Just checking in...sounds like we may have some BFP in the next few weeks! That would be so exciting!!

Nothing much new here....just waiting for AF to end. Last cycle, DH and I bd'd every other day. I think we are going to take it easy this cycle - by the time I O'd, we were beat!! And....I think DH's "supply" was tapped out. So - I am just going to focus on finding out exactly when I O..and go crazy around then!!

I also made an app't with my OB to talk with her - I go on Tuesday. Even if she will do some preliminary bloodwork....I think I would feel better.

It's the wait for the results that will kill you. I felt great the day I went in to give blood...floating on thinking finally I will know what is going on with me...it would only be a couple of day she said...the Dr can look at them Wednesday she said...BULLPUCKY

Sorry...just had to vent...i'm calling the dr's office tomorrow!!!

sore bbs is great news ladies, hopefully it is the good news you have been waiting for!

i never get sore bbs are a PMS symptom, so if i get that, i'll be jumping up and down! i have been nauseous the past two mornings. not sick, but felt just uneasy and like butterflies, but more uncomfortable. i've gotten bloated once again too. and had just some mild cramping and pulling feelings.

trouble is, it could be pms (i am on CD18 now), it could be side effects of the antibiotics i am on for this sinus infection or it could be the signs of our 'miracle'!! i am hoping it is the latter! but who knows. it is 6 days past the IUI/ovulation). i don't want to get my hopes up. i've done it before and had them dashed. i am sure all of you can relate!

on another note- i get to visit the mouse again in january! and this time for work, all expenses paid. and guess what hotel just happened to be on the show approved list? Animal Kingdom lodge! with a cheap rate too (like $175), plus i have access to special convention tickets (after 2pm/4pm special tickets for the parks with discounted rates!). i plan to fly in early and hopefully meet up with my 2 old WDW college program roomies that still live and work there (our program was 10 years ago, 96). One works at Epcot (with a semi acting gig) and one does disney weddings. so i get to stay at the AK lodge on the company. never stayed at a deluxe before, so can't beat that! might fly my mom or DH out to join me and just enjoy the free room (for them!).

Today I am on cd25, 6dpo, and I have 33 day or so cycles.

My bbs are SORE today! What does this mean so early? AF is due next week, but is it to early for pregnancy symptoms?
My bbs used to get very very sore before my period before my m/c, but my last 2 periods since then they haven't really.
Any thoughts?

I think my bb's got sore the minute after conception for me. They got worse and worse over time, too - so bad I couldn't let the water hit them in the shower. I get sore bb's during PMS, too, but they aren't excruciating like when I was PG, and they don't get progressively worse.

I really have no idea why my bbs hurt so bad so early. Since I had a m/c 3 months ago, my body does strange things and there is no "normal" for me anymore, that's why this is really difficult to figure out.
Since my m/c, I feel pain on my side that I am O'ing on, and my nipples get very sore when I O for a few days. I never, ever knew before when I was O or felt anything.
The past 2 periods, I haven't really had any breast tenderness, which is why I might be pregnant, but I really think it is too soon to feel that. Last time I was, I felt it around cd31, and it was severe pain, and it hurt having water hit them in the shower too. I also think I O'd much earlier than this time. These are just tender and sore.
I am completely fine if I'm not pregnant. Oh well, guess I will just have to wait it out and see. Uggghhh!

I have to admit this was true of me as well. About 1 week prior to AF showing up, I'd have slightly sore bbs. Then the day AF would hit, they'd stop hurting. So it was always a slow gradual pain and then would go away. Looking back now, my bbs were killing me about 4 days after conception. Everything was hurting like mad. It has never been that bad before in my life. So I can't say it was too early for you to feel it either.

Kellyf, good luck at the doc. I hope that something will work out for you. Taking a month off and not thinking about it is a good idea. My doc suggested to stop charting since that was putting undue stress on me (we knew how regular I was) and to have fun. I sort of listened, but it wasn't until the month I totally gave up that we got pg... only bd about 4 times that month (which is lower than average for us even not trying to have a kid)

Michelle, that is awesome about the trip!! I also hope you will be feeling better soon!

