I forgot to add an update about me! :
I feel like the last two weeks have taken for ever, the tww is going to be horrible this month. At least I have Diane and Jennifer going though it at the same time I am. My temp went down a bit today, so my guess is that today is Ovulation day, but I will have to wait until I have tomorrows temps to be sure.
We have had sex like rabbits this month, so I hope and pray that this is it! I read on Fertility Friend that if your hubby's sperm count is normal then you can baby dance at least every 24 hours... so since we have had two BFP's then I am going to assume that his spermies are fine, and that baby dancing constantly is a must... the last few months we were baby dancing every 34-48 hours and it did not work.... I am also propping my hips up for 20 minutes afterwords, and making sure that I have an orgasm right after he does... I read that if you have an orgasm right after DH does then it can kind of suck the sperm up inside of you... if we do not get a BFP within the next three cycles then we will have him get a s/a.. just to be sure!
Love and kisses!
Jacque

Hi Jaque, Well, I have great news! I passed my certification for GLAD. Actually, our whole team passed, which is very exciting. I'm so "GLAD" it's over! Also, I did FINALLY get to hear my baby's heartbeat. Yeah! It was 144 bpm. When I get my ultrasound, if I accidentally see something, I won't be disappointed, b/c I won't get it confirmed. So, I will still have doubts that it was the umbilical chord. When I got my u/s with Yesi, we all thought she was a boy at first, b/c we saw the umbilical chord, and it looked like a penis. Actually, the tech said that it was a boy at first. I was a little melancholy about it, b/c I wanted a girl so bad. This time, I don't care, as long as I have a healthy baby. I'm excited for you to get your bfp. This has to be the month. How long did it take you to get pregnant with your previous pregnancies? Take care, Alisha

Jaque, I have some clues for you for TTC. First of all, I got pg. the month that I quit caffeine from day 1 of my cycle, both times. Also, both times I got pg. when we had sex every day during my fertile period. So, keep it up! I also elevated my hips which helped. The orgasm thing is true, I was just watching an episode on The Learning Channel about that. That is why they say the human female has orgasms. I think it's because it feels so darned good. Ha Ha! I've also read that you should have your DH drink caffeine right before you have sex. It is supposed to speed up the sprermies. Serge did, and we got pg. I've also heard that if you are really arroused before he ejaculates, it will help fascilitate the spermies into the correct path. Anyways, I hope that this is your month. When will you test? Hey, I just realized that you didn't answer my ? about why is says "virgin" under my name, and "Karma" Alisha

Hey, girls! How's it going? Just catching up on the last few posts. Sorry I've been absent, again I'm working full time now and just super overwhelmed. Jacque-I checked out the website and loved it! The nursery sure is coming together! It looks great! I want to see your chart this month. Can you send me a post with it attached? Alisha-I can't believe you are 18 weeks already! Man, it's flying by. That sweet baby is going to be here before you know it! I hope you're able to see the baby again...that's always so fun! What a treat! Are you still feeling okay? it sounds like work is keeping you busy, but what you're doing sounds great! I don't know how to post my chart here, but tell me what you guys think about this month. I'm 12 dpo. My average luteal phase is 16 days. Today I spotted a tiny bit, but it's red. Any possibility it could be implantation? I shouldn't start until at least Wednesday. Let me know what you think! Thanks, girls! I so want this to be the month!

Hi Em and Jaque, Em- It was so nice to hear from you. I hope this is your month too. How are your temps looking? I'm more of a temp girl than a symptom girl. I am pretty experienced at reading charts with temps. I know that they say that implantation usually takes place b/w 7-10dpo, but both pregancies, mine took place at 5 and 6 dpo, so don't let that get you down. It could be! I guess we'll know for sure in a few days. When are you going to start testing? BTW, you can check Jaque's chart by just clicking on her ticker. It will take you right to the FF site where her chart is posted. Hope you find it okay. Yes, I'm feeling okay pregnancy wise, but I have the flu-ugh! I didn't get to see my baby this time, but I did get to finally hear the heartbeat, (144 bpm.) I have my big u/s on November 11th, and I can't wait!!! Jaque-I like the cycle day tracker. That's neat. I hope you are well.

