anyone ttc or ntnp before there child is a year old?

[Spiffynoodles]

Skadi, I'm crossing my fingers for you! Maybe it's best though that you're not expecting a bfp, because then if you don't you won't be as disappointed, and if you do, you'll be pleasantly surprised.

 

[Skadi]

Thanks Spiffy, when I got pregnant I totally wasn't expecting it that month due to timing although we were TTC. Turned out I was wrong and the timing was JUST right! I feel like AF might be coming today though, feeling bloaty.

pez- hope everything works out job-wise

harley- heard anything today???

pie- thats odd about the house. i hope you two find something you both love!

welcome ozzi- no cycles here. still bfing. mason has been eating 3 meals a day besides bfing the last week though, so could change any minute

spiffy- i am a mess lately. this is the first baby i have bf and i expected something totally different. i always feel crabby and emotional. sometimes i call my DH at work and cry about something. he is very sweet and prays with me or just talks. i always feel stupid later when i think about what i was crying over.

 

[Harley Quinn]

No, I still haven't heard anything. When I asked them how much the job would pay, they said they haven't worked that part out yet, so I'm wondering if that's why it's taking so long to tell me. You'd think that even if I didn't get it, they still would have called by now. I'm really hoping I hear something before the end of the day today because we are leaving town tomorrow afternoon for the weekend and Monday is a holiday!

 

[ozzi]

Thanks all for making me feel so welcome. 4 week bleed did feel like a period, but I'm begining to think it was just left overs from DDs birth.
Anyways everything happens for a reason and #2 will come along when he/she is ready I'm sure

Fingers crossed for you Harley

 

[blessedmomma]

skadi- i hope you caught that egg

harley- i used to be a certified employment specialist, sometimes it just takes a while

ozzi- i feel the same. not in a rush, but i will be over the moon if/when it happens

Aloha ladies...just checking in. I don't have internet where I live (rough jungle terrain) so I can't contribute more frequently but am enjoying reading the discussion.

My period is officially late, and I'm having ZERO symptoms at all, either for pregnancy or aunt flow. I'm gonna leave it until the 10th, and if my period hasn't come then I'll test. The only thing I've noticed different is that I'm sooo emotional, but thinking this could be PMS.

 

[Spiffynoodles]

Earthmama, I hope you get your bfp! It's terrible when AF is just late for no apprent reason, so I hope you don't have to go through that.

 

[Skadi]

Hmm my aparant AF symptoms seem to have actually been a precursor to a disturbing bowel movement. lol Hmm Still waiting now with no symptoms.

At least I'm not the only one late right now.

 

[Harley Quinn]

I hope you ladies get your answers soon. So strange to be late with no symptoms. Skadi, I had to laugh at your apparent symptoms turning out to be digestion-related. The only reason I took an OPK this cycle is because I had cramps that I originally thought were just the precursor to weird bowels. Ha. So... anyway, on that note... Happy Thanksgiving!

 

[Pielette]

Morning ladies (Or afternoon or evening depending ).

Harley I'm really sorry it's taking so long to get an answer about the job. Keeping my fingers crossed for you. Sometimes all you want is an answer, even if it's a no, just so you can move on. Much like TTC

Hmm intriguing skadi! How long will you leave it before you try a test?

Earthmama, fingers crossed for you!

As for me, I am trying so so hard not to symptom spot but it's so difficult. I felt rough yesterday. Throughout the afternoon I felt sick on and off, then had dinner and felt better, then 15 mins later felt rough as a dog again. Only thing that helped was going to bed. This morning I work up feeling very very hungry, then made myself some breakfast and could only get through half of it. I don't feel sick as such this morning, just 'off'.

It could of course be some kind of bug, and this would be ridiculously early to feel sick as a result of pregnancy. Just wish my body wouldn't do this now cos it makes my mind whir

Hey everyone just checking in welcome ozzi

I had my first period about 9ish weeks after having my bubba ozzi, so it may well be your period. good luck wit ttc!

Skadi and Pie im excited for youuuss!!!....when are you gna be testing??