I got my estimated payment from my doc on how much she thinks I will owe for delivery... $190 total. Not bad IMO

 

[kimntrent]

The last two months I have had sore bbs from O to AF and then the day of AF they just stop hurting. Before that I would get it like 3 days before AF and that was it. But when I concieved back in May I had sore bbs from O to the day I m/c and then they stopped. But Yesterday I got my line on Fertility Friend and I have had horribly sore bbs for two days now. Sore to touch sore to even look at and they itch like you wouldn't believe. I guess only time will tell.

My bbs are usually sore right before af, but the pain became so much worse when I found out I was pg. I had a sharp pain running up to my nipple and I though....what is wrong with me? Then the next day I took the hpt and it was positive. Now my bbs hurt so bad.....my left more so than the right. I go for my 1st ob appt on Monday...but it is the "financial appt" and will go for a real appt at 9 weeks. I am so nauseous today and for the last week I have had extreme gas/gas pains from whatever I eat. I hope this goes away soon.

Good luck to everyone this next cycle!!

 

[SDFgirl]

Well, 10dpo and I just took a test. I couldn't resist and...bfn. I kinda figured. I don't "feel" pregnant. Not that I really know what it feels like, but I mean nothing with my body is out of the ordinary. No sore bbs, nothing.

Ah well, guess there's always next month!!!

 

[DisneyDreamer8]

So my blood came back....NORMAL...I'm happy and sad about that. Happy because there is nothing wrong with me and sad because there is nothing wrong with me...does that even make sense?

So the Dr said not to start the clomid until they do some test on DH. He goes in on the 17th. Let the waiting begin...AGAIN

As for sore bbs...i have come to the conclusion that my body is unrealiable and untrustworthy. My PMS symptoms are all over the place each cycle. Last cycle...nothing...the time before a whole gammit of crap...the cycle before...totally different...I GIVE UP!!! No more guessing if what I an feeling is PMS or Pregnancy!!!! I'm just going to rely on that second pink line showing up.

 

[skuttle]

Michelle...when will you be at WDW? We'll be there the first week in January. I can't wait to get back there with DS. This will be his second trip and I think it'll be so much fun now that he's a little older!

DisneyDreamer...I understand what you're saying about the test results. If something is wrong, then you can figure out how to fix it. But if it's normal, then you still have to figure out what to do.


Well, today is CD28 for me. I broke down and bought some HPT today. Took one when I got home and it was BFN so I'm not holding my breath this month. Last month AF arrive around CD 30, so I won't bother testing again until probably Sunday morning if AF doesn't arrive before then. I don't really feel pregnant so I'm sure this has been another month down the drain. Every time I go to the bathroom I'm just waiting to break down and cry.

I am going Jan 10-15, unfortunately i'll be working most of the time, but oh well! you should have a blast taking your son! I just went with my DH in August and then with my whole family last December (early Dec before crowds), so i've definitely had my fill of WDW lately! if only i could have a kid to take someday! where are you staying Skuttle? Sorry about your BFN, don't lose hope, just wait a few days and see if the ugly witch rears her head. i am hoping not.

disneydreamer---so sorry, but that is the case with so many of us. all my tests were normal too and DH's. even my die test. yet after 18 mos, 6 clomid cycles and now 3 IUIs, still nothing. and still no explanation either. at least you took the first step and can begin the road to having your miracle hopefully! My pms symptoms are like yours lately. i have bad pms, but lately it is all over the place. i usually get migraines a week before, but not the last few cycles. it is so weird trying to figure out what is what.


SD girl- hang in there, it is still early, so just wait a little longer and then re-test- i am hoping you get a BFP!!!

i test next Friday, in a week! i am so nervous. did a progesterone check this am, waiting on the doc to call and let me know if i have to take progesterone this cycle or not, didn't last time. no news is good news.

I'm just going to rely on that second pink line showing up.

Before I conceived (which incidentally took longer than I expected) I would focus on the earliest pregnancy symptoms and get myself all worked up....over nothing. The disappointment I felt when it became apparent we were once again unsuccessful was just crushing. So I made the decision to completely ignore all possible early symptoms or chalk them up to PMS. I even joined a TTC board where the moderator said just that....just put down any symptoms before a missed period or positive pregnancy test as PMS. It took a great deal of mental stress off of me.

When I did conceive, I had no unusual super-early symptoms. The test stick was the earliest symptom I got, and thank goodness it was reliable.

