The TTC Thread!!!

[BarceloMayaPalaceBride]

I know there are a few of us who are TTC! I thought we could start this thread to see where everyone is on their journey of TTC!

[BarceloMayaPalaceBride]

As for me, my period is due any day but I'm PRAYING it stays AWAY! If/when it comes I am going to start charting my temp. My breasts are very sore, I have strange cramps, but most of all my back is killing me! It's so torturous that AF symptoms are the same as pregnancy symptoms!!! GEEEZZ!!!! We are enjoying baby dancing and will be more than happy to try again if this isn't our month.

[flyerso6]

my story isn't as exciting as others. But I have to wait for my period before we can TTC again. Everyday seems like a month, its been almost 7 weeks since my D&C and nothing.. grr

I can only imagine how hard it is playing the "waiting game" I hope your period comes soon so you can start trying again! :)

[Danielle9608]

We are trying to conceive now too.

[Brian's Bride]

I'm on my seventh month of charting (didn't realize I'd been doing it this long)! And I just finished my second cycle on Clomid. I'm on day 11 and we're baby dancing on days 10, 12, 14, 16, and 18. 1 day down, 4 to go!

Yes, the wait seems to be the worst part of this whole process!

[WBandMe]

I won't be TTC for awhile but good luck to all you mommies-to-be!

[SerendipityCrafts]

Good luck ladies.

DH and I keep trying and trying :bbredface: but nuthin yet :rofl: (ain't going to happen either).

[BarceloMayaPalaceBride]

So, AF should be starting today or tomorrow. UGH! I snuck in a pregnancy test last night juuuuussst in case, but it was negative (not a suprise) On day 3 of my cycle I am going to have the FSH blood test done, and on the 21st day will go back to have my progestrone levels checked and make sure I'm ovulating. I'm really nervous to find out the results, but if there are any issues we want to know ASAP. That's my update!

Did you ever take a OPK?

[saltyveruca]

Well I have finally found insurance that covers maternity, so we have the go-ahead to start trying as soon as we're ready! But for insurance purposes (the deductible and out of pocket, specifically) we're going to try to fit most of the pregnancy into one calendar year. So if I got pregnant like today, I'd deliver in early 2010 and start over on the deductible and out of pocket.

We are still not 100% sure we're ready anyway, so waiting until at least late fall to start trying works out just fine. But this is a HUUUUUUUGE (seriously, you have no idea) step in the baby direction! :cloppy:

[starsthrumysoul]

Hehe, well I am ALMOST TTC. FH and I had originally planned on going of the pill once we got married - not necessarily TTC, just not trying not to conceive! BUT we recently decided to change our plans to going of the pill and actively TTC when I get a full-time job in my field. I'm anxious to start, but want to make sure my finances are in order.

Anyway, about 3 months ago I interviewed for a position for a school-based chemical dependency counselor (my degree is in school counseling, but that's pretty close!). Anyway, they LOVED me, but already had someone in-house who was interested in the job, so it was given to her. Well I got a call today saying that there's another opening, and that they really want me to take it!! I'm going in to meet with them later in the week - I'm really hoping it will amount to a full-time position!!! If so, I'll go off the pill and we'll start TTC!!!

We had a family birthday party this weekend for my youngest cousin, aged 14. We have one baby in the family (the daughter of one of my other cousin's - her name is Kelsey) so now the family's really starting to get baby-fever (my mom, some of my other aunts, etc.). I thought I'd share a cute story - Kelsey is about 18 months, and is SUCH a daddy's girl. She has been calling him daddy ever since she could talk, but about a month ago started calling him 'mommy.' It's hilarious - because he gets so annoyed, and tries so hard to get her to call him daddy, and she won't.

P.S. Good luck to all you TTC ladies on the board!!!!!!!

[BarceloMayaPalaceBride]

The timing was off so I am TRYING to start charting when my period starts. If my period doesn't start today then I have to wait another month before I can do the FSH & progesterone test because day 3 will fall on the weekend. OR if it holds off a few more days, then the 3rd day would fall on Monday. I have my thermometer and OPK's alllll ready :)

Keep us posted on what happens! It's so exciting when the time comes to actually start trying for a family! :) I love it!!!!

[Goin2thechapel]

Funny that this gets brought up now...My husband and I just started TTC in February! I temp daily and I'm right now 9DPO and still waiting to take a pregnancy test!

Good luck and Baby dust to all :)

That's great you got the OK with your insurance! That was the 1st thing we took care of before we even considered trying! All the best to you!!:)

[BarceloMayaPalaceBride]

Day 29 and still no AF.....................:upsidown: I refuse to take a test for atleast 2 more days LOL!!!!!

[Danielle9608]

Yea I would wait a little longer you don't want to get a false negative. Good luck I hope this is your month!

:cloppy:

Actually, if today was your last period you would be due early December 2009...so depending on your period and ovulation, you still have a chance to have an '09 baby and get that wonderful tax write off :)!!!!!

[BarceloMayaPalaceBride]

11:00pm on day 30 and still no AF..................:bbeek:

[BarceloMayaPalaceBride]

AF came this morning:ooh: I'm actually really excited because it fell PERFECTLY, so I can have the FSH test on Monday and the progesterone test on March 27th!!!!(Friday) wheew the timing worked out EXACTLY!!!! YAY!!! It's funny because I have been waiting for the 1st day of my cycle to start charting my BBT, but have been playing around with it the past few days. My temp dropped considerably from yesterday to today and I knew for sure my period would come. An hour later here it is. LOL My last 3 cycles have been 28 days, 24 days, then 31 days. I think I am ovulating earlier than I think. I can't wait to use the OPK this month too! We are having SO much fun trying for this baby!!!! I won't mention exact website names but I'm SO glad I joined a TTC forum. Just like the girls here at OW, except theres THOUSANDS TTC just like we are!! :) The best to you all!!!!!

[Goin2thechapel]

I love the TTC forum that I belong to....Kinda keeps me somewhat sane during my 2WW.

We're actually at 12DPO and my temp jumped back up but I got a BFN this morning :( I'll wait not for 2 more days and see what happens!

Danielle, Good luck to you too!!!

[starsthrumysoul]

I LOVE this thread!! I'm just waiting for the day that one of you pops on to announce that a baby's on the way!

SO I went in for an interview on Thursday. It went FANTASTIC!!! It really couldn't have gone better.

FH's aunt works there, and she is the one who let me know that they were going to ask me in for a second interview. Well then they called Friday and asked me to come in again on Monday (tomorrow!) to meet with my soon-to-be boss's boss's boss! (get that??) Well TODAY FH's dad (his aunt's brother) told me that SHE said that a 3rd interview pretty much mean's that they're offering me a job and ready to talk salary :) So we told his parents today that if I get it, we'll stop trying NOT to conceive :-P

I'm just SO excited - first to start my career, and second to start a family!! And once we start TTC, I'm going to have to get a dictionary to be able to understand the TTC jargon :-P I've tried to guess, but my guesses cannot possibly be right! (e.g., I'm guessing that "bfp" does NOT mean "big freakin pregnancy"!) :-P lol...

