33yr ttc#2 - buddies needed!!!

[SadakoS]

Omg I'm exactly the same! Just worried it'll take forever. I did feel nauseous this morning but that could be anything. Does my temp look likea it'll continue to go down?

 

[happycupcake]

Sadako, your temps are still so high I wouldn't be too worried. See what the following days bring, hopefully a positive test!

Mel, you are still so early on it's less likely you will see a positive test now, but give it a few days and hopefully you will see a nice test line appear

 

[curiousowl]

Sadako, your temps still look nice and high to me. I wouldn't count yourself out yet!

Mel, that's exactly it. I am not absolutely dying to be pregnant right this instant (though it would be nice) but the fear of not knowing when/if is scary. TTC is rough no matter what I've determined. 8dpo is early though so fx for you.

Ugh I hate how when I type ": hug :" it makes that "hugs" graphic and when you type ": hugs :" it does the actual hug. I always get it backwards - ha!

Yes... it is so so stressful not knowing. I just feel like going through infertility treatment would be one of the worst feelings, the not knowing and feeling sort of like broken? I guess it's because people tend to brag about getting prego quickly, so I feel like, oh I'm less fertile than you/not as much of a woman?

OMG SORRY for all the deep emotional stuff right now, ha! I will admit I have been a little distant about this thread because I'm jealous of all the bfps But no one else gets what we're doing atm.

Sadako did you chart last cycle?

 

[SadakoS]

No this is my first time temping so I can't compare to anything

 

[happycupcake]

Sadako your chart looks perfectly fine to me, a good example of what they look like when everything is going good. You can clearly see where ovulation happened, even if the lines weren't there, and your temps are where averages fall, doesn't look like you have any issues with that.
I know we are different people, but if it helps I can post some of mine if you want. They are pretty clear, March was a little whacky though.

Mel I understand what you mean. But I'm sure at some point soon, you will be sharing your positive test too

 

[SadakoS]

That would be great, thanks!
One much lighter pale brown wipe ando nothing else yet. Fingers crossed.

 

[ladders]

Definitely think that's the worse thing with ttc! You have no idea when it going to happen and it seems like nothing you do makes a difference. I think when you've had a hard time the first time you naturally start feeling like it will be the same. I was also surrounded by woman who either wasn't even trying or first month to get preggo like how is that even possible!

Mel don't feel out yet I still think you have a good chance and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you.

sadako what dpo are you now?

Cupcake id be vary of raspberry leaf tea after ovulation because I also read it can cause minor uterine contractions just like epo can and then can Interfere with implantation. Some people also drink it to try to bring on labour so must do something like that!

 

[SadakoS]

10dpo today. If it is after spotting my lp is a day shorter than it has been which is a bit disheartening.

 

[ricschick]

Sadako I think your chart looks good!!! I hope you get a bfp!!!

Cupcake I was always told not to drink raspberry leaf tea after conception or in the 1st trimester. I would drink it at the end as it ripens the cervix. X

I'm still waiting to ov getting cramps today but still neg opk but it's hard as it's so hot here at the mo I'm drinking more than usual!!

 

[citrusfruit]

MEl I always felt exactly the same when ttc. Not desperate to be pregnant but at the same time desperate! It is definitely the unknown of how long it will take from that point forward that's hard.

Good luck to all others in the tww. Sorry if you're feeling out but it does still seem early for you all. Fingers crossed.

6 weeks here. Symptoms are incredibly fleeting, it makes me so nervous but I am trying to be positive and enjoy it. Keep thinking about the gender and worrying I'll be disappointed if it's a boy. 20 weeks is such a long time for the anticipation to build up.

Hi ladies, checking in again.
I am currently 8dpo and have been having some cramps throughout my pubic/pelvic area that have me a bit excited as it is out of the norm for me, they are really down low. But then again, I'm on progesterone, so I'm never quite sure what to blame for how I'm feeling...

 

[melewen]

I feel completely nuts for even saying this, but I have seriously been having nausea for the last few days. I know it's way too early for the hcg to be causing symptoms, but I also felt really just sicky when I a few dpo with my first. I think your body is like WHOOOOOA WTFFFFF FINALLY!!!!!!! hahaha

Anyway, I'm sure it's nothing but it's weird. And annoying. And I'm having ovary twinges nonstop but they're on both sides so I'm just assuming I have two lovely cysts giving me nausea, fatigue, and twinges. Yay ovaries!

Have any of you all had symptomatic cysts? I've had cysts in the past but have only ever just like "felt" them, like been aware they're there. No real pains or anything.

I had a cyst burst 1 time. Worst pain ever. But that's it as far as I know.

Did you have any symptoms before it burst?

 

[happycupcake]

Mel, it could be the change in hormones. I always see symptoms in my lp now. It's frustrating!

Sadako, my charts from January to May, temping orally. This cycle I'm temping vaginally instead.
First is January. Then February, March onwards. March was a little crazy but I introduced vitamins and acupuncture then I think, so since that was the only thing different I guess that's why

 

[happycupcake]

And this cycle so far, temps are higher vaginally

Nope. Just really painful all of a sudden.

 

[SadakoS]

Thank you Cupcake! My temp is still up this morning but no spotting as of yet. I kind of think I haven't been long enough yet for gravity to get things moving yet though

 

[happycupcake]

One Step ICs are truly evil tests sometimes. I am 5dpo, don't ask me why I do this, I always plan to test 7dpo earliest but I have an urge to poas so I do, with the knowledge I won't see anything at this point, which is fine.
What isn't fine, though, is seeing a super faint line that actually has the faintest shade of pink. Even if I had an egg on speed it wouldn't happen this fast
