Hi MOLLY: Thanks for the encouragment. I really need it. Today I am more depressed than I thought I would be. Probably because I didn't have any other PMS signs. Now I get them all!! Ha! I didn't even get sore bbs this month. I wish my body would make up its mind... My cycle was a little shorter this month 28 v. 31 days. Makes a big difference when trying to time IUI with o-ing. ARGH! MOLLY: do you temp at all?? It can help with trying to find out if you o.

DEA, af sucks. i remember as a teenager i was always so relieved when af would finally get here and now its like i dread her....funny how things change so opposite in several years hey!! well keep positive, i jnw its hard but you have this month to look forward to again.. i find that i always get depressed at the start of the cycle and it takes like a few days for me to get back into the swing of things again and to think positive. this past weekend was great, i worker alot and i managed to keep my mind off of ttc, thats rare for me i usually constantly have it on my mind. I tried the temp thing but i am a casual nurse so i get called in at all hours so it just didnt work out. if i get af this month, im taking december off (off wrrying about it i mean) and in january im going to but an O predictor and start using that, it will be one YEAR ttc december. i had a really rough day yesterday, i realized that my first due date was only a week away!! i m/c in june and would have been due the first week of december. i just imagine now cute i would be with my big baby belly!! i was really depressed for most of the day, i felt so cheated..... wel today im a bit better, i will have another due date and this time i willl reach it, just dont know how long ill have to wait!! well today is cd 21!!! sore boobs are still there. do you think that it would be too soon to get breast tenderness. i think it could be, maybe its my mind working overtime!! well gotta go take care, keep you head up..talk to you soon

Thanks for the kind words MOLLY. I definately feel better today. DH was very supportive and we hugged a lot yesterday. He is disappointed too. I can relate to the "due date" feeling. A lot of times I think to myself "right now we should have a 7 month old"..next month I'll think "right know we should have an 8 month old". It feels never-ending. Cd 21 and sore bbs- you never can tell. My body plays tricks on me ever month. This could be your month! Best of luck- and keep us posted!

Dea, I am so so so sorry that you got a bfn... I was really hoping both of us could get a bfp. I know exactly how you are feeling right now. Molly, I started to get sore bbs 4 dpo. That would have been cd 21 for me. They are still so friggin sore!! I went in today for a blood test to check my hcg and my progesterone levels. I am really really nervous. I hope my progesterone is okay. Well, I am thinking and praying for everyone. ****baby dust******

Hi all! Audrey I am so happy for you!!!!! You will be a great mom! Dea I am sorry that your AF showed. I know how frusterated you must be. I am on CD 10, I think and waiting for my O. I am crossing everything I got to get a BFP. Welcome Trying for 3! Glad you could join our thread. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I will stop by later when I have more time. I just wanted to say a quick hello and congrats to our newest mommy to be Audrey! BABY DUST!!!!

Hi guys something really weird is going on in my body?? i mentioned earleir that i had tender breasts, well today i noticed white spotsin my nipples and when i squeezed them (sorry TMI) a small amount of clear fluid leaked out!! what do you think???

Well, I got my blood tests back today. My progesterone is at 37 and my hcg at 15 dpo is 100. I was wondering if 100 was low, but my doctor seemed to think that it was okay. I go back Wed. for another blood test to see if HOPEFULLY the hcg is increasing! Thanks for all the good wishes. It has been a long road, and I know all you you are going to get bfp's too!

Molly, I didn't experience that.... but you would have to think anything coming out of your nipple would probably be a good sign, right? GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!

bumping us up!

thanks audrey. im not sure what to think of it. im at work today and i went to speak to one of the nurse practitioners and she feeels that it may be a good sign?? she said that it could be from a number of causes, it could be caused by thyroid problems(cant be this cause i had it checked 2 months ago); it could happen if your having lots of rough bding(not my problem) she also said that it could be from hormone changes being that af is near!! anyway she smiled alot and thinks that it may be a good sign. i dont know what to think. im scared to get my hopes up and be dissappointed like the other months! im just confused. ~baby dust to all~

Hi- I just found this website a couple nights ago. Thank goodness! We have been ttc for almost a year, and just started femera. Clomid didn't work. Anyway, my sister tried for 7 years and all she heard was "well, are you pregnant yet?" so we haven't told anyone we are trying except my sister. Now I can talk to people so thanks...

Hi all. Molly have you had your Prolactin levels checked? High levels could make your breasts produce fluids like you are describing. Also, it could be the reason you MCed at 14 weeks. I would talk to my doctor about it as soon as I could. And on the other hand you could be pregnant. I think with my pregnancies it was later before I noticed any fluid coming out of my nipples. Keep us posted. Hi Jen, welcome to our circle. Glad you stopped by. I do not blame you for not telling people you are TTC. I do not tell anyone either. It is very hard to hear from ther very few I have told, are you pregnant yet. It gets on my last nerve. Audrey, I am glad to hear your testing went well. Your Progesterone looks good and I think you HCG does too. You are right on track. Well ladies you all have a blessed and happy day. BABY DUST!

Hi everyone. I have been reading your thread for sometime and thought I would finally join in. I am 37-soon to be 38 next month and am ttc #2. I have a 19 month old daughter who was my first surprise. I was married for 13 yrs and ttc and never happened-DH had a low sperm count and we couldnt afford to get any help. Well I got divorced and was with current DH for almost 5 yrs before we got married and tried to conceive and nothing.Only thing they ever found wrong was 2 cysts on my left ovary which they removed in 2000. Well fast forward to my wedding Aug 2003 and I got pregnant on our honeymoon! I was shocked to say the least.We had already resigned ourselves to the fact there would be no children when we got married so our little miracle was such a blessing. Well she is 19 months and I have not been on BC at all since her birth. We really hadnt been trying till this past month, but we did nothing to stop it either. DH wants to try for another baby, but we already agreed that we can't afford to get any medical help per se and he wants to leave it up to God. Well hopefully I can try to help it along. Am going to get a thermometer and try charting-any other suggestions? Am on day 22 on my cycle and expecting AF on the 8th of Dec. Hopefully you all dont mind me joining in with you all- I really need someone to talk to as all my friends are fertile Myrtles and think I am crazy, Baby Dust to everyone!

hello all I'm new to this so give me some time LOL I've been reading all your stories and decited its time for me to join. I've been laughing and cring to the reading all the happy sad and angry moments all of you have had. While getting weird looks from my DH lol. I have I have been married once before but got remarried after a horrible divorce and now working on my husbands first child. We have been "trying" now for about 2 months but have been unprotected for alot longer with no luck its so nice to have women out there to talk to when it seems all hope is gone. Lots and lots of ~ BABY DUST ~to all of you and looking very forward to getting to know you all

This is for Audrey...I just read your story and wanted to ask you how long your cycle is and if you used a opk. How long have you been ttc and did you do anything different to finally get pregnant?
