Good morning Crisis, was wondering who was going to do this tongue.gif

goodgirl
Thanks for opening Crisis. I hope starting this cafe brings you some luck and you get your BFP in the next few days.

I've just moved myself to DPO and while I don't hold out much hope, I'm secretly praying and wishing every day, I can get into that Jan mummies group. smile.gif

BFP


Good Morning,

I have decided to take myself out of the list for May. DH and I will continue TTC, however I am trying not to think about it every day.

I was meant to go for after work drinks on Thursday evening, so decided to test Thursday morning just to rule pregnancy out and got a feint BFP. We have been cautiously optimistic. However, this morning AF arrived in all her glory, and more horrid than usual. This is why I should never have tested early sleep.gif A pregnancy was never confirmed, so I am thinking of it as a false positive for my own wellbeing (I am sorry if this offends anyone). I wish you all luck and hope that this is your month!
HayleyNZ
May cafe already!!!

Snuggles, sorry about your loss/AF sad.gif , what ever you wish to think of it as.

Hi Everyone,

I am starting my TTC journey smile.gif I've added myself to the list, hope that's o.k.

Snuggles, I'm sorry sweet. In any case, I'm thinking of you.

Updating me for today (sorry, I can't quote as I'm on my iPhone - if someone could please update me again blush.gif in the list):

Lady_R TTC#1 Cycle 10 (after loss) CD02

Hhmmpph.. Cycle 10 - again. Been here before.. dry.gif took us over 12 months to conceive our beautiful Fuzzy, whom we lost. All up, well over 2 years. Unbelieveable.. sad.gif sad.gif

Well, it's in gods hands now. I'm not big on the religion, but truthfully, I've done all we can, so now i've just got to have faith. Only he knows when is right. I want now, but we can't tempt fate, so I'm not even going to try anymore. I've passed up the Clomid (for now). I've still got 4-ish cycles remaining I *could* use it for, but I'm not going to - just yet anyway. I've just got to keep praying.. wink.gif

Hope I updated it right unsure.gif


I am finding the TWW really difficult, seems to be going on forever, every twinge I am questioning, and I felt a bit weird earlier (nauseous like) but it could be in my head.
At least i've stopped drinking ph34r.gif laugh.gif

Have a few days until it would be worth testing.

When I was UTD with my DS I didn't even realize I was sort of late (sort of late, a week ph34r.gif )

Having twinges in the same place all the time, been going for a few days now, not constant, not hurting, just feels like little pokes....

I think i'm going out of my mind....

Hi girls!!
I've just popped my head into the 2010 thread, and thought I'd say hello in here too! I'm really new to this game, got married just over a month ago and I don't know your lingo! Can you please tell me what CD is? I'm assuming DPO is days past ovulation? I've only just come off the pill and not sure of my cycle yet, I guess it's just part of the waiting game!

Wishing you all lots of luck this month smile.gif

Hey Calzo - sounds like a plan smile.gif I wish!

OK so what is cycle date? Some numbers are up in the fourties so Im assuming its not the date of the month. Is it how long the cycle goes for?

Not rude at all!

Cycle date is the day of your cycle - Day 1 is the first day of your period (AF = "Aunty Flo" wacko.gif ). Some people have long cycles, hence the larger numbers.

Welcome ladilafe & Katels smile.gif . I hope your stay here is short and sweet.

Snuggles sad.gif I know how upsetting those early BFP's can be. I had a cycle that I'm sure were false positives rather than an early loss and it's so distressing having those moments of happiness and then having it snatched away again. (((Hugs)))

Sorry about AF showing up Stars. Why can't she just do as she's told and stay away? sad.gif

Mimo- Good luck with the Bding. I hope it's lots of fun for you both. laugh.gif

Lady R - I've been meaning to get in touch but been having connectivity issues at work. I'm not back there till next Thursday and I'm now on a new email address, so bear with me, I'll be in touch soon. In the meantime, thinking of ya babe. wub.gif

