33yr ttc#2 - buddies needed!!!

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

Thank you Jessy and Ladders! I'm 10dpo today! I never expected to see a positive especially this early!

 

[citrusfruit]

Yes yes yes you are pregnant Kim!!!! It's so clear! I only went away for an hour and missed all this!! This thread is doing so well. Fingers crossed for you next ladders.

I had my first positive opk yesterday cupcake. Last cycle I had 3 in a row. Will see what tomorrow's brings or maybe do one later tonight but I think I have o'd. Sad we didn't get a little more BD in but who knew! Will start earlier next month and will prob o late.

 

[Daisies11]

Brilliant line, congratulations Kim! So many babies on the way. Great line for so early too.

 

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

Seriously though I'm so scared to keep getting excited. It's taken so long after the mc to finally get a bfp and now I'm terrified!

On the other hand I keep trying to think positive. How should I tell dh? I'm going to wait till Saturday to do the other frer but I'll keep doing the ic's and first signal to see progression. I'm scared though!

 

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

Thank you Citrus and Daisies. 😊
Citrus, I still think you had perfect timing. I have noticed that I don't O till the day after a positive opk. So if you had a positive yesterday then today could be O day?

Daisies, how are you doing?

 

[Daisies11]

I'm doing good thank you. Feeling nauseous fairly often and have had a couple of times where I've run to be sick but not done as there's been nothing in my stomach as I'm really off my food. The only things that I'm really enjoying are crisps, specifically cheese flavoured & chocolate. And I'm desperate for a big bowl of strawberries, will have to get some!

I hate the first tri though, so much uncertainty and you're also not wanting to shout the news about so trying to cover up feeling awful. I'm not wanting to wish my life away, but I'll be glad to get through the first tri and the scan and then I think I'll enjoy it all more.

Seems strange this time though because we're going to keep the gender a surprise (I think!) and so I feel like I've got this massive thing looming but I can't really do any preparation - we have all the big things already from last time and if we don't know the gender we can't do loads of shopping so it all feels a bit odd.

What do you think your due date will be Kim?

 

[happycupcake]

I thought they were 25miu. Blimey they are some amazing lines this early and your FRER! So pleased for you
I can't believe you have such good lines on those 25miu ICs! That's amazing! So many women don't see even a faint line on a 10miu IC until later! I'm stunned in a good way lol wow

 

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

I'm very surprised too! I'm going to faint if there's two in there! Both my parents have a brother or sister with twins so I'm excited to see what shows on the scan when I have one. I won't make an appointment with my doctor until after my expected period day which is in 5 days. I was shocked when I saw the faint line yesterday on the ic's! I honestly wasn't expecting to be pregnant this time.

Daisies, I'm sorry you're still having ms. I never got it with my first three but did with the one I lost last year so if I get ms again I'm going to be super nervous the whole first tri! I am definitely not off my food. I'm starving all the time and have no idea what I want so I literally eat everything til I find something to satisfy me. I have got to stop this or I'll be as big as the house by the time I deliver! That scares me! But I do usually tend to not want to eat at all in second and third tri so hopefully it'll be the same this time. The whole time we were ttc I kept saying if we ever get pregnant again then I'll want the gender to be a surprise. Nowwww not so much haha! I can't wait to start buying things on Amazon and Walmart.com. Ohhhh speaking of this, where can I find a clear blue digi with weeks estimator? I literally can't find it in the US anywhere! I found some in Canada and the UK. If I order from there will they be able to send it to me? Sorry for getting off topic.

I have no idea on the edd because my cycles are so long. From lmp edd is Jan 31st from a week later (was trying to figure out a date and put it within normal range) the edd is Jan 19th. So I don't know. Maybe you ladies can help me out here? I'm 10dpo today but lmp was April 14th.

 

[curiousowl]

That's so clear Kim, congrats! It looks like my lines at 13dpo with DD so that's awesome!

 

[happycupcake]

I would imagine they will go by your lmp. I don't know where in the US you can find the CB digi with conception indicator, I heard lots of people finding it hard to find them. Have you tried eBay?

 

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

I did look on eBay but I only saw one and it was $45! I definitely won't be buying that one. The crazy thing is is was only ONE test in a very crushed up box! That price is insane.

 

[towwife14]

I'm not sure if they have a food lion near you, Kim, but I saw them there. I've also ran across them in Walmart!

 

[towwife14]

Congratulations! I'm so happy for you!

 

[Sander]

Congrats Kim!
So curious, if you have time (and you happen to remember) could you do a symptom list for us?
I'm asking because I know it sounds dumb but I've been having really small cramps in my lower abdomen all day today - I'm not really attributing it to anything since today is only 2DPO - but I'm curious if you felt any different early on?

 

[dustergrl]

Congrats Kim! Your line is definitely getting darker!

Daisies (I think? I hope?) I'm sorry the ms is difficult for you. But yay for team yellow/green! DS was a surprise and I loved it. All the stuff we have for him (bedding, etc) is gender-neutral, and so are most of the smaller-sized clothes. I liked it that way because honestly I don't want to rebuy this time around. It was so ridiculous though- when he was born, we got so many people who asked us "Wait, so you really *didn't* know if you were having a boy or a girl?" like we just kept it secret from them. Nope! Didn't know.

8dpo here and some uterine cramping the last couple days, but I have done some tests (not fmu; DS usually wakes me up to nurse around 5:30 and I pee before that and forget.) Stark negative, but who knows.

Mom's surgery pain is getting better but her digestive system is very off. Keeping fx that gets better soon, as she is supposed to go on vacation in a little more than a week. Thank you ladies for all the well wishes for her and me.

 

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

Thank you Sander, and Duster! I'm shocked to say the least!

Duster, I really hope your mom starts feeling better soon so she can go on her vacation and have a great time. I have also had some cramping. It's back again today but it stopped for two days and is now back. I'm hoping it's just babe settling in. Good luck on testing! I hope you're our next bfp!

Sander, I'll do one for you. Maybe Jessy, Anni, and Daisies can do one too since every pregnancy is different? They may have had some symptoms I didn't and vise versa.

Thank you, Tow! I don't have one near me. I've actually never heard of it lol but I keep checking Walmart and all the other stores near me to see if I can find one. I'll check the pharmacies and see tomorrow.

I took a look at my FF chart from the month I got knocked up with DD and here's the big things: I had sore nips/nipple twinges basically the entire TWW, insomnia was another one that was pretty prominent the whole time. Abdominal twinges starting around 7dpo along with chapped lips (unusual for me). My sense of smell went into overdrive around 10dpo, and bloating and gas. Then nausea and exhaustion at around when I got my BFP at 13dpo.

Maybe that helps!

 

[Sander]

Thanks curiousowl! I did a bunch of researching today and although lots of people seem to have symptoms early on, no one has really consistently similar symptoms until 8-10dpo (which makes sense I guess haha)
I'm probably just over thinking things - but still like to compare with others so thanks!! (And thanks for the suggestion Kim, appreciate it )

 

[dustergrl]

Soooo. Spoiler- TMI Alert

Spoiler

Streak of red blood in blob of creamy cm when I just wiped. IB? I had IB with DS. Lol I even took a picture of it.

 

[curiousowl]

Is it just me or is it forever until you get to try again after a BFN? Maybe it's just because I O on the later side with a short LP but this feels ridiculous. Like we're not even TTC. And I'm still 9-10 days from O.