Alisha: I AM SO EXCITED!!! WOOHOO!!! YOUR WHOLE TEAM HAS PASSED!!! That is wonderful news! ---- 144 beats per minute, perfect! I bet that made you so happy, what your hubby there.. did he get to hear it? Do your bring your daughter with to your appointments? ---- It took us 6 months get get a BFP with Kailey and one month to get a BFP with Trent..... we have been trying four months since the m/c. This is it, I just know it!!! I am so excited, I am going to test in about 10 days! ---- Thanks for the TTC input, it sounds like we are doing everything like you and Serge, but Mike is not drinking any caffeine before sex.... so we will start that next month... if needed, which it will not be... because I am going to get a BFP this month! ---- Karma: is when you so something cool people can exalt you (give you more karma) or Smite you (take it away) if you do something mean or stupid ---- Virgin: is your rank, once you have 50 posts you will move up to the next rank which is TTC Professional! Emily: Thanks for checking out the baby site! ---- Take it easy, stress is not good for TTC and this just has to be the month for both of us! --- to see my chart all you have to do is click on my ticker and it will take you to my Fertility Friend Page with all of my info. Just in case, my ticker is in my signature. ---- Yes, Implantation spotting can occur any time between 8 & 12 DPO!!! I hope that is what it is! I want to see your chart so bad. To add it you need to register for the site and then add a link for it to your signature box. Woo Hoo!!! Good luck!! and keep us posted on any further changes... how do your temps look this month? I have to finish catching up on personals from the other buddy groups and posts on the site, then I will post an update on all that is new in the Komnick home! Love and Jacque

