Anyone trying for #2 around cd 4?

[NotNic]

I'm definitely proof that dating on LMP alone is just stupid. The month before conceiving Finlay I didn't ovulate. I had been doing opks and we'd decided to stop as it kept giving the same CD date for ovulation, so that cycle we didnt do them. I eventually got my BFP on CD56, having had blood tests etc. to track where I was in the cycle. My LMP put me ahead by a good few weeks, but in reality my body skipped a month. We would have been way out using my LMP!

I know it seems so outdated to go by that practice! If you know when you ovulate they should really go from that!

Castaway- i think you should go for it.And i agree that LMP is silly,its just a guide,but lets face it,it doesnt work for everyone.
As for having more kids,im sure it will all work out.Once you have #1 just see how you feel after that,try not to put so much pressure on yourself,you dont need it with everything you have been through.Fingers crossed for next month for you.
Im 9DPO and yesterday had very sensitive nipples and today really heavy full boobs.Im trying not to read too much into it.Ive had no cramps or anything.
I started testing early with IC and so far nothing,but i didnt get a positive till 15 DPO with my DD,so i should wait a few more days,but i just love peeing on them sticks!

Dogtanian your symptoms sound very promising to me! Sore boobs was what made me think - hmm - maybe. I normally get them for a day before af and that's it! So when they started hurting early and every day I did wonder...

Keep us posted on your poas addiction!!

 

[Mrs W 11]

Same for me last time I was preg, sore boobs, ouch!! Keep peeing dogtanian!! X

 

[CastawayBride]

This last pregnancy my boobs just felt heavy and big. I had extra saliva in my mouth too and then when brushing my teeth they bled. I was like oh yea, I am pregnant lol I get my positives early though like 8 DPO....

I am gonna use the ovulation sticks to see if we can figure out when I am ovulating. I am still bleeding pretty heavy and probably will for another week. I will probably ovulate mid November, period towards the end of November if not pregnant and can try again beginning of December. Hoping to have some luck and get a sticky bean though! I just picked up folic acid, taking that in the morning and evening. I also get 1000 mg in my pre natal. Trying to rebuild that as I just gave birth in July and now the miscarriage. Want enough of that in my system

 

[Twinks]

Just having my morning read through all the posts I've missed.
Dogtanian sounds very promising :-D
Castaway- big hugs hun. You're not old at all and all the time will absolutely be worth it when you have your lo. I really hope you catch that sticky bean straight away again when you both start trying xx
It frustrates me that at school you're always taught don't get pregnant don't get pregnant but no one talks about when you're older it might take on average of a year. Almost all of our friends took at least a year to fall with two couples taking two and a half years! It's a long time of peeing on sticks ha ha ha or the penis beaker lol.
I ov on day 14 (according to cbfm) and went straight from one high to a peak this month. Usually I get two highs. We only dtd three times- two days before my first high, on my only high and the following day on the first peak. We didn't dtd on the second peak as my husband has started a new job and we were both just too tired this month. Will get back on trying properly next month if we don't catch that tricky, sticky lil bean ;-)
Baby dust to you all xx

 

[Fleur29]

I know I feel like that too twinks - getting pregnant is really not that easy!

Fingers crossed for you anyway - they say dtd on the last high (which you did) is most likely to result in pregnancy so fingers crossed for you. Keep us posted! What cd are you on?

Any update from you dogtanian??

I'm feeling very nervous today - no good reason but I just keep thinking - how do I know all is ok?! I don't really have any pregnancy symptoms - I keep having to remind myself I was like this with dd but its quite scary. 7 weeks is soooooo long to wait for first scan I really hope my dr takes pity on me and refers me for an early scan...

Hope everyone is having happy Halloweens! X

 

[Twinks]

Thanks hun. Fingers crossed :-D No symptoms again though so far. I'm cd 17 now
Aw it's something to really look forward to (scan) and the 7 weeks will pass quickly I'm sure Looking forward to us all joining you! Would be lovely if we were all pregnant at a similar time to share experiences (or in my case morning sickness woes ha ha!)
I still need to buy some pre pregnancy folic acid tablets to take. Maybe might help?
Ohhh I love Halloween (sorry anyone that's not keen!) What's America like girls during Halloween? Do lots of people participate? I know some people are dead against it but I went trick or treating as a kid and my parents just took us to the houses which had other kids. We just enjoyed all the dressing up side of it. We're not doing much this year other than getting a few sweets for anyone that comes around and doing a pumpkin tomorrow. We're a tad short on money this month so keeping things tight- we have spent all our money on painters (paint cans). The whole house needed desperately painting and with a lo we took the easy option, we are lucky tht my ohs brother is in the industry so we're getting it all done for the cost of the paint cans! Lol back to Halloween... Down our road we only have a few families but all of them have decorations outside! I work in a c of e school so we can't talk about witches or monsters etc and can't talk about Halloween at all. I have to admit I'm a ghoulish fan though and love all the costumes lol! Sorry again anyone that isn't keen!

 

[Mrs W 11]

Ahhh twinks I like Halloween too it's fun! I dressed my little girl in a pumpkin baby gro today for nursery hehe, so cute!!

Fleur sorry you are feeling anxious, I think all women feel that way after their bfp, I know I did last time. I'm sure all is fine, try to keep feeling the excitement and the time will fly by to your scan.

 

[CastawayBride]

Uhhh today has been so hard. I broke down and cried twice, my son should be here enjoying this.

