AUGUST buddies~ Symptom Spotting, Girl Talk & POAS party!

[n.miller]

Hi N.miller!!!! I can totally relate to needing a break. I cant see what is in the spoiler. Waaahhh! Have the best time in Costa Rica! Im jealous.

I fixed it! And thanks so much! We scuba dive Thursday!

I agree about the implantation dip Hunni!

Kat~ I know it's hard but you have to try to relax or you are going to drive yourself nuts! Easier said than done, I know. I have never used Wondfos so Im not sure about that. Your symptoms could be caused by progesterone, as you suspected. Your body pretty much just assumes you are pregnant in that week or so before your period (in case you actually are) & that is why pregnancy symptoms and PMS are so very similar. If I were you I would just wait for AF and when/if she comes make an appt with another doctor for a second opinion since you dont care for the one you have now. Im sorry you are going through this. This is a crazy journey! But we are here to support you!

AFM I *think* I am probably 7DPO today, AF due this time next week and Im starting to get antsy already wanting to test. I swore this time I would wait and Im going to try my hardest. Maybe I need to do some yoga today instead of my usual run LOL. No symptoms to even spot. I hope these next 6 days fly by!

So that includes the shooting pains I've had in my breasts (not normal PMS symptoms) and tugging feelings around navel? The insane hunger I've had? The whole 2WW has not been normal, I had increased CM from about 2 dpo until around 10 dpo, again not normal at all compared to my 2WW non-pregnant cycles.

I don't dare change my doctor out now as he's an arrogant, narcissistic type and he'd probably just get insulted and I'd risk not getting my referral. He'd probably call the new doctor and tell him we're difficult and then lie about how long we've been trying. Nope, changing doctors will have to wait until after the referral, at least. All doctors in this country refuse to give referrals to anyone who hasn't tried the minimum of 12 months so changing doctors for that reason won't help

Gorgeous n.miller! Enjoy!

Kat - that stinks that you have a bad doctor and have to wait. Here I am pretty sure if you are over 35 they will refer you after 6mos. Unfortunate that there they apparently aren't taking age into consideration if they make everyone wait a year no matter what... It sounds like you are very stressed so the plan to simply NTNP until the referral (unless you get your BFP this cycle) sounds like a good one. Good luck and may the wait go quickly!

Wow, the whole doctor situation sounds really unfortunate...I am so genuinely sorry about that. It is terrible that a doctor would behave in such an unprofessional manner.

My PMS symptoms will sometimes change cycle to cycle but if the symptoms this tww are that out of the ordinary I think maybe you could be right about the high progesterone. Also, if you want to be pregnant badly enough you can even trick your body into thinking you are and even producing symptoms. Isnt that weird?? A doctor told me that once (pretty sure it has happened to me before LOL). Or who knows, maybe you are about to get that BFP! Dont count yourself out yet lady!

N.miller that is beautiful! Enjoy!

 

[AugustBride6]

Oh goodness! I want to take a dip in that pool! Have a great vacay!!

 

[smiley4442]

Just thought I'd drop in to say hi! Cd 4 so nothing exciting. Everything still points to O'ing around the time of my mammogram. I'm hoping it's the day after lol. Good luck all August testers! DH birthday is the end of August and if love to wrap up a positive test!

 

[sweetbliss89]

n.miller - SO jealous! enjoy your vacation!

4 dpo today here... nothing new to report. No more spotting though as of right now so that's good. Although I really don't have any CM. I noticed I didn't really have any after Oing last month either. Is that normal?

Haha, that is a lovely idea, but all it makes me think is "here's a present for you, I peed on it!" I'm sure he'd still love it of course, good luck!

With my first, unplanned, pregnancy the announcement went something like this...me: "I'm sorry, I know you're eating, but..." We did eventually stop being freaked out and start getting excited. She's almost 2 now and we're both so happy to have her. Babies are awesome.

 

[macydarling]

N.miller~ now I am really jealous! That is beautiful!

AFM~ Finally a symptom to spot! I started feeling nauseated this afternoon. I had a snack and it went away. Then a little while later it came back with a vengeance on my car ride home! I seriously thought I was going to have to pull over. I had to come straight in and lay down which is where I still currently am It has finally passed. I do typically get nausea with PMS (not to the point of almost having to pull over) so Im taking it with a grain of salt. Let's hope this isnt some new thing every AF. Lol.

