good luck , praying for BFP and sticky blue bean,Amin
well,im 5dpo and no unusual things....i know its early still but im reading of ones with the cm signs and im as dry as a bone:shrug:which is unusual for me but not exactly a good thing.its so hard waiting isnt it,oh,well,its not like im by myself on this one hey:hugs:
BFP! BFP! I GOT A BFP THIS MORNING!
10/11 DPO ish. NOT FAINT AT ALL. Totally dark with CBE Digi (the kind that are removable like the OPK's). I had NO symptoms, my temp even dropped today. I can't believe it girls! I am actually pretty chill about it, considering that I have been here before, but wanted to thank you all for help.
My timing is crap- but I don't care. We did the diet well (eating some poptarts with milk this morning) and supps, etc. Check out the chart if you want. :)
Thank thank you! Now- who is in the April due date club? I guess my due date is April 12th!
OMG that's so great! Congrats spicy!Quote:

Kris there is nothing wrong with not putting on too much weight during pregnancy and thus in a way loosing weight. I usually get gestational diabetis when pregnant and have to follow a very strict diet with limited amount of carbs. I have to see a dietician and an endoctrionologyst during pregnany. They both say that in fact a lot of large babies are being born from people who put on too much weight during pregnancy rather than from people who have gestational diabetis and everyone should not put on more then 12kg. If you are overweight you should do your best not to put on more than 5. Being iron steel will power I always stick to the diet 100%, I am sure the mother instinct kicks in and tells me to look after the baby properly. That being said it is much easier to do these things when you have both a dietician and an endoctrionologyst present at each ob appointment. Maybe your ob can recommend a dietician and you can see one if you are really worried.
Thanks, sweetie! How are you doing?Quote:

I hope you are doing ok!!!Quote:

Woo hoo, congrats Spicy!
Fx for Lola, Layla, Alexis, everybody who is testing soon!
Af is here full force for me, ugh, but with school starting up next week I'm hoping August will be a better month for me because I will have something to keep me busy besides obsessing over swaying and such.
I'm 10dpo today. I will be testing in the morning with a FRER. I am so nervous! I want it so bad, but I feel like it won't come :( I have some signs and then I don't have signs. I could chalk them all up to AF or pregnancy. That's the part I hate about it. Every single time we ttc, I get all these ips, when I NEVER have before. I never get pms, until AF is actually already here. But noooo.....my body whacks out when we start ttc!!! Ugh!Quote:

I think 3-6 months is all that I can give it, if it does not work then I am dumping swaying and going back to my girly friendly diet which brought me lots of fertility and only girlls.
I bought myself french earl gray tea and green tea to celebrate.
Daisy so sorry about af I really thought you had hope. Alexis I think this is your month too :fx: Don't worry about signs all of mine were obviously PMS and bad too.
August thread is now open :)

Thanks Layla that's good advice, I will be trying hard not to gain too much. I'm sure having a dietician helps a lot too!Quote:

Yep avoiding junk food is best bet. The protein + carb at each meal is still good advice for pregnancy. If you can aim for low GI carbs at each meal and snack that would be great. The low GI diet is mainly an Australian discovery (I swear we are so smart :-) and is great for any time including pregnancy. Dieticians are not too expensive, you can get some money back if you have private health insurance. GL I am so excited for you and your partner to get pregnant the way you did. I can't remember is IVF still not allowed for same sex couples in NSW or is it allowed now?
It is allowed now but it's a longer process due to the use of donor sperm. There is a nation wide shortage of it so they're shipping it in from America. Then you have to go through counselling then a cooling off period. I'm glad it worked at home for us, the money we saved on IVF or IUI will go into the baby bank account :)Quote:
