33yr ttc#2 - buddies needed!!!

[JessyG]

Oh my goodness the heat here is crazy. I could never love in a warm climate. As lovely as it looks its a nightmare to work and sleep in!

I got my 3+ on a digi today! Woohoo. Kim i am impatiently waiting for todays test . Cupcake how many days left before testing begins? Citrus is that you now in the tww? How is everyone else?

Anni Daisies, how are you feeling?

 

[happycupcake]

Aw Jessy! So pleased you have your 3+! Is your ticker adjusted? It's fab seeing the digi get to that. Things are clearly heading in the right direction
I will probably start the poas craziness Sunday.

Yes, Kim! Another impatient person here too lol

I'm... I can't remember... CD16 and 4-5dpo today. Fertility Friend decided to pinpoint ovulation today, but at CD13 which I don't believe is correct. I usually ovulate CD11 or CD12, and on the day or the day after my positive OPK. My sleeping pattern is usually whacky but CD13 when my temp dipped instead of increasing as I expected it to, I had quite a decent night's sleep, so since I was more rested I'm putting my lower temp down to this and the fact I'm pretty sure I had my mouth open (I don't usually but have done a handful of times this cycle for some reason). Also, right after ovulation and in line with increasing progesterone I usually experience a day on the toilet accompanied by a panic attack, and this also happens nearer the start of af when progesterone is starting to disappear, so this I'm assuming is triggered by the hormonal changes as it's like clockwork each cycle. All the symptoms and signs add up to ovulating CD11 or CD12, it doesn't make any sense for CD13 and the app is basing this from my temps. Anyway I did manual override because I'm sure it has it incorrect, but I will keep in mind it's possible it's right, though I think it's unlikely.
My chart...

Duster I hope your mum carries on improving and gets to go on her holiday, I'm sure that would do her good too. And exciting on the possible ib, I hope it is!

Sander, I can't really say that I had any symptoms this time round. I know I had some cramps at I'd guess 7/8 dpo, and I totally took them for period pains. The only other things I had were a metallic type taste in my mouth from probably 3 dpo until about 5 weeks pregnant. And the day I got my bfp on the way to work in the car I felt a tiny bit nauseous and had to have a chewing gum to stop the feeling. I was totally convinced it wasn't my month though, so anything else I would have dismissed as me imagining it!

Curious, I agree after bfn and when af appears it feels like forever till you can start trying again. You feel a bit lost like you're just waiting for time to pass by. Ttc isn't easy at all.

Glad you got your 3+ Jessy! I'm feeling ok thanks, just lingering nausea and not wanting to eat anything. I'm normally an animal where food is concerned, I'll be eating one meal and thinking of the next, but at the moment, next to nothing sounds good.

When are you going to test cupcake if you're 5 dpo now? Looking forward to seeing some more tests from you ladies.

Hope you're all ok.

 

[happycupcake]

Daisies, I am tempted to test today but there wouldn't be any point. I'm pretty sure I'm 4dpo, although 5dpo would likely be the most I would be. So I'm thinking Sunday, I should be at least 6dpo which is still stupidly early but the irrational part of my mind says "well, you could have ovulated CD10, as you usually see a dip at ovulation or the day before, so it's possible", although having a positive OPK after ovulation is less likely. Still isn't impossible, I have had a positive OPK on the day and the day after looking at my charts. But I have to keep reminding myself that these are unlikely scenarios and the chances of seeing a positive test that early anyway are minimal, even if I was a day ahead of what I think. I like to look at all sides of the argument with everything, whether it's ttc or something else

 

