Cycle 1 day 1. Who's with me? *update* It's a girl! Congrats baby_bray!!!

[BERDC99]

Well... Honestly, I don't feel like this is my month. I don't know why, just a feeling I have. (Maybe I'm just trying not to get excited? I dunno). But, despite that... I've been feeling miserable. I'm absolutely exhausted, completely worn our and all I want to do is sleep. My back is killing me, and I have a crampy full feeling like when AF is here. (Actually, I keep thinking AF is here, I have a bunch of creamy CM, and with the cramps and backache... I keep thinking it's AF).

Other than that, I have a headache, I'm starving and after a dip in my temp it shot back up this morning, so I dunno?

That is a good sign for your temp.I have a headache too, but no more than usual cm.

Yeah, the temp jump seems good... and the cm is crazy! I honestly feel like I'm leaking (sorry if TMI ). But yeah... it's not comfortable. My DH is having a hard time dealing with me not feeling well. He's always very intuned with how I'm feeling and he likes to 'fix it' when I'm sick.

He was shocked today when I explained that generally the first trimester is kinda awful. At any rate... keep fingers crossed for me, and I'll do the same for you!

Just wish these AF style cramps would go away!

Oh! and before I forget... have any of you had children previously? Some friends mentioned that during your second pregnancy (ectopic and miscarriage count), you feel everything much sooner. I was wondering if it was true for any of you?

I have a son that is 15 so I have forgoten what it all feels like cause it has been so long ago.

 

[mailcmm]

I have 2. You definitely show sooner and yes you kinda can feel more. Really because you know what to look for.

I still don't see any cm. Started taking the mucinex. I am really worried about it now. I am still moist though. Sorry TMI but couldn't think how else to describe it. I would feel better if it were more egg white like. Oh well, not much more I can do but wait and see. I don't think I have actually O'd yet so maybe it will come. I hope so anyway. I really want this to be the month. Trying not to get my hopes up but hard not too.

 

[mailcmm]

Ok all this is going to be a BIG TMI so don't read further if you don't want.

It turns out I am an idiot I haven't been checking for cm. Instead I have been looking at the toilet paper. For those of you that actually know how to do this.... Can it be normal not to see anything on the tp? I am going to check in a min but positive I am going to screw this up. LOL Any pointers? You can PM me if it's too graphic. At the rate I am obsessing about cm the TWW is going to be a blast. lol

So I checked and I think I am ok and am just about to O? I don't have ewcm yet but it's close. I think? God I wish I knew what I was doing. lol

When I have ewcm it is usually on the toliet paper. Not much but it is there. TMI......I usually use my finger to check mine. It will look like snot and stretch between your fingers. You can put it in cold water and it will ball and and sink.

OK, I am no expert but this is what I do... I think you can tell if you have more CM if you check it after you go no. 2 (It kind of pushes more out... I know tmi). Anyway, I try to check it while I am sitting on the toilet, cause it is easier to reach my cervix that way. I either swipe my index finger around my cervix or if I can I pinch the CM with my index finger and thumb (I can't always reach it that way though). If the CM is stretchy between my two fingers then it is EWCM, if it is just kind of thin and wet I would say it is watery, otherwise if it is thick and creamy it is not fertile CM.

Sometimes I have so much that I can see the EWCM on the tp, other times I don't have any on the tp and have to "search" for it.

TMI


Mine is definitely watery. It stretches about 1/4 inch then breaks. It's not at thick as snot though. I would say more like broken yolk then white? I have never had fertility problems (I am 4/4) but am just hoping this is not a crazy cycle since it's my first. I definitely have o pains. Those I know hands down.

Well it definately sounds like you are close to ovulating!

 

[mailcmm]

Awesome. I know stressing won't help things. Thanks ladies for listening and helping.

 

[colta]

Ouch!! My bbs are starting to get SORE!!!

lol... and I have a lot of cramps in my lower abdomen... hrm.

 

[mailcmm]

I so hope this is it for you.

 

[colta]

I so hope this is it for you.

Good lord... me too! I'm tired of feeling like crap.

 

[mailcmm]

I just want to be in the tww. I finally have ewcm. Went potty after dinner and it was there. I am ovulating? We bd'd this am though. Feel like we should be bding tonight and tomorrow am as well. So I guess tomorrow I start the tww? How does th is work? Do I wait til Wed to start counting? I have never ttc this whole heartedly. Usually I just have unprotected sex and wind up pregnant. But with a chemical followed by a D&C. I am freaking out.

Colta... I hope you feel better. I think seeing 2 lines with make feeling icky easier to deal with.

So I had a + opk yesterday morning, 7 am. It was the clearblue smiley one. Then I tested around 11am, because I am a crazy POAS person, and it was already negative. I had tested negative around 8 pm the night before. This would have been CD10, one or two days earlier than I have gotten a + opk in the last 7 cycles (wasn't testing before then). No temp rise today. Does anyone know if this could have been a false positive? I usually get the smiley face for one to two days before it goes back negative. And I got the smiley earlier than usual. ( I have 25-26day cycles)

 

[mailcmm]

I would love to help but sadly have no idea what I am doing. lol I have had +opks for 3 days? lol

 

[BERDC99]

Okay girls I am calling it a night.

I have had a headache all day, heartburn, kind of sore bb's, more than usual cm after O on my panties, and moody. I have also been have twingles on my left side. I have been laying around all evening and I just cant keep my eyes open any longer.

Tomorrow is one day closer to finding out how our TWW's will end.

 

[Twinkie210]

I am having cramping in my ovary region... I don't know if it is O pain or not, but so far no + OPK, hopefully tomorrow, FX'd

 

[mailcmm]

Good luck twinkie. I hope you O
