CD26ish Buddies, how are you doing?

LottaLattes

(This is an open group, anyone else can join in!)

LottaLattes	I?m awesome!
TMaggie0424	Big *HUGS* today (I checked the calendar this time, doh) and I still have my everything crossed for you for a BFP this cycle.
kristie2422	I hope the rest of this cycle goes by super speedy for you!!
s0ulchicken	How are things going for you?  What day is your anniversary?
erinfiona	I'm still planning to test Saturday but my will is definitely weakening!  Are you still able to control yourself??? I had a stupid dream that I got a really dark BFP on CD7 because I was having twins, so it was really dark super early. Ridiculous.
amidkiff	Any luck on the OPK front yet?  *HUGS*
cbentley003	Hope you?re doing okay and hanging in there!
Katmacwv	Did you test yesterday?  Or today?  Any news?
LoveofMikesLife	When is AF officially due, what day are you testing?  Good luck!!
AppleJack83	Still peeing every day?    Hope you have a BFP to report soon!
E3A7AGGIE	What day is your birthday?  I call October Birthday Month, because I have a lot in my immediate family?everyone but me!

My GTKY today, do you use just one brand of HPT?  What brand(s) do you use? 

I have a fully stocked house this time with FRERs (3-pack!), Wondfos, just to make sure, and a CBE Digital (better to photograph, will only use it if I get a + on another one, stupid).  Hope you're all doing well, and the 2WW goes by quickly and with the desired results!!

AF is "due" Monday. My cycles used to be 5 weeks instead of 4. But we will see what happens now. I won't be testing unless AF is late. I might even try to hold out until the 17 just because that would be week 5 for me.

Hello everyone!!!

My anniversary is October 18. This will be our second anniversary. I am really bummed though, because I just found out today that I will be out of town on that day for a deposition. I have spent more time away from my DH in the past two months than I have in the 3 years that we've been together.

 

GTKY of the day...I use FRER and the $$ store. This is our first TTC cycle, so I didn't know how many to buy. I have 3 FRER and 5 $ store. But now you have me thinking I need to go buy a Digi. I never would have considered how obsessed I could be with peeing on things. It's amazing how quickly your "normal" can shift, eh?

erinfiona

I was just thinking about you!!  I think my strategy for tomorrow is to get up, run to the bathroom and pee right away before I can even think of grabbing a S to PO with FMU.  I've been distracted by work and have to get up super early to pick up my boss's boss (lucky me, I'm so thrilled and co-travel around my territory with him tomorrow.  Then its off to yet another Friday night wedding so I think Saturday a.m. will come around pretty fast!  I'll probably POAS by 8 am.  Eeeeeek!  

What a crazy dream! 

How are all of the birthdays going?

GTKY:  FRER.  I love that even their faint +s are easy to see.  My last box had a mail in rebate for the cost of the box if you bought two... buy one get one free.  Nice.  I also have one digital left.

GOOD LUCK to everyone!!  FX FX FX

I couldn't wait until 10/5 to test and ended up testing on 10/4. I got BFP's with 2 different tests (2 different brands) that morning.  I've very excited but still nervous, especially since I'm not having any big symptoms.  My first appt will be 10/27, so I'm really hoping to see a heart beat then.  Since I haven't been on TTCAL that long, I didn't want to post a general announcement.  However, I really appreciated this check in and hope to see you ladies on PgAL soon.  Of course, I hope to stay on there, too!  Good luck!

Hopefully you'll be doing the deposing, not being deposed, ha.  That's hard to travel for work so much, hopefully you'll be able to celebrate the weekend before or something!

Hi Lotta,

Unfortunately I'm out this cycle.  I just went to the bathroom and saw pink tinted discharge so I know AF is on her way.  I hope the witch leaves pronto so I can just get this cycle over with and back to trying.  Thank you again for thinking of me and I hope the rest of you get your BFP's and your not out this cycle either.  FX 

*HUGS*HUGS*HUGS*  I'm so sorry, hopefully the next cycle is it for you!  Hang in there, sweetie!

