7dpo symptoms

[EMandPATRICK]

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!!!

Well, I guess I'm still eligible for a BFP being that AF hasn't showed. But I have been having AF cramps on and off for about 3 days. Every night I go to bed wearing a pad (normally a tampon user) because I think it will be here by the morning... but nothing! Aside from the on and off cramping, the BFN are letting me know to expect that witch any day.

You know, I'm sure a lot of women would want to get a hold of that journal/book when you are done. It's going to be one amazing success story

You say that your next cycle will start in 3 weeks... is that what the doctors are expecting? I would THINK that with the removal of the balloon, it might bring on your AF. I'm going to keep my fingers crossed for you that it arrives sooner than that, the wait must be excruciating!

As for O-ing before your DH... be proud of that! My DH can manage that 3 out of 5 times, the remaining 2 being that my O is nowhere in sight

I'm sorry that you are still laid up, and can't be a part of your DH's birthday outing. That really sucks...and I can't say anything to make you feel better about it. But as for you marrying an older man, we have something in common! There isn't a big difference, but I'm 26 and DH is 30.

Ughhh... I want a BFP so bad. I have no children (besides pets), and I watch The Baby Story. Is that pathetic?

 

[Afamilygal]

no, not at all. truthfully, Im not sure what it is, a tv show? I'm sure if I watched it I would get addicted. I just started pretty little liars and now I cant stop! aherm... thats what happens when you lay on your back for long stretches of time... you watch a LOT of tv.
Im 28 so we are pretty close in age! right on...

thanks for the encouraging words on the book/journal. I suck at writing but hey- it keeps me busy and can be very therapeutic.

Doctors say that AF will start after I finish meds. Im on estrogen right now and then 8 days of provera. That should do the trick.
Im going to be one happy lady when I get the stupid thing out. throw myself a "thank god my balloon is out of my uterus" party! you are invited of course

I want that baby too. its crazy how consuming it is isnt it? I never thought I could be so crazy about something/want something so bad. I have a dog too (fur baby) shes a keeper.

I tried visualizing being a mom last night and it made me cry... (note to self- when taking lots of estrogen- be aware of weepy nature)

I hope your cramping is good cramping and not bad cramping. you must be going crazy! I know how totally nutty it can make you... believe it or not in my cycles, my period is never ever late. only early... It just LOVES showing up... uninvited of course.
but late AFs are good cause it means you have a longer LP and that is a very good thing... think of it like that- more time for baby to get nestled in.

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?

jeez! that's really high! you are either with child or maybe getting ill? hopefully just preggers! 3yrs is a long time. I'm losing my mind after 15 months... GL!

Honestly it hasn't felt that long might be because of all the therapies and husbands deployments etc but as I said this is it boo pregnancy this months and we gonna start mess and iui

I will bring the party hats and cake to said party A Baby Story is about pregnant moms, and it tapes them during the end of pregnancy and all of delivery (whichever route they take). Then they return after a couple weeks to see how they are adjusting to the new addition. They usually always have more than one kid. I like it, but on certain days it really bums me out.

I visualize being a mom sometimes too. Sometimes I cry, and others my pulse jumps and I get anxious! As much as we want to be parents, I have a feeling that if/when I get that BFP I'm going to be a nervous wreck!!!

Period is still not here , and I'm going crazy. Took another 10miu test and an OPK this morning. HCG was of course negative, and OPK has a light line- also considered negative. Normally I would think the lack of a period might be good sign and that I still had a shot, but I don't. DH and I BD on the 2nd, 4th (ovulation was supposed to be on the 5th or 6th), 6th, 7th, and 11th...then with our schedules being so messed up, we took like a 5day break. So I don't think we have a shot anymore. Last night I was crampy, and had a lot of gas pressure that kept me a wake(sorry TMI). I was soo sure that I was going to wake up to AF, now this morning I feel normal. Not like she's coming. Any ideas what I can do? LOL I let my DH try to bring it on yesterday...fail, but I enjoyed it.


So how are you feeling today??

 

[Afamilygal]

Hello dearie! Doing good! Slept well and woke up on the right side of the bed (literally DH is sleeping guest room since I have a lot going on with the balloon- I LOVE sleeping alone, isn't that terrible?!
Got anything fun planned for today?

A for your af, I just don't know. Could you have O'd later than you thought originally?

Also, I'm going to try to TiVo that show! sounds good!

I'm going to be a wreck too. Especially after the mc... It was at 11 weeks so I'm to be walking on eggshells I'm sure...

