bluebird--how r u?? what was ur lo?? boy?? girl??

hope all is well!!!! :0)

YAY!!! Congrats blue!!! I pray ur pregnancy is a healthy n happy one!!! :)

I'm doing good! waiting til April 8th to see if I've conceived!! I've been treating my hormonal balance for over a month so hope it helped n this is it!!

how far along r u?

Hey mamadukes!!! Nice to hear from u :-). I'm doing good, after three tough months of trying I got a bfp about a week ago. Am v nervous and still can't believe it's true but am trying to stay positive. How r u going?

Hi bluebird!!!! How r u??? Hows ttc treating ya??? Hope all is well :)

how is everything goin bluebird???

Sorry bout your af amber. I tried sooo hard too :-(. Guess it's just one of those things where it's just not all about effort and to a large degree it's out of our control. Goodluck next month.

Blue my af is here too...ugh I tried so hard last cycle im on cycle day 2 gonna add preseed with my opks this month

So, after convincing myself right after ovulation that I was preg and genuinely feeling symptoms for the first week of tww and testing obsessively I finally have my answer...af :-(. Very disappointed and sad but have surrendered to the fact that the baby I will eventually have just isnt quite ready to come yet.

Am going to take a little break from ttc, just to get my sanity back!!

Goodluck to all and loads of sticky baby dust :-)

My AF was due yesterday (Wednesday) I made an appointment today and it's on 1/30. I also have one with my hematologist (I have a blood clot disorder) on Monday where I am sure they'll check my levels. What about you? Have you tested? When's AF due?

All bfn and spotting sometimes..boo!!!

Omg!!! That's fantastic!!! Soooo happy for u. I'm so excited to keep in touch and watch ur belly grow!!! U r so good to have waited til when u did...is your af due today or tomoz? Yay yay yay!! When will u have an appointment with doctor?

Hi bluebird! I tested this afternoon and got a BFP!!!! 13dpo!! Looks like your research is spot on!! I am excited and also a little scared!! Have you tested? Fx for you!!

Hey jenieshell, how r u going? Have my fingers and everything else crossed for u!!! U have done soooo well to wait to test!!

Hey amber, I have been driving myself crazy testing too!! Af still not due for 4days but each time I get a -ve result it def takes a toll on my hope & positivity!! But now I've started testing I feel like I have to keep going til I get bfp or af!! I'm only doing it once a day in the morning but even still is totally nuts!! If I do get a bfp it will be interesting to see on what day it shows up. I just read some stat today that said the average time to get bfp was 13.6dpo or .5 days before af. Are u still testing?

Welcome happymummy! Yay for positive opk, sorry ur dh is not around to get down to business, can't imagine how frustrating that must be!!! Hopefully he can be around next cycle. Goodluck!!

Amber yes really hoping it was IB!! It was probably too soon to get your positive!! I am trying hard not to get excited but it's hard not too. I'll be honest I will be pretty bummed if I am not!! Hubby keeps telling me not to get my hopes up. This tww is so hard!

Sounds like me jenie!! Hopefully ib!

Im already testing lol!! All negative of course..

Stupid auto correct! That was spotting not spitting!! Happymummy welcome!!

Good morning ladies! Sorry I've haven't updated in a few days! The tww is almost over and I am getting the urge to test. I am going to try to wait it out until Wednesday when my period is due. I had a little spitting on Friday morning. I was 9dpo. It was just a few drops and I've had nothing since. Praying that was IB! How is everyone this morning? Any symptoms?

Hi ladies I wanted to join this thread as I mc in Nov at 7 wks with my 1st, As much as I wanted to get a bfp straight away, I am now on cycle #2 and it seems I got a positive Opkt today, which is great. Except my husband works away and is not home for another 2 wks! It is the most frustrating thing knowing u r ovulating and u can't bd. Hopefully next month it will b the right time, I wish u all luck xx

Hey amber, could def be implantation spotting at that time of the month!! Fx!!! Frustrating, but only time will tell. I'm cd22 today and I'm prob gonna test tomoz even tho I know there is very little chance it will be pos, but the next day apparently there is a 62% chance that a line will show up if I'm preg. Fx. Let me know how u go. When r u testing?