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

Duster, I'm so sorry! I forgot to do the symptoms by dpo!
1-3 dpo-I had slight cramping with my cervix high soft and simi open which confused me. I was starting to wonder if I tried to O again but didn't. I always get sore nipples the day of O and sore boobs immediately the next day but this didn't happen til finally at 3dpo. I also started to get headaches around 3dpo that continues to now.
4-6 dpo-massive cramps especially on my left overy area. Like literally to the point where dh and I were thinking ectopic pregnancy! But this settled down around 6dpo I also had a few bouts of nausea which I never get. I usually don't get ms at all with my pregnancies except the last one that ended badly last year.
7-8 dpo-I noticed that my boob's were MUCH more sore than usual and actually had soreness on the sides like under my arm pits. That was very unusual. I still have this today. I was also soooo sleepy from these days till now. Like I always have trouble sleeping but I was easily falling asleep and almost sleeping all day while the kids were at school which is not normal at all. I also started to get very hungry at this point and I literally haven't stopped eating yet lol
9-10 dpo-9dpo morning I noticed a slight second line but it was so faint I called it a bfn. That same day about 3pm when dd got home from school I took another one and she walked in the bathroom and said right away that there was a second line! There was and it's been getting darker since then. I woke up with cramping again yesterday at 10dpo.
11dpo today and I woke up with 3 acne spots on my face! 😱 I never get acne! So I'm hoping this is a sign it's a girl because the same thing happened with dd. IDK what else yet since its only 5:45am lol

Jessy, Yay for 3+! I'm so excited for you! I can't wait to find a digi and do one! I have two that say pregnant or not pregnant but I'm waiting to do those till this weekend or early next week since I don't think they are as sensitive as the tests I'm taking now. I can't wait to go looking for a week's estimator today! And it has been soooo hot here that I've been staying inside! I usually like the heat but it's been like 100 degrees here with massive humidity. It's awful lol

Happycupcake, I'm sorry I have no idea about charts but to me your chart looks great! Lol I'm so excited to see your tests!

Curious, I know exactly how you feel! I didn't O till cd31 this time! It's frustrating having to wait to O!

Daisies, I'm pleased to see you're doing well. Are you having any other symptoms besides ms and being off your food?

I just took another test then typed this. I'm going to take a picture now and post it.

 

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

I think you can see it better on the blury one but top is fmu bottom is last nights dried. Edited to add : Excuse the pen marks. Ds2 decided to draw a heart on my "picture box" lol even though it's a q-tip box and he has no idea what I'm taking pictures of haha

 

[happycupcake]

Ooo exciting! Definitely darker today, should dry darker too

I know the sore boobs thing, at the sides. This was a sign for me before in previous pregnancies and I had this with the cycle previous to my current cycle as well. Usually they are sore during my lp but they aren't usually sore at the sides as well, this has always been a sign for me

 

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

I didn't notice it with my previous pregnancies. I just knew my boob's were sore. This time it was so obvious. Like if dh would grab my boob's I would tell him to stop. Any other time I don't mind lol but they hurt so bad and still do.

I honestly can't believe how much darker it's getting so quick. I'm sure it'll be darker later today because my fmu sucks lol

 

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

Sooo can you ladies please help me figure out my due date? My lmp was April 14th but I'm 11dpo today. I can't figure it out with my cycles being so long and O'ing so late

Edit: I found it! I'm 3w5d and edd is February 4th!

 

[bassit25]

[happycupcake]

Yay! Was hoping to see you here soon so good you have a positive OPK too!

 

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

Hi Rics! Welcome!

Happycupcake, I kept trying to figure it out in my head but it just wasn't working haha! I finally found a website that calculates from O day so that's what I used. The other websites kept saying I am 6weeks today because of my lmp but I know that's not right because I know I O late lol so 3w5d sounds right to me. Although I would love to be 6 weeks already!

 

[dustergrl]

Welcome rics!

Yay Kim! DS is 2/2!

 

[JessyG]

I know what you mean kim mine was 5 days ahead because of my lmp but because i o on cd20 i knew i was only 3wks3days when i got my bfp.

Arg bit of a disaster my mum is away on holiday the day of my scan and she was gonna watch DD. She said she will cancel as its only going with her brother to his house in portugal but i dont let her cancel, she never goes on holiday so will be amazing for her. Nkw i need to find someone else or we take her with us but i really dont like that idea.

 

[JessyG]

Hi ricschick!

 

[JessyG]

Crisis avoided. I managed to change my scan date to 11th June so ill only be 7+2 but should still see if its a viable pregnancy right? Thats only just over 2 weeks!