LOL it means big fat positive, close though! Glad your interview went well :)

[Dani]

i thought it was bare foot pregnant! lol

[Moon.Dust.]

We're not actively TTC, but we're not stopping it from happening either.
We're close enough now to the wedding where I won't be too sad if I got a BFP -it's my own thing and nothing really to do with whether people will talk or anything like that.

I've been taking a multi with folic acid for the last couple of months now. We... just.... haven't really had.. time to.... try much lately. :bbredface:

[Goin2thechapel]

Good luck to you!!!!!!!!! I'll be keeping my fingers crossed! I hope we ALL get a BFP in 09!!! ;)



YAY, I hope so too!!!

I think March will be the month and I'm looking at a Christmas Baby...DH's birthday is Dec. 22nd so he's excited for that...PLUS we'll be able to write the baby off on our taxes...LMAO...

My temp dropped and AF is due this week...Soooo, On to the next cycle!

[Brian's Bride]

2WW's are the worst! I'm on day 18 and had a BFP on my OPK test yesterday so we danced. Do another dance tonight and then it's the looooong wait. I HATE that part!

[Danielle9608]

I am on day 12 still waiting for that BFP on my opk.

[June_Bride2008]

Let me say...when it happens this baby will be one miracle. :) We went to the doctor on Friday. She is testing my progestrone and estrogen this coming week. 20th I'm having a hysterosalpingogram. How exciting!!!! Hopefully I can get this baby coming soon.

My hubby is starting to take Clomid this week. His sperm rate is low so she thinks that will improve it. :)

[Brian's Bride]

Clomid's a wonder drug, it seems!

[BarceloMayaPalaceBride]

I hope you girls BOTH get your BFP OPK's!!!! :) I just had my blood drawn this am to test my FSH levels....I'm a little nervous for some reason, but will be relieved to know where I'm at!

[June_Bride2008]

I just wish we didn't have to go through the problems that we are. I hate it.

[BarceloMayaPalaceBride]

YAY!!!! I got my test results and my FSH levels are alll good to go!!! That includes my estrogen levels, and thyroid!!!! I go back on the 26th to check my progesterone and make sure I ovulated!!! Very good news!!!!!!!!!!

[Brian's Bride]

Yay for you Andrea!

I go in tomorrow to have my blood drawn for my progesterone level. They will probably call me early next to let me know how it was. Last month it was "good." This month I think I will ask what the specific number was.

Thank you!! I forget, have you had your FSH levels tested?

[Danielle9608]

I am 4 DPO. Now just waiting. Ugg the waiting is the worst.

[Brian's Bride]

We're on similar cycles. I'm 7 DPO and also waiting...

[Brian's Bride]

Thank you!! I forget, have you had your FSH levels tested?

I did not have my FSH levels tested. The only thing I have tested is my progesterone. I should be hearing about that today or tomorrow to know if I indeed ovulated, although my OPK said I was going to around day 17 or 18.

[Goin2thechapel]

Oh god!!! FF actually change me to CD 33....I think I MAY have ovulated this past weekend...And baby danced every single night to cover our bases :)

[Danielle9608]

Wow that is awesome! I hope this is our month ladies!

[Goin2thechapel]

I know! A bunch of December OneWed babies!!!

[FFC]

Ya'll are going to be near delivering when Matt and I start TTC. OmG I can't wait till I can be in your shoes now... Let's gooooo September!

[Brian's Bride]

Well, it won't be my month. I just had some spotting, same as last month. How depressing... :rain: It's only CD 25 and before Clomid I had 30 day cycles. I think I'm going to try going without meds next month and see how it goes.

[Danielle9608]

I'm sorry chica :( I wish you ALL the best next cycle! Hang in there, we're all here for ya!!! I'm WAITING to O. I'm nervous because I've never in my life actually "confirmed" that I O....I also hate waiting!!!

[BarceloMayaPalaceBride]

I am 4 DPO. Now just waiting. Ugg the waiting is the worst.

I hope you catch that eggie this month chica!!! :)

[Moon.Dust.]

AF has decided to grace us with her presence, so it's a no this month... :irked:

[BarceloMayaPalaceBride]

Awww, That's no fun! I didn't even know you were trying! :)

the way we're looking at it is "we're NOT trying to stop it" :innocent:

[Danielle9608]

I don't think this was my month either, my temperature went back down :( I guess only time well tell though, still over a week before I can take a HPT.

[BarceloMayaPalaceBride]

I'm sorry...:( Maybe it will spike up? Ya never know. STILL waiting to O....Nervous because I've never confirmed it's actually "happened"."

[Brian's Bride]

Warning: Long vent

So get this. I know none of you are on fertility meds but I am so upset with my doctor. First of all, she's a gynecologist who will prescribe Clomid but I don't think she actually understands much about fertility. I talked to her nurse yesterday (who consulted with the doctor) and I told her that I O'd on day 18 but got spotting on days 24 and 25, with my period coming on day 26. So it's a super-short cycle. The nurse wanted to know "what my final request would be." I said, I need to make my cycle longer. The current luteal phase is too short for a fertilized egg to implant. A typical healthy luteal phase is AT LEAST ten days. So she calls the doctor, calls me back and says, "How are you figuring out you're ovulating? Temperature or OPK?" I said BOTH. And they both correspond correctly. She says, "Well, the doctor doesn't want her patients doing either thing. And because you have a 26 day cycle, you MUST have ovulated on day 12. The doctor recommends you dance on days 8, 10, 12, 14, and 16." I'm stunned because my temperature and OPK didn't lie! For both cycles it happened on day 18. I cannot wait to have my last cycle with this doctor and then get referred to a specialist who can actually help me. I already sent an email consult request to the fertility group that I will be recommended to, just so I won't have to wait extra time to get an appointment.

How can my current doctor ask me to be uninformed and that I simply MUST be wrong about when I ovulated??! Maybe if I used one method or the other, but to use BOTH?!? Whatever. I'm so over her. And I will continue to chart and use an OPK for when I have an appointment with someone who will actually take the time and listen to my concerns and we can work together to get to our goal!

Thanks for reading! :)

[FFC]

How frustrating. That's like my heartburn doctor telling me I'm getting too comfortable with my eating and my heartburn is my imagination :irked: I'm irked for you! That's rediculous - I'm going to guess you are with Kaiser? Not trying to start a battle of the medical fields... it just sounds like the run around myself and my coworker get with them.

Hang in there! I hope you can get in to the specialist fast!

