Anyone else counting down to April 1st?

[MolGold]

Hey girls,

I have been away last week as my father in law suffered a stroke. We have been in and out of the hospital all hours of the day and night during the past week. Just wanted to let you know I was thinking of you ladies.. FX for the elusive BFP !

 

[Mom2sam]

Welcome back sm was wandering what happened, glad your feeling better now & if i'm out this cycle i'l also be taking couple month out, have you tried vitex my first month on it & it brought ovulation forward by 5/6 days for me this cycle. I'm also worried about big gap my ds is 7!

Mummy how are you hun, did you get the doppler? Also wanted to ask is your bump showing yet? They say second pregnancies bump shows earlier

Molgold oh no hopefully he regains his health

 

[mummy_smurf2b]

Yea got my Doppler not had any luck with it yet though, I don't think there's a bump yet, still in same clothes. I know they say that but I didn't look pregnant with dd even after giving birth so not sure I do just wander if there was something up with my body cause I didn't produce milk or anything that pregnancy. I was sad not to get a bump and prey I do this time. I'm already thinkin about the pain of Labour lol

 

[Mom2sam]

I didn't get a bump til 20 weeks but was really slim then a size 8 bow i'm a 12 & have a lil bump without being pregnant lol labour pains arrgh will you be get an epi? Wat did you take for pain releif with dd? I think by time your in 3rd & heavy & fed up you'll be thinking just want this baby out. My sis was so mervous about labour again but nw in 3rd tri she saying she fed up & so teady for labour.

Today i'm so bloated & really gassy urgh i inow it's too early to symptom spot but wth i'l just do it for fun

Erm ignore my spelling errors lol

I didn't get chance for pain relief with dd by time I was in established Labour she was out in an hr we are a family of quick deliverers so this will no doubt b even quicker. It was really painful as it was back Labour n I didn't feel contractions just a constant pain.

 

[Mom2sam]

Oh yes i remember you sayinga out the quick labours. My sis who is pregnant said things have changed since over 2 years ago when she expecting her first. That she weekly midwife appointments towards end with her first & now every one every 3/4 weeks.

Well finally cd47 af showed up. Not feeling great right now, long car ride and just uncomfortable in general.

Ive accepted that making a baby isn't going to happen naturally for me and getting ready for ivf. I'm ready right now! But I told my husband we would give my body a good faith effort for six months. We are almost two months in and because of my wonky cycles I think he is realizing that my body doesn't work.

We both hoped it would. Especially hard this month.

So sorry to hear that are u thinking of going for ivf sooner then?

 

[Mom2sam]

So sorry to hear that Diddy, hopefully the ivf works first time round & you get your much awaited baby x

I'm the tiniest girl you can imagine.. size 0, barely even 100 lbs. I was 95 lbs at the start of my first and only pregnancy and I gained only 13 lbs, and the baby was born 6 lbs and 6.8 oz, 19.5 inches long! It's amazing the capacities of what our bodies can accomplish and do! I'm very underweight now though with a low BMI for my height, and it's just been lots of stress dealing with my baby daddy and his family, and in general just all the consumption of my energy taking care of my 3 yr old with not too much help from anyone else. And man.... little boys have soo much energy! I swear I thought boys would be easier than girls, but the only thing easy about them is that they're simple to get ready to get them out the door... you just throw a t-shirt on and some shorts and comb their hair. But boys are not content to be homebodies, they go stir-crazy at home if you don't have a big yard to play in or a pool, or something! They need to be in sports and taken to the park all the time or on outing... they like to be out and about always! They are not content to be at home reading or drawing, playing with dolls, and helping mom cook. And one other thing is... Dang can boys put it down and eat a lot! I swear I am having to go to the grocery store like every few days because this boy of mine wants to eat so soo much! Girls are definitely not like that! I already got rid of my Audi because it was driving a hole in my pocket maintaining it and spending on gas/oil, and parts... etc. I have a Nissan Versa sedan now which was my sacrifice in being able to continue to afford this boy of mine's appetite! lol Anyways, about "pregnancy bumps"... I already felt my uterus hardening into a ball and tightening and contracting with braxton hicks as early as 9/10 weeks. The doctor had said it was normal to start occurring this early and it was the uterus form of "practicing" for labor/birth already. I could already see the difference and my 'bump' when I was 9-12 weeks. I looked bloated. By 5 months, it looked like I'd eaten a big lunch and a beer to go along with it, and hadn't digested it, but no one else could tell I was pregnant. At 6/7 months I really started to pop, but I still think I could have hid the pregnancy up until 5 months. It's harder for skinny petite girls to hide things from showing though for sure.