Birthday week starts this weekend, and I managed to delegate one whole dinner AND cake to my MIL so things are looking a lot easier these days.

Truth be told, I did pee on a stick yesterday (when I had the dream) and of course it was negative.  I don't even know why I bothered, because I don't even think it COULD be positive by then anyhow, grr.  Stupid impatient me.  I'll try hard to pee before thinking in the morning and hold out until Saturday.  It'll be a great way to start off the weekend, right?  I need to be more distracted by work, eek!  Good luck chauffering tomorrow

If only I could be so lucky. I work in Timeshare (aka Crimeshare) and someone stole a lot of money/business from our company. I have to go give a statement and submit to lots of questioning by the prosecuting states attorney, because I was the lucky girl who "uncovered" their scheme.  But, DH and I have big plans for the weekend before, for sure. Still crossing my fingers for a BFP to celebrate the weekend with!

I'm sure you already said, and I must have missed it, but when is your birthday? You said October, right?

*HUGS* I am so sorry. That sucks.. FX for a July baby

Congrats!! H&H 9 months.. I love to see BFP posts

***BFP fakeout mentioned ***

Ugh.. I hate this last stretch of the TWW, I have started to lose hope, I think I am out. On Tuesday, I saw a very clear. pinkish second line on my IC test even DH saw it, so I took a FRER which was negative. I have had very clear negatives ever since. I am thinking it was an evap line although I have never seen one before on my IC. I am 12dpo today (although it`s possible that I am only 10dpo - my temp dipped on CD15, but I got a pos OPK on CD 15, so I am not sure if my O date is 15 or 17 - I am thinking 15 based off of CM). Woke up this morning to a temp dip and a BFN

GTKY: I have a well stocked collection of pregnancy tests and fertility meds for that matter under my bathroom sink. I have IC from saveontests.com (although, after two years, I can always find the shadow line, so I am looking to order some new ones soon), some FRERs and a CBE digital with conception indicator.

Thank goodness tomorrow is Friday!!!

 My birthday is on the 16th!!!  My whole family's bdays (even most of extended fam) are in Sept/Oct/Nov/Dec/Jan... so basically starting last month, it's birthdays GALORE. 

I tested this morning at 9dpo & it was a bfn. I don't know what I expect when I do these types of things. :P ((speaking of birthdays... if i get a bfp this cycle, my kid will feel really left out, too ))

I have wondfos (which I use for days like today... when I know there's little chance, but am not wasting too much money)). Then I have FRERs and CBEs for when an IC shows a line.

Ugh, that sounds like a big ol' mess.  Sorry it also interferes with your anniversary plans, and a BFP would be a great gift for you both!!

I don't have a birthday in October, but my husband and both boys have birthdays within 4 days of each other.  So I make a lot of cake this month, as they never can agree on ONE kind to enjoy   So it's good and lucky that the MIL is happy to bake her kid a cake too!

Woah there, I hope the temp dip is just a fluke.  *HUGS*  Bodies are so inexplicable, and even 12dpo might be early to see a +.  Good luck in the next couple of days!!

Friday is lookin' pretty good to me too!

Maybe that's why I'm dreaming about it but it's not even surprising to get a BFN so I don't know why I sometimes torture myself.  So dumb. 

I hope you get a second line for your birthday (and a little early present never hurt anyone, right?)  FX!!

erinfiona

Update/confession:  I POAS earlier.  I caved.  Why I don't know.  I was doing so good!  And of course it was BFN; but it is still early, right?  I promise I won't tomorrow!  I only have one FRER left; I guess I used more last cycle than I had thought! 

amidkiff

Glad you are doing awesome:) No + OPK, either I missed it or I didn't O...I don't think I would O this late, so I am saving the rest of my OPK's for next month. It would be pretty amazing to get a BFP this month, but I am not hopeful. Good luck to all the other ladies for a BFP!

AF is due sometime this weekend. After Clomid last month I had a 30 day cycle. This month I'm not sure if I'll go back to 28 since I didn't take Clomid.

QOTD: I use First Response. I print coupons from Target!
