Hugs to you!

I have used OPK's for the last 2 months, the first month I got a positive in the evening (7 pm)and just for the hell of it I tested again the next day and nothing, last month I tested late at night 10:30 and got a positive then the next day at 3:30 pm tested again just to see and got another positive - soooo  I think getting more than one postive depends on when you catch your surge and how long you surge for - I've read that you can have your surge for as little as 10 hours and as long as 36 hours. 

Good Luck

I love your determination - MrsM I don't post often but the other day I just wanted to come on here and bi@#$ so much about not getting preggo in the 3 months i have been trying and I think you had posted last when I came on here. 

It made me  think of everything I have read about what you have gone through. You are always the first to congratulate someone when they have had success, you provide so much feedback for everyone how is trying and you remain positive with what you have gone through. 

It made me think twice about my rant I wanted to go on because I have it pretty good, I have my daughter and have only been trying for a few months and it will likely happen for me and I just need to focus on that posibility and not the lack of control I have over all this. 

Moral of the story is - I always look forward to seeing your posts and this one made me laugh!

Aly,

I'm so touched by your post. Thank you! I really appreciate your words! And I'm glad I could make you laugh and smile.

Let me be the first (or not) to tell you that it's ok to bytch about it all and be frustrated that it's taking longer than expected. It's ok to rant and cry and fall apart. We are human, afterall.

As you said, this is something we just absolutely have no control over.  Even with fertility medications and well timed intercourse, we have no control.  If I could reach inside myself and make a personal introduction of sperm to egg, oh how I would have done that already. Probably more than once too! But that's just not possible for me or you or anyone else. It's absolutely ok to get depressed and at times, melt down. I've done it. I've been there in that dark room, laying in bed curled up in the fetal position and just bawled my eyes out.  Then the light goes on and speaking from personal experience, I realized that I truly needed to get it all out in order to feel better and to be able to go on with another cycle. I needed to cry over my loss of yet another unproductive cycle. The grieving process is part of life ... every day life.  We are grieving for the continued emptiness we feel that can only be filled by having a baby. And it's ok to grieve.  Getting it out makes me feel better and motivates me to try again. Eventually, it will happen, for me, for you and for everyone trying.  I also believe that having a positive mental outlook will inturn make my body behave positively and co-operate with what I want it to do during a cycle.  And while I've yet to become pregnant admist all my positive thinking, I firmly believe that God has a plan for me - there is a child(ren) in my future. He's just taking his time in selecting the one that's right for me and my DH. 

I wish you good luck in your cycle and lots of baby dust to you.  You have a plan too - there is another child in your future - but the man up above is just taking a bit more time in selecting the perfect baby to send to you and your family.  Have faith that it will happen for you.

The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness.

Making the decision to have a child-it's momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.

The mother's heart is the child's schoolroom.

To understand a mother's love, bear your own children.

Mother is the name for God on the lips& in the hearts of little children.

A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials, heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine, desert us when troubles thicken around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.

Mrs. M and loving it!!!

I have contemplated positing a recent experience in response to Kiwi's prev comment, it was along the lines of just relax and let it happen then you will get preg...I'm working off a few days ago memory so if its not correct please forgive. About 1 1/2 months ago we did the risky decision of buying a house before selling our house. Though our house is beautiful and backs onto a ravine, it is small which I knew would hamper a quick sale. Well, the first week it was on the market I stressed and fretted, analyzed number this way and that. Then on top of that we had some out of my control problems come up which further increased my stress. Finally, something clicked in my brain, and I said I can't control everything! I can't make people come to the house, I can't make people buy it, all I can do is make it show the best it can and the rest is up to fate, the man above, what ever your choice of belief. As soon as I let go I felt released, we had 3 potential offers and last night signed a conditional offer! So I though what other areas in my life can I apply this to, and surprise surprise TTC came up. All I and DH can do is look after out health, eat well, exercise...and let the rest happen. Will it be easy, no, but shouldn't I focus my energy on positive thoughts or activities that will pass to my baby if there is one? I understand that we all face different challenges, everything worth having takes fate and in the intra if we do the best we can then things will work out perfectly. Something bad is just something on it's way to eventually being good.