[Danielle9608]

Oh Breckan - I am so sorry. I know first hand (not about fertility meds) when doctors just refuse to listen. I mean you spend everyday, all day in your body and nobody knows it better then you and then they spend maybe 5 minutes with you and come to the conclusion that you are wrong. It so frustrating! I hope you get to see that specialist very soon!

[Brian's Bride]

No, it's not Kaiser. Although I can't believe I have only met this doctor once for my annual exam. She told me to phone her for the Clomid and then when I call for questions I only talk to her nurse.

It's Aurora Medical Group for those in SE Wisconsin. Ugh.

[Brian's Bride]

Oh Breckan - I am so sorry. I know first hand (not about fertility meds) when doctors just refuse to listen. I mean you spend everyday, all day in your body and nobody knows it better then you and then they spend maybe 5 minutes with you and come to the conclusion that you are wrong. It so frustrating! I hope you get to see that specialist very soon!

Thanks! I've just never experienced a medical run-around before, thank goodness! I'm just amazed at their lack of concern and that I must have done something wrong! :irked: Oh well. One more month and then hopefully I'll be seeing a specialist!

[FFC]

Gee, this kind of waiting has gotta be worse than escrow can ever be!

[Brian's Bride]

Gee, this kind of waiting has gotta be worse than escrow can ever be!

It totally is! Although if it were waiting for an escrow with no water in my current residence... I don't know. It's probably a toss-up! HA HA!!!

[FFC]

LOL! I'll remember to compare when Matt and I start trying come September :)

[starsthrumysoul]

Lol, Breckan - Hopefully two or three months down the road this will all be a thing of the past and you'll be on your way toward a baby!!

I posted this elsewhere but I'll say it here too. I got some bloodwork done and met with my doctor this morning and found out that I have hypertension and pre-diabetes. SO she put me on a medication that will help reverse both, which is great. The problem is that you can't conceive on this medication. So, our plans are officially on hold until further notice. I'm sad to be postponing baby plans, but happy about the prospect of being healthier. Hopefully I'll be joining you all again at some point!!!

Oh my! Take care of yourself and get healthy! I hope you are feeling better soon. How long do you need to be on the medication for?

[Danielle9608]

Last night I noticed that I had some brown spotting - I am not sure if this is a good thing or bad. My temperature is still is normal range... :ooh:

[BarceloMayaPalaceBride]

Breckan-I would be so mad at that doctor. She doesn't want you to temp or use OPKs? That's obsurd. It's "funny" how she can be SO sure about what day you MUST have Od on. Grrrrr.....I'm so sorry you are having to deal with this!!! I wish I could send you my gyno. She's absolutely amazing. If only every doctor could be like her. Trust me It took me a few years, and a lot of bad doctors to find her. (LOoong story) We are here if you need anything :)

Danielle-I will be keeping my fingers crossed for you!!! :)

I hope you BOTH get BFP's veery soon!

[starsthrumysoul]

Oh my! Take care of yourself and get healthy! I hope you are feeling better soon. How long do you need to be on the medication for?

She said that it would just be until my insulin levels are normal - Hopefully since I'm dieting as well, that won't be too very long.

I'm sort of glad this is happening right now. It just reminds me that I really need to be taking care of myself. I want to be healthy when I have kids - hopefully this is the start of that journey.

[BarceloMayaPalaceBride]

Breckan-When I was typing my reply the laptop suddenly said low battery so I had to wrap it up. I had to kind of rush what I was saying....I am assuming you had a blood test done to confirm you are having trouble ovulating, and that's why you were perscribed clomid? I don't understand how a doctor can disagree with your charting and OPKs when they match eachother? I know everything will work out for you, and I hope it happens SOON!!! :)

[Danielle9608]

Danielle-I will be keeping my fingers crossed for you!!! :)

That's the thing! She never tested my progesterone before I was on Clomid, so I don't know for sure if I O'd or not pre-Clomid. I had some random lady on another site look at my charts and she said I was O'ing before Clomid, only it wasn't as clear as after I'd been taking it. My doctor never requested to see my charts and I just feel like I'm on the journey solo. She must be prescribing this drug like candy! That's why I'm tempted to NOT take the Clomid this cycle but still get my progesterone level tested on day 21 to find out. DH thinks I should just take the meds.

I actually heard back from the fertility group last night and have an appointment set up for Tuesday, April 14th. I didn't want to wait for the referral and I didn't need one anyway. Then I called my insurance and they actually cover THREE in-vitro fertilizations in a lifetime. That's a $10,000 procedure with a $400 deductible! I was floored when I heard that. Although IVF will be a last resort, it's comforting to know I can get three cracks at it, if need be. DH had heard his insurance was really good by his co-workers and now we're convinced!:whoohoo:

Wow!! That's great that you found out about the IVF:) As far as the Clomid goes, I honestly would not take it this month and get the progesterone levels tested on day 21 like you said. I'm wondering if your body was Oing, and the Clomid is messin' with your cycles? I obviously know nothing about it, and the decision is COMPLETELY up to you. :)

[BarceloMayaPalaceBride]

My update: I got my first positive OPK on 3/20!!!! It was even digital so there was NO mistaking it! My temp shot up today, so I'm almost 100% sure I "Od" yesterday! (CD16) So I am now officially in my first 2WW. I was so worried about Oing, that I think this wait will be easier.(who am I kidding?) :D We definetely gave it our BEST shot, and will continue BDin' till my CM dries up!!!! I hope you girls are doing great!!!! I can't WAIT for the day when I log in and someone in this thread has their first BFP!!!!!! Lots of Baby dust to us all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Danielle - Implantation spotting?!?!?! Sounds like it!

I'm testing on Sunday!!!! I finally got cross hairs! And we BD'd every single day during my fertile part!!! Eeekkk..Soooo exciting!

That is what I am hoping.

[Brian's Bride]

My update: I got my first positive OPK on 3/20!!!! It was even digital so there was NO mistaking it!

Yay! Isn't that the best to see a positive OPK??!? I'm sure it's not as good as a positive HPT, BUT... it's one step closer to getting the positive HPT! We'll help you through the wait, it's definitely the worst!

Danielle- any thing else happen besides the weird spotting?

I had the weirdest period thus far. It was extremely light Wed-Fri and then nothing. I'm still waiting for the crimson tide to start flowing and hope it doesn't catch me off guard! We did just move this weekend, so maybe it's stress-related and that's why it stopped? Hmm...

I also decided not to take the Clomid. I'm still going to have my progesterone tested on day 21 to see if I O'd on my own. I'd like something official to say if I did or didn't (along with my BBT chart). I realized that we're going to be in Orlando on vacation on day 21 and I found this "Any Lab Test Now" office that does progesterone tests for $49! You get the results in 24-48 hours. No appointments necessary. So now I'm relieved I can actually get one taken and it's cheaper than what I'm being charged in Milwaukee!

