So, I am 7dpo today, and I feel MASSIVELY emotional and a little depressive. I cried in the shower for a bit this morning thinking it wasn't going to be my month, again. Is that weird? I know I usually get emotional, but I can't tell what is going on with me. Maybe I'm actually getting depressive because of this ttc marathon.
And I was thinking about your DD, TTC5.....hope she is ok and her boo-boo is no big deal.
I know, Lola ... I'm worried about 5's LO too. I hope she updates soon.
Lots of cause for concern on our lil' thread, huh? :fingers: for Daisy and Alexis with the scares. And Daisy, congrats on getting the BFP ... hope all is a-ok, please KUP!
Alexis check in after your appt today!
Tink way to just hop on the TTC train! If you do get pg September odds are you won't even be showing or need Spanx in October ... you'd just lose the ability to booze it up :bigsmile:
Flava how're you feelin' this am love? Hope it is better.
And Miss Lola ... :hugs: I am going to keep all my fingers crossed (well, when I'm not typing or driving or things that require fingers) that your depressy, super emotional state is due to surging pregnancy hormones. Because I'm an optimist like that. Even still I'm sorry you're feeling that way, no matter the reason it still sucks to be in that mood. Here's hoping something fab and unexpectedly wonderful happens to you today to lift your spirits :bighug:
Jen I seriously just wait for you to post so I can check your scan ticker :bigsmile: It is going to be so fun when it gets to the single digits! At least we can say now that the big scan is THIS MONTH!
September. Crazy that it's here already. I love fall but it is still so frickin' hot that it might as well be July :rolleyes:
Thank you, B! You ladies always make me feel better. I would love for something awesome to happen today too! Actually, it would be great if something amazing happens this weekend when I poas. I may do it tomorrow morning at 8dpo, just for shits and giggles. What state do you live in that is so hot still? It is starting to cool off a tiny bit, will be only 90 here today, LOL (I'm in South Carolina).
Oh, Flava....forgot to add that I think it's ok to ttc if it's just allergies. I really think it's ok overall, unless you are barfing and not eating and the like. Ya know, just take the robitussin/mucinex and go as planned. I hope you do feel better soon, though!
Lola I'm deep in the heart (heat?!?) of Texas where it'll be a brisk, fall-like 107 today. The 5 months of summer here drive me nuts! I love the people, would hate to leave my friends here, but I'd move in a heartbeat. DH and I thought about it seriously this spring but it would be so difficult to move/re-establish his business that we'll be here for the long haul.
OOOH! That's what I should get when I win the baby bet and we have a boy! A summer home in Colorado :rofl:
Yes the 8DPO bfp is rare, but not impossible! Might as well get the POAS party started for the weekend :bluecheer: C'mon BFP!
I can't get the quote thing to work but Flava, ITA with Lola re: sickness!
B, I didn't know you were in TX! I was B&R in Houston, and my family is still there and in Austin. It is hotter than a mother there today, I saw that on the weather this morning. I'm telling ya, going north is MONEY. It seems to be getting hotter and hotter earlier in the year and much longer. I don't know about you guys, but I think global warming is kicking into high gear, and I am a cold lover and heat hater.
Wow, so much going on!!!
Alexis: I had 1 day of red bleeding and a couple days of spotting with DD#2....it ended up that I was m/c her twin.
Daisy: I am soooo excited for you!!! I hope all is well at you appt.
Lola: I'm pulling for you. I'll be looking for your + test this weekend.
I had an old friend come over yesterday and she had big news. They had been TTCing for 5 years with no results and she had screwy cycles. They tried everything, but IVF. Well, she changed her diet by eating "green smoothies"....they are spinach, kale (all kinds of greens...all raw) and then berries and bananas....it ends up being lots of veggies and fruit servings and super good for you. Anyway....3 months of having them for breakfast and and with meals.....she skipped her period, but she thought it was "the change" because she is 42....nope BFP!!! I am so happy for them, but she is a little freaked out because they kind of got over the idea of another baby years ago and changed the swing of their life. She is a nurse for heart surgeries, and is having issues with blood. So, don't give up ladies....your dream baby is out there.
Oh, iluv: We believe in celebrating all of our children and not just the first. I have not had a shower with all the kids, but I may go out with my close friends and fam for tea or something....anything special.
Hey ladies!!!
Oh yeah I can't wait for Lola to POAS!!!!! Reeeeeeeeeeeeeally hoping for a BFP here!
Me I feel a lot better today no sore throat and my eyes don't burn so much at all BUT I have a little runny nose now. Not much and all clear but yeah Im not happy. I may just go next cycle...:sad:
And the thing is Sept. or not it's dam hot here! But it will be in Oct. too so I guess it don't matter . And it's not fall yet first day of fall is Sept. 23.
