Hellobee Boards

@pwnstar: totally see it!! congrats again!

@tiramisu: thank you! I hope you get good news soon too! I have the same worry. My DD is 3 and also, I'm no spring chicken.

@pwnstar: I thought I was one-and-done until a few months ago. Now I feel like I wasted all this time.

Well, I think I'm out this month. Just got back from the doctor and she's confident I'm not ovulating based on my temps. She gave me rx's for Clomid and Provera, so have to discuss next steps with my husband tonight.

Good luck everyone!

@Nutella: sorry AF showed up.

@marley: thanks lovely. I'm just glad I didn't have to wait forever, I don't love the longer and more random LP behaviour that's happening with my cycle this time but I feel it's all part of body re-settling or something.

@mrschickpea: thanks dear. I'm going to bake brownies today - feeling very average, as I had a stomach virus yesterday too! So a bit more fragile I am thinking it might take a bit of time for my next bfp...don't know why, just a feeling. I guess that's ok, but a bit sad about it obvs.

@Nutella: my worst-case scenario: number went from 69 to 187 in 4 days, which is a 66-hr doubling rate, which is not good enough to be viable, but since it's still rising, it'll take a while to resolve itself. I had more betas drawn today to confirm, but I can tell it's not getting better because my FRERs look the same this morning as they did last week, plus I still have zero symptoms (which my OB says is "neither here nor there" but I don't believe). I'll get the new results tomorrow afternoon and they'll tell me if they recommend the pills or passing naturally or another D&C. So now I sit and wait to miscarry. I cried silently at my desk all afternoon and the entire ride home on the MTA. This sounds incredibly bitter and ugly, but I knew this was a trash pregnancy from the start and I just wish it was fucking over with already.

@Kitkat: good for you for going in--I think many people wait longer than you did, which is a shame. don't feel like you have to wait for your next appointment if you have questions, just give her a call. xx

@Kitkat: I'm bad at asking questions too. I have a doctors appointment on the 20th, I'm afraid of bad news. I'm going to have to write everything down before I go in too. I'm worried that I am not ovulating, but hoping we've just had bad timing so far.

@LCTBQE: I'm so sorry. I hate that you're going through this. Please don't worry about being *shiny and happy*. We do that so much in other aspects of our lives that you don't need to do it here too.

@LCTBQE: I'm so sorry sweet. I don't even know what to say, it's so so shitty for sure. And I am sorry if you felt that way from the start - I truly believed you were out of the woods

I also agree with others that you shouldn't feel bad about sharing here - Lord knows we all put on brave faces in real life, so feel free to share here.

I'm sending heaps of hugs your way. Thinking of you xx

@LCTBQW: Big big sigh. So sorry to hear. Sending hugs through the interwebs. And I agree, don't feel like you need to edit your emotions.

@PWNSTAR: Congrats! When did you start suspecting or did you ever? Were you shocked? I could never not tell my husband in a million years. I feel like it's a special time to share with him. You could always still give the onesie on your anniversary.

My date is quickly approaching and the only symptoms I really have are the sensitive boobs and the cramps at night...probably not my month since none are really new. Had a headache today but I think I may be getting sick.

I started a new job today so I'm telling myself it's better that I'm not preg!

GL to everyone! Anyone feeling any early symptoms?

@LCTBQE: fuck. I'm so sorry.

@Silva: my thoughts exactly.

I'm definitely out, three days of medium flow is definitely not IB, and must be an early cycle. Not surprising considering how recently I finished my last pill pack.

The first two days I was hopeful, but now I'm in the early hours of day 4 of a new cycle. Next test: Dec. 2nd if my cycles are 25 days. I'll reconsider my testing date once I ovulate.

@flowergarden: New jobs are exciting! Congrats!

I was hopeful this cycle would be successful because the timing worked out surprisingly well. And until the day I got a peak fertility indicator on the CBEFM, I didn't think it would be a successful cycle because I hadn't seen any high fertility indicators leading up to a peak fertility indicator, and DH was leaving for a week-long business trip (I was pretty sure I would O while he was gone. Which is what happened last cycle). The day he was scheduled to fly out, the monitor jumped from low fertility the day before to peak fertility, so I put the moves on my exhausted SO at 0-dark-thirty and hoped for the best. (There are other good timing indicators too, but that's one of the big ones.)

I think I have been symptom spotting from about, oh, 3 dpo?! *blush* I have been gassy, bloated, and crampy, and this weekend, my low back started aching and I just generally felt like crap. I am not as much shocked as I am . . . relieved? Maybe that's not quite the right word, but as an older mama, I know time isn't on my side. Frankly, I was worried that if I didn't get knocked up my first cycle off BC, the withdrawal from which can trigger O, that it wouldn't happen at all, or certainly not before my self-imposed time cut-off. Now, of course, I am only slightly consumed with the line getting darker and making sure everything is okay.
