I take a lot of naps. It's been hard but it'll be worth it. On the bright side I sleep great at night! haha

Benadryl has such a nasty effect on me. If I take one I will be sooo out of it. I'll pass out for hours and wake up disoriented. I won't even drive if I've taken benadryl, I'd probably get a DUI lol.

And just to add to the convo above, the baby aspirin thing is often recommended to women who have clotting disorders to prevent miscarriage. Taking it can increase blood flow to the baby. There's some evidence (although not yet supported by scientific study) that aspirin may increase blood flow to the uterus and ovaries, helping with ovulation and making implantation easier. It shouldn't be taken once you're pregnant unless a dr specifically tells you to based on a history of miscarriages.

I'm craving lemon like crazy and drinking lots of water, Some headaches, snotty and creamy cm, cramps and twinges. my boobs don't hurt (which is a symptom for me as they always hurt). I had a temp dip and a rise today (it was at 7dpo), Nauseous, My leg went numb and randomly stopped working yesterday in the middle of walking, Of course all these things are probably nothing but my 'symptoms' are a lot less this cycle than they were last cycle.

Got everything crossed for you hun! Sometimes I wonder, if we were not TTC would we notice all these signs if we just fell pregnant? I guess not but it sure helps to pass the time!! Well it does for me anyway! Xx
We have just been to sign the contract for our new home as the one we are in now is not really big enough for three of us, exciting and will be a good distraction. Would be fab to get a BFP this month too xx

 

[Helena_]

congrats on the new home! Hopefully you'll get to start a nursery soon!

 

[sally88]

That would be just a dream come true!!!! Cmon ladies BFP for us all!!!

Hello Everyone

I'm taking baby aspirin to try and help implantation, anyone have any other tips?

Thank you

Baby aspirin helps with implantation? How so?

I read that it makes the uterine lining fluffier, easier for the egg to properly implant. Don't know if it is true, but I will try anything

The fertility doc said no NSAIDs (aspirin) or Ibuprofen in the 2ww. I know they say a lot of things so you just have to feel your way. The reason on the NSAIDs makes sense for both. NSAIDs cause bleeding so I see how a small dose could make a "fluffy" lining, but it could also make the lining not "hold" the embryo well.

Hi Ladies,
I am in the same time frame. Going to try not to test until Jan 27th. I can't bear to do it on a day when I have to work the next day. This is our first cycle with IUI. DH's are no so great (low count, low motility, and poor morphology ) so not super hopeful.

I have had symptoms this month that I have never had in my life. Mainly, I had some strange cramps Tuesday night--in one exact spot like ovulation, but 4-5 DPO. Then, on Wednesday at at work, I have a very sharp twinge in that same spot. Nothing today except extreme tiredness. Probably from stressing over this so much.

GL everyone. I think with your support, I can hold off on testing too early. It would be awesome if even 1 person in this group had a this month!

one of us NEEDS to get a bfp

i too have been crazy symptom spotting. but this is my first month trying. im 8dpiui. going loopy here. ive been off work so i have nothing else to think about. fingers crossed for everyone

I'm only 4 DPO... AF scheduled to arrive on the 24th (8 DPO) This is the first cycle I was using OPKs and temping everyday, as the past two years we were NTNP (wanted to let it happen when it was suppose to, but that isn't working).

Only symptoms I notice are a slight headache, slight nausea, and feels like I'm starting to catch a cold.

I hope everyone is doing well, I'm trying to keep my mind occupied with naps and crocheting. Best Wishes to y'all

Awwww, lastnight when we went to bed hubby said to me, next month we need to start trying harder for a baby, how cute, its not very often you hear of the man saying those things. It made me mega smile!
Fingers crossed we won't bt ttc next month tho! Xxx

 

[DrgnFly521]

My hubby was thinking the "God will decide" method would work too. Although I had to tell him....ya gotta have HUMAN effort here to babe. LOL
So...this past month he has been more, um, responsive. Hee hee.
I have had the pinching and pressure since about 6 dpo...I am 10 dpo today. No sign of AF yet...I sure hope she stays away!
More hopes to yall for a !!
I sure hope I get one too!

OH said that to me this month too. So I talked to him more about when I was ovulating and we used preseed and talked about it more and it turned out to be a totally bad idea. Ended up putting way too much pressure on him and now he's worried if he can't giveme another baby I'll leave him which is clearly crazy but it's a lot of pressure on men, us women are just strong enough to handle it lol

Been feeling out. Just want af to hurry up already

When my husband was leaving for work, he kissed me and said " I love you and the baby." He's totally convinced I am pg.

[sally88]

Awww how cute!!! My little update, all day today I have had like a cramping pinching sort of pain way low down it hard to explain nothing like af cramps, surely is too early for anything at 6po? Xx

Busymomma, sometimes I worry about putting to much pressure on hubby, now I don't tell him when I'm ovulating to help him relax more xx
