October due dates, TTC'ers, and new members
Congratulations to any early birds who know they're pregnant already! Is
it a shock, or a much-awaited blessing? How many pregnancy tests did you have to take before you believed it? Any symptoms yet? For our TTC members, how is the journey going? Need to vent, cry, yell a bit? Feeling hopeful? Into the 2ww? Lots and lots of baby dust to you all. I know there are lurkers as well as the visible ttc'ers here, and some ttc'ers who are staying silent on the subject or still deciding whether to really go for it. Everyone should feel welcome in this community... please know that we're cheering you on with all our hearts. Hopefully there will be some new due date updates from some of you who have had such a long, tough haul so far. For any new members, hello and welcome! Have you started ttc (trying to conceive)? Feel free to send an introduction, or keep us updated as you look for signs of the big O (ovulation) by charting your BBT (basal body temperature), do some BD (baby dancing), cross your fingers during the 2ww (two week wait, after ovulation but before a pregnancy test will show anything), and then hopefully send your own new due date message out! You'll often see TCOYF referred to: it's the fabulous book _Taking Charge of Your Fertility_ by Toni Weschler, available from Amazon and many bookstores. It talks all about how to chart your fertility signs, both for pregnancy and for birth control, and is an incredibly valuable way to learn about your own body. Highly recommended reading for anyone starting down the road to pregnancy. Welcome to the group. Mary S. |

Highly recommended reading for anyone starting down the road to pregnancy. Welcome to the group. Mary S. Just thought I would chime in. Still TTC I think. I was hopeful for this time but I think AF is starting. It's mainly brown so still a chance that it's implantation bleeding but it has been in the past on the first day in past regular AFs. I was REALLY hoping to be pregnant as a belated Christmas present. In fact. it's all I wanted for Christmas so I'm a bit depressed that it looks like it hasn't happened. I'm still depressed over the m/c in early Nov at 6 wks. Put me in a bit of a funk for this holiday season. Can I say (and I know I am not alone) that I hate the 2WW as I am so hopeful and then AF barges in. I know I should be grateful for my son and I really am - he's my world. But still, I so want another little one :-( -- Jenn DS 06/26/98 1 tiny angel 11/03 -- Leader of the Cult of Worshippers of BiPolar Long-Haired Sexy Anime Guys with Swords |

How many pregnancy tests did you have to take before you believed it? Any symptoms yet? Yes, congratulations, since that's still impossible! (Grin) Someone who conceived today would still be 40w in September! However that doesn't mean that someone who conceived today -- or even someone who has gotten a BFP already -- won't actually give birth in Oct ... -- Dagny ps Mary you are the best to post these.. I am just giving you a hard time! |

Hm, I'm finally back in the game - at least I hope so. Haven't ovulated
since August, thanks to some Clomid cycles (how ironic!). I had both tubes opened in October but haven't had a chance to try with open tubes yet. The last pill cycle I had to do ended rather suddenly when I started bleeding out of the blue - hopefully, this doesn't mean that my body is more out of whack than I thought because I'd really, really REALLY like to get on with it! So some ~O vibes~ would be appreciated :-) -- Tatjana PCOS - TTC #1 for 2.5 years |

I didn't use ovulation predictors though, I just kept charting. -- -Crystal Dreamer Missing Mariam since 09/10/03 Some people only dream of angels.

They normally have bulk tests for a great price. My cycles were messed up after Mariam was born too, it'll just take some time to straighten them out. -- -Crystal Dreamer Missing Mariam since 09/10/03 Some people only dream of angels.

Yeah I was just thinking I got a positive at around this time with the twins, I 'think' I tested the day after New Years, and had the girls on their due date, the 16th of September. |
