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

[Livvy]

yep! i bought a pair of baby converse (my husband and i practically live in ours so would love to somehow use baby ones to tell him) and they are hiding in the closet

though, my husband is usually home when i've taken HPTs so might not get to use them as he'll probably just see the stick sitting on the counter when he goes to shave or something!

Aww, that is too cute!! I have like 6 or 7 pairs of converse. They are my fav. Did you guys wear them when you got married?

Hi Livvy, how long have you been TTC? I was suppose to ovulate the same time as you guys, but I did on the 10th, now I have to wait longer

Hi martamok, only for 3 months now. I thought I knew all there was to getting pregnant and having a baby, since I went through nursing school, but boy was I wrong... I am really overwhelmed reading about all the stuff that's out there to try and help you conceive! I wish it was easy!

More bleeding. Not quite enough to be 100% positive it's AF yet, but I'm pretty certain.

Well now I guess it's just hoping that the Vitex helps with the dysmenorrhea and/or with getting me a few more days of LP next month (since this month was still only 8, even though I spotted less).

I just wish this didn't have to happen today. It's my daughter's second birthday and I'd like to focus all my energy positively towards her, but between the disappointment, the knowledge that it's increasingly unlikely/impossible to get her a sibling before she turns 3, and the fear of the cramps all day - that's going to be much harder.

Hey girls!! New to the club! 8dpo... I literally can't even stand it! My DH thinks I'm insane with my symptom googling!! Woke up this morning with crampy legs and arms. Still about a week away from AF. For two days now, I have had this low, dull ache between my hipbones... Also, yesterday I was grocery shopping and felt ill everywhere I went. I dropped about 3 things while there..spaz!! Currently experiencing side pain/pressure around my ribs?? Maybe heartburn? Anyone experience these symptoms and end up with a delightful BFP...and which day did you test?!?

yup!
had the ceremony and reception in my parents' backyard and my brothers on my side, his brother and sister on his side and my dad all wore them too. was perfect for dancing later too! (i'm SO not a heels kinda girl)

 

[misspriss]

Okay my test for squinting...

My photo hosting site is down this am (google picasa...really? down?) so it's just on countdown to pregnancy right now:

I liked pic 1 the best though.

It is SUPER early though!

 

[martamok]

Hi Misspriss! I looked at your test and I'm sorry but I can't see anything, maybe tomorrow it will be darker. FX

 

[misspriss]

Thanks Martamok! It's way early, so no worries. I kind of think I see a shadow, but just a shadow and I know 6/7dpo is waaaay early.

That's awesome! I totally wanted to do that back in the day (either that or cowboy boots), but then we ended up getting married on the beach so I went barefoot Totally not a heels kind of girl either.

Fxed for you misspriss!! Let's both get our BFPs this month

AFM, I had the weirdest thing happen to me this morning... when I rolled over in bed to take my temp the room started spinning. It was actually really scary. I think I was too sleepy to really care but then later the same thing happened and I bolted upright. :/ good? bad? This has never happened before...

 

[misspriss]

Livvy, dizziness is a symptom! it could also be nearing fainting, which is also a symptom...

 

[Livvy]

Ahhh!! I'm going to go crazy with all this symptom spotting. I can't be making this one up though since I was still half asleep when I turned and the room was literally spinning...

Should I buy a pregnancy test today or wait it out?

Sorry Krissy! Happy 2nd birthday to your princess

Most people usually wait til around 10 dpo, unless your a poas addict

How many dpo are you? It really depends on how long you can hold out. I've seen people get positives as early as 8 dpo on here.


AFM: CD 19 had a fairly dark line on my opk just not positive, so crossing my fingers I'm gonna O soon or just O'd The past couple days its been so light I had to squint, and today it was good so cross your fingers for me!

@Misspriss: good luck hun!

@:Livvy: when I was prego with ds dizziness and fainting was my main issue but I never had morning sickness or sore breasts lol

@Krissy: sorry hun but happy birthday to your LO

@Smiley: any luck with the ovulation

afm, I am freaking out about these Montgomery tubercles I have always had them but due to my nips being brown they just looked like dark brown dots but now they have white heads on them its more on the right than left...I read they can be a sign of hormone imbalance

 

[misspriss]

Thanks for looking everyone! I can't wait until tomorrow AM (although I plan to test this PM, not much hope for it...)

Been a little emotional today, but that is par for the course for pms as well. For like a flash second I felt a little "fullness" in the uterus, but when I tried to concentrate it went away. DS is taking a nap, hope it's a good long one.

GL smiley!! I'm 7-8 dpo. I'm thinking I'll wait till next week's grocery shopping and pick a couple up then.

Thanks hunni! I hope I'm like you whenever I do get preggo and don't get morning sickness I am SO dizzy today. Even bending over or looking up makes the room spin. Fxed for a BFP!

My nips often have whiteheads on them... hmm. I didn't know that could be a sign of a hormone imbalance. Interesting.

 

[smiley4442]

mammogram was benign!! yay!!
Received the results in the mail today

Now on to the baby making, come on ovulation!!


To Everyone

Sorry, I feel so relieved right now.

 

[misspriss]

Yay smiley!!

 

[macydarling]

Anyone here good at analyzing OPKs???? Here is mine from today CD 9 after a 2 hr hold. One with flash and one without.

 

[n.miller]

[hunni12]

@Smiley: Yay for no "C"!

@Livvy: I think they said it was due to a sudden drop in blood pressure

@Macy: I wish I could help hun but im not used to that one

Me and LO were laying down and I got the sharp pain on my right side maybe lasted a second or so then maybe 10 mins later my lower vag was aching...don't think its implantation cause a pain that sharp surely would have caused some type of bleeding. It was the same spot I felt the flutter the other day and my nips are still sore.

 

[hunni12]

also just checked cervix after bm still yellow ewcm and these Montgomery tubercles are coming out more
