33yr ttc#2 - buddies needed!!!

[happycupcake]

Sorry about the rant! Kim I actually said something to that effect. Go ahead, bring your mother here! I told her to sod off in the end and she was all "you shouldn't talk to me like that in front of your children" and I said well what example are you setting by littering and being rude and mouthy in front of them and threatening me?!? So, I can't say "oh, sod off" because this makes me a monster of a mother but she can scream abuse at me effing and blinding and threatening to have my face smashed in purely because I asked her nicely, to please put her rubbish in the bin which was next to her. Ok. The younger children were oblivious, the older ones thought she was a joke. She even thrust her chest out at me like a bloke in some weird demonstration of her apparent tough nut prowess

Anyway. CD6 and I *think* af has gone. I have minimal spotting, if you can call it that. More like vaguely discoloured cm. sorry lol
I have Preseed, I have been taking my supplements but have yet to start aspirin which I can do now and coQ10 but I'm apprehensive because the pills are quite huge and I have trouble swallowing (I know, funny but isn't any other way to put it )
I think I will buy some pineapple or pineapple juice today but I can't remember why.
I hope everyone is ok!

Sorry to hear about the neighbour stuff cupcake. Some teenagers (not all) can be awful, generally the ones that don't have a family who are teaching them right from wrong. Not nice to have that on your doorstep.

Sorry to hear about the spotting anni. I hope you're ok. Hopefully it's just your body telling you to take it a bit easy. Get some rest and think positive- if it's stopped that's a good sign.

 

[JessyG]

Anni so sorry to hear about the spotting. Definitely take it easy.

I had my reassurance scane today. Measuring 7w3d and saw our little baby blob with a lovely flickering heartbeat. So nice to see everything looking good. We had to drive an hour to get there then i had to pee 3 times while there as i had a ridiculously full bladder. I am really happy and am hoping i can be reassured for a few weeks now.

 

[meek0104]

Great news Jessy!
I agree with the other ladies, take it easy Anni!
Curious, hoping that the symptoms you are feeling (or think you.are feeling haha) means your bfp is on the way!

Afm, I'm STILL waiting for this darn opk to turn positive.....i held my pee all night and when I went this morning, the test line is darker but not as dark as control line. I'm beginning to think my follie will still be there at my check up tomorrow.... I'm getting really impatient and frustrated, although my cm has picked up and I'm cramping like crazy, I just want the egg to release so I can start my tww obsession!!!

 

[meek0104]

This is my opk from this morning, fmu.

 

[meek0104]

So close!

If we dtd tonight, we should be okay? I don't want to miss the egg!

 

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

Meek that's soo close. I'm betting it'll be positive by tonight or the morning. I think you should be fine with dtd tonight. Good luck!

Happycupcake, I would have done everything you did.

Jessy, Yay for seeing the heartbeat! ❤

Anni, how are you? I hope the spotting has stopped completely.

Daisies, you're almost in the double digits!

 

[Daisies11]

Kim, I know! When you find out it seems like it's so early on but all of a sudden I'm thinking that it's now less than 3 weeks until our scan, and once that's been I think time will really speed up. I need to get my energy back soon because there's so much we need to do before the baby comes. Or at least what we want to do - lots of decorating in the house and some nice days out with ds making the most of this year as a three. I've got a little belly coming now too, I need to rethink my work wardrobe because some of my clothes are showing way too much gut now and people aren't going to think it's just post holiday bloat!

How are you doing?

Been thinking about you Anni, hope all is ok and you've been able to take it easy today.

 

[Daisies11]

Ooh and meek, that looks close to me, get bd!!

 

[citrusfruit]

Wow daisies so exciting, didn't know you were so far along! I know what you mean about time dragging and then speeding up. 2nd tri is the nice bit though, movement and reassurance and all that. I loved it last time. I hope my pregnancy is as kind to me this time (but my birth kinder, please please please!)

Anni how are you doing?

Aw Jessy that's great news about the scan. I'm debating paying for an early one myself.

Meek that opk is so nearly positive. Fingers crossed for tomorrow's.

Cupcake can't remember if I said but your neighbours sound like a nightmare.

Still fairly symptom free here which is worrrying me a tiny bit. Planning to take another test in a few days just to make sure that line is still nice and dark.