Now... ALL ABOUT ME!!! I feel bad, I did not mean to make it sound like I had earth shattering news. I just had alot of awesome things that happened over the last few days that I wanted to share with everyone. Kailey has spent as much time at tumbling as I do on the computer! lol We have been going to practice almost every night over the last few days, she has a big meet this weekend, and our tumbling center is hosting it.... which means... that Jacque is an idiot and volunteered to help. This is all ok though, because the people at Patti's Gym are not the type that take advantage of your kindness. She has two passes in the beginners portion of the tournament, front roll/front roll splits and back roll/back roll splits. Last time she performed she got first place, but now she is in a higher class... so this will be much harder for her. The AOH party was on Saturday from 2pm-9pm. We had so much fun, I have so many photos to share with everyone. We had a pumpkin decorating contest, bobbed for apples, had a mummy wrap race, and played bingo. We had an awesome time. Believe it or not, this was the first time I have ever bobbed for apples and it took me only 4 seconds to get one! I was so proud of myself! I made a Giant Harry Potter for the Pumpkin Contest, it looked perfect, Mike took a photo of that also, so I will post it under the pumpkin decorating photo either later tonight or tomorrow by nap time. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire comes out in less then 25 days! I am so excited!!! This was one of my favorite books, and cannot wait to see it on the big screen, we already have plans to see it the Friday and Saturday night of the weekend that comes out! Is anyone else as excited as I am to see this? Feeling positive about this cycle. Last cycle I was also, but this time it is different. It actually feels real, not something that I am just praying for... the other cycles it just seemed like something that may happen someday, but now it feels like this could be it. So far I feel fine... I am a little more emotional and tired, but that could just be because of the weekend we had. So, time will tell. I plan on testing on November 2nd or 3rd... I will try my hardest to hold out until then, but as you know I am a POAS addict and will probably start testing by the end of the week! The Nursery has had more major updates, the Giraffe is now finished, and I have been spending so much time on the sky. I want it to be done so bad. But I also want it done right, so I must be patient. Either way, I set back my goal date... I wanted it done by Halloween, now I want it done by Thanksgiving.... We have having people over, and I would like to show the room off.... especially since I will (hopefully) be pregnant then! I will let you know when I get the site updated with the new photos... but I do not think I will get to it until at least tomarrow night. Mike's Finals are complete, and he thinks he did a good job. He only has one year left and he has a 4.0 GPA, so I have come to understand that doing a good job usually translates as doing a freakin awesome job.. my guess is that he will pull through a couple more A's!!! I had this next paragraph in a post for Mandi,I wanted to share it with you also.... Emily this is more for you then Alisha, but I know you both will like it.... I want you to remember this story next time you see a pregnant woman - A few weeks ago I went to the store to pick up a few things, when I got out of the van there was this family walking up to the store... the mom on the left, the dad on the right, and the most beautiful little boy holding both of their hands. I had tears come to my eyes, for some reason seeing him made me think of Trent. Then the mom turned around....... she was pregnant, it looked like she was about to have her baby within the next few months..... the next day I went to Kailey's school and there were three newborn babies, later that night at WalMart I saw 6 pregnant women in the span of about 10 minutes.... So I know exactly what you mean about seeing pregnant woman and babies everywhere. I used to see it as a sad thing - they were pregnant and not me... but then a few days ago Kailey saw a pregnant woman and said, hey mommy look - that lady is going to have a baby. Before I can respond she says - I like it when I see pregnant mommies, it reminds me that someday soon you are going to have a baby also. So from now on I am going see pregnant woman as a reminder of what is to come, not what I have lost..... I thought you could appreciate this. It was a happy thought, and it has really helped me out over the last few days. I was worried that Christmas would not be very merry this year, especially since Trent was due on December 18th. I was planning on Santa bringing gifts for two kids this year, but every since Kailey pointed out what WILL come I feel alot better, I have my sad moments... but they are usually overshadowed by happy once! Thanksgiving is less then a month away, and with that comes the fun fest at Kailey's school. This might sound awful, but I hope I find out I am pregnant this month so I do not have to help with it. I feel so bad, and do not want to use a baby for a reason to be lazy, but the fun fest is SO MUCH WORK and NO ONE WANTS TO HELP. I get so stressed that I feel like I just want to curl into the fetal position and cry in the corner every time I think about having to help..... so I pray that this is it and that I can begin to relax even more. I will be able to take better care of myself and spend more cuddle time with Kailey.... Do you think i am awful for looking at it like this? One more thing... Mike's parents found out about Trent and they are PISSED that we did not tell them that I was pregnant. They do not understand waiting until the 12 month mark, and now they think we are keeping all kinds of secrets from them... mind you these are terrible people, they do not even acknowledge their son's birthday, they only care about themselves, and we very rarely talk to them. Now they will not return our calls... I am trying to be nice and invite them over for Thanksgiving.... what should I do? I would appreciate ANY advice on the matter! OK, that is all.... my fingers are cramping and feel like they are going to fall off, I shall never wait so long to type a "me" update again! Love and baby dust! Jacque

Wow Jaque, That was quite a "me" update. Before I respond, I need to answer your question. No, Serge didn't get to come to this appointment. It was the first one he's had to miss. We haven't yet taken Yesenia, but we will be taking her and one of my little nieces and mom to the ultrasound. My mom is pissed that I am not finding out the sex though. No, JK, she just really wants to know. No, I don't think you're a jerk for wanting to opt out on the volunteer thing. I'm so excited that you and Emily are feeling like this may be the month. That is wonderful news! Maybe this will be it for both of you! As for the parents in law thing, I don't know what to tell you. It sounds like they're kinda' jerks and would look for any excuse to be angry with you. I think you need to tell them that it was too emotionally taxing on you to tell them until now. How did they find out exactly that you were pregnant, and when? BTW, of course you know I'm thrilled to see HP and the GOF. Remember me, the one that has read all the books in English and Spanish (except the most recent) at least 3 times. Yeah, I know, I'm an obsessed FREAK! The GOF wasn't my favorite. My favorite was the most recent, 2nd favorite was Prisoner of Azkaban, third favorite, Order of the Phoenix, then I'd have to say GOF, then book 1, then book 2. Yeah, I've got a ranking and everything. Emily-I hope you are well. I liked that pregnant lady story, and I hope you and Jaque do find comfort in that story until you get your bfp's in the next week or so...!!!:-) Take care friends, Alisha