Really wanna be bump buddies with you ladies so i looking forward to some more beautiful bfp in this thread.

I feel completly normal maybe a bit more tired than usual and headaches. Took another test this morning and the line came up faint at first than got darker but its not as dark as the control line yet. Did any of you have to wait for that line to get darker or was it just dark straight away? Im 4wks+1day according to conception day.
Because my period is up and down and no set days, varying between 30-35 days. So after wednesday next wk i will feel better as that will be day 35 no period.
xxx

 

[ChezTunes]

Hey, Ez! With this BFP, I waited for that line to get darker until about my 6th week!

 

[ezbabydust]

Thanks for your reasurrance Chez! have u got a cute bump yet? I heard u can show quicker subsequent pregnancies..
Didn't find out I was pregnant this early last time, I was about 7-8wks so when I tested then that line was immediatly dark as can be lol! I got my booking in appointment on monday gna be busy this wkend with the boys so I'm hoping my mind will be busy!

 

[ChezTunes]

Oh, I hate waiting... I am so impatient. I am literally counting down the days (17!!) until my 20w scan!

I've not got a bump as such (I'm a lot bigger this time than when I got pregnant with DD) but I can feel where my bump is, if that makes sense. I didn't actually show well until I was late 20, or early 30 weeks with DD!

 

[Spiffynoodles]

Skadi, I ahd to laugh at your update as well. You just worded it so elegantly. I can't wait for you to test!

Harley, I was looking at your chart and it seems like you for sure ovulated! I *may* have ovulated yesterday because my temp went up a little this morning, but I won't know until I get a few more temps. This cycle has been so weird and unpredictable. I never got any ovulation cramps, which makes me think that maybe my frustrating body still hasn't actually ovulated. I'm just SO ready for this part to be over!

Pie, those sound like promising symptoms! I hope they lead to a bfp! What dpo are you on?

Ez, I didn't take a test until I was 9 days late last time around, so it was dark immediately. But you're still pretty early, so I'm sure it will get there.

Wow, Chez! I was showing enough for a stranger to ask me if I was pregnant by 17 or 18 weeks last time around, so I'm expecting to explode this time around. The funny thing is, towards the end, all I got were, "You're so small!" comments. So my bump shot out and then grew very slowly after that.

Well, the hubby and I are going to a resort up in the mountains tonight while my MIL watches LO. It will be my first night away from her, so I'm looking forward to a full night of sleep with no interuptions. After that, we'll come get her and then spend two more nights up there all together. It should be fun and relaxing.

 

[ChezTunes]

My friends could tell earlier but they still said my bump was small. Compared to my friend who was carrying a big boy and a LOT of fluid, I suppose I was! I don't wear tight clothing either so I guess it's harder to tell if I'm pregnant or just fat!! Honestly though, right now it really is just the latter. BOO!

 

[Spiffynoodles]

Yeah, I was super proud of my bump so I'll admit I did wear some snug tops to show it off. Here's a picture of my 16 week bump last time around. That shirt probably should have been put away at that point, but I only had so many "professional" shirts to wear to work, that I had to make them stretch...literally.

The sad this is, I have about as much belly now and I'm not even prego!

 

[ChezTunes]

Aww, I wish I showed like that! I'd be proud to show that bump off too!! I had the whole "B-bump" going on. I'd lost a lot of weight before getting with DF and when we first got together was still loosing it, only to get our BFP soon after we got together. (She was totally planned but came a bit sooner than we'd thought. We thought it'd take a little longer because of the losses/hard time concieving I'd had in the past.) No idea why I felt I needed to share that last bit, but there we go! Haha!

 

[Spiffynoodles]

Well, I have a bit of "fluff" this time left over from my LO, so we'll see what kind of bump I get next time around. I'm afraid that it's going to be really hard to keep it secret since a lot of my weight is in my stomach so add first trimester bloat to that and I think it's going to look a little suspicious.

How long did it take to concieve your DD? It took me 4 months with my DD, which felt too long for me, but was a little quicker than DH was expecting (I think he was secretly hoping that it would take us a year. He was pretty scared the first time around. ).
