ButterflySpirit, how cool! You get advanced notice of your bfp. Mine wasn't much and is gone already. Probably just reading too much into every little thing. Congrats on your pregnancy!! What is a Celebration Scan?

Wow, Lassie- just saw your chart. It sure is climbing!! That's a beautiful luteal!
That's AWESOME! That's what it's supposed to be like! :DQuote:

My celebration scan is My 12 week scan! Celebration of a STICKY bean after my loss!
I've never had a scan at 12 weeks. I only had one at 10 weeks with my 2nd pregnancy because I had a OB. And after that not until 23 weeks (we wanted to be SURE on gender after a horror story from Dh cousin lol)
That gave me goosebumps, I LOVE it!! Counting down for your celebration scan. What a lovely notion.
Thank you! Yes, I just want June to end and July to FLY by..I'm not obsessing as much anymore though, so that's good. I think the progesterone saved my bean! And I take it religiously at almost exact times lol..even 5:15 AM!Quote:

I'm 8dpo so I probably should't test until at least Sunday but I'm sure I'll test sooner. I have no willpower when it comes to this!
thanks for the words of encouragement girls - had a really pooey day at work today and the words brought a smile to my face:)
Still no spotting for me, tons of creamy CM, still some very mild/dull cramps here and there in mini waves, and some faint headaches..
oh, and some small pangs of nausea ... only minor though.
Butterfly - i love the celebration scan idea :) SO excited for you!!! Cant wait to see your little bean, hope you will post the US pictures :)
Cravingsalt it certainly sounds like implant bleed :fx:
hey all
was anyone else taikng chitosan have you stopped now?
Sorry, fish2012- not familiar with chitosan.
Zanacal took Chitosan and you should stop it once you get pg to make sure your body can use the fats and fat soluble vitamins in your prenatals and foods. Some people like to continue with the Metamucil and other fibers for regularity (at smaller doses), just be sure you take it at different times of day than you take your prenatals and DHA supps.Quote:

Kaseybaby-
Feeling like I've been in the 2ww for a couple of weeks already! (9dpo) It's like the twilight zone. Hopeful every other day. Guess today's my not-hopeful day. Welcome to the 2ww! Good luck!

Hows everyone else??
Cravingsalts hows the implant bleed?
Lassie, we're on the same day, now that FF agrees with me! I'm at 9dpo, negative hpt's every day for the last few days (so easy to test when you have a bag full of cheapies!). On the bleed- nothing to report after that last post until a few hours ago, this time mysteriously on my undies but nothing on the tp when I wipe. A little down today, kind of got my hopes up despite telling myself I only have about a 15% chance per cycle at 31 (read that somewhere). I'm kind of getting a deja vu feeling from a few years ago when I would think I would have implant bleeding and it would be AF showing early.
Then again, according to FF, day 9 is the highest day of negative-before-a-positive... Early Negative Pregnancy Test Before a Positive - Stats Study ...and the roller coaster continues!!! LOL
Cravingsalt, I don't know when you had the implantation bleeding, but when I had it with my son it took two days for me to get a positive test.
I wonder why there are so many negatives at 9 dpo?
Hi DPO Buddy :wave:Quote:

My OV day was CD13 this month, and 13 is my lucky number (i was born on the 13th and somehow that number has always been lucky for me), I will also be on 13DPO when AF is due...Come on 13's - let this be my month!
Try not to let the 15% @ 31yrs cause you any doubts - that stat might be true (though it sounds too low to me) but i think its only true for those that are just DTD without contraceptive, as in, just going for it and not putting any analytics behind it. If you monitor ovulation and signs of fertility i think your chances are much higher then 15% - make any sense?
maybe because thats when a lot of women start testing, i.e. there are more testing at 9dpo then 8dpo, 7dpo.Quote:

Yes, true that monitoring fertility signs could put it higher, but then again swaying for a girl swings it back the other way. Ha, it is what it is I guess. Come on lucky 13! I'm pulling for ya' girl! Baby dust all around to all the ladies. :noaf:
kaseybaby- it's because we test ridiculously early. Can't help it!
I am trying really hard this month to NOT test until at least 11 dpo. I always test way too early.
CravingS, I'm really thinking yours was IB! With some women it's a little and some it's alot! I spotted a bit of red with my first son and then the second one a HUGE smear of dull reddish brown blood. I'm only prego after I see IB...all my months of TTC if I didn't see it, I didn't plan on a BFP. :(Quote:

I am thinking the same thing... No testing until 11 dpo. I am only 4 dpo so I have a long way to go. I feel like I've been in the 2ww forever, though.Quote:

I'm excited to see some upcoming BFPs!! Hopefully this weekend :)
Kaseybaby- just baby aspirin. Also, I am a little paranoid of the other big "o"...tmi? I'm afraid it could knock a bean loose, if there was one! lol Good thinking with the 11 dpo. I'm 10dpo today, still negative.
Butterfly- thanks for the encouragement! I actually mentioned it to hubby and he says I had IB with my other two- tell you the truth, I can't remember because there were also a lot of cycles where I read too much into the "early symptoms" which are so close to pms symptoms. I feel like when I did get my bfp's that I made a mental note that I really didn't have any obvious symptoms before the positive, and not to read into it next time...but here I am again! Oh well, time will tell. Still nothing red or on the tp.
Lassie- how are you feeling this am? Sore bb's still?
Hi ladies! Can I join in? I am 9 DPO today and sadly no IB yet. I had IB with my first so I am just assuming I will get it the next time I get preggo. I have been having cramps for a few days on and off. I tested yesterday morning because...well I guess I really just wanted a reason, lol. BFN of course. I am going to try not to test again until Monday.
I have tons of IC OPKs and HPTs so I suppose I should put those babies to work. I am also 31 so I hope that statistic is wrong. I also have sore bbs on the side but they arent really painful. They werent with my first either but they dont usually get sore before AF so that could be a positive sign? Baby dust to everyone!
I did read that caffeine, even that in chocolate does effect implantation. Can you drink decaff for now?Quote:

Fish- that made me laugh out loud! Yay 1981 babes! (and for the record I had never felt old until I read that article!)
I have tender breasts today, that is my sign that PMS is starting. I think I will faint if I get a BFP this month.

good luck to all those with and yeahy for over anaylising fun!!