Well im confused..im about 6dpo and af isnt due for a week and I'm having light pink spotting the last time I used the bathtoom..what is going on??!

Hey missnikki, gl ttc this month!!! I'm on cd22 now so more waiting for me...I know I'll test early but am trying to wait for a few more days at least :-). I used preseed this month, found it was quite good, but u never know til u get that bfp!!! Haven't tried smep, just tried to bd regularly. Gl and sticky baby dust!!

Hey mamadukes, sorry to hear u didn't get your bfp this month. Wishing u all the best for your future bfp, I'm sure it's not too far away at all!!! Take care.

Hi lila, glad to hear you've joined the ttc rodeo ;-). Gl and keep me updated!!

I'm on cd1 I'd love to join you all! I'm going to try preseed this month. I was gonna try smep but can't now cuz my bf is visiting home for 13 days... hopefully this is all of our months! 2012 is going to be z great year!

i hope u get ur bfp bluebird! im out yet again..so I'll b taking a break from this site to focus on other things..letting go n letting God. take care n gl!

thank you blue abd its better now and i think af is just bout through. well should be tomorrow. and then i can get back on the horse. lol! baby dust to you also.

Hey mamadukes, that's a really good way of thinking about it all, and very important to remember to surrender so that we don't go crazy :-)!!!

Hi amber, I've never had cramping myself but from what I've read it is a good sign. I'm only a few days past ov too...sooo long to wait!! Goodluck & keep us updated.

2 or 3dpo and im crampy?

Thanks sweetie! I'm hoping for that bfp but will accept it is its a bfn. God has a plan and I know He will allow me to get pregnant soon. :)

Oh wow mamadukes, not long now til u can test...v exciting!!! Loads n loads of babydust.

hey bluebird!! well af is due on the 13th so plan on testing the 14th! no early testing for me this time cuz i drive myself nuts! thanks girl! I'll b rootin' for as well! I'll keep u posted :)

That's showing a lot of self control jenie!!! Goodluck & let's keep in touch :-)

I am glad the spotting stopped. I am not testing until 18th when my period is due. At least I am going to try hold out that long! ;)

Yikes, post sent early.

Hey lilma, sorry to hear your cramps are so bad...it really sucks that af worse after mc!! Very happy bday for a weeks time!! And truckloads of baby dust for some successful bday bding!!! Sounds like a very auspicious time for u both.

Amber glad to hear u got your +ve opk....hope you've been getting busy :-). Re: testing, I have no self control so I will def start testing on the 15th, if not b4 ;-/

Hey jenieshell, fortunately I only had spotting for a few hours...still have no idea why?? Am pretty much on tww now also...my af due 22nd. Fx for us both!! When r u testing? I know I'll test too early, I just can't help myself!!

Hey mamadukes, got all my fingers and toes crossed for u...hopefully you'll get a bfp and pass ur good luck on to me!!! When is your af due and

when will u test?

Hey lilma

opks an cm/cp checks are what im doing. my cramps after mc during af are horrific though. my bday and hubby's bday are in a week and thats when im o ing i have a good feeling about this cycle.

good luck and telling the baby dust fairy to use a dump truck this time.

Good luck, when are you testing?

yay! glad u got ur +! im doing good. 7dpo n waiting to see whats happens this cycle. God willing we get good news!

Got a pretty dark line on opk this afternoon woohoo!

Hi bluebird! I noticed you posted about mid cycle spotting. Are you still spotting? Hope everything is ok.

I am on cd m18. 4dpo I think. Just waiting!! AF should arrive jan 18th. Hoping she doesn't show!!

Im cd17 and no positive opk yet...wth! Last cycle I o'd on the 17th so getting very antsy...but ive bd the last 6 out of 7 days haha!

Hey lilma, sounds like your af is back to normal which is always a good sign...sorry u didn't get a bfp this month, have u been trying again yet? I'm on cd15 today so trying to figure out if I've ovulated yet. Have u used opk's or temp charting?