Baby dust to all, too!!

[Danielle9608]

Danielle- any thing else happen besides the weird spotting?




Nope, it was about a day of spotting and then nothing. I am not feeling anything else out of the ordinary either. My temperature never stayed high which makes me thing this wasn't my month.

[Goin2thechapel]

**************TMI ALERT!!!!*************

Had a small amount of brown discharge this afternoon, but none since then...9DPO, Possibly implantation?!?!

[FFC]

Every time I tune in to this thread I anticipate seeing someone with a happy dance and good news to report. Goin2thechapel, I saw all the stars and thought you were reporting (I guess in a way you are!).

Keeping my fingers crossed for you!!!!

[Qtpie]

Good Luck to all you ladies TTC. I hope we get some BFP soon. As soon as FH and I are married we will be joining you ladies here.

[Danielle9608]

Amanda are you going crazy waiting? Cause I am. I am also testing on Sunday too.

My mom told me last night (before all the drama went down with my sister and before my mom knew Jon and I were TTC) she had a dream I was pregnant. Maybe she knows something I don't!!

[BarceloMayaPalaceBride]

[BarceloMayaPalaceBride]

Danielle!!! I hope your mom is right!!!! 11DPO! WOW! Are you waiting till you're "late" to test? I've made it to day 4!!! I'm wishing you ALLLLL the best!!!!!!

[FFC]

I've had so many preggy scares - my AF is so irratic. If I am 4-6 days late that's regular for me. When I start TTC I'm going to go nuts :rofl:

[Brian's Bride]

Good luck ladies!

[Nekochanpurr]

Yikes!! Can you imagine?


I think i would cry. XD

[amisteratwisterandme]

I don't think we are going to have kids, but I am excited for all of you!

One thing...
Could u please explain on the synonyms?

I got TTC
& BFP
what are the others?

[FFC]

:rofl: We need a TTC Acronym thread :rofl:

[BarceloMayaPalaceBride]

Hmmmm....Let's see:
DPO=Days past ovulation
BFN=Big fat negative
OPK=Ovulation Predictor Kits
BD=Baby Dance (sex)
AF=Aunt Flo (period) :(

Was that all of em? ;) Wishing you girls allll the best!!!! SOMEBODY is gonna get a BFP I can FEEL it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Moon.Dust.]

So based on the last time AF came to visit & my OC (ovulation calculator), it looks like we've got to do the BD Friday or Saturday in order to get a BFP :bbeek:

:rofl:I tried to use as many acronyms as I could!!:rofl:

[Relaxed6-20-09]

I just wanted to wish you all good luck on the TTC, I am not TTC, but if any of you have read my last thread, I was scared that we did conceive. We did not and I think FH was more disappointed that I was. We will be actively trying in August (gotta plan around Tax Season), but if it happens before, we will still be excited.

[flyerso6]

There are alot of acronyms. When I first started reading a ttc message board I was lost due to all the acronyms. I assumed bfn and bfp were negative and positive but it took me a while to figure out what the bf meant haha. We are on the road back to ttc. I am on my 3rd day of provera, hopefully it makes me start my period so we can ttc!! I am excited. I was hopeing for 2009 baby but that time has come and gone, now hopeing for 2010!!

[Micah's bride]

I've got about 36 more days before we will begin un-actively TTC. I'm so excited, I keep telling FH that we're just going to let it happen when it happens, no planning....but I hope it happens sooner than later! I started taking prenatal vitamins this week to get ready. Good Luck everyone, I just found out this morning that my cousin and a friend are pregnant, so hopefully there will be babies in the air for others. :)

[Danielle9608]

Today is 14 DPO I got impatient so I took a test. I ordered some HPT from http://www.early-pregnancy-tests.com/ they say you can you can begin testing just 7 to 10 days after your ovulation date. It was negative. If AF doesn't come before Sunday I will test again just to be sure, but I am pretty sure this wasn't my month. So on to the next cycle. Good luck to everyone else who are testing soon!! I want to congratulate someone!!

[Danielle9608]

Here is a few more:

2WW: Two-week wait (until you can take a pregnancy test)
BBT: Basal Body Temperature
CD: Cycle day
FMU: First morning urine
hCG: Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (pregnancy hormone)
HPT: Home Pregnancy Test
O: Ovulation

[Goin2thechapel]

Test in a few more days Danielle...Maybe not enough HcG in your system yet?!?!

I'm gonna test tonight, I think...Not 100 percent sure though. But, My test day is Sunday with Hubby.

[savepaws]

Thanks for posting what all the abbreviations mean. I was sooo lost. LOL

I wish you all luck!! I hope you all get your BFPs. :)

I can't wait to start trying but FH wants to wait a whole year (at least) til after we are married to even THINK about trying. :( He wants to wait about a year and then we can talk about it and see if we are ready. I can understand where he is coming from...he wants to enjoy being married before we start a family. And in a perfect world, I'm sure he'd prefer that we own our own home before we start trying. But he's younger than me & has time on his side. I'm already 30 & have that ache to be a mother...so I guess its hard for him to understand my rush. :(

I just cannot wait until I get to go through all this. :)

[dizy1j62881]

keeping my fingers crossed for all you ladies. we'd been trying for little over year until recently, but with wedding in august and everything lately we decided to wait until Nicholas's first anniversary to start trying again. I mean we hadn't been on anything for almost 2 years but with nicholas there was always some reason why it didn't happen...guess the big man upstairs decided we'd need another baby after we lost our first one :(
Although now you've got me sitting on edge of my seat for everyone here...so good thing i'm on recovery rest so i can use computer all day!! :)

[FFC]

I'm so glad that you've decided to try soon! I hope that you are successful and can find happiness.

I'm on the edge of my seat every time I open this thread - who's it going to be first? We should start a poll on who's going to get a positive result first :rofl:

[Goin2thechapel]

dizy - My heart breaks for you hun and I just know that the "big man upstairs" has plans for you...

Thank you for being here and supporting all of us newly TTC ladies...We really could use some advice every now and then...You know, to keep us sane! LOL

[Qtpie]

I dont knowwhy but for some reason I keep thinking Danielle is pregnant. Just from the post about her mom having a dream, and a gut feeling I have. Oh Danielle I really do hope that first HPT was a dud. Good luck and keep us posted ladies.

[dizy1j62881]

hahahaha....My sanity is long gone...I believe since right after the engagement ;) thought I would get it back with being married (no go there...LOL) and now TTC...FORGET IT! My sanity is never coming back ;)

[BarceloMayaPalaceBride]

Sorry about the negative Danielle, but I'm still not convinced either ;) How are your temps? Also, to everyone else who's joined this thread I hope you ALL get BFP's soon! Good Luck to everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ikkin510]

Good luck to all you ladies trying and in your 2WW right now!
It's looking like my DH will be getting a nice raise by May so I'll be having my BC removed (I'm on mirena) in a few weeks and well be starting TTC #2 in May!

