[filipenko32]

Aww sorry rach xxxxxx

Girls am so so tired will update and catch up on Sunday xxx

 

[babydust818]

Hope you're doing good Mel I hear ya on the tired thing. Get some rest.

 

[babydust818]

Well i took apart the test from yesterday and from today and put them side by side to take a pic. I inverted them and this is what it looks like.

 

[BeachChica]

Girls, here are my OPK pics from yesterday and today. Last night was def lighter than the one earlier in the day. Both of the ones I took today look dark.
What do you girls think?
(By the way, I am off on the dates I have below. It should be the 12th and the 13th!!! Ugh!)

Looking at my temps I feel like I might have O'd yesterday but we'll see what they are like tomorrow.

 

[BeachChica]

Rach- sorry about your test. I definitely think you have something strange going on with your body this month. I would test again in a couple days.
SO.... did you go out to the store to buy another FRER but not a BBT thermometer? Where are you hiding that bat!!???

 

[babydust818]

Wow Jess it's really hard to say.... the 12th seems like you were gearing to O and then in the late afternoon it didn't happen. Then seems like you did O today. Unless you did O twice. I heard that is common when you have twins. It has to be within a 24 hour time frame from each other. Don't you wish you had a definite answer? It sucks having to play the guessing game. grrr! I know i know......... you need to get that bat dusted and get me i wish i could think about that thermometer. I honestly haven't gone to the store but twice in the last week because of my eyes. I feel like a zombie lol. How are your eyes btw?

 

[confusedprego]

Hmm..Jess I'm confused for you! I thought your temp was going to go up today! Keep taking those OPKs! Maybe you're Oing this morning and your temp will go up tomorrow???

Rach - go buy your thermometer so we can stalk you like we stalk Jess!!

Mel - I hear ya about being tired!!! Hope you're doing well!!

 

[BeachChica]

Thanks girls! I did an OPK today and the second line was gone so the surge must be over. We still got some BDing in today but I really feel like I O'd on CD 13/14. It seems I sometimes get a temperature drop the day or so after O and then it spikes back up. We'll see how my temps look the next couple days. My boob are also a little ore today if I push on them so that seems to happen after O.

How are you girls doing? Chris and I got to Orlando today. We went to the outlet mall and did some relaxing by the pool. Tomorrow we will be moving over to the new hotel where he will be for his conference and I am heading back on Monday.

 

[confusedprego]

Sorry Rach about your tests! Still spotting?? I think you need to go to a doc and start talking to them about what's been going on. Get a thermometer too!!

Jess - You probably O'd CD14 and your temps will be going up tomorrow. Those OPKs looked positive to me, so if your temp doesn't go up I'll be really surprised!

Kelsey, Mel and Sam - how you guys doing????

AFM - I'm so proud of myself this weekend - I've gotten so many errands done. Thank you cards from the baby shower - done! Bridal shower invites for my good friend - done! Now I need to clean this house and get this baby out!! lol

 

[filipenko32]

Glad you've got everything done Lindsay, that's a good feeling isn't it?

Rach I am sorry your tests are not looking more convincing, are you testing again today?

Kels? How are you doing?

Jess I would say you have definitely ov'd at some point, especially if your bbs are sore too and that's normal for you but even just going by your tests I think you have by now. Glad you're having a relaxing day!

afm SUPER SUPER tired and trying to live my life like i used to before all the mc's (working socialising etc) and while I am starting to feel a bit more normal again I can't keep up! I have to get up so early in the week ready to take a call to go to a random school who need a supply / substitute (US say sub don't you?) teacher. Also the nausea continues - it started so late - about 7 weeks and now won't go, don't care though! I have an anterior placenta which means i won't feel kicks till much later than normal because my placenta cushions the kicks as it's at the front.

 

[confusedprego]

Mel - my nausea didn't really kick in until about 7 weeks and really wasn't gone until 14 or 15 so it'll probably lighten up soon!! I was also really tired during that time too! Plus - I also have an anterior placenta! I felt the first random movement around 16 and felt them consistently around 18, so not too much longer to wait! They say you feel boys earlier, so maybe that will help us guess what you have!

Been having cramping every 20 minutes or so for about 4 hours now! It's just cramping though and not a real contraction (I don't think) and I dunno, if I cramp throughout the night I won't be going into work tomorrow just in case - although the doctor said I hadn't progressed at all and should be fine to go to work, so maybe this is just my uterus starting to efface or whatever!

 

[BeachChica]

Oh gosh Lindsay! It doesnt sound like it will be long for you now!!!

Mel- Happy 14 weeks!! Sorry you are not feeling well but it's such a reassuring symptom!!!

Rach- any more spotting?

AFM- I think O was on CD 14 as well but I was hoping to have a higher temperature increase today. I guess we'll see what happens over the next couple days.

