Let me know if I missed anyone.  I tried to put it in order so you could find your cycle buddy.  Yay - new thread to fill up.  SSBD and let's pray for more BFP's!

Hi all!  Bam just told me about the cycle buddies thread, I was MIA for like 2 weeks, but now I'm back.  It took me like an hour to read all the posts on this thread, and wow there is so much going on that I missed.  Well I am CD10 and waiting on O.

Just wanted to take a minute and say good luck to everyone TTC and those who already have.  We wouldn't know each other if we didn't know already that things can sometimes go wrong.  But with out those heartaches we would never get to experience the truely good things in our lives the way we do.  I believe that someday we will all get to know the happiness you get when you hold your baby in your arms for the first time, and I think we will get to experience it a little clearer and a little more gratefully than if these heartaches would have never happened.  Today started out being a really rough day for me, but then I started to read all of your posts, and realized I wasn't in it alone.  Again,  good luck and lots of love and babydust!

what if dani just creates a new account?

[bam1014]

At the very least, make sure that you keep taking your prenatals and are getting at least 800mg of folic acid a day.  Upon nunu's advice I am also taking Fish Oil.  If you do get a BFP it's good for brain development and other things.  Nunu and I put out a post a few weeks ago called Vitamin Supplements for increased CM.  While it's not specifically egg related, it does include all of the research we've done.
Good luck SSBD!

Steph  - I agree.  I told Dani I've never checked my facebook so much before and everytime I log on, sure enough there is a message.  Poor thing really wants to get back on here.  MH better figure this out soon!!

[GMB08]

i take vitamins...drink oj every am....i eat a balanced diet....exercise....take care of yourself...get sleep...good nutrition...both of you! cant hurt to be healthy

[steph9803]

Bam- It's definatly possible, but it doesn't make this wait any easier...As you and Dani say, I'm in the NECOT! I keep expecting to see Dani's name on here :( It's getting a little ridiculous

[7preg3b]

wow,  I am excited to have cycle buddies..  Its good to know people are all at the same point..  I will BD every other day..  starting FRiday..  are there any supplements we can take to help us have a nice healthy mature egg??  

[bam1014]

AP - too funny!  Too bad my DH's nickname is already the "one second wonder" :)  He'd be mortified knowing I said that.  But we always do it in the middle of the night / morning when he wakes up good and ready.  Now we have a running joke . . . I always need a glass of water in the middle of the night, so he'll poke me and ask bd for water?  Yes, than I don't have to get out of bed :)  Woke me up at 3:30 this morning.  I guess he took it to heart when I told him this was an important week.  At least we are getting the bd'ing in and the dog's too sleepy to bother us.
Steph - hang in there.  I know how disappointing it must be to have no AF and no BFP.  Is there any possibility that you O'd later then you thought?
Got an e-mail from Dani this morning, so she still must not be able to get on . . .

I'll try to get a new thread started today, if somebody doesn't beat me to it first.

[steph9803]

Thanks, I really am glad I have you guys to talk to :D I don't think anyone else would understand how sad it is to not see that second line. I wish we were made with built in pregnancy indicators like your pee turning blue or something...lol Life would be so much easier!

[ArmyPrincess819]

Too fumny! Last night I was lmao my dh said tell the girls on there it's usually 5 mins or so. I said I already have that covered! Ha. I told my dh I need to find a new hobby now the we are no longer ttc! Poor guy now he can finally rest! Ha!!!!

Ps. I'm sorry about your bfn. Good luck to you my friend if you need to vent I'm here!!

[GMB08]

lol..it is beautiful.....but yes..cold.....and lots of it!!!! im sorry for your bfn.....im sure it must be annoying....lets think positive!

[steph9803]

Good morning! Hope everyone is having a wonderful day :D
GMB- I got a BFN again yesterday. Last week I had this feeling that I was really going to get my BFP. I don't have that feeling anymore. It is still possible because I'm on CD33 and still no AF. I have nothing going on but sore BBS. I was sick all weekend and I think I'm over it now, but I don't even feel sleepy like I normally due before AF. I don't know how all of you put up with all of that coldness!! I would lock myself up in my house and panic if I had that much snow...lol I have never seen more than an inch or two in my life.

