7dpo symptoms

[snsvocals]

Hey Ladies!

Im sorry I have not been on in a few days--actually I had this LONG message typed out for you all and for some reason it didnt post!!! I was sooo mad!!

I hope you all are doing wonderful!

I wanted to ask you ladies a question. Have you ever tried this: (It may be TMI--but I am hoping it will help)
After DH finishes his thing, ha!, and we tend to lay there for as long as possible, or with our hips tilted, etc. have you ever tried this: I had heard that after DH finishes for the woman to continue laying there and make sure to give herself an orgasm. ( They say that the orgasm helps the sperm to get to there it needs to go with the muscles contracting)
Sooo, my question is...has anyone tried this?? And, I dont mean just for one cycle--I mean everyday during O and for at least 4 cycles.

The reason I am asking this is because this is what we did, and this morning we got a BFP! We are so excited but I just feel terrible posting this!!! I cant imagine how hard its been for you girls and I am so sorry--so I wanted to share with you my experience and hope that maybe it works for one of you, if not all of you!!


I will tell you--that each time we were ttc, this is what I did and EVERY time we got pregnant!!! So- ya never know??? Its worth a try!!!

So, let me know what you all think and if youve tried this method, consistently. Also, I know they say to BD every other day--but we BD EVERY DAY!! It cant hurt!!! And I make sure to Orgasm after everytime!!! This was our 2nd month ttc and the first month I didnt do this trick..this month--i did!
So, please just at least, try it. I WANT UPDATES TOO!!!!!!

I wish you all the BEST of luck and I HOPE THIS BEAN STIX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am trying not to get too excited though!

For me... it's not TMI. We don't really "know" each other so there is no embarrassment factor, and to me.. this feels more like a diary that answers back. Anyways.. more importantly... CONGRATULATIONS!!! You better keep us posted!!! (Ultrasounds and doctors appointments)

As for the process of BDing, , we try to finish at the same time. Which, as every women will tell you isn't always possible. Now.. question. When you say that after he is done, you both tilt your hips? LIKKKEEEE... he remains in your "happy zone"? Haha I'm sorry, I try to make light of this conversation in case someone else reading it is offended. The reason I ask is because we don't typically stay attached (lack of a better word) for longer than a minute. However, I remain still in a laying position for about 15 mins. Even after that it feels like I'm wetting myself when I stand up (BLAH!). I understand that my body can't take in/absorb a lot and that gravity will always win.. but does anyone have any suggestions to make that waterfall more comfortable? I have resorted to keeping hand towels (colored so they don't get confused with the ones we use for cleanliness) in my nightstand and using it as a pad for 30-45 mins. I gotta tell you, I dread that part.

This past cycle we BD every other day, result BFN. Last cycle we BD every day.. and we did have that BFP- but it ended in a chemical.

Anyways... again.. HUGE congratulations!

I use thin liners, you could try soft cups. I haven't tried these yet but have heard good things.

 

[Afamilygal]

wow congrats sns vocals!!! great news- H&H 9 months!!
we have done the orgasm trick. (several times) it sort of made sense to me that it would help- DH thinks it is odd but hey, Ill try anything. It hasnt worked for me...
but then again, I have my fair share of issues which could be more attributing to the none baby situation as much as anything else. (which is my guess)

as for what to do when it is over, I have DH hike some pillows under me and I put my legs up on the wall and let gravity keep everything 'inside' and headed downhill rather than out.

some still comes out but what can you do. I lay there for 20-30 minutes than get up and run to bathroom! (we have tissues by the bed)

it isnt an exact science but whatever. as for soft cups, bought some and have tried them many times and I cannot, I repeat I cannot get them to work on me. no idea why. I have read SO many things on how to use them and it just doesnt work for me.
I dont really mind since I think its a little gross to walk around with semen inside for hours at a time. not sure why that more than other things grosses me out... plus Im not sure it can honestly do anything. the egg and semen need to meet in the fallopian tubes... thats a ways away.

by the way, Em- your comment about the answering diary- loved it, laughed hard.

