20 year old wife looking for young buddies who are ttc! Update: 4 healthy babys born!

[Kimbre]

youngwife...YES. i didnt have ANY AF while on the shot at all!!!

then it took me 8 months to get a hint of AF and i wasnt even really regular until two cycles ago.

im just hoping thats whats taking me so long=( im going to the store tomorrow to see if they sell the soft cups. maybe those will help!

i hate the DEPO!!!its evillll. hahaha

 

[youngwife20]

Kimber- very evil!! Lol and I heard about these soft cups. But I don't get wheather u put it in before u have sex lol or after?

 

[DG1984]

How are you ladies doing today?

Still no call from the doctor, but we don't need his clarification lol. We did another HPT over the weekend and the second line was even darker than when we tested the first time. We have our first doctor's appointment on May 2nd. No idea what happens at that time, but I guess we'll see!

Having a bit of back pain today and slight cramping on my right side, but other than that I'm doing okay. Oh man, I've been so exhausted. Wish I could nap at my desk at work lol.

Sending lots of baby dust to you ladies.

 

[Kimbre]

yay DG i bet that you are over the moon=)

and i believe you put the softcups in right after DH "E's" lmao.

but i bought some today, and im scared to use them hahahaha.
i also got a basal thermometer but havent been temping and im on cycle day 10... so not even sure i should until next cycle if i dont get a BFP.

Youngwife: I totally am with you on the seeing relatives and friends get pregnant so quickly thing. My closest friend is on her 3rd! and I know at least 5 others who are pregnant with 2nds. It's so hard not to feel a little down, I really was naive and thought I would get pregnant right after taking the ring out. Also, YES I use opk's like a mad woman, as I mentioned in some other posts, --My name is mamaofone and I am addicted to peeing on a stick, lol-- I love op.'s, whoever invented them is a genius! I also chart my temps and cm on fertility friend, without this I would be lost an confused as to what my body is doing every month.
Kimbre: I also have a retroverted uterus and am interested in softcups/divacups, haven't done my research though. Does having a tipped/retroverted uterus affect it working properly?
DG1984: Congrats!! Glad to see some happy news!

 

[Kimbre]

hi mamaof1. i know how you feel. it was sooo quick with my DD. and the second time around its taking SO long=(

im hoping that i get my BFP soon. i hope that you do as well.
i just got some soft cups and a basal thermometer today,but i dont know if the soft cups will work since i have a tilted uterus=( hoping i have an okay time getting them in!

 

[MamaDee]

Let me know how it goes, if they work out or not. I may have to give it a try, in Canada the only kind they sell is the DivaCup, Im pretty sure its the exact same thing though. Have you heard anything else about the tilted uterus? My doc mentioned it after ds was born but never said anything further. I have read conflicting info as far as it affecting ttc at all. By the way, your wedding pic is adorable, brought a smile to my face!

 

[youngwife20]

Mama OfOne- I dont do charting i dont think id be good at it plus it would cause me more stress!! lol but I just found out that i may be ovulating way earlier than i thought! my ov kit says if your cycle is 25 days ( it went from 28 days to 25 in 2 months!) then i should check if im ovulating at day 9 of my cycle just 2 days after AF is finished!! so i clearly have got it wrong about when im ovulating lol ive testing today at day 8 of cycle and not ov yet so will test everyday!! lol

also i dont know what my uterus is.. did you check this at the start of trying to concieve?

KIMBRE_ How did you find out about your tilted uterus? and good luck with the cups let us know how it goes i may get one for next cycle if no bfp this month. i will just use preeseed and opks for this cycle .

Hey all so this is mynfirst month TTC so I am a little lost and idk if this means I am out this month but I have been charting my temps but right After I o'd I got really sick and have had a fevr every morning I wake up except today where it went back down to 97.6 which is pretty close to my o temps and I know pregnancy normally keeps those temps nice and high my ticker is wrong I o'd on Saturday so I am only 4dpo you thunk I should stop stressing or do you think may is just not my month?

