33yr ttc#2 - buddies needed!!!

[happycupcake]

CD5. I think. I literally can't remember what supplements I took earlier because I didn't get to bed until almost 4am and then I didn't sleep properly, so I can't remember anything at the moment

Hi ladies. This is my opk from this morning, fmu. This is the darkest one ive gotten so far on the dollar tree test. I just got in and took another I'll post a comparison pic in a few.

 

[meek0104]

Here's the one i just took? Does it look any darker than the one from this morning? Hoping I have a nice clear positive opk by tonight!

 

[meek0104]

Ooh meek I used grapefruit juice the month I got my bfp so fingers crossed it will do the trick for you too.

I've been feeling pretty crampy all day. I am hoping that it isn't anything to worry about but it's such a worrying time. Just feel really achy in the pelvic region.

Citrus thanks! I hope so too. And I totally understand, I was worried about EVERY ache and pain I felt in my first pregnancy. I would get a great report at the doctors and go home panicking because my back started hurting alot on the ride home. I hope it's just normal pain for you, I'm sure you will be fine!

 

[meek0104]

I'm still so excited about all the BFP's in this group! Sorry I've been quiet - been on holiday at the beach and just waiting to O... so kinda boring

Sander I'm sorry AF got you

Meek I'm about to O! I've been reading a lot about women who ovulate with the full moon and apparently that's us I'm excited!! My OPKs look similar to yours. I figure I'll get a positive in a couple days and we're doing our one try on Sunday. Going for a girl and that's what they say to do so... we will see

Citrus keep peeing on things! I love it! And I loved when I got that blaring +OPK too with my son so cool

So who all is still TTCing here?

Mel, I haven't heard anything about ovulating with the full moon. I'll have to look into that! I posted more pics of my opks from today, they do seem to be a little darker imo. Good luck with bding, hope you get your bfp and your girl!

 

[Daisies11]

Meek, I meant to mention that I was also drinking loads of grapefruit juice when I got my bfp. Maybe it'll do the trick for you too!

Thanks daisies! I've read great things about it so I'm hoping it goes well for us!

 

[Sander]

Also CD5 over here, AF is disappearing, now just more waiting

 

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

Hi ladies! I'm so sorry I haven't posted in a while. I've been reading when I can but I was still 5 pages behind today so can't quite remember what all I've read lol

Meek your opk's are looking good. Good luck with the bd and hopefully you catch the egg!

Mel hopefully you'll get your girl this cycle!

Happycupcake I hope af is gone today so you'll get to O soon. I hope the CoQ10 works for you too and hopefully you'll remember to take it more than I did lol!

Citrus, I was posting and worried about the cramps at 4 weeks too. For me they went away a few days later. I'll be 6 weeks tomorrow and now I just get a small cramp here and there and that's it for now. So I'm sure everything will be fine.

Ladders, I also tend to show a lot sooner than most. I'm 6 weeks tomorrow and I'm so bloated it's unreal!

I'm sorry if I've left anyone out. That's pretty much all I can remember lol

Today I'm feeling better but omg the ms has been awful! Then it got a little better but I think I'm starting to get the flu or something. I'm so nauseous and it doesn't ease up when I try to eat. I'm starting to get my appetite back though but there's still only certain things I want to eat. I'm still very bitchy but not as bad today and very tired all the time. My boob's hurt soooo bad it's unreal and they are already getting huge. I have to go buy new bras tomorrow because my boob's keep trying to fall out of the ones I have now. Oh and I can finally sleep now. Thankfully!

Today is my dd's birthday. She's 15 😱 where has the time gone?! Ds1 turned 14 on the 5th. I swear they were just babies yesterday...

 

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

Oh and I forgot to mention I have an appointment on Tuesday with my OB. They are supposed to do a scan so I hope we get to see the heartbeat.

And citrus you asked a while back about the names dh keeps saying and I keep asking if he's joking. For a girl he suggested Roberta. Although I have nothing against Roberta I just wouldn't choose that name for my daughter. Also for a boy he said something like Alfred. It wasn't exactly Alfred but something like that and again I have nothing against it. I think Al would be cute, it's just not a name I would pick. So I think I'll be naming this one lol

 

[meek0104]

Hopeful sounds like pregnancy symptoms are in full effect. Hoping they take it easy on you!

 

[citrusfruit]

How many weeks are you Kim?

Meek, I think those two tests are quite similar. Hope it got darker this evening.

Cramps have eased up today so I think it was probably down to pelvic congestion/increased blood flow to the area and standing up all day at work. I'm 4+5 today I think.

