HI ALL!

Well, by my last cycle AF is due today (SUN) 24 days, but I'm not sure if my body is regulated yet. We'll see. I'm hoping for 4 more days to give me a 28 day cycle. Gives me a little more O time. Helenabear knows why that's important to me. Anyone heard from Steph? I emailed her and haven't heard anything. My "girls" itch...constantly! I shower regularly and they still itch! Does that mean anything? Period wise or pregnancy wise? Or am I just stuck with itchy "girls"? Nitey Nite!

Hi. Just a quick question. I know that on hpt's the line in the box doesn't have to be as dark as the other line but um, does it have to be exactly in the center?

 

[helenabear]

Hi y'all, just stopping in quickly before I head to church.

Sue, the doctor told me I can travel all I want while pregnant up until like 36 weeks or so. They just told me that I have to get up every 2 or so hours to stretch. Particularly important later in the pregnancy. A friend of mine went down to the Caribbean and that is about a 2 hour then 4-5 hour flight and she was cleared to go at about 13 weeks. So it isn't a huge deal.

I think if I were more like Skuttle, I wouldn't be so against going to WDW again during the first trimester. I was just dealing with gagging due to sinus drip, motion sickness (which I never have normally), and being so blasted tired. I know I would be for it during the next trimester. but that was just a personal preference to me. I hated being on the plane wondering if I would gag to death (so to speak).
That's the only reason why we aren't planning our trip to WDW until after Easter. I'll know for sure by then.

Jennifer, woo hoo on the dk opk!!!!!

Denise, give your body more time to regulate. Have you tried the charting just to see what you think is going on with your body? Or at least checked the CM? Not that you need to just a thought there to see what your body is doing. Mine still isn't 100% normal after the D&C. I don't really care though because if something is hormonally whacked I won't be doing anything about it.

Ash, not 100% sure what you mean by that. If you have a BFP, you'll have two lines. One off center to the left and one off center to the right. At least that is how mine look. They both were towards the center of the window. I would guess if both are shifted to the left or right, it would be fine still and just a small mistake in how they line up.

there are definately two lines. the line in the test window is a little lighter and off center just a little bit, but still pretty close to the center i guess. I'm going to test again later.

Ash, I hope this is it for you! How many DPO are you? If you are about 14 or so, try also for a digital. I loved seeing "pregnant" on mine

I really have no idea how many dpo i am b/c we weren't trying this month at all. but i do know that i was supposed to get af on friday so i'm guessing that i am probably somewhere around 14 dpo.

 

[skuttle]

Oh, Ash, good luck to you!!

 

[helenabear]

If you were due on Friday, most likely you are closer to 16DPO now Go for the digital... and good luck

Ash .. are you using the +/- test? What brand? I used those, especially the target brand but also EPT (is that the one with the +/-)? I would get a very thin horizontal line in the + window that looked like a thin pencil line on the left or right edge of where a "full" line would be. Is this what that looks like?

I would go for a || test if you can .. or try digital? I remember getting that pencil thin line many times ....

Good Luck!!!!

No, I used a || test, CVS early response. I tried to take a picture of it at 5:30-6:00 this morning whenever it was that I took it, it was so dark in here, but you can kind of see,

Well in that case ... I think a Early .... CONGRATULATIONS

A line is a line is a line... The certainly looks like a line to me!!! As long as it came up in the first few minutes and looked like that ... I get me another test for later today but it's looking very very very good!!

 

[ashjohnson80]

the line showed up almost immediately. so i sat it down. went and sat on the bed. went back. was still there. made dh look at it. came and took a picture of it. yeah, i'm a little bit obsessive lol.

 

[skuttle]

I agree...that looks like a line! Get yourself to a store and get a digital!!

 

[Tiggerlover91]

Yea for you! I hear from these ladies that a line is a line. Test again tomorrow morning. I hear the chemical that shows you're pregnant is a lot stronger in the AM if it's in your body! Looking for that ticker soon!

What's DPO?

I am charting. And I suppose that means keeping track of when AF is coming? What's CM?

And why wouldn't you do anything about it if your body is whacked out hormonally? I'm sorry, I don't understand.

Ash

Yeah!! Congrats -- such good news!!

Keep us updated!!

Ash: That's a good looking test!!!! Congratulations!!

Denise: I'm not sure about the girls being "itchy". I have never heard of that one. You have to do fertilityfriend.com. I learned so much and it has been so helpful. CM is cervical mucus or cervical fluid. At first, I was a little weird about checking it, but it's actually not icky. My CM turned eggwhite the day before I got my positive OPK so I had an extra day of BD in that 3-5 day window. What I understand about charting is that the CM is key to knowing when to time the BD to maximize conception chances, and the temp is the way you determine when you have actually Od and when you should know if you're pregnant. It's free for the first 30 days (it was $45.00 for the year-and it will convert you over to the preganacy one if you get pg before the year) and it's got software that gives you analysis of your temperature, etc. Once you join, you can ask questions to experts. I love this feature, b/c you can ask really specific or personal, kind of embarrasing questions that you really need the answer to. I'm pretty sure it was Rebecca and/or Michelle that turned me on to it. Thank you!!!!

I hope everyone is having a great weekend!

WOW, looks like a line to me! I can't wait to hear back!

I am travelling this week for work, and I actually lucked out, because I O'd last week, on CD 14. It was the first time in 6 months that I O'd on CD 14! I t's like my body said "Okay, you've been off the pill for 6 months, time to sort ourselves out, let's try something new and ovulate in a predictable manner". We actually BD'd on the right days too, so fingers crossed. Up until now, I don't think we'd ever had quite the right combo, so I at least I had an excuse when AF showed up. Now that the timing was right, I am hoping for the best, but afraid of what my reaction will be if AF shows her ugly head. I've handled it pretty well so far, knowing I had to give my body time to adjust, etc.. but now, I'm starting to get pretty impatient!

Hope everyone had a great weekend, and I am really looking forward to hearing about some BFP's!!

Ash, I think you are pregnant! That line is a lot darker then the first one I got when I was pregnant with Kylie. I agree that there is nothing quite like having a digital flash the word 'Pregnant'. I'd buy one of those to ease your mind. The one with the lines gave me such a faint, barely there line and I wasn't 100% sure if it was a BFP or not, so I bought the digital one and tested the same day. It flashed 'pregnant' within seconds. It was such a wonderful thing to see.

I have baby fever so badly right now. I know we are planning to start trying around Aug. (hopefully!) so I think just knowing that is only about 4 months away is making my baby fever worse than usual. If all goes according to plan, I am going off of the pill around June and we will begin ttc around Aug. Four months seems so far away right now but I know it will be here before I know it and I will be "officially" joining you ladies soon! I am trying to focus on finishing this semester in school. I am also really focusing on our upcoming trip (probably more than school actually, but shhh! Don't tell! ) That is what is keeping me from becoming too preoccupied with the idea of another baby. I can't wait to start trying though. It seems like everywhere I look someone else is pregnant or just had a baby. I think you notice it more when you want one too. Oh, and Kylie is almost 2 (less than 6 weeks to go) and is turning into a little girl right before my eyes. She's no longer a baby. I'm sure that has something to do with why I am starting to really want another.

Good luck to all of you! This thread has been so lucky! Just take Carla, Nicole, and Michelle for a few examples!

 

[ashjohnson80]

Well guys, I guess it doesn't get any more positive than this.
