August Thread for TTC Blue - Chit Chat!

[LolaInLove]

Thanks ladies for the advice. If I can get to the store, I will test again on Monday if no AF. Seems so weird that you guys are getting BFP on 8-10dpo and I am 11dpo and nothing....kind of makes me think I am out for the month. I was using FRER, too.

I am so sorry ams. You sound like you are taking so well. I had to have that done with mc #3. Get lots of rest.

WP, with my girls, I barely got a visible line....like I had to get a 2nd opinion, at about 14dpo, with FRERs! But I got the last 2 at 10dpo....maybe since my body is older it implants sooner, who knows. But don't worry, if you scan FF charts like I do because I am a huge nerd, you will see that bfp day ranges very widely, with the majority of them around 12dpo. Of course, that may be due to many women waiting to test, but still. Just hang tight and test again!!!

HI Ladies! first off! CONGRATS SKRIMPY!!! So happy for you! XOXOOXOXOXo Love getting on here and hearing about BFP's!

I o's 2 days early this months..but i am thinking is might supps and diet, but who knows. Thank god I can feel when it's happening so I took a smiley and Bam there it was!

Anyway. I started dreaming about being pregnant so I know I am ready! Last time I started dreaming about pregnancy I was pregnant with DD 3 months later. I even drempt of DD's face. She came out looking exactly as she did in my dreams. The other night I drempt of a an 8lb baby boy, he was so beautiful. Last night i drempt i was nursing my baby (gender unknown)

Anyways, I have been out of town my best freinds mom passed away. Its been aweful, my heart hearts. I miss her. Its just so sad. She had cancer Diagnosed in March passed July 25th. SO fast and so young. I came home from service and have sick ever since.

What else have I missed!!

B- it'll just be another peek at 16 wks, though I'd have them write it down if they offer to take a look. My BFF will be with me but I don't think she'll be able to contain her reaction either way and I fear I'd badger the crap out of her till she spilled it lol I'd rather wait till the big one at 20 wks, dh will be with me so we can find out together. I agree, I don't want to hear it on a table in front of a stranger again, they look at you like you are such an asshole if you're not completely excited with what they say.

AMS- so sorry Hun, big, big hug. After my d&c in Oct I was told to wait 2-3 months so taking a bit of time off to heal (physically and emotionally) is always a good thing. Lola is the queen of healthy egg info so wait for that pm.

B3blue- my Dh was terrified to ttc again, he was so happy with his 3 little girls, but I'll admit I harassed lol Willingly scarfing sups and talking about it is a good sign. I'm sure once Oct rolls around he'll be anxious to give it a go lol

Wp- tink was crazy late 30ish days if I remember right before she got her bfp w/dd1. I had a stone - bfn at 10dpo and a light + at 12 dpo, this time I didn't test till 12 dpo (with a frer) and it was light but definitely there. Don't give up yet, it's not over till the red bitch arrives lol

Tink- woohoo for baby dreams! Sorry about your friends mom it's so hard but yet such a blessing when it happens that fast. Fx for quick bfp.

YAYYYYYY 3pnb, what a cutie pie!!!! Oh, honey, I am so happy for you! Now we just gotta wait 7 more weeks for a hopefully more revealing pic...you are finding out, right?

WP, I am sorry hun. I know it sucks big time to get bfns. Did you use opks? You may have O'ed later. Are you nursing still? That can throw you off with your cycles also, as you probably know. I'd love to peek at your chart. To link it, you go to the toolbar menu on the top right where it says "share" and then you copy and paste the url link onto your siggy here. There is one that says for web pages, and one for boards, so try the boards one first. I think that is the one that works for me.

Heather, ITA with Begonia, that is a good ph and don't feel bad....I may be the only one who has never tested my DH's semen. I did test our "mixture" once, but it's kinda par for the course with blue swayers! Testing your cm is hard. Honestly, the best way to do it, and this is totally ewwwww, is to either wait till you poo, because the force usually makes some come out too, or you can put in instead cup up there and see if it collects any. That didn't work well for me, but I just did it the first way a few times. I never got too crazy about my cm ph, because I knew I'd be adding preseed or ew, and a bsf also, which would all raise it at the most important time. However, I did test my pee a lot to see if my general body ph was changing with the diet, which it did. Others might have some better cm testing advice, but the poop method was the only way I could get a "sample" that was enough to really test. Your vag walls are acidic, so you can't just stick it up there, you will get an inaccurate reading.

Kris, how are you feeling? Do you have a scan appt scheduled in the next couple of weeks?

As for me, I had a nice dip today (7dpo), so FX it's an implant dip. I can't believe I'm temping again, because it gets me kind of obsessive, but oh well, it's informative. I woke up in the middle of the night and was manhandling my boobs, because I was asleep on my stomach and they didn't hurt anymore, so I got all worried and upset and couldn't sleep for an hour because of it. But then I had a good temp, so hey, I feel better now. I think I am going to test on Sunday at 9dpo, I just cannot help myself. They say you will get a + 2 days after implantation, so we'll see.

Hi Lola, My scan isn't until the 19th. It's coming around fast but not fast enough! We're so excited about it
FX on your temp dip!!

Hi all, just an update from me. We lost bub and had d and c yesterday. All ok though we r youngish and I have 3 fantastic girls. You what they say sometimes you need to lose something in order to appreciate it more!

Mr dr was happy for me to try again as he said I am a pretty low risk factor of it happening again but think we will hold iffy till dec Jan and have some me time and fun with the girls!

Goodluck to the rest of you and in the nicest possible way, I hope I don't see u on here when I come back in dec!!!


Take care and blue dust to u all!

Aww no, I'm so sorry ams ((hugs))

Ams sorry for your loss. Well,I'm 11dpo,still no symptoms,I said to myself I would wait to see if af comes(4days)until I test but today I've got the biggest urge to test,I'm really trying not to get my hopes up cos it's a bigger letdown when you get the negative test,i find it's easier to not know at all! Am I the only one who thinks like this or should I just test and get it over?11dpo may still be too early yet though ....aaarrrggghhh!

[hope.ful]

Ams, I'm sorry you had to go throught the mc and d&c. **Hugs**
Tink, sorry about your friend's mom.
You will both be in my prayers.
WP, sorry you got a bfn. I will watch for an update from you!!

We are trying to stay cool; not easy to do in August in SW MO!!
Take care, Ladies!!

Jane, that's a tough call. Lots of us can't wait that long....I know I can't! A large percentage will get a bfp by 11dpo. I would say test if you want to. If you do tomorrow at 12dpo, and use a FRER, I would say it's not too early. But, I hate seeing the stark white tests, so I understand the desire to wait.

[3Pink1Blue]

Jane- I usually tested early to put myself out of my misery but it only made me more insane thinking it had to be wrong maybe tomorrow. I don't think there's any way to protect yourself from ttc torments lol
