Any other DISers trying to concieve? Reread OP for the QOTD!

Skuttle/Gurgi - It seems pregnant womem come in waves. I agree with Gurgi though and keep thinking that when the time is right there will be a baby for me.

Vick - Sorry about AF.

Tinkerchelle - Good luck testing in the morning!

Michelle - Wow, 16 weeks already. Time really does fly. Thanks for the positive feedback on acupuncture. I have an appointment for next week when we get back from Ohio.

Have a great week everyone and baby dust to all of us approaching the 2WW!

Tinkerchelle...did you test????

Tinkerchelle...did you test????

Good Morning Ladies! No AF, but a BFN! I was a little queasy yesterday on the way home from work and I am having a very unusual discharge. Sorry for the details. Who thought I would ever be sharing something like that on a message board? Could this be an infection and that is why no AF? I have had uti and yeast infections before but am not having any other symptoms to make me think I have one of those. Todays is day 29, I always bleed on day 27 or 28 so I was feeling very positive I would wake up to a BFP.

 

[Gurgi]

Well, you know what they say...it ain't over until the old hag sings!!

It's possible you O'd later than you thought, but don't give up hope until AF starts!

Sorry about the BFN, but until you get AF, there is still hope for this cycle. I don't think an infection would delay AF.

Chelle what brand did you use?

Rebecca, woo hoo on Pirates! We're seeing it Thursday at 8

For all those feeling low due to pregnant ladies, my heart goes out to you. I've been through that before as well! And yes, it seems to be a thing that happens in waves... four people in my church choir are currently pregnant that *I* know of. It has to be hard for anyone who wants a child to see that Especially when it is the people who go "oops" I admit I still have issues with a friend of mine who told me the day of my D&C that she was pregnant and didn't even want to be pregnant that time. She is due a month after I would have been... that makes it even harder on me I would've been due in less than 2 weeks....

 

[TinkerChelle]

Chelle what brand did you use?

I used First Response early pregnancy test. I spoke with my sister-in-law, a nurse at a family practice office, and she said that about 25% of the women who come in for an early urine test are false-negative and end up being pregnant when tested a week later?!

Going to go about the rest of my day and try not to think about it. Okay..who am I kidding, right?

I *HATE HATE HATE* First Repsonse. I was decidedly very pregnant (HCG levels in the 10s of thousands) and I *still* only got a faint line out of them. I was nervous about a small bit of spotting durin the last pregnancy so I took one. First one had a faint line... the next two had NOTHING!

I know some love them, but I will never use them again. I much prefer the Clear Blue Easy digital. Always had good results with them

 

[2bemarried]

Hi all...

nothing new to add that hasn't already been said or suggested. Hugs all around for those of you in the 2ww or waiting to try again.

 

[DisneyDreamer8]

TinkerChelle-Hang in there I would try another brand of HPT in a couple of days. And I've had a couple of those "did I just actually type that" moments, but we all understand, and it helps to talk about it sometimes. I agree that I don't think that an infection would delay AF so maybe............

Allison-Yeah...We can be cycle buddies. What day do you normally "O"?

Elaine- Enjoy the movie!!!

Denae and Kristy!!

Not much here...just waiting for that egg to get ready.

 

[mickeyboat]

for your egg, Rebecca!

 

[DisneyDreamer8]

for your egg, Rebecca!

Thanks Denae It's crazy how excited we can get knowing we are about to "O"

Well I just booked our hotel for Disneyland!!!!! ROAD TRIP!!!!

Hi everyone , just checking in and glad to see everyone SEEMS to be doing well today. I'm just here at work counting the days until my trip to WDW (16 more days) . Hang in there Chelle and Rebecca , I have been where you are many, many, MANY times. This is you you and everyone els that is TTCing . to all of the mommies to be. I actually feel a little at peace with my decision to stop TTCing, especially when I realized this morning that I graduated from High School 16 years ago today and I will be 34 in 2 weeks.

