Hey everybody. I don't have time to read all the posts I missed but I wanted to pop in and say hi. I hope everyone is doing well. I can't WAIT until this week is over so I can breathe again! OMG. The old lady can't handle this schedule any more! Lol. - PERL- In case you need to go early and I don't get to talk to you again first - GOOD LUCK! My thoughts and prayers will definitely be with you and your family. After things settle down for you, I can't wait to read all about the birth and your new little son. Take care of yourself. Anti-itching dust to you and baby dust to everyone else.

Perl - Good Luck! I am very excited for you. It's funny how time flies and its seems that August came so quickly, summers coming to an end, and your big day is so close. And yet, time also seems to be dragging on the day to day waiting. Hopefully we'll be celebrating some more bfps this month! Baby Dust To All!

Coming out of "lurker" mode to say HI to everyone. cd26 for me. AF should show up by week's end. If she shows up on time, we'll actively TTC this month. If not, we'll wait one more cycle. Baby dust to all. PERL - Wishing you a safe, smooth, and speedy delivery & recovery.

Can't seem to count - it's cd27 for me.

Hi everyone. Perl-all my wishes and hopes for you and your family. I'm on cd8. I think a few of us are on the same cycle. My ob's nurse said that cd1 included the spotting days. She told me this bc they are going to do my FSH on cd3 but I read that cd1 is the first day of real flow. What day are you all using? I also read an article about Licopene helping male fertility so I'm going to add some vitamins to my husbands food!! I bought Preseed for this month but I'm still afraid to use it. I read the whole sight and tried to find independent research but can't find any. Oh what the heck, I tried eggwhites!


JuliaB - August 14th, 2008 6:45 AM

Here it is, cd22, and I am very anxious to test. My normal cycle is 26 days, but my hormoned-cycles have been about 28 which is Wednesday. My dr said if af does not arrive by Wednesday, then call for a blood test, but I still think I want to test earlier. What is the earliest anyone has had a bfp with an early home test? I am tired of spending money for disappointment, but I am happy to spend it on hope, so I am just trying to be realistic. Baby Dust to Everyone!!


JuliaB - August 14th, 2008 6:50 AM

TEXAS22 - There are reviews on Amazon regarding the Preseed, Amazon sells several different products, and several had generally positive reviews. That made me feel better, but I don't know yet if it actually works.

Hello LAdies, I am cd27..felt a little crampy but my temp was still slightly elevated this morning..My af has not arrived yet..but I am expecting it any day now. I still have not had my referral yet..it has been 3 weeks...wth? Julia..try to hold off on testing too early to aviod disappointment. I think you can test up to 3-5 days before depending on the brand and length of your cycle..but only if you are getting some strong symptoms that would make you truly want to test otherwise you could be wasting money for being too early. Try to wait until day af is due. I wasted alot of money in previous cycles..I thin back and think what a waste..The one time I was 4 days late and had a faint line which later turned out to be negative by blood test. Anyway..all the best to you all...BABY DUST..and KRissy..I just read back to a post where you ask how I was..I am doing great..despite the fact I am not preggers yet..but I amok with that as I am enjoying my 20 month old. I am trying not to stress as much..we'll see if that makes any differnce in the coming months. XO and hello to all!!


Krissy68 - August 14th, 2008 3:05 PM

Kristin72 - I am keeping my fingers cross for you. I am on cd 11 and I am going to start using my opk test strip tomorrow I only have 7 so I hope I get lucky with when I am ovulating. Krissy68


Kristin72 - August 14th, 2008 4:00 PM

Best of luck Krissy..and happy bedding!!!


Kristin72 - August 15th, 2008 9:23 AM

Good morning..quick update. I am on cd 28 my temp rose again and no af..I feel crampy though :P Af should be here by now?? Who konw's..I have a test but do not want to test unless af has been missed for a few days. Hope everyone else is great..I will read any updates later as I am out the door!! Baby DUst!!!


Kristin72 - August 15th, 2008 3:29 PM

Ok Ladies! I couldn't wait to take the test..and for good reason. BFP!! 6 months of trying and preggers on the 7th. I did the Clear Blue Brand test. The line is sorta faint but DEFINITELY there. I am not late for my af. But tomorrow I would be. I am cd28 and 11 dpo's. I guess now I have to confirm this with a bloodtest..and then I will need an early ultrasound as another ectopic is always a possibility. Have not told the dh yet. I will wait till I get a confirmation from my bloodwork. So...I will update when I get my confirmation. Baby Dust to all !!!XO and thank you everyone for all your support throughout..I know I have not been around here as much but maybe me not stressing has played a role..


Krissy68 - August 15th, 2008 6:23 PM

Kristin72 - I am so happy for you Congrats to you when are you doing the blood test? Please keep us posted. Krissy68


JuliaB - August 16th, 2008 8:03 AM

Kristin - Congratulations! I am VERY happy for you!! Hopefully you have started a trend. :)


Hopeful and excited - August 16th, 2008 1:28 PM

FFAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNTTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSTTIICC NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo thrilled for you Kristin. I have been checking in on this site nearly every day since my last post and hoping and hoping that you'd be joining me soon. Wonderful wonderful news - I'm jumping for joy for you. Big Hugs!! All's well with me - at the 14 week mark now. Have had a bladder infection which was a bit of a worry and have had to take penicillin but it seemed to knock most of it on the head. Have to keep a check on it though - along with sugar levels (which are fine at the moment thank goodness!) as I was borderline diabetic last pregnancy. Getting a bump already but the news is out so I can proudly show it off. Great stuff. DD is a darling (with a bump on her nose from falling over today!!!!) and is going to be such a great big sister I just know it. Anyway, as JuliaB said - I really hope that Kristin's news is the start of a new trend on this thread as I'm willing you all on to get your BFPs soon. Baby dust in truckloads to you all XOXOXOX


Kristin72 - August 16th, 2008 1:31 PM

Thank you so much Krissy and Julia. I am really excited..and of course in disbelief..but I have been fantisizing about the future and another little one. I went to the doctors and got a rec for an early ultrasound plus a referral to a gyno. I have one now but she is a little bit far away and I only met her when I had my ectopic just one time. I had my blood test and will not know the results until Monday afternoon. However, I bought another 2 pack of tests and it came up dark BFP!!! Wow..I did not think it would happen for me. It has been a long hard road. I am just praying for a healthy baby at this point :)... In fact I am not that religious..but my husband is Greek Orthodox..anyway we were at a Greek baptism last weekend and I made a wish on candle in the church "for God to bless me with a healthy baby" again. I truly feel like my prayers were answered..but I know to well it is a long road ahead. I will remain here on this site for support for you all... You guys have been my rock..xoBye for now..
