TTC Girl - January 2012

i have a doppler too,, its an ebay cheapie, babysoundsB ,was less than $30, but works really well, and has picked up bubs from about 10-11 weeks.

I just ordered the same exact one. Hearing all you ladies talk about hearing the heartbeat at 10 weeks made me want one too.

i actually have a little portable ipod speaker i plug into mine.
better than the earphones, they can deafen you if you get a kick.....high staticy, crackly noises, not good for your ears at high volume...lol

Negative, but I could very well only be 9 or 10dpo!

BFN here too, but only 7dpo so was expecting it!

felt nice to POAS, though

Just woundering for my next attempt would it be a good idea to get the smile opk test?? Are they better then the line tests ?

[Mochagirl]

pink - I'd definitely get the smilie tests if I were you. They're expensive, but they leave no room for guesswork, which I like. What I did was use cheaper ones until they started to get darker, then switched to smilies. I still took ics in the evening as well just to make sure I didn't miss my surge, but the digi in early afternoon was my main test.

Hey pinkin, I bought my clearblue OPK from OKMe.com.au (online pharmacy). They were $44.95 for 7 tests. I bought a few other things at the same time, so it ended up being free postage. I think they are at least $70 if you go into a pharmacy here. I also use the other type to check to see when it starts getting darker before using the clearblue ones. I only got to use 2 last time, so I have plenty left that I can use in February. I do prefer them as there is no doubting when you get your surge, and then you don't keep doing them after that. Just BD and check your BBT until you confirm you did O.

Suregena and Rainbow, I am your official cheerleader now! I'm pretty sure I'm out (just waiting on AF now after BFN and temp drop) so I think you're my only hope! I'm sending you both all the BFP dust I can muster. We need SOMEONE from this thread to get a BFP this round and I've got my fingers and toes crossed for both of you!

Hi. We came home from the hospital last night. ds (newly 3) had no fever (had been 103 and above since last Sat) for first time last night. Yay!! I literally have not slept since last Saturday. The nurses and doctors were in our room every hour to monitor fevers and symptoms. I assume my body was probably feeling stress from it all but I brought all my lavender products and ion bracelets and just tried to stay calm. The diet was maybe a little altered due to limited options but basically chose to eat nothing or one helping of pure junk food.

If pg this will be my 5th child and my 8th pregnancy. I'm pretty good knowing the signs. Each one has had some similarities and sometimes a couple have been different but I still knew right away. I think I might be pg again. My breasts kill but I've had pregnancies with no breast pain too. The one constant commonality are the pronounced glands on nipples and this one vein I call my pg vein that immediately bulges across my areola. The other symptom that is immediate is my super human sense of smell. I can smell a dirty diaper from across the house! Yucky example but you guys know what I mean. Only time will tell me for sure but I'll be more surprised by a BFN than a BFP. I am coming off a chemical pg and all the same signs are here. If I am pg there is no guarantee it means I'll have a baby this year but with all of my praying ( and swaying) it sure would be a major blessing (especially a dd)!! Stay tuned
