[Dazed]

I had a staycation. Hubby only gets a week a year where as I get 3 weeks. Tried to get some stuff done on the house plus to try to quit smoking, but neither of that worked. And YES, I KNOW its not good to smoke,especially during the 2ww. I just needed to get away from work and try to relax. I have been on edge since my mc in Feb. and decided its time to take some ME time. Not looking forward to going back tomorrow.

 

[heart tree]

Listen, I won't judge. I happen to know of someone who has smoked during her pregnancy due to stress. The baby is fine. So don't sweat it, you've been through a lot. Me time is very important. I hope you were able to relax during your staycation.

 

[Dazed]

I'm didn't mean to imply that you were going to judge. I'm sorry

 

[heart tree]

Oh sister I didn't think you did imply that! I just wanted to reassure you that I wouldn't judge you. No need to apologize.

 

[Duffy]

Hey ladies, I have not been here for weeks lol but I wanted to update you all Im five weeks and 3 days pregnant. We are both over the moon.

How everyone else doing any more positives, sending you all baby dust!

 

[Dazed]

Thanks Hearty! Well, I am off to bed now. Have a great night and an even better tomorrow.

 

[heart tree]

Congrats Duffy!

Good night Dazed.

 

[Allie84]

Congrats Duffy! When did you get your BFP?

Sugar and Nato, please please stay away from Google. Your symptoms could be caused by sooo many things, Sugar. I agree a laporoscopy will be good but Google turns us into hyphochondriacs and the stress of worry doesn't help. Easier said than done, I know.

Dazed your staycation sounds nice. I could go for one of those. This four day weekend flew by and now I'm just dreading work tomorrow. It's always harder to go back after a holiday.

Hearty, you do have a nice temp rise!

Yogi, hope you enjoyed your snacks and the Grey Cup. Erm, what is the Grey Cup? CFL finals?

 

[msarkozi]

Congrats Duffy!

Grey Cup for CFL = Super Bowl for NFL! and so happy that the Riders lost!!!!!! who were you cheering for Yogi?

 

[Megg33k]

Welcome back, Jaymie! That trip doesn't sound fun at all! Just hide in here with us... where its safe!

The plane pics were super cool!

Oh no that doesn't sound like fun at all, you need a relaxing break to get over that hun. Hope your kiddies enjoyed it though. In my personnel opinion I have never once in all my life met an only child that is not like that, I find them all spoilt and needy! So sorry if any of you are only children, perhaps I've just met horrible ones!!

Actually I'm sure Allie and Megg are only children and no way are they any of the above so maybe I'll eat my words.xxxxxx

I definitely am an only child! But, I'm also very, very spoiled... and I do have "needy" tendencies! I'm not obnoxious and disrespectful... but I am spoiled and a bit needy... I won't lie about it. My parents waited 10 years on a list before I was born and they could adopt me. They made sure that I never went without anything... whether it was a need or a want. They did whatever they could to please me, and its a hard habit to break. I want what I want and I want it immediately... Imagine how difficult TTC must be for me!

Hearty your chart looks amazing!!!

Mine looks crap, and i am cramping so think af is on the way, on 12dpo, so suddenly i have a shorter LP too.

mother fucker.

You're not out until the bitch shows!

thanks guys its seemed to of slowed down a little though i had go out and get super extra tampons cause the pads were making me feel dirty and my mooncup has not been re cleaned for the cycle i do have a migraine but i dont feel dizzy or that i will keep an eye on it

yay dawny cd2 for us i used to ovulate on cd17 but i wont know now cause this is my first af xxx

Keep an eye on it and take care of yourself!

I'm wondering if endo can cause low progesterone Nato? Thing is I only noticed pain after mc, but I've heard the pill can give you relief from the symptoms. Maybe I've had it a while and not noticed!

I'm turning into such a hypochondriac, but all the symptoms match mine. Things like spotting old brown blood before AF, back pain and pain in ovaries. Fuck!

No, endo doesn't cause low progesterone. You can have one, or the other, or neither, or both! But, they aren't related in any way.

I'm thinking tomorrow, but my better judgement says to wait intil the 7th or 8th (going by my longest cycle length).

I'm sending you buckets of !

OPK's are great. I highly recommend them. Then you can really pinpoint ovulation and sex. I'm relaxed right now. Being in the TWW is my favorite part of this whole game because things are out of my hands now. I can sit back and let whatever happens, happen. Symptom spotting has never been accurate for me. When I think I have symptoms, I'm not pregnant, and when I don't have symptoms, I am.

That being said, I'm 3dpo and already want to test! LOL! If they could figure out a test that told you if you were pregnant right after ovulation, it would make a ton of money. This whole TWW business is for the birds!

NO! No testing at 3dpo!

