Hellobee Boards

@Sams Mom: it certainly could mean you ovulated more than one egg! But my doc kept assuring me that even with 2-3 follicles, the odds of multiples were super low, at least for me, not sure if that’s for everyone. I’m scared of twins too, so I kept asking her for reassurance

@Sams Mom: I'll be absolutely honest with you. My optimism is purely for the sake of maintaining my sanity. I have gotten to the point where all I have left is to look for the positive (literally AND figuratively. ), pray, and hope for the best ... And even then, THAT seems to fall short at times. I do not have an amazing support system as most of my friends and family feel that, since we haven't conceived #3 yet, either it isn't meant to be OR my body can't or shouldn't handle it. The supportive people I do have, though, are amazing and I am grateful for them .... These people include all the ladies here at "Hellobee" whom have been both a wealth of wisdom and a citadel of support.
Anyway, I absolutely get you when you "feel" that glimmer of hope because a cycle is, somehow, different. People may think you are nuts or try to talk you down because "it may not happen this time either" but think however you wish as long as it gives you the strength and positivity to continue to pursue ttc to the extent you know you can.

@Jessiemuller88: I'm sorry! It's so disheartening even when it's early.

I got a positive with my daughter at 8dpo so I'm always disappointed with negatives any later than that. I didn't get a positive with my second pregnancy (that I later miscarried) until about 13 dpo so late implantation is always a possibility

@Kaohinani: @skinnycow: @Jessiemuller88: I'll trade all of you only 1-2dpo over here.

@Kaohinani: yes, pity party please

@skinnycow: I’m the same way. I got a positive with my son at 9dpo. I keep telling myself that implantation can take 10 days.

@MamaBear87: @Sams Mom: hang in there ladies! Y’all will be where we are soon enough! The first week is agonizing though.

@skinnycow: I would also prefer not to have a summer baby for a few reasons, including the heat. I think it would be easier for my oldest to be in school when I give birth, and I would prefer not to have another child who is the youngest in the grade (my oldest was born two weeks before the cut-off).

On a different note, I did not get a BFP until 13 dpo with my first, after daily testing. But my mom never got a positive urine test (in office, before hpts were available) when she was pregnant with me.

@Kaohinani: I tested, bfn... no more testing for me until Monday.

@Kaohinani: Thanks for asking. I have just been ticking along. It helps that I'm on vacation, time flies when I don't have to work.

I'm also 10 dpo according to FF today, might be 8 or 9, not completely sure. Temp is still up, chart is looking good, no spotting, no symptoms worth mentioning. The weirdest thing this cycle have been the 4 dpo(?) spotting and 5-6 dpo(?) temp dip. After that there's been nothing really.

Only thing is I'm not having much cm so I'm not very hopeful. Usually I have loads after OV and it dries up before AF, but I don't remember if I had any this cycle or not.

My thoughts are jumping between - it's not impossible that this is the month - if it hasn't happend in the last five years, why should it happen now?! - it would be so great to tell my SO on his birthday that he's going to be a father - who am I kidding, AF will probably here before monday!
So yeah.

On the hot topic of twins - I actually wouldn't mind. My mother had a twin brother and there's an old wives' tale around here that twins jump a generation. So why not.

@Kaohinani: I woke up this morning and felt awful (clammy and lightheaded) so I decided to test again. I'm not 100% but I think it's a negative. I need to stop using wondfos... I swear I can always see a line if I look at it just right. I'm guessing it's just an evap like last month.

Temp is still higher than it's been since I've had my Ava bracelet.

@Kaohinani: Thanks for asking! I ovulated yesterday, so my TWW is just starting... I think it will be a long one. I'm pretty nervous to test because of last month's chemical. Even if I do get a I'm going to be so scared that it won't stick.... Other aspects of my life have been rough lately too (work stress, and my close coworker left the company earlier this week), so I'm just a mess of emotion all around.

@Kaohinani: I had a BFN today at 11 dpo on a FRER. I will probably wait for my period, I will be rushing tomorrow morning to catch a flight and I don't want to test while I am away.

I feel seriously bad today. Only BFNs so far so I assume I'm coming down with something. I'm nauseous/lightheaded and shaky feeling.

Ummm TMI but I just peed and had about a quarter-size spot of pinkish red blood when I wiped. My period isn't due for 5 days and my pre-AF spotting is always brown.

What the heck? This has literally never happened to me.

@Sams Mom: pee on all the sticks!
@Kaohinani: feels pretty good, but I’m still peeing on all the tests. I can’t wait for my ultrasound!
@skinnycow: very interesting! Tomorrow will be telling!

I had a crappy evening yesterday. My grandpa passed away Wednesday night and I think I'm so afraid to cry now for fear of how that went with the svt that it all built up and made me feel panicky last night. Gah. Eventually I'll feel normal again.

Progesterone is also kicking my butt this month, I'm SO hot today. Must be something in the air

Now a little brown spotting and cramping. I have a bad feeling that AF is on her way. If my period starts tomorrow this will have been at 25 day cycle...WHY are my cycles so messed up now that I'm TTC?
