Here's a site that I find myself hovering over a lot during my incessive pondering of would be pregnancy symptoms. It seems I'm not the only one who has taken apart a poas to see if maybe it was really positive but didn't show through the results window.......

__________________

Thanks for providing that site. I've just been looking at all the stories and pee sticks to see when people usually get positive results. I woke up this morning and was like okay I know it's only 9 dpo but I just have this feeling maybe it will turn out + but of course it didn't. At first I thought okay I think maybe there is the slightest slightest pink line then it went away after five minutes. Then I looked at the site you posted and it seems most people don't get a line after 9 days so there is still a glimmer of hope I feel now though it is sort of small. I could just wait till I missed my period but no I need to know now. So frustrating especially with husband leaving. We have a daughter who is 2 soon turn 3 and we didn't even try nothing was planned and I never had to do this before and it gets harder each month after a negative result. I'm glad I found this site just to rant a little bit because I don't tell anyone how upset or hard it is not to be able to get pregnant. I'm not sure if it's just timing. I have ClearPlan Easy fertility monitor and it seems every day we get the first peak symbol he is on duty or in the field or too tired or I'm not there so we always seem to miss the first peak day but get together on the second day. Okay here is to hoping the next few days will bring 2 pink lines.

Mine is usually home during my peak time but too tired...lol...I really have to get him going.

Yeah, 9dpo is early to test but everyone is different. I tested a faint (+) back in November on day 10 at night time. It was faint so that should let you know right away it takes some time to get every thing flowing in your body. Some women implant earlier than others which is why I think they get a (+) so soon.

I just bought online tests that at the latest should get here Monday. I told myself I won't test again(hahah) until I get the test strips in. It takes the pressure off of me. Right now its 439am and I'm headed back to bed. Been up since 1am with cramps. Thougt I was getting my cycle. My left butt cheek keeps throbbing ....like where the inner joint is. Hard to describe. Strangest thing ever. Man I hope I didn't already post this.....hahah...yeah its for sure time for me to go to sleep.

I'll see ya on the board soon. Hopefully we'll know one way or the other soon.
You know you should still have his sperm saved even if you do turn out to be pregnant. Just a thought. Hang in there!

I've been looking online at sperm banks now. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one on board trying to get pregnant so I wonder what he would say. Although we did bring it up the first time he was deployed just in case something happened to him. I don't know what is more stressful the fact he will be gone for another year or I can't get pregnant.

Right there with ya in the frustration Shawna!! We only have this cycle and one more before he leaves again. We had decided if I didn't get pregnant before he deployed this time, then we are finished and Makayla would just be an only child. Now I am second guessing that decision, but I haven't said anything to dh about it. If I was to get pregnant right now, Makayla will be 5 when the next one is born, it's gonna be like starting over again.

I think the two week wait should be renamed limbo hell. Think about it for two weeks you don't if you are or are not pregnant. Get a little cramp think implantation cramping a little nausea must be morning sickness and everything that happens must be a sure pregnancy sign. I'm glad I found this place because it has helped me deal with feelings I've kept pent up for a whole year. It's very therapeutic. Some how sharing with a stranger is easier than telling someone I know.

Therapeutic in SO many ways. Since we are going through the same things its easy not to worry about others on here thinking you are going nuts...haha...I've felt like it this week. I recall the Saturday before last wondering how I was going to make it through last week. Then this Saturday I almost crawled out of my skin with trying to determine if one symptom or another was a TRUE sign........good grief.

I'm so exhausted at this point all I can do is cry and concede to 'if not this month maybe next'.

You wanna know some thing funny? I just got back from seeing 'Lake House' wanted to get my mind off of things. I was sitting in the theater waiting for the lights to go off so I could check my BB for tendernes....HAHAHA....

Lets make a pact not to test till Friday morning and then not again unless if we are late. I totally understand I have become poas as well and I think well these cheap tests on the internet don't cost so much so I'm not dumping a whole lot of money down the drain. Well that is debatable. When I bought a fertility monitor off ebay she also included one frer and I think Friday will be the day I open it up and try. I keep looking at the calendar and counting even though I already know what the count will be I check and double check just to make sure of how many dpo. I am trying not to get my hopes built up especially after this morning but I just want this so bad.

I meant to say poas addict

1/2/08 - 2nd Beta - 7,000 P4 - 55

HAHAH.....I read poas addict anyway because that's what I am.

Well, its a deal I am honestly out of all my POAS.....the horror! I did just get an email telling me they shipped my order for more today.....hahahah...and I should get them within the next day or two. I may not even get mine until Saturday...... what ever will I do.

So, Friday I'll be sitting around waiting for you to give me some good news then most likely on Saturday I'll be posting mine. However, if I get it Friday, I won't be able to test till noon because I can't hold my pee that long. My mail carrier usually comes around 1230pm-100pm Arizona time.

Okay, we can do this.

I woke up this morning thinking okay lets test but then thought no I shouldn't I will wait. Now I'm scared to test again in fear the results will be BFN and realizing one more month of no success. It's awful I feel like I'm livng life in intervals of waiting for ovulation and then waiting to find out if I am pregnant. I just want it to end you know... if I could just get that BFP then I would be so happy.

I know. I'm starting to lose hope. I felt okay today. I have espisodes of being really tired but I'm like 6 days out from the start of AF. So, I don't know what to make of anything anymore.

