Hellobee Boards

Hi ladies! Sorry I dropped off the face of the Earth. I took AF kinda hard and returned to work (summer school) this week. Currently at my parents house and plan to start charting again Monday.

On a side note, I paid $10 for a psychic reading from Jenny Renny. Let's see if it comes true!

@sslm: how are you feeling?

@jojogirl: fingers crossed!

@jojogirl: this was my reading: Hi Alison,
Your reading reveals that your BFP news comes the end of August/beginning of September from a cycle that began in July. The pregnancy shows as girl/boy twins and their EDD/birth date is referenced the 7th of May 2013 and the 22nd of April 2013.

I figure for $10 it was worth the try. Maybe it'd give me something to look forward to each cycle.

@alison206: OMG that's this cycle!!!! And TWINS!?! I googled her and want to read on other boards how accurate her predictions are I want to do it but am scared she's going to say 'you'll get your bfp in 2014 after 3 m/cs' or something.

Boy and girl twins would make me so happy! I just want my BFP!

@JoJoGirl: Lurking and wanted to pop in! Jenny Renny predicted my sticky baby bfp, and she didn't tell me I'd have 2 early m/cs....When I got pg the third time, with this healthy baby, needless to say I was a nervous wreck, just basically convinced I would lose it any minute. I emailed her and asked her if she could predict miscarriages, and she said that she doesn't do that, because she would never want to be wrong, but if she sees an EDD, then she sees that as a good sign. So I tried to make myself feel better about this pregnancy by telling myself that she didn't see EDD for the first two which is why she never mentioned those BFPs, but she saw one for this one:)

Just for everyone else's reference - she told me back at the end of 2011 that I would get pg on my March cycle with a boy. I got pg on that cycle (after two early m/cs), and I got a "birth reading" which basically confirms gender and tells you a little about the birth. She then said I was actually having a girl, which was correct - we found out a couple of weeks later. However my birth story is off bc I'm getting induced early, and she said I'd go late. Whatevs - she was right about the important shiz;)

@JoJoGirl: I hate your chart too. What is up this month??

@jojogirl - i had a few wonky temps too from 1) sleeping with my hair wet.. 2)being too hot while i slept with no a/c or window open... 3) terrible sleep after fighting with hubs... lol... but the past few days i made sure to set an alarm and wakeup at the same time to just stick the thermometer in my mouth to take my temps... i hope you get your CH soon!!!

@JoJoGirl: Wow, FINALLY!!!! At least you're already half-way through the TWW though!

@Adira: @Smurfette: Woohoo!

@jojogirl YAY FOR CH's!!!!!!!

@JoJoGirl: I can totally understand that meh feeling. That's kinda how I feel this cycle. My big appointment with the gyn is in September so I just keep thinking about that instead of this cycle. I think it's a defense mechanism that we do, to kinda prepare for if/when AF shows. Anything exciting going on for you next cycle, is that why you are thinking about it??

@Grace: Hahah that's what my friend said. Unfortunately, it really probably won't happen for me this cycle. My husband is out of town when I will likely O. Haha. I think that's contributing to my Meh-ness of this cycle. How you doing?

@jojogirl you're not out until DIABLO shows up!!! but i can relate with the meh feeling. honestly, ttc is about timing... and i sometimes hate that there's really no control. you can do all the right things, bd with your hubs all around the time of O and still no bfp. but i'm thankful for this supportive community!!

@JoJoGirl: Well I hope you don't need to use your CBEFM and you'll get a BFP this month, but if you do, please let me know how you like it! How long have you been TTC again?

I'm thinking about getting one... I honestly don't even know how they work. Lol.

@dharmainitiative: @JoJoGirl: I'm okay. I read something recently (either on Hellobee or somewhere else - I can't remember), about not wishing away this time. There is stuff to enjoy now that will be harder to do when kids come. So I'm trying to make an effort to enjoy the present, rather than waiting for a BFP. Made me feel better.

@dharmainitiative: Do you feel that it's too early to talk to the doc? I'm planning to make an appointment in Sept, which will be the beginning of cycle 9. I'm hoping that I can at least get bloodwork done. I figure it's a simple thing so hopefully they'll do it before the 1 year.

@dharmainitiative: Oh! Haha i thought you meant technically you don't know how it works. It's sort of like an OPK but using FMU every day, and you put the stick in the machine and it analyzes the result for you. An OPK gives you say 12 hrs notice of O while the monitor gives you 5-6 days. It gives results in the way of "Low" "high" and "peak" fertility days (Peak - O day or the day before) so you can plan BD a little better.

@Grace: @dharmainitiative: I don't know if it's different with PCOS, but I saw my doctor last month about something unrelated and he said insurance will only cover bloodwork if I've been trying for a year (!?) or am over 35 and trying for 6 months. I had no idea! I feel like people get bloodwork done all the time, maybe that's just in my state?! Anyway I'll be 35 in December (BOO) so he said if I'm not pregnant by November we'll start getting ready for tests and whatnot. I was a little disappointed, I thought I'd be able to have bloodwork done before that.

@Grace: I know, right? I had never heard that before.