 

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

Daisies, I agree. It seems like the time is dragging for me. But I remember 2 weeks ago asking when I should schedule my first OB appointment with my doctor and it seemed so far away. My appointment is Tuesday so now I'm thinking where has 2 weeks gone?! I agree about getting the energy back. I'm so tired and my house is really starting to show my lack of energy lol I have so much to do and no desire to do anything at all. Oh well. The older kids can do it for now til I get some energy.

Citrus, I'm sure everything is fine. Maybe you are one of the lucky ones with no symptoms. Mine really started kicking in around 5w3d except for the tiredness. That started before my bfp lol have you decided if you will book a early scan?

 

[ricschick]

Anni hope all is ok and spotting has stopped!

Meek yep nearly there!!!

Citrus I'm sure all is fine must symptoms don't start until more nearer 6/7 weeks anyway for some!

Cupcake sorry you've had a tough weekend !! Hope your feeling better!!
Hopfl good luck for Tuesday!

Jessy great news on the scan!!

Not much to report here af has left the building so the waiting begins! I have a busy week so that helps , I'm going to my grandads funeral tomorrow 😢 Then Tuesday 3 of my children have an eye check up as Lucy and Jamie Babe both had cataracts removed so they go for regular check ups and joanie still has her cataracts but mild at the moment. And then Wednesday and Thursday I have sports day to go to. So busy busy busy!!!

 

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

Rics, sorry to hear about your grandad. It's so hard to lose someone.

It's good you have a busy week to pass the time to O.

 

[happycupcake]

Citrus, don't worry I'm sure all is fine. Some people don't see much in the way of symptoms but as Kim said, many kick in a few weeks after your positive test so you may start feeling it soon but let's hope you are one of the lucky few who escape them!

Rics I'm sorry about your grandad. Is it today, the funeral? You posted at 3 minutes past midnight so I don't know whether you mean tomorrow or today. Thinking of you though, I hope his memory is celebrated and you are able to find some peace within that.

Af has left for me too. Barely any spotting yesterday. I didn't remember to temp until I got dressed today though! I can't believe I didn't remember. I took it anyway but didn't log it as it was so high it was way too high to be realistic. I would have if it had been close to what I believed it would be, but it wasn't anywhere close. It would be what I would expect to see post ovulation and I don't want to confuse the app...
I have to hand in my birth certificate today so my GP can sign to say she can verify my identity so I can get my student loan. I don't know why I didn't remember to include this Thursday, what a dipstick! Once I have sent that off that's that until October I think. So I will have to get on with reading the books I have here to give me a head start. I have a book on critical thinking and forensic psychology, and I am ordering a book about writing books (I require a helping hand with putting ideas on paper).
At this precise moment in time our four year old daughter is trying to use my face as a canvas, wielding a black marker pen...

 

[curiousowl]

So sorry for your loss Rics.

 

[curiousowl]

Not feeling great this morning. 8dpo and I think I'm PMSing. My LP has been 11 days so I guess that would fit. Idk. I have some of those ovulation double check tests that measure progesterone and the other month I tried them they were fine but this month I can't get a positive. I'm wondering if it means my progesterone is too low to get pregnant or what. Maybe I should try progesterone cream or something. Ugh.

 

[meek0104]

Of course, i ran out of opk's last night and the final one i took was the same as the one from earlier yesterday. I'm gonna assume that my surfe was this morning but i got bloodwork done so will call later to confirm. Lining was a 12, follie was 24mm. I got to see DH's sperm under the microscope and they were moving all over, which the nurse says is great and exactly what they wanted to see. Also I think the grapefruit juice is working well because she checked my mucus and said there was lots of great mucus. I'm so excited all seems to be going well. Now just waiting to finally o, I'm hoping by tonight since my last few cycles I woke up in the middle of the night with baf lower back and pelvic pain and would notice post o symptoms in the few days to follow. I'm temping and they seem to be all over the place, but FF hasn't marked for o since they are waiting to see 3 days of high temps. I have noticed on the nights we've had the A.C. on that my temps are a little lower.

Anni hope all is ok and spotting has stopped!

Meek yep nearly there!!!

Well ladies life has been super busy recently, and I have not had time to read though and catch up, but I'm now 3 days late for AF. Nipples REALLY sensitive and my boobs hurt when I run. (NEVER HAPPENS) Tested Saturday when af was due BFN. Tested again this morning and another BFN. I'm so confused.