I am so looking forward to my trip to the World , I was able to snag the last room at the All Star Movies for June 7-9 and I got a one day base that we are going to use at MK for my big day

Guess I better get back to work

Getting so close to your trip!!! I really hope you enjoy your Birthday at the Magic Kingdom!!!!

Thanks for thinking of me. This is Cycle 15 so I'm feeling like an old pro at the waiting game...still gives me anxiety but I'm learning to deal.

I think about you guys alot. I have been there for the last 5 1/2 years myself and have experienced alot, so I know how it feels. I just wish I had support like this when I was dealing with the hardest times.

Good Luck, maybe this time will be lucky.

Thanks for the info. Maybe next month I will use Clear Blue Easy Digital. AF came late this afternoon. I don't know what else to say. Feeling icky, but at least we get to try again next month. I am grateful for that, but right now it is hard to focus on next month. I cried pretty hard which surprised me. I really thought I was pregnant. Hopefully next month. I'll invest in some baby aspirin now! I am glad I found you all here. I can vent my craziness with you!

Baby dust to everyone trying this month! I want to see some BFPs!!

Rebecca..I just checked on today is CD12 for me. I've noticed anywhere from CD14 to CD20...so who knows?!? Good luck to you! I think we're in need of a wave of BFP on this thread. We had the spring BFP and now it's time for the summer BFPs...maybe we can start it!

Chelle: I'm so sorry. Some months I cry and get depressed, some months I just get angry and frustrated. It varies. It's never easy, though.

Suzanne: I hope you enjoy your birthday trip in a few weeks!! How exciting! I'd love to go to WDW for my birthday, but my b-day is in October so it'd be almost impossible to go since DH is a teacher. I just think it would be SO special...I'm sure your day will be great!!

Today I was sandwiched between two pregnant girls at my deposition. One is due in July, so she's huge. I kept catching myself staring at her rubbing her belly. Wish that was me.

Well..off to drink my nightly grapefruit juice...YUM!

 

[momsully]

Tinkerchelle - I am so sorry.

PrincessSuzanne - Enjoy your birthday trip to the world? I have never been to the world for my birthday but we have done the kids bdays there twice and it was great.

DisneyDreamer8 - Enjoy your road trip! I haven't been to Disneyland in about 5 years. Even though it is an easier trip from Denver to CA it seems we usually end up in Florida!

Well, I think I O'd yesterday so I am in the 2WW. My cycles are usually a little longer so I am not sure what will happen with the Clomid this month. I would love to see a bunch of BFP's to start the summer!

 

[snoopygirl79]

I'm just checking in again as I'm looking for some advice. On this thread we're all going through the same thing but my DH said something to me yesterday that made me think and then I felt like a complete b***h!!

Obviously, for us who are TTC, when AF arrives it can be known for us to take it quite badly - well I know I do and I end up crying for hours and generally just be really upset!! And at that time, I'm hoping DH will be very understanding and support me and make me feel better. But he said to me, who's there to support him month after month when it doesn't happen? I have been so caught up in the fact that AF shows up time and time again, I never really stop to think how this is affecting him as well. So of course I felt like a complete b***h for not being supportive of him. I did also try to explain that I do understand it is hard on him too, but that when AF does show up, it's not always the best time for me to be supportive to him, as I get really bad stomach cramps and still some effects from PMT which makes me really moody!! He did agree in the end that maybe that wasn't the best time to bring it up as I was a complete mess at the time!!

I guess what I'm trying to ask is, when you feel like absolute c**p about the fact that AF has showed up again, what's the best way to deal with it yourself and then also offer support to DH as he's upset too? I just find it impossible to look after myself at that point, let alone look after his feelings too but I know that makes me sound like a complete uncaring cow!! I'm not really, it's just I'm finding TTC so hard at the moment.

Any advice will be gratefully received!!

Vick