 

[sirouseman]

Tnx mom2sam, it's good to be back on here! Told you gals I'd be back I'm so happy we all have each other on here and been coming back to this same post as our "meeting spot" Diddy, this cycle I'm having I think may go into the 38 days range! But last one was normal 32 days... I think I will be starting fertilaid and cassava root, but I have had a lot of success with Maca as well... I wonder what would happen if I used Cassava AND Maca root what would happen lol!?! Our friends own one of the top Maca companies called SOL RAIZ, and I have prepared to give them all of my research of fertility charts (some showing the use of Maca and some without Maca)... it's a goldmine of information to give them because their company does not have scientific proof that physically shows the hormones being balanced and cycles being naturally pushed into 28-day range because of their product's power! So, I'm excited to put this out there for women to know it truly works! If you are interested in buying this top of the line Maca, I think if you say "Sheila" referred you and call their hotline/contact number... the owner may give you a slight discount Please try it... I'm not trying to sell it, but I really feel it works. I also put it in all my smoothies and bake with it. Cassava and Maca hyperstimulate the ovaries and work almost the same as Clomid!! Shoot, I'd probably get more than what I asked for and end up with triplets... that might not be a good thing. I only want one more!

 

[Mom2sam]

Sm boys definitely are more active but mine loves baking etc & doing arts & crafts at home too, he loves swimming, playing sports in park & going out to cinemas & kiddy play gyms etc, only thing he hates is shopping of any kind if i take him with me he'l just moan until we get in car, worse when i take him & his dad they both will be playing chase or hide & seek or just acting goody & i hv to keep telling them we're not in a playground dh is a big kid when it comes to being around kids & beleives in making every outing fun even if it's just at grocery store. but i think ppl are watching to which they both call me boring so most of time it's usually quicker & less emberassing going shopping alone. i keep saying i want a girl who can do girly things with me & they both want another boy lol i too think girls are easier esp at my age i cant kp up with boys & sometimes want to just sit & paint nails etc or go clothes shopping & have someone get just as excited as me over shoes & handbags lol but i'l be happy with whatever i have as love my boys (one of thm being dh ofcourse) to bits they kp me on my toes but love every min of it.
Sm is maca to regulate long cycles then. At moment taking vitex but was thinking if i dont conceive with it after 3 cycles might try soy isoflavones it's aken like you would take clomid & seen alot of success stories with it if that doesn't wrk will look into maca.

Hey ladies,

Glad to see you're back SM.
Fx'd for you Mom When are you going to start testing?
Molgold I hope that your father in law recovers 100%
Diddy I hate that the Fertilaid didn't work for you.
Mummy are you having any weird cravings or anything yet?

Dh and I haven't gotten any BD in here lately. I've just entered into my fertile window. So maybe we'll get to soon

 

[mummy_smurf2b]

Nope no cravings just annoyingly unable to find some breakfast I can eat without lookin at n thinkin don't want that. Only way I get breakfast at the moment is by havin crisps or somethin like that lol fx you catch the egg this time mzhwd

 

[Mom2sam]

Hi good morning ladies

Mzwid i am 7dpo today will be testing Monday i think 9dpo if i dont cave in by then but dont think i'd see anything before that so trying not to. Had some cramping yesterday & early hours of this morning got sharp pain & cramps needed toilet so went for a pee & wiped after & was dark brown bit of blood mixed in cm. dunno if it means anything but too early for pre af spotting & haven't dtd for 5 days so cant be from irritated cervix. Nothing since & nothing on underwear

 

[mummy_smurf2b]

Fx mom2sam want to see your bfp soon

 

[Mom2sam]

Thanks mummy i'l keep tou all posted when i test x

 

[mummy_smurf2b]

You all got me thinking other day about bumps - been checking since lol and today I think I see the start of one because before I put my jeans on I could see a little bump under my t-shirt meaning the t-shirt was making it show. My pants just push it in and hide it lol il try get a pic later and upload it I'm feeling excited about it really want a bump this time. Baby been naughty today keep makin me feel sick I got it like this with dd but it only came around 18weeks along and I was never sick hopefully I'm not this time either and it passes before the holiday in Oct which it should as only lasted few week with dd. 8week til our hol yipee!

The girl who joined this thread a while back (samanthatc) got her bfp today

 

[Mom2sam]

Yay can't wait for bump pic! I don't rember samantha on this thread but seen her on another testing thread i joined i love seeing bfp gives me hope.

 

[mummy_smurf2b]

Lol it's so hard taking a pic of yourself especially with a phone, any good ideas how to do it?

Mom2sam u will get your bfp I know you will hopefully just like I did after taking the agnus castus. I tried the soy isoflavones and don't rate them myself they did nothing for me. Macca on the other hand is ment to regulate cycles and increase your sex drive which I can relate to as naughtily took it along side the agnus castus hehe.
