Re: ::Trying For A Sibling Check-in::
Good morning!
I had a great Mother's Day. DD did her best to make me feel special all day, and it was really sweet. She gave me massages (haha) and lots of hugs, and kept asking me if I was having a good day. We didn't do anything out of the ordinary, but it was a good day nonetheless.
I got a positive OPK yesterday, but I am kind of doubting its accuracy. I have no fertile CM to speak of. I just want to break down in tears. MH leaves on Saturday, and I can't even bear the thought of having to wait 3 months before we TTC again. I hope the OPK is right and I will have a big temp jump soon, but for now I am kind of down in the dumps.
Hope everyone else had a great MD!
Hi ladies! I'm late again...forgive me. I was so busy with Mother's Day that I completely forgot. This weekend was a great one. I have finally forced myself to relax a bit and enjoy life. It's really helped my mood and my relationship with my family. I am starting my healing process! Thank the Lord!
For my Mother's Day I wanted to finish our garden and work outside. I am OCD so cleaning to me is therapeutic and fun. So I started off my day getting Starbucks in bed from DH and DS. Then DH had DS paint me a jewelry box...which was adorable!
Then we headed off to target and home depot to get our supplies for our garage clean-out and day of gardening. This is the first year we're trying to plant a garden and have fresh veggies. I am hoping SOMETHING grows. Our garage was spotless...we had subway for lunch...then BBQ'ed out for dinner. I even taught DS how to schuck corn...it was perfect! I feel so de-stressed. I hope it lasts!
As far as my cycle goes...I'm gearing up to O in the next couple of days. I am trying to be lax with charting but I'm still keeping track...just not obsessing. I plan to stop after I confirm O though. I have an accupuncture appt set up for 05.24 and my upcoming RE appt is on the horizon. I am happy my b/w was all normal...and that made me feel like maybe there's hope we can do this on our own. It's a whole new outlook for me and it's refreshing.
Congrats kellsdanz! Good luck 2ww'ers!
Mother's Day was great! Saturday, dh, dd and I met up with some wonderful ladies and their families from dd's birthclub at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens, after that we went to my sister's house to celebrate Mother's Day with my mother and sisters and we were all very excited that our youngest is pregnant with her first. Sunday, mh made me breakfast in bed and I got a really sweet card with a gift card in it from him and dd and there was a handmade card that dd scribbled on at daycare and it was beautiful. We played outside and I was relieved of diaper duty for the day and I laid on the couch all day long, it was fabulous.
Happy Belated Mother's Day everyone!
Also, ladies, I have been testing the past few days since AF hasn't shown up, and I've had like 5 BFNs, well I got the FAINTEST of FAINTEST BFP this morning!!!!! Here is the pic:
I know, I know, I'm breaking my doctor's rules, but I've done so well with my exercise & diet, I think I'll be ok. I'm testing again tonight.
I don't have a digital on hand so DH is picking me up some tests today, and I'll test again tonight and in the AM.
A line is a line though, so I'm going to go with it until I see otherwise!
I'll keep you posted!!
I see it!! Congratulations!!!! HH9!!!![:) :)](https://forums.thebump.com/resources/emoji/smile.png)
Happy belated Mother's Day!!!
We didn't do much out of the ordinary. DH did make breakfast and dinner, though. My oldest DD made a card in school and a gigantic heart necklace that I proudly wore all day![Big Smile](https://community.thebump.com/cs/emoticons/emotion-2.gif)
As for my cycle, I'm in the 2WW. I'm still early in, so nothing exciting going on!
mrs.monica, glad all of the b/w came back normal and that you had a good weekend!
I see it too! congrats!!!
i had a great mothers day! DS and DH got me some new clothes to wear to work and then we went to my parents house. we ordered from the best chinese food resturant and i ate soooooooo much! then we went to MIL but i got lucky and we only had to stay for 1/2 hour because she "didn't feel well"!
CONGRATULATIONS to all the BFPs!! I'm so happy for you.
For Mother's Day I got to sleep in a bit, got some cards, new perfume, and a Willow Tree figurine from DS/DH, and candy from MIL. Visited the ILs then my parents and grandparents visited us. DS woke up around 9:30pm and decided not to go back to sleep so he spent the night with me in bed. It was overall a good day, minus the dead battery in DH's car and the spotting that started yesterday. No temp drop yet, but this spotting is annoying. I wish AF would just start, early or not. I hate spotting.
We just had kind of a lazy day yesterday... DD and I were out of town Friday and Saturday for my cousin's college graduation and DH was working overtime. We slept way in and needed it! We went out for a little lunch and then drove around. It was so nice to celebrate the day with a LO, no matter what--I'm hoping I'll be doing it with two next time!![:) :)](https://forums.thebump.com/resources/emoji/smile.png)
Congrats to the BFPs!