 

[snsvocals]

Thanks Ladies!!! We are really excited but I am of course, nervous too. I am more of the ' planner' and 'control freak'! He isnt! Ha!

Em- I think I had a typo when I said we both keep our hips tilted--haha! No that is not the case. Lol! I was just talking about the things we women do after BD to keep everything inside.

As for keeping as much in as possible--I am not really sure. I feel like sooo much leaves my body afterward and it always made me feel like nothing was even left to attach to the egg!!!! But I guess I was wrong.
Em- if you got a BFP last month with BD every day--I would DEF. try that again!!! And also just try to give yourself an orgasm after DH finishes, each time. See if this works?? I HAVE MY FX FOR YOU BIG TIME!!!
ALL OF YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

I do have a question too that I wanted to see what you all thought about.

Last month--I bled twice in one month- the first time was my reg. AF and then about 2 weeks later (The exact date that I was supposed to Ov) I started bleeding again!!! Which is soooo not normal for me!!!!
So then this month--a few weeks later, I take a test at 8 DPO and the test line came up VERY QUICKLY as positive and VERY dark!! Like, darker than the control line!!! Is this normal? I am wondering if I could be farther along than I thought since this was the first test I took?? I tried to do a little research online but everyone who got aBFP at 8 DPO, the test line was really light---and then a few said they were pregnant with twins!!!! Ahhh! So, I am not really sure??? I just wanted to see if maybe any of you had any thoughts on this??

I will definitely keep you all updated! I promise!!! Bc of the two MC in the past, I dont want to get too excited! ya know??

I also had Hyperemesis in my last 2 pregnancies so PLEASE keep your FX that it somehow doesnt happen in this pregnancy!!!!!

LOTS AND LOTS OF BABY DUST TO ALLLLLLLL OF YOU WONDERFUL LADIES!!!!!

Steph - thanks for posting all your info.

As for the orgasm after BD thing - we do this. We've only started this cycle though so I'm hoping it makes a difference. We've started using conceive plus too.

Fingers crossed for everyone...

Hey there!

Its wonderful to have a place to be able to post my info to and not feel crazy!! Haha! So THANK YOU!

You said that you just started the orgasm thing this cycle? When did you Ov? How many DPO are you?? PLEASE keep us posted!! I have my FX for you that this cycle takes and it works for you like it does me!!!!

Have a great day!!

Thanks again!

Steph xoxo

I'm 4dpo today so hoping to test around the 28th if AF stays away

[EMandPATRICK]

Steph .. try not to worry so much. I'm sure this is going to be a healthy normal pregnancy. Have you tried taking a digital with conception indicator? Maybe it will help


Laine.. I will be starting my period tomorrow, it's about 4-5 days long. So I'm looking to ovulate around 2/1-2/2. Do you know when you will be ovulating next? Is it safe for you and DH to TTC next month? It would be nice to be in the TWW with you

As for a comment made earlier- My DH birthday is August 12th, and mine is October 9th... we were actually hoping that if we were to conceive; the birth would be around our birthdays. That way we could take a vacation as a family to celebrate. I wouldn't look forward to being HUGE in the hot months, but I would do it for a bundle of BABY

Aww thanks em

I'm really nervous this time round as its my first 2WW using conceive plus. I've heard alot of people have got their BFP the first month using it! Hopefully itll be first time lucky for us too

Good luck to you too - you arnt out til the witch shows. Some people just get later BFPs

I am currently in the TWW either 9dpo or 11 dpo. My temps dont really agree with my +opk but then again i was on soy iso so it probably effected my pre-o temps. Yesterday I had a little tiny bit of brown cm which would have been 8 or 10 dpo. Other symptoms are sore/swollen boobs, sensitive nips and slight cramps/pressure. I am having less symptoms then other negative months lol. AF is due in either 3 or 5 days

I have noticed that when i elevate my hips after BD for about 20-30min a lot less comes out then if i were to just get out of bed but that only works around O time. So hopefully that means that the goods are getting into my uterus

 

[Rebandy11]

Cramps started this afternoon, I have been having them for 3 hrs now. They feel like AF cramps but not as intense. I don't think it is AF tho cause it's still too early.