Hey ladies, I have not been here for weeks lol but I wanted to update you all Im five weeks and 3 days pregnant. We are both over the moon.

How everyone else doing any more positives, sending you all baby dust!

Congrats, Duffy!

 

[NatoPMT]

temps have stayed down this morning - im on average for my usual ov cycle.

pmsl at testing at 3dpo. The dark side beckons

sugar - don't know much about the symptoms as ive googled and got scared and stopped googling it - i didnt used to get cramping for a couple of days before af, but my af isnt any more painful than it used to be, so thats a good sign that i may not have it.

dazed, have you got a chart we can look at? hope its your month!

Duffy congrats!!!

 

[LucyJ]

Congratulations Duffy!

Sugar its definitely worth talking to your dr about but it may not be endo I'm just saying that as I have had two laparoscopy both time they were looking for endo I was convinced I had it as I had all the symptoms at the time my periods were horrific (they are even worse now if thats possible) and thought once they diagnosed me I would get it all sorted I cant tell you how upset I was when they said everything was normal as I couldnt understand how I could have such painful/heavy periods with spotting in between I literally felt like I spent half the month having them and the rest of the month waiting for it to arrive. I really wanted a reason I was put on the pill which didnt do much then I had another one about four years later and still they couldnt say what was causing the problems, I wasn't as upset the second time as I expected it and have learnt to live with them although coming of the pill was a shock as although my periods on the pill were painfull they were even more painful off it. The only advice I was given was get pregnant as that will sort them out well isnt that a kick in the teeth now. Good luck with it all and hope you do get some answers.

 

[LucyJ]

Just had a call from the councellors at the womens health centre I was offered counselling after my last mmc and said yes to it but there was a waiting list they said they would contact me when they had an available appointment I had totally forgotten about it but just had a call and have an appointment a week thursday I'm thinking it may be good especially as we have decided to try again may help with my fears.

Its cold today and no snow here! Hope everyone is alright and having a good day.

 

[Sassy_TTC]

Congrats Duffy, fab news.xx

Lucy - I had the same counselling it really did help me, I hope it does the same for you.xxxx

 

[LucyJ]

I'm glad it helped you Sassy and hope it will for me. I turned it down the first time but I thought this time it would be good idea to take them up on the offer I feel like I've lost myself a little and I know steve and my mum will be happy as they have been worried about me. Also I'm in trouble as I've lost some weight honestly with out realising it and not trying too as I thought I have been eating but I guess I'm not eating as much as I should so having a real effort to eat healthly, regularly and slightly bigger meals as I want to be healthy when I do get pregnant again.

 

[sugarlove]

Hi girls I got a peak today on CBFM day 22! My Consultant thought I might not be ov with my crap progesterone levels, so I'll wait for temp shift to confirm. I've also got a positive on an OPK!

I promise to stay away from google from now on! At least until I finally get a lap done. Lucy, that post was really helpful. I suppose it proves that not all pains are necessarily bad! The counselling sounds like a really good idea

Hope you enjoyed the game Yogi!

Hearty, does whatever you have (keep forgetting the name!) affect you with ttc at all? What do your meds do that you take hun? That's funny about testing on day 3

Congrats Duffy

Allie hope work wasn't too crap. I'm praying for more snow and hoping not to have to go in tomorrow..We have a good foot of it here in York! In fact I'm so impressed with it, I'm going to take a photo on my iphone. Will have to wait for Mal to get in from work though, as I don't know how to attach the photo

Dazed, good luck for the testing, I admire your restraint

Nato, I looked at your chart and couldn't help noticing that you sneakily tested yesterday. You kept that one very quiet you devious individual! You're still not out for this month chicken!

Megg I didn't realise you were adopted. How are the injections going?

Have a good day everyone

I was exactly the same, I think weight falls off you when you have a nervous kind of energy, I always felt on edge, weird sort of feeling really! I'm glad you have such close family around you, I shut everyone out and I think it made it so much harder! I forgot how to live and be happy, I just felt that being pregnant would be the only thing to make me happy and in a way I was right, it's hard to find a happy place in the mean time! I always think it's good to open up to someone that doesn't know anything about you so I think it will really help you.
What you upto today?

 

[LucyJ]

Nothing to exicting watching this morning and planning food for the week as we've been away for the weekend we dont have any food in so need to do a big shop. We eat the best when I plan are meals and havnt been doing that since lossing the baby so we've been eating rubbish and at odd times but going to get us back on track this week that and its so cold need some nice warming meals. Other than that I'm doing housework nothing to exicting got washing and ironing to do and my kitchen looks like a bit of a dumping ground so need to sort that. I should go for a little walk but its so cold I dont want to venture out!! What are you up too?

Sugar I'm glad it helped you've got snow you lucky thing we have nothing I kind of think if its going to be this cold then I want snow.