Congrats to all of the BFP's! Woohoo!!
My mothers day was great! DS made me some things in school that were soo sweet! Of course I cried like a baby. We went to MIL's house for a little bit and then my BFF and her 2 kids came over for dinner. We had a good time.
I've had 3 + OPK's in a row so I'm hoping for a nice temp shift to go with them soon!
This is a comment from DH the other night: "I'm ready for you to get pregnant. I'm starting to feel like a piece of meat." Great hun! Me too! Grrr. So he hasn't really been in the mood the past 2 nights. Oh well. What can ya do?
Feb Siggy Challenge
QOTD: I had a great Mother's Day. DH let me sleep in (which is the best present ever!) and then he cooked us a big breakfast. Later that afternoon we packed a picnic lunch and took DD to the park. We had a great day.
Update: I am 3DP IUI #3. I am trying to be optimistic but this is going to be a long 2 weeks.
Good morning!
I think yesterday was the best and worst Mother's Day fo all time, haha. It was the best because it was my first Mother's Day and it was the worst because DS was teething SO BAD. It was awful. He was probably crying, fussing, screaming, whining or some combination of those for 75% of the day, at least. DH was outside working on the yard all day so I was trying to handle him and keep my sanity. Ugh!
But they got me some sweet cards and a beautiful satin bath wrap. DH also made a nice steak dinner for me and took DS while I took a glass of wine and headed for the bathtub, lol.
Not really feeling the TTC vibe this month for some weird reason. I guess that's fine since I'm not really thinking about it too much. Just rollin' along for now... we'll see how it ends up. I am not optimistic about it though! I don't know why! Oh well...

Day Three
My mothers day was kind of uneventful.
DH forgot it was MD until I told him sarcastically thanks for wishing me a happy mothers day. We then went to Wal-mart to pick up diapers, food, and wipes for the boy. Stopped by Sonic for lunch and then went over to my mom's (we were going to hang out and then go to dinner that evening). Well I guess they couldn't wait because without calling us they just left to go eat dinner and we missed them by 2 minutes.
I am so mad.
We then went home, played with the boy, he napped, we went out to BRU and go him a new carseat, ate at on the boarders, came home and watched The Fringe. Still no sign of period. I am having sharp pinching in my cervix, lots of snail trail like mucus, and tender breasts...
My body hates me and I am not too fond of it.
happy belated mother's day to you all! my ds and i went to arizona to visit my parents for a long weekend. we flew home yesterday afternoon...and he slept almost the entire way home!! what a great mother's day gift!
i tested this morning because my temp went up (i was totally sure it would go down today) but BFN. i got up to pee at 4:30 after i took my temp and didnt have any tests at home so i saved it in a cup and tested at 6:30 after running to the store
how long is is good for (stupid question i know...but still hoping)? anway, i am thinking due to the higher dose of clomid this month maybe it is making my LP longer and this temp rise is a nasty tease. if it goes up in the morning i guess i might try again! cross your fingers for me please!
congrats to the BFPers! mrs.monica...good luck with Oing...hope it happens soon!
Good morning! Congratulations to AppleMomma! Woohoo!
I'm 8 dpo. I've had some light spotting for a few days, so I'm annoyed about that, as usual. Ugh. I also got really sick last night. I barely got any sleep because I was nauseous and throwing up. Blech. I'm 99% sure that it's too early for m/s if I were pregnant, so I'm assuming I ate something that didn't agree with me at a party we went to yesterday evening. So today's temp is also questionable, but I actually think it's accurate b/c it's what my temp normally is on 8 dpo. *sigh* I'm waiting until Sat or Sun to test, if my temps stay up.
QOTD: My mother's day was okay... it just wasn't in the cards for me to have a relaxing day, and then I got sick! But it's okay. I got some sweet snuggles from my son, and that's good enough for me! Oh, and my DH got me a very romantic present... a pressure cooker/canner! Ha ha! I want to start canning more, and he got one for me b/c he knew I wouldn't buy it for myself. I love him!

Happy belated Mother's Day, everyone!
Congrats to the BFPs!
We had a low-key Mother's Day. DD and DH made me cinnamon toast for breakfast (the Pioneer Woman's recipe - SO good!) and then we took DD to the indoor playground in our town. Lots of fun![:) :)](https://forums.thebump.com/resources/emoji/smile.png)
My doctor spoke the words "secondary infertility" at my "WTF is wrong with me?" appt on Thursday, and given my issues with spotting/short luteal phase/chemical pregnancy, we decided to start some testing. He's fairly certain I have a progesterone deficiancy and a luteal phase defect. I had CD 3 blood work on Saturday and I'm going for a 2 hr GTT and an HSG as well. He put me on BCP for two months to try to regulate my hormones. Hopefully things will work out for the best from all of this. I'm scared and sad but trying to stay positive.
