Calling determined ladies TTC #1

[Khigg19]

I'm the same way, fleur! Before the chemical, I was 29 days like
It was cool. After, it's been anywhere from 31 days - 45 days. It drives me nuts!

 

[Ladybird6972]

I think this is a very short af!! I'm down to spotting already! I bled medium for about half the day then it just stopped. Now I'm just spotting. Usually I have af for three to four days. This is so weird!!

 

[jjbubbles28]

The good news is af came and you can start again. Any plans on trying something new this cycle?

 

[Ladybird6972]

I think I'm gonna start temping. I'd do a chart on FF, but I don't want to pay for a membership right now. The hard thing, is dh is a truck driver and might not be here at the right time!! Crossing our fingers he will be!!

LB, I don't pay for FF. That's only for the VIP services.

8 more days until my period is due. The wait is so hard.

Ladybird, ttcgamer is right, i started using FF for the past 6 weeks and I do not pay anything...paying gives you more services/options

How are you feeling cdelmar?

I'm still sleepy and it feels like gravity is exerting it's power over my lady parts. Very strange/uncomfortable feeling. I have to pee a lot, but that's normal after O.

Husband turns 32 tomorrow. I am throwing him a Harry Potter birthday today. I started with year 1 last year and they will mimic each of the HP books until he is 37.

Well, Im 7dpo (third day in a row of a flatline temp). I would say 2-5dpo i was really tired throughout the day (might have been after O symptoms ) 5 dpo i had minor piercing belly pains here and there and yesterday I had AF cramps ALL day (not as severe as CD1 which is the only time i have cramps during AF) but, it was an uncomfortable feeling... it felt so uncomfortable I had to get up and walk around because sitting and laying down on my side is how i would feel it more. Not sure what today's symptoms (if any) will bring...so just waiting around during my tww

ttcgamer, oh wow, that's neat! Cool idea for the hubby!

 

[TTCgamer2.0]

Thanks cdelmar!

9dpo today. Symptoms of pms? I never know what to expect anymore:

Inside of boobs are sore.

I can't eat as much. I ate half of what everyone else did last night and had to lay down during DH candle blow out because I felt, not nauseous, but just uncomfortable, like I had a corset on. This is supposed to be when my stomach is a bottomless pit, I was prepared! If you want to make God laugh...make a plan. It's morning and I still feel my tank is past full.

I've kind of had some dull barely noticeable cramps/back ache. I can't remember if I've gotten that in the past. I think they are usually sharper. I don't know if it's because of the cramps, but I feel like a weird pressure when peeing. Hopefully nothing doctor worthy...

Well that's my report. How is everyone else doing?

 

[cdelmar]

8dpo over here and My chart is starting to look like the beginning of what could possibly be triphaisic ! Another thing, I'm just realizing that the past week when I get up in the morning I always have the urge to pee as if I have been holding it since the night before but, that's the only time I've been having "the urge"

 

[TTCgamer2.0]

Are you gonna put your chart in your sigi cdelmar?

 

[Fleur828815]

AF still hadn't arrived so I did a test yesterday and got a BFP. Saw the OB/GYN today, he did a scan and couldn't detect the sac, just a thickened uterus lining (my uterus is retroverted so it can be harder to see anything). Am worried because I'm still getting some brown discharge, he said there's no need for blood tests to check my levels, but to call him if it gets worse. Have got another scan in 2 weeks, I hope everything will be fine.

Fingers crossed for all those on the 2WW, and hoping this cycle will be the lucky one for the ladies waiting to ovulate.

TTCgamer, what a cool idea for a birthday!

cdelmar and TTCgamer, the urge to pee often was one of my symptoms...

 

[TTCgamer2.0]

Oh my goodness Fleur!! That's amazing! Congrats! The start of a lucky thread I hope I hear brown discharge is normal. At least they didn't make you wait 8 weeks How does it feel to be a lady with a BFP?!

 

[LadyBug923]

Can I join in? I'm kind of counting myself as out for this month as DH fishes for a living and left 2 freaking days before my fertile window! But it seems like there are a few other ladies on here shooting for next month as well so I'd love to chat with you ladies and get some good advice or support! TTCgamer I really liked your article on caffeine. I knew it was bad for baby but I always thought I would be ok going crazy on the caffeine until I got my bfp! Darnit, now I have to quit! Any advice on how to kick the habit and still have enough energy for a fast paced job??
Fingers crossed this is a lucky board full of lucky ladies with sticky beans!!!

Ttcgamer, I don't want my signature to take up so much space lol, but here is a screen shot

hi girls. So last months thread we had 3 ladies get their bfp! Yay! Myself not being one of them i decided to start an additional thread to find more ladies out there.
A little about myself. I am 35 and hubby 44. Am in our 8th cycle of ttc. Waited a long time to solidify careers, houses, and take care of elderly dogs. Didn't believe it would take this long, but am determined by xmas i will be pregnant
We are currently without insurance, but hopefully will have by october. I am on a myriad of supplements and eat now dairy and caffeine free. I am always on a low carb diet and exercise frequently. Hoping to find some fresh faces and share this exciting, yet frustrating journey.
I am currently on cd23 and just finished our bedding extravagnza.
Will be waiting for some new friends

lolol i am determined to make it my christmas present!

I'm with you ladies, I would love LOVE for a bfp to be my christmas present! In my perfect dream world I would get my bfp like NOW so I could announce it at christmas, but that's just my silly dreams. I'm really working hard towards those dreams though!

Thanks so much! Fingers crossed that it IS the start of a lucky streak for all of us.
It's still very early days so I'm cautiously happy but not letting myself think too far ahead. Haven't ventured over to the Pregnancy forum. I've also heard brown discharge doesn't mean anything, doesn't stop me from freaking out though.

 

[Fleur828815]

Ladies, I really hope you will all be pregnant by Christmas!

Only thing we did differently this time : listened to my friend's advice to BD everyday from CD 11 to CD 20 (almost managed it, missed out on 2 days). My cycles ranged from 26 to 32 days and I wasn't using OPKs or charting so wasn't sure when I would ovulate.

 

[Ladybird6972]

Congrats Fleur!!! Sooo happy for you!!!
