See? This really IS a lucky thread! Congratulations Blairmama! That's SO AWESOME... you mus be absolutely extatic! I'm so excited for you. I went to try and see the image (I'm assuming it's a pee stick?) but still couldn't see it even with the link. Hmmmm... keep trying! Hey slowpoke, your FIL sounds like a great guy. And how cool that you have that opportunity to run the rental. I wish I had a rental property. So, you have horses? Did I tell you that I'm planning to open a horse boarding (and lessons eventually) business? Hmmm, I could really use your insight... I just wouldn't want to bore everyone else here. I'm actually starting an 8 wk class here in a couple of weeks and buy the end of it I should be ready for starting it up. So exciting. Anyway, I'm glad your spotting seems to have slowed down, at least for the day. I hope it is on it's way out so you can get back to feeling more yourself again. I know it sucks to spot for so long, I seem to do it every month. Lalilove, I'm sorry your temps are dropping. It is very discouraging to feel so optimistic on your first round of Clomid and then have AF show up, but if it does, just know your chances are still increased for next month... they might increase your dosage... did you Ovulate, I don't remember? Well, nothing to report here except that today is CD3 and I started my clomid and since the first month I was on vacation without DH when I O'd and last month I started the clomid too early, maybe THIS month will be my month. Especially since my dosage increased? Hey "third time is a charm" right? Let's hope so. Anyhooo, congrats again to Blairmama, and Babydust and belly rubs to the rest of us (and HI to everyone I left out)

Congrats Blairmama, yepper, that is definately a positive!! Welcome to the wonderful world of pregnancy. Hopefully you don't get morning sickness!! I am 13 weeks today and starting to feel a little better. My belly is definately starting to pop out a bit! Yeah! I love showing. On the other forum I post on some of the girls don't like that they are showing already and are trying to hide it w/ wearing bigger cloths, and I love it! I think pregnant woman are beautiful w/ their big bellies!! I would rather have someone tell me I look pregnant, than be like Oh, your so small, your not even showing yet. I want to show!! Slow - on the whole bleeding thing, even after you think you have stopped bleeding, I would wear a liner for at least a week or 2. When I had my m/c I don't remember how many days I bled for, but then I stopped for a few days and I was at work and went to the bathroom and there it was again and then I bled for like 3 more days and then it finally stopped. So just be prepared. I would have been really embarrassed if I hadn't gone to the bathroom and caught it right away!! Well, I hope some more of you get your BFP's soon!! I'll check in again soon.

Hello ladies! I hope that you are all having a great Friday! Congratulations Blairmama! Melissa - I am SO excited for you! I think this is the ticket! Ya never know, you might end up with a few little bundles! Slowpoke - How is the bleeding going? I am so sorry, I know exaclty what you are going through and how hard it is. Step - Are they increasing your dose of Clomid this month? That's going to do the trick! I am sorry that I have been so neglectful. But I am ready to get back in the game. We can't officially start trying until November, but I am getting ready. November will be here soon, I can't believe how fast the summer went. Today is the first official day of fall. Wow! Minnesota is cold and wet! Anyways, I hope everyone is well and has a great weekend.

Good morning ladies. I'm once again watching A Baby Story. I'm such a freakin' sap! Anyway, I have to leave in a few minutes for the doc appt to follow up on everything. Yes, I'm on an increased dose of Clomid this month, so I really hope this one works. I've been staying pretty positive each month, but I have a feeling I'm gonna start taking a turn for the worse attitude-wise if it doesn't happen soon! I hope you all have a gread day ladies! Much love...

hey Step - that baby story show makes me depressed - i just want to get pregnant so badly!! let us know how your doc appt goes today - gl!! Trust me i thought i would get pregnant so easily and here i am a year and a half later and no baby - it sucks but sometimes it just takes more time for others - I try and stay positive but its so hard when you want something so bad that you cant control. Okay enough of that - baby wishes to all!!

i just got back from the doctor. she put me at 12 weeks already. i have an ultrasound on monday to make sure things are going alright and also that its not ectopic.. because of the cramps i've had. i cant believe 12 weeks. that doesnt sound right to me haha.. 12 weeks is almost my second trimester. i say at most im 8 weeks. although i dont think i'd mind skipping my first trimester all together.. i hate being sick! uhg! but im with you tammy.. i LOVE the idea of showing. pregnancy is so beautiful! lately i've been feeling like my body [from my neck to my hips anyway] is not my own. haha.. its so strange. good luck to all of you! i cant wait to hear about the BFP's that are coming to you guys.

