Big hugs, Dos. A sewing class sounds like a great idea. Have you considered audiobooks instead of regular books, too?
 
Dos, A sewing class would be so much fun! I wish we could do it together! I've been wanting to go to one. I just got my great grandmothers old sewing machine and have been wanting to learn! :) Or even pick up a bit of crochet! ;-)
 
Sorry to hear about your panic attacks Dos!!! Please know that you're not alone - I have the SAME issue. I'd say we all do to some degree! the more we try to relax the more worked up we get.

I'm also feeling deflated this week. Only two more periods and we're trying again - so close yet so far away!! I found the evening primrose oil at walmart tonight. I think I'll try it this cycle and next just to see if I notice a difference in my mucus during ovulation. I keep having weird dreams of being pregnant one minute then the next it's like my baby belly is missing. Anyone else find they have crazy/vivid dreams on prenatal vitamins? Some of my dreams are completely insane.

Two of my cousins announced they were pregnant, one 3 weeks ago and one on the weekend. I hid my sadness quite well and was quite jealous thinking "why them and not me" and the typical 5 year old response "Not fair!" and then my one cousin old me today that she miscarried and I felt awful even thinking that. She was JUST pregnant though - only 10 days passed her missed period but she did have a BFP.

Sometimes it's hard not to felt left behind - right?

I'm wishing everyone a lot of baby dust this week for those ovulating! And I'm sending relaxing vibes to those waiting :)
 
Dos- I would love to take a sewing class! I see all of these great tutorials online and I'm just like, I wish I could make that! Sounds fun, you should definitely do it!

Northerngal- that's so normal and we all do it. I hate myself for feeling jealous or having the why not me attitude but it's so hard not to feel like everyone else has moved on and I'm still waiting for my time.

I haven't noticed weird dreams with my prenatals but I do have weird dreams sometimes so it could be related. Not sure!

As for me, the witch showed so I'm out and now have officially hit one year of trying. I think I'm dealing with it well. I called the fertility specialist in the area today to talk to them and ask some questions so I kind of feel good about taking the next step so we can at least try something new. Not sure how long it will take to get an appt but I need a referral from my doctor first. Baby steps.
 
I'm really sorry, RF. I'm proud of you for handling it well though and excited that now you can start to make some game plans to try something new. Big big big :hugs:
 
Really sorry to hear that rfor must be hard to hit the year mark, I would definitely recommend having some tests because it could be something that is simply rectified or nothing hopefully but then your mind will be put at rest
 
Hi ladies,

It's been a while since I posted on here. I'm still catching up.

Ladders, congrats on getting your positive smiley. Hope you caught that egg.

RF, sorry AF showed. Hugs :hugs:

Mgreen, I didn't know much about the US insurance. I need to read up on that more.

Dos, hope you're feeling better. TTC is such a roller coaster ride
 
Thanks ladies. I think it was easier because I was expecting this since I know we are dealing with pretty significant male factor. The good news is that my hubby is on board for anything. I still will likely be doing the planning and appt making but I know I am lucky to have a husband who is willing to do whatever it takes. I'm hoping that his issue is the only one we are dealing with.

Good luck to all who are waiting!
 
RF, Sorry to hear AF showed. But hopefully once you get your appointments rolling you will get your BFP rather quickly.

Dos, hope you are feeling better.

Sorry if I missed any other news. I am apparently getting old as this past weekend of travel has kicked my butt and I'm still tired. Of course dealing with lost luggage and a giant snow storm hasn't helped. Can't wait for the weekend so I can catch up on my sleep. :sleep: I do believe I have finally succumbed to the cold that has been floating around as I have a lovely chest cough going on today. Hoping such a thing won't overly affect the temping. Otherwise, getting a cold and traveling will not make a great first chart. But yesterday and today during the day I have felt very hot, like my face is really hot and I took my temp yesterday afternoon to see if I was running a fever. It was 99.5 so I very well could be. But even without any meds, it went back down to 98.3 this morning so obviously if I had a fever it wasn't that bad. Here's to hoping.

Good luck ladies. Hopefully, this cycle will bring another one of us a BFP.
 
Ooh PDReggie sorry you've had a rough trip! I had a bad cold last week and got a fever. Totally screwed with my chart! So annoying. Yours doesn't look like it was affected too badly though. Good luck!
 
I just joined bnb and I am in the same boat as some of you. 29 and ttc #1. I am 5dpo right now, hoping this is the one that sticks! We have been trying since Oct (that's when I had my impanon taken out) and January was the first month I had a regular cycle :) Good luck everyone!

Thus far the chart seems ok. At least I think so. Of course I don't really know the first thing about it so it could be really crazy! :wacko: The really crazy one day it bounced really high was the day after we traveled to NM so it was technically 2 hours later than I normally take my temp. FF said to just note that I was traveling and didn't make it an open circle so I let it go. We will see what happens. Mostly, I'm just fascinated by the chart. It meets a lot of my neurotic needs. :haha:

Good luck and welcome! We have been trying since Oct. too. I stopped BCP last April but waited a while before TTC to see if my period would regulate or have problems since I went on BCP for problem periods when I was very young.

So I have a strange question for everyone. So the past few days I have been having creamy CM. I honestly don't know if this is normal for me since I haven't really paid attention before. But I thought you weren't supposed to have CM during the TWW since you should have high progesterone levels. Does creamy CM now mean that my estrogen levels are too high? And if so, is this something I need to call the doctor about because it could be a problem?
 
Welcome gingerpoppy!

Reggie - I always thought creamy CM during the 2ww was normal. That's always what I have. I did a little research and have come to the conclusion that everybody's CM during the 2ww seems to vary. I dunno...but if it makes you feel better, creamy is pretty much all I ever have during the 2ww.
 
Welcome Gingerpoppy!

Reggie - I agree with dos, everyone is different but I always have creamy or sticky cm in the TWW. I don't think it indicates a problem at all.

Hi Ginger! Lovely to meet you! I am 7dpo now so we're not too far off each other!!

Reggie, I agree with the others, everyone's CM is different!!


So I know I said I wouldn't be spot checking but I have tender bbs again, feeling slightly dizzy, and a weird taste in my mouth.

Either way, once again, I could be crazy because I know my symptoms last time seemed really promising and ended up with a BFN. I guess we'll see!
 
Now that I've been tracking my symptoms, I have discovered that my bb's get sore as soon as I ovulate and stay that way until AF gets here...then they miraculously stop being tender. I really think I'm going to be good about symptom spotting this time, as I've finally learned that even when I am not pregnant, I have TONS of "promising" symptoms during my 2ww that just turn out to be cruel jokes my body plays on me. So I don't care if I'm freaking LACTATING, I'm assuming nothing...because my body's a jerk face. :thumbup:
 
Reggie- I hope you feel better!

Ginger - Welcome!

Dos- it always helps when your body is predictable!

As for me, I got hit with morning(ok, evening) sickness yesterday and I was crying uncontrollably. I tried Saltines and those were too salty ( I just didn't like it) and then toast this mornning (I don't really like bread to begin with) and I just didn't like it. Lunch was yogurt(they wouldn't make me eggs because it was lunch time) and that seems to have gone well. I just had some applesauce and am doing okay. I just feel so icky. Hopefully tonight I will sleep better. Tomorrow I go to the psychiatrist so we will see what he says.

Mgreen, my bestie is pregnant right now also, she is about 6 weeks.. they have been trying for a while, so i am happy for her. She is having horrible morning sickness as well, and she tried pretzels(of all things) eats a couple when she first gets up, and it seems to help her... worth a shot