I think most ladies usually "dry up" after Oing, so I think you're ok! Just as long as you have some fertile CM around O time you should be good!

AFM: Spotting brown for over a week, ugh! No other signs of AF coming...what the heck is going on.

Edit: Ok, 30 mins later and I just went to the bathroom, had my first BM today and passed a blob of bright red blood mixed with EWCM (I think). I checked my cervix and there was only brown sticky CM. I kind of feel crampy...but I can't tell if it's just cuz I'm hungry or what. Maybe AF is on her way, maybe not?

sweetbliss I've noticed the same thing this cycle, not really ANY cm this month. I had my IUD removed last cycle, so that's what I'm attributing the changes to... but who knows!

I'm 3-4 dpo, and surprisingly calm. I go through CRAZY swings though; this morning I was an anxious wreck! I am a natural worrier, so I've been trying to keep that at a minimum. I know it couldn't be good for potential pregnancy!

 

[JessO714]

Hi ladies, I'm new to the whole forum thing, but would love a place to chat about TTC so I don't drive DH crazy! I'm currently 2-3dpo...I had positive OPK on Saturday -CD16. My cycles have been irregular since coming off BC last December, and found out I'm not ovulating regularly. This is my first month on Clomid and I'm trying so hard not to get my hopes up. Hoping to pass the time until I can POAS Aug 11ish. Hope it's ok if I jump in your group!!

 

[Mintastic]

Hi Jess! Good luck!
What type of BC were you on?

 

[sweetbliss89]

Welcome Jess!

Caringo - I'm going to take your word on that and chalk this up to normal then haha thank you!

I really don't feel like I have any symptoms that could be attributed to being pregnant, they're all related to other things I think. Like last night and today I've been so bloated but I think it's all of the queso I ate last night that upset my stomach haha. Just now I got this overwhelmingly hopeful feeling. I don't want to be overly hopeful or think it'll happen this month because then I'm twice as upset at the end of the month. I wish our bodies could communicate more clearly with us and be like yup, its happening or no sorry, try again. How is every one else feeling about this cycle?

 

[dustergrl]

Hi Jess! I'm new too- just joined yesterday and everyone has been welcoming! Baby dust to you!

 

[mwah_xx]

I think I'm caught up now to everyone, good luck caringo!!

N.miller great that your body is doing it on its own wooooo! Costa Rica, very jealous pool looks fab - less jealous of the scuba as the idea terrifies me

Hi Jess - what BC were you on? My cycles are out of whack after coming off cerazette and not 100% sure I'm ovulating either!

Arm still poas daily (opk) just waiting for the line to catch up and go dark, then time for some planned bd, yuk no spontaneity!!!!

read this and my next move was to text my husband to ask if we could go out for dinner and get queso. he said yes. woohoo

i thought i was well into my TWW but then my temps made me believe that FF had O wrong, so i'm back to 4DPO. nothing like doing the first week over again, right?

Hi Ladies,
First time using this forum. My husband and i have been TTC for nearly a year now and i am currently 11 days late. ive taken 3 tests and all are neg. ive been feeling VERY tired, VERY Emotional, Cramps at night time, cant stomach Milk or dairy products in the morning - makes me feel like ill be sick but i dont, my right side (near my overy) is sore and today ive started spotting - not a lot very light red colour and is wiped away with toilet paper. Has anyone ever had this happen and then found out their pregnant? im afraid to take another test and it shows negative AGAIN im normally very regular maybe a day or 2 late but never 11. Please Help any advise is welcome.

 

[KatO79]

Mint: Yeah I don't know why the rules are like that. Probably because the state pays for the vast majority of any fertility costs, only if your TTCing #1 though. They want to make sure people truely can't get pregnant naturally before paying thousands to help people conceive through assisted conception.

Ok still no AF and when I did #2 I got a fair amount of white CM that's slightly thicker than water DH and I leave for a 2.5 week vacation in Russia (plus Finland and Estonia) on Sunday so I don't know what I'm going to do if AF doesn't show up before than My stupid GP is on vacation and I doubt I can reach to get an appointment with another GP before we leave anyway so I'm getting a bit nervous now
