Hi Ladies!

RaspberryBeret · #1 November 25th, 2009, 02:15 PM

I posted here awhile back in July when we officially started TTC but I left in August due to another chemical pregnancy (my 3rd) and told myself I would stop obsessing and take a break. Well I'm back if you guys don't mind! My name is Kara, DH is Paul and we have a 2 year old names Jordyn. We are on our 5th cycle of TTC our second. This is the first cycle I have charted but I think I used the wrong type of thermometer

so I'm not counting on this cycle to show me anything special. I'm 6DPO and this 2WW is killing me! I've already tested

Gosh I feel pathetic. Anyway my chart is in my siggy if you want to take a look. I've been mostly following my CM and I've had 29-30 day cycles for awhile now so I'm hoping we BDed during a good time! So far I feel naueous, tender breasts, creamy cm (which I had a lot when I was preggo before), some cramping but not like AF cramping and increased sense of smell. I'm hoping this is our month! I'm happy to have others to obsess with now

Hey! Good to see you here!!

Hi there.

I'm Katie (28 in 1 1/2 weeks), DH is Bob (30). We have one DS, Alex who is 8 months old. We are TTC#2.

I think that your chart is looking good. I hope you get a BFP. I think there's a lot of us ladies who test early. I'm one of them!

Hi Pam! I'm so sorry for you loss

Glad to have you here

Hi Katie!! I'm glad I'm not the only early tester. I was feeling a little crazy

You've come [back] to the right place! Welcome back to TTC, and I hope your stay is short but sweet. We're all obsessers here so there's no need to feel embarrassed or guilty for testing early. We all do it, and this forum is like one big support group for POAS-aholics!

Your chart looks good so far. If this cycle is a bust, I'd recommend buying the BD BBT Thermometer. I've used it for a year and it's great! If you have any other questions about charting, please ask. There are a lot of experts here who are always glad to give advice and support.

Anyway, welcome back, and good luck this cycle! We'll be hoping for your BFP!

Hi Kara! Sorry about your losses....I remember you. We both got our BFP's in July and I had a mc in late Aug. I too just came back, but we weren't TTC, more like NTNP. I'm 3DPO, and having the same cramps I did after O'ing in July, before my BFP. I hope you get your BFP soon, if not this cycle! Glad to see another familiar face, and hopefully we can become permanent members of a DDC together, very soon!

welcome back! i'm amy (30) and dh is francesco (27) and we're TTC our first.

as for your thermometer... i use a normal digital thermometer because i couldn't find a BBT thermometer here in italy. it may not be as precise (it is to the tenth degree and not the hundredth) but i can still see patterns and my day of O and everything else like with a BBT thermometer.

i hope your stay here is short but sweet!

Hi Kara. Sorry for your losses. I remember you from the November DDC, but I haven't posted there in a long time. I do still lurk from time to time. Good Luck!

It is so nice to see other poas addicts, LOL. Give us lots of pics to obsess over!!!!!

Hi Kara! I'm Pamela (24), DH is Sean (32), and DD is Ava (3). Glad to have you with us! I hope your stay is short and sweet! I am 5 dpo right now, and surprisingly not obsessing over it. The only thing I'm experiencing is sore nipples and a little cramping. I'm sure it's only due to the increasing levels of progesterone. There's no way to have "symptoms" until HcG shows up in your system. I'm anxious to see if you get your BFP!!! GOOD LUCK!

Hi everyone! Thanks for the warm welcomes! Hi Karen! I remember you too! I'm so sorry for you loss! I hope we can be in the same DDC once again and have sticky beans!

Hi Ash! How are you? You should stop over at the PR and say hi!

ash901 · #13 November 27th, 2009, 05:27 PM

I know I was going to but I figured no one would remember. I will try to though. Good Luck!
