33yr ttc#2 - buddies needed!!!

[happycupcake]

Ttc is hard! I haven't paid any attention to my cycles or fertility before now, I certainly have a whole new admiration for everyone actively ttc and trying to figure it all out, and more so for those ltttc

After an almost 3hr visit I finally got to see my little pebble! they are 2 days behind so baby is measuring 6 weeks exactly but the Dr said it's normal and the next ultrasound will be more accurate since I'll be 10 weeks by then. Also baby's heartbeat was only 114bpm. I was worried about it but the Dr said since baby's heart JUST started beating it'll be a little lower this time but next time the heartbeat should be stronger and faster and she said she wasn't concerned at all. Baby looks great and I'm healthy so I'm happy with how the appointment went. Now I can't wait for the next appointment in 4 weeks!

So happy to hear that hopeful!

Hey ladies. Just checking in. How's everyone?

I had my appt yesterday, the nurse called and confirmed my lh level was a 77 so they believed I was surging and should ovulate between last night and today. Happy to say I'm feeling lots of action on my left side currently so I hope I'm ovulating. We BD on Friday, Sunday night and this morning. DH says he is tired and has nothing left in the tank! So that is all the BDing we will do this cycle. Doc gave me 200mg progesterone pills and wanted me to start tonight but I think I will wait until tomorrow night to at least confirm o.

 

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

Ugh it won't let me upload the ultrasound picture

 

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

Thank you, Meek! Also that's exciting that you are ovulating and had great timing. Good luck! I hope this is your month and you get your bfp!

 

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

Maybe this time it will work? This is today's ultrasound picture of my little pebble

 

[curiousowl]

That sounds like good timing Meek!

Hopfl, great news! DD's HB was 90 at exactly 6w and they weren't worried about that either so I think you're in good shape.

 

[citrusfruit]

Aw Kim that's great!! So reassuring. I'm 5 weeks today and still not really any symptoms apart from sore boobs! Feeling ok though.

Meek your timing sounds good, fingers crossed! I can't remember, are you an early tester or a wait for AF-we?!

Curious any sign of AF?

 

[happycupcake]

Kim, I'm so happy for you and don't worry about the hb, it's perfectly fine

Meek, yay for ovulation!

Citrus, I think you are one of the lucky few who don't see too many symptoms. I hope this continues for you! I had fewer symptoms with my first. My boys actually I had fewer than daughter.

My chart is looking less rocky this cycle so far. I'm temping vaginally instead so I think this is why. I didn't remember one temp and remembered the day before yesterday but that wasn't until I had got out of bed and dressed so it was wayyy higher than it would have been so I discarded it! I was worried it may confuse the app. I don't have any positive OPKs but I don't expect to see a positive until at least tomorrow, probably Friday or Saturday more realistically though, I suspect

 

[curiousowl]

Citrus, nothing yet! Fx. My temps are steady and high so I'm hoping for the best.

Cupcake, my temps are so much less rocky vaginally too.

 

[ricschick]

Ahh great news Kim!!!

Citrus glad your still feeling ok!! Treasure it lol.

Curious good luck I have a good feeling!!

Cupcake I hope this is your cycle!!!

Woohoo meek finally ov has happened good luck.

Afm not much to report. Cm has increased it seems since taking epo but had anyone taken it and they have ovulated earlier? I feel a little crampy so I took an opk and it wasn't positive but it was darker than st this stage last month?

 

[curiousowl]

Eeek, thanks Rics!

 

[meek0104]

I want to hold out on testing, but I am usually an early tester. With my daughter I got a very faint bfp at 10dpo so I know I probably won't be able to hold out past then haha

So i checked my cervix, trying to see if I could confirm o with a change in cm, My cervix was very easy to reach and hard, felt like there was a bump on it. Does that mean it is closed? Also, my cm had little bits of ewcm, but mainly lotion like. I was told to start my progesterone supplements today so I took one this morning with my prenatal. Also i am temping this cycle, and my temp is higher, but I have a cold from my LO so not sure if the temp spike was because of O or due to being sick. I know that can affect things.

 

[happycupcake]

Meek I would guess you have ovulated due to the change in cm and temp

 

[ladders]

Yes meek I think you've already ovulated which makes your bd timing even more great so I think you've got a good shot this cycle. I found my cm turned really quickly too.

Kim im so so pleased pebble is doing well and I think that's a great hb for 6 weeks! Congrats

Citrus nothing really kicked in for me either apart from feeling really tired (but Feel like iv been tired for the last 2 1/2 years lol) and my boobs are really sore, thank God they are little 😂 I did wee and then dipped an ic into the toilet to see of I'd get a line and I did so did make me feel better about my hg levels, strange things we do eh 😂😂

Oh curious your chart looks good!!

 

[curiousowl]

Thanks ladders! I have everything crossed.

 

[citrusfruit]

Looking good curious...hoping you are our next bfp!

Ladders sounds just like me. I wouldn't say boobs are realllly sore thought, just more big?! As though they are straining to get out lol then it's a relief at the end of the day when I can release them!!! I did also gag earlier taking the bin out. It has been very hot mind...yuck. But it was very much like with my son. Oh I have also been peeing on things. Did this morning actually!!!

 

[curiousowl]

So why is it that anything you google in the TWW is supposedly connected to pregnancy?! It's so bad. Like last night I got a weird lump in my throat feeling. I still have it now. Last time I had this I had strep in the fall but I felt truly terrible then and I don't feel bad now. So I googled it and there were a bunch of posts of people talking about this in the TWW and early pregnancy and now I really have my hopes up and I just know I'm going to be crushed if AF shows up.
