Hellobee Boards

@Silva: timing looks great!

@coopsmama: @marley: @Shizaz: good luck ladies! Sore bb's and smelling smoke all sound like great signs to me!

Has anyone used the progesterone cream that you have to insert vaginally? It's truly awful.

Man, this babymaking stuff is super sexy (not.).

@Silva: Sometimes I just let the crazy take over for an hour or so and google endlessly and read ridiculous posts about symptom spotting. There are worse things. Like prenatals. *shudder* I take them, but man, I have to make myself choke them down!

I am on track to O tomorrow/Wednesday . . . and we are trying again this cycle. I got two high readings on the CBEFM this time (and on the "right" days, CD 11 and 12), so maybe that's a sign that things are going more normally . . . ? (last time it jumped from low to peak, with no high days in between.) Only time will tell. I will be 14dpo on Dec. 8.

@marley: Ooh the smelling symptom sounds promising! My nose turned into a bloodhound when I was pregnant. I could smell stuff a mile away haha!

@pwnstar: Good luck this cycle! Glad things are going normally with the cbefm.

@mrsjd: nope I haven't tried the cream either. Hah yep, who knew baby making wasn't just all fun and games.

@Silva: Fingers crossed for you and hope the TWW goes by fast!

@pwnstar: I do this too! I am not really a symptom spotter, the last few months I've had zero symptoms. But I will google post after post about the symptoms I should be feeling, or trying to find people saying they had no symptoms. This cycle has been different though. I was feeling nauseous before bed last night, and I still am today. I had a dream I got a BFP last night too. The waiting is just killing me. I might test tomorrow morning again but maybe I'll try to hold out until Wednesday. I am going to be so disappointed if it's negative.

@MrsB2012: I am surprised it's not as easy as it seems. I know many people who have had accidental pregnancies. It almost seems like it's more likely to happen as an accident than to plan it!

@marley: Ohh I thought maybe you could just smell the smoke from faraway. Well, I definitely hope it's a pregnancy symptom and not anything scary!

@Silva: if you ovulated on CD16 then your timing was *perfect*

@mrsjd: that stuff sounds medieval.

@pwnstar: which prenatals do you take? I recently switched and am gagging slightly less, but always curious about new (if gross) brands. yes to the crazy googling, I now have read every thread ever written on the internet about slow-rising betas and ectopics.

by the way, have you guys noticed that in most of the other forums, like babycenter, the entries are written so badly that they're hard to understand? I'm grateful HB exists.

@marley: I am having a psychic premonition that your brain is in perfect health

@wheres_c: hang in there, lady.

@wheres_c: wait, you're only 7dpo? totally agree with @mrschickpea: in that case

@marley: haha you do not have a tumor.
Funny story. One time, I smelled fantom garlic. Anywhere I went, I smelled garlic. Hubs could never smell it. I googled and was convinced I had a tumor. Decided to wash my fleece jacket two weeks later - reminents of crushed garlic inside my sleeve - must have spilled it while cooking.

@wheres_c: that is hilarious. Not-so-phantom garlic after all!

@marley: hey girl, hope the smoke smell has stopped & you get some good news soon! I think brain tumour suspicions need to be put to rest!

@mrschickpea: I agree wholeheartedly with that picture. I envy people who get knocked up on their first try ever off BC etc, but part of me wonders if they are fibbing now, haha.

I definitely got "lucky" with #1. I think that's why i have so much anticipation as we are "trying" for 2.
I had been told I would need fertility help bc of severe PCOS and hadn't had a period in 2 years when I found out I was Preggo with my first. So while he was a surprise baby, we conceived after a year or so of NTNP.

Now my period is back and more regular, and I'm back on metformin for the PCOS.

I had hoped for two kids with a two year gap. LO1 is about to turn 3. Granted we waited awhile to start trying again, and then I was traveling for work at all the wrong times...

@wheres_c: Sorry. Hoping it's too early and you still get a .

@pwnstar: @LCTBQE: You ladies are so funny! It's too true - I was at my wit's end with them. It didn't help that were on a strict budget with the holidays and they ate up SO much food and didn't offer to reimburse us at all. Feeding 5 extra people is no joke. I feel like I've spent all of my day (I'm a sahm) trying to recover and get our house back in order. Thankful that ordeal is over.

@coopsmama: lol yeah the pack of wondfos that one of the other bees sent me is burning a hole in my cabinet.

@wheres_c: way too early! Lots of hope left!

@wheres_c: I was lucky with both my girls. I got pregnant on the second month of charting with both. With my first we were ntnp for over a year. Then I started charting and it totally changed things.

@coopsmama: haha I'm the same way. I start poas at 7dpo all the time. I can't help it!

@marley: Totally! I would never post but it doesn't stop me stalking their boards during tww!

@mrschickpea: I'm totally printing this one out.

It's been a few months since I posted. I finally got a BFP I had a negative on First Response on 10 or 11 DPO. I was expecting my period today, and it didn't come so I took another one and it was positive! I totally didn't expect it since I got a negative at 10-11 DPO.

I came off birth control in Feb. 2015 and my first cycle was 60 days XD Eventually they became shorter. This cycle (which ended in pregnancy) was going to be 35 days long. I had 2-3 anovulatory cycles due to stress (both job and physical health issues), pharmacy screwing up my thyroid, and my body adjusting after birth control. This last cycle was also the only one where we had sex more than once in the fertile period XD

I'm both nervous and excited. I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, which automatically makes me a high risk pregnancy. Assuming this will be a viable pregnancy, it will be the first child for my husband and me I don't think I'll get back on birth control until after I'm done having kids. It took my body a long time to regulate.

@thepaperbutterfly: congrats!!!!
