robbie...glad you checked in.

please take care of yourself, we''re all here for you. i wish you and your DH luck in trying again and think it''s a good that you both have made a decision on whether or not to keep it quiet when it does happen again for you. i waited to tell everyone (except my parents) until after 12 wks just because i knew if something bad happened i wouldn''t want to have to explain/discuss it with others IRL. i think it''s a personal choice, as many people do feel it is easier to lean on others in tough times too so i''m glad that you and your DH have decided what works for you.

best of luck!
 
Yay for moving in a good direction Sunkist! I know what it''s like to prefer to have a baby at a certain time, but I''m struggling with that right now. We''ll be moving in June, so it would make sense for us to wait another month or two so that I''m not due right around the time when we move, but it''s so hard for us to wait! We still might try this month even though that would make me due the same month we move!

Robbie, glad to see you''re back here and that you and DH decided to try again right away.

LittleL, it''s so good to have you back too! No, we haven''t found any thermometers yet, but I''m making do till I can get one.

Anyone else who is charting having trouble sleeping? I know Robbie has mentioned before that her wake-up time kept getting earlier and earlier because she was excited to temp in the morning. I''ve always been a super light sleeper, so I wake up often through the night and in the morning. I''ve been waiting until I wake up for good to take my temperature, but it''s usually not after 3 hours of sleep. But I''m afraid to take my temp. when I wake up the first time (usually around 4) because I have such trouble sleeping that I think I won''t be able to fall back asleep. I already get up at 5:30 and only get about 7 hours of sleep a night, so I really don''t want to start waking up for good much earlier. I''m hoping that as long as I''m consistent I''ll still see a pattern, but I guess we will see as I am due to ovulate sometime in the next week if my cycle is regular this month.
 
Pandora, I''ve been playing with FF, and if I search first cycle after miscarriage and bd pattern like mine (using my bfp cycle), it''s 44% pregnancy, and 0% miscarriage. I don''t think that can really be right, but I''ll pretend like it is anyway.

Lulu, if FIL says one more insensitive thing I''m going to insist that DH say something to him. I''ve hinted at it a few times, but he hasn''t volunteered. I knew he wouldn''t though. DH is very non-confrontational. I think what will most likely happen is that DH will say something to his mom and she will say something to his dad.

Indy, thanks for the thoughts and hugs.

Lysser, I think FIL''s comments are a combo of not knowing what to say and always having something negative to say.

DD, I think I''d feel really good initially to make some snappy comeback, but then I''d just feel bad because he really is a nice person who isn''t trying to hurt me. I mean, I know he loves DH and I (He''s at our house working on something almost every day) and I think he''d feel awful if he knew that he was making it worse. Seriously though, one more comment and something will be said to him.

Sbde, I think something that DH and I learned is that we really just feel more comfortable leaning on each other during times like this. I also remembered that I really don''t like being the center of attention (how''d I forget that one?) and when parents started talking shower, I felt myself getting a bit panicky about having to open presents in front of people even though it would''ve been months away. So, waiting til after the first tri is over will let me avoid that for as long as possible too.
 
Just wanted to throw out there too that getting a bfp this cycle would give us a July EDD which is what DH has said he wanted from the beginning (his birthday is in July). With the way my cycle was before, a bfp in November would''ve given us an end of July EDD. If I ovulate around when I have been, this cycle would give an early July EDD.

I kind of had a feeling from the beginning that even though he kept saying he didn''t want to try until November, we''d get on vacation and he''d change his mind and we''d start in August. I also thought that even with him changing his mind we''d still end up with a July baby. So, I guess we''ll know in a few weeks if I''m psychic or not

Robbie-I''m glad you''re back.
Sorry about your FIL, some people just don''t know how to deal with difficult situations. I hope your DH says something.

Sounds a lot like my FIL, who can''t help but make slightly critical/silly comments (when we told them we were preggo he asked if it was planned
20.gif
). Probably best to ignore if it is just doofusness, not actual meaness.
 
My FIL said something very similar. I believe it was "You couldn''t wait a little longer?"
 
Good to hear from you, Robbie.

I''m sorry your FIL isn''t being the best right now. Hopefully it''s all out of his system by now and he''ll act right at his birthday party.

We''ll be hoping good thought on that front!!

Hi Robbie. It''s good to see around :) I think you would have a very high chance of getting pregnant again in the next 1-3 months. I''m happy for you guys that you''re ready to try again, and I think the odds are all in your favor!

