anyone looking to buddy?

[ms sunshine]

lol i know im driving myself nuts... this morning i noticed a tiny spot though but my underwear was brown but the cm for the rest of the day even first thing this morning was perfectly clear so bit weird. even when i was on red clover and my cycles were longer af would have started today so even if i o'd later than i think im def late. im going to give it a week so if anything happens at least i dont know for sure... tbh i think i am pg. back ache and cramps have completely gone

 

[Holliems]

You're torturing me by not testing Looking at your chart and the fact that you're late I think you're pregnant too. I'd be surprised if you weren't!

 

[ms sunshine]

Yeah still late but cant tell if ive spotted some more brown cm when i wipe its clear but looks slightly brown on underwear... Giing to test as soon as theres no more spotting. Got a feeling since its brown it old blood from implantation but i also brown spot before af. Just wish id have bought opks so i knew when i o'd lol

 

[Holliems]

The odds are definitely in your favor at the moment. If it were me, I would be itching to test. I'm excited to find out the results! I'm still waiting to O. DH comes home tomorrow. I haven't taken an OPK yet today. I'm hoping I get a negative. We will be cutting it close this cycle. To be honest, I'm still on the fence about having another kid. If DH already had children I probably wouldn't want another. I'd love to see him as a daddy though and I bet he'd make a pretty one! Do you think you'll test before the weekend? How long have you guys been trying?

 

[ms sunshine]

We started trying in march i think and in may i got a faint line that diseapeared didnt really know what a chemical was until then tbh. Sort of why im a bit cautious id only be 4 and a half weeks. Probably wont this weekend as i had another brown spot this morning. Cant figure out why as rest of the day is normal but its th e same first thing every morning. A bit of me cant believe it would happen twice last time it took over year think it was about 15 months.

I think if you stop broodyness will hit lol i thought about taking a few months off but realised i couldnt do it. No 2 will be our last though as hubby is 40 and says he wouldnt be able to cope with the night feeds if it was left much longer lol how long have you got left until you o?

 

[Holliems]

My DH is younger than I am and thinks we have all the time in the world to have a baby. Ive told him that we have to be proactive at my age, but he says he's happy with me and the girls. Which is super sweet...but like I said, hes young. I worry that oneday he will want his own kid really bad and when he gets to that point, I wont be able to have one. I dont want to have one after 40. I knew it might take some time. I dont think that I will go as far as IUI or IVF. I dont know if I will ask an OB for help. I may just ask her to check my tubes and other things. But as far as I know, I can still have babies. If I have to be honest, I think what is keeping it from happening is probably my smoking habit on top of my age. And I worry, a lot, about miscarrying if I DO end up pregnant because I smoke. With my girls, I smoked but it was easier for me to quit knowing it could hurt the babies. I guess I just have to do it.

I cant wait to see your test when you take it. I hope this is it for you! I really think you might be pregnant. I dont know about the spotting. I dont remember having that when I was pregnant. I do remember my periods before I found out were weird. Knowing that you can spot and bleed when pregnant, I now think thats what was going on. So yea..I think spotting and not starting is a good sign. Do you have any other symptoms?

 

[Holliems]

Oh I forgot to add...Im not sure when Im going to O. FF says tomorrow but I havent gotten a +OPK yet. Not even close to one!

 

[ms sunshine]

Well had a pink spot little worrird had this last time and af arrived in 2 days. Just been looking up ib and its unlikely with the pink. I know from my first pregnancy i bled right througj as my cervix was erroded but sort of braced for the worst. I can feel a pinch on one side which i remember frommy first pregnancy but thats it for signs. My eczema is coming which might sound weird but i get it before af. Guess i will know soon enough. Maybe my chart is wrong and i o'd later i just felt pregnant. What will be will be i guess. If it doesnt work im taking red clover and getting loads opks and just get back to trying.

My mum had 4 kids and smokes quite heavy and we were all ok lol yeah know what you mean i wouldnt want ivf or anything more into herbal stuff. But ehen in quit i went cold turkey drove me nuts it was more at the times i smoked as it was such a routine

 

[Holliems]

Do you think maybe you Oed on CD23? I read on here that some girls bleed red for a couple of days in early pregnancy. Its been so long since Ive been pregnant, I dont remember if I spotted or what. What medicine are you on, again? Progesterone? What does that do?

DH is home. Yay! Ofcourse, I got down to business as soon as he showered Ive been taking OPKs but havent gotten one thats even close to positive. Im wondering if its the brand. Ive never used Clinical Guard before. I should have spent a couple of extra dollars and gotten Wandfos. Sigh oh well. Next month, I dont plan on using Opks. I might not even temp, to be honest. Ill see what my temps tell me this cycle and then decide.

Off subject...Im dreading his mother visiting. Shes nice but loud and I cant get a word in, she talks SO much. Ugh...dreading it. haha

 

[ms sunshine]

No not taking meds bit wondered if i had low progesterone. But if o'd later in the cycle my temps would be normal. So yeah im thinking i o'd later. I dont normally have a cycle this long though but i guess it happens. Still no af had a few cramps psmall bit of like pink string and a lot of brown cm. So this could be in or early af. If its af just wish it would hurry.

Ahh glad hes home hope you catch that egg how long is he back for. Good luck with his mum lol hoe will you guys spend Christmas does he get to come home? Or dont you know yet.