Hi mamadukes, all going ok. Have been using the opk's which was confusing me a little cos it went lighter not darker at one point but seems to have gone quite dark yesterday and today so think I might have got a positive :-). Am still doing temps so will be interesting to see when I get a rise. Am feeling a bit nauseous and weird today so of course I'm taking that as a poss preg symptom...haha!! How r u going?

im on cd2 after mc in October also,3rd cycle. good luck ladies...

hows everything goin bluebird?

Hi Symberly-ann, my first af started out a bit brown, then was quite heavy and very red. Sounds like this could be your af. I'm not an expert but I would think that if it continued for a few days at least then if would def be your af. Are you still bleeding or did it stop?

Was first af dark brown/red ? I had alot of it today it ran down my leg and wondering if its af. Im 22 days after my mc and really want to try again. Was 10w baby stoped at 6 w . I have verry small cramps amost unnoticeable. Never have period cramps but the mc cramps about killed me. I was on vicoden. So what u think is af here

im still here bluebird! have u started using opks??

Yay af finally finished!! Going to start using the opk's today and see what happens. I've heard that you're supposed to do it at the same time everyday, is that right?

So so true! I think we're going to just relax and bd during ovulation window this cycle and see what happens.

Yeah, it is hard to know what to do jenieshell. Last time I fell preg first try just bding during fertile time but then I had a mc. It was also my first time being preg so at this stage I don't know if that was just a fluke or if I was just unlucky losing the baby? It's so easy to freak yourself out after having a mc.

I've been wondering the same thing bluebird. We conceived last time with BDing during my fertile window so i am thinking of just doing that again but at the same time don't want to miss my chance either!

Hey again mamadukes!! I thot u'd disappeared. Sorry to hear you didn't get your bfp last month...fx this is your month!! I've also bought some preseed but not sure whether I should use it or not? I'm not sure whether I should just let my body do it's thing or whether I should try and give it a hand and whether preseed is actually giving it a hand?

Yay...what a nice group of ttc buddies to have for this cycle!! It's so great to have people who have been thru similar things to talk to.

I really hope opk's aren't too stressful to use...why did u find them stressful amber?

Both of my af's since mc have def seemed more intense in both flow and pain. This 2nd one tho is better than first so am hoping they will continue to return to normal or better yet, that I will just get a bfp!!

So much more painful after my mc! I'm on cd 4 today.

I did have more cramps than usual but it wasn't too bad. I did notice from time to time I would get sharp pains in my ovaries. So Weird.

Are your af cycles painful? The first one for me was horrible this second one isnt much better! :(

hey bluebird!!! hope this is ur month!! U'll love the opks! im going to start using them again tomorrow to see when I o. i also bought preseed n will b using that this time..hoping i get my bfp! im on cd10 n ready!!! :) Good luck!!

cd6 for me, its my first af after mc on nov. 20 ! we're ttc this month, I hope we. all get bfp. :)!!!

Congrats on ur af!! CD10 for me and we r ttc this month! Its my first af after mmc n d&c on Nov 15. Not trying anything special..justbd every other day for awhile to hopefully get it in my window! Fx for all of us to get our bfps in Jan!!

Yes I will be trying again, last month I used opks for the first time and ill be using them again this month. Its so stressful and time consuming !

Thanks bluebird! Yes I was excited to get my first period! I felt kinda weird to be happy for it!! Yes we are ttc this month. My O window starts on new year's eve!! I think that's a great way to start the new year!! ;) Hoping we all get BFPs!!!

I'm at cd 1 after my d&c on nov. 23rd..started spotting late yesterday evening and this morning normal af.. I'm super excited..the last time I ttc, I ovulated around cd 21 and that was in october. So jan will be my first attempt to ttc since my miscarriage..

Hey amber & jenie!!

Wow amber, we are very close with our dates...I had my d & c on the 26th oct.

Congrats on getting your first af after mc jenie, it was such a relief for me, just knowing my body was getting back to normal. It was also very emotional tho.

Am excited to have some cycle buddies..are u both going to be ttc this month?

This is cd5 for me and it's my first cycle since I mc in November. I've never done the Opks or bbt not sure I am going to this cycle but would love a cycle buddy!

Cd2 well technically cd3 now its after midnight. This is also my second af after my miscarriage october 21st