[GMB08]

hello everyone, hope everyone had a nice weekend...thank you steph for your message.....i dont have a facebook...we got 18 in of snow last night..it is cold in pa! how is everyone...dani...are u back yet???? mapes how are u feeling????? steph...have u tested again???? bam....when are u supposed to o??? we need to update our forum

[steph9803]

It's not the same without Dani on here. I can't believe they told her they would have it fixed in 10 minutes...YESTERDAY! How crazy is that? You'd think they would have fixed it by now!

[steph9803]

I know right. Lord knows I'm pretty tired after taking care of my little ones and cooking and cleaning and running everyone where they need to be!
Bam-Tell DH you need to enjoy it now b/c one you have that baby you'll be doing good to get in a quickie for the second...lol
AP- DH is just happy he is getting it constantly so he doesn't mind doing all of the work ;-P

[ArmyPrincess819]

Omg! Too funny!!!!! I'm going to give tmi but oh well! LOL.. BDing everyday does not sound as tiresome as you think. You take 5-15 mins right before you go to bed you don't even have to move, lay on your side and away you go. There were some nights it was 5 mins and the tv went off and off to dream land we go! Ha I have so many tricks up my sleeve you wouldn't even believe it. Hey this wasn't too bad. Ayway for Erica and Steph YOU GO GIRLS!!!!!!!

GOOD LUCK LADIES AND I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST.........LOTS OF BABY DUST!!

[bam1014]

I wrote the following in another post, but thought I would add it here, so as to update.

I haven't had my surge yet either.  But, like you [nunu] expect it any day now.  I'm so excited to know that I can pick the pre-seed up tomorrow.  I really can't wait to try it out.  I've had so much stress with school that I'm almost afraid that I will O late.  I also started temping this morning, so we'll see how that goes.  Waiting stinks.  In the wise words of Dani - stupid NECOT!!

7pregB - we are here for you.  So sorry about so many losses.  Now AF has arrived and hope has renewed and you can TTC again!!  Big HUGS!

Erica/Steph/AP - I still don't know how you guys can bd everyday!  That's just beyond my scope.  Somedays I feel like DH and I are just too old :(  He's 10 years older then me and can be a real grumpy cuss some days!  We are doing good at every other, but I hope the pre-seed can spice some things up for us.

Dani still can't get on.  She is going through MH withdrawl.  We may have to have a mass protest tomorrow if MH can't fix her login :)

[ArmyPrincess819]

Hey Steph I saw you comment. I BD'd everyday! It works. I think it's much more accurtate than the opk's. Go for it and good luck!!!! Lots of baby dust!!!!!

[EricaB28]

it's not cheap ttc...lol!

[steph9803]

CD32- BFN still no signs of AF
Erica- I am thinking about BD'ing everday next month too. I'm thinking of doing the OPK's but since my cycle is so nutty right now I don't know if I want to buy that many.

[EricaB28]

def. going to ttc this month, although I don't really know how I'm going to know how long my cycle will be ( seems to be a little messed up right now..) We'll just have to BD every day..too bad, LOL :) hope all is well with you

[steph9803]

That's great news! Well now that you have a starting place I can't wait for you to get you BFP!! Are you going to ttc this month?

7preg3b- I am so sorry for all of your losses. I couldn't imagine going through that ever again. Congrats on AF. I have 3 children and am praying for one more. I'm glad you decided to come join us. This a wonderful group of women.

[EricaB28]

Finally got 1st AF after only a short 14 weeks LOL!!  Very happy, and can't wait to ttc again :)

[7preg3b]

yes this is my first Af after my delivery at 18 weeks.  IT just arrived today..  yeah..   Now my cycle begins..  Thanks for welcoming me,  I've had 4 losses (1 at 6 weeks with an irregular yolk sac, a missed m/c at 12 weeks, an ectopic and lost right tube, and my last one at 18 weeks, delivered Baby Cooper 8.5 inches and 6 ounces.  I have 4 healthy children at home 16,13,10 and 1,  Now I need a playmate for 1 year old..  I am very anxious about trying again,  so it is great to have the support of people who have been there.  

[steph9803]

I was just thinking earlier that I hadn't seen you on here!