[Goin2thechapel]

YAY Nikki!!!!

I might wait until May to start trying again...I think AF is on her way!

[Moon.Dust.]

I've been doing some math and we think it might be better if we start actively TTC in late May/early June. So right now any BD right now will be purely for fun!

[bichonlvr]

I'm on the edge of my seat every time I open this thread - who's it going to be first? We should start a poll on who's going to get a positive result first :rofl:

ME TOO...it is my new fav section!!!

YAY Nikki!!!!

We could be preggo buddies then Amanda!!!

[Goin2thechapel]

We could be preggo buddies then Amanda!!!
That would be Just Fine!!!! ;)

[dizy1j62881]

ok so everytime i get an notice that there are new replies I keep hoping that the BD worked for someone!! IDK what it is lately but I've been having baby dreams lately but not about me...my sisters, friends and friends of friends. GOOD LUCK!!!

[Danielle9608]

Amanda was your test negative? I took another today and got a bfn :( On to the nest cycle. I have a good feeling about April!

[Danielle9608]

Sorry about the negative Danielle, but I'm still not convinced either ;) How are your temps? Also, to everyone else who's joined this thread I hope you ALL get BFP's soon! Good Luck to everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My temps were on the low side. I just got my bfn which I guess why my temp never stayed high. It's on to next month. When are you testing?? I can't wait to hear!!

[Hope75]

Just wanted to wish all the TTC ladies good luck and send some pregnancy dust your way!

DH and I started TTC right about wedding time and got our BFP last November. I'm 6 months pregnant now and can't wait to meet this little munchkin!

I love reading about everyone TTC... it's such an exciting time.

Good luck ladies!!:)

[Goin2thechapel]

Yep...BFN for me :( Sooo sad! LOL But still no AF and mid cycle spotting (first time ever in my life) But I'm 14 DPO and testing negative...Pretty sure i'm over :(

[bichonlvr]

Sorry about the BFN...but just think...a lot more BDing! YAHOO!

Just chill--it will happen!!!! They say the more relaxed you are the better it is....relax those uterus' girls! :)

[Qtpie]

I was talking to a nurse at work today and she said that taking Pre Natal Vitamins for a few months before you try to concieve will help because it causes the uterine lining to grow very thick.

Good Luck everyone. I cant wait until FH and I begin to TTC. Hopefully around June.

[Danielle9608]

Yep...BFN for me :( Sooo sad! LOL But still no AF and mid cycle spotting (first time ever in my life) But I'm 14 DPO and testing negative...Pretty sure i'm over :(

I'm sorry!! Maybe April will be both our months. Here's to hoping!

Good Luck everyone. I cant wait until FH and I begin to TTC. Hopefully around June.

Thanks! Also, taking folic acid, which is in pre natal vitamins can also promote healthy brain function and reduces the risk of neural-tube defects such as spina bifida. I've been on them since December.

[Goin2thechapel]

Yup...Still taking my prenatals too :)

[BarceloMayaPalaceBride]

Sorry about the BFN's girls :( I am still in the 2WW. :bbeek: It get's a little harder everyday. LOL. I am currently 8DPO. My temperature plunged this am (NOT below the coverline) but I had a horrible migrane that kept me tossing and turning all night, so who knows what's going on? It's possibly an implantation dip (I HOPE) I will be really bummed if my luteal phase isn't ATLEAST 10 days, preferably 12+. Tomorrows temp will tell me a lot more. I PRAY it shoots back up!!! I've also been taking pre-natals for several months :) I REALLY hope April is THE month for all you girls BFPs!!! Cooommmeee On April!!!! :)

[Moon.Dust.]

Oh!
I thought about this yesterday when I was going to fix myself some Iced tea and all I had left were Chamomile tea bags.

Chamomile is a BIG no-no for women trying to conceive and for pregnant women during their first and third trimesters.
Because it help rid the body of "foreign objects" (great when you're sick, have AF, etc) this causes women to miscarry or go into labor early if in their last trimester.

So now I've got to toss out my tea so I don't brew any!

[Brian's Bride]

I got a BFP on my OPK tonight!!! And I didn't take the Clomid this cycle! It's only day 14!!!! YES! :sweatdrop:

I told DH and then had to jump on here to share the news! I really, really, really hope April is our month!

[dizy1j62881]

CONGRATS!!! how exciting!! very happy for you...hopefully you started a trend for the others TTC on here...we still have a little bit before we can talk about it again

[Goin2thechapel]

Well ladies I'm now 17DPO with no sign of AF... 15 DPO was a BFN when I tested, so I'm REALLY sure I'm not pregnant. Plus my temperatures aren't high at all...Not ONE temp in the 98 degree range! Weird...

Bloodwork this morning for me and an appointment with my OB on 4/9...

Good luck to everyone!!!!!

LOL! Get off the computer and BD! We did!!! It was shocking because the line was sooooo dark. The darkest I'd ever seen. It was practically black it was so dark purple. Way darker than the "comparison" line. Now I hope the test wasn't defective! ha ha. I'll take another one tonight and see what happens. I am feeling so upbeat about this. The first time in a looong time! :o

[Goin2thechapel]

Weird I haven't got mine either. I am just one day ahead of you on my cycle.

Seriously ridiculous right?!?! LOL I have an appointment next week to talk abotu how long my cycles are...

The one before this one was 73 days

[Moon.Dust.]

ok. I'm confused. Annoyed. I don't know.
I'm going to ignore it until I miss my period, but I'm getting nauseous over little things –but I don’t know if it’s from the glucophage or what.
The thing is the last time we did the BD was 3/13 and then AF came the 16th so… shouldn’t be.
I don’t know. It’s stress. It’s got to be the stress of the wedding.

[Danielle9608]

Most women doesn't experience nausea till 6 weeks or more (some earlier). I felt like I was going to hurl every time I looked at my "to do" list when I was a month a away from my wedding. It's probably nerves.

[ikkin510]

COngrats on the BFP OPK! Hopefully this will be your month!

Amanda, wow, I'm glad you called your doctor. Those cycle lengths are crazy! I hope she can help you figure out what is going on!

[BarceloMayaPalaceBride]

I am 10DPO and my temps have taken a COMPLETE PLUNGE the past 3 days....:( This morning it dropped SO much it was almost comical...(well not really but you gotta laugh to keep your sanity in the 2WW) I am going to start taking vitamin B6 to help lengthen my LP. I was all excited to test today but am not going to waste a test because of my temps. On to the next cycle....

