March, 2008

We are trying again! Yay! We suffered a miscarriage at 20 weeks and were devistated but we are feeling better now and are trying again for a beautiful baby. It will be our first and we just want to be parents so bad! We love our cats and dogs but it's time for some two legged babies!!

4/2/08

Well, AF came today... Wish she'd skip my house! lol We'll try, try again!!

5/1/08

No sign of AF yet...I'm locking the doors and battoning down the hatches!! :)

5/7/08

Still no AF, but a BFN on an EPT I took on Monday. Not taking anymore of those; the manufacturer's are making a fortune off gals like us! I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow because I take Synthroid and if I am preggo, need to make sure the dosage is correct, so tomorrow I'll go and hopefully know something soon!! I really do think I am going to get a BFP!

5/12/08

"The waiting is the hardest part..." Still nothing - on either end!!

5/15/08

AF arrived, two weeks late; I don't get it... Oh well. Not discouraged, just confused! We'll try again this month! :)

6/3/08

Now we wait - I test in a week and am hoping for a BFP. It would be bittersweet..... Also, my husband's birthday is the 16th so what a wonderful gift that would be~ let's hope and see what God has in store.

6/11/08
No AF, but a BFN, of course..... onward and upward!
6/12/08
AF is here............. nothing more to say.
6/30/08
Not much new to report; I get to test in ten days but I am not sure if we hit the window this month. We shall see! Been very busy with my photography business and life in general!
7/10/08
Took a Walgreen's preggo test... what a rickety piece of you know what! And it was BFN so that made me even more irritated!! I'm due today... we shall see.
7/14/08
AF arrived.... four days late. Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Hi there, how are you doing, I keep thinking of you lots and I keep checkiong your page for updates. I am doing ok, we have our 18 week appt on Aug 4th. I think we want to wait for a surprise as to what the sex is going to be- I am not sure if we will stick to it. I am getting zero sence as to what I am carrying so we shall see.

I really hope this month is your month, keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you. Take Care

Thanks very much indeed! Just did another test this morning and the line is still there and def darker - I am going to consider this my BFP!! I am so pleased

I hope this is your month for the BFP and maybe see you in the week by week forum very soon!! Keep in touch and take care

Nah, you don't have to keep testing :) Once you see any hint of a line I'd BD for the next 5 days or so. :X Hehe.... Good luck!!! I cannot wait to be done.... sheesh... 44 more days! It's been a long, exhausting ride but I know it will be worth it. Keep me posted ! This could be your month. :D

Hi there :) Just visiting from week 33 and I wanted to share my experience using the OPK. As soon as I noticed ANY second line at all we BD'd... the line would get darker the next two days then start to fade, but while there was any line at all we BD'd and I think it was about 5-6 days in a row each month just to be safe. It took us 3 months that way. :)

Feeling okay...just EXHAUSTED! Wake up every morning feeling utterly drained. Have dr. appt in a couple hours, will find out if this is normal or not. Otherwise, I am so thrilled to be able to feel him moving around every day. It's very reassuring :D His name is Andrew Michael. How are you doing?

LizDW - Friday, 18 July
Well, today is CD 30, no AF and no BFP... hmm. I guess I'll wait for that late biotch AF to show up.

sunshine81607 - Tuesday, 15 July
I'm feeling ok. I would start using OPK's this month. The month we decided to use them from day 1 we got a BFP. I was on clomid too but that's because I have ovary issues.

alwayshopeful - Tuesday, 15 July
Hang in there and keep trying! Praying for you and sending you a ton of baby dust and some for me too

Are you checking your bbt or using an OPK? These are the basics I hear in helping you get started, along with keep up with your CM. I have also started using a site: www.fertilityfriend.com and it helps you track all that stuff and when the best days to try BD!

blessedbaby2be - Tuesday, 15 July
Sorry to hear about your AF coming, mine came on my wedding day:-( There is always next month so cheer up!

Rebecca - Tuesday, 15 July
AF is here today too! Boo Urns!