Hope everyone else is well.

 

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

Thanks Meek.
Citrus I'm 5w6d today

 

[happycupcake]

Stupid af. I keep thinking oh there isn't anything maybe it's leaving and then it's there again like it's mocking me. I swear my uterus is having some sort of laugh at my expense. "Oh, I'm going now bye bye... OOPS only joking". To be clear, I'm not hearing voices...

So a day earlier but it's taking longer to leave. There just had to be a catch and I didn't read the small print.

I have been a right bitch today. It just hasn't been a good day. I can't remember. It started with lack of sleep because I didn't go to bed until almost 4am and then obviously have to get out of bed early for the children so I had mind fog for ages and then I was too tired so I had a nap and then decided to eat too soon after that so that triggered anxiety and we were going to go out for a while but couldn't because of that and then because I was anxious I was snappy and was mean to my husband and then had some incoherent rant about God only knows what during a complete meltdown.
Next door is being turned into a HMO which isn't helping because previous neighbours were a nightmare. I thought newborns meant sleep deprivation but inconsiderate neighbours blaring music out and shouting for 3-4 days every week all night until 7-8am, this also does the same but worse because they are being inconsiderate and selfish, and I foresee this happening again only with four to five separate people instead of one person. The landlord, or person who claims to be (I don't believe him, there's something about him I can't put my finger on but I know he's lying about something), is cagey about his plans and rude as well. I asked him who he was as I didn't know, I asked "who are you in regards to the house?", and he was all bolshy "why who are you?" with an attitude. So we are all getting a petition together because there are a number of reasons why it wouldn't be a good idea. Anyway that's been playing into my anxiety a lot, we already don't like being in this house but can't move at the moment. And I had some mouthy teenage girl giving me lip because I saw she dropped a piece of paper, an envelope, and I asked her if it was important because she dropped it. She said it wasn't, so I asked her to please pick it up and put it in the bin (which was right there) to which she refused and I said it wasn't ok to litter and could she please throw it in the bin... the response I got was refusal and threats of her mother smashing my face in... hmmm... I would LOVE to see her try. I haven't yet come across any irate mothers. Teenagers round here don't have an ounce of respect for anyone these days. This most certainly isn't how we bring our children up! My God if I heard one of my children talking to someone like that when they were in the wrong I would be SO cross. Cannot stand this area anymore

 

[dustergrl]

Citrus, that progression is awesome!

Mel, I'm still ttc.

Cupcake, sorry about the stress next door. :/

opk super light still.

 

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

Oh Happycupcake I'm sorry you're having a bad day and your neighbors are being rude. I would have asked her to pick up her trash too and I would have told her to tell her mother where to come lol I hope things work out with the petition. I also hope you are feeling better after the anxiety.
I lol'd about you clarifying that you don't actually hear voices lol last cycle af did the same thing to me. Cd1 was heavy then cd2 absolutely nothing which is not normal then cd3 back to heavy and cd4 gone again cd5-6 was just spotting and finally cd7 gone and stayed gone. That was by far the most unusual af I've ever had. But I ended up conceiving that cycle so fx it's a good thing for you too!

 

[meek0104]

Cupcake, so sorry you are having a rough day. Bad neighbors are the worst. And you are so right, the way some kids talk and behave nowadays... my oh my. I c ouldnt imagine talking to a other adult in that manner when I was younger. My mom would be in my face if she even thought I exhaled too hard when she told me to do something.

 

[curiousowl]

Ugh, sorry cupcake. I would be in a bad mood after all that.

 

[curiousowl]

I think I'm imagining symptoms just because I want them now. Like chapped lips, because that was a very early TWW symptom for me with DD. Now, I'm like "my lips are a little dry. But are they or do I just want them to be? Maybe they're normally this way and I just don't think about? But surely they're not normally this dry. But maybe that's normal..." Gah!

I did start to tear up a little while watching Wonder Woman tonight and except for when I was pregnant, I never cry at movies so fx!

 

[annio84]

Hi ladies, I've been MIA again. I've worked loads this week. I ended up coming home early yesterday because I had some spotting when I went to the loo. It's all stopped now and not getting any pains or anything but I'm really scared. Epu won't see me because I can persuade anyone to refer me. Out of hours service just said it'll either get worse or better. Go to A&E if it gets worse. I'm trying to persuade hubby we should get a private scan but he's having none of it.

Hope you ladies are all ok. I have read up to date but I don't think I took anything in. Except cupcake, sorry about the neighbors stress. Hope everyone else is ok.
