Hellobee Boards

@Torchwood: Yay!! Congrats!! Hope you have an uneventful 9 months!

@Torchwood: oh my gosh honey I am feeling so hopeful for you!!!! Sending you the biggest bucket of baby dust in the world. I found out I was pregnant with my son on December 26th (it was the 25th still in the states but we were in Thailand). My son was due September 2nd and born September 7th.

I got my second egg on my fertility monitor today. Thought about trying to seduce my hubs but I am so exhausted and we got in a stupid fight with him acting like a disrespectful jerk head so I decided to wait until we are full on TTC (this month we are kind of winging it. We dtd O-4 it looks like so i am pretty sure this cycle will be a wash. I'm hoping for a high tomorrow then a low the next day and a nice 11-14 day luteal phase before my next MP. Then I would imagine we will be DTD around Jan 20 and POAS somewhere around early Feb.

Merry Christmas Bees!

@MrsMccarthy: what brand fertility monitor are you using?

@littlek: yeah it kind of brings out both the best and the worst of us. Sorry to hear you had a bit of that too.

@FaithFertility: I'm using the Clear Blue Easy and I gotta say I LOVE it. I bought one used on eBay two years ago expecting to use it to try and we got surprise knocked up on our honeymoon. I'm hoping it helps me this time because I'm nursing and since having my son my periods are a bit wonky. I try to temp but I keep losing my thermometer and I co sleep so I rarely sleep un interrupted and it messes with temps. The monitor has helped me to go above and beyond the usual OpKs which only track LH and give you less of a fertile window. We shall see how I fare.

@Torchwood: congrats!!! So exciting!! (My dd is a 9/14 bday, yay sept babies!!!! :))

I've been feeling off lately, including a crazy weird pain on Xmas Eve that made my husband worried I had an ectopic, so he sent me to get a test (like you could diagnose it through a pregnancy test?!). It was negative, which made sense since I was a measly 8dpo. Nausea has been knocking me off my feet.

Yesterday, I thought I saw a faint line but DH couldn't see it.

Today, I tested and had DH read the test. He told me he sees a second line!! It's faint, but there.

Fingers crossed we've got ourselves a sticky baby!!!!

@Mrs. Jump Rope: Fingers crossed for you! When I tested early last BFP, I got better results in the afternoon!

I promise to stop with the updates and move on to the september board (I'll come back to cheer!), but I had to manage at least one picture. This is last night and this morning. I was really surprised how much darker today's was.

@lunarsongbird: FIngers crossed all those symptoms are for a good reason! When are you going to test?

@Torchwood: I'm so excited for you! There is no denying that line!

I'm 8dpo, but I'm not sure what to expect since this is my first cycle and I haven't done TOO much research yet. Is that too early to experience symptoms? I'm planning on testing on NYE, maybe earlier if our local cloth diapering store is open. They sell much cheaper pregnancy tests.

My head still tells me that I'm crazy, because it would literally feel like a miracle if we were pregnant- we only have a 1% chance of conceiving per the RE and it would be on our first try. Seems a little much. Either way- I told DH I would be happy if AF made it's arrival or not. If AF arrives- the phantoms will probably dissipate into the shadows. If I get a BFP? Well...holy geeze. That would be....remarkable beyond words.

@Mrs. Jump Rope:

@Torchwood: yep definitely !!!@Mrs. Jump Rope: congrats, fingers crossed for you!

@Torchwood: congrats!!! So excited for you!!

@Mrs. Jump Rope: I see something.......can't wait for your update!!!!! Best wishes!

@Mrs. Jump Rope: sticky sticky thoughts sent your way doll.

@lunarsongbird: I know I've heard people talking about symptoms that early so fingers crossed although progesterone can be a right one for mind games! For what it's worth though, I try and avoid early testing now because it does no good, a BFN hurts but you still don't stop torturing yourself because there is always that 'what if it's just too early' thought! Af hurts but it also means CD1 and a fresh start. Would be lovely if it did happen first month for you after all that bad news you had.

@lunarsongbird: oh yes, I have to say I'm kinda glad I'm only 6dpo and testing would be just crazy

I finally got my first peak day on my CBFM on Tuesday (CD25....) and a positive OPK at the same time. If I O'd on the 25th (like everything says I should have) then our timing was really good this month. However, it's all for naught if my LP isn't longer than a few days this time
Fingers crossed that it at least lengthens this month, to give us any hope for future months.

@MrsMccarthy: Meant to reply to the sapphire thing. My wedding ring has sapphires, and I'd like to get some sort of simple band with kid'(s) birthstones, so it's rather handy that it might match!