Oh and my temp today is 92.40 and stupid FF don't let me put it in! WTH? it says
"your entry of 92.40 does not seem right. " so what? That's my temp and a stupid computer should put it whatever I type.ughh
Wow, WP, that is a great and very encouraging story! Makes me particularly excited because I have been having a green blend drink daily for months now and also been taking spirulina. The greens and nutrients from F/V are supposed to really do wonders for people's FSH levels. I don't have the FSH issues, but clearly there is something else.
Speaking of that, if I don't get pg this cycle, and if I don't give up, DH is getting his sperm tested, period. He is not against it or anything, I just haven't felt like it was necessary, but with 2 months of Clomid AND perfectly-timed BD (and after months of crazy healthy supps), there is no reason why I shouldn't be getting pg if all of my tests are coming back spotless. Maybe I just want to find something to blame. I know I shouldn't jump to conclusions, though!
WP- that's so great for your friend!!!!( I jumped up at eat an apple now lol)
About the baby shower I never had one and I never even been to one . No1 ever give me nothing so I really don't understand ppl who whine about it...like I remember back on IG when I read post about baby showers like "oh what do you this is this rude??" posts because ppl had a register and she did not get exactly what on her list was....I was thinking OMG WTH?? Why is she not happy she got presents , help ect? I just don't get it they should be thankful .I would be so happy!
Well that's what I think .
YAY! So glad you are feeling better! That is a really low temp....maybe FF thinks you are dead, LOL.Quote:

I went on IG just to see and it's working like a charm:suprise:
G2g pick up DD3 I see they are outside on the playground. She must be happy because like that but they can only use it when it's cloudy because it's so hot they can't go on the sun. (there is a screened porch where they play normally all in shade) yeah gotta love fl...
Lunch is tuna salad today for me lol.
Hey girls...I haven't had my appt yet but I just wanted to let you know my hpt was negative today. My bleeding is heavy with clots. My cramps are worse with sharp pains on my left side.
Lola-I'm taking in all of my hpt's to show the doctor if he doesn't believe me lol. I'm demanding bloodwork, an u/s, and my Rhogam shot. I'll update after my appt this afternoon. Thanks for being so supportive ladies!
Lola my love- you and dh are suped to your eyeballs and you're full of clomid it'll definitely happen. I would say don't test tomorrow, it's an almost guaranteed bfn and you don't need any more of those. Give your emotions a break and wait till 10dpo :kiss:
B- we almost moved to Texas earlier this year but dh's company decided they needed him here more. I was kinda bummed, we would love to move away from dh's family but he loves his job so they would have to move us.
Alexis- Big hug hun, I'll be waiting for your update.
Besides the cabin fever dd3 is back to her sweet crazy self, it's amazing what 24 hrs on antibiotics can do. I'm considering letting her run with the neighborhood kids a bit today, she's been so sad sitting here with me while her sisters are out playing. So rough being sick when your 4 lol
Oh Alexis, I am so sorry. :( Big hugs for you.
Lola, I am very excited for you! I think your symptoms sound very promising!
WP--cool story about your friend!
For me, I feel a lot better today. My initial beta yesterday was 571 so we will see how it looks on Friday. For any symptoms watchers, my boobs were super sore (that never happens to me) and I was pissed off for two weeks, lol! Seriously I was uber bitch America, every little thing made me mad and my mom and my friend both said, hormones! It's funny because with dd my first symptoms were crazy dreams and I would cry over happy things in movies, that never used to happen to me. I did cry last weekend over a kid's essay about his great grandma but that kind of thing has happened to me more often since dd so I didn't think too much of it. Oh, and this time we went out to eat this twice weekend and the food just didn't taste right. It was places I like, orders I'd had before, and it happened twice so I was pretty sure something was going on but I didn't want to say it for sure.
I had this superstition that I wouldn't test until today (9/1) because I know three people with birthdays today and they're all boys. And DH was like, just test now (when I was having cramps) and I was like but I only know girls with birthdays today! lol So I looked up famous birthdays for 8/31 and it was like all boys so I felt better. But I think I would really be happy with either gender, I really wanted one dd and I got her so it's all good. DH says we are having two kids no matter what because he doesn't want more so I'm like, well I better try to enjoy this pregnancy then. I just hope I continue to get good news. I wanted to kind of keep it secret but I had to leave work yesterday unexpectedly for a blood draw and then I came back with this huge things on my arm. Seriously, if my family ever loses our home in a flood we could use that bandage for a temporary shelter. Frigging ridiculous. So EVERYBODY was asking and I suck at lying. I might as well have had a t-shirt that said "knocked up." Oh well, yes it's more people who know if things go wrong but it's also more people who can think happy thoughts and pray for us now.
Daisy- so glad you're doing better today! I hate how weepy I've become, I'm not usually much of a cryer but I cry at everything these days.
OH NO BUMMER, Alexis...I am SOOOO sorry, hun. I hope you are doing ok. I know you've had one before and don't need to hear me say this, but you know how common it is and you can try again right away. My heart just breaks whenever anyone gets all excited and then has to be let down like this. ): We are here for you if you need to vent. BIG BIG BIG HUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!Quote:

3pink- so nice DD is all better!!
daisy- you need a prego sticker here!
