Hellobee Boards

@foodiebee: Thanks. This is where I got the ranges: http://americanpregnancy.org/while-pregnant/hcg-levels/

@Mrs. Toad: Welcome back!

@karenbme: congrats and I hope your next beta is more reassuring!!

@Mrs. Toad: welcome back!!

AFM, I think I may be 1dpo but I won’t be certain until I have a couple more days of elevated temps. I didn’t get a blazing positive opk this cycle but I started using a different brand of opk strips, so I’m not sure if I just missed my peak or if I’m ovulating late and today’s elevated temp was a fluke.

@QBbride: Nice looking LH strip! Time for some serious BD-ing !!!

@QBbride: ooh yes almost positive!! is that a wondfo strip?

@QBbride: Oooh, it’s BD time.

@Kaohinani: @karenbme: @LAZB: haha thanks the pressure is on! Especially because I’m working a bunch of day shifts this week and I come home SO exhausted and my legs are so sore! I gotta do it though!

@starlitsky: it’s an easy@home and to be honest I don’t really like them!! I used wondfos when TTC #1 and liked them better. I bought a combo pack with OPKs and HPTs but after doing some research it seems the HPTs are not sensitive at all

@skinnycow: ha never too early for symptom spotting!!

@skinnycow: Perky boobs, eh? (I'd take that whether or not it was a pregnancy symptom! ... A girl can wish for her 28 year old chest at 38. )

@Paranundrum: I'm just checking in with you... How have you been? How is this TTC cycle looking?

@Sams Mom: Hoping you are feeling a bit cheerier today.

@Yellowbeach: How is it on the health-front at your house? (I'm hoping everyone is feeling a bit better.) When is your transfer? *EXCITING!*

@skinnycow: Hey, it could be something to keep an eye on ... a precursor to a pregnancy symptom, perhaps, as your hormones shirft?! 🤞 Mine are larger (34 DD) and roundish but are starting to slide down my body like a scoop of ice cream that has fallen off the cone onto warm sloping pavement... kinda sad. By 70, they will be at my waist. 🤣🤣🤣

@Kaohinani: DH feels better and I’ve still yet to get sick so we are calling it a win!

I’m currently sitting in the lab waiting room to get blood drawn for a progesterone level to make sure we are on for Friday transfer. 🤞

@foodiebee: I'm a small B and went up to a full D when pregnant and nursing. I miss my pregnant boobs!

@skinnycow: Totally sounds like a symptom to me

@Kaohinani: Fingers crossed that you’re right and it’s lucky weirdness!

@yellowbeach: Good luck with your levels!

@paranundrum: That phrase ("lunchroom in an asylum") sounds about right for what you described. Your chart looks beautiful so far. I'm REALLY hoping that THIS month is the month you get your BFP. 🤞

@Yellowbeach: What's the good news? (* I refuse to believe anything less than your Progesterone levels were AH-MAZING and Friday IS your day.) #Positivity #TeamYellowbeachBFP

@skinnycow: My breasts were awesome after DD. I was 28 when I had her. They started succumbing to gravity (hardcore) after I stopped BF-ing my DS at 35 years old. It's been a downward (PUN ABSOLUTELY INTENDED ) spiral since then.

@KarenBMe: Thank You! I am cautiously watching my BBT since I have NEVER had a dip BELOW my coverline before, although I know it can mean nothing or something all at the same time. (Once again, Schrodinger's D*mn Cat is in effect. 🤣🤣)

@Sams Mom: Wow, I'm impressed you noticed that this is my first month dropping below coverline! 🤗 On both my FF chart (using BBT from Tempdrop) AND my Smilereader chart (using BBT from oral temperatures), I dropped below my coverline. IDK if (at 6 dpo) it is an implantation dip or simply a corpus luteum dip and I'll incur another BFN. In any case, I'm keeping hopeful.

Incidentally, I have thought about you all morning long. (Not in a creepy-stalker way. 🤪🤣) I, actually, spoke of you with my husband during his lunch (* I hope that you do not mind) in that I explained we are, very much, going through similar experiences and on a homologous track with many comparable obstacles in trying for another baby. He is also very sympathetic. I told him EVERY month, I hope you get your BFP as much as I get mine, simply because I KNOW the pain you go though (I go through much of the same, of course) and I feel you deserve another baby so much. I, truly, believe you would be an [honestly] invested mother to both of your children and your cousin. #FingersToesEyesLegsCrossForaBFP

@Kaohinani: I don't mind you talking about me I tell my husband about you on occasion and he was quickly informed when you came back to HB I told him you're my danny devito twin.

I'm holding out that it is a drastic neon sign implantation dip.

Thank you for all the good vibes/juju/thoughts/prayers. I try to be optimistic every month, but then again I have almost a flashbulb memory of watching a news story about the Adopt a Snowflake embryo adoption program in the late 90s. So maybe it's always been in my cards, and I just need to come around to it.

@Sams Mom: I'll be Devito since height dictates it - 'cept I hope you told your husband that I'm female, not bald, not 74 years old and that I'm about 60 lbs less! 🤣 If I were, it may explain why it has taken so long to conceive! 🤣 (Mid-day "sillies" have hit for me. I'm exhausted and delirious 🤪 at this point and I have one client left this evening. )

Is "unbelievably thirsty" and "mid-day tired" possible non-symptom symptoms? Because honestly, ANYTHING can be a non-symptom due to progesterone and hormonal shifts, but I have been SO thirsty that I've gone through over a gallon of Propel waters and 2 cups of vegetable broth. I feel like I'm bloated and floating but I'm still thirsty. If this continues, I may get my blood sugar checked (* my dad is diabetic with LADA as were both grandfathers [one type 1, one type 2] and my great grandmere [type 2]). Anyway, just wondering if "thirsty" could also be on the list for, "I had that and 5 days later got my BFP."

@Kaohinani: I was sooooooo thirsty with this pregnancy. But didn't have any other symptoms really, which was off for me. I still don't have many symptoms except being tired AF off and on. Also, I just peeped your chart... that's an interesting dip below cover line. Must be an implantation dip. In my mind I've already decided you're pregnant.

Love following this board.