I don't think monitorying your cycle is depressing. In fact, I was talking about it with another friend and we both agreed it is very empowering to know exactly when you are ovulating. One of the hardest things about TTC is the unknown and wondering if you are ovulating this month and if you are going to catch the egg at the right time, blah, blah. Using a monitoring device helps you to avoid some of this frustration and focus on having great sex at the right time. Very empowering if you ask me! Give it a shot. You might be pleasantly surprised! I was. I got pregnant the first month I used the fertility monitor. Things are going well with me. I am off right now to the doc for my second u/s. I will post a picture when I get back. No worries, Pam. Your time is coming. I just know it!

Rebecca - Tuesday, 15 July
I think im in your boat too, not sure if its AF or not but I have some spotting today Ill wait and see what tomorrow brings. I have a feeling that it is going to be here and then have to go through all this again. Lets hope next month is the month for us! Baby dust!!

roosa - Tuesday, 15 July
Pam, so sorry you got your AF, and then 4 days late! I am feeling really bummed on your behalf. I definitely recommend charting. I use the site fertilityfriend.com. Basically you chart your temperature etc and it keeps track of it and tells you when you ovulate. Using that I learned that I ovulate 3-4 days later than I thought! Pretty important information. I have also learned that my luteal phase is really short, only about 9-10 days, and that can cause infertility but is treatable. We'll see. But I am glad I have charted and now know these things. I used ovulation tests the first month and since then I have only used the temperature. The ovulation tests are great, but it is still hard to know exactly when you ovulate as it can be anywhere from 1-2 days later. With the temperature you don't have a warning of when you ovulate because you don't get a rise until after ovulation, but it does help you get to know your cycle. I found a combination of the two is great to start out with. Hope that wasn't too much information, and stuff you already know or have been told a million times.

Well, I am on cycle day 25 out of 27/28 and ovulated on day 18. We have definitely done our part this month so I am feeling hopeful. We'll see! I know I will be so dissapointed this month if I get a negative, but I'll survive.

All my love and prayers!
Karin

I am so sorry AF arrived, that really sucks, I am thinking of you lots, take care, I am sending you lots of baby dust.

grexach - Monday, 14 July
Hi, honey, I'm sorry yucky AF arrived today. She can shove it! Do you monitor your fertility signs to figure out when you are most fertile? If you do not already monitor yourself, maybe you could start by either doing it yourself (for free) by monitoring your cervical mucus on a daily basis, or using a tool to help you, like OPKs or a fertility monitor (which are a bit expensive, but very effective). Perhaps you are ovulating earlier or later in your cycle and missing your most fertile days. If you can reliably identify your most fertile days, then your chances of conceiving are that much greater. Good luck, Pam. I know how hard it is to go through month after month of TTC. I hope you get your BFP soon. I'm rooting for you!

divinedivas79 - Monday, 14 July
it came the other day. :&( i'm done now. so i'm taking my temp and seriously charting however i may need to wait until after my husband has his surgery. but i'll let nature and God decide that. sticky baby to us both for next month. darn!

andante - Monday, 14 July
Awww, I'm sorry :( I hope you will get that BFP soon :) I can't believe we're at week 20 either!! So excited :P

divinedivas79 - Thursday, 10 July

sunshine81607 - Thursday, 10 July
Thank you for the prayers. I'm praying for you to get that BFP!!! Keep me posted.

Rebekahs-mama - Wednesday, 9 July
Hi! Well, maybe this will be your month afterall. I felt prenant the month before testing positive and I wasn't. Then the month I was positive I didn't feel anything at all! I'll keep praying for you and your hubby because you never really know!

We're doing very well here. Not much new going on other than the fact that I'm pretty tired most of the time. It's to be expected though! lol! I hit the 12 week mark today which seems surreal. This pregnancy is going so much faster than the last one! On one hand I'm excited to meet this new little person so I want the time to keep going by quickly. On the other hand I want it to slow down because before I know it Bekah will be such a big girl!

Well, keep me updated and I'll keeo praying! xoxox Amanda

lulu99 - Wednesday, 9 July

Rebekahs-mama - Wednesday, 9 July
Hi! How's the TTCing coming? I'm hoping and praying this is going to happen very soon for you! xoxox Amanda