QUOTE(Calzo @ May 1 2010, 08:42 PM) *

Good luck for this month ladies. I have one week till AF is due and i'm feeling positive...or maybe just wishful thinking wink.gif

I know what you mean. I have days when I feel really positive (like the last few days for me) and I don't know whether I'm fooling myself and I should prepare myself better for a BFN. But I can't help but examine my (almost non existant) symptoms and be thinking it just may be my turn this month. I hope it's yours too. smile.gif

QUOTE(Becca13 @ May 1 2010, 10:04 PM) *

I just want to stop thinking about TTC, it's consuming me, and i'm not at the point of others that have been at it longer than me sad.gif

If only positive thinking worked.....

It's so consuming isn't it? I find it really difficult to think about anything but TTC most of the time. The only time I get distracted enough not to be consumed is when I'm really far too busy with something else. FWIW, I've been totally consumed since last Sept when we started trying. If anything, the first month of trying and then the few after my m/c were probably the most consuming. It doesn't matter whether you're new to this or been here far too long, we all want exactly the same thing, and that's a baby at the end of all this. wub.gif

AFM: I've been having a less focused on TTC month which is probably been good for my mental health. I've been working 12-14 hour days (with no lunch breaks) and been so exhausted at the end of them that I just collapse into bed at the end of the day. We did manage to DTD every day from CD9 to 19 though which was good. This month we used pre-seed as I've had a few dryness issues since the m/c. Fingers crossed it makes a difference. blush.gif

Now I'm just trying to get through the 2ww. I have exams on at the moment so lots and lots of study needs to be done, which is a good distraction too.

However, I have been paying attention to my symptoms and the first 2 really early pg symptoms I had last time were excessive thirst and lots of CM in the days after O leading up to AF time. At the moment I'm on 5DPO and am having both symptoms. My boobs are slightly sore but I often get this before AF as well so I'm not hanging any hopes on that one...

Oh I so hope this is my month. Besides the fact I've wanted to have a baby for what feels like forever now, I also need a really good excuse not to have to work so hard! laugh.gif

Waves to all the ex-cafers who drop in to say hi. wub.gif

Marisa, positive news babe!! I'm keeping everything crossed for you, and that we were right re: your reading being 'off'. I thought as much, cause I sent another email & got an out of office reply. Talk soon xo

Welcome Ladilafe & katels.

To the newbies, there is a thread pinned at the top of the ttc section I believe that will explain all the different acronyms used in here. Might help you understand a bit better. smile.gif

Right-o ladies! I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!

Can someone please add me in to the list?

trezzybree TTC #1 cycle 12+mths ( sad.gif ) CD16

I will swap to DPO in the next few days coz I know I have already "o" but not sure if it was Friday or Saturday.

Great to see some new names in our list! But you oldies - I wish you weren't still here IYKWIM...

We kinda started back TTCing last month even tho after my surgery we weren't supposed to but no harm done. I've just had 2 weeks off work and have been to Bali so I'm rested, relaxed and ready to be UTD! I just hope the universe is listening to me!

Here's some sprinkles for everyone and I hope we have lots of graduates for May!

Tested again this morning, and another BFN. I'm starting to dislike those cheapie HPTs! biggrin.gif

***** Baby dust!! *****
Rachae
Welcome to the new comers!! I hope your stay is a short one!!

I just looked over the list, I cant believe I am 7 DPO already!

This TWW wait is flying by!!!

Now you watch its going to go so slow now that I have realised.

I'm thinking I should order some internet cheapies.. I know I was already a POAS addict when we werent actively trying...

Hmm.. Food for thought..

How was everyones weekends??
Rachae
QUOTE(Lady_R @ Apr 30 2010, 05:51 PM) *

Rachae, have you tried taking EPO (evening primrose oil) capsules?? I've never used them (never needed to, iykwim) but they are very useful for 'upping the anty' with relation to your CM and making more of it / more noticeable. I know Zuzka was using them, and they really helped her. So might be something to think about?