I bought one brand of opks that gave me about 4 positives a month lol they were cheap nasties from ebay. Well next month I will probably just temp around o just to confirm i have o'd and thats it so its only about a week of temping so i can get some sleep. And opks.

 

[Holliems]

He's military and had to go to the shooting range for shooting scores. That was 40 mins out so he stayed with someone who lived closer so I wouldn't have to wake at 2am. He was gone for two weeks. He's back now for good.

I haven't gotten a positive opk yet so I don't think I'll miss the egg. We BDed a lot last night to catch up for lost time His mother will be here tomorrow evening. Uuugh.

How much long has this cycle been for you? Mine have been 28 to 31 days which I've read is normal for them to vary a few days. I may not temp after ovulation either because of sleep. What time do you wake up to temp?

 

[ms sunshine]

My cycle is about 30 to 32 normally and im on 35. My lp used to be 11 but went to 10. When i take out the cm which i put in as no opks my o is 7 days later so im still i think 3 days late. Cant remember exactly but im going to amend it to the later o date as the worse case scenario.

Well my temp time is crazy. It is normally between 2 and 4 and what ever time it is i use a calculator and set it so its all 7am. My temps arent always accurate though as last night i only had 4 hours sleep as the wind kept my little guy awake so its a lot lower than it should have been. Might not bother temping tomorrow if af arrives it arrives im too tired to temp lol

How longs his mom staying and you guys got any plans?

 

[ms sunshine]

Just changed my chart it now says 11 dpo so we shall see what happens. I guess I will know for sure tomorrow morning. Theres no pink now its all brown (i know tmi lol) so i stilk have my fingers crosses its ib since maybe i o'd late

 

[Holliems]

His mom will be here for 7 days for Thanksgiving. I'm not even a fan of that holiday. I've never really celebrated it. I can't stand the traditional foods made. Blehh And getting together with a lot of family is so uncomfortable to me. Even though it'll just be his mom, it'll feel like I have 20 people in the house

If you're so late what are you waiting for!? Test!! I'll be so disappointed if you don't get your BFP. I feel invested haha. I'm actually feeling less enthusiastic this cycle. Not sure why. Any time I have to wake in the middle of the night or I wake up tired in the morning, I think..If you have a baby, it'll be like this every night for years. Plus I get up crazy early during the week to get DH and DD off to work and school...how will I cope being pregnant and tired?! We're still trying though. Just not as gunho about it.

 

[Holliems]

Just saw your chart. That...sucks. : /

 

[ms sunshine]

Yeah cant believe it. I thought i had implantation stabby pains the lot must have all been wishful thinking. The worst part is my next af date according to ff is Christmas eve lol so could have morning sickness or be a psycho with pms lol.

I know what you mean mybson has just stopped teething and i do keep thinking do i really want a few more years of no sleep. Ivr not even had 1 year of good sleep but i just dont want to be trying ina few years and i know si my hubby wont. He would happily stop at just the 1 but i think i woukd regret it. I suppose the thing is in your twenties you can think and put it off but now im 36 ive just gotta go for it. The though of labour again and the stress of pregnancy makes me think i must be crazy. I had a stressful pregnancy and i do keep thinking couldbi really go through that again but I suppose every pregnancy is different and its unlikely to be bad again.

Maybe all the temping and opks have taken the fun out of it for you. Thats why instopped using them a while ago hubbyvwas saying its clinical (but now i use them and hide them lol) and temping is bloody exhausting. I know what you mean though if i get pg now i will have a new born and 3 year old and i just know inwill be flat out exhausted. Hubby works shifts so wont get much help but I suppose you just get through it. I hope I will anyway lol

Stupid keyboard on phone with all those typos lolthe keys are tiny keep hitting 2 at a time

My first pregnancy I was a mad woman. Very moody. And by moody I mean I was a witch....always. Baby had a bad heart and I tried to not get so attached during pregnancy. Labor was 41 hours and I had pp really bad. When I got pregnant again I was scared the whole way. But the pregnancy was so easy. No symptoms at all. Labor was only 8 hours. Didn't hurt too bad and I had no pp after. It was ideal from start to finish. And it was easy for me to get up every few hours to feed baby. I think because I was older and experienced it was easier. But now I'm old (37) and I'm not sure it'll be as easy.

 

[ms sunshine]

aw is that baby with the heart problem your eldest is she okay now?

they say the first labour is normally the longest. i went in to have a water birth and ended up with an epidural and nearly emergency c sec as he got stuck as he was side on. his heart kept stopping during labour was pretty horrible. just keep thinking it cant be like that again.

sounds like you really need to think about it is it something you really want especially if he is happy just as you guys are. if you were to stop do you think you would regret it? thats normally how i work it out if its something i would regret then i usually go for it... but dont say you're old, im not that far behind and i dont want to be old lol we will just need lots more coffee to cope than we used to thats all lol

 

[Holliems]

Yea it was my eldest. She's ok now. Dr say it was something that babies with her condition grow out of. But it was scary. They were talking about giving her a pace maker it she didn't. I think I might regret not having another and maybe that's why I want to go for it. I think in the future hell want one really bad and by that time I won't be able too. I got a positive opk last night and a pre o dip yesterday. I'm hoping that means I'm ovulating today or tomorrow. Im went ahead and BDed with DH last night at bedtime. Im going to skip tonight.

His mom is here. It's already exhausting.