Awww yeah for BFP!
Mine was botter sweet too. Ds got a double ear infection so I am exhausted but it was nice to get some cuddle time in![=) =)](https://forums.thebump.com/resources/emoji/smiley.png)
I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day!
We went out for lunch with DH's fam and we had dinner with all my family. I loved spending the day w DS and DH..DS kept wishing me a happy MD every hour..which was too cute.
GL to all the 2WW'ers and a big contrags to the BFP!!
Same here Mari u know i milk it for all it's worth. We are having dinner today and I got more flowers and some chocolates today..Yay for celebrating 2times.
Feliz Dia De Las Madres!
I feel absolutely horrible about my Mother's Day. DS's first birthday was on Saturday and it was a success! The wind here was crazy so the tent I had rented had to get taken down before it hurt someone, but we all fit in our house well enough. Some of my family and one of our friends stayed overnight Sat-Sun, but we ate doughnuts for breakfast together then they all took off. DH and I made plans to go to SIL's and eat dinner with SIL, BIL and MIL, but after I showered, I felt exhausted. So DH took DS and I stayed home. I feel awful that I didn't spend half of Mother's Day with my son, but I enjoyed the break. I stay at home with DS and I am legally blind, so I am with him 24/7. It's not like DH will come home from work and I can run to the grocery store for an hour if I need some "me" time. And DH has never taken DS anywhere by himself. He's kinda overwhelmed by the whole baby stage. So anyway, I got a chick flick from netflix, ate some popcorn, napped and bumped for a little bit while they were gone. I liked relaxing, but I don't think I'll be doing that again any time soon.
I'm 8DPO so I think I'll test on Friday morning before we go away for the weekend (my brother's college graduation in NJ). I'll probably start spotting Friday night and AF will ruin the weekend, lol!! GL to the 2wwers and congrats to the BFPs!!!!!!!!!
ETA: Dh & DS got me a present, but it hasn't shipped yet and they won't tell me what it is so I'll just have to wait! MIL brought me flowers to DS's bday party and lots of people brought me Mother's Day cards, too. That made me feel pretty special!
My Mother's Day was great, thanks for asking! I woke up to DS throwing a monster tantrum for his father (one of his latest and greatest new tricks!), so I decided to get up to help. I napped while DS napped, two hours!! Nice. Then we went to a nature museum, my favorite restaurant for dinner, and picked up cookies from the best bakery ever! DH made a book on snapfish to match the Daddy Book I made him. Very thoughtful and probably took him a while to upload all of the pictures to his account.
I am in the 2ww and am hoping that my HSG stimulated my follicles enough to get me pregnant! I have been so lax on charting. I Oed early and I just don't really want to obsess over a silly graph this month! I talked to my doctor and if I am not pregnant this month I will try Clomid next month.
Congrats to our 2 BFPs! Good luck to all of you testing soon!!

Hi Ladies!!
Good luck to all the ladies testing soon!!
I actually spent the morning having IUI #2... so I told DH I get a raincheck on sleeping in, LOL. The rest of the day we just relaxed and stayed around the house. I even got a nap in while DD was sleeping.![:) :)](https://forums.thebump.com/resources/emoji/smile.png)
So just finished up back to back IUIs this weekend and starting the 2ww. I started acupuncture this cycle so i'm hopeful it will help us get a BFP soon. If not this cycle, we plan to move to IVF in the near future.
Hi Ladies! Congrats to our BFPS and keep them coming!!
I had a great mother's day. Thank god DH let me sleep in becuase I was up until 2:30 in the morning whatching season 2 of True Blood. (that show is addicting) DH and DD got me strawberry and pumpkin plants for the garden so I was really excited about that.
I met with my Dr. yesterday and we're going to start some blood work, but he's sure I have an estrogen domninance problems from all of my fertile CM for weeks on end combined with my charts. He also had me change my "light" days back to spotting so that puts me on like CD39 or something like that. So our next course is bloodwork and then he's going to start me on 50mg of clomid. I'm sad that I won't be able to do this "on my own" but I'm happy that at least we may have some progress. Hope all of you have a great week!
I know I'm way late, but figured I'd check in anyway. I hope that everyone's Mother's Day was nice and enjoyable. Congrats to the BFPs!
My MD was very nice, DD and DH got me flowers and breakfast, then we spent the day with our families.
Right now I have no idea what's going on with this cycle. Today is CD 30, I got a BFN on CD 28 and still no AF as of this morning. I'm hopeful, but not too hopeful.
my angel babies: 6/10 (chem. pg), 9/10 @ 10 weeks
Can you please remove me from the list? We're putting TTC on hold. TIA
