Hey Shana, thankyou for the new thread. Hope all the bding leads to a pregnancy girl ---- but you know, maybe you shouldn't get "excited" ANY month after all the bding; pregnancies (like other blessings) seem to happen, when you're least expecting them. I've decided not to get excited anymore, because it's too much of a let down when the hpt turns up negative; or it's positive, but the baby miscarries. Yeah, I think I'll just let the marbles roll where they will. If I do, I do --- If I don't, I don't. Bluedisc ---- again, welcome. Hope ev'ry1 is ok. I also hope this thread doesn't fade out. Has ev'ry1 found better threads, or have we all been too busy taking care of our babies?? 3babies ↑

3babies I know what you mean....but it is so hard not to get excited....I woke up this am to get hubby up and I had this dream that I tested and it was + I just laughed it off and he left for work I almost tested but I didnt.....DD laid down for a nap so I do too because I was just tired and when I woke I had dreamed the same thing again so I flet this is a sign for me to test so it had been about 4 1/2 hours since I had peed last so I tested and it was a BFN....I felt so sure of having this dream 2 times that it was a sign to test...but ...........its ok though there is always next next month......cant remember who asked but someone asked on the last post "why did my Dr say that I was at a higher risk of tubal?"......not sure other than the fact my tubes was tied and now have been put back together and an egg may get snagged so to speak and not move down the tube......I didnt question him I just trusted what he said........so not real sure just my guess......later ladies ↑

Hey Girls- Shana, love the new thread! I know it is hard not to get excited every month. I drove myself crazy, but I never really tested, just waited for af- tests aren't really accurate until af is late anyway. I really hope this is your cycle, but if not, I know it will be soon and there are plenty of cycles in the future. We actually were ttc for 15 months and had pretty much given up when I got the bfp the first time. So to me Bunny is right, it happens at the strangest time, never when you expect it. Colleen ↑

OMG I am not crazy the first part of my post is GONE VANISHED......????? dont know what happened......basically I said hey to everyone and I am late but 2 BFN (I am basing "late" on an average of my last 4 cycles) yes I used FMU and 2 test have been neg......I am stressed at work again with alot of BS going on......got a friend that works at our hometown newspaper and she has an opening in her dept. pay is $4 less per hour insurand and benefits about the same (here you get 4 hrs of sick and 4 hrs of vacation leave every 2 weeks there you get 6 hours of PTO (personal time off) every 2 weeks so 8 vs 6...... she takes calls for no paper delivered and orders and payments.....0 stress compared to medical emergencies, robberies, thefts, wrecks, child abuse, deaths, kidnappings and fires and more (that is where my first post starts ////////sorry about that ladies ↑

Hey punkin- good to hear from you. I think if there's any way you can swing taking the other job you should. I know it's tough taking a pay cut but it sounds like the stress where you are is not worth it. Stress is so bad for you and really even worse when ttc. Hey, we bought a used fridge for $125 and we've had it 11 years. I hope I didn't just jinx it! We had just bought the house and had zero money, just a thought. Hey where is everyone else? Hopefully busy bd'ing! Colleen ↑
Well hello all! Guess we're fading out. Hi Colleen. Yes, dh & I "did the do" (not really bd-ing, because i wasn't ov-ing at the time) twice in one day last week; more than we usually do in a whole month!! How's the pregnancy coming along? Shana, I say take (if you haven't already) the job. Dh took a HUGE pay cut about 5 years ago, but the company we both work for now, is so much more stress-free for him. We are up to our necks in bills, and gas prices are outrageous (as you well know), but money isn't everything; a stress-free (or less stressful) job can keep you alive much longer. Dh & I really could use some big bucks, but I wouldn't sacrifice the "ease" of our jobs, for a wad of money ( I think). :-) And we haven't even gotten a raise in 3 years; now that's sick!! I hope everyone is doing well. Take care ladies, 3babies ↑

3_babies_at_41 - Hi and long time no hear from how have you been? I'm still here trying for one more. Well this cycle I have all 3 of the meds I needed so we will see AF started on cd 28 she came 4 days early. I am on cd 3 yesterday I started taking prenat vit and baby asprin and today I started taking 50mg of clomid cd 3-7 then I will move on to 1mg of estrodoil 3 pills 2 times a day cd 8-12 and then I am suppose to bd on cd 10-16 but knowing me I will start right after AF leave but I will make sure I go all the way until cd 16 then starting on cd 17 I am to take progesterone gel (prochieve 8%) and then on cd 27 & 28 take a hpt and this time I am going to wait until it is time instead of tricking myself into testing early which really isn't that hard to do. I will keep you updated. Krissy68 ↑

Hey girls- I haven't had much of a chance to stop by lately, we were submitting a HUGE HUD grant for the last week (I work at a health department) we finally finished it last night. Bunny- no raise in 3 years? That blows. We only get a 3% raise a year, but I guess it could be worse. Krissy- good luck this cycle, hopefully that new cocktail you have will do the trick! Punkin- wow that was a long cycle. What is your average? It must be hard to know when you ovulate and when to do a hpt. Good luck, hope the perspective job works out for you. Colleen ↑