I am sorry. Don't give up yet. Test in 4 more days! If you're not I have a feeling that April will be the month with lots of prego OWers here :)

[Brian's Bride]

Hey Andrea,

I tried the B6 to lengthen my cycle. I only gave it one cycle, but it didn't work. Just wanted to let you know. There are no side-effects to having B6 in your system, though. The excess vitamin is exited through your urine. I just bought a bottle at the grocery store for a couple of bucks. You'll have to let me know how it works for you!

[Moon.Dust.]

that's what I'm figuring. It's just not helping that I work with a ton of girls and the next logical step -even though we're not married yet- is children so any little funny move and it's "ooohhh! You're prego!"

[BarceloMayaPalaceBride]

Thanks ladies! AF showed yesterday on April Fool's Day....:huh: My LP was only 10 days.:whyme: So onto the next cycle. I called my doctor about my short LP and am waiting for her to call back. I want to make sure that 50mg of B6 (plus my pre-natal) is enough. I also will be getting my progesterone levels tested this cycle (I was unable to the last cycle due to a Blizzard) I'm SOOO thankful I was charting/temping. I learned SOOOO much this month and knew my period was coming based on temps alone. I mean it's SO obvious on my chart. My temps just PLUNGE. I have a good feeling about April for all of us!!!! Good luck gals!!!

On to April! Good luck and baby dust to us all!!!!

[Danielle9608]

I am now well over 10 days late (I have strange cycles sometimes they are 28 sometimes 33). And no AF. I talked to my mom about it and she said the same thing happened to her with me, no period and negative HPT's. It wasn't till she went to the doctor that she found out she was pregnant. So last night I took a test, again negative. But the ironic thing after that I went to relax and watch some TV and it was already set to A&E and the show that was on was all about woman that gave birth when they didn't know they were pregnant. :bbeek: LOL So I call the doctor this morning, wating for a phone call back. Trying not to get my hopes up. :innocent:

[Danielle9608]

So I just got off the phone with my doctor and I guess they are not concerned and told me to wait another week and retest. :snide:

[BarceloMayaPalaceBride]

Danielle~I REALLY hope the old bag stays away. I know a few women who continued to get negative HPT's for some reason. When my best friend was pregnant with her son (her 2nd child) She just KNEW she was pregnant but kept getting negative tests. FINALLY after a few weeks it showed up on a HPT. Some women are just like that! Annd, since that happened with your mom too? TOTALLY crossing my fingers for you!!! I'm on CD6, have been taking B6 since AF started, and am actually getting my progesterone levels tested on CD20. Praying for us ALL to get BFPs soon!!!! :D

[FFC]

Danielle, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you. My mom and her best friend both had to have blood tests to determine pregnancy - the HPT or urine test at the docs both showed negative, but low and behold with the blood test they got a positive result.

Not trying to incur false hopes, but I hope hope hope this is your month to do the happy dance!!!

[bichonlvr]

Danielle....are you taking the same PT? If so, maybe try a different brand. Do you feel different? Do you feel your period is coming? Good luck!

[Danielle9608]

Danielle....are you taking the same PT? If so, maybe try a different brand. Do you feel different? Do you feel your period is coming? Good luck!

Thanks! I tried two different brands. First Response and Early Pregnancy test brand. I don't feel my period coming but in all fairness to that, I've never gotten pms or really "period symptoms" just usually a little cramping before it comes. I guess I should just wait and see ...

[Qtpie]

Oh Danielle, I am really hoping this is it for you. I really hope you have a little baby growing in your belly. Please keep us updated. GOOD LUCK!

[Nekochanpurr]

Danielle, i hopes its baby time for you guys!! Keep us updated. :D

[bichonlvr]

okay maybe go and get NOT an early response one, since it is not early anymore!!! :)

[Danielle9608]

okay maybe go and get NOT an early response one, since it is not early anymore!!! :)

LOL I like the way you think! I am going to wait till Thursday and if AF is still not here I will test again with a regular old HPT :)

[LovingLife]

Oh My Gosh! Oh My Gosh! Oh My Gosh! Oh My Gosh! Oh My Gosh!

I have been reading this thread for weeks, and I couldnt stop myself from posting how excited I am for you Danielle. I hope Aunt Flow stays away!!!

Good Luck Dear :)

Aww thank you! Me too. It's Tuesday and she still isn't here.

[Qtpie]

Aww thank you! Me too. It's Tuesday and she still isn't here.


Oh i am on the edge of my chair, I cant wait to hear the good news?

[BarceloMayaPalaceBride]

Checkin' in with ya Danielle!!!! I hope the witch has STAYED away!!!! Any news for us???? :D

[starsthrumysoul]

Aww thank you! Me too. It's Tuesday and she still isn't here.

It's Wednesday now! Anything yet??

I'm crossing my fingers (and toes) for you.. And if you're the first one in this thread to get prego, I hope it starts a chain reaction for everyone else :-P

[Danielle9608]

Still no AF and as of this morning still negative HPT. Hopefully if its not here by next week my doctor will bring me in to do a blood test. I getting impatient :irked:

[FFC]

Can't you tell your doctor to give you a blood test??? I'm getting impatient too!

[Danielle9608]

Can't you tell your doctor to give you a blood test??? I'm getting impatient too!

I didn't ask when I called and they didn't seem to see it being a big deal. But come Monday it will have been a full month since I ovulated so maybe they will think different then and I will ask.

[FFC]

You're so patient! I don't think I could be that patient. Hang in there - and in the meantime I'll be hoping your AF stays away for say, 9 more months :happy:

[Micah's bride]

Good Luck, Danielle. Hopefully you'll either finally get a positive HPT or the Dr. will do a blood test!!

[kgvettegirl]

Not to get your hopes up or anything but with my first I never got a positive test until the blood test.

[Danielle9608]

Not to get your hopes up or anything but with my first I never got a positive test until the blood test.

Yea, I am trying not to get my hopes up either. I am not sure if you saw that I had a conversation with my mom about it and apparently when she was pregnant with me the same thing happened. No period, but no positive HPT and she said she just knew she was and its wasn't till she got the blood test done that she found out she was. I really wish they had at home blood tests or something :winktongue:

[BarceloMayaPalaceBride]

Sorry if you've already answered this but I'm assuming your temps are still up also?

[bichonlvr]

okay..pretend you have a UTI...they will test your urine and for prego...that is how my friend found out she was.

[Danielle9608]

Sorry if you've already answered this but I'm assuming your temps are still up also?

It has been around 98.55 - 98.77 not the highest I've seen it but not the lowest either.

[Moon.Dust.]

Danielle!!! Every time I see you post on here I think it's to tell us you have a BFP!!! :bbeek:

[Qtpie]

okay..pretend you have a UTI...they will test your urine and for prego...that is how my friend found out she was.

Like Bichonlvr said. Pretend you have a UTI and get that blood test, I cant take it anymore, I wanna know if your baking a bundle of joy in the oven.

