TTC Girl - January 2012

xokatietatie,
OMG, I read your post about having four kids and it is me to a T except I am working on a 5th. I know my mom will freak and not be supportive. Like you I and my DH take care of our children, so why should we be judged for having more than the normal 2.2 or whatever it is children. I too feel like no one can know we are even TTC. I joke about getting pregnant here at work and I get mixed views, mainly that I am insane for wanting more. If you and you DH can handle loving a big family, I say go for it!!! I am tired all the time as you probably are and one more will not add that much to the exhaustion LOL!!!

i was totally blown away when i got my BFP.
i hadnt even had a chance to start my sway, so i feel like i failed before i even started.

Yes, and I'll remind you all of our own, dear DoulaMama who was shocked and appalled by her surprise BFP...and look at her now, almost 25 weeks pregnant with her little girl...

The opk is actually positive its the same colour as control line.. i have never seen d/h so excited hes like a little kid, but could it be positive because its am

My ebay OPKs say not to use first morning urine as LH is synthesised in your body early in the morning. However, they say it won't show up until later in the day. And yours has obviously shown up in the morning, which makes me think it is a +OPK. I can just picture your DH! They are so easy-pleased aren't they! GL!!
I meant to say, the digital ones say it is ok to use FMU.

Mocha, def 2 lines! Congrats on your BFP!! I hope this is a trouble-free pregnancy for you and the sickness is just enough to reassure you and not get too severe.

ttcad, sylk is a naural lubricant made from kiwi fruit. It's pH is around 5, which is why it is supposed to sway girl. Most others seem to be more boy friendly, or kill all the sperm.

Hi everyone,

BFN

All afternoon I felt different and stressed. My ovaries are burning and I just did not know what was going on so I was afraid to test.
NOTHING, not even a little line.
I am devastated.

It sounds to me like all these families need to butt out. How opinionated and hurtful they sound. We are always more sensitive to things our family say, whether we like it or not.
Last night I watched a program about the journey sperm make in the female reproductive system (how appropriate!) and it reminded me just how miraculous it is that any of them survive to meet up with the egg in the first place. They literally have everything against them and by some amazing process and with a good deal of luck, one is the winner.

auroara, I don't know how you can see pychics! I may believe in the moon theory, but psychics scare me!!

Lemon, I'm so sorry. I know I already responded to you on the other thread... but I just had to say it again. I've been thinking about you all day, and my heart hurts for you. Will you try again this month?

[PeonyPrincess]

Oh lemon. I know you were so torn. Wanting to be pg, but worried about your sway. If you have a chance today on your vacation, please take a bit of time for yourself. You deserve a break.
