27 TTC #1 looking for a buddy

[DrGomps]

It took clomid for me to get pg. Where are you going for your minibreak charlotte?

 

[lol2811]

I'm not really sure what the doctor would do as I am almost certain I am ovulating as I seem to have pretty regular cycles and temp, CM and CBFM all point to it. But think even having a chat would make me relax a little.

We're only going up to Blackpool for 4 days, expecting it to be very very cold and windy but it will be nice just to get away from the house and the usual everyday stuff.

 

[DrGomps]

sounds very nice. DH just got on a case (hes a lawyer) and will be working 13 hour days and weekends. I am going to be alone with my hormones boohoo!! I was ovulating on my own before clomid, my doctor just wanted to kick start my system since my cycles were so long. My cycle was still long but at least I think i produced better follicles.

 

[lol2811]

I know that feeling, DH works like a crazy man, he has just taken on a private job as well so some nights he's not getting home till gone 10/11 at night. Luckily over this next week (when im ovulating) he isnt going to be home too late or think we would both be shattered.

I think i am quite lucky really with my cycles, the longest one I have had is 31 days.

Got my first high on my CBFL this morning (CD9) so we are all go, i will get that BFP this cycle and have my little one in time for my birthday at the end of November, that would be the best present I could imagine!

 

[DrGomps]

yes you will get that !! Its all about the positive thinking!! the last cycle I actually was telling the to swim to the egg!! I even made DH do it!! I did the same around implantation time. Now I make DH tell to the baby to stick!!

 

[lol2811]

I am going to try and stay as positive as I can. We are doing all we can so in my mind there is no reason why it shouldnt happen this month!!!

 

[DrGomps]

you will be extra relaxed too because you have a holiday planned so that will help! I was convinced all the skiing I did would prevent implantation and I even had a drink and jumped in the hot tub after, which was relaxing...maybe that helped. Definitely no more hot tubs for me now!!

 

[DrGomps]

oh and happy

 

[lol2811]

Dh is def loving it. I do feel more relaxed than normal at the minute so hoping that is a good sign. Had a couple of bad days but I seem to have picked up my mood now so baby bump here we come!!!

 

[DrGomps]

woohoo!

 

[DrGomps]

OH and just to update, I had my first Dr.'s appt.
So I love my Dr. She went to the medical school I go to which is nice and is also Jewish..nice added bonus and a friend recommended her. So my pelvic exam was a bit scary...I bled. Not alot, she said that the cervix often becomes sensitive during pregnancy and that I shouldn't worry (but of course I worry!!). She also said the bleeding was external and not internal (phew). I am having my first ultrasound on March 8th, unfortunately DH can't go, so I might have to drag a good friend as a replacement. They took lots of blood and of course urine. Feel like a porcupine. The Dr. usually doesn't see people this early but she had a cancellation and was leaving town for awhile so she wanted to get me in. Plus I met a girl in the waiting room who my doctor delivered her two year old and she said she is great.

 

[lol2811]

That is really good it went well and I am sure it makes a massive diference that you are comfortable with the dr.

 

[DrGomps]

yeah...the bleeding really freaked me out...I was afraid I was going to MC!! and i had some more spotting at home but it stopped. Seems to be normal, apparently your cervix becomes engorged and quite sensitive.

 

[DrGomps]

oh and I poas and the hcg levels are still increasing. when do you leave for your holiday?

 

[lol2811]

I think it would scare me a little as well, but I am sure it is all fine and the doctors not worried.

We are leaving thursday night and will be back on the Monday.

 

[DrGomps]

I almost started crying...was convinced AF was coming...the hormones don't help. cuz yesterday would've been the day AF came. But obviously...I am pregnant...the doctor said the bleed was external not from my uterus. When will you tell people when you are pregnant? I have told alot of people really afraid I have jinxed myself, but at the same time if I do have a mc I will have a good support group. Oh and I have never been this pregnant before...just had a chemical pregnancy which stopped early on. Hows the going?? you must be close to o ! Fx'ed for you this cycle...we could both be due in november!! yay!

 

[lol2811]

I will tell close family early on and think I will have to tell work early aswell as my job can be quite stressful but majority of people I probably won't tell until my first scan.

Bd'ing is going well. Will be at it again tonight lol. On cd10 now so still high on my monitor, hoping I will get my first peak in a couple days. Ov'd on cd15 last cycle so hoping it will be then again or earlier would be nice, less waiting then.

 

[DrGomps]

Fx'd for all your BD. Feel like I am hungover all the time. Ugh. And now I am having an aversion to my green tea. I have a good feeling about this cycle for you!!!

 

[lol2811]

I certainly hope you're right. If we have to go another cycle not only will I be devastated but it will be abit awkward as the week I will be due to ovulate I am away on a course about 2 hours drive away so told dh he will have to drive and see me.

Crossing absolutely everything that this is the one!

 

[DrGomps]

what kind of course? Hows your weekend going charlotte? yesterday was feeling pretty sick and was in bed most of the day. Ugh. hopefully today will be better.