Get thee to those pregnancy multi's asap! Better to be safe than sorry smile.gif



*this is from the April TTC thread but I didnt wanna bump that up...

THanks baby cakes.

And I am on the vitamins.. Even if we are not UTD this cycle, with all my health issues, pretty sure it can only be doing good.
Nicole_R
Trez, you're back! *squeeeeeelll*!!!! so so happy to have you back! wub.gif hope your stay in the cafes is shorter than last time.. smile.gif

Sorry to hear you're stepping back Rosi. sad.gif I really hope you're doing ok after your surgery, and you can be back in here with us in no time. xo

Rach wub.gif glad to hear you're all vitamin-ed up! Long weekend is going along nicely. However we just got rid of one guest (chads best mate was up for a week), & now we've got another. My shit of a brother. He needs somewhere to stay. I'm always happy to help people, but this is like the 4th time i've had to rescue him, and it's always the same shit.. Ggrr.. Just annoyed is all. He's a big boy, I just think he needs to learn to stand on his own two feet for a change.. Ok vent over.

Hope everyone else's weekend is going spiffy!
Becca13
Good morning everybody biggrin.gif

Another day, another DPO wink.gif

Anybody have any symptoms??

They're terrible things. Don't use them. I got BFN's on IC's for about a week after I'd been getting BFP's on FR's. There's still a great chance and I have my fingers crossed for you. smile.gif

I can definitely see 2 lines but I'm not sure what that means exactly as I've never used OPK's. Hopefully you're about to O so quick, get thee to the bedroom and do some rumpy humpy!!! biggrin.gif

Hi Tadpole smile.gif
goodgirl
Welcome Tadpole. smile.gif


Can someone help me over analyse a "symptom". I'm not sure if it's pg related or something's just wrong... wink.gif

My boobs are no longer that sore to squeeze, although they are still fuller than normal (but they do get like that between O & AF anyway). Instead I now have an ache sort of behind my boobs which sort of runs along the top of them and then under the armpits (near where the glands are). Even though I can breathe fine, it sort of causes another ache on my upper back (between and on the shoulder blades). I thought it may have been indigestion or heartburn (which I've never had before) but the symptoms for those suggest I should be having some sort of burning coming up the esophagus?

I'm so confused and I won't be able to get to a doctor until Thursday at the earliest due to exams at the moment.

Any ideas? Can I put it down to being pregnant!? laugh.gif

mimo I can see a line but I think with most OPKs the line has to be the same strength or darker than the control line to be classed as positive. Mine tend to get darker over a couple of days until the test is darker than the control.

Hey Tadpole, welcome!

I have no idea laugh.gif Doesn't sound like heartburn to me though. I hope it can be put down to being pregnant! biggrin.gif
Tigridia
goodgirl - last month my boobs got achey around the sides and hurt all the way from ov to when AF was due (and are still hurting now). They do sometimes hurt intermittently in the second half of my cycle but this was different and sounds similar to what you are describing! I really hope it is a good sign for you smile.gif

Nic - aren't brother's a PITA!!! Mine used to take advantage of me all the time!

Goodgirl....hmmmm on the symptoms....you never know tho so it does sound promising! My fingers are doubley crossed for you!

Hi Tadpole! I love your username! It's so cutes! biggrin.gif

Mimo....unfortunately I couldn't see much as the photo was very small but I do know that the test line needs to be as dark or darker for an OPK to be positive. I hadn't done an OPK for a few months but I did one on Friday arvo and the test line was doubley darker thant he control line! I hope you caught your eggy!

Well must fly ladies as I'm off to Zumba...again!

PS - Hayley - Bali was so fricken awesome! It did rain nearly every day but that didn't stop me from shopping til I dropped, swimming in the pool with the pool bar, drinking cocktails all day and eating until I was stuffed! We are already talking about next years trip! Time to start saving again! hehe tongue.gif

PPS - Tigridia - I don't think I've congratulated you yet so big congrats on your BFP last month!