 

[MamaDee]

Young wife: Charting can stress you sometimes if your chart is hard to interpret. I find it eases my stress of wondering whether I truly O'd or not but that's just me. Ov tests are great! I would be lost without them Found out about the tipped uterus very casually doc mentioned it in passing when pregnant with DS. Never said anything bad about it but I have seen conflicting info online, so who knows.
DG1984: I'm in Toronto!
Brookttc3: You said 97.6 is back down to your O temps, you mean you temps before you O? If it's that low at only 4 dpo it might be possible that you didn't actually O yet and your temp was just up from the fever. Could also just be a fluke. One day of temp drop can be acceptable and mean nothing. It's more the overall picture you want to look at. If your temps are low again tomorrow and the next day I might be inclined to think that you haven't yet O'd. Do you use opk's?

 

[Kimbre]

Mamaof1- im sorry i didnt see your response b4!
My doctor didnt say anything about my tilted uterus, just told me it was VERY tilted BACK. i looked online though and it can just take longer to conceive sometimes. my mother had one as well! im thinking that its hereditary?
it doesnt affect it working properly either...HOWEVER it makes me have alot aot ALOT of UTI's and Yeast Infections...BLECK.TMI SORRY! and also it hurts to have sex sometimes when you have a tilted uterus.
I tried the soft cups and i feel like they will help my problem... the bag sits under the cervix so i feel like the little are getting right where they need to be! they look scary, bc i am little down there, but you cant even feel them at all!!! i feel tampons more than these!

YoungWife20- My Doc told me when i had a pap smear...plus i have a long vaginal canal, so that prolly makes it take the longer to get there!
I would recommend them... if i can use them than you can! and if they work and we get our BFP i can laugh at my husband for saying that they were "weird" and "we dont need those"

Yes, 97.6 is near where I am before I O like normally around 97.1 for me so .5 off however i did test earlier today so it probably was more like 97.8 at my normal time still I thought after O if you were preggers it would be like 98. somthing idk just anxious to be pregnant already.
I took a pretty bad spill today and now I am getting terrible cramps like I am about to get AF so IDK

 

[Kimbre]

Brooke- FX that you get your BFP , dear. how long have you been TTC? also, i had HORRIBLE AF cramps the day my AF was due for my daughter but AF didnt ever come. i hope thats whats happening for you hun.

 

[brookettc3]

We have only been TTC one month but if it doesn't happen this month then we have to quit trying til July because my other children's birthdays are in February and I just don't want to add another one too close :/ I didn't have cramps until I fell all on the ground today so I am kind of worried.

 

[MamaDee]

Kimbre: That was my fault actually, I reposted something by accident and then went back delete and re-posted. You must have read it before I edited Glad to hear the softcups "fit" lol this was one of my fears also as sometimes I even find tampons painful to remove. Hope it gives the swimmers the extra oomph they need this month! I might get one next month, they are so expensive here! $45

Brookttc3: sorry to hear about the fall, thats no fun! 97.6 definitely still is seems like post o territory for you if your pre o's are down at 97.1 As far as the temps don't worry that their not in the 98's. I usually have a slow rise myself. Pre o temps 97.3-97.5 and then after o I will hover around 97.7-97.8 it's usually not until 4 dpo that I get up to 98.2 or so. It takes longer for some peoples temps to rise. Also that could just be the highest temps you will get which doesn't really mean much either. I've seen charts where their pre o temps are super low like low 96's and their post o temps are only 97.0. The main point is that you see a clear concise temp shift within your own numbers, doesn't matter how high or low they may be xx Hoping they stay up for you this month!

[Kimbre]

wait. its 45 dollars for soft cups? are you sure youre looking at the disposable soft cups... cuz i only paid 8 bucks for 14.

 

[MamaDee]

Oops Duh! No I wasn't thinking of the right thing. Apparently the only type of cups that are available here are the DivaCups but they are not disposable. It is a re-usable one and I guess that's why it's so expensive. Erghhh, Canada! You guys get all the good stuff down there in the states! I will have to grab some next time I am down at my parents, however I'm hoping I get my bfp long before I head down south again

 

[Kimbre]

where do u live in canada. we live near canada kind of. lol.