 

[confusedprego]

Jess - I see you got crosshairs - weird your temp hasn't gone up more than that, maybe it's just taking it's time!

Dragging my feet getting ready for work - ughhh - last week for sure!! My cramping yesterday calmed down around 9PM and didn't have much overnight so I think that's going to be the story of my life for the next couple weeks - cramp cramp cramp - nothing lol.

How's everyone else doing??

 

[BeachChica]

Yes, I FF confirmed O on CD14, which is what we thought. So I am 4 DPO. Not sure what's going on with my temps though. It seems like they should be higher. Depending on what my temp looks like tomorrow morning I will probably start the progesterone.

Lindsay - Have you called the doc to ask about the cramps to see if those are the contractions starting?

 

[babydust818]

Hey girls! Just wanted to stop in quick. My spotting stopped about 2/3 days ago. I'm wondering if it was an infection because once i started these antibiotics for my eye the spotting stopped. Weird! I am just happy it stopped. Also my eyes are doing MUCH better. They're clearing up. I put in an application last night for Convergys. Idk if any of you have it or not. It's a call center and i go in Weds for an assessment and interview. If i get it then i start Monday!!! I got my fingers crossed for sure.

Jess don't worry about the temps just yet. if you're pregnant or not it won't really make a difference in temps this early. I got everything crossed for you!! I'm trying to BD today, tmrw and the next day. We did last night. I'm not sure when i'll be O'ing. I hope i haven't already. I hope this is our month girl!!!!

Lindsay you might as well expect to deliver Oakley on his due date because something REALLY weird i've noticed is everyone is going on their DD. My friend Sarah, Amy, and this other girl. Seems like it's a trend or something LOL. I hope the cramps aren't too extreme. I def would stop working after this week though. I couldn't imagine how bad your feet must hurt!!

Mel it sounds like you're on the right track! I'm sorry you've been feeling icky but at the same time i'm super happy because that's just a reminder everything is okay!! I know it isn't easy but for you to say you're trying to live like you did before the MC's is a milestone!! SO proud of you.

Kelsey where have you been missy? Gonna get a bat to your ass!!!

Sam have you been going out buying any BLUE?!?!

 

[confusedprego]

I'm assuming the cramping is normal because I've mentioned mild cramping before and they said they only care if I get 4 large contractions in an hour or cramping every 5 minutes, which I haven't gotten to yet! One more day down of work - I'm back home now - almost done!! 3 more days, I'm not working Friday (my doctor's appointment is in the morning).

I am super tired today though so I'm going to go lay down - hope you ladies had a good start to your week!!

 

[confusedprego]

where is everyone??

 

[BeachChica]

Hi Lindsay! I'm here!!! :wave:

How are you feeling this morning? Are you just playing it week by week on your work schedule or is this your last week?

AFM - my temps seem to be taking their time climbing! I started my progesterone. Based on the OPKs you guys definitely think I O'd on CD 14 right? I looked back on a few charts and keep seeing this spike on CD11 - I wonder what that is...? I definitely was getting negative OPKs then.

Ugh - I started studying last night for my class. Its so hard to get motivated again and get back on the school mindset.

 

[pinksmarties]

Sorry not been on the last few days.

Lindsay - shame the cramping didn't turn into more but you never know the next time it might. Glad you be finishing this week, and because of that we need Oakley to be on time if not a bit early!

Rachel - glad the eye is more settled and the spotting has stopped and bugger about those tests. Wish it was a +ve for you. Good luck with the assessment tomrrow and fingers crossed you get this job. What sort of work does the call centre handle? I can't tell from your chart but you normally ov about now so definately keep bding!!

Jess - it is possible to get slow rise temps and that is normal. I think at one point I was concerened my temps didn't seem high enough the month I got my bfp, so don't worry. Your bd timing looks good too so kepping it all crossed you catch the egg this month.

Kelsey - hope you are doing okay.

Mel - It would be exhausting getting back into the swing of things even if you were not pg so no wonder your are knackered. Just take things easy and enjoy being back out and about. You will feel the kicks, maybe not as early as some (for me it was the first flutterings at 18 weeks, although no AP for me) and it is more difficult to feel early the first time any way but they will come!!

afm - had a very busy weekend. We bought a new car, so sad to see my little 3 door go but it is a wise choice as we will need the space. I'll try to put a pic on here when I get home. I had a community mw appointment this morning (I still think she is a bit strange). She measured my tummy (23cm) and had feel and said the limbs were all over the place. How they can tell that, as I have had a feel too, I'll never know. I asked about what the hospital mw last week said about my age and not wanting to go over 40 weeks (definately not 41 without indution) due to my age but she didn't elaborate and said to think about things like that closer to the time. I know the reason after googling (older placenta packs up sooner and therefore increased risk stillbirth) but still no one has fully explained it to me.
