Tonight, I'm having big cramps to the right side and a lower dull back ache.. been going for an hour now..
Babydes I have chills, I am SO SO SO thrilled for you!!!!!! Congratulations! You have worked so hard for this and I am so glad to see you get the well earned BFP :-) Made my whole day!!!
Well ladies as I lay there in bed last night all feverish and such I thought exactly what Baby, Lola and Bec mentioned, if I did get a BFP and it was a girl, would I forever be wishing I'd waited? Probably.
BUT then I woke up this morning and I feel a-ok. AND I took an OPK last night and am starting to fade in, and had gross amount of EWCM this morning. Which makes me super nervous that I am going to O early, b/c DH and I DTD unprotected on Tuesday (thinking I still had a week before O) ... and now I could possibly O early, and those swimmers from Tues could still be there. AND I jumped and dumped after. So between that and being sick I am rockin' a stellar girl sway here. This is definitely where I use the F word, Tink.
At this point I'm just going to keep POAS to try to find my surge. Depending on when it comes I'll figure out my plan from there. If we hadn't DTD unprotected on Tues I'd skip this month for sure, but now I'm worried I could get pg from those swimmers anyway, so I'm thinking I should DTD again on O day. AAAAAAAAAARRRGH.
This sucks.
Begonia,thanks hun! I am over the moon, it still hasnt registered though. I'd say go for it again if you b'ded on Tue because if you dont you could get preg from the old spermies & that would be perfect girl timing. See how you feel but i would do as i suggested.
AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! I am SOOOOOO happy and excited for you!!!! I saw your FB post on my phone on commute in and almost cried! OMG OMG OMG!!!! I knew this amazing day would come for you, L!!!!!!!!

TTC5, PLEASE try not to read too much into your symptoms, just take care of yourself and relax, best thing for you if you have a little bean trying to make it's way into existence! I think your chart looks great, btw.
Begonia, I would TOTALLY do a full attempt with all bells and whistles when you get a +opk if you feel fine now, especially if you feel like your last bd is within 4 days of O. Maybe you are all sorts of healthy from the boy diet and kicked that virus to the curb. And actually, that would be a perfect span, too....so your sway isn't messed up at all!
Bec, glad that opk explanation helped. It took me months to really figure it all out. Once you get all of the O watch methods to sync and you know what is happening, it makes everything so much easier. I don't agree with timing being a huge factor, but ya know, if you CAN time it well, it never hurts and does make you feel like you did everything well.
Tink, just post in that thread and I'll put a couple up again also! It's kinda nice not outright saying "photos" so no icky non-GD people can go straight there.
Thank you Lola, of all the ladies on here you've known my journey & i know you are pleased for me which i really appreciate. I seriously didnt see this coming, i'm already wondering if it's boy or girl.. & after the congratulations from my eldest daughter & best friend the next thing they both said "i hope it's a boy" & i said that i'm just pleased i'm preg & if it turns out to be another girl then that's God's plan for me & still a blessing
Yes, I'd like to think I've been here "with" you for a while now! What an awesome surprise.....I am so thankful you didn't give up....you know your perseverance is what got you here, girl. I'm inspired by you and hope I am as lucky soon! And I like your attitude about the gender. It's funny how ttc so long can turn your mind around from being completely obsessed with making a boy to just making a healthy baby. Sometimes I think that may be a blessing for me, as I am a bit of a control freak. And you never know, that may be a baby boy in there! But either way, I am just hoping and praying it's a healthy little baby!
