This is good news! I will keep you in my thoughts.

I also layed there a little; about 15 minutes was all I could stay still long enough for. I used a pillow under my hips some, but not always, not sure if I did on the "magic month".

It's great to finallly feel like you know what's going on, uhh? Good luck! We'll be waiting for an update.

Jennifer, I'm so excited for you!! I remember someone giving you advice that they had to use the ovulation test late in the day to get a strong positive as well so you're not alone.

We propped the hips up by putting a pillow under my butt for 5-15 minutes. I think one time we even did the deed with the pillow in place. I went pee before we had sex so that I wouldn't need to go for hours after the baby dance. We did the dance every other day, 3x total, surrounding the day of strong ovulation. To this day I don't know which 'dance' resulted in ovulation. The rest is history!

Those strong cramps you had I had within a few days of conception and they lasted for 2 weeks but were faint and on-and-off throughout the day. I never have cramps so I knew I was pregnant. What was funny was I didn't want to jinx it by telling friends or family but I told the cashier at my local corner store because I just knew I was pregnant. Maybe this will happen to you to! My mom had always told me that she could tell she was pregnant, I never knew what she meant until I had these cramps. I asked her if this is what she had and it was.

You can feel good that you are capable of making a baby! No more stressing or feeling depressed. It's out of your hands when it will actually happen now. You know what to do and when. Now if it doesn't happen in a few months get his swimmer checked ok? Who knows maybe you are already pregnant!!!

Hi Everyone,


Thank you for all your words of comfort and hope. I appreciate it. Today, my basal temp is 98.2 F. So hopefully, yes. I'm not due until the end of January so lets see.

Becca - I am aware that frequent baby dances can cause weak swimmers. Usually we danced every other day around the time. Like I said, I was so depressed and more less "giving up" that I didn't really keep that in mind. Thank you, though.

Wendy - It's nice to know what is finally goin' on!!!

LouLou - It is a HUGE relief to know that I am capable of conceiving. We have decided to give it until August - September. After that, we may get the swimmer's checked, but we WILL start pursuing adoption.

ANYWAY, there is another twist that I forgot to mention! My grandma was admitted into the hospital early last Sunday morning with congestive heart failure. Sometime around 4:00 am. My mom didn't tell me until Sunday afternoon. They didn't think she would make it. Now, I didn't know any of this until after we had all the baby dances. ANYWAY, I went in to see her. She was barely able to breathe yet alone speak. She was attempting to talk to me, but her gurgling was so loud that I couldn't understand most of it. After I said what I thought would be my finally "goodbye", we left and went home. She made it through the night and is still alive today but in-and-out of it. NOW, Monday she came down with pneumonia and a fever of 102 F. So she's still borderline. The pneumonia is making her CHF that much worse.

ANYWAY, I'm praying that I don't get it. I was holding her hand and kissing her forehead. I was by her mouth, trying to understand what she was saying. So far I feel fine like nothing is different. I pray that it stays that way.

As far as her possible passing, death doesn't usually impact me a whole lot. I am the go to girl in my family when it comes to putting down animals or being there when a member of the family is passing. I'm good at calming people down. I use to work in a cancer clinic so I guess it's just a part of me. It's not that I don't care. I just view it as they are going to a better place. I wasn't upset and didn't shed one tear seeing her hooked up to all the machines. Instead, I held her hand and told her to close her eyes.

I don't think that that would have prevented me from conceiving, right? I wasn't upset. Plus, my temp is still very high and still climbing.

Lauren - You mentioned that you told a cashier that you were pregnant. If I am, everyone will be caught off-guard. I wouldn't tell until everything calmed down and there was no doubt. But could you imagine the looks on everyone's faces??? That will really blow their minds. It couldn't be more of a surprise!

Again, thank you all for keeping me in your thoughts! <img src="i/expressions/heart.gif" border="0"><img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"><img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0">
