Hellobee Boards

@Applesandbananas: yes! I remember hating it when I first heard it, but it grew on me.

I'm really hoping to join you guys this month, but it's not looking great. I tend toward 30-day cycles, and my period still isn't back after my miscarriage. I've been spotting for three days now, and it picked up a little tonight, so I'm really hoping my period starts tomorrow.
I will be charting and using opks once my period is over. Will probably aim for every day sex when I have fertile cm.

@mrschickpea: thanks for the and the positivity I need them both! Hoping for a late implantation, but I'm wary after my labor day mc. I had blood drawn this morning and they're supposed to call me tomorrow. also! I clicked on your profile--Austin is my hometown! agh, I miss it so much.

@aprilfool: it's relaxing even to read that you're relaxed cool.

New to HB! Hi everyone!

Cycle Day: 15
TTC Cycle #: 5
Ovulation & POAS date: 10/29, 11/12
Baby #: 1!!!
Your plan this month: Saw OB earlier in cycle had ultrasound to see if things look ok and put me at ease (they did), charting symptoms on Ovia -- just ordered OPKs in case this month doesn't work out.
For Fun: What are you thankful for this year? Getting married and the luxury of trying for our first!

@AprilFool: yay for being relaxed - good on you! I'm hoping to do the same this month, won't be much good company otherwise. And anyway, enjoy your holiday - Hawaii sounds dreamy! Never underestimate the power of vitamin D & swimming in the sea

oooh yall I am loving all the lite n' breezy approaches, it is *really* inspiring. much more so than people in real life saying to calm down

@flowergarden: welcome!! congratulations on your marriage.

@MrsChickPea: I know, I heard their traffic is now second worst in the country after LA. I'm coming home for Christmas and all I want is to be able to find a fucking parking spot at Peter Pan Mini Golf.

@silva: hope it arrived in full force

@aprilfool: so great! which islands are you going to? hope you see a Honu

@marley: @nutella: thanks for the good thoughts

@pwnstar: no judgments here and don't feel guilty about POAS!

Thanks all for the welcomes and congratulations! Loved our wedding day -- and having all my supportive family & friends around made me want to add a new baby to the mix even more!
I can tell this is a very supportive group and I'm glad to have y'all by my side through this, and try to give my support as well!

@LCTBQE: eagerly awaiting your results!! hope everything works out for the best.
@PWNSTAR: I'm working on the not feeling guilty aspect of a lot of things! Definitely don't feel guilty about testing if it helps you to keep calm!

@flowergarden: @marley: I have three awesome mama friends who are wonderfully supportive and can't wait for me to get a BFP! But is there really such as thing as too much support when you're TTC? Yeah, I didn't think so either!

Also new to HB. So hello all!

@LCTBQE: Hope you had good news today!

@KathrynElizabeth828: welcome and good luck this month

I got a very positive OPK this morning (CD 20) so hope all our timing worked out for the best.

@MrsB2012: @wheres_c: @KathrynElizabeth828:

@Shizaz: pro tip! Wish I'd done that too.

I heard back from my OB--she says numbers are normal and everything is a go ️
I asked what my hcg count was and the number seemed low for 15DPO to me (70) but she was totally unconcerned, she said they would treat this as a normal positive. I might go in next week for another beta, and they'll see me at 6.5 weeks for a first sonogram assuming all goes well.

@LCTBQE: CONGRATULATIONS!! So exciting!! Are you feeling any symptoms?

Question: does anyone get cramping (lower right ovary area always for me) almost 12 days before AF continuing for about a week? I've gotten the cramps for the last year or so, so I don't think it's from being preg Never happened when I was younger, but since I turned 30....blah. Doctor wasn't concerned but it doesn't make much sense to me...I'm only 6dpo-ish and cramps have been going on for 2 days. TIA for thoughts!

@LCTBQE: yay!!!

@LCTBQE: yay! Congratulations!

Still no period today. Womp womp.

@LCTBQE: so exciting, I'm so happy to hear that!

@mrschickpea: It makes me so sad when I hear people questioning someone else when they're going to have babies. I admit, I probably asked someone at one time or another. It wasn't until I started trying and I joined boards like this where I realized how common it is to have fertility issues. Or not even issues, but it sometimes taking longer. 2 of my really good friends had struggles ( one took 3 years, and one took just over 2 years) and I've seen them both in tears when people ask when they'll have kids. Unfortunately, people just don't realize the struggle!