Hi ladies! Not much time but oh, Alexis ... HUGS! Big ones. I am so sorry to hear your news, it wasn't at all what I was expecting to hear. Let us know what the doc says. Hope you're doing OK. I'm just so sorry to hear it.
Daisy I'm glad to hear things seem to be going a-ok for you though! Keep us posted. How many weeks does this make you?
Lola I'd love to move North, I am MUCH more into cold (even the muck of snow) than I am heat. But oh well, there are worse things in life than sweating! Fun that you're a TX girl though! If it wasn't so hot (and in fairness this is the hottest summer we've had in 30 years) I'd like it a whole lot better.
Jen LOL about wanting to move to get away from the fam! But having read what you've written about them all it makes total sense, they are pretty horrid people to have to be around.
Flava so you're for sure waiting til October now? Wish I could help with FF but I don't use it so clearly can't help!
Have to go get DD1 from kindy, BBL!
Big Hugs Alexis....so sorry hun...it feels devastating....i know
Congrats Daisy!!! Hopefully we will have much more bfps following...
Begonia, i would love to change places with you....i live in cold MN and prefer the heat to the long winters here.....life is sometimes funny.
Lola if you can wait for 10dpo....FX for u dear.
Yes if not this cycle i am back to medicated ones with my RE next month.
Flava hope u get better soon. its only cycle day 4....so no worry.
Daisy, glad your pains have eased up and all is ok! Congrats again!!! Excited to hear how your betas go tomorrow. Hearing you are bitchy and weepy in the 2ww makes me feel optimistic, because MAN ON MAN have I been this time. Anyway, I hope you are feeling well, and yes, get a ticker!!!
Cemas, I would love to see you get on some meds. Sorry I keep preaching that to you. I just know how long you've been doing this along with me. xxoo
Flava, that is weird about FF....I'm sure there is a way to adjust the calendar, although I've never had to do that. I am so glad you are giving it a go this month!
Begonia, I am with you on the snow. People from up north laugh at me when I tell them I'm moving to Chicago someday, but having grown up in Houston and New Orleans for the most part, I would welcome a change, even if it means ridiculous frigid weather and driving snow and wind. It would be like a new adventure! Part of me wants to move back to New Orleans, though, which is worse than TX because of the hellish humidity.
Zan, you are welcome to gate crash any time!!!! xxoo
And you guys are right, I know I'm heading for disappointment testing at 8dpo. I'm a hot mess lately, and can't decide whether I want to or not. If I do, I will heed everyone's caution about the probable bfn. Thanks, ladies!
Thanks ladies! I'm techno-dumb though, where do I get a ticker?
Look at the bottom of tickers you like on here....many are from either pregnology.com (that is my fave), or lilypie.com or tickerfactory.com. You make it, then you copy and paste the code for the ticker (there are usually pretty easy instructions) onto your siggie here.Quote:

iluv: I meant tell you....I agree with you about the foodstamps. We have never partcipated in any govt programs and don't plan on starting. The less I get from them the better. I am not sure why my parents have the money= children additude. My parents have lots of "toys" to make them happy and our children make us happy. Don't get me wrong, they love the kids and family, but Dad came from a "put everything in savings" family....and we have no or little savings. We have no regrets....dad wishes he was around more when we were kids. But my brothers are all renting, own nothing, and have no money.....go harass them :) They just want the best I guess.
Well doc confirmed the miscarriage. DH took off work to go with me. I don't think I would have been able to keep my composure if he wasn't there. I did really good and didn't cry.
Did an u/s and saw absolutely nothing ( I didn't know that Mr. Wandy looks like a penis lol!). I was worried about it being ectopic as I was having severe pains on my left side. Nothing in there either. That's good. My cervix has already closed so he said it looks like the miscarriage is completed.
Soooo....he recommended waiting 2 cycles. I said inwas hoping to jump right back in and he said try to wait at least one cycle. Have any opinions on this ladies? He also recommended taking a baby aspirin everyday.
So no more boy diet for me, except maybe lemon water. I still may take my supps since I have enough for another month or so. Maybe I will be extra fertile now. One of my friends had a chemical in Feb and got pregnant with a boy in
march.
so sorry alexis:LotsofLove:
my doctor said that it was fine for me to try straight away because it was an early chemical.i wanted to wait a cycle though because i read that it can sway girl after.plus its given me time to get in the right frame of mind,i know its a pain to have to keep waiting but its gone by so soon and my next try is in 3 weeks! hope you feel better soon,we are all here for you x
So sorry Alexis :(
OMG , so sorry Alexis :( big hugss
one of my frd just told me she is 5 months preg after reoccurring m/cs for almost 2 years , she didnt find out yet.
Lola ... dont worry honey , hope its ur month :)
i always try to b with u guys but every thread goes sooo fast :(