My past mc is what brings on the feeling that I have to pee on a stick everyday. I want to see a line, and watch it progress. It's awful!!

There is nothing wrong with liking sleeping alone. I think I would love it too! DH is actually upgrading our queen size bed, to a king because my dog(Joey) likes to hog the bed. Ever since he was a puppy, he has this need to sleep with me. I know that I don't help the situation either lol. He's a lab/boxer mix.. so its like having a 75lbs person in the bed with us!!!

As for ovulating later, I don't think so. I had a +OPK around the time that I was scheduled to O, but who knows. I think it's just stress. Every time I think about it being late, it might set me back even more lol.

I just got in from shoveling.. gotta love NY, and now I have to jump in the shower and get ready for the day. DH and I are attending a fundraiser for a guy that was just diagnosed with leukemia. - Can't wait until tomorrow, I'm a football girl

What about you? Any good shows on that you plan on watching?

 

[EMandPATRICK]

Yay!!! AF came!!!!!!! In the middle of the fundraiser, thank god I was prepared!!! Finally, Laine... Today marks the start of the cycle. Commence the countdown!

 

[EMandPATRICK]

testing out updated ticker

 

[Afamilygal]

Yay! Cycle 3! Right? This is going to be it Em! You can do it!
And I've decided to try to enjoy ttc and try not to obsess. I forget that once there's a baby, we won't have all the freedom, time etc. don't get me wrong, I'm ready for it but I can still enjoy this time being just the 2 of us. ( and our doggie- also a big one! I love big dogs too.) ours is a German Shepard/ Rottweiler mix. Shes a big softie. Scared of her own shadow!!

So horray for you to begin countdown, will you try charting this month?
Your new bed sounds wonderful, we have yet to upgrade to a king... Sigh! Hopefully soon, it's cramped in there!

I get the balloon out this Thursday at 1 30. I am SO excited!! I'm going to go on a big bike ride when it's out! Plus we will talk to the d and make a proper ttc plan for the next few months. Whoop whoop!

Btw, when in your cycle do you O? Are you quite regular?

The charting thing really confuses me... that means temping right? I think I would obsess over it too much Like you said you want to try to enjoy TTC. We want that too. The more I obsess, the more pressure I put on myself and DH. This cycle we are going back to BDing everyday, which shouldn't be too difficult. I tend to wake him up in the middle of the night at least once a month- to this day, I honestly don't know if he fully wakes up for it.

Thursday!!! Yayyyy!!! I'm so excited for you! Once they remove it, does the soreness continue? How do they remove it? Is it considered another surgery? Haha enjoy that bike ride for me, our streets are covered in snow- the best I got is the exercise bike in the basement!!!

My cycle is pretty regular. That's why it was so shocking that I was late. Ovulation should occur on the 3th-4th. Now I have to figure out how to update my ticker in my signature!

 

[Afamilygal]

Hiya! charting can be confusing. It takes a while to get used to. You are right that it definitely adds a new factor in so I cant blame you wanted to keep it as simple as possible. At this stage, I feel like I can't afford to be relaxed- isnt that sad/crazy?
I tried not temping, and I was so stressed about not knowing for certain if I ovulated- so I figure if I am going to worry/be a nut no matter what I might as well.
NUTS.

I can't wait for Thursday. Im counting down the minutes!! only 3 full days left!! EEK! It wont hurt once it is out, maybe a little cramping/soreness but as long as it is out, I can manage. it is filled with a fluid so he will release the fluid and then pull it out. Its a little uncomfortable but not terrible at all. It's a bit yucky though... imagine that it is gross for the Dr... poor guy, he has to do a lot of yucky stuff.

SO! not too long for you til O I guess? when is it? around cd14ish? so you'll bd everyday from what day til what day? It can get so tiring to do it every day, I admire your stamina! we tried that for a while but my dr told me not to. something about letting the swimmers build up? I don't know- I think it is different for everyone- depends on the dude, right?
DH's SA came back totally normal- very strong swimmers, etc which is GREAT but then I'm like "AHhh great, so its all me..." I'm totally kidding. Im really grateful thats not another issue we have to deal with on top of all my stuff.
he's just a bit smug about it.

so you have a lot of snow? its downright warm here right now. I do like the snow though. we go to Co every winter and it is so nice and cozy... but the warm is much better for biking this is true! I will enjoy it for the both of us.