Hi girls, nice to see you back! How is everyone doing? We just found out on Monday, it's a boy!!! Colleen ↑
Name: Krissy68 | Date: Jul 17th, 2008 7:16 PM
Hey girls I have miss you all so much and I am glad you have came back. Here is my little update I am on cd 13 I started taking baby asprin and prenat vit on cd 2 and I am still taking that then I took the clomid 50mg cd 3-7 and then 1mg estrogene 3 pills 2 times a day cd 8-12 ( you finish up on the morning of cd 12) I started using my internet opk test strip on cd 7 which was the last day I took clomid but on cd 8&9 I did get a faint test line but then it has been negative. I test twice a day and today I tested this morning and it I could start to see the test line show up so I am going to test again in less than an hour and see if it has gotten darker. I'm keeping my fingers cross that this means I will be ovulating in a few days, I have bd cd 6, 9-12 so far my lower back is hurting and I can't get rid of this headache my right ovaries is hurting but what got me is my temp is only 97.62 so I am hoping it will start to go up I am really dry oh and another thing I have started the robintussin on cd 10 I have notice some cm.
clindholm - Congrats on you going to have a son, do you have any names picked out yet. Rub your belly for me. Krissy68 ↑
Name: clindholm | Date: Jul 18th, 2008 2:30 PM
Hey Krissy- Sounds like you're getting a few side effects from the clomid, huh? I was reallly emotional when I took it. It will all be worth it though- good luck hopefully this will be your cycle. I'm rubbing my belly and send you baby dust! Happy bd'ing! Hey Bunny and Ounkin- how are you lovely ladies doing? Miss you guys, have a great weekend! Colleen ↑
Dang! I don't even get yahoo emails anymore, when someone makes a post! What's a girl gotta do to get contacted? :-) Take care ladies, 3babies

HEY! Is anyone ttc anymore, OR WHAT?? Well, I'll be 42 this Saturday (Aug. 2nd). Hope to do some bding at the hotel; although I won't be ovulating until somewhere around the 6th. Not sure if I ovulated following my last cycle ---- seemed pretty "dry" (tmi) the whole time. Shana, I really hope you will be able to give hubby some + news, on your vacation. Colleen, how far along are you, & how is the pregnancy going? Bunny ↑
Name: clindholm | Date: Jul 29th, 2008 11:28 AM
Happy Birthday Bunny!!! Hope you have a great one. Good luck on the bding. Punkin- you still have a good shot at it, if not, you'll have even more fun next cycle ttc'ing. Krissy- how goes it? Has af showed her ugly face? I hope not. Well I'm 21 weeks tomorrow and I'm a little pissed. A co-worker told me her son had Fifths's Disease and now she has the rash too! I'm so freakin mad at her for coming to work when she knew damn well she was exposed!!! I had bloodwork and am waiting for the results. This chick calls in sick for every little thing, but not when she endangers me and my baby. I am sooooo mad right now. I am glad she went home today or I might have really given it to her! ↑
Name: Krissy68 | Date: Jul 29th, 2008 8:33 PM
punkin01 - Hey girl how are you doing long time no hear from. I'm still here I will be keeping my fingers cross for you and I hope you have a very nice vacation and I can't wait for you to tell us all about it.
3_babies_at_41 - Hey girl where have you been hiding. I'm still here trying to get pg so such luck. Happy Early Birthday and I know you will be enjoying yourself at the hotel.
clindholm - No AF as of yet but I did test this morning and it was a bfn. Your coworker need her butt beat for that one. Have your test results came back yet. I will say a prayer for you and your little one.
Hey ladies here is an update on me. I am cd 25 10dpo and I tested but it was a bfn I have a bunch of the internet opk/hpt test so I have figure I will just test everyday from now until AF show up which I am preparing myself for she is due between Aug 2-4. My temp went down from yesterday 98.85 to 98.52 but i am still way above the coverline what does this mean if anything. The only thing that is bothering me is my lower back is killing me, I am starting to pee alot more, my stomache is real quessy and now my mouth is starting to water like I have to throw up. I think that is about it for me. Krissy68 ↑
Oooooooooooooo, Colleen --- you should KILL (don't mean to sound so violent) :-) that lady! And when the cops come to haul you off to jail, just tell the judge your hormones were raging; and you didn't know what you were doing (smile). Every1 feels sorry for a pregnancy lady (they get the most sympathy), so use this as your opportunity, while you still can. Thank you ladies so much, for the birthday wishes. Krissy, remember what I said about those pregnancy symptoms; I seemed to have every one of them, but no pregnancy. I think I made myself have all those symptoms, because I wanted a baby so badly; however, I'm really hoping you're pregnant, but if not ---- keep "going at it". For every1 else who is MIA, I hope it is because you are all bding like crazy, and can't stop! Take care all, Bunny ↑