[flyerso6]

good luck to all those in the 2ww. We are officially ttc again!!!!I just finished my period, which I had to take provera to make it come. I am praying I ovulate on time!!

[FFC]

:whoohoo: Congrats!! Good luck!

[BarceloMayaPalaceBride]

I agree with the other girls about getting a blood test. I am really suprised your doctors office is making you wait STILL. Tell them ANYTHING. Say that you are supposed to have some dental work done but you are worried because your period hasn't come yet. Tell them you absolutely cannot get this dental work done and have Xrays unless you know for sure you aren't pregnant. This wait must be driving you crazy. There's the "Waiting to O" wait, the "2 Week" Wait, AND poor Danielle's "Waiting to know if I'm pregnant for almost a month now" wait. I REALLY hope you can find out soon! AND, BTW, those temps seem REALLY promising. Crossing my fingers for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BarceloMayaPalaceBride]

good luck to all those in the 2ww. We are officially ttc again!!!!I just finished my period, which I had to take provera to make it come. I am praying I ovulate on time!!

LOL you girls are so funny! I really want to know too but they told me to wait a week. So first thing Monday morning you bet ya I'll be on that phone saying hey bring me in for a blood test!!! I am going to test again tomorrow morning, I just keep hoping that one of these test will come out positive!!

Arrgghhh....I'm off to the OB/GYN tonight and she's starting me on Provera AGAIN!! Ughhhh....So we're in the same boat pal :)

This is going to be my first Clomid cycle too. So I'm assuming I'll start the Provera tonight and in about 10 days I'll be taking my first Clomid pill.

I'm rolling in baby dust right now :)

[flyerso6]

well my provera period is almost over.. its extremely light, it just doesn't want to let go haha. I wish my dr. gave me clomid, because I highly doubt I ovulate around the 14 day mark.. when I did get pregnant I ovulated around the 8 week mark ( but i did just stop bc then ). I know I should be happy that I do ovulate but since it takes so long, if I don't catch it the 1st time, it will be another long wait. The bad news is im going out of town for work for a week in May and a week in June. I will sooooo mad if I ovulate while Im gone.

[bichonlvr]

Daneille...Okay..today IS Thursday...you said Thursday...did you test again? :)

[LovingLife]

Oh gosh I just want to dance with excitement. I hope you find out soon if you are pregnant!

You will make a wonderful mother being as patient as you are right now. lol.

[Danielle9608]

Daneille...Okay..today IS Thursday...you said Thursday...did you test again? :)

Yea I did still negative. This time I tried clear blue. I swear I am keeping the HPT industry in business right now. I am calling to doctor today to see if I can come in on Monday.

[Moon.Dust.]

I'm crossing my fingers for you!!

on my front AF is due tomorrow... wish she'd get here so I can be put out of my misery.

[Danielle9608]

I think I'm going to look for a new doctor. So I called back today and explained the situation told them I am two weeks late and a nurse called me back and said I understand you want a blood test. And I said yes that is correct. And then she says (in a VERY snarky voice) are you aware hpt's are accurate? I said well I am 2 weeks late and otherwise have periods on time, and the very least can we talk about inducing my period? And she goes oh well then we can do that ... WHAT?! They will induce my period but won't give me a flipping blood test? So I have an appointment on the 23rd, but I am going to be looking for a new OBGYN before then. :irked:

[FFC]

WTF Danielle!!!! That's BS! Is your appointment for inducement or a blood test? If it's for inducement, give me your doctor's number I'll get your blood test for you :urgh: That nurse is out of line :irked:

[Moon.Dust.]

They tried giving me that cr*p when AF was running late last year and HPTs kept giving me BFNs.
So I said; look let's say I'm not PG, then we need to know WHY I'm not getting it!
I demanded a blood test.
turned out I wasn't, but at least we caught the reason why and fixed the problem.

[Danielle9608]

It's for a inducement of my period, but before they give me anything I will insist on doing a blood test. I never talked to my doctor only a nurse (who screen calls) that works in the office. I am trying to think if I should change my doctor now or wait till my appointment since they know about the situation at my current doctor's office. Either way her tone was unacceptable. It's also not the first time I've had problems with this place. See it's like a mini hospital my OBGYN and primary doctor work in the same building along with hundreds of other doctors and departments. So if been really convient for years becuase if I needed to see a specialist (say a back doctor) they are all in the same building under one network. Over the years though the have gotten to large and I feel their customer service has gone down the tubes.

I don't think that you would be out of line to find a new doctor. It's not your job to convenience them, and HPTs are NOT always correct. Back when I worked as an HIV test counselor, I worked in an office that did free pregnancy tests. We used to get a lot of gals that had negative HPTs and were wondering why they haven't had their period... low and behold they are pregnant. Are the bare minimum the nurse should know that, and be respectful accordingly - I do not have any sort of LPN or RN and I know that! In any case a period that disappears suddenly is a potential cause for concern and you'd think they would understand that. I think you'd be justified to find a new OB/GYN.

Be aware that the woman may not be a nurse at all, she could be a medical assistant or office secretary. I have commonly seen MA's and CNA's in physician's offices who refer to themselves as a "nurse", yet they truly aren't. It's important to know who you're talking to (for your safety!).

Either way, Danielle, there is no reason you should put up with that ****.....I would be on the hunt for a new doc too! I've been following this thread and have my fingers crossed for you that you are pregnant!

[BarceloMayaPalaceBride]

Wow, Danielle. I am shocked. I can't believe how rude she was to you. GRRRRRR

[Goin2thechapel]

Well, Here's the funny thing...They NEED to give yhou a blood test before giving you the pills to start the period :) So you're gonna get your blood test either way :) hehe

As for your Doctor, you should find a new OB/GYN. She handled that soo Inappropriately!

[Danielle9608]

So Jon and I went out to dinner tonight. On the way to dinner my stomach was feeling not quite right and then once we got there it started to hurt REALLY bad. So I thought great the day I called the doctor I'm getting my period. The whole way home it felt like someone was stabbing me in the stomach. So we get home and to my surprise no AF. It has settled down some. I am little worried now, do you think something could be wrong? If AF is not there in the morning I will test again. :( This is getting really annoying!!

Yeah I think I know what is going on. It's called implantation. I still remember the feeling the first time it happened. Like someone pinching me really hard.

[Danielle9608]

Yeah I think I know what is going on. It's called implantation. I still remember the feeling the first time it happened. Like someone pinching me really hard.

I thought about that too but I ovulated on the 14th. I did have some small spotting 7 days later. Do you think I can still be getting cramps from it?

[bichonlvr]

Could it be tubal? Could be stress....dude...we need an MD to join OW :)

Do you have a planned parenthood close to you? They will test :)

[Micah's bride]

Danielle, I hope everything is okay. Maybe it's just the flu or something making your stomach hurt. I would def. try to get into the dr. sooner. Good Luck, hope you get to feeling better!