Congratulations Blairmama! Wow, 12 weeks already. I, too had irregular cycles and last year I didn't know I was pregnant until I was on my 8th week, sad to say I miscarried the following week. My DH and I decided to see a fertility specialist to regulate my cycle. I had 3 cycles of Clomid 50 mg, the first and second cycles I did IUI. I got pregnant with my third cycle without IUI when I thought I didn't ovulate, Stepmommel...as you said "third is a charm". I do hope it will work for you too. On your question whether I want a boy or a girl, I prefer a girl but a boy would be fine too. My husband and I have names ready for either one :-)

AHHHH AHHH AHHHH another BFP!!!! YAY!!! Congrats BLAIRMAMA!!! pass some of that leftover baby dust to us! :)
cmelissa...I will be praying for you too. I know this time it will work! Baby wishes and bunddles of prayers your way! I cant even see a BABYSTORY because I'll start crying!
step....how many rounds of clomid have you done? Ive heard you can only do so many? What have you found out? Good luck with your future business endevour, I know your business will do well. The only hard thing is starting it. Good luck.
And Gals .... continue praying for each other..we all need it...even the BFP ones.
As for me AF showed her nasty face yesterday...I was devastated! But at least I didn't take it as bably because I saw my temps start decreasing. I am doing once again another round of clomid same 50 mg days 3-7 but I think Im gonna start to take it on days 2-6...just for the heck of it. Hopefully this will do it! Keep fingers crossed for me.
Take care my beautifuls...have a great weekend.
luv luv

Blairmama, wow, 12 weeks already!! Dang. I found out when I was 4!! When was your last period? I turned 13 weeks on Thursday and my last Af was June 22, which means if you are 12 weeks, your last AF would have been the week after that. 12 weeks just seems like a really long time to not know if you are pregnant or not!! But think of it this way, at least if you are that far along already, the worst part is almost over and if you are feeling crappy, you will be feeling better soon!! That actually happened to my cousin. She found out she was preggers and because she had a stillborn at like 18 weeks pg w/ her last pregnancy, they did a u/s right away on her and dated her 4 weeks further along than she thought she was. Here she had gotten what she thought was her period the 1st month, so obviously didn't think she was pregnant. so anything is possible!! My husband is finally going to tell his mother next weekend. She is probably going to be mad since how I will be in my second trimester already and showing!! Oh well. I think she could really care less. We really don't get along and she only wanted us to have 1. But he has to tell her because she is coming to visit the first weekend in October and she will obviously know by looking that I am not as skinny as I was the last time she saw me. Sometimes I look pregnant and sometimes I just look like I had too many beers the night before! Speaking of beer, I was naughty last night and had a 1/2 beer. My hubby and I went to the bar for a party and I couldn't help it. The doc. even said a beer or glass of wine every now and then isn't going to harm anything.....So, I gave in!! And let me tell you, I savored every last drop of that baby knowing it will be a while before i have another one!! I'm not sure if I am going to find out the sex or not. I am kinda leaning towards not finding out this time. I think it would be nice to have that little surprise the day you deliver...... I will have my u/s around 19/20 weeks, so about 7 weeks yet before I would be able to find out. I will definately keep you updated as to whether I find out or not. Fall is here.....YUCK! I hate cold weather. I am in wisconsin, right next to lake michigan, so it gets cool here really fast. I am not looking forward to winter, I hate snow!!

well.. i dont think my doctor knows what she's talking about haha. 12 weeks isnt possible because we werent doing anything around that time. at most i can be 9 weeks. yeah.. i go months without af.. so thats why i stopped testing altogether. i was just getting let down. my last af started june 26th.. and was a normal 7 days. and since then.. nothing except that brown spotting. they're checking me for ectopic on monday because of the cramps i was having. i have an u/s and a bunch of blood work that day as well. wish me luck.. i dont think i can handle finding out its not healthy or ectopic right now. it would just break my heart. so im really praying this one is healthy and full term. i fully trust God knows best.. but i also know He knows how badly i want this baby. so.. we'll see. i think im around 7 weeks which puts me due around may 6th. chris and i are planning on moving into a house come march.. and my dad is going to live with us as well. it will be really nice. also.. chris has been coming around a little more. he's not thrilled as much as he is stressed.. but he's a little more excited. has anyone seen the movie the ring? you know the girl who's in the video tape? her name is samara. thats the name chris wants for a girl. UHG! haha. i thought he was joking.. but he's totally serious. what do you guys think? melissa- that IS a lot to remember.. but i think you'll be fine. good luck to all of you! speaking of A Baby Story.. i really would like to be on it.. i've been thinking that for years. and i always told chris we would. i guess i might have to look into it now. hehe..
