My update: CD # 25,I did ovulate on CD#13,I was suppose to ovulate on april 6th instead I ovulated on March 28th. I have some PMS symptoms already and according to my calculations AF is going to show up around the 13th or the 14th.That's so weird my cycles are becoming more regular after almost 18 yrs.
Ani- I take it as a good thing that cycles are cooperating better nowadays..maybe it will be the missing ingredient that was needed to help you on you TTC journey..I am hoping that your PMS symptoms are really early pregnancy symptoms, fingers crossed!
My update: Some spotting again today but it might be the start of my cycle..I'll have to monitor for the next day or so and KU(Ladies)P.. I cannot wait to see CD1, it is taking much longer than my last loss..I ordered my online O and preggo strips so they should be here soon and I have been taking my prenatals again, for about a week now..I am hoping that my O strips will work as well as the last time (on the 1st shot) but I hope to be pregnant again by the time summer is done, fingers crossed for me on this one!!
I don't think mine are early pregnancy symptoms b/c I have had tender breasts for a week now and that's too early for being a pregnancy symptom.
I do hope everyone had a wonderful weekend, I know it can be difficult on holidays...(TRIGGS??) I had a really great Easter w/Juliet, DH, & friends from church. Juliet helps make up for the fact that I had a CRAPPY and I mean CRAPPY end to the tww
Since I got the bfps w/Jackson & Juliet both in April (2009, 2010), I felt this was our lucky month. AF was due friday. She didn't come! Saturday, she didn't come! Sunday dawned, no AF and what I *thought* was a faint faint bfp on a crappy blue dye test (but a definite neg on a pink dye test). I told DH lets try not to get excited since its so thin & light and I have heard bad things about blue dye tests (didn't mean to buy that kind!). Bedtime comes and I am not feeling so well, and I am so hopeful it is m/s gearing up(with Juliet I was sick at night!)... well no, it wasn't
Stupid AF showed up like 10pm.I had tried to not be excited but who am I kidding, I really was already planning names

I really am OK; I want another baby so badly, but after having lost ^Jackson,^ I refuse to take Juliet for granted by feeling like she isn't enough... I hope that makes sense. I think I mean, sometimes I feel guilty receiving comfort, b/c I truly know how blessed and thankful I am for my sweet healthy baby girl!
So (((hugs)) and baby dust, I really hope April is a kinder month for us all!
TRIGS: TTC since Spring '08; 1 m/c@20wks, precious Jackson 8-06-09
May be TRIGS: TTCAL grad, baby Juliet born 12-10-10 Praise God!
My update is CD24 and I'm waiting for AF to show up. I'm not sure if I'm more excited or nervous or anxious yet. Two weeks ago I had an appt with my RE and he is not putting me on more clomid cycles. He says I should had gotten pregnant already after trying for 6 months. He says its probably because of my egg quality and because of my age he wouldn't do an IVF or IUI so my only option is taking the shots to produce more eggs and see what that produces and DTD and hope for the best. He said I might have a better chance at producing a quality egg by going this route. And then we go from there. His other suggestion was using an egg donor but we have our son already and we don't have the money for that either. Our ins pays for the meds but not egg donors. So basically we have one shot, literally and figuratively, left on our journey. I am just so torn. I know I'm 43 but I still feel young and I really would like to give my son a brother or sister.
Good luck to everyone! We need to hear some good news.
Ani - I am glad your cycles seems to be more normal! Also, lets hope you are wrong and the tender breasts mean something.
Vybe - I hope your cycle comes on soon so you can get back to it! I am sure the OPK's will help as much as before and truley hope this time will come quick!
Beck- Those stupid blue dye tests! I had the same problem a couple of months ago. I went to bed all happy thinking that I would get another BFP in the morning...no, it was just a stupid fake line! I am sorry you had to deal with the disspointment of aunt flo.
Perry - I will be praying something will work out for you and can continue your journey.
Pray - I know you havent posted yet but I am thinking of you!
My update (TRIGGS) I am hanging here cause I love all you ladies and it just dosent feel right to share with a different group. I for some reason took another test yesterday in the afternoon and got yet another darker BFP. So I guess this is for real lol. I have a sonogram schedualed for mid may- its just a waiting game now. I am not a very patient person so waiting to hear the heartbeat will be tough. I never did get to see it with the last pregnancy. But ill make it somehow!
Good luck & baby dust to all!
TTC 1st baby.
Ani-So glad you ovulated and so early! Good luck!
Vybe-Hoping this is your actual cycle starting, so you can start ttc soon.
Becky-I'm so sorry your Easter turned into a sad one. I wish you would have seen a BFP. Sending hugs.
Perry147-Wishing you lots of luck with whatever you decide to do.
Melbrody-Thanks for thinking of me. I have been thinking of you as well and wondering how it was going. I hate you have to wait so long for the ultrasound. I'm sending you some time flying vibes!
Mel- I am so happy that this last test was also positive, lol, you sound like me, I was testing a lot too to make sure I wasn't dreaming! I wish I was still preggo for many reasons but I wish I could of been preggo at the same time as a fellow board member seems like it would be neat to have someone to go through it with..maybe we will all catch up to you this month
BTW when was your last cycle??Pray- Sending your hubby tons of wanting to keep trying vibes so that the two of you may keep going on your TTC journey..you are in my thoughts and prayers Pray..

I wanted to amend a little what I said about wanting to be preggo at the same time as a fellow board member...I did not want to hurt anyone's feelings in any way, since both Michelle and I were indeed pregnant at the same time..what I meant by that comment is that I can't seem to stay pregnant very long and I would of liked to be..it came out wrong and while reading it now I thought it sounded bad, sorry it was not my intention..
Also Ladies, I wanted to ask you girls if you would like to become friends on FB..I feel close enough to a lot of you and would like to get to know you more..if it interests any of you let me know

Vybe - The first day of my LMP was March 11th. So I am 4 weeks by the doctors count. I have been suffering a nasty cold I cannot get rid of!! Stupid low immune system lol. And I did not take what you said in any weird context so you shouldnt feel bad at all. Dont worry we all share your feeling on this stuff. And yes I would love to be friends on Facebook.
Thank goes for anyone here who would like to be friends! You can find me under Melissa Dennis in Texas. (Dennis is my married name) I only ask that you not mention my pregnancy just yet cause its still under wraps lol.
TTC 1st baby.
My update...the bleeding from m/c stopped a few days ago. Had a D&C so there was not much to begin with. Hoping AF comes asap and we can start our testing to find out what is wrong with me
Then we can move on and start trying again a month after that. We have an appt with a doc to start figuring out what tests to do and when to do them on the 19th...looking forward to that to give me a sense of hope.TTC 1st baby.
TTC 1st baby.