hey ladies.....I am really hoping my vacation is purr-fect!!!! and I have good news for hubby......I have had 3 mornings Sat and Mon and today that i was very queesy.....but Sun morning i slept in and wasnt effected......I know this is not a common symptom but when I figured out I was preggo with my 18 y/o son , 2 1/2 DD and my angel I either had a UTI or had one very shortly after confirming pregnancy......(I have had UTI plenty of other times so I know this is not a true sign) but last night I had pain after I Tee-Tee'd at work for about 1 hr and I started to guzzle water.....and then I thought about it so I tested when I got home 11:30 pm BFN I know stupid but I couldnt help it...........3_babies_at_41 HAPPY BIRTHDAY early......that will by my Joshua's "Angelversary"......clindholm I would have shared some NASTY words with this girl...that is so wrong of her to knowningly expose you ...keep us updated.......Krissy68 hey fingers crossed for you......I have to go to the DR on 8/31 (the morning we leave for our vacation (I had gestational diabetes with Kayleigh and Joshua except it didnt go away after he was born ) so my Dr still has me on meds and he wanted to see 6 weeks worth .....so I should be starting AF around this weekend....would be nice if he would test and it be +...........hope everyone is doing well and take care.....oh one last thing since we will be in Chattanooga on our vacation on Aug 2 ....we want to remember Joshua ...what do yall think about us dropping flowers into the Tenn. River or do you think we could get in trouble????? I just want to remember him in a special way love yall ↑
Name: clindholm | Date: Jul 30th, 2008 8:57 AM
Punkin- I really don't see how you can possibly get in trouble for dropping flowers in the river in remembrance of your angel, that would just be ridiculous if ANYONE had a problem with it. I think that is a beautiful idea. I hope you enjoy your vacation and praying for a bfp for you! Krissy- I also had a bfn at 10 dpo when I got my bfp, but it's so hard to say. I had really no symptoms, just hunger and af cramps so I am no help with the early symptoms. Bunny, have you resumed ttc? I wasn't sure if you had decided to continue or not. Hope your Birthday getaway is great. Well I am still waiting for my bloodwork results that should be back tomorrow. I am just so angry and scared. I don't understand how someone can be so careless toward an unborn baby. The co-worker has not returned to work yet, which is pointless b/c once you have the rash you are no longer contagious. But I'm glad b/c if I see her, it won't be pretty. I would appreciate any prayers you guys could give for my little one. I'm just really hoping I had it as a child and either my mom doesn't remember or I just didn't get the rash. Colleen ↑

3_babies_at_41 - Hey girl what's going on with you I really hope you enjoy your birthday. I totally understand. Well per my doctor's orders I am to test on cd 27 & 28 which is tomorrow and friday.

'm still preparing myself for AF just in case so I want be mad or upset. She is suppose to be here betweent Aug 2-4 so in about 3 to 5 days I will know something.
punkin01 - Have fun on your vacation and I really don't think you will get in trouble for doing that and I know that will make that a very special day. Well I get to test tomorrow and friday I will be cd 27 & 28 as of today I am cd 26 and 11dpo my temp drop some from yesterday 98.52 to 98.39 but I am still above the coverline do you know what that means.

clindholm - Your coworker have some nerve she did it to be funny I think and she be hope and pray she didn't harm your baby. Can you please tell me if you remember what dpo did you get your bfp. As of today I'm cd 26 11dpo and you will be so proud of me I didn't test. Well tomorrow is test day per doctors orders he wants me to test on cd 27 & 28. Please say a big prayer for me. Also I'm still preparing myself just in case AF show up she is suppose to be here anywhere between Aug 2-4 but I am not having any signs one way or the other if AF is coming or that I might be pg. The only signs I am having is my lower back is killing me and my stomach is getting bloated and my stomach is feeling really quessy and I am peeing just a little more. The only thing that kinda have me worried is my temp went down some from yesterday 98.52 to 98.39 but I'm still above my coverline is that good. Please help me. Krissy68 ↑

Hi ladies, I LOVE U ALL!!! Thanks to EVERYONE for the birthday wishes. I looking forward to a little "hubby & me" time; my brother will be looking after the kids (what a job he has!). Colleen, I am still ttc, but only until the year is out; after that, I will get the IUD put back in place ---- FOR GOOD! I will throw some prayers up for you & your little one. Shana, go ahead girl ---- dump those flowers all over the Tenn. River; we are all with you in spirit. I really hope you are "+", but in the meantime, try to ignore the symptoms; as it will be ( speaking from experience) a big letdown, if you are not p/g. The same for you Krissy ---- & yes, I'm proud you for not testing. As hard as it will be, try to wait & test atleast a couple of days after being LATE. Well, b4 I go, I'm sending out a BIGGGGG HUGGGGGG to all!! Take care, & nighty-nite. ↑