To top it off I just got summoned for Jury duty. OF ALL TIMES. Its for next month. So, if I'm not pregnant this month, I can't see how I'll be able to fit in another IUI if I'm stuck in a courtroom. I'll have to try again in August. I'm going to look at my dates right now but I'm pretty sure the trial start date will fall on an important date.

You know I'm thinking if I am pregnant that since I ovulated literally at 930pm on O day then conception if it occurred happened at an odd ball time on 1dpo or 2dpo.

Oh, geez, now I'm just giving myself a headache.....

You know even if we do test tomorrow and get a BFN it really isn't final unless we get a real AF. So, there's still hope if you look at it that way.

__________________

I feel for you im 11dpo today and im anxious to see if Af is going to show. I have my dr appt tomarrow to see what all the blood work showed and the HSG and hopefully DH made it to the navel hospital to get his SA results. DH goes on terminal leave sept 8th i think he said so my inshurance will be ending soon but i dont know when anyone know how long after your DH goes on terminal leave that you stop getting TRi-care. i want to be shhure i dont have any appts after that cues i know we cant afford it with out the inshurance? so on to the stressfulness of all this TTC and him getting ready to seporate. ug hugs nad good luck to all

Maybe you won't get picked for jury duty or maybe you could have a medical excuse that you have a very important appointment that is already scheduled. I don't know... when my dh was away last time I went to live with my parents just because I have this computer consulting job I can fall back on and hoping to do the same in a few months. I would always go back and get the mail some reason I didn't think of them having it forward to me which I'm not quite sure why I didn't but I had jury summons. I told them I wasn't in the area and that was the end of that thankfully. Then I ended up getting one for my parent's address and I returned it saying I had moved to a new place and gave the proof of living there. So I snuck out of both... okay knock on wood becaues now that I'm feeling good about getting out of such things will probably come back to haunt me. So it might now even be a problem because my dad has never been selected for jury duty after being summoned.

If you are not going to test till Saturday then I'm going to wait then too. So that way we can test together so whatever news there will be someone to share with.

I hope you dont get picked for jury duity either iv only gotten one summons but it was for my old address in ca so i just sent a letter stating i have moved out of state and i havent heard anything since. any way you can do what my brother does when its his turn to for the lawyers to ask the questions tell them if they were arrested then they are guilty and thats the way your voting no matter what lol. they always dismess him lmao. for a long time we used the fact the my dad was a cop but now that he is retired my bro just tells them that he always sides with the cop and hes voting guilty no matter what. any way good luck

You know what is sad I had to look up fertility acronyms to get myself clued into all the bfps and the poas and the bfn and dh............ I was like what the hell is a bfp and until I saw the page of acronyms it was like a big light bulb went off in my head. I use to do a lot of online card games and was quite well adapted... don't worry I'm well tuned into everything going on now but just the first day I had to adjust.

So I have to the courthouse and they have to pick me to be in the jury? From the sounds of what I got they picked me already. Truthfully I'm in the middle of Fertility issues and I just have no brain power for anything else. I'm going to be SO distracted if they pick me. I may call the number they gave me tomorrow and let them know this is a bad timing. Then again, I'll be on call for 6 months if I don't get picked for this one anyway. Ugh.

Yeah, like I needed more stress.

Oh, and I don't know when Tricare ends its 'Care'. That's a really good question.

Shawna:: And I'll test on Saturday but by all means don't wait on me you little POAS ADDICT you.....hahah....I mean come on I may run out tonight and get some sticks to do in the morning....hahaha.....I have this overwhelming feeling that it didn't happen this cycle. I still want it but just got that feeling ya, know? (sigh)

Well, ladies no matter what the time is nearing to find out the results. Hope we can all do the dance of joy soon.

Hey Ladies I have a question.

Ever since I first got pregnant last year my daily temp is 98.3 or higher. It did dip one day last week to 97 but I think that was because I was sitting in front of the fan.

However, lately as I go through my day my temp has been in the 99 area. I just took a shower and when I got out it was 100.

Do you think some thing is wrong with my body? Before I got pregnant the first time my normal temp was 97.4.

For those of you who have kids how did your temp change after pregnancy?

I'm worried if I do get pregnant my body may be to hot for the baby.

__________________

Thats a good question. I never really charted my temperatures but I knew I felt hot all the time extremally hot all the time. So I think your body temperature goes up as if you are incubating so to speak.
Okay I looked it up on the web and this is what they said

"According to the Organization of Teratology Information Services (OTIS), a body temperature of 101º F and above can raise concerns during pregnancy. Some studies have shown an increased risk of birth defects in babies of women who had an increased body temperature during the first trimester of pregnancy.

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) states that becoming overheated in a hot tub is not recommended during pregnancy. ACOG also recommends that pregnant women never let their core body temperature rise above 102.2º F."

http://www.americanpregnancy.org/pre...th/hottubs.htm

The question was about hot tubs I think the overall idea of what temperature should cause concern is addressed as well. Hope this makes you feel better.

Hmmm....thanks, Shawna. So, I'm going to take a wild guess and awesome as long as my temp stays around 98.3 I'll be okay if pregnant but this 100 stuff has to go. I mean your are right about being hot when pregnant.

Man I was so HOT I was enjoying the A/C big time. Normally I was always cold. I never went back to being cold. I also read a bit ago that it could have somet hing to do with hyperthyroid. I hope not. I should schedule an appointment just to get looked at anyway.

I do not want to get high blood pressure and not even know it.

Is it flooded where you are? Been watching the news its not looking good at all.....OMG it just started raining here....haha...how odd.