Thanks Fisher, Brgirl, and Sabine for your experiences on trying to plan out a due date. I''m starting to feel how it seems everyone else has ended up, I don''t care when I''m pregnant, I''d just like to get pregnant! Maybe we can start in November as a b-day present for my hubby

Robbie..so glad 2 hear from u..so sorry about the heartache from all ends but im glad ur tryin again right away ..I always think that''s the best! And I sooo agree about not tellin anyone until 3 months...I myself wanted 2 do that but my sister ..who was part of the whole fertility process...knew and kinda pushed me into tellin everyone and I regret that decision now but nothing I can do but hope everything will go well...sitting at the docs office now..to get u/s about big cyst..ugh!
 
Robbie SO glad to see you back in your ol'' spirit again ;) I think it''s great that you''re jumping back on the wagon. I know it''s scary, but in the end, we want healthy babies...so it''s kinda nice to think that the NEXT pregnancy is going to be THE healthy happy pregnancy for you. I feel like you''re going to get KTFU before we can say the word pregnant. hehe.

Hiya everyone! Always thinking of you girls

and hoping to see ALL of you on the Barely preggo thread soon

Day 4 here. Period''s over (they''re always incredibly short, usually 2 days, sometimes part of a third day). My temps though have been above what was the coverline for my last cycle. Is that common?

They''ve not been high, high (ranging from 97.9 to 97.74), but they are higher than last cycle in the first few days (ranging from 97.9 to 97.2). I just wonder if the temps stay up until after your period''s over and then slide lower into the pre-ovulatory range.

I''m off to check and see if I can find other charts like this at FF''s website.
 
Fishy, my chart was like that. i think it's pretty common. A lot of women don't even start temping until a few days in. I wouldn't worry about it!

Robbie & LL and all the rest of you back in the saddle (ahem), I'm cheering for you girls!
 
Hey, guys. Not sure if this means anything or not, but I woke up to my lower back hurting and also smells have been bothering me all weekend. These were two of the signs I had when I got pregnant with my son, so we will see. I have to wait another week before I can test, but I am excited!
 
Good luck Steph!

I figured since this thread has been fairly slow lately I''d get it started with some excitement this Monday morning. I haven''t been posting much lately, mostly because after trying for so long it just got really mundane for me to keep announcing what day I was, etc. and then end the month with my period. So I sort of took a break from posting much.
I have to tell you my review of the internet pregnancy tests is not good. Yesterday, on 12 DPO, I used one and there was nothing-it was definitely negative. But this morning my digi came back positive!! I thought the internet ones were supposed to be so much more sensitive!!

Anyway, we are both super excited although a little nervous. I hope this time the little bugger made it to the right place! I didn''t post this because I would have sounded crazy, but I''ve really known since 3 DPO that I was preggers. The girls gave it away. They''ve been sore since 3 DPO and there are crazy blue veins bulging from them. They also feel heavier, so I''m sure they''ll have a growth spurt soon (I''m terrified of this, I''m starting at a 32D so I may be reaching the ends of the alphabet!!)
So, I''m anxiously waiting for my doctors office to open so I can call. I know they''ll follow HCG levels until they can ultrasound and confirm where it is.
 
I forgot to add that this makes me 4wk 1 d.

And Dreamer-not only do you have impressive knowledge of all things fertillity related, but also appearantly an ability to predict things. I don''t know if you remember this or not, but you told me it would take 8 months, and it did!!
 
Congratulations Tiffany!

I got a very faint line on an IC and a positive digi the next day. I''m not sure that they are more sensitive, but mine were always accurate and meant I could afford to indulge my POAS addiction without a bank loan!

What is your EDD? Are you the first PS June baby???
 
Thanks Pandora!
My EDD is June 7, 2009.
 
tiffanytwisted, congratulations! What a wonderful way to end 8 months of trying, that is fantastic!

Sending lots of good wishes and sticky vibes your way! I agree with you on the IC tests, the exact same thing happened to me last month. Negative with the IC, positive the very next day with a digital, which are not supposed to be very sensitive, especially compared to the IC tests. Either way, you got a BFP!!

tiffany, congrats! AND better yet you will avoid the hot summer months. It was weeks of 100+ degrees during my last couple months. I envy you!

Thanks Lindsey and Tacori!

I''m actually thrilled to be due in early June. I was getting a bit worried about being preggers during the hot summer months. I already don''t tolerate heat well (and I live in the humid mid-west)
 
Tiffany I have never been more happy to be right about anything!

I am so happy for you, you've just had to face that much more trials and tribulations TTC, you deserve the break! I am curious, with a history of ectopic does it put you at higher risk this time? When will they be able to know for sure where the little bean lodged? I am feeling good that it is where is belongs this time, I hope you were sending it all the right vibes this time around and ordering it where to go!