Im going CRAZY trying to figure out what to do about whether or not to try the injections and IUI... or try natural a bit longer... Its all so much to decide, I'm feeling very overwhelmed. read a terrifying article in the NYtimes about IUI and multiples. scared the pants off of me...

hoping Dr's visit sheds light on it and doesn't confuse me even more. DH is so adamant about trying naturally. I get where he is coming from but im reaching the end of my rope you know? he just cant understand what this is like for me. What I've had to go through- there's only so much a gal can take.
There are so many women on here who have tried for so hard for SO long and it is just so heartbreaking... I feel so much for every woman on this forum. men just don't get it... I know that they cant but still- it would be nice if they could.

ai yai yai. Im RAMBLING sorry lady. hope you are having a lovely day!!! enjoying your Sunday?

Alright.. before I lose my mind, I have to get this off my chest. A girl I went to school with, and still talk to today... found out she was pregnant about 3 months ago. I was very happy for her. Now we have had a named picked out if we were to have a girl for over a year. however DH and I had a miscarriage at the hospital in February. We liked the name so much, we were going to try again to have a little Lucy. She knew this.. and JUST announced that she is naming her daughter Lucy. I want to cry. That was our name!!


Ok. I don't even think that makes sense.. but I'm going to leave it as if it were "angry writting".

You are almost there!!!! Thursday isn't far away!! I can completely understand your side when you say that you want to talk to the Dr. and get some assistance to conceive right away. But I kinda get where your husband is coming from (not really)... more like maybe the first 2 months should be TTC naturally- in that time, your body will be done healing from the surgery. Ughhh.. I don't even know. Because as I type that, I don't think I would want to TTC naturally after everything you've been through.

I've been noticing that we are almost the only ones that write on this thread anymore- do you have facebook?

As for snow- right now we only have about 4 inches. It's warming up today, so the most of it will be gone. Then I'm sure we will get a blizzard. Ahh winter.

He gets tired of BDing everyday before I do. haha but when im done ovulating he misses it! I just want it to happen. I would like to not have my period again for 9 months...that would be a plus!

 

[BabyBumpHope]

Sorry ive not posted in a while girls!! Am i forgiven?!

EmandPatrick - that would really boil my piss! (pardon the expression). I hate it when people do things like that!! If i were you i'd still call your lil girl Lucy too - after all its the name you and your DH have already picked out. Stuff your 'friend'!

Ya know.. it really does piss me off. I'm past being sad about it, now I'm just mad. It will pass- I know. The problem is that I live in a smaller town. With her naming her daughter Lucy, that makes 2 little girls that I know of named Lucy. DH and I are trying to feel better about it- and coming up with other names. We did have a backup girl name- Amelia. (I used to LOVE Amelia Bedelia books when I was a kid). I've always told my husband he was going to give me girls first. Just something I feel when I look at him. 2 girls, then a boy. He fights me on it, and say he will be having boys, with 1 girl. Doesn't matter to me.. just want healthy. So... we aren't pregnant yet, but here are our names-

Boy:
Finley, Finnegan, Liam (we're irish.. and he wants to have a not-so-common name)

Girl:
Amelia, Cassidy, Charlotte, Anabel

None of those feels right like Lucy did. Ah well.. we have time!!!


And of course you may be forgiven!!! I am on FB more than this (it goes to my phone).. so if anyone has facebook, and they want to talk on private messages let me know!

 

[BabyBumpHope]

Those names are lovely em

We have some names picked out too but they are top secret! haha. Don't ask why, me and DH said it would be our little secret until the LO was born (hoping that we get a BFP first - dont want to think too far ahead)

I used to love Finlay ever since Finlay Quaye the singer was around. I love Finn for short! Dont think DH is as keen on it though

[anorak]

6 days DPO. I have cramping on both sides, sometimes just one at a time, sometimes both at the same time. Lotion type CM and Breasts feel heavy. I went for a run today and I could feel the weight of them! I have big boobs anyway, but they seem to be blobbing out of my bra!

EDIT: I have also noticed an odd taste in my mouth and my sense of smell seems odd...

 

[anorak]

The cramping is a little bit at the front now. I don't usually get pre AF symptoms apart from sore boobs. Not getting my hopes up though.... I must also admit that the gas is here too!!!

 

[BabyBumpHope]

Anorak - good luck!

I've just brushed my teeth and my gums bled

Oh no, does that mean possible AF?

I'm not too sure to be honest. I've read somewhere that it cab be a symptom of pregnancy but don't know if it would be this early on?
