Anyone who is ttc having trouble with their cycles due to previous bc use?

[Rachel789]

That's great that you are getting an early scan. I am excited for you and can't wait to hear about it!

 

[Lovetoteach86]

Symptoms coming and going drive me crazy, I am feeling pretty good today, aside from tons and tons of wet cm, I haven't felt anything pregnancy related today. I am trying to tell myself to enjoy feeling good, but the crazy woman inside of me freaks out when I don't feel like crap. It is unheard of for me to not be dead tired by this time of day...

 

[ImSoTired]

It may not be too early to see baby's heartbeat, I know that I got a very early scan and I could see the flicker on the screen. I hope for your nerves sake, you do. Everything will be great, just try to relax.

I know, it's been quite a long time since we've started ttc. My bfp was 2 years ago March 27th. It's kinda sad how fast time flies by so I am trying my best to enjoy it. Soon enough, our family will be complete and I won't be focusing on ttc anymore, but raising my kids and just going about my business. It's a little sad, but nonetheless I am looking forward to it.

I hope everyone is well!

 

[Rachel789]

Michelle my symptoms always came and went, it's normal. You will feel better after your scan. Hopefully it will help you feel less nervous.

Steph- we are only having two so this will be our last time ttc. It makes me sad to think I will only go through this journey once more but as you said, I also look forward to raising my kids and all the fun to come watching them grow!

Cd 21 I think I am having some ewcm but it doesn't seem very clear and plentiful yet so w will see what happens. I am praying I don't o later than cd23 which is when I o'ed last cycle. I just want some normalcy even if it is a cd 23 o day each cycle. I hated the guessing games when we ttc last time. If I go back to long irregular cycles again I will have to go back to the fertility specialist and get meds again which I am really hoping to avoid this time around.

Only half a day away from my first appointment! Getting really excited. I had my first, "morning sickness" Saturday night after eating pizza. I guess pizza was too greasy, and unhealthy for the baby's liking, because the nausea was full force and I was afraid to move an inch for fear of it somehow getting worse. I feel pretty good today, I am tired, but that has been completely normal for me the past few weeks.

 

[Lovetoteach86]

This is my 6 week, 2 day sonogram. We got to see the heart flicker today! My next appointment is May 2, 2014.

 

[ImSoTired]

Oh wow, Michelle! Congratulations!I know my appt was very early as well and I had a tiny little pic of a bean with a sweet little heart beat. And the morning sickness? Seems like your body is surging with baby-growing hormones! I'm so excited for you! And you will be near 10 weeks at your next appt? If by any chance they scan you, you'll be surprised that that tiny blip has taken a baby shape, already! Ahh, I'm overjoyed, and can't wait to try for my own! Congrats, congrats, congrats!

I'm just hanging in there, getting dentist appts out of the way and trying to lose a few more lbs. I want to make an appt with my family doc just for a check up and some routine bloods before we ttc. I already have an annual appt at my ob/gyn later this month so I may mention it to them as well. I'm so excited and nervous but I know that once I'm pregnant I will try to enjoy because baby #2 is the last unless we have some surprise baby in the future. I will spend the following years trying to have fun with the kids, relax, amd lose the rest of the weight (and any that may come from pregnancy #2) for good. I have lot to look forward to.

I hope all is well!

 

[Lovetoteach86]

I'm excited for you to try again Yes, at my next appointment on May 2nd, I should be 9 weeks and 5 days, and they said I will for sure be getting another sonogram. I can't wait to actually be able to see something.

 

[Rachel789]

I am so happy your scan went well! I also had an early scan and remember seeing the flicker, it was so amazing! I look forward to experiencing that again.

Cd 23, this is the day i o'ed last cycle but nothing so far. I have a feeling my body is returning to its usual ways. Good news is I know there are drugs I can take to get things going if I need to. I would rather not do that this time but I am grateful they exist!

 

[ImSoTired]

cd 13 here an neg opk. I've never tracked an ovulation when it happened before cd 16 anyway so I have some time. Rachel, you may still be having messy cycles due to breastfeeding also, so don't worry just yet. And as you mentioned, you know how things work now and if medication is needed you will know.

