Hellobee Boards

@CYNESWITH- Yes and no. Right now his platform he works on is going through so many changes its crazy. But that can be said with much of the Navy now. Anywho...the first 12 years of his career he never would have imagined having to go outside of the continental US due to what he does. More specifically his job and the squadrons he can go to are all in one place, where we are now. There is one other squadron where technically he can go and do a little different job but people who does what he does can go there. Well they are super low manned and are sending everyone and anyone who is due to rotate soon there. Its in Hawaii. Seeing as for the last 12 years its been nothing but up here for orders, plus with his DD being up here, we plan on staying up here once he retires. So last year we bought a house. Plus we have more animals than we would be allowed to take. In addition I have a good gov job here where I know I could not find one in HI. ALSO...the command he would go to if he is indeed forced to HI deploys on average 290 days a year, plus when you are home you basically are able to go at any min. So just weighing out everything...for as much as it would suck its more benificial to keep me here. Because he will be gone sooooo much there anyways, would not have to worry about what we would do with our cats/dogs, or about renting or selling the house. To give everything up for a few years just to come back in a few years. If it was some where IN the continental US it would be much more do-able. Just too many factors with it being in HI.

@CYNESWITH- Aw your so sweet thank you! I know we can make it work whatever happens. The first few years we were together were tough seeing as I was in that Navy then too. So we have made it through before. I just dont want to wait 4 more years to have a baby/s. Normally his deployement time is not TOO bad, or I was just use to it (gone 1/2 the year), but now with settling down this is the LAST command I would want him to go to. Like I said if it were anywhere else we would be fine. But he will be gone all the time and LUCKY to be home for 3 mos out of the year so its REALLY not worth us giving up what we have established for that. Really, really praying for some good luck and news the next couple of month. Poor DH is so stressed about it. Not that I am not. Heck this is the first time I have talked about it really to anyone but him. But I am just really trying to stay strong and posative and not worry about it until we have a reason to worry. Just hate not knowing!

@hellobeeboston: Good luck to you too! I was going to reply, but the thread was already on the next page.

I have not tried anything on my own except for Royal Jelly...it seems innocuous enough.

But I responded well to the Clomid besides my lining...I took Estrogen for 3 days before O to thicken it.

YAY! I finally get to post on these threads! Hubby and I are officially TTC! So for us, it's Cycle 1. Very excited and hopeful!

2 dpo. this is going to be a looong 2WW. ha ha! I'm trying not to get my hopes up too high, and trying not to think about it (yea right). I'm glad I can talk about this on these boards with ladies that understand!

@MrsApricot: Yay! So exciting! I'm in the same boat as you, cycle 1 and excited to post on the TTC posts! What CD day are you? I'm curious if we're cycle twins. I'm on CD5 at the moment.

@Mrs Green Grass: That's a good idea to not talk about your symptoms. I think I'll try that this month. Last month it started to become a joke between the hubs and I because every little thing could be an early pregnancy symptoms. This time I don't want to talk about it at all. But like you said, you can't stop your brain from thinking about it.

@Mrs Green Grass: I'm going to try that too! I talk my husband's EAR off about "maybe-symptoms", so I'll try to keep all the craziness in my head and pretend it isn't there

I'm on cycle 3. BDing this week. Should ovulate any day now. I'm feeling good about it. *Fingers crossed*

Thanks for the welcome, everyone! I'm VERY excited. And a little scared, but mostly excited. Probably won't happen this month, since hubby and I have conflicting work schedules which will minimize time for BDing, but the point is we're officially TTC, so hopefully I won't be TOO disappointed if AF makes an appearance in a couple weeks.

@Adira: I'm a little ahead of you, then, so not quite cycle twins...cycle sisters maybe. LOL! I'm on CD 13 right now, usually ovulate around CD 11 or 12.

I'm on CD15 and hoping to ovulate in the next couple of days! I've been charting this month but no opks. It was just too hard for me to hold my pee and not drink as much because I run a lot and get wicked headaches if I'm not hydrated.

Hoping for BFPs for everyone!

hmm..how reliable are blue dye tests?

@hilsy85: this is cycle 3, so I've had a fair share of evaps (sigh!) but I'm honestly scared to death about this one. it's 9 dpo evening - I posted it here to see what other people thought, http://www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test-gallery/image.php?galleryid=12381 , what do you think? I don't want to get excited and then tomorrow have a negative again, haha! ><

And you weren't using FMU right?

sorrycharlie- Looks positive to me, but maybe try a different test tomorrow.. good luck!

thanks ladies! ugh I feel like I'm 5 and it's Christmas Eve!

I'm going to join! We officially started "NTNT" but really, doesn't that mean you're trying? We won't be charting or anything just yet.

So I guess we're cycle #1 and I'm on CD9. My cycles have been all over the map since going off the pill, from 35-58 days. Yikes.

I got a BFP today on a digital after 2 faint on blue dye! So don't discount the blue dyes! I'm in shock still - good luck to everyone else testing soon!!

@sorrycharlie: Congrats!!!!!!!!

Sorrycharlie - congrats!
I am still waiting for AF to show up, 9 months after having LO. It's really frustrating to know that we are not even in the game. Time is of the essence due to my age. This must be the only time ever that I have been keen for AF !
