May 2018 TTC & 2ww thread

I usually just blurt it out too, which I will probably end up doing if I actually wait for father’s day. I think he might be upset if I kept it secret that long lol! I like the mirror idea! We did the shirt idea last time for telling family. I’ve seen those cups and they are really cute! But he doesn’t drink much coffee/tea anymore. I’m going to search Pinterest since it’s a bit darker today so I guess it must be real lol!!

Cassidy - I remember one of the ladies on here awhile back wrote "Hi Dad!" with marker on her belly and then I think when she got into bed one night told to DH to lift up her shirt or something! I thought that was cute.

Kiku - YAY!!!!!! There is something satisfying about seeing it on a digital. So happy for you!!!!!!

HG - are you using the advanced CB digital OPKs? I'm guessing so as the regulars don't flash. Did you start those this morning? Flashing means "high fertility" - it means it's picking up estrogen but NOT LH yet - so it's still considered a negative OPK. I always have 4-5 days of flashing before I get a solid, but, some people only get one or two. This being your first month using it we have no idea how many more days you'll get the flashing before solid. I would hold off if your wondfo is not yet positive since you know you normally get a positive on those and from what you said it's not quite there yet. You may end up with a solid smiley on the CB digital tomorrow. And don't worry about bleeding thing on the test strip - mine always do that. As far as big O, a lot of ladies on here have gotten girls with big O so I wouldn't stress too much over that if it helps DH out. If you really need lube just maybe use a small amount of a "non-sperm friendly" one (basically, just not Preseed). I think atomic has even OK'd using a very small amount of Preseed if you really, really need it.

OMG ABC THAT'S AMAZING!!!!

Not to freak you out, but you know what I'm thinking now...!

ABC! HOLY MACKEREL!! When do you get your second draw? Will they do a scan?

Thanks PBN, I'll definitely join my ddg, but for some reason I've been in denial it's real?? The first trimester is such a mind game, which I had forgotten about.

Cassidy, definitely darker!! Easily see it now!

That is a really cute idea ABC!

Fabulous result ABC!!! Your first scan is going to have us all on the edge of our seats [emoji23][emoji130]

Hgmama that's getting close on the wondfo but if you usually get a blazing pos I'd hold off until solid smiley/first (not necessarily blazing) pos opk. I also wouldn't risk any more attempts now as perhaps if you hold off a couple days it may make dh release easier plus I too would also use a small amount of preseed. Lube will not make or break your sway and if it's going to help get a viable attempt in then use it. Another idea as well is maybe try to mix it up a bit at the beginning? Perhaps some hand or mouth stimulation for hubby to really get him going? Hope I'm not being too blunt and embarrassing anyone [emoji85] but this is too important for niceties [emoji12]

Emshe how are things with you? Hiw are the opks looking? Really hoping clomid will bring o a little forward this cycle. It's felt like forever since your last 2ww!!! So keen to see you there again!!
