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

People who have "hostile" CM are the ones that need it thinned out (it can be sticky and scant or too much thick mucus that won't allow sperm to swim well.) Most people don't need to....but it won't hurt those of us who have normal CM, it will just make it more abundant and slippery.

Sorry, this just made me

It just struck me how funny this conversation would seem to other people.

QOTD 5/6: I think the one thing I am most looking forward to is creating life. That seems like such a miracle to me.

The thing I am not looking forward to is actually being pregnant... I can't explain but for some reason that totally scares me. It's the idea of the unknown I think.

Me too! I am amazed at our ability to do this. But unlike helenabear, I can't wait to be pregnant. See my belly get bigger, feel kicks...it's all going to be surreal. I just hope I don't get too sick.

NO QOTD for 5/7- enjoy your Sunday!! Take a break from the baby-making mindset!

Unless, of course, you are about to O- then GET BUSY!!

 

[Syrreal]

Well... no baby yet.. AF came for a visit. Good excuse to try again..maybe a suvenir of our disney trip that starts at the end of the week

Good morning everyone! Well, I mentioned in an earlier post that I would find out if this cycle was successful early this week, but I was not hopeful. Well, I was wrong - I am pregnant! I am actually more scared than excited because I've lost my last 2 pregnancies so in my mind I'm not really considering myself pregnant yet and probably won't until I pass the 8 1/2 week mark (the furthest along I was with my previous losses). I just can't let myself get too attached to the idea of having another - not yet. And then there are a whole other set of worries due to my age. Aaaahhhh....these next few weeks are going to go sooo slow.

I hope I am still welcome to post here to offer support, advice, and encouragement.

Is your doctor going to do anything different with you because of the 2 miscarriages?



BFP #1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am going to go in this week for a blood test to test HCG and progesterone levels, then a US at around 6 weeks and another at around 8 weeks. I'm hoping the third time is a charm for me.

Hi Guys...

I haven't read through this thread completely. I posted last week, thinking this thread was going to fall to the wayside and now I have to catch up on 3 pages! Wow!! I need to keep checking this. It's nice to have a place on the DIS to talk about TTC.

I am currently in my 2WW. I am 4 DPO right now. I am hoping and praying. We timed BD good I think. It's the first month temping and Ovusoft has me Oing on Thursay CD15 and I had O pains. We BD the night before so that's pretty good. I looked back at the last 5 cycles and noticed that we never BD the night before O, maybe that's the trick. We have BD the morning of O but that's it. I heard once that the spermies need to be in there for 12 hours to do their magic before getting to the Egg... Anyone heard anything like that?

I don't really have an SXS yet, too early. I do feel more bloated and gassy, TMI! Sorry!!

DH and I have been trying for 5 cycles but like I said, I think this one has the most promise b/c of the timing. We are moving in a month and half and DH is going to be gone the next cycle the whole week of O so we won't be really trying again until August after this month.... If nothing by the fall we will probably start to look into it more.

Good luck everyone... I'll go read through the posts and post more responses!

 

[Syrreal]

KimR-


Dmickey28- I know what you mean with the whole not being abl eto try again till august. If after this cycle I don't get pg then we will have to wait until July to try again. I will be out of the country the 1st 1/2 of june (which happens to be during my O time) and DH has to stay home and study for his masters exams that he will take at the end of summer.
I'm not really sure why but I was expecting to get pg during the 1st try! I think it's the perfectioinist in me.

I think all this is what scares me. I am not sure what to expect, how it will feel, how my body will react. But I am a known worrier I never do well with the unknown. And of course I also feel a bit guilty at times. After losing so much weight, and keeping it off for a long time, I worry that I'll bloat up like I did when I was way overweight. A few of my friends keep telling me how wonderful it felt to be pregnant... I sure hope I feel that way too!

KimR, wishing you all the best!!!!!

Syrreal & DMickey, I hope you won't have the need to try again after this cycle. I would hate it if I couldn't just "do the deed" when I wanted to and have to wait. Fortunately we don't see things like that coming up for us.

KimR- Congratulations!!!!!! I am so excited for you! Our first BFP!!! And OF COURSE you are still welcome!!

All the baby dust around here must be working, and I am going to say a little prayer for you that everything turns out beautifully and ends with a healthy, happy baby and mommy!!!

Ok ladies- since the baby dust MUST have worked for KimR , we need some more of it!! Quite a few ladies on here waiting to get that BFP!

Reread OP for QOTD!

QOTD: My favorite websites are www.twoweekwait.com (suggested by another DISer ttc!); www.fertilityfriend.com (a free charting website); www.proudbody.com (a place to get henna tattoos for your pg belly, as well as belly cast kits); and www.babycenter.com (self explanatory)


Does anyone else use the TCOYF software? I'm considering buying it, but I'm not sure if I want to just yet...

 

[AllyandJack]

QOTD 5/8: I love my buddy groups on Fertility Friend. Some of us have been together since November! Some are pregnant, some not yet. They've gotten me through some really rough times. You have to check out the Huggies site - you can design your own nursery. It's fun to re-arrange all the furniture and re-decorate. Of course, I do my fair share of "pretend shopping" and planning on sites with strollers and high chairs and on websites about hypno-birthing (babyenvy is my favorite). I never thought I'd be into hypno-birthing since I love me some anesthesia and narcotics, but with everything I've been through, I've realized my capacity to handle pain is REALLY high and if I had the help of hypno-birthing, I might be able to manage. I figured I'd give it a try when the time comes, but I won't rule out an injection of some sort of happy drug either.

 

[beckmrk04]

Carla- I'm loving the Huggies website! I made dh help me measure the room so I could get it just right!

 

[Princess4Eeyore]

Hey Everyone ... hope you all doing well. Also wanted to say THANK YOU for the great links. Have a great week.
Hugs

QOTD 5/8/06: My favorited TTC websites are www.twoweekwait.com and www.tcoyf.com community. I used to go to IVillage.com as well but it's a bit slower. I got to babymed.com and Fertilityfriend.com but haven't been to the message boards. I love babies r us just to browse online!! My screen name is about the same everywhere so say HI if you see me... Oh and I like looking at the pictures on www.peeonastick.com.. gross I know!

 

[Minnesota!]

WOO HOO! Congrats Kim!!! First of many BFP's around here, I am praying!!

QOTD 5/8: My faves are WorldCrossing.com (private TTC and PG boards), ovusoft.com, and babycenter.com (I love doing the name polls!)

I don't know what's going on with this cycle. AF is due tomorrow or Wednesday. But I have been gaggy, tired, and then insomnia sets in around 2 in the morning. I have some cheapy internet tests on their way to my house this week...we will see if I need them or not. If I am not pg, then it will be an all out fun fest at WDW in 2 weeks, LOL!!

Who is next for AF/testing?