[flyerso6]

Yeah, I would get to dr asap, and if they wont see you, I would consider going to urgent care or ER. If it is a tubal it would explain no period and negative hpt. Ectopic pregnancies are very dangerous.

Also they don't have to test you to give the pills to induce your period, they didn't give me a test. I considered taking a test before taking the pills but I figured since my temps were so low (around 96.8) there was no way I pregnant and I didn't want to waste money on a test.

[Moon.Dust.]

Your right,

I am a CNA

[Qtpie]

Danielle, are you ok, any news yet? I hope everything is ok.

[Danielle9608]

Hi girls, thank you so much for the concern! I am doing better, no more cramping. I guess it could be a flu or just the stress on not knowing. Took ANOTHER pregnancy test this morning and still negative. :(

No planned parenthood here. I could go to the ER but since I am feeling no pain right now I think I might just wait and see.

[Moon.Dust.]

I'm sorry about the BFNs hun.
I know it can be never wracking. It might be best to try to get your mind off of things for a bit.

[BarceloMayaPalaceBride]

Just stopping in to wish everyone a HAPPY EASTER!!!! Hang in there Danielle. I pray you have an answer soon. :)

[FFC]

Danielle, it's Monday (like I needed to remind you) :D... What time is your appointment so we can think baby thoughts? :)

[Danielle9608]

Danielle, it's Monday (like I needed to remind you) :D... What time is your appointment so we can think baby thoughts? :)

It's not till the 23rd. I guess you'll have to think baby thoughts for another week and half. I called a few different new doctors today but no one can get me in sooner. :( So I am going to see my current doctor and then change.

[FFC]

:urgh: Hmm... dunno where I got today from *doh!*

Alright then... take care of yourself as if you are pregnant. Think positive thoughts :)

[Brian's Bride]

Just got back from vacation and checked out the TTC thread! Sorry you're going through all this, Danielle! Sounds like a PITA! Waiting until the 23rd to take a blood test would suck. Are there any other labs in your area? I was in Orlando and had my blood taken at an "Any Lab Test Now" franchise for my progesterone level (it came back at 17.9 in range and NO CLOMID!) so I think I ovulated on my own.

Anyways, see if there are any independent lab testing sites near you!

Thanks I will look into it. I just googled the lab you went to. They aren't in MA yet.

[Brian's Bride]

Did you check out the Women's Health of Central MA? 508-485-1056. It's in Marlborough, MA. They do pregnancy tests there.

[Brian's Bride]

Wasn't me, it was Google! :) You're welcome.

[Danielle9608]

Okay I am so frustrated I could scream! I just called and explained the whole situation. They agree that my OB/GYN is being dumb for not just bringing me in for the blood test. But they said I can't come in for a blood test unless I declare them as my new doctor which takes time to do. Plus I would rather keep my doctor a bit closer to work. They aren't to far away but it's still a 45 minute drive. Thanks for trying Breckan!

[FFC]

Alright.... so did you give them your name? Maybe you can call in and tell them you need a pregnancy test. Period. They don't need to know about your primary idiot doctor's office. Hmm... guess it depends on how busy the place is if they'd remember your call.

[Danielle9608]

I guess I could drive to Boston or Somerville and go to Planned Parenthood. They are kind of far away and in not great neighborhoods. :purplex:

[bichonlvr]

I thought you said you were having trouble peeing...burns a bit, right?!?!? HA HA! What about your general Dr?

[Brian's Bride]

It was worth a try. Who knew getting a stupid pregnancy test could be so hard?!?

[Danielle9608]

LOL you guys are too funny. It's only 10 days, I waited this long. 10 days should be a piece of cake. I'm just treating my body like I am pregnant just incase.

Oh Danielle I really hope its a BFP. If I were you I would be at my doctors door begging for a pregnancy test. You are so patient.

[BarceloMayaPalaceBride]

Just Checkin' In On Ya Girl!!!!!! You are so patient and smart for treating your body like it's pregnant. Let me ask you this......If I'm calculating this right, you have almost missed 2 periods now right? I mean in terms of your cycle obviously you are really late, but where exactly are you in your cycle? The high temps, no period, AND the fact that your mom had the same issue when she was pregnant are all red flags for me. I really hope this is it for you!!!! If we must wait 9 days then it's ok. :) ALL the best to you, and I pray these 9 days go quickly!

Thank you :). Actually I just started my third week of being late. I have no idea where I am in my cycle right now (if I'm not pregnant). Temps are still in the mid 98 range. I usually have 30-33 day cycles (give or take a day or two - not week or two). Good luck on your 2WW I hope this is your month!!

[savepaws]

I haven't been to OW much lately so I finally got to catch up on this thread. Danielle, you are definitely a patient person!! I really hope you get your BFP when you go in on the 23rd!!! And good luck finding a new doctor, I would be so ticked off! It's not like a blood test is dangerous and should be the last option. It's a freaking blood test! You take the blood and test it. They should just DO IT if you ask them to. Jeez! Your doctor's office makes me so mad!

[starsthrumysoul]

UGH! I am such an impatient person :-P Danielle I'm REALLY hoping this is your month! Every time I get bored at work I think.... "Ooh, I wonder if Danielle found out yet!" We're rooting for you!!!

Waiting to O.........ANY day now............Come On!!!!!!!!! I really Hope the Vitamin B6 helped to lengthen my Luteal Phase!!!! 8 more days Danielle! :)

BTW-Any of you girls use Pre-Seed? It's an AWESOME product ;) Annd, is sperm friendly!

[flyerso6]

I am so excited.. I think i o'ed either last night or this morning. I think! Ive been temping but its all crazy because we just got back from vacation and so I had not done it all week. My temps were in the 97.4 range and then this morning was around 97.85. But it wasn't at the same time I had been doing it and I had to get up to get my thermometer, so that may not be very good. Plus DH has been off work and he dosne't know i temp, I don't want him to think I am crazy haha.

BUT my cm was egg whiteish and it wasn't yesterday and my cervix was high and soft (TMI i know). I really really hope I o'ed because today is cycle day 16 which would be right on time, I was starting to think something was wrong because when I stopped birth control it took me around 8 weeks to ovulate, then after the d&c I had to take provera at 10 weeks to make me start my period. So tomorrow morning I will take my temp correctly and see how it goes. Hopefully this will be the month.

After having a loss I think i am more obsessed with getting pregnant again. I think I am good emotionally now but just feel like something is missing. When I see prego people I think about how far along I would I have been by now.

After having a loss I think i am more obsessed with getting pregnant again. I think I am good emotionally now but just feel like something is missing. When I see prego people I think about how far along I would I have been by now.

I really hope this is it for you. Good luck! Sending baby dust your way :)
