The Wannabe Mamas!
I am starting this thread for a group of ladies that already frequently communicate through journals and PMs. Since we already stalk one another's journals and countdown pages... I thought it might be nice for us to have a discussion forum, where we can frequently communicate our day to day ups and downs. Please re-introduce yourself and give us a summary of your journey to date!
My story:
DH and I have been TTC #1 since June 2012. In October, we found out that DH has a varicocele causing poor morphology (1-2%). This makes it difficult for us to conceive on our own. We are on some looong wait lists to see specialists. We need to see a urologist about possible surgery and a fertility specialist about possible IUI or IVF. Right now we are loking at 8-10 month wait times, but we might be able to get DH into a urologist much sooner if we can get into a clinic in the next province over. We are currently working toward making that happen! The surgery has about 50/50 odds of working. But we are hoping it works for us!

Agreed Michelle! Hopefully we all get 2013 BFPs!
Ladies, I was super excited to have a high temp this morning, but I am so scared, because when I get my hopes up like this, it is crushing when AF shows or I test BFN. I looked at my old charts and there was only one other cycle in the last 6 months where my temp was this high 12 dpo. All other cycles, it plumeted on 11 or 12 dpo. The longest LP I have ever recorded was 13 days and that was only once... So I am feeling pretty hopeful despite trying not to!
My temperature is going to be off tomorrow, because we have to get up almost 2 hours early to catch our flight.
I packed hpts... But I also packed tampons... We shall see which one I need in the next couple of days. I think I will test Christmas morning if AF has not showed. Or I will hold out until boxing day if I can.
Thank goodness I have you ladies!

Hello ladies!
I can hardly believe it, but I tested this morning and got a ! I am shaking right now, I can hardly believe it! A Christmas BFP! A pic is posted.
I feel hesitant announcing this, because I know how it feels being on the other end. I know you ladies will be happy for me, but I also know it is hard to take when there are BFP announcements all around you.
I am going to stick around to check in on you ladies, the way you did for me when you were pregnant Melissa. You have all been there for me during one of the hardest times in my life and for that I will always be grateful!
I have to admit that I am scared of miscarrying, because of DH's low morph. But I am trying to stay positive and enjoy this.

When we were on our way home from my SIL's Christmas Eve brunch party, I checked my email while hubby drove...as I was in a mimosa coma....LOL! I saw that a new entry was posted to our forum, clicked on it....scrolled down and enlarged the entry (cell phones are so much smaller than our computer screens!). I immediately started tearing up! I am BEYOND HAPPY and so super duper excited for you Jazzy!!
That BFP is sooooo dark!! Just think...a few days ago you would have seen it then! But, I know waiting is best to get the most solid answer!! AHHHHHHH!!! So excited I can hardly contain it!!!

Hello Ladies-I am very excited about this thread. I just recently moved to New York and have zero friends. It's Christmas Eve and I am sitting in the great room of the Crowne Plaza....alone, with exeption to a few random strangers sitting on the adjacent couchs. I am really missing my family...my sweet husband is only a few feet away working at the front desk. Anyway, pity party over for now. I am 34 years old and we are TTC after I had several losses years ago, before I even met my husband. One of which was an ectopic and resulted in having to have one of my fallopian tubes removed. :( Now I am currently 3 dpo and very hopeful that I am preggo. I don't really have anyone to talk to about this. When do you think I should do the hpt? By the way, I LOVED the Fifty Shades books...my husband thought I had been possessed when I wanted to do a few pretty kinky things just out of the blue...haha!! Loved it! Ok...Merry Christmas all.

Welcome Foxy! Glad to have you join our group! We are your circle of supporters here while TTC....and even when you get pregnant (right Jazzy!!).
As far as taking an hpt.....I'm personally impatient and start testing at 6dpo! LOL. However, some ladies wait until their expected AF and test. It's all up to you and how much willpower you have! Depending on the hpt, some show up positive quicker than others. Do you know what brand you will be using?
Hope everyone is having a great Xmas Eve! I'm going to make my strawberry banana cheesecake here in a few moments for tomorrow's family celebration. Church service was great....and we are soon going to be putting up the Santa NORAD Tracker here for our little guy.
Merry Christmas Ladies!!

Hi all! Welcome new ladies!!!
OMG JAZZY!!!!!! That is such a blessing!! Your HPT is so dark!!! You go girl! I wish you a healthy 9months!!!
I've been so busy with family the last few days it crazy!
Finally back home and checked the forum! Lots going on!!!
I can't believe Texas is going to have a WHITE CHRISTMAS!!! We had a blast today with my family! I have three other siblings and they have spouses as well... So this year instead of drawing each others names for gifts we did challenges!!! The funniest was target shooting with a handgun! My family can be real country haha well DH and I WON the challenge! Yay! $100.00 won! :)
I try to hold out on testing hpts till at least 12dpo good luck!!!
OMG I can't believe it Jazzy!!!!
Well not sure what's going on with my temps/chart! Kinda pissed off at it! As y'all know getting DH to bd is harder than most so I really hoped I've ovulated or am today!! Fingers crossed!
I don't normally have any signs except temps/cm at ovulation so the spotting was weird to me... I had it again yesterday but a lot more of it at two different times!? So odd....
I hope you all have a blessed Christmas!
Merry Christmas!!!