Rebecca - So, good to hear that your bloodwork came back ok. At least you know that things on your end are good. I was telling DH last night - I don't mind continuing trying, knowing that we are both ok and can actually conceive. I understand it just may take time. But, I would hate to keep trying for another 6 months, and THEN find out that something was wrong with one of us - and then start medication, alternative ways, etc... Ya know? Hopefully I can covey this to my OB on Tuesday!!

Michelle - Sounds like you will have a BLAST in WDW!! I find that my overall attitude is always a bit better when I have a fun trip to look forward to. I can rationalize all the bad stuff by saying "at least I am going to Disney soon!".

Skuttle - Don't give up hope!! You never know what could happen! Baby dust to you and all others that are in the 2WW!

DH and I are up at the Mt. Washinton Hotel in NH this weekend with a big group of friends for the annual Food & Wine Festival. It is pretty cold up here, but no snow. I would love to see a little snow shower - especially since it is all decorated for Christmas!

 

[skuttle]

Well, so far no AF. I'm on CD29 and still no AF. I think tomorrow morning, if there's no AF, I may test again. Last month AF arrived the morning of CD30. We'll see how I feel in the morning I guess. It's strange. I want to test to find out, but at the same time, I don't want to test just to get another BFN!

We're staying at All Star Music in January. Last December we went to WDW and stayed at the WL. Then we bought our first house in May. We REALLY wanted to squeeze in another trip with DS while he's still young and before we had another child, so we decided to go in January and just stay at a value. We're limited as far as when we can go because DH is a teacher. I'm a little nervous as we normally stay at deluxes, but I rather stay at a value and still be able to have the spending money we normally do, than stay at a nicer resort and have to watch what we spend in the parks. So we'll see how it goes. We stayed one night at All Star music in the past, so I at least have an idea of what I'm getting into!

Kelly, sounds like you will have a wonderful weekend!

Yesterday morning, at 10 DPO, I took my first HPT - a FRER - & if hubby & I craned our necks just right it seemed like there was a very faint line there. Since it was so early & such a faint line, I tried not to think about it too much & decided to wait & take another test today...

Not sure if you can make it out in the photo - but at 11 DPO, I think I finally have my BFP!!! I'm on CD35, but I don't think I O'd until CD 24 (per FF.)

I'll be taking another test tomorrow - using a different brand to see if I still get a BFP. I'm really excited - wasn't able to go back to sleep after taking that test this morning like I had planned! LOL So, if I am BFP - I guess all my symptoms weren't in my head over these last couple weeks - I really do feel different - not sure I can explain how, though!

Good luck to everyone still in the 2WW !!!! Thanks for listening!!

 

[SDFgirl]

Congratulations, Emily! That is awesome! I hope you have a happy and healthy pregnancy!



I caved and took another test this morning and it was negative. 11dpo and I don't feel any different, so I believe this is IT for this month. AF should arrive today or tomorrow.

This was our first month TTC too, so I'm trying to not let it get to me too much. We'll just keep trying! Swim, little spermies...SWIM!!

Good luck to the rest of you...!

 

[mickeybar]

Wow! Congratulations! That is very exciting!

Emily-sorry if too personal, but were your bbs sore on and off? Mine are. Did you have any af-like cramping?
Tell us what you did! (if you don't mind!) Was it everyday, every other?

I can't believe I still haven't broken down and taken a hpt yet. Sometimes I really feel like I could have my period any second, and other times I feel like I am prego! I think more towards the period though. I still have very sore bbs and some mild cramping way down there. I think I may test Tuesday, but I'm really not due till next Thursday or so. I'm on cd28, 9dpo.

 

[LisaB]

Well she arrived yesterday We are going to wait until after the holidays.

 

[skuttle]

Congratulations Emily!! Woo Hoo!!

Still no AF for me. I'm on CD30 today. I broke down and took another test last night and it was a BFN. So I guess I'll wait a couple of days and try again if still no AF. Last month AF arrived the morning of CD30, so I guess we'll see. I need to make myself wait to take a HPT first thing in the morning. I keep taking them right after I get home from work...after I've been drinking water all day! Plus, the tests I just bought were really cheap...some off brand. Okay..maybe I'm rationalizing my BFN's the past few days. LOL!

Sorry, Lisa. Maybe the holidays will bring y'all some luck!