 

[Rachel789]

I think I o'ed early this morning. I woke around 5 am and had what felt like ovulation cramps and I had been having some ewcm the past few days and a fair amount today. If I did in fact o this morning that would be basically the same day as last month (last month I o'ed on cd 23 this time would be early on cd 24) even though cd23 is late to o I would love to have a predictable cycle even if it is a little longer. I hope I really did o and that my cycles stay this way or get shorter in the future. I also hope the o cramps stick around, talk about being able to easily time bd'ing at the right time!

 

[ImSoTired]

Yeah, Rachel, definitely not a bad thing that your cycle is predictable and you can feel ovulation. I can only hope it maybe shortens a bit for you before you ttc again.

Neg opk again today but maybe a bit darker than yesterday. I think there might be a weird bird outside or something making a noise. lol. It's a beautiful day, Cait and I will go play after her nap. So excited for Spring to have finally arrived!

 

[Lovetoteach86]

Fingers crossed for earlier ovulation for both of you. Though 23/24 isn't horrible, it would be nice for you if it were to move up a few days over the next few months or so.

I have been extremely tired lately, which is why I haven't been on here every day. I come home from work, take a nap, eat dinner, and then I am back in bed for the night between 8 and 8:30 every night. Last night I took a nap after dinner at 6pm, and only woke up long enough to take my contacts out and crawl back into bed for the night. The nausea is finally kicking in too, though I have managed to keep the throwing up at bay so far, I still feel like I need to on and off all day. At least I know all this is a good sign for the baby being healthy.

 

[Rachel789]

While those symptoms are difficult to deal with they are reassuring that everything is going well. Get all the rest you can. I took naps almost every day in the first tri. It will be so different being pregnant a second time because I won't be able to kick my feet up and relax since I will have a toddler to chase after. It should be interesting!

 

[ImSoTired]

Oh boy. Yep. Not looking forward to being a tired preggo chasing a toddler but it will be worth it.

Michelle sounds like everything is going well symptom wise. You will get some energy eventually. Hang in there.

I got neg opks again today but the ewcm has begun. I'm thinking/hoping it would be positive tomorrow but can't test because i will be out all day. CD 15 today.

I hope you're well!

 

[ImSoTired]

Today is cd18 and I'm not sure if I ovulated or not. I had a lot of stretchy cm yesterday and some cramping on saturday and a little today. I wasn't able to do opks and when I did I'm not sure I held my urine long enough. I seriously wish I were able to temp but I sleep so erratically and I can't do anything about that. All I can do is wait for af and hope it comes on time and that I did O.

I hope everyone is doing well!

 

[Rachel789]

I hear you on that! I can't temp either due to my sleep. I am hoping I can by time I ttc again.

 

[Lovetoteach86]

I don't know how yall survived the first trimester. I am so freaked out about not knowing if everything is okay. I am trying to tell myself I can't do anything about it either way except be healthy, but I wish I could have another scan right now to see the heart beat.

 

[ImSoTired]

Aww, honestly, Michelle, I remember it being really difficult. I was constantly worried about everything throughout the entire pregnancy. I remember good times in between all the worrying but I have anxiety issues so I was never completely off guard. But everything turned out awesome and I have this perfect little toddler running around. Everything will be okay, just hang in there.

It is cd20 and out of curiosity I took and opk and it's near positive . I've been cramping so I thought something was weird. So I'm guessing a little late ovulation for me this cycle. I hope it was just from stress and nothing else. I have been particularly stressed the last week or two. I just hope it's not always going to be like this.

I hope everyone is well!

 

[Rachel789]

I was always worried too. It's completely normal, I think most women feel that way especially in the first tri. The fact that you saw a heartbeat is a great sign that everything will be fine!

I hope you o soon steph. Stress can def delay o so that's probably what happened.

Just waiting for af to show to see if I actually o'ed when I thought I did. I hope I did!
