33yr ttc#2 - buddies needed!!!

[ladders]

Yeh curious is good to have you here! I definitely remember your never ending cycles and I'm really pleased it's not like that this time. If also suffered with a short lp last cycke of only 8 days!!! Hoping it's just a strange cycle after coming off bcp and won't be a regular things. Started taking b6 and vit c thoigh just in case.

Cupcake I envy your acupuncture it made me feel great! I'd love to do it again.

So I got my positive today whoop whoop, cervix really high and open so sure it's correct but you can see from the pic why I stopped using ic's for my surge!!!!

I didn't even consider temping vaginally - could anyone recommend me a thermometer? And do I just stick it in and wait? 😂

Hello curiousowl!

I have 2 very close friends who I share all my trials and tribulations with, it's too hard to go it alone! One of them is pregnant though which makes me very jealous!

 

[ladders]

Looks like I'll always need yo use the digi alongside!

 

[ladders]

Sadako I got one from Amazon from babymed, don't think it matters much as long as a bbt thermometer so it goes to two decimal points. I temp vaginally and it beeps when it's done and it's quite loud so you'll definitely know. It's my first month temping and quite enjoying it but I do like to be organised so think it plays to that!

 

[curiousowl]

Thank so for the welcome ladies! I haven't told anyone we're TTC again so I'm sure that's part of it. Last time around I had 1 friend who we shared all of this. I might tell her soon, I'm just not ready quite yet.

Yes, that was a crazy time ladders! Lol. I hope to be less insane this time around, though given the amount of symptom spotting I did this time around who knows Hope your cycle evens out soon!

Cupcake, thanks! I've been taking a B6 supplement in hopes of getting an extra day or 2 on my LP but no change yet. I asked my midwife about it and she told me that 11 days was within the realm of normal and that we needed to try for a while, see what happens. So here we are. I'll give it some time and then go back if nothing.

Sadako, I have a MABIS thermometer from Amazon. I originally practiced a couple times wide awake so I didn't stab myself half asleep lol! But yeah, just make sure the tip is fully in and you're good!

 

[SadakoS]

I've bought one so hopefully it'll come so I can start using it once AF as buggered off!
It'll be interesting to see, I like being involved in the process so this gives me something to do!

Sadako yes, much like a penis - stick it in and wait. Only the finish is slightly different. Unless your OH has a bleeping appendage of course lol

Ladders, how weird your OPK dipstick is so light with your smiley face!
Why don't you get some sessions of acupuncture in?

Curiousowl yes eleven days whilst short, isn't beyond what can be usual, everyone is different. Hopefully this won't be an issue for you! Did you say your lp was similar before or didn't you know? I can't remember what you said

Hahahaha, so funny! Omg.

I don't really know what it was since I got pregnant both of the times I finally O'd last time around. It's so annoying to not know!

*beep beep* "OK I'm finished now"

😂😂😂

 

[happycupcake]

Actually, this would be helpful at times lol

 

[dustergrl]

Welcome curious!

Omg that is crazy ladders! Flashing or solid smiley? Glad you got your positive! Do you know the brand of the ic's you're using? I use Wondfo and they seem to do well.

Ladies, please keep fx for my mom- she was diagnosed with appendicitis today after having pain for THREE DAYS *grr*. Having surgery tonight I believe. So I may be missing for a few days if I end up needing to help her out...

 

[citrusfruit]

Oh duster I keep hearing of appendicitis! Literally the third time this week. Hope your mum is ok.

Gosh ladders that reeeeallly doesn't look positive on the opk does it? I hope my cheapies work better as my boots ones worked really well last month but they were 5 for £5 instead of 30 for £5!!!

I got a promotion today at work!! Wooo but also feel bad that I will potentially be going off at some point. You can't turn these things down though can you, what if it takes ages to conceive? If I am pregnant this month I'll feel a bit bad though!

Hi Ladies,

So sorry to just butt in, but I could really use some buddies on here. This is our first cycle TTC. We're not telling anyone, and I'm so exited about it I may bust if I don't find someone to vent to soon.

We just BD for the first time last night even though I'm only on CD 7. We just couldn't contain ourselves. This will be our first baby.

 

[citrusfruit]

Ooh and page 100. Go us!

 

[towwife14]

How long did it take you all to conceive your first?

If you'd rather me butt out, just say so. I'm really not familiar with forum etiquette haha.

 

[happycupcake]

Duster, keeping everything crossed for your mum and will be thinking of you both.

Hi Towwife

 

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

Lmao! Happycupcake! That's hilarious. Beep! OK I'm done...

Well I was finally able to get on here today and dh called and now needs me to do something real quick so I'll be back to read the rest of the posts and reply.

Welcome Curious!

 

[dustergrl]

Thanks ladies. She is having surgery at 10 tonight, so in about 4 hours. I just wish she wouldn't have waited three days to see a doctor...

Hi towwife! I'm so socially awkward, so it was hard for me to join in here. You are ttc #1, or #2? It took us 10 months ttc ds.

 

[towwife14]

Hi Duster! I'm way too socially awkward myself if you couldn't already tell haha.

We're trying for baby #1. I'm sure you all remember how scary/exciting trying for the first time is. I honestly still can't believe it's finally time.

We're you actively trying or just kinda BD whenever you want and letting things happen?

 

[dustergrl]

We were actively trying.