It might be a good sign... I hope that it is!

Hm... Do you temp? Without charting you may have to wait until a u/s to find out. 2nd bleed could have been o bleeding maybe? Very odd...

I have a friend who gets dark hpts really fast, she had first+ at 6dpo and dark by 8 dpo so... Who knows!
You could have implanted 4/5 dpo easily.

Yes. Sounds good!

So where all you kids at now? Em- my next cycle should start 2nd week in feb so O mid to late feb... But I have been known to O really late so who knows! Maybe I'll catch up. But, You should be 1 wk into 2ww when I start cycle so hopefully you'll catch the bean and we will never cycle together. I hope if you do you'll stick around to root me on.. ?

Started reading book called bump and grind. It's hilarious ttc goodness.mi recommend it!

Hi ladies, new to this site and thought I say HI.
Quick version of my story
-ttc for 3 yrs
-have a 4 yr old autistic son
-this is our last month of trying the natural way, next months its.clomid, trigger shot and iii

That's sums it up, I wont bore you w
ith the details, however I have a few symptoms I wanna run by y'all
I'm 7 dpo, sore breasts, frequent urination, little crampy, here and there, the last couple of days my temp was about 98.2 and today its 99.1.......
Soooooooo lol now I'm looking for some input... anyone?

You are crazy! There is no "hoping" when it comes to me sticking around. This thread has pretty much become my lifeline. As sad as it is. DH and I were talking about it last night before we fell asleep, and a lot was said. With him starting school again (he's an engineer, now he company is paying for him to finish his masters), and his work opening up overtime... we haven't had a real good display of feelings in a couple weeks. When I say display of feelings, I only mean talking, hehe we do plenty of BDing. I brought up this website, and he said that he's happy that I have someone/somewhere to turn to when I need to vent. Anyways, to make an even longer story shorter... I'm not going anywhere Laine!

UPDATE- still no AF, I was due yesterday. Still BFN.. I just want to start my cycle, so this is CRAP.

How are you feeling? Are you still experiencing pain? Have you started the count down to when it's removed???PS- the later my period is, the more likely we could be in the TWW together. Although, I'm kinda hoping it comes sooner rather than later... no offense

Bump and Grind huh??? I'm going to have to see if I can get that on my Kindle. Always looking for a good laugh

 

[Afamilygal]

I hope AF comes soon for you too (or a BFP preferably) you know, I have heard it can take some women a while for it to show up... (A BFP that is) do you think there is still a chance??

balloon is out in a week- YAY! You know- I haven't left the house since the surgery- it is making me super crazy!!! sitting up hurts really bad and I have to be on the pain killers around the clock so I can drive myself anywhere.
feel awful for poor DH. Its his bday today... he is going out with his friends tomorrow without me. This whole thing is making life really difficult... plus he is now 38 and really feeling the pressure to get on with it... poor guy married a younger woman and he gets an old barren lady...
just kidding. (hopefully! )

that book is written by a New Zealand lady. I had to buy it from the UK on amazon.
I started writing a book about this a few months ago and was interested to see what someone else had to say.
and BTW, I use the term 'writing a book' very loosely. its more of a journal that I'm hoping I can turn into something useful someday for other women who go through the brutality that is TTC.

I love this forum too. this is my favorite thread. DH worried that I am too obsessed with TTC and this forum makes that worse but I tried to explain that I have no one to talk to about all this stuff and it helps to have friends. not just helps, its a total lifeline.
This stuff is way to hard to do alone. I'm glad you will stick around.

so anyhoo, balloon out in 1 week and we'll talk to the DR about our 'options' I hope we can try something new... Im fresh out of ideas...
except the orgasm idea. I normally O before he does (tmiiiii) and apparently that is bad, it should be at the same time or right after. will try that next time

I still have 3 weeks til I get AF, how am I going to make it? I'm ready to get a move on! Im hoping I can try clomid or femara next cycle in. Hopefully I will O at a reasonable time and that BPF, I am READY. Here's to hoping!!
go team baby!!!