Hello ladies!
My temps went up again today, my temps are usually not this high at 4 DPO... I hope this is a good sign. Go figure, I relaxed when it came to TTC, now that we are in the TWW I am probably going to obsess like a total freak. ;D If you have time.... take a look at my chart and let me know what you think! I know it is early... but who cares, I am excited!
Book 3 is my favorite also... but as for the movies... I think four is going to be my favorite - the previews look unbelievable!
Your right... Mikes parents are total jerks and would use ANY reason to be mad at us... they have always been like this, I do not know why I let it get to me!
Jacque

Hi ladies! WooHoo for Saturday... I am very excited, I had a temp dip today, could it be implantation? Who Knows! But I am in the one week wait, and I feel like hell. I think this is it, I feel week, tired, and sick - my breast are killing me and we had sex like rabbits... everything has falling right into place, or at least it seems. I am trying hard not to test early. I have 2 HPT in the house, and I have yet to use on... but then again I had to talk myself out of testing twice already. I am testing in 5 days...... wish me luck.
I hope you are both doing well, I cannot wait to hear from you!
Jacque

Hi Jaque, Oh my gosh, OH MY GOSH!!! I think this is it for you girl. That looks like a dip to me. Oh I'm soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo hoping this is it for you. You sound exactly like I did at 8dpo with this pg. I was already miserable, especially the breasts. I can't wait to find out if you are pg. How can you stand the suspense. Of course, I'd hold off as long as possible, so as to avoid the sadness that comes with false negative hpt's. I definitely learned my lesson this time. My baby is kicking me right now in the lower right hand side of my abdomen. Maybe he/she is saying, "Yep mommy, Jaque's pregnant." Oh I sooooooooooooooo hope so. Keep me posted on your symptoms. I'll try and check the board tomorrow. Take care, Alisha

Hey girls, Jaque-Wow, that rise after the dip is soooooooooooooo encouraging! They say after the implant dip, a rise follows that steadily goes up until it plauteaus. I can't wait for your test day. I think this is it for you! Emily-We need to hear from you girl. Last time we heard, you were only 4 days from testing. what happened with you? Alisha

Emily!!!!!!! I hope you tested AND I hope it was a BFP. I cannot wait to hear from you! Alisha: I am so scared. I hope and pray that this is it.... I do not want to have to TTC for another cycle. I feel sick to my stomach.. but it is not really really bad, just enough that I feel a little nauseous. I have also had cramps since right around ovulation time. I hope I am not just getting my hopes up. ARGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! MY CHART LOOKS SO FREAKIN AWESOME................ I am going to test in three days! Thursday cannot get here fast enough! Jacque

Hi Jaque, Oh my GOSH, OH MY GOSH, OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I sooooooooooooooooooo think this is it for you. Your chart looks amazing! That is the biggest rise yet! Yippee! I can't wait to hear the results on Thursday! If you aren't pg, I will be shocked. Well, tomorrow I'm officially at the 20 week mark. I'm so excited. I'm actually more than half way there, b/c I'm delivering at least one week early. Love, Alisha

Well... as you can see by my ticker AF showed today... On to cycle #5. Trent was due on December 18th.... I will be testing this cycle on December 2nd... I hope and pray that I get a BFP before his due date. Thanks for being my cheerleaders! Especially Alisha, it was nice to log in every day and read your words of encouragement! It made the TWW easier. Now, you will have to keep that up through this month, I would like to find out I was pregnant before the end of the year! Now, lets talk about something important! Alisha: How are you feeling? Emily: Where the heck are you? Thanks ladies! I love you so much! Jacque