I really hope we catch again first try. if we don't I am gonna be quite a mess....We are going to wait until the end of November as I am still bleeding. Give my body 4 weeks to really recover, not waiting for my next period but if I O at about 4 weeks we will try then. I just am miserable at the moment.

OH my I am so sorry I didn't know b/c I deleted myself off the fb group. it was too hard to watch everyone progress seeing as it was my 3rd mc in 12 months. I am so sorry you are going through this, but maybe we will give birth to rainbow babies together soon

 

[Fleur29]

Huge hugs to you castaway. I don't know what to say - no one can say anything that will make it better but we are all here for you. Crying is hard but you kind of need to do it to come out the other side of this so you should cry as much as you need to I think.

If there is any kind of god or karma in this world then you will be blessed with a sticky bean on your first go. I hope that so much for you.

You're very much in my thoughts. Huge hugs xxxxxx

 

[Twinks]

Big hugs castaway I'm so sorry for you hun. Always here to talk and keep your chin up hun. You've dealt with way more than anyone should have to recently. I really hope all the clots pass quickly and that the bleeding stops soon. Sending another big hug your way. Xxxx

 

[CastawayBride]

Thank you all! Tomorrow was a very low day for me...trying to be more optimistic :thumb up:

I am passing more of a brown blood, like old blood so that is a good thing I think lol Hoping for the bleeding to stop and I can figure out when I am ovulating. We are agreeing that we want to give it 4 weeks to give my body some time to get used to being not pregnant again, before getting pregnant. Again. For the third time in a year.

We are going out to dinner for our 2 year anniversary tonight, didn't have the heart to tell my husband I am really not up to it. Hoping I can keep my chin up enough to get through a nice meal.

Florida mom I am so sorry you have had so many miscarriages. They can take a toll on you! I hope you catch a sticky bean as well!!

 

[Mrs W 11]

Oh castaway you poor thing. Huge hugs, I am so sorry you are going through all of this. I agree with fleur I think it's good for you to cry at the moment when you need to as its all part of grieving before you can start to really feel better.

I think it's probably good too to give your body that 4 weeks to recover so that hopefully when you do conceive again your body is better and ready to nourish that little bean into your rainbow baby.

I hope you enjoy the meal tonight, happy anniversary. Xx

 

[Twinks]

Happy anniversary Castaway!! I hope you have a lovely relaxing meal and some nice wine. Red wine always helps me relax lol- I do like my wine. What food are you having out? Italian etc? That's really lovely of your hubby to treat you to a lovely meal. Enjoy it- you both deserve a lovely relaxing evening.
Is everyone going out to fireworks displays this weekend? We might have some in our back garden this year as all the large displays clash terribly with Los bedtime. I'm not fussed on a majorly set routine lol but my lo is!! He does like his 6.45 bed time and most displays around here seem to be 7.30- 8 starts and they always start late. Going to have a few nice fireworks in the garden instead. Hope you all have a lovely weekend. I love this time of year Halloween, fireworks and Xmas. In the states isn't it thanks giving soon too? Lovely time of the year :-D I'm going to be a saddo and put the decorations up on... 1st Decemeber ha ha! I love all the pretty twinkling Xmas lights

 

[Mrs W 11]

I'll be putting my tree up on 1st December too twinks as its a Sunday this year!! Oh and I also love wine!! The thing I miss most when preggo!!! X

 

[Dogtanian]

Hi all.
Castaway-just keep your chin up,and before you know it im sure you will be preggo again.I hope you enjoyed your anniversary.
I love love love Christmas! its all about the decorations and cooking for me.Already planning the Christmas menu and all the treats im going to bake.
As im from a catholic family we didnt really believe in trick or treating,but i do love getting dressed up.Hubs and I have decided we will have a halloween party for DD when shes older so she doesnt feel left out,and that way she wont have to go trick or treating,kind of a compromise.
Well ladies i am 11DPO and still BFN,will keep testing....you never know
I agree it would be lovely to all go through the trimesters together.
Fleur-I remember how it feels them first few weeks,just stay positive.Your scan will be here before you know it

 

[Fleur29]

Hi everyone

Castaway - how are you today? I hope you enjoyed the meal, sounds like you have a lovely hubby who is taking lots of care of you. And hope you took twinks advice and had some tasty wine too I think it's a good plan to give yourself time to recover. Lets all wish the next 4 weeks to speed by huh!

Re Halloween - I've never been that fussed but since having dd we have got into it a lot more! Now it's over we are on a countdown to Christmas! Woop woop!!!!

I always put the decs up early but this year I'm planning to delay a bit as the Christmas tree dropping its needles drove me totally mental about a week before it was even Christmas last year! We are considering getting a fake one but I just love the smell of real trees...

Well I saw the gp this morning. It was fine, he said he would send off for my 12 week scan that was about it. He kept asking how I felt (as in emotional about it) and I said I did feel a bit worried as dd was so early but he said I won't get any more scans or extra care than I had last time as I'm at no extra risk of having a preemie than anyone else - argh! So I will just have to wait. And in a way I guess it's good that I'm not at extra risk. 7 weeks seems soooooo long away! He said I need to check in with the midwife at 8 weeks so that will be the next thing to work towards in 3 weeks time.

Hope you all get bfps soon. Dogtanian - 11 dpo is still early so keeping fingers crossed for you xx
